STOPPED ON THE NEAR Side
New Regulation Governing street
Cars i'm Effect Yesterday.
Many Patrons of the Railways Puz-
zIed-Few Remembered the Change
All Were Not Good NHtured and
the Notormcn Were Amused.

Every street car in Washington, when
il stopped at a crossing yesterday came
to standstiI on the near side. The
much-talked of near side regulation a
last went into effect. Though seemingly
only q slight change in the regulations
governing the operation of the rapid
transit facilities, il caused considerable
surprise. anger. and occasionally pro
family Perhaps that was due to the fact
that the new order conficted with the
custom of the residents of the National
Capital who for months boarded street
cars on the far side OF the crossings.
All the people could hardly be expected
to remember that the new regulation was
ordered to so into effect on st. Patrick
Day They could hardly he expected to
keep that in mind-and they didn't. 1t is
doubtful if before u o'clock noon more
than few persons were on the near side
of the crossings when waiting for cars.
1t was even stated that the Commission
ers who were instrumental in bringing
about the change as a result of recent
accident, were obliged to cross over to
board the car.
Perhaps after man had been fooled
once or twice he was able to remember
about the change. In such cases he could
crossing and gloat over the unfortunates
who. unaware of their predicament, were
waiting on the opposite side. The disposi-
tions of the motormen had much to do
with the condition of the tempers of the
would be passengers who waited on the
wrong side.
Good natured mOtormeu would bring
| their car to a sudden halt on the near
| side of the street, having nearly forgotten
the new rule themselves, and then becKcn
J the person, or persons, on the FAR SIDE 10
! come over to the car. Such action had
! the effect of making the change a trivial
! matter. But the other variety or motor
| man was the one who brought down exc
| erations galore on the heads OF street
| railway men in general and the changers
| of laws. This latter type of motorman
! was he who stopped his car on the near
| side for a perceptibe instant and then
| turning the current on full, shot past
! the waiting passengers without even look
! ing al them. Sometimes he tantalized
| them by waiting on the near side until
| they started toward the car. When they
| had nearly reached it. the car would start
! with a jump and then there would be a
! short and futile race after the fieeting
! brass railing on the rear platform. All
| Caiibre of CpithetS would then be hurled
| after the speeding car.
'Of course, the change is bound 10 hc

faces. His ears reached to the ground.
There were many things In them"
''They split his ears open with knife
and found their son in one. He was very
lean and pale. He could not speak, and
he had thick, long hair on him from his
legs to his head, but his head and face
were smooth. He had almost turned into
a Two-face."
'1n the other ear they found many
bones, arrows, pipes, axes, head-break-
ers. alnts, whips, necklaces. quilts, hide
scrapers and many other things
Then they called together all the Kit
