MEETING ON the MlTTERYEsTER1lY
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
WORKS coNsuLTs WITH
EXPERTS.
Complete Set of Regulations Govern
ing Wiring and Obstruction Of the
Streets by Poles VIII Be Drawn
up-Anosher Meeting.

James H. Boyd. Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works, has gone actively into the
matter of the obstruction of the streets
by forests of telephone. electric and other
poles. and viii consider the subject in con
nection with that of electric wiring for
houses and proper insulation in buildings.
Mr. Boyd readily grasped the idea adj
vaneed BY The Republican that this was
a subject meriting attention and set at
once 10 work upon il. He looked into the
law and found that the regulation of such
matter was in his hands. He discov-
cred also that in the past no rules and
regulations governing the placing of poles
and wiring had been adopted.
Acting upon the impulse impaired by
the suggestion of this paper, Mr.. Boyd
decided that rules should at once be
adopted and made prompt start TO pro-
cure them.
1t may be stated that prior TO this time
there was request of the Underwriters
for definite regulations in regard to wir-
ing. Combining the two subjects. Mr..
Boyd began his Investigations and labors.
Yesterday morning he summoned in con-
ference Marston Campbell. assistant su-
perintendent of public works; W. l..
Frazee. superintendent of the Govern
ment electric light station. and Mr. De
Cew. outside inspector for the Board of
Underwriters. The conference had TO do
chiefly with the subject of wiring but
the matter of poles as street obstruc-
ton was brought out and Mr.. Boyd stat
ed that he wanted TO also include that IN
the regulations.
Only a start was made. Other confer
ences will be held next week. At the
first one Manager Gartley of the Hawaii
an Electric Company and Manager Bal
lentyne. of the Rapid Transit Company.
will be invited to be present with the
others. The latter two win be asked es-
pecially for their opinions in regard to
the necessity of poles in the thorough
fares
Mr. Boyd feels strongly on the point
that there should be precise and strin-
gent regulations in regard to house wiz
ing for electric lighting. He feels next
that something should be done and at
once to curtail the distractions OF the
streets by poles.
The point of The Republican, which
has met the approval of Mr.. Boyd. Man
ager Ballentyne and other citizens is that
there is entirely too many poles Of various
kinds in the streets. both for safety and
convenience In an interview Mr.. Bal
lentyne pointed out that by the use of
taller poles both telephone cables and
electric wires could be successfully man
ipulated upon the same series. greatly re-
ducing the present number. Dir. Gartley
and Mr.. Corcoran took issue with this
view

scHLEYs WITTY ATTORNEY.
The Hon. Raynor Is Called the Actor.
Orator of Maryland.

From the Saturday Erenino Post.
The Hon. Isader Rayner. one of Ad-
miral Schley's counsel is called the
actororator of Maryland His friends
say that had he chosen the drama as
his theater of action he could easily
have won distinction as a tragedian
His colleagues who served with him
in Congress delight in telling how he
strobe up and down the aisles when
making impassioned speeches
Unlike MANY of the great debaters
of the House. Mr.. Rayner seldom
lapses into humor. except when inter
rupted His set speeches were form
liable to his opponents. A stern. I'M
compromising earnestness was his
secret of strength in oratoricai COM
bat
In the beginning Of his COMPRESSION
al career some of his opponents
sought to weaken his arguments by
constantly interrlpting him. but these
tactics seSved to concentrate his wit
In his retorts he sometimes departed
from his statelier manner and hurled
shafts of satire.
While making a speech in favor of
a reduction of the tariff he was inter
rupted bv the late Congressman
Dingley of Maine. who asked Mr. Raw
ne>if he favored putting coal on the
free list
Coal is not mentioned in this bin"
replied Mr.. Rayner.
s.But | should like to know Il the
gentleman will Join me and others to
nut coal en- the free list persisted

Maryland Congressman.
Mr.. Dinglev replied that he would
answer that question when the bill
was completed.
We'll" retorted Mr. Rayner. when
YOU answer my question, I'll answer
yours. Well both answer t gether."
Later Gear Reed asked him what
his attitude was as to glass.
I'VE both live in glass houses and
had better change the subject" was
Mr.. Rayner' rejoinder.
Reed and Ravner were frequently
in some verbal duel.
Did not the gentleman hear nv

on one occasion.
