CAR SCHEDULE UNRELIABLE.
Miss Mary B. Whiton Complains
Through Hon. Wayne Macveagh.

The District Commissioners, through
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, have received a
communication from Miss Mary B.
Wilton, with reference to the street rail-
way service on the Tenleytown road. Miss
Wilton is the principal of the National
Cathedral SCHOOL, and her letter to Mr..
MacVeagh was to request his attendance
at the railroad hearing before the Com
missioners last Tuesday n"rning. Mr..
Macveagh being one of the trustees Of
the school.
las perhaps you know" writes Miss
Wilton. 1.-The Commissioners are intro
ducing before Congress a bill relative to
the management of street railways. Ger
tain clauses which refer to suburban
roads are of particular interest to US.
They advocate a fifteen minute service
and through cars on suburban lines.
THE car service at present Is very
bad. We have to change in Georgetown,
and the Tenleytown line. which passes
here. has an unreliable half-hour service.
The waiting and exposure in Georgetown
renders an increase to the day pupilage of
our school impossible. Under present
conditions it yields an income to the rail-
road of about SIS weekly but this would
be double or treble If the service were
efficient
Mrs. Wayne Parker wrote me a few
weeks ago that although she could speak
in cordial praise of everything connected
with the school, she could not recon-
mend it to her friends on account Of the
inaccessibility and exposure on the trip
to delicate girls. This is certainly very
discouraging situation

Marine Corps in This City.

An important capture was made yes
terday morning by Detective Sergeants
Muller and Baur. of this city. assisted
by Detective Dick, of Baltimore, when
they corraled James H. Wood. alias
Green. who, with two companions, broke
jail in Railway. N j.. about eleven days
ago. After overpoHering the guards they
gagged and bound them. Wood and three
companions then took to the woods and
succeeded in eluding capture.
Every effort was made by the New York
and New Jersey authorities to locate the
three men. Yesterday two of the escaped
convicts reached the Monumental City
and were taken into custody by the police.
Detective Dick ascertained that the other
member of the party, James H. Wood,
had come to this city for the purpose of
enlisting In the Marine Corps.
Acting upon this information the Bal
timore detective came to Washington yes
terday morning. He was joined by Detec-
tives Muller and Baur, and a trip made
identified and was taken in charge by
Detective Dick, who left at once for Bal
timore.
All three prisoners will be taken back
to Railway, n. ].
Wood came to this city on Saturday
and at once enlisted in the Marine Corps.
He and his two companions are well
known in the Eastern States, and the trio
were 'jailed'' by the Railway officials on
a charge of burglary.

COURT IGNORES
PLEA OF GUILTY
Appoints Counsel to Defend
Number of Prisoners.
Two Negroes Sent to Moundsville-
Fink Case to Be Disposed of
Friday, March III.

Justice Anderson had a very unusually
busy day yesterday in Criminal Court No.
l. The morning session was taken up in
hearing the pleas of many of the
prisoners who have been recently indicted
by the grand jury, and the afternoon in
the trial of two cases, in both of which
the defendants were convicted. The
prisoners were Immediately sentenced.
In the case of Joseph Kemp. colored.
found guilty of housebreaking, the
court imposed a sentence of five years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary at
Moundsville, w Va. Frederick Perkins,
also colored. convicted of second Of
fence of petit larceny. was sentenced to
two years imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary. In the trial of both cases the
Government was represented by Assist
ant District Attorney Thomas c. Taylor.
Fink First Arraigned
The first of the prisoners arraigned
was Louis Semel. who is charged with
conspiring to defraud the Metropolitan
Railroad Company. When the prisoner
was called upon to plead to the indict-
ment his counsel, Mr.. Joseph Saloman.
called Justice Anderson's attention TO the
fact that there is now pending before
Justice Clabaugh a petition for the re-
lease of Semel on habeas corpus proceed
ings. This matter will be finally disposed
of On Friday, March q. The prisoner was
remanded TO Jail to await the result.
In the case of Hezekiah Coates. colored,
thirteen years old, who is charged with
the murder of Carrie Corbin, also coIored,
On December j. last, at Anacostia, the
accused pleaded not guilty. Coates. though
very small and without counsel, did not
appear to be oyerawed by his surround
ings. or the fact that he was about to be
put on trial for his life.
So when called uaon to answer to the
indictment he spoke in a clear voice,
stating that he was not guilty, and was
without counsel or funds to employ an
attorney TO defend him. Justice Anderson
informed him that counsel will be appoint
ed to look out for his interests.
Both Plead Guilty.
In the cases of Robert West and Peter
Grant, both coiored. they pleaded guilty,
the first to an Indictment which charged
housebreaking. and the other to receiv-
ing stolen property. The prisoners evil
IDENTIFY did not understand what they did,
so Justice Anderson instructed the clerk
of the court to enter pleas Of not guilty
for them. The Court stated that the
charges against the prisoners will be
further Investigated before being finally
settled.
Robert Edelin,, indicted for man
slaughter, pleaded not guilty.
Ada Washington, charged with assault
with intent TO kill, pleaded not guilty.
Alice Beckett, colored, indicted for the
larceny OF about $1,000 worth Of jewelry,
from Frank Adams, pleaded not guilty.

WAR ON FAKE COMPANIES.
Insurance Firms Doing Business in the
District Must Be Reliable.

Mr. Thomas E. Drake, Superintendent OF
Insurance. announced yesterday that it
was the intention of his department to get
rid of certain irresponsible insurance or
ganizations that have been doing busi-
ness in the District in years past. He re-
ceiyed yesterday a notification from one
of these concerns the central offices OF
which are in Columbus, Ohio. that it
would withdraw from the District.
The reason assigned for this action was
stated to be a small membership in Wash
ington and the rigid requirements Of the
new insurance law. Mr.. Drake stated,
however, that the insurance society in
question was thoroughly Investigated by
the insurance department of Ohio while
he was member of 1t. and that the So
ciety preferred to withdraw to having its
affairs gone into under the laws of tho
District. Mr.. Drake mentioned one or
two other organizations which have re-
Gently closed their Offices here.
Mr. Drake stated yesterday that it
would be useless for any so-called grave
yard" insurance concern to apply for
license to do business in Washington
without frank and full compliance with
the law. both at the time of making the
application for license and afterward N
conducting its business.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY.
Greater Than Assertion.

There is none Of us so hardened but
that when We have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting a benefit
or bringing a little comfort into their
lives we like to have appreciation shown.
This generally affords more pleasure than
the performance of the act itself, and in
this connection the following letter from
Paris CTexas) lady is of more than
usual interest: Dear friends: | ad-

One Concern Contemplates Establish

500 Young Women.

Manufacturers in different parts of the
country are looking to the District as
suitable place for the establishment of
industries. The local Board of Trade
has received many communications ask

relative to matters of enquiry and will
report at the next regular meeting Of

member of the board, in discussing
the matter. said:
"As an illustration of the interest
evinced. it may be stated that a large
manufacturing concern Is at present con-
templating the establishment OF an i'm
portant industry here. which would give
respectable employment to about 500
young women and also require the SER
vices of a considerable number of men.
THE people who manage such plants
are naturally desirOus of obtaining avail
able sites at little or no expense. In
some localities land is often freely given

to induce the building of factories and
the occupation of adjacent real estate as
dwelling sites for operatives.
City Need Not Suffer.
1.-The residential part OF the city need
not in any way suffer from the increase
of industries here, as there is ample
room in the District and territory adja-.
cent, and the Government already has
large manufacturing plants here.
The smoke nuisance problem will ul
timately be solved satisfactorily. as meas
ures are already being considered to that
end. and it is to be hoped that the spe-
cial subcommittee may be successful in
its efforts to gather such facts as will
show the Importance and desirablity of
the District as a centre for industries"
