CITIZENS AGREE TO
RAILWAY HBRMIN AL
Matter Adjusted at Hearing
Before Commissioners.
Chesapeake Beach Trains to Come All
the Way to Station in the
District.

The District Commissioners Yesterday
granted public hearing to several per-
sons interested in the construction OF
the proposed street railway terminal
near the intersection OF the Benning
and Bladensburg Roads. Several owners
of property in the vicinity were repre-
sented, as were the Washington Eiec-
trio and Railway Company and the Ches-
apeake Beach Railway Company.
The property owners chiefly repre-
sented raised the contention that the
plans Of the companies, as they under
stood them, threatened the status Of
Maryland Avenue extended and with
the widening of the Benning Road in
accordance with the street extension
plans.
Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson presented she
case for the residents Of the section and
discussed it at some length.
Amicably Adjusted.
The railway companies were repre-
sented By Mr.. F. A. McKenney, and after
he had explained the plans of the com
panies. as far as they have been worked
cut, the objections of the property hold
ers to the issue of permit to perform
the work was withdrawn. and the mat
tiers at issue were amicably adjusted.
During the discussion 1t transpired
that working agreement has been ef-
fected between the Washington Electric
and Railway Company and the Washing
ton and Annapolis Railway Company
whereby the cars from the Chesapeake
Beach Railway shall be brought into
the proposed terminal and passengers
unloaded and transferred outside of Ben
ming Road in the shed and station which
is to be constructed.
Electric Motor Trains.
1t appears that the cars of the latter
read are to be brought into the city
over the tracks Of the Columbia Road
by an electric motor. and that these will
alternate with cars OF the Columbia
Road over the same line.
Among those present at the hearing
were Judge c. C. Cole, Gen. G. H. Har-
ries, Mr.. George E. Hamilton and Mr..
A. b. Duvall, the City Solicitor.

TROUBLES OF STANDARD
BUTTGRINE COMPANY
Two Suits Brought in the
District Court.
Question of Placing the Corporation in
the Hands Of Receiver to Be
Determined Today.

The Standard Buttcrine Company, of
Langdon. D. C., was a defendant yester-
day In the Supreme Court OF the Dis
trict CT Columbia in suit at Law by
Mr.. Charles F. Nesbit against the But
terile Company and others, IN which the
latter were alleged to be indorsers OF
certain promissory notes for $4,000 held
by the plaintiff.
The declaration charged that the But
terine Company Wa. nonresident cor
poration. and was indebted to the plain
tiff in the sum OF $4,000; that the in
debtedness was represented by a note
which had been protested, and asked
that an attachment be levied upon the
plant and assets OF the company, which
has It's principal works at Langdon
u. c.
The petition was granted.
Receiver Asked For.
Shortly afterward a bill in equity was
filed by the same plaintiff against the
Butterine Company, alleging the indebt-
edness referred to, the existence Of the
suit. and the fact that the assets of the
company consisted largely of equities in
real estate, and that as other suits were
threatened, the company should be
placed in the hands OF a receiver, that
the assets might be properly gotten to-
gether and the best interests of the
stockholders subseTved.
Upon the bill being presented to JUS
tice Hagner in Equity Court No l by
Messrs. Ralston & Siddons counsel for
the complainant, the court passed a de-
cree appointing Messrs. Harrison Crook,
E. Q. Smith, Frederick L. Siddons, and
Wilton J. Lambert receivers, with power
TO take charge OF the entire assets of
the company in the interests OF the
stockholders and creditors.
Question to Be Decided Today.
Subsequently, however. after con-
sultation with Messrs. Lambert and
Baker, representing the defendant COM
pany. the operation of the order was
neld open for further hearing to be
lad this morning.

EXTENSION OF ERIE
STREET NOT FAVORLD
Report on Senate Bill by
Captain NeWcomei,
Other Provisions Made for Passing From
Columbia Heights to
Meridian Hill

The District Commissioners have
reached a conclusion in the matter OF
the extension Of Erie street. as provided
for in Senate bill GOA. referred TO them
fer consideration and report The dec!-
sion OF the Commissioners was upon
molten OF Captain Newcomer. Acting
Engineer Commissioner. who submitted
q statement as follows:
The object Of the bill is to extend
Erie Street, III the subdivision Of Meri
dian Hill. so that it will connect with
Columbia Road at It's western end aad
with University Place at its eastern
end
with reference to the extension at
the western end, it will be seen that
by making a detour to the north-a dis
:ance CT less than leo feet-by way CT
Champlain Avenue, it is now entirely
practicable to pass from Erie Street to
Columbia Poad.
Extension Not Necessary.
AS this outlet is believed to be ade-
quate and reasonably convenient. it
would seem to be unnecessary that the
proposed extension to the point named
should be made
THE extension of the street easterly
to connect with University Place is
much more important and is needed
improvement There is at present no
through street connection between c.
lumbia Heights and Meridian Hill for
the entire section north of Chaplin Street
TO the Columbia Road. distance of
about half a mile. This connection,
however, IS provided for by the bill for
the extension of Euclid Place to Co
lumbia Avenue, Senate bill J909, upon
which the Commissioners submitted a
favorable report several days ago. and
the plan of extension IN that bill is
deemed more satisfactory than In the
enc under consideration.
Recommends Nc Action.
For the foregoing reasons. the bill
seems to be unnecessary, and it is rec
commended that no further action be
taken upon It."
1t is understood that the report of the
Commissioners to Congress will be along
the lines laid down in the foregoing mo-
tion OF the Acting Engineer Commits

DISTRICT IN NEED
OF A BRIBERY LAW
Commissioners Expect to
Have Clause Enacted.
Mr.. Macfarland Assumes Responsibility
for Suggestion Made to Sen
ator Allison.

II appears from q recent publication in
New York newspaper that some mis-
apprehension has arisen relative to the
incorporation OF what is known as the
bribery clause" in the District appro-
priation bill. With reference to the mat
ter Commissioner Macfarland authorized
the appended statement as to the origin
OF the clause:
There is a supposition that the
clause originated with Senator Allison
en- representation made TO him by per-
sons outside Of the District govern
ment. Such is not the fact, as Commits
sioner Macfarlard has taken the respon-
sibility of its suggestion to Senator ALI
son upon himself and his colleagues.

Survey of an African Lake.

The British government has just COM
pleted the survey Of the English section
of the Victoria Nyanza, In Central
Africa, for the establishment OF a
steamer service on the lake In connec-
tion with the Uganda railway. which
has recently been completed. The sur
veying has occupied l3 months and was
carried out by two surveyors In two
small steel boats. Every part Of the
British shore OF the Nyanza was cx-
plored, aggregating over 1900 miles OF
coast line. mainland and islands The
latter have been accurately charted for
the first time, and In parts the maps OF
the lake shore have been altered from
their existent physical condition.
The lake Is studded with very large
number Of islands of varying sizes,
many OF them densely populated. The
British portion of the lake Is about 1875
miles from east To west, and about 80
from the north to the Anglo German
boundary. excluding the eastern gulf, 40
miles long, which has now been proper
ly mapped The lake Is constantly sub
ject to storms which render AZ danger
Gus TO navigation. Owing to this fact.
and the smallness OF the boats. IL was
not thought advisable to visit three
small islands which were visible far out
In the lake. but with these exceptions
every island has been visited and mapped
by the expedition.
During the journey the surveyors dis
covered several islands Inhabited by saw
ages Even some OF the tiniest rocky
islets were found TO be tenanted by fish =
ermen. Preparations are being made for
the development OF the lake traffic with
the opening Of the railway. and passen- :
gers leaving the train at Port Florence,
on the lake shore terminus Of the rail-
road. will step on board twin screw
steamers alongside the jetty. which will
convey them TO the different stations.
one Of the steamers for this service has
already left England. and should be on
the lake by June. Another steamer will
follow. These vessels are each 175 feet
in lngth and draw six feet OF water

Agile Statesmen, These.

Following the example set by Senator
Whitfield. Speaker Montgomery. and
Representative Martin. the three legisla-
tors with the greatest amount of lung
power. members OF the assembly. state
officers, and many citizens OF Denver
have adopted step climbing in the open air
as a means OF strenuous exercise.
Although a slow climb up the stone
steps on the lawn In front of the Broad
way entrance TO the capitol and then up
the stone staircase TO the first floor Is
usually sufficient for one unaccustomed
TO II. the three solons mentioned find this
activity inadequate for the proper devel-
opment of their muscles and lungs.
These men. during the whole of the ex-
ira session. have made II a practice TO
not walk up the two tiers OF steps. but
TO run as fast as their legs could carry
them, clear from Lincoln avenue into the
centre of the building.
Senator Whitford started the innova-
tiou and the other two members heard
of Il and followed suit. Three times a
day each has made the ascent OF the two
tiers of steps at a rapid gait. There are
fifty-four steps all told.
When there Is any wind stirring II
sweeps freely across the capitol lawn ana

AS the air in that section is free from
smoke and noted for its purity and fresh
ness. this is no insignificant part OF the
benefit derived from the exercise.
The exertion Is hard on the heart. but
IL is geed- for the lungs The three men
who have given II a thorough test say II
is the best scheme on earth to get them
selves into condition to make long
speeches without getting out OF breath.
The many long and loud speeches made
during the past fifty days by these three
members indicate that their training In
this hne had it's effect.
1t requires several weeks OF practice
before the climbers can make the com
plete ascent. running without painting
AT first one can only make six steps at
time without losing his wind.
Senator whitford advises the exercise
for ambitious orators and men who need
more lung power and better leg muscles.
Many of the employees of the capitol have
taken II up with great success, while
most any morning citizens OF prominence
residing In that section can be seen max
ing the climb at rapid rate.-Denver
