Congress, they made no preparations for
the replacement of the trolley on New
York avenue. Just before the limit expired
they applied to Congress for an extension
to July l, 1885
This was granted, despite the protests
of The Star which believed that no good
could come of thus temporiZing but
that, despite the final surrender of the
Metropolitan to the anti-trolley forces the
year before, there still lurked grave
danger in the persistence of the Eckington's
new owners. This fear was justified when
just before the extended time expired in
1875, the companys agents appeared at the
Capitol and asked quietly for another ex-
tension. The Washington and GEORGETOWN
was then fully equipped with cable like
wise the Columbia, and the Metropolitan
was preparing to equip at great expense
with the underground electric The owners
OF the lexington and Belt, The Star urged
when this new move was disclosed should
be required to follow the example of these
locally owned lines. The Star rallied all
the forces opposed to the trolley and the
request for another extension of time was
denied The time lapsed and still the over
head wires remained New York ave-
nue.. The Star demanded their removal
The final test of strength had come The
law was plain and yet it was arrogantly
defied. Hailed to court, the company's of
ficials denied the right of Congress to re-
strict the company to a specified method of
propulsion The court, however ruled that
the wires and poles We're illegal Instructions
in the street and ordered their removal
The District government removed the poles
and wires, and with them fell the last hope
of the trolley party.
Then followed an amusing series of So
called experiments with compressed air
cars, which gave practically no satisfaction
and aroused public apprehension lest the
hard work of the past few years must be
done over again. June 10, 1896, Congress
passed law formally granting three
months for air-car tests failing success in
which, as the Commissioners should decide
the companies should install the under
ground electric system. The official report
on the air cars was unfavorable and so
finally the last remaining company passed
to an electric conduit basis.

The Era of Consolidation.

The subsequent transa actions which re-
suited in the consolidation Of various lines
into single corporation, alone rivaling the
also reorganized Washington and George
town-Capital Traction-have r. part in
this recital of the history Of the great
anti-trolley fight. They form a chapter of
great Importance in Washington's business
development. Throughout the changes in
ownership The Star has demanded only
that the publc's rights be always respect
ed and preserved that the transfer privi-
leges be made liberal as is consistent
with the right of the stockholders to a fair
profit, and that the lines be maintained in
good order and run on truly rapid transit
schedules.
1t is noteworthy that not only has the troll
ley been kept outside of the city limits-with
the single present exception of the Tenley-
town line, which still runs to the Potomac
river in Georgetown by overhead wre-but
that the conduit construction has been car
ried even beyond Florida avenue in several
cases, While all new extensions into the
nearer suburbs are on this same basis. The
frontier has been both preserved and ad-
Vanced.

Burial of Other Wires.

That fight was only one phase of a gen.
eral struggle against all forms of overhead
electric wires in which The Star has for
years been engaged. 1t has always insisted
that the proper place for such conductors is
beneath the earth's surface and today
largely, it is believed, in consequence of it's
persistent advocacy of wire burial, there
are comparatively few miles of overhead
wires of any character within the city
limits, and practically high current
wires. The burial of these conductors has of
course involved a very heavy expenditure.
but wire owners today admit that the con-
duit system is best, because in the long run
the cheapest. So thoroughly has the cause
of wire burial been established in the Dis
trlct that it is scarcely necessary today for
The Star to scrutinize every fragment of
proposed legislation lest that dreaded enemy
of the late eighties and early nineties the
trolley creep into the capital through some
apparently innocent enactment.
The net result of this hard campaign, in
support of a large and intelligent body of
citizens, as well the effective co-opera-
ton of far-Seeing members of Congress, is
that Washington now has system of rapid
transit which is the delight of its people and
their millions of guests, with no attendant
drawbacks and no disfiguring equipment,
while the few wires yet remaining above
ground are destined in the near future to
be buried.

later submitted, the Commissioners outlin-
ing a scheme for a conduit system but
without particular bearing upon the street
railroad requirements of the city.
Congress did not wish to go further at
that juncture, and resting upon it's formal
prohibition of additional overhead wires for
street railways in the appropriation act
signed March 2, 1889, it authorized the
Commissioners to permit such additional
overhead wires for other purposes as they
deemed necessary. But it carefully guarded
this grant with the condition that the privi-
leges thus extended should be revocable by
Congress at will without compensation, and
it Furthermore limited the authorization to
the end of the Ffty-first Congress, two
years later

nada no definite advances toward a solu-
ton of the rapid transit problem although

steadfasty maintained, with expert testl-
mony to support the claim, that the many
curves in its long east and west line made
the cable impossible This argument, how
ever, could not apply to the 9th street line,
with it's comparatively straight route
Therefore public confidence in the good
faith Of the company was shaken. Storage
battery cars We're proposed but not adopt
ed and so time went by. The Star repeat
eddy called attention to the delinquency.
Into the District appropriation act of 1890
which was approved August 6, was inserted
a provision that any company operating a
car line from Georgetown to and beyond
the Capitol grounds failing within two
years to substitute power for horses, as
stipulated in the act of March 2 1889
should forfeit it's franchise. InaSmuch as
of the two lines falling within this defini-
ton. the Washington and Georgetown had
already announced it's intention to construct
it's cable equipment, the Metropolitan was
clearly the sole object of the law. Yet the
company procraStinated and began finally
to experiment with storage battery motors
which proved mechanically satisfactory but
uneconomical.
Meanwhile a law suit, brought by the Dis
trict against the Metropolitan company to
recover the cost of certain street paving
chargeab!e against the road, had been de-
cded against the company in heavy dam
ages, which it failed to pay. In 1891 Con-
gress commanded the payment within eigh-
teen months under penalty of a forfeiture
Of the franchise. Thus the Metropolitan
was confronted with dual threat of total
extinction and its plight seemed serious. In
July, 1892. it secured years extension of
time for comp citing the rapid transit equip
ment with storage batteries. This act
stated a penalty differing from the for
fixture clause of the act of 1890 so that
when the year passed and the Metropolitan
remained a horse-car line, a question arose
as to the status of the corporation The
Star did not urge a forfeiture. believing
that better results would flow from the re-
tentton of its franchise by the company if
given final chance to adopt a practicable
electric system other than the trolley. A
full year elapsed, however, before action
was taken in the form of the act of Au-
gust 2, 1894, which formally required the
Metropolitan to be equipped throughout

hand and The Star proved the fact when
in October, 1892, 1t printed, in the course of
a series of letters from editorial CORE

w. Moves, one describing the underground
electric railway then in successful operation

that it was possible to conduct propelling

station to the moving car by means of

Suburban Lines of 1888.
The four roads authorized in 1888 were all
trolley lines The pleas of the incorpora-
tors and of some of the people were needed
by Congress to the extent of permitting
this method of construction, not only in
the country, but for short distances into the
city. The Brightwood and Rock Creek lines
brought that device to the city limits. The
Tenleytown and lexington lines carried it
inside what The Star and many Washing
tonians believed should be the limit of toll
erance, the old Boundary No especial
protest ever raised against the trolley
strictly suburban method of propulsion.
1t was conceded that, however bright the
prospect of the suburban areas of the Dis
trict for urban development. it would be
difficult, and perhaps unjust and unwise,
to restrict their growth by prohibiting the
cheaper method of transportation. But the
multiplication of these country troeys
headed for, and in two cases extending
into, the city itself caused fears for the
preservation of the streets, and the fight
was waged relentlessly for the maintenance
of the frontier of exclusion. Boundary

ida avenue, thus came to be regarded by

The lexington Line.

The lexington and Soldiers Home COM
pany had, in 1885, built a trolley line into
the city, ending at 9TH street and New
York avenue. When it applied, in 1890, for
an extension of its route down 9TH street
to G street and thence to the treasury, the
trolley was recognized. Consequently the
people, their case being frequently stated
by The Star, demanded that the legislation,
if granted, be carefully guarded in this re-
desired right of way, was one of the great
victories scored in the anti-troIley cam
paign, for not only did it stipulate that if
electric wires were used on this new line
it went further. and the right of the
company to erect or use overhead wires
within the city should cease July l. 1893.
Congress had determined not only to
hold the trolley where it was, but to force
it back to the frontier. But the war was
not ended. The lexington line with it's
branches, together with the Belt road had
passed into the hands of out-of town CAPT.

Rapid Transit Demanded.

Rapid Transit Demanded.
Meanwhile the transportation facilities
inside of the city had been outgrown, as
disclosed so emphatically in the case of the
Columbia line on II street. The horse cars
could not go fast enough to meet the wishes
of the people, nor could they be run with
profit sufficiently close together to give an
effective service. A jogtrot pace too
slow for the developing community. Conse-
quently the demand for rapid transit be-
came insistent. The time for a choice had
come. One section of the people desired
relief even at the expense of the principles
of municipal beauty and at the risk of life
and limb. Another stood by The Star in
demanding the underground method Prac-
tically ALL however, agreed that Pennsyl
vania avenue should never be profaned by
trolley poles. There Were. short of the
conduit electric system, two available
methods of propulsion the cable and the
storage battery. Both We're locally I'M
known, the latter of doubtful efficiency and
economy. The cable however, had been
in use for some years in several other
cities notably San Francisco and Chicago,
and had proved a fairly efficient medium
of power transmission. The District COM
mittees of both houses were besieged by
the advocates of the trolley, some seeking
merely an outlet for local capital, others
working in the interests, it was well I'M
derstood, of the manufacturers of trolley
equipment and still others representing
certain large systems of trolley lines in
other cities, eager to break down the bar
riers which held their favorite device out
of Washington, the only American city
outside of New York which it was not per-
mitted to enter. The Star continued to
describe the penalty the trolley-rdden cities
were paying for their hastily obtained
rapid transit and urged the preservation of
an anti-trolley sentiment, which finally
convinced Congress that Washington was
worthy of salvation.
Overhead Wires Prohibited.
This was the state of affairs when dur
were being chartered and the lines were
sharply drawn between the trolley and
ant-trolley parties in the District The
latter. determined to force the issues I'M
dertook to interpose at least a provisional
check upon the wire-erecting tendency
and. after a sharp contest before the com
mitteeS of Congress, secured the adoption
of an amendment to the District appropri-
tion act approved July Is, 1883, which ac-
complished that purpose. That amendment
provided that the Commissioners should
not, after September 10 of that year, permit
the erection of any additional overhead
wires for any purpose within the city. 1t
further directed them to investigate and
report to Congress at its following session
as to the best method of removing the
wires from the air or the street surfaces
and interrng them, and the general plan
of system of conduits. Such report was

AN ARTIST
 WITH LIGHT TOUCH
STRIKES TOWN YESTERDAY AND IMMEDIATELY WORKS HIS
 CRAFT IN $ DOSES

One S. P. Vaughn hit the town yes terday and a few minutes later hit a few of his friends. He proved to be no 'respecter of persons" for he hur- ried up one side of the street and down the other. Bob Tate was given the high sign but simply winked the other eye: he touched a policeman under the short ribs, who promptly informed him that he was working that side His touch was simply a wonder and gave evidence of an art ist.
 Johnny Boston of the Annex was leaning leisurely over the safe door with a five in one hand and a cigar in the other, when Vaughn rushed in. He was a prince at rushing and gave a splendid performance of the rush act. Boston loosened and leaned back against the safe in dazed con dition as the V futtered out the door.
 You're touched" said friend to Boston who was familiar with Vaughn's brilliant feat. He has a record in Tombstone, Phoenix and California, and his touching powers are only equaled by his gall.
 "C-c-even. Come eleven." Big Dick from Boston,"
 He's shooting craps" said Boston. "Now's my time" and Boston rushed in to find all of his five dollars but a fifty-cent piece, carefully tucked away in the Orient crap table.
 Vaughan later registered at the Copper Queen hotel and was inform. ing the management that he would take the bridal chamber if there was nothing better when Officer Jennings placed his hand upon his shoulder and said he had a warrant for his arrest. "Never mind that" said Vaughn dis concerted, there are others" and he borrowed the five to pay this back.
 Boston paid 2.50 to get his five and experience; the manager of the Bis bee Improvement company Is won- dering where he's to get on and Vaughn was explaining to the natives how naturally the whole thing hap pened.
