WAITING FOR THE CAR.
Tribulations of an Elevator Man as
Told by Himself.

II wish you would ride up and down in
the elevator with me few times and hear
how some of the people IN the building let
ME know they are waiting for the car"
said an elevator man in an uptown office
building to Star man. The reporter was
not very busy and complied with the re-
quest with the following result. He rode to
the basement IN the car and then started
up.
Going up" said burly specimen OF
humanity as the car shot to the main floor.
THAT duffer knows we have to stop at
this floor. but he always signals, said the
conductor. A number of people boarded
the car and 1t started on its journey to the
tenth floor.
AS IL reached the second floor and did not
stop, a young woman in the back of the car
said. ''Oh. don't you stop at all of the
floors? l want to get off a the second"
The elevator man obligingly dropped the
car back to the second floor and let her out.

a timidlooking man.

LINcoLN's PRIVATE CAR.
Relic Which Many Believe Should Be
in National Museum.

There Is standing on q side track In the
Union Pacific railroad yards at Omaha,
Neb., relic that many people think should
be in the National Museum at Washing

city to Star man at the New Willard.
TT is the old armorcd car used by Abra-
ham Lincoln when he was President of the
United States. and was also used to carry
the body Of the martyed executive to Its
resting place at Springfield. H., in 1866
The car remained at Springfield until the
close Of the civil war, at which time much

she is chopping her floors for kindling

WILLIAMS WILL NOT RETIRE,
President of the Seaboard Air Lin,
Denies Report.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, September 22.-Mem-
bers of the firm of John l.. Williams &
Sons Of this city, said to be the largest
owners of Seaboard Air Line railway stocks
and partners of President John Shelton
Williams of the Seaboard. positively deny
the story printed this morning that Mr..
Williams is to retire from the presidency,
and that Mr.. Yoaklm OF the Rock Island
will name his SUCCESSOR,
The denial, it is understood, is confirmed
by direct message from President Will
liams in New York. who, says the idea Of a
change in the presidency is not in contems
plation. There may be some changes in
minor offices. AS was announced some time
ago, and again recently, the Rock Island
people have acquired large interests in the
Seaboard and close alliance for mutual
advantage has been arranged between the
two systems. but there is nothing in the
transaction likely to cause the retirement
of the president. There is no reason to be-
lieve that he has any purpose of retiring
and every person to believe that he has no
such purpose. ~

Trolley Homes.


Now that parlor cars and sleeping cars
on trolley lines are established we may be
privileged to speculate a bit as to what will
come next as an annex of the broomstick
train. Suppose we hazard the guess that 1t
will be the trolley house-first cousin to the
house boat. By the building of spurs and
side tracks in delightful spots at country or
SeaShore at a fair and far distance from
the main lines resting places for these NOV
able dwellings could be comfortably man
aged. At one of them a trolley house might
remain for as long a time contentment
was the staying power and when this burn
ed out the trolley pole might be put in con-
tact with the wire and the trolley house
trundled away to pastures new. OF course
this is merely the toughest outline of a pos
sible development of the electric car, but 1t
is the pleasantest part upon which the lay
mind can dwell Details of it, like the Sc
curing of suitable drinking water and the
training of every tenant of one of these
dwellings to be his own motorman may as
well be left to the consideration of those
whose business 1t would be to perfect them.

FANCY FOR BEADWORK.
Pretty Articles Made on Looms the
Newest Phase of the Pursuit.

From the New York Sun.
Bead weaving is the newest thing in the
way of fancy work. Quite businesslil,c
looking little looms come for doing it, and
the product is as different from the sort OF
beadwork made by sewing beads on canvas
or net as chalk is from cheese. The looms
come in boxes, with flax thread for the
foundation warp. hanks of part-colored
bead patterns and other necessaries. ANA
teurs pronounce the work not hard to learn.
For bead weaving the beads used are
nearly always lusterless rather than CLASSY
or transparent. They show the pattern
better and make the belt, girdle. handker-
chief bag or what not more appropriate
to wear with the generality of costumes.
Belts or bands of passementeries so woven
in a simple pattern of Persian colors on
subdued groundwork of gray or cream are
very satisfactory possessions and very dec
Orative.
Many of the patterns are modelled after
those seen in the specimens of Indian bead
work as exhibited on moccaSinS. medicine
bags and belt pouches. The designs used
in modern tapestry work, vine leaves and
scroll work are also employed. Once IA
miliar with the craft, the worker can orig
mate her own patterns and apply the bead
texture to variety of purposes.
A tobacco pouch lately completed has
bead panels woven in a pattern resembling
the markings on a heron's wing, alternating
with leather sections the shade of the
ground work. 1t is possible for a practiced
weaver to depict almost any symbol on the
bead groundwork, such as a pipe. an oar,
golf stick, whip or other popular sports
mans implement. Initials, bars of music,
crests, notices can also be satisfactorily
interviewer. The rage for beadwork is so
markedly on the increase that dealers in
embroidery and embroiderer's wares have
made important additions to their stock.
Lessons in bead weaving are to be had a
several places in town.
Quaint, old-century-1ooking bead bags
that were carried by danes of four genera
items ago are being reburnished. Prirn
floral garlands, arched cathedral fronts
and ancient-looking cherub faces character

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ARGUMENTS OF ATTORNEY GEN.
ERAL F1NDLAT ON BOUNDARY.
Question Of Divisional Lines Not
Raised by Great Britain Before
the Yukon Bush.

LONDON, September 23.-Attorney Cen
eral Finlay concluded his argument in be-
half Of Canada at this mornings session OF
the Alaskan boundary commission. He re-
ceived the thanks Of Chief Justice Alver-
stone and the congratulations of Messrs
Root and Lodge on his lucid explanation
Of so technical and comprehensive SUBJ
ject.'
The attorney general made 1t clear that
Canada wants above everything access to
the sea, and American counsel informed
the Associated Press that every effort will
be made by them to convince the tribunal
that the treaty contemplated a barrier be-
tween the dominion and the ocean, and that
the question Of territory Is not important,
provided the shores and inlets remain in
the possession Of the United States.
David 7. Watson of Pittsburg, of coun-
sci for the American side, opened for the
United States, describing the purchase OF
Alaska, and stating that the United States
published in 1867 the map issued by Rus
STA in 1926, one year after the treaty with
Great Britain, and that no protest was
made against the boundaries therein fixed
either by Great Britain or by Canada
After Gold Discovery.
Mr. Watson pointed out that it was three
years after gold was discovered in the
Yukon territory that Great Britain made
her first formal notification that she would
question the title of the United States to
the heads of inlets. The correspondence
prior thereto referred to the actual demarc-
alton line on the ground, but no question as
to the accuracy Of the boundary claimed
by the United States, as universally shown
on the maps. had ever previously been for
mally raised by Great Britain.
A 3. Aylesworth. K. c.. of Canadian
counsel, remarked that In 1867 Canada had
no concern in the question, and had no
right to interfere with an objection, as her
territory was not extended to the Pacific
until 1871.
Mr. Watson, continuing, quoted the report
of the surveyor general Of Canada, in 1874.
agreeing that the line was across certain
rivers which were empting at the head of
the Lynn canal and argued that Canada
thereby acknowledged the United States
claim to the heads of inlets.
The commission adjourned for the day.

HAWAIIAN GAZETTE NOVEMBER 81 3sEMIWEEKLY
GEN. MACARTHUR TALKS
OF HAWAIIAN DEFENCES

Major-General Macarthur, U. S. A.,
| fornia, accompanied by Mrs. MacAr-
thur, arrived yesterday on the Korea,
and registered at the Young Hotel
| General Macarthur comes on a mis-
sion of Importance, for in conjunction
with the Army Board now here of
which Col. Mackenzie is the chairman,
his recommendations as to forts and
Notifications required for the Islands,
will accompany those or the Board.
In an interview accorded to an Ad-
vertiser man yesterday, General Mac
Arthur stated that the defense of
Pearl Harbor will be the first under
taking of the War Department. When
the erection Of the Naval Station be-
gins it will be the duty of the De-
partment to establish the necessary
fortifications about it as a defensive
measure.
General Macarthur stated that fort
would be built in the vicinity of Pearl
Harbor, possibly on the upper lands.
but as the General has not yet had
an opportunity of going over the sites
already proposed he was not prepared
to say where it would be finally To-
Gated.
"The defense of Pearl Harbor is the
main feature for the Department to
consider" said the General. What
ever Notifications are necessary to pro-
tect the naval property at Pearl Har-
Dor will be recommended by the Board.
Then there will probably be a mobile
force, so to speak, which would be
entirely apart from Pearl Harbor. The
fortification could defend themselves
from the attacks of adversaries in
front, but the back yard would have
to be guarded, and this would be done
by the mobile force which could be
swung about at will.
Honolulu, speaking from a strate-
gic standpoint, is not necessarily
point which needs defensive fortifca-
tions. An adversary could reduce the
city, but the mobile force could pre-
vent a foothold from being obtained
there. At all events with Pearl Har-
Dor safely defended, the reduction of
Honolulu, although this would entail
a great loss to the community, would
not tend to shake the defense of Pearl
Harbor."
do you consider It necessary to de-
fend any of the other islands?" was
asked.
II do not think So" was the reply
"An adversary might capture the
other islands, and yet it would not
give him much of a foothold, as long as
