Miss Lillian Dougherty IS ex-
pected to arrive here tomorrow from
Brownsville to enter upon her du-
ties as principal assistant in the
Hidalgo School. The opening OF
the school was considerably retard-
ed this session in consequence of
the flood, but the prospects for a
successful term were never better
than at present. Professor Viii
liams, the principal, is up to date
in all methods, and has made
teaching his life work. Miss Lii
Ian Dougherty is too well known
here to need commendation, while
Miss Lola Franz is to the manor
born, and her earnestness as a stu
dent in our school for seven years
is proof that she will DO good work
as a teacher.

CHARGES DISMISSED.
Complications in Which Several Boys
and an Automobile Figured.


Operating a motor vehicle without first
having obtained license was the charge
upon which small boy named George
Richards was arraigned In Judge SCOTS
court this morning. 1t was alleged that
he operated an automobile belonging to
Attorney West last night. The attorney
was on a visit to the Neighborhood Club
in South Washington. at the time the
alleged ofYense was committed. number
OF boys were playing in front of the house
and the machine was moved a distance of
about fifty feet Mr.. West refused to com
plain against the boy for taking away
property without the consent OF its owner
and appeared as hts counsel In the case
filed by Policeman Fletcher. He ques-
toned the boy and learned from him that
the machine was pushed from in front OF
the house. and was not operated.
Mr.. West said he was satisfied the ma
chine could not have been run by the boys
last night because of the contrivances he
had attached to 1t.
"Your homer" the policeman interrupted.
when Mr.. West finishes I would like to
say something"
What Is TT" the court asked.
The officer explained that number of
boys were playing about the automobile
and had he not reached there when he did
one of them might have been killed. He
reerred to the conduct Of the boys as a
crime. but Judge Scott said he could not
indorse that statement.
your adjudication of the case is different

The charge against the boy was dis
missed.

Street Extension Measures.


Mine street-extension measures were
enacted during the last session Of Con-
gress, and legal proceedings are now in
progress to accomplish these extensions.
The Commissioners. while they were in
favor of the extension Of these streets,
recommended in each instance that one
half of the cost should be borne by the
United States. AS the laws were passed
however, the entire cost was charged to
the District of Columbia, one-half being
assessed against the abutting property. the
annual i1stallments.
The Commissioners were authorized by
act of Congress, approved February 49,
1904. to name and rename streets. avenues,
alleys. highways and reservations lying
outside the city Of Washington upon a
system adopted by them This work has
in part been accomplished and will be
completed within the next fiscal year.
Operation Of Street Railways.
Concerning the proposeh legislation CIV
ing the Commissioners authority to regu-
late the operation of street railroads IN
the District. Col. Biddla says:
The Commissioners would again invite
the attention of Congress to the bill intro
duced at their request giving them the au-
thortfy to regulate the operation OF street
railways in the District of Columbia. The
charters or the existing street railway
companies, while placing upon the Com
missioners certain duties, such as the APP
prevail of time schedules, etc, fail to give
them authority to enforce by penalties the
observance by the street railway COM
panies OF the directions of the Commits
sioners. AS conseq4Ehde though the
Commissioners may make such regulations
for the benefit Of the public, they may be
entirely disregarded by ,tle railway COM
panies. Such Is especially the fact in re-
gard to the time operation of cars, and
there is great public demand for a better
service on certain of the suburban lines
which act as feeders for the city lines.
The bill In question was drafted by the
Commissioners with the assistance Of a
committee representing the various citizens
associations of the District Of Columbia,
and is believed to be fair. both to the rail-
way companies and to the public The
Commissioners would earnestly recommend
the passage of the bill during the next
session of Congress-
The 18th street extension of the Anacos-
tia and Potomac River railroad to Lydeck-
er avenue. authorized by act of Congress
approved July 1, 1902, has just been conn
pleted and cars are in operation thereon"
