Anxious-You say you are afaid to go into company on account of blushing. There Is no way in the world to over come bashfulness unless you mingle with people.

NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR SUNDAY LABOR
Commissioners Get From
Under Reflections.
DID NOT MAKE CONTRACTS
War Department and Railway Arrang-
ed For Construction of Filtration
Plant and Union Station.

District Commissioner Macfarland Of
fcially denies that the District Com
missioners are responsible for the work
that is done on Sundays on the new
Union Station and the filtration plant.
The denial is called forth by a COM
munication received by the Commits
sioners from the Woman's Home and
Foreign Missionary Society OF the Forest
Glen Presbyterian Church last Satur-
day, protesting against Sunday labor
allowed at the two places mentioned.
The letter from the society contained
the following.
I'VE therefore petition the Board Of
Commissioners TO make every effort 10
induce the contractors to cease all work
on the Sabbath; also. that In future all
contracts for municipal work contain
a clause requiring the cessation of all
work on Improvements on the Lord s
Day.
IF this society can cooperate with
the board in any way. it will be only
too happy 10 do So
In speaking OF the matter today Mr.
mcfarland said:
There Is an evident misrepresentation
az TO the responsibility for work which
Is done an Sunday upOn two OF the
extraordinary improvements now going
on IN the District of Columbia These
improvements are the railway terminal
and the filtration plant The Commits
sione-s of the District OF Columbia cid
not make the contract for the work on
either improvements and have no control
over the contracts or the contractors.
There Is no law prohibiting Sunday
work Of the character said to be going
on upon these Two improvements, so that
there IS no ground for action by the
Commissioners. II is well known that
there is no Sunday law in the District
OF Columbia except the statutes closing
the saloons and the barber shops and
preventing theatrical representation"

One Change Made.
A BETTER LAW Is NEEDED
Commissioners Helpless to Enforce
Regulations, and Companies Do
as They Please.

a declaration by James 3. Lackey, at
torney for the Washington Railway and
Electric Company that the schedule OF
cars and the general transportation SER
vice afforded the public along the Ten
leytown Street Railway line is gradually
being bettered, and his denial that his
company had received a letter from En-
gineer Commissioner Biddle asking what
improvements had been made in the SER
vice, are the latest developments from
the hearing granted on this subject to
the patrons Of the road by the District
Commissioners.
The first and only improvement made
by the street railway. according TO Mr.
Lackey, is a remedying of the objection
that the cars left Georgetown at twenty
minutes past and twenty minutes before
the hour during the quiet part of the
day Hereafter the cars will leave the
Georgetown terminus fifteen minutes be-
fore and fifteen minutes after the hour.

Macfarland's Views.

District Commissioner mcfarland. in
speaking Of the regulation of the street
car schedules by the Commissioners,
said yesterday:
while the street railway companies
admit that il IS the law and rule that
their schedules be approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners befo-e being put
into effect, the thing amounts TO moth
Ing after all. save in moral suasion. The
reason for this is that the law has no
penalty clause to punish the railroads
for not having satisfactory schedules
If we approve them. all right; and If We
don't, all right
1--WE are now asking for the legisla-
ton We have sought for the past three
years, giving the Commissioners the
power 10 make out the schedules 50
that they viii meet the public con-
Venience. In this legislation we want a
clause 10 the effect that We can prose-
cute the roads that fail to come up TO
the requirements. We are in hopes that
the legislation Will finally be granted"
So far the Commissioners have not
approved the schedule put into effect on
the Tenleytown road as a result OF the
hearing given that roads patrons, as the
company has not answered Colonel Bid
dies inquiry as TO what improvements
had been made in the service.
The Protests Many.

Zens appeared with a request for better
transportation facilities on January is.

brought o protest against the company
before the Commissioners.
II Is understood that the only way TO
reach the railroad companies who do
not afford suitable transportation ar
rangements TO the public is TO bring ac-
ton against them IN Congress and have
their charters revoked. The Commits
sioners have never considered such q
proposition.
