lSpecial to The Times .Dispat ch.l y

NORFOLK. VA, April ls.--The Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union and
the ministers Of Lambert's Point have

at that place.
They appeared in the county Circuit
Court to-day 10 oppose the granting Of
any more licenses, and particularly
against Leon Hozler whose litigation
was, as "a result, refused. &
The court said that owing ofthe srent
number of foreign ships arriving at
Lambert's Point daily, he considered It
the worst place in the State in which
to authorize the sale Of liquor. ysa
Many ladies OF the w. C.tlT..sU. took
part in tho trial.

CaTeless Conductors.

A street car conductor in Washing

gagged simultaneously as he is the en-
tire length Of his route in collecting
fares. giving out transfers, and watch
ing folks dodge on and off both sides
Of the long lengths of the two open
cars under his care.
II is not, therefore, strange that
there should be instances where con-
ductors fail 10 perform all Of these
simultaneous duties to perfection.
We do not doubt that they do their
best under the conditions, but when
their lapses jeopardize the reasonable
safety of the travelling public. it be-
comes 2 question whether the condi-
tons should exist.
For example, Tuesday noon, at the
corner of Fourteenth Street and New
York Avenue a conductor started his
car just as a woman stepped from IT,.
She was on the left-band side Of the
car, and facing the wrong way as
usual, and another car was approach

from hurt was merely a lucky chance.
Again, Wednesday morning, at the
corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and
Twelfth Street a conductor gave the
two-bell signal to go ahead just as
lame man was stepping from the car.
In this case the carelessness was
seemingly inexcusable, for the man
was on the right side and at the front
of the leading car. The fact that the
motorman saw him at the moment
his hand moved the lever prevented
an accident
If two such cases can happen in two
successive car trips, it is reasonable
to suppose that the aggregate number
of similar cases in the entire city
must be considerable.
