The Wool Waists Must GO

Notwithstanding these objections ii was
proved to be perfectly practicable. and the
cars on one line, rather part of one
line, now run with glass fronts giving the
motormen fairly good protection against
the cold On by far the greater part of the
electric lines, however. the motormen are
still entirely unprotected. During the Sc
we're weather they have been exposed to
the cold, the wind. the snow and the sieet,
and l have seen many OF them on such oc-
casions evidently suffering severely.
/ hope The Star, with its accustomed zeal
in behalf of all good causes. will continue
now and then to say good word for these
public servants who are in a position whsre
they cannot speak for themselves.
If neither humanity nor public opinion
moves the street railway companies to in
troduce this needed reform, Congress should
act and compel them to do so. No bill for
the charter of any new electric company, or
for the grant of additional privileges TO the
old ones should be allowed to pass Con-
gress without the insertion of a general pro-
vision requiring all electric cars running in
winter to protect the motormen by glass
fronts similar to those now in use on one
line. GEORGE A. KING.

EACH HEAVILY FINED,
Thurman Mitchell and William Griffin
Convicted of Assault.

Thurman Mitchell. colored. pleaded guilty
when he was arraigned in the United
States branch of the Police Court this
morning on a charge of having made as
sault and battery on Alberta Reynold, col
ored Alberta, who appeared in court with
her face wrapped in bandages, Informed
Judge Scott that Mitchell was responsible
for her appearance, he having knocked her
down with such force last night as to break
her jaw. Although Mitchell admitted the
charge when he was arraigned. he declared
later that he did not break Alberta's jaw.
but that she was injured by falling down
and striking her head against a bed post. =
Judge Scott, however thought differently
and levied a tax of 800 on Mitchell. giving
him the alternative of spending the next
364 days in Jail in default of payment.
William Griffin and Rosie Harris, col0red
residents of South Washington, were also
the principals in court in another matter,
the former in the role of defendant and
Rosie as chief witness. The couple prior
to last night, when they had disagree
ment had been warm friends. but their
acquaintance terminated when William re-
lieyed Rosie of 81 and in addition gave
her a severe beating. William denied that
he had made an attack on Rosie but her
appearance indicated that she had been
roughly handled, and Judge Scott decided
that fine of 800. with 24O days in Jail as
the equivalent, was the proper punishment
for the assault, and imposed an additional
penalty of $50. with Imprisonment for 10
days in default, for the theft of the money.

Madison avenue and the latter said she
lived at No. West Lafayette street. fhey
are charged with procuring goods from 10
cal merchants under false pretensts FRIENDS
were sent for and Attorney Campbell Car
rington was employed TO look after their
case.
Their arrest was brought about by Mr..
j. s. Tophan. at whose store, 12l9 + street
northwest, they ordered grip, pocket book
and leather goous and directed that the
bill be sent to Col. Pendleton" at the Met

arrested and taken to Capt. BoaroHan
office.
Admit the Charge.
The prisoners admitted what they mad
done, and did not seem to imagine they
had done any great wrong. While they
were at Atlantic City, they said, they mad
seen or heard the name of Mr.. Pendteton.
According to the detectives statement
when the women started out on their shop
ping tour they went to Woodward & Lo-
throp's and ordered shirt waists and I'M

At police headquarters the detectives re-
lieved the women of the jewelry and other
articles they had received from the differ
ent stores Each was wearing a bracelet,
and Mrs. Owens was wearing the SlS nat
she had obtained from Miss Hunt. Her
old hat had been left at the milliner'S to be
sent to the hotel. When Detectives Trumbo
and Lacey entered the detective Office with
the box containing the old hat Mrs. Owens
left her seat and handed over the new one

needs. He strongly advocated legislation
now before Congress desig to mere use
the efficiency of the corps of aplains IN
the army, and favored placing the chap
lains who belong to the Episcopal churcn
under the jurisdiction of the bishop OF
Washington.
Chaplain Herbert Shpman of West
Point discussed Religious Work at West
Point" He spoke enthusiastically of the
corps of cadets as an exceptionally fine
body of young men. Religious conditions
were, he said, very favorable at this time.
Practically all the men belong to the
Young Mems Christian Association at the
Point. and about 2e0 attend the Bible class
es He mentioned the traditions of the
corps, in regard to courage, truth ana
honor, as being a splendid foundation on
which to build Christian character. These
ideas, he said, have been handed down
from class to class for a hundred years,
and are today stronger than ever.
At the conclusion of the addresses the
speakers were given rising vote OF
thanks. The meeting then adjourned and
refreshments were served, and the MEM
bers were given an opportunity to greet
each other and to interchange ideas touch
ing the duties and privileges of the league.

The Skaters.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me to say few words in behalf of
the skaters of Washington. 1t seems re-
markable that this so-called tidal basin
should become 50 dangerous all at once.
Thousands of people have skated there each
winter for many years, whenever there was
ice sufficiently thick, and skaters have even
used this so-caled dangerous basin when
the ice was only one and half inches thick,
and no one was drowned The former board
of Commissioners gave the skaters little
attention. Boats were stopped from run
ming through this basin in order that the
ice might not be disturbed during the win
ter season. Boards for life-savers were pro-
yided. and gangsways for getting and
off the ice were built, and when the ice was
unsafe for skating the people were kept off
by the officer who was stationed there His
orders were obeyed by every skater. In
those years ii was far more dangerous on
the basin than at present for strong cur
rent rushed through the center of the basin
which was therefore a little unsafe, that
being the last place to freeze over. The
basin may be considered 40 per cent safer
now than at any time in the past, this cur
rent having been shut off by means of a
flood gate between the two basins. There is
no sewer emptyiDg into it, has been
stated. With two bridges eight feet wide
descending from the stone wall some fifty
feet out. thereby landing the skater on solid
Ice. the most serious danger that exists at
the basin would be avoided. Ice six inches
thick was broken up to prevent skating
short time ago. and the water froze to
twelve and thirteen inches thick since Yet
with all these improvements over the past
the Commissioners contend that the ice in
the tidal basin is not safe. Nothing is said
about the danger that exists in the Eastern
branch and the Potomac river to which
skaters were driven when the ice was
broken up on the tidal basin. Young Cole
man was drowned on the 18th at a spot
and near the Potomac bank where skaters
never skated before. Would he or any
other skater have had occasion to seek ice
elsewhere had the twelve inches of ice that
was on the basin at that time been pre-
served? am persuaded not. He like hum
dreds of others. was seeking ice to skate on
Let us hope that the Commissioners will
take warning and give the many thousand
skaters OF Washington some considera ton
Let the tidal basin be used when the ice is
thick enough: have one or two officers there
during skating seasons for order and protec-
ton, and. as some one has suggested flag
the dangerous places. IL there should be
any, with few ifesaying boards scatter
ed around near the walls, and IL need be
some rough portable steps could be used
from the walls to get on and off the ice
All of this would cost not over S25 and
would afford thousands of people safe and
healthful sport and pleasure. The amount
of expenditure is small compared to the loss
OF one life. CHASE ROYS.

The Motormen in Winter.
Itor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that the cold weather is over the
motormen on the cars have a very happy
relief During the cold spells of the pres
emit winter they have suffered more than
usual, as those spells have this winter been
unusually severe and prolonged. The win
ter is hardly half over and we are quite
likely to have good deal of cold weather
yet Several years ago there was great
deal of agitation in favor of having glass
fronts to the cars. and the objection was
urged on behalf of the car companies that
IL was impracticable; that the glass would
so cover over with frost that the motormen
would be unable to see ahead of them. etc.
