RAILROADS ARE SORE
Stop Building in Wisconsin if the
Legislature Insists on Heap
ing Burdens Upon Them
KENOSHA COUNTY AFFECTED.

The railroads are up in arms against
Wisconsin and Governor LaFo1lette's
anti-railroad legislation. They have
decided to stop all extensions and
new work in the state until the 1egis-
1ature becomes more friendly.
This decision will stop, it is stated,
fully $1O,000,O00 worth Of improve
ments which the Nor thwestern and ST.
Paul roads had proposed making dur
ing 1905. The Northwestern especial
1y had planned several hundred miles
of extensions in the state, including
the Sheboygan, Green Bay and
Northwestern road, and upon all Of
these President Hughitt has ordered
work and preparation Of plans stop
ped.
stated, to terminal improvements and
the provision Of facilities for ship
pers other than are actually necessary.
One of the projected extensions of
the North Western that have been
deferred have been matters Of com
mon railroad knowledge for some
time. Before the nkase stopping
work was sent out the managers of
the company had decided to build a
road FROM Lake Bluff to Milwaukee,
a distance of fifty miles, at probable
cost Of $1,000, 600. AT Madison no lull
III the anti-railroad agitation seems in
sight, and the only effect of the edict
so far has been to arouse indignation
among the legislators.

Peculiar Turn Of the Political Canvass
in Chicago.

CHICAGO March 8-The Tribune today
says: For 1he first time in the history of
Chicago the values of a large amount of
outstanding stocks and bonds have become
dependent ON the result of municipal cleo
ton.
The question interesting the holders of Sc
curities amounting to over sos. 900, 900 is:
What is to be the price paid by the city
for the street railway properties in the
event of municipal ownership
John Maynard Harlan, republican. and
Judge Edward F. Dunno, democrat the OPP
posing candidates for mayor, have been
asked the question.
Judge Dunno said he would pay the value
of the tangible property and existing fran
chises on q valuation to be agreed on by
arbitration If possible. If not. then con-
demnation proceedings would be necessary.
Mr.. Harlan replied that If the existing
interests would not settle with the city on
the city's terms then 1t would be war, with
the city buying nothing from the companies,
but proceeding Independently Of them.
The value of the S105, 00O, 600 and over out
standing traction stocks and bonds depends,
In the event of municipal ownership, on the
price to be paid by the city. Neither can
didate for mayor has announced what he
thought ought to be the consideration over

RAILROAD GRADE SWITCH.
Col. Biddle Makes Suggestion for
Elimination.

Col Biddle, Engineer Commissioner, with
the approval Of the other two District Com
missioners today suggested plan for the
elimination Of the railroad grade switch of
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton Company. which extends from 9Th
street southeast across K and L streets,
down 9th street and across M street into
the navy yard. Col. Biddle suggests two
substitute plans for switch from the rail-
road into the navy yard and his PROPOSE
tons have been forwarded to Secretary
Morton Of the Navy Department for con-
sideration.
The union station act OF February. 1901.
provides for the elimination Of all grade
crossings in the city limits, and requires
the removal OF all tracks crossing the
streets. The switch entering the navy
yard, 1t is stated, under that act of Con-
gress, will have to be removed within about
three years. AT the last session of Con-
81 ess the bill providing for the establish
ment of a District storage yard in South
Washington also provided for the retention
Of the navy yard grade switch. This bill
was not favorably reported by either the
House orIthe Senate, and this is taken to
mean that Congress intends that the navy
yard grade switch shall be removed.
In his letter to Secretary Morton Col.
Biddle says that there are two ways in
which the navy yard can be entered with
switch. and the way which is preferable
from the Districts point of view would be
to build switch, starting at about the
Pennsylvania avenue bridge. along the
river front, under the new Anacostia bridge
and thence into the navy yard. The switch
by this plan would probably be built for
the most part on a trestle along the bulk
head lines. Col. Biddle mentions that by
this route grade crossings would be entire
ly obviated, and, besides. tracks would be
provided along the river front, which would
be advantageous for commercial purposes
although it is understood not entirely con-
account of the buildings IN the yard. The
Commissioners, however, ask Secretary
Morton to give the plan careful considera-
ton on account Of its great advantage to
the District
The other method suggested by Col. Bid
die would be to carry the switch from the
west over private property into the western
end of the navy yard, and obviate the grade
crossings either by raising or lowering the
tracks, so that the streets could be carrie cd
under or over the tracks. On account of
the low and fiat ground in this vicinity,
however, the Commissioners believe this
plan would involve difficulties.
In order to accomplish any of the plans
legislation from Congress will be necessary
The Commissioners state that they desire
the Navy Department, the railroad COM
pany and the District authorities to come
to some satisfactory arrangement which
may be presented to Congress at its next
session.

Favors Mr.. Gassenheimer.

In the case of Samuel Gassenheimer, plain
tiff in error, against the District of Column
bia the judgment was reversed, with costs,
by the Courtiof Appeals today and cause re-
manded with direction to discharge the de-
PENDANT: opinion by Mr.. Justice Dueh.
Mr.. Gassenheinier was found guilty by
the Police Court on an information against
him charging him with unnecessarily OBJ
structing the free passageway of a street,
and hindering and delaying traffic thereon,
by allowing an automobile to remain on the
street in front of the Hotel Lawrence for a
period Of two hours.
Exceptions were taken to the ruling Of the
Police Court on matters of law. and, the
writ of error having been granted, the
Court of Appeals was called upon to review
the Judgment. Without passing upon the
right Of a stableman to keep his vehicles
standing in front of his Office ready for
hire. the Court Of Appeals reversed the
Judgment Of the Police Court for the rea-
son that the record fails to show any vio-

nearly always at the suggestion of the Pres

TRYING TO CATCH THE BRUTUS.
The Collier Needed to Take Coal From
the Disabled Maine.

The Navy Department is endeavoring to
intercept the collier Brutus, which left Sim
gapore several days ago for the United
States by way of the Suez canal with a
view to sending her to the relief of the char
tered collier Maine, reported to be disabled
at Durham, Natal. The Maine carried
cargo of 1900 tons of coal from American
ports, destined to the naval station at Ca
vite and the department desires to save as
much of her cargo as possible. Cablegrams
have been sent to Captain Hendricks of the
Brutus in care of the censuls at Colombo.
Alden and Suez, directing him to proceed
with the Brutus to Durham, where he will
take on all the coal he can carry and return
with it to Cavite, selling the remainder of
the coal at the best rates he can get. The
Brutus has capacity of $500 tons.
