STREET RAILWAY TRANSFERS.
Universal System Not Approved by
the Commissioners.

The Commissioners are not entirely salts
fed that the bill providing for universal
transfers over the street railway lines in
the District should become law. This in
formation is contained in report forward
ed to Congress today by the Commissioners,
with reference to House bill 17113. In their
report the Commissioners say:
The Commissioners recommended to
Congress the passage of a bill to regulate
the operation of street railways in the Dis
trict of Columbia and for other purposes.
Section of this bill gives the Commission
ers control of the question of transfer ar
rangements between the street railway
companies operating in the District of Co
lumbia The railway companies much
opposed to the passage of the bill to provide
a general system of transfers. They state
that in accordance with their charters gen.
eral laws and present practice they sell
six tickets for % cents and four coupon
transfer arrangements between their lines;
that these furnish all reasonable demands
for transfer arrangements and that law
proposed by this bill would work great
hardship and loss to them.
The Commissioners believe that some
transfer arrangement between the various
railway lines operatin in the District is
desirable, but they are not able without
further investigation and careful consid-
eration-with hearings from interested COM
panies and citiZens-to report at present in
favor of the legislation proposed by the bill
They believe that the passage of the bill to
regulate the operation of street railways
before referred TO will give such authority
q S is necessary under the circumS tanceS."

Eugene Ysaye. the eminent violinist, and
the Washington Symphony Orchestra were
greeted by a splendid audience at Chase's
Theater last evening, which exceeded that
of any Sunday nights concert yet given by
this popular organization Many prominent
in musical and social life were present,
and Miss Roosevelt and her guests at the
White House occupied a box.
Chief interest centered in Ysaye, whose
mastery playing is not unknown to music
lovers. His program last night embraced
MendelSSohn'S Concerto in + Minor, noted
for the violin, by Bruch In all the move
ments the distinguished artist sustained his
reputation as one of the greatest masters of
the violin, and charmed his hearers with
his marvellous playing. Possessing wonder
full technique and temperament, his har-
monies, staccatos and double-stop PLAYING
were simply Irresistible. At the conclusion
Of the Scotch fantasia the applause was so
liberal and emphatic that Ysaye was com
PEELED to play an encore. Combined with
the great artists delicacy of expression
and perfect tone is his magnetic PERSONAL
ity, which contributes SO largely to the
heritage of genius.
The numbers presented by the orchestra
under Mr.. De koven's leadership embrace
an overture. 'Stradella," by Flotow: Suite
No. 2, IL Ariesienne,'' by Bizet and for fha
finale Weber's Invitation to the Dance
arranged for orchestra by Weingaerter The
entire program was given with splendid ef-
feet, and the orchestra was accorded lib
eral applause. The constantly increa sin.
attendance and the marked apprecia ton af
those present are certainly fitting testi
monials to the growing popularity of tbe
organization and substantial recoynitio,, ar
its noticeably improved work.

sion In few happy words to his apprecia-
ton of the ability and hearty interest in

This is an age of consolidation he said.
"and consolidation is but cooperation. 1t

BISHOP MACKAY-sMITH.
breaches at st. Johns p. E. Church
About Crime.

The increase of crime in this country and
the failure in many instances to enforce the
law were dweit upon by Bishop Mackay-
Smith of the Episcopal diocese of Central
Pennsylvania at a mass meeting of Pris-
oners' Aid Department of the Washington
diocese in St Johns Church. 10th and II
streets northwest, yesterday afternoon
Bishop Satterlee made a few remarks intro
ducing the subject.
Bishop Satterlee depIored the fact that
many church members like to go to hos
pitfalls and among the poor. He asked how
they dared to be ignorant of these things
if they have the love of Christ in their
hearts. He called attention to the fact that
Bishop Mackay- Smith was formerly rector
of ST. Johns parish, and had in that ca
pacity done much in the interest of the de-
partment. 1t was unnecessary, he said, to
introduce him to a Washington audience
After saying that nothing seemed to be
checking the increase of crime in this coun-
try, Bishop MacKey Smith said he thought
the people as nation did not have enough
iron in the blood He told of the strength
of the English method of dealing with
crimes and the diregard of law.
There a man might as well kill himself
when he kills his victim said the bishop.
for within month he is sure to be dead.
In this country it is either lack Of regard
for the law or we have become accustomed
to see 1t violated so much we do not pun
ish the crime, and that has caused crime to
increase. We have the finest set of laws TO
punish crime in the world but surely the
statement that crime is increasing cannot
be questioned. well-kaOwn lawyer in
New York once told me for $4,000 he could
get me off without punishment for any
crime in the calendar / might wish to COM
init. If public opinion does not support the
punishment. the only way to remedy af-
fairs is to prevent crime"
The speaker also said that the impress
sion prevails outside of Washington that it
is one of the worst places in the country
place where legislators and Office holders
come for the purposesof making money in
any possible way. This is not true, he de-
clared, and challenged anybody to find a
finer lot of people anywhere else in the ma
ton. Still there are many faults here, he
said, the same as in every other city.
Other speakers We're Judge kimball of the
Police Court, who told something of the
work being done by c. A Massie, the agent
of the Prisoners Aid Department and Col.
Cecil Clay of the Department Of Justice,
president of the board of directors of the
Boys Reform School.

REGARDED AS NOT DECISIVE.
Mr.. Peterson's Views of Recent Test
Under Smoke Law.

Mr.. August Peterson does not believe tina.
the test at the Trurlbuli street pumping
station the other day proves anything here
tofore unknown relative to smoke ennis
sions. In letter to The Commissioners re-
ceived today Mr.. Peterson says:
THE test a the Trumbuil street pumping
station proves nothing except what was
well known before the test was begun
All know that soft coal. when burned, will
emit smoke. Upon the quantity and nuai-
1ty depends the amount of smoke emitted
In this test n common ordinary con-
Structed furnace was used. and as far as
Known, no efforts We're made to avoid the
smoke The coal was shoveled in and the
result was known beforehand. This test
was simply to show how smoke is made
Would it not be desirable to try soft
coal in furnace of modern construction
such as is now in use in many large os-
adjustments in this city. where smoke IS
entirely eliminated? test also with hard
or anthracite coal or coke IN an ordinary
furnace would no doubt prove of value

KEPT UNDER OBSERVATION.
William Corliss Suspected of Being
Mentally Deranged.

William Corliss, an actor, was sent to the
Washington Asylum Hospital Saturday af-
ternoon by Sanitary Officer Frank in order
that the physicians may keep him under
observation and pass upon the question of
his mental condition. The young man was
found in the park in front of the National
Theater Saturday morning. His statement
was that his wife is known as Flora Wiley,
and that she has been connected with the
"Winsome Winnie comic opera company.
Corlss said he left the company at Greens
boro, n. c.. and started to return to New
York. 1t is the belief of the police sur
geons that the mans condition is due to
the use of alcoholic stimulants. His mother,
whose home is at Burlington, VT, has been
notified of his whereabouts. Corliss is a
member of the Colorado Springs Lodge OF
Elks. 1t is thought that he will be able to
leave the hospital in short time.
