to see the superiorities In persons rather
than their inferiorities. and a preference
for the society of his superiors And he
held that he should have generous spirit,

The committee will take up the inquiry in

Chairman Shackleford of the committee
said that the testimony developed that the
railroad and its constituent steamship line
was an exceedingly well-paying piece of
property. 1t has been a dividend payer
from its organization. The evidence was to
the effect that should the steamship line be
abandoned by the government the value of
the property would be very greatly depre-
ciated. The inquiry as to the per cent

vEsTIBULE EQUIPMENT.
Gen. Harries Opposes Legislation for
Reasons Given

In reply to Col. BiddIe's request for an
opinion as to the bill requiring street car
companies to equip their cars with veSti-
bules not later than October 1 next, Gen.
George II. Harries, vice president of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, states that he is not in favor of the
passage of the bill.
General Harries states that as new cars
are purchased or built by his company they
equipped with vestibules. The COM
pany, he says, has been engaged in put
ting vestibules on it's cars for about four
years and that now all suburban cars
operated by the company have vestibules.
1t is also true. he states. that the COM
pany has adopted the vestibule car as the
standard on the line between the Capitol
and Mt. Pleasant and on the III street line,
poets to equip the cars on the 11th street
line with vestibules. The + street, 9th
street and North Capitol street lines will
then be taken up, General Harries says.
and the company expects to retire all of
its old rolling stock by 1908.
There is nothing in our plans" says
General Harries. looking to the putting of
vestibules on cars which are soon to be
succeeded by the standard vehicle So far
as L can see there is necessity for vesti-
bule legislation. for we are steadily carry
ing out the plans We adopted long before
any crusade on that subject had local
existence"
