land said, however, that while the snow
could be removed by means of the sled or
pillow, the ice, which is far more dangerous
than the snow, cannot be removed by such
means.
In Montreal the citizens either remove
the ice or sprinkle ashes, sand or sawdust
over the ice after the snow has been re-
moved by the city. Mr. Mcfarland be-
lieves such procedure might be followed
here. He said he favors the proposition to
assess a yearly tax against property 'front.'

to but a small item to- each property owner
each year, and it could be used for keeping
the sidewalks free from snow.
Commissioner West was detained at his
home today with a severe cold. He said
over the telephone in reply to the inquiries
of the reporter that he desires to more
fully consider the assessment proposition
for remedying the conditions now existing

West for action.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Paper by Miss Dyer on Beginnings of
Public Libraries.

The eighty-third regular meeting of the
District of Columbia Library Association
was held last evening in the lecture hall OF
the Washington Public Library, preceded
by meeting of the executive committee.
The committee was called to order by the
president, and routine matters were dis
cussed.
Miss Margaret c. Dyer of the library of
the National Museum read paper entitled
1.-The Beginnings of Public Libraries Sup
ported by Taxation" In which she brought
to light the controversy relative to the first
public library supported by taxation. Amer
lea seems to have the honor of first sup
porting a public library, but the claim ia
disputed by Mr.. b. l.. Dyer of the Library
of Cape Colony, Africa, in a recent address
before the South African Association for
the Advancement of Science Mr.. Dyer
claims this credit for his own library which,
he states, was wounded in the year 1913.
Miss Dyer, however, set forth in her pa
per the statement of Mr.. Fletcher and Mr..
Dewey authorities on the subject, which
declared that the first library supported by
taxation was established at Petersboro',

FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT
Railway Legislation Claimed to Be
Democratic Doctrine.

In the House of Representatives yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Pou On. c. said that
while not questioning the sincerity of the
President, he was of a party that belonged
body and soul to the trusts, and that any
legislation which popular clamor forced
would be the mildest and least hurtful to
the railroads that republican ingenuity
could possibly evolve.
Mr.. James (ky) accused the President Of
taking the platform of the democratic
party, that bears the bloody stain of Bry-
ans faithful heel" and holding ii up to the
people of the country He cared not how
much it was said the democrats were fol-
lowing the President. He knew that the
soldiers of the United States followed the
, President CALAMITY at San Juan HILL but"
he added mo more. sir, than the democ-
racy will follow him when he charges the
Harrimans, the Vanderbilts, the Cassatts
and the Hills in this country of wealth"
The democrats appIauded Mr.. Heflin
(Ala) when he said that William Jennings
Bryan. the Daniel of democracy, has advo-
Gated the present legislation before the peo-
Mr.. Vreeland IN ", who voted against
his party on the adoption of the rule to
take up the rate question, opposed the pend
ing legislation on the ground that it was
socialism and not republican doctrine.
His utterance was vigorously controverted
by Mr.. Kyle (Ohio), who said that the re-
publican party had heard and needed the
cry of the people for rate legislation.
Mr.. Gaines CTenn.), who was the sole
democrat who voted with the republicans
on the adoption of the rule, said he did so
because he found them right on the ques-
ton, even though they gritted their teeth
after having been legged on" by the Presi-
dent, who had applied the cato -nine-tails
to their backs.
During the debate the following members
spoke in favor of rate legislation: Messrs
Padgett CTenn), Cochran MOI Burke IS

TRANSFER PROBABLE
REMOVAL OF THOMPSON STEEL
BRIDGE TO q STREET.
Commissioners Have Proposal Under
Consideration-Report of Engineer
Douglass-Estimate of Cost.

It is regarded as probable that the Dis
trict Commissioners will recommend the
removal of the John w. Thompson steel
bridge across Rock creek, located near the
new Massachusetts, avenue bridge, and its
transfer to Q street, SO as to afford direct
communication between the northern parts
of Georgetown and Washington. If re-
moved, the bridge will likely be strength
ened at an expenditure of several thou
sand dollars, and its use will be restricted
to light vehicles and to pedestrians.
Commissioners mcfarland and West to-
day both stated that they are willing to
recommend to Congress an appropriation
of $4,000 for the purpose of procuring a
suitable bridge at Q street for the accom-
mediation of the citizens of Georgetown
and Washington. Engineer Commissioner
Biddle declined to express his opinion on
the matter and said he desired to further
consider the proposition to remove the
Thompson bridge.

SCHEME DEEMED FRAUDULENT.
The Kentucky Distributing Company
Barred From the Mails.

Kentucky now claims the distinction, not
only of possessing the most beautiful wo-
men. the fastest horses and the finest
whisky but the most wonderful hunting
dogs in all the world. AT least, that Is the
claim made by one of the citizens OF the
blue grass state, II. Clay by name and
alleged to be the proprietor of the Ken

Mr.. Clay, or Crigler & Crigler, all of Gov

factors in the Kentucky Distributing Com
pany. sent circulars through the mails to
the effect that for the trifing sum of 81. so
they would send to the remitter four full
quarts of ten-year-old Kentucky whisky
and one full quart of fifteen-year- old

explained that they were enabled to thus
become the benefactors of mankind through
the wonderful virtues of a hunting dog s
nose. This dog, they explained, had, while
searching for game. followed up trail left
by certain moonshiner dead years before.
The trail led to an Illicit still and therein
was found many barrels of fifteen-year-old

USE OF AUTOMATIC CoUPLERs.
Instructions Issued to Enforce the
Act,

Attorney General Moody has issued let
ter of Instructions to, all United States at
torneys, requiring a strict enforcement of
the safety-appliance laws enacted for the
promotion of the safety of the travelling
public, as we'll as for the protection of rail-
way employees.
In this letter the Attorney General cites
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States in Johnson against the
Southern Pacific Company, involving the
construction of the ..automatic car coupler
act" and calls attention to the rulings of
the court that locomotives are comprised
within the term ANY car" as used in the
act: that the act forbids the use of cars
which cannot be coupled together auto
matically by impact, the object being to
obviate the necessity of men going between
the end of cars to couple or uncouple them,
and that the act applies to. cars used in
interstate commerce, whether empty or
loaded. The Attorney General adds:
'It does not appear that any question can
now arise as to the proper Interpretation of
the law since this decision apparently set
ties every disputed point
1.-The government is determined upon a
strict enforcement of these statues which
were enacted for the promotion of the
safety of the travelling public in general as
we'll as for the protection of railway en-
ployes. Therefore, any case of viola ton
interstate commerce commission or its in
spectors or by other parties must be
promptly and carefully investigated and
suit for the statutory penalty be instituted
and earnestly pressed, If, in your judy
ment, the facts justify that course"

present location and re-erecting 1t across
Rock creek at Q street has been submitted
to the Commissioners by w. j. Douglass,

Estimated Cost.
Engineer Douglass estimates that the
total cost of dsmantlng and re-erecting
the bridge will be $4,000, The bridge,
however, will have to be strengthened he
says, at an additional cost, and its use will
have to be restricted to light traffic. In his
report Mr.. Douglass says:
'"The floor beams of the bridge will per-
NIT of q concentrated load of six tons on
two axles, ten-foot centers, and a distrib-
uted live load of fifty pounds per square
foot. If this bridge is rebuilt on the line
of Q street, as suggested, 1t will be sub
jected to heavy travel for which it was not
designed. The erection of a bridge of this
class should not be permitted outside of a
thinly settled country district. If the bridge
IS wanted for light vehicles only, it will be
necessary to station bridge-keepers on the
same both day and night which will add to
the cost of maintenance about 81, 800 per
year"
Mr. Douglass estimated the cost of dis
mantling, hauling and re-erecting the bridge
at 81 300; tearing up and replacing the
