GIVEN ACCESS TO CITY.
Concession to Electric Railway Before
Baltimore Council,

An ordinance has been introduced into
the Baltimore city council authorizing the
Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington Elec-
trio Railway Company to construct a con-
Meeting link with It's line so as to give
direct access to that city at Baltimore street
and Hopkins place.
1t is said that over 60 per cent of the
grading for the new line has been COM
pleted and work on the remaining portion
will be pushed as soon as the city council
acts. The company has a private right of
way thrty-one miles long between Balti-
more and Washington, and this is said to
be the shortest route between the two cities.
The road. 1t is claimed, will be one OF the
straightest In the country consisting of
twentyseven miles of straight. track. with
only four miles of curves.
1t Is the intention Of the new syndicate to
furnish a high-speed service between Wash
ington and Baltimore, and the cars will
practically travel on railroad time at inter
vais of every fifteen minutes. covering the
distance from the center If Washington to
the center of Baltimore IN sixty minutes
The road will be built with strictly ter
minal service in view and most of the trains
will run on an express schedule. Few local
trains will be operated, the territory not be-
ing thickly settled.
The route of the new Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis eloctrlc railway will
run east of the Pennsylvania railroad be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, and
from Chesapeake Junction to a point within
eight miles of Baltimore will parallel that
railroad. From this point to the city the
new line will run parallel with the Balti-
more and Annapolis short line.
Besides building and operating the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis line the
company will also operate the Washing
ton, Berwyn and Laurel line, which 1t owns.
This line runs from Berwyn to Laurel. At
Berwyn 1t connects with the City and
Suburban railway Of Washington. by which
route ii enters the capital. The gap be-
tween Laurel and Annapolis Junction will
be built.
The company also owns the Annapolis,
Washington and Baltimore railroad, which
is now operated as a steam line. This
road runs from Annapolis Junction, where
1t connects with the Baltimore and Ohio to
Annapolis, crossing the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Odenton.
A syndicate of Cleveland, Toledo and
Akron (Ohio) capitalists, headed by Lam
precht Bros. & Co., F. n. Wilcox and James
Christy, jr., organized the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis early in 1901.
Construction was started but was sus-
pended when the company went into the
hands of receivers July H. 1907. Last jan
uary the syndicate headed by Mr.. Bishop
acquired the property.

"A police officer in the District of CO.
1umbia should always assist the United
States marshal or his deputies when
called upon to do So" This statement is
made by Corporation Counsel Duvall in
an opinion submitted to the Commission
ers today.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the authorities through the re-
fusal of Acting Sergeant o. C. Ryon of
the police department to assist Deputy
Marshal Farmer in making the arrest of
one John c. Baum. Baum was wanted in
civil case, and for this reason Sergeant
Ryon thought he had no right to inter-
fere.
The corporation counsel holds that as
deputy marshal Is an officer of the law.
any citizen is bound to render assistance
If called upon. police officer, according
to the corporation counsel is duty bound
to render assistance to private citizen,
II called upon, and the claim of a deputy
marshal is superior to that of a private
citizen. Mr.. Duvall holds that a deputy
marshal has no right to call upon the
police department when he can get other
deputies to assist, but when emergency
demands a marshal can call upon any
body, and especially a police officer

trouble with certain houses in Van street
southwest. and the Commissioners have re-
quested the corporation counsel to take
some action looking to an abatement of the

which can be swayed to and fro by press
