Affair Being Arranged Under Auspices
Of colored Odd Fellows Lodge and

The members of Ottumwa lodge No.
2059, Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows, and the ladies of the Good
Intent club, both organizations of col
ored people, are making the prelim-
mary arrangements for banquet to
be given in honor of Booker T. Wash

Wednesday, June %, under the aus
pices of the Ottumwa Chautauqua as
sociation. 1t is expected that num-
Der Of other prominent persons will
also be in attendance and most sue.
cessful affair is anticipated.
1t has not as yet been determined
where the banquet will be given and
the program will not be arranged until
later. 1t is the intention of the mem
bers of the organizations, however, to
make the affair a fitting one for the
entertainment of the distinguished
colored man, who will be the guest of
the city on that day. Mr.. Washington
is at the head of the Tuskegee Insti-
tute in, Alabama, and his success in
carrying. out plans for the advance
ment of his own race has attracted at
tention all over the world.
Says He VIII Accept
Those having the affair in charge
state that they have no doubt that
Mr.. Washington will accept the invi-
tation to be a guest at the banquet.
The arrangements are being conducted
by W. S. Page and Mrs. Helena
Downey, prominent in the work of the
Afro-American Women's clubs of the
state. A letter has been received
from the noted colored man in which
he states that if the authorities under
whose auspices he lectures have no
objections and his schedule will per-
nit, he will be glad to consider the in
vitation. Mr.. Page states that the
Chautauqua association has no ,objec-
ton, that the schedule will permit, and
so it is believed that there is no doubt
but that Booker Washington will be
the guest of honor at the banquet.

Borough President Ijttleton Appoints COM
mittee 10 Wrrstle With Problem.

Borough President Littleton Of Brooklyn
yesterday appointeda committee Of twenty
five prominent and Influential Brook
lynites to consider the problem Of getting
relief from the intolerable congestion at
the Manhattan end of the bridges. In his
letter to the men appointed President
Littleton writes
To find a way TO avoid the cruel crowding
to people atthe New York end Of the Brook
lyn Bridge has engaged the energy OF men
both in and out Of Office for several years.
A like evil "a growing rapidly on the Will
liamsburg Bridge. IL il not a time nor
occasion for u crusade Of criticism or com
plant. but rather for patient. persistent and
cooperative labor The plans already un
der way by the Bridge Department will
doubtless afford measure of relief, but
am quite convinced that If the Rapid Transit
Commission has the power TO deal with the
increasing traffic from New Jersey it has a
like power to deal with the increasing traffic
from Brooklyn
The point Of our trouble is not Fort
Hamilton nor the Battery. nor Atlantic
Avenue, nor Joralemon street, but il is ex-
actly at the New York end of our bridges.
Two expensive bridges have been built
and third il under way. Why should we
wait for tunnel when these bridges, rightly
used. will give us the relief | have de-
cided to appoint a committee OF twenty
FIVE citizens and ask them 10 meet at my
Office and organize for the purpose Of reso-
utely setting themselves to the task OF
dealing with these acute conditions at the
New York end Of tho bridges
The committee includes DR.. Joseph j.

President Littleton said. 1T will bo the
purpose of the committee to urge upon the
Rapid Transit Commission the construction
Of a loop connection between the two bridges
in Manhattan in order that a continuous
service may be given We have now four
tracks on the Brooklyn Bridge and six on
the Williamabridge Bridge and these are
equivalent 10 five tunnels like the one being

purpose OF insisting on the use Of these
tracks TO their full capacity that this com

SHERIFF USED BL0ODHOUNDs.
Leads 10 the Arrest OF a Man for Attacking
TWO Women in Alexandria.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. 31.--By-she use Of
bloodhounds. Sheriff Palmer Of this county
succeeded early this morning in tracing and
arresting the supposed assailant OF Miss
Esther Peverill and Miss Beulah Ebaugh,
the two young women who we're attacked
near Arlington Junction on Thursday
evening.
The trail led to a small hut near the scene.
Of the assault and the officers arrested a
young white man, who says he is John
Dempsey, the son OF Washington grocer
The young women were unable TO tell In
the darkness whether their assailant was
negro or white man, and to-day. when
brought before Miss Ebaugh, she only
partly identified him on account of his
stature.
Miss Peverill was so badly beaten and in
such nervous condition that the physicians
to-day refused to permit the officers to bring
Dempsey before her. He was placed in the
county Jail until Miss Peverin RECEIVERS
sufficiently 10 stand the ordeal.
Dempsey asserts his innocence, but his
face bears scratches that might have been
made by finger nails. He has been en-
ployed in the brick works near the scene
Of the assault but little is known OF him.

capitalists who hive invested money In an
important stree. railway enterprise, gives
assurance that tho mana cement, in case
the earnings are large, will spend money
Tor the betterment Of the service.
Even the modest return upon capital in
vested to which the Boston elevated COM
pany Ia legally entitled if 1t can make lts
service 10 that degree profitable has never
been fully realized. Since 1893, when the
new road succeeded the old West End Street
Railway the earnings have averaged a little
more than per cent rate of interest
that Is certainly very moderate in the case
OF company operating in a rich, populous
region.
The new East Boston tunnel, like the
subway, is owned by the city was built
10y transit commission composed Of Boston
citizens and is leased TO the Boston Elevated
Railway Company for a term Of twenty
five years. According to the terms Of the
lease the rental is an annual sum equal TO
three-eights of per cent. OF the gross
receipts for each year of all lines owned,
leased or operated by the company.
In addition TO the regular fare each
passenger going In either direction must
pay u toll of / cent, which the company, al
agent for the city. will collect. The cost
of trip to or from Noodle Island is no
greater than 10y ferry as the toll on one Of
the city boats is n cent for each passenger.
The running time Of the cars through the
tunnel will average about six or seven
minutes, a saving TO passengers over the
old method Of from twenty 10 twenty five
minutes.
The tunnel runs from Maverick Square,
East Boston, TO Scollay Square, in the city
proper. Tho length Of the harbor section
Is 2 100 feet and the depth OF earth between
the top OF the tunnel and the harbor bed Is
about 20 feet. The minimum Of earth
over the bore after the harbor has been
dredged TO 40 feet depth will be about 5
feet
The section under the harbor is said by
engineers to be almost perfect the leakage
being only eight gallons a minute whereas
the leakage in the Mersey tunnel in Liver
pool Ia said TO be 5000 gallons a minute.
Tho tunnel is thoroughly ventilated ny
means Of duct that runs through the
upper part of the bore connected with
electric fans.
There are three passenger statiore in
connection with the tunnel-Court street
station with entrances at the old court
house and from the Scollay Square sub
way ststionj the Devonshire street sta
ton at the rear OF the old State House, and
the Atlantic avenue station. The last station,
which Is not completed, will DO equipped
with four large passenger elevators.
Cars leaving the city side gradually
descend a grade Until they reach the harbor
section, where the roadbed is level, Upon
reaching the East Boston side cars shoot
up fairly steep incline to Maverick Square
and thence proceed to Chelsea. Winthrop
Beach, or whatever may be their destina-
lion.
