Fully 100 members of the association
We're present last evening. No other

Railroad Company
Representatives of number of other

North Capitol and lexington Associa-
ton, each OF these visiting delegations
reported on the situation.
T W. Smith, president of the East
Washington Association, indorsed the
retaining of counsel and pledged his
association TO share the expense.
a. F. kinEan, president of the Rrook-
land Association, predicted that as soon
as the present question is called to the
attention Of Congress 1t will result in
legislation requiring all railroads To give
transfers. He claimed that the laws
passed in 1894 and 1895 requiring trans
fefs from all lines had been eyaded.

gress TO enact transfer law.
a. X. SerYen, one OF the counsel re-
tanned for the contest. predicted that
the present agitation would result in
universal transfers. His associate
counsel. J. Alpheus Johnson, predicted
the same result, stating that several
suits had been brought against the
Capital Traction Company under the act
OF 1896, and had been won, though the
company continued To Ignore the law.
The counsel reported that they had
examined the record, including. the pc
tition filed by the minority stockholders
and the answer filed by Allen Nc
Derm0tt, president OF the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and re
ceiver OF the City ard Suburban ROAD.
A rehearing may be granted on the
question before the first of June. 1t

4 new GERM THEORY
Explains Cause of Much of the Sickness in
Washington

Tt is we'll known that everyone swai-
lows countless germs every day. many
of them being positive disease germs
which under right conditions result In
serious sickness.
Dame Nature kills most Of these
germs when they reach the stomach and
digestive organs with the natural juices
seereted by tbs healthy stomach. AS
a usual thing it is only the person with
a weak stomach and poor digestion who
should fear the germs OF disease.
The most recent theory Of scientists
is that the bodily health depends upon
the natural action of the stomach. This
explains why those who use Mi-o-na
tablets are rarely Ill Taken before
each meal, Mi-o-na strengthens the
stomach so that disease germs are either
neutralized or else driven frem the sys-
