Proposed postponement.

The Commissioners, on this ground,
recommended that the bill be amended
SO as to require all cars purchased or
built by the street car companies after
a certain date to be so constructed that
half vestibules could be placed on them
during December, January, February,
and March. They considered the half
Vestibule all the weather required and
more convenient to the public, as there
are no doors to be opened or closed IN
such q yestibule.
Commissioners mcfarland and Ross
and Engineer Commissioner Beach
formed the District board at the time OF
this report.

Story of the Crime
For Which He Suffers

The crime for which Shaffer was
hanged today was one OF the most
brutal ever called TO the attention Of the
police.
Saturday evening August %. 1903,
Shafer hid himself near Wan Lees
Chinese laundry at the southwest corner
OF Fourth street and Massachusetts
avenue northwest, and waited for his
wife 20 pass him. For several nights he
had been lurking in the shadow of her
home, but did not see her. That he was
not armed prior 10 the night of com
uniting the crime, but merely wanted
70 see her and have q chat. seems 10
have been esta blished as fact. The
night was hot and everyone who could
possibly get out of doors did so.
Shortly after o clock Mrs. Shaffer left
her home, in the vicinity of the scene Of
the enactment Of the tragedy, and start
ed TO visit a friend. AS she passed
along Fourth street and neared the
laundry, ShafTer stepped out beside her
and said to her:
This makes IL even, Kate.

calling his attention to the plan of that

Senator MOrgan's Vitality.

One Of the. most wonderful men IN
the United States senate IS John T.
Morgan, of Alabama. He is 81 years
old, and two years from this time he
will complete thirty years continuous
service in the senate. During the
recent short session he spoke for more
than four hours for two successive
days. The physical effort of speaking
for four hours on one day is more than
many senator's care to attempt. On
every foreign subject he knows all
there is to know and has the knowledge
at command without reference books
or documents. No other man knows
so much about the isthmian canal.
Once someone asked how long he
could really talk. at depends upon
the subject, he replied. "If it we're
a matter that 1 thoroughly understand
/ could talk for two or three days; If it
we're a matter l knew nothing about
could talk for two or three weeks, *.
