LIGHTING HIGHWAY BRIDGE.
Made With Potomac
Electric Power Company.

With the approval of Gen. Mackenzie,
chief of engineers. Col. Leech, the engineer
officer charged with the construction Of the
Potomac River Highway bridge. has made
an arrangement with the Potomac Electric
Power Company of this city for supplying
the electric current for lighting the bridge
and Its approaches, and also for the motors
for operating the draw.
Col. Leech wrote a letter to the chief OF
engineers on the subject calling attention
to the probable completion of the bridge In
September next and the necessity for max
ing immediate provision for electric light
ing and power.
He said that he solicited proposals from
all parties who were in a position to con-
slider the work. based on underground con-
duit lines from the foot of 1ith street to
the Washington end of the bridge, TO pro-
vide suitable cable contained In a con-
duit suspended under the floor OF the bridge
with submarine connections across The draw
opening. to provide suitable ornamental
poles and arc lamps on the Washington ap-
proach and to supply current for the lamps
and the motors for operating the draw.
He said that the present scheme does
not provide for any lighting of the Virginia
approach to the bridge, which was omitted,
he explained, because there appears TO De
no authority to which the custody OF the
lights can be transferred after the bridge
proper has been turned over to the Dis
trict authorities for operation
The only proposition recelVeo LOT oc
service came from the Potomac Electric
Power Company, and in the opinion of Col.
Leech competition in any real sense was
practically impossible. That company pro-
posed to maintain and operate the lights
365 nights in the year from fifteen minutes
after sunset until forty-hye minutes before
sunrise at the rate of $S5 per lamp per year,
and to furnish the current for the motols
to operate the draw at the rate of cents
per kilowatt hour.
These prices and conditions. as to light
ing, Col Leech says. correspond precisely
with the approved District schedule for
lighting.
On the recommendation OF Col. Leech.
Gen. Mackenzie authorized him to enter
into an arrangement with the Potomac
Electric Power Company for the service at
the rates stated. with the understanding,
however, that the army engineer depart
ment Is not committed to the arrangement
beyond the time when the bridge Is turned
over to the District government for opera
ton.

Questions In Won Rooues Suit.

torney W. Mosby> Williams that he Is not
obliged to answer certain questions pro-
pounded to him in the suit Of Baroness Won
Roques. mother of Mrs. Maybrick, against

real estate in Virginia.
Counsel for Mr.. Armstrong had sum-
moned Mr.. Williams as a witness before
an examiner in chancery who was holding
a hearing In the under an order OF
the chancery court of Richmond. Va. There
he was asked concerning his possession of
certain letters and of an alleged contract
which We're suspected to be inimical to the
interest of the Baroness Won Roqies. At
tOrney Williams refused to answer the
questions. relying on the position that
whatever he had in his possession or what
ever he knew was obtained in confidence
from client, and such communication was
privileged. -

Of that order flied by the presidents OF nVe
local citizens associations.
In deciding the right of intervenor today

as far as the public was concerned might
submit to the court a proposition looking
to an equitable arrangement for division
Of the cash fares received from passen-
gers who after q short haul were trans

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company, the court said. was unwilling 10
make any such proposition 10 the court. and
as the company was mo- party TO The
cause the court was unable 10 pass an or
der which would be binding on the com
pany.
The second reason for the suspension
of the order, the count suggested, was
to enable the court to decide as 10 Tue

of the signers of the petition are share
holders of the City and Suburban Com
pany, and as such are clearly Interested
both in the object and the subject matter
of the suit, and consequently have the
right to intervene and be heard.
The public may be eQutabiy accorded the
right to intervene the Justice declared,
because of the claim OF counsel that, under
the law the public Is entitled to free trans
fers among all intersecting roads.
Without Interpreting the statutes under
which the claim Is made the court decided
to hear the petition and announced that he
would sign an order suspending until
further order OF the court the abolition

Attorney Leon Tobriner desired the court
to set a day certain for the new order Of
suspension, claiming that a delay would be
inimical to the interests Of the minority
stockholders. To this Attorney A. r. Serven
representing the patrons OF the road. an
swered that 1t was his desire for an early
hearing. and 1t is probable that the case
will be taken up Tuesday next.
Receiver McDermott could be directed by

compel the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company and the Anacostia and Poto-
mac River Company to make the cash divi-
sion arrangement suggested by Justice An

Efforts for peace

1T Is learned from an authoritative
source that the unanimous efforts Of the

that they hope to succeed shortly"
Information reaching here gives decided
ly more hopeful view to the peace outlook
This is particularly true concerning the
unity OF the foreign pressure which Is be-
ing exertad. Although 1t is not yet evident
that Russia will yield to these influences,
the exchanges in which Berlin is taking an
important part are considered likely to ex-
ert strong tendency toward the initiation
of peace negotiations
1t Is the understanding that Germany and
the United States are now taking the FORE
most part In the efforts toward peace, with
the other powers lending them strong moral
support.
