PROPOSED AUTO LINE.
Gen. Harries Explains Request of
Washington Railway and Electric Co.

Engineer Commissioner Biddle TODAY re-
ceived a communication from Gen. George
II. Harries, vice president of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company, in
which the latter explains the reasons which
actuated the company in asking Congress
for franchise to operate automobile lines
in the District. The letter is in response to
request from Colonel Biddle for a state
ment relative to House bill No 1859, which
was referred to the Commissioners for re-
port.
In his statement General Harries saws:
our immediate purpose is to operate a
cross-town line from the vicinity of the
connection of New York avenue and p
street northeast, along p street to Dupont
Circle, returning by the same route and
the operation also of a line from 18th and
G streets southeast up 18th street and Mary
land avenue to the vicinity of 18th and H
streets northeast, returning by the same
route.
No other route has yet been definitely
outlined, but others may from time to time
develop and as they may the company
would organize and develop them.
so far as / am aware only one objection
has developed with reference to the BILL
and that was your own touching the
breadth of the measure with reference to
the streets to be occupied. InaSmuch as
wheeled vehicles may occupy any of the
streets, avenues, alleys or highways of the
District of Columbia, and remembering that
no individual or corporation is going to the
expense of organizing and equipping line
unless there is a public demand for it, there
Is, in my opinion, no ground for apprehen-
sion as to street occupation; as a matter of
fact there is no occupation of street more
than is common to milk wagons or grocery
wagons or express wagons or anything else
operated by those engaged in business in the
city.
I'VE expect the vehicles will have to be
commercially practicable, and will, there
fore, be much smaller and lighter than
many now running on the streets of WASH
ington We expect ours to have seating ca
pacity for about twenty-four people and to
be operated by an electric storage battery
THE measure is not viewed by us as in
any sense profitable proposition, but is re-
garded as in the public interest and as being
an excellent and altogether unobjectionable
method for. the measurement and develop
ment of traffic along streets where railroad
construction is not now practicable"

MISSOURI BIER LAW.
U. :. Supreme Court Holds that
1t is Valid.

Washington April 1.-THE SUI
preme court OF the United States today
affirmed the decision Of the circuit
court for the Western district of Mis-
souri, iu the case of Pabst VS. Crenshaw,
attacking the validity Of the beer in
apection law OF the state of Missouri
The effect of this decision Is TO sus-
tain the law as not antagonlstic to the
commence clause Of the Constitution
The opinion was delivered by Justice
White. The chief justice and Justices
Brewer Brown and Day united i'm "a

liquors shipped from other states. The
law was attacked as repuguant to the
interstate provision OF the national
Constitution but Justice White said.
AS the supreme court OF Missouri
has determined that the statute does
not conflict with the state constitution
and is valid because II Is a police reg

conceded the state had the power 10

means Of a writ Of habeas corpus,which
was denied by the circuit court OF the
United States for the Southern district
OF New York.
There were three points raised In the
case, as follows.
/. That the indictment charges no
crime against the United states
g. That the District Of Columbia Is
not district OF the United states WITH
in the meaning OF the law.
g. That the crime was committed IN
California. and is only triable there
An these points were oNerruled Com

ut may be said that any construction
Of the law which would preclude the

struotion,"

loan, reported to have just been issued.
