A CHASTITY JOKE.
Medical Students Drop Human Foot in
an Alley.

The finding and subsequent disappearance
of the left foot of woman furnished a
mystery for the police of the first precinct
to unravel last night. Shortly before dark
some children found the foot in the alley
in rear of 1914 1 street northwest and told
Bicycle Policeman Connors of its presence
there. The policeman went to the alley.
saw the foot and then went to the patrol
box and telephoned to the morgue few
minutes later the morgue wagon appeared
upon the scene and the superintendent of
the morgue went to get the foot Much to
MS surprise, as Well as to that of the bicy-
Gle policeman, the human foot had disap-
peared The policeman was told that a
young man had been seen to pick UP the
foot and carry it away. 1t is stated that
several medical students live In the vicin-
ity OF the place where the foot was found
and IT is believed one of them dropped the
foot in the alley and afterward picked it
up and took it away to prevent excitement
Ia the neighborhood. 1t is said that il is
against the rules of the medical colleges
for students TO carry away parts of bodies
although the rules are frequently violated

Prank of Two Bows.

Two boys furnished excitement in the
vicinity of a3d and NJ streets last night
about $50 O'Clock, and one of them. Harry
Bauman. thirteen years old, was taken 10

told the police that companion named
Clinton Walker held him and put some
liquid in his mouth that caused a burning

called for assistance and was taken to the
hospital. The physicians at the hospital

Decline Ten-Year Contract.

Subsequently 1t was communicated 10
this company through the regents solicitor
that they could not grant a ten years con-
tract, for which reason this company was
unable to see it's way clear to submit to a
reduction OF rates. because it would not ne
able to shape its policy in order to live up
to the terms of the contract without havina,
a long lease.
1T was made plain to your committee
that in case the rate was reduced TO 80
cents rate war would be precipitated be-
tween the steamboat company and the rail-
road company, and that in order TO be in a
position to meet that condition If il should
arise the steamboat company must have d
sufficient lease, not one terminable from
year to year at the pleasure of the regents.

an view of al the foregoing, which you
will recognize as truthful statements OF
what occurred. it hardly seems just that
statement should be given to the news
papers by your association. which throws
tie onus OF i d;scontinuance of the Mount
Vernon business on the steamboat company.
Your statement is in effect that we would
not accept lower rates unless your associa-
ton submitted TO impossible conditions.
The impossible conditions relate TO the term
of the contract which was asked by this
company. which is not an impossible condl-
ton. as was recognized by your committee
at the meeting held on the nth day of
May; IN fact. the solicitor representing you
1t Mount Vernon voiced the sentiment of
your committee by stating that the grant
ing of ten years contract under such
conditions was only fair.

will be remembered, however, that the
worlds fair at ST. Louis in 1904 drew a
great many people from Washington, and
to this is due the falling off in travel to
Mount Vernon.
OF the above totals, the boat company
hauled about one-third and the railroad
two-t birds
The proportion hauled by the road has
been constantly increa sing, it is said and
those by the boat decreasing. This increase
in favor of the railroad. it is reasonable to
suppose, will be more marked in the future.
The road contemplates improvements be-
tween Alexandria and Mount Vernon that
will add much to the efficiency of its serv-
ice.

Business Run Without Profit.

RrpIving to which resolution the officers
Of this company made ii plain to the COM
nittee representing your association tina;
for six years prior to the Both of April,
1865. the steamboat company had run the
Mount Vernon business without a single
cent of profit and that the only profit they
had ever received from the business. which
amounted to $1,000. resulted from the m
crease of the rate from 10 cents to 81 from
1903 TO 1904.
1T was made plain to your committee
that there had been in the past few years
large advances in the price OF coal, oil,
machinery and in wages, in consequence
of which the cost of operating the steam
boat to Mount Vernon was largely in
creased. Your committee after considering
these matters informed the officers of this
company that you could not alter the sense
Of the resolution above referred to. Where
upon we communicated to you our decnA-
ton of the contract. Subsequently on the
18th of May the officials of this company
were again invited to wait upon your COM
mittee. which they did.
AT that meeting the terms of the old
contract were gone over in detail by your
committee. having present it's legal repre-
sentative. and finally it was agreed. first,
that under no circumstances would the
the steamboat River Queen TO land at
Mount Vernon. because the River Queen
was engaged in colored passenger traffic:
and ii was further agreed that if the steam
boat company would reduce its rate TO ~
cents, that the regents would grant Ii a
contract for ten years, Steam boat to be
run at least seven months in the year to
which the steamboat company acceded and
nothing remained to be done bat to put
the contract into effect
