PROTEST FILED.
Objections to Use Of Triangle by Rail
way Company.

The Commissioners have received pro-
test from Rev. Theron Outwater, pastor
of Kendall Baptist Church, and others,
against allowing the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington railroad the right to
use the government triangle at the inter-
section of Sth and 9th streets and Maryland
avenue southwest as a site on which to
store stone intended for use in the con-
struction of the new government buildings
in the southwest. The protest is made on
the alleged ground that the work of the
church and Sunday school will be inter-
fered with. The citizens association in
Southwest Washington recently protested
against the laying of tracks on the streets
in the southwest section.
Rev. Mr.. Outwater also protests against
the grade crossings of the railroad at the
streets mentioned. He says they consti-
tute source of danger to children attend
ing the church and Sunday school.
In reply to the protest, Col. John Biddle,
Engineer Commissioner, states that there
is no change of plan contemplated at 9th
street which will create a grade crossing.
The original plans provided for an over
head crossing but these have been changed
to carry the street under the railroad
tracks, and a bill for this is now pending
in Congress. The matter of safety is said
to be as. we'll guarded in the, second plan as
in the first. .iarh 81

REGULArNurHE SALES.
Commissioners ASSIST in Preventing
Dishonest Tra1Rc m r. r. Tickets.

The Commissioners will assist the local
railroads in the effortYto secure the enact
ment of law prohibfting dishonest traffic
in excursion tickets to Washington during
the Inauguration and attending ether inn
portant events here. commissioner West
has prepared bin which has been referred
to the corporation aeounsel for opinion.
which is calculated tosaccomplish the pur-
pose mentioned. Il is proposed that the law
shall be enacted IN time to make it appli-
cable to tickets Sold tovisitors to Washing
ton during the inauguration. The law win
apply only to tickets. sold for special occa-
sions, such as inaupurmtions encampments,
etc
In his recommendation to the Commits
sioners Mr.. West explains that as one OF
the omcers OF the inaugural committee he
nad caHed TO his attention by the subcOm-
mittee on transportation the fact that the
railroads will place on sale excursion tick
cts at the usual half-rate from all sections
OF the United States to Washington and re-
turn Tor the Inauguration period, and that
the time limit of the tickets will be extend
ed considerably beyond the usual ten days.
They have taken this favorable action, 1t
is stated, with the knowledge that dishonest
tramc IN these tickets can be prevented by
securing an injunction in the Supreme
Court OF the District of Columbia, following
the precedent established at the time of the
Grand Army reunion in Washington, when
tice Hagner. 1t has been suggested, how
ever, that instead of this temporary expe-
dent, a law should be passed by Congress
to cover not only the inaugural period, but
all occasions of the assembly of large gath
erlngs IN the national capital.
Inc purport of the bill in brief" says
MI. west, lis to prevent traffic in mileage,
excursion. or Communication tickets, where
the buyer of such ticket enters into sign
ed contract with the railroad company that
II snail be non-transferable and void in the
hands OF any other person than the original
purchaser, and is modelled after the ordi-
nance passed by the common council of st.
Louis to cover the period of the Louisiana
purchase exposition. It is also in line with
the LEGISLATION of some ten or more states,
and in the injunction obtained in Chicago,
and follows closely the suggestions con-
tanned In Justice Hagners opinion. 1t pro-
vides that the railroad company shall re-
deem all unused portions of tickets present
ed for such redemption. and 1t does not in
terfere with the sale by brokers Of any but
the special-rate tickets. It is asserted that
legal protection Of the contract between the
railroad company and the purchaser, Sc
cured by the enactment of the proposed bill
into law, will result in great benefit to this
city, inasmuch as the railroads will favor
the District of Columbia in the sale Of ex-
cursion tickets in all such cases."
