FOUND HUMAN SKELETON,
Bones Unearthed Under Old Building
at 927 g Street Northwest

A mystery of some sort Is believed to
surround the finding of a human skeleton
under the old building at 027 street
northwest. The bones were found by
workmen while excavating yesterday aft
ernoon, as the building is being remodeled
for Percy II. Russell, the real estate
dealer
The old house was owned and occupied
by Mrs. Amelia Clapp, widow of former
Public Printer Clapp. She had lived there
for the past twenty-five years. Neighbors
cannot account for the strange find, and
the police have no inkling which might
lead to the unraveling of the mystery.

Alludes to Brightwood Line.

AlludeS to Br1ghtWood Line.
T. v. Powderly, spoke of the inconven-
fences that had never been rectif1ed on the
Brightwood line. He said the whole sys-
tenn is a disgrace; that waiting room is
much needed, as he had at different times
in the past month been forced to wait lS
q and % minutes for a car. But the wait
ing room was not fit for horned cattle, he
said. There were two stove-pipe holes in
1t, but they had never been connected with
any stoves, and what they were there Tor
he did not know, except to carry on BAD
air and profanity. Such a condition of af-
fairs could not last In any other city IN
the country, he said, and would not last In
Washington If 1t were not that we are Nv
ing under the best municipal government
in the world and have not the right to
vote"
This announcement was greeted with
great applause.
C. C. Lancaster made a fierce attack on
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. He said it had come to the point
where the creature had defied its creator.
The railways assumed that they owned the
city and the citizens who had given 1t free
the franchises worth millions of dollars. IF
they do not look out, said he, we Will
take those franchises and run them, and we
will run them right"
Mr.. Server said the association in Ecking-
ton had been formed originally to fight the
transportation problem. They had won to
the extent of getting an infinitely better
service tnan they nao Wnen the ASSOCIATION
was formed ten years ago. But the very
improvement of the service had caused an
immense growth of the locality and the i'm
provement In the railroad had by no means
kept pace with the growth of population.
Several of the speakers touched on this
phase of the question, and all declared that
It was the most short-sighted policy for
the railroads to starve and discourage the
very localities on which they depended for
their living by not giving them the facilt-
ties that would encourage their growth.
Chevy Chase Line Commended.
Mr.. Server. continuing, said It was but
fair to say a. good word for the Chevy
Chase line and for the employees of the
Washington street railways in general He
said there is little, II any. fault to find
with the Capital Traction Company but he
said-and in this he was fully supported
by all the other speakers-the Washington
Railway and Electric Company is slipshod
In its management and gives an atrocious
service on every one of IT'S lines, charging
at the same time that the law allowed for
what was enormously supposed to be
decent public accommodation.

Railway and Electric Company, Its officers

I'VE most respectfully ask of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the
United States the enactment of such leg
isIation as will compel the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to fulfill
its charter obligations, live up to its con-
tract with the public and render to Its pa
irons some measure of return for the mil
liens in franchise rights so freely bestowed
upon 1t by Congress-.
1t was resolved that the chairman OF
this meeting be empowered to appoint
CON mittee of which he shall be the chair
man, to consist of one representative from
each of the citizens associations served
by said lines of railway and five members
appointed at large, which shall formulate
and press before Congress such legislation
as, in it's judgment, is necessary to remedy
the evils complained of"

The Speeches.
There We're a large number of speakers.
Chairman Henderson said that the claim
of the meeting was that the public was en-
titled to a reasonable number of reasonably
clean and well-equipped cars, run on rea-
sonable schedule, and no railway had a
right to institute a thirty minute schedule
anywhere in Washington at any time of the
day or night.
One of the most interesting talks as a
matter of record, and showing what could
be done by concerted action, was Mr.. Har-
lows story of the fight that ended in the
reorganization and re-equipment of the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
line. He said the Commuters Protective
Association had twenty-five members with
note books, who kept a record of the line
for weeks before the hearing before the
Virginia corporation commission. Some of
the witnesses called were men and some
were women. They had the dates and
facts in writing, he said, and were able to
verify their statements. He caused laugh
by referring to one witness who was asked
whether or not the interior of the cars were
properly equipped. The man replied that
he did not know. Though he had been a
daily patron of the line for three years, he
had never managed to get farther than the
platform of one of the cars, and he did not
know what the inside looked like. It was
brought out in evidence also that cars de-
signed to hold thirty or forty people some

Alleged Failure to Keep Faith.

I'VE assert that the Washington Railway
and Electric Company has utterly failed to
keep faith with the donors Of its franchise:
that 1t has persistently. in season and out
of season, violated the charter provisions
above referred to; that it has trampled
upon the law which breathed the breath of
life into its corporate existence; that 1t
has ignored the Commissioners Of the Dis
trics Of Columbia in their repeated efforts
to correct the abuses complained of, and
has SO continued and persisted in such
wrong doing until the public sentiment of
a long suffering and outraged community
is arrayed solidly against the present op-
Grafton of said railway system.
THE cry from every section of the Dis
trict OF Columbia and the state OF Mary
land dependent upon these allied lines for
access to and from the city of Washington
is more cars, better cars. clean cars,
through service regular service, frequent
service The prosperity and progress of
suburban communities depend upon their
transportation system. We declare that the
suburban growth of Washington, so essen
tial to the well being and upbuilding of
our beautiful city, has been contracted and
stagnated by the character of the railway
service furnished by the suburban lines of
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
THE enforced patrons of these lines have
been patient and 1ong-suffering. For years
they have voiced their complaints as indi-
viduals and through the citizens associa-
tons. the District Commissioners and the
public press. Yet the evils complained OF.
fragrant and patent as they are, continue
In full force and effect to the present time.

sort of uncontradictable evidence that won
the fight for the association and resulted
in establishing satisfactory service.

National Guard of Utah Is in
Badly Demoralized Con-
ditiOn.
ONE HUNDRED PRIVATES
MAY TENDER RESIGNATION
Militia May Be Left in a Badly
Depleted Condition in
Short While.

That Col. H. NJ II Lund of the National
Guard of Utah must step down and out
as an officer of the line in the very near
future seems almost a certainty, accord
inc TO iufoTmatio gained about AFFAIRS
IN the guard. This action on the part of
Col. Lund is evidently a necessity to
prevent 2 return of conditions which
existed year ago, when the guard was
almost wholly disrupted, and othccrs and
men were discouraged and dlsbeartened
10 such an extent that those who had
stood by the guard through the thick
of the trouble had almost entirely lost
heart.
The recent encampment at Fort D. 4.
Russell, Wvo., is said TO be the factor
in bringing TO 3 focus the dissatisfac-
tion that has existed for some time
past When the guard returned to Salt
Lake stories We're rife as TO the mis-
management that had marked the trip,
and Col. Lund s name was openly used
by members of he guard in denuncia-
tory terms.
The story now leaks out that Gov.
Cutler. some time before the encamp-
ment, had intimated TO Col. Luud that
his position could be more ably filled.
The Governor offered the Colonel a
place on his STAFF. The Colonel, how
ever could not, or would not, see the
point, and declined to he transferred
to the Governor IS staff. where his posi-
tion of authority would be practically
eliminated. Col. Lund, therefore, went
to the encampment in command of the
troops.
Since the encampmeut the spirit Of
discomfort has been growing until, 1T
is stated on good authority, that sew
eral of the most efficient officers in the
guard have made up their minds to
hand in their designations unless Col.
Lund is transferred so tho staff of the
Governor or resigns from the guard. The
decision Of the officers. from what can
be learned, cannot be attributed to sell
fish motives. as none Of the present of
hcers aspire to the position of Colonel.
and they are aware that If Col Lund
vacated his place that il would probably
be filed by some one not now in the
guard.
The dissatisfaction resulting from
Col Lund's administration is said TO be
the result of his unftuess for the posi-
lack of executive ability As n detail
officer no fault seems to be found with
the Colonel, but for the position Of the
commanding officer of regiment the
Colonel seems entirely unfit and un-
able to command the respect due to his
position.
In addition to the resignation OF sew
eral of the officers. it is stated that over
n hundred Of the privates will resign,
and thus leave the guard in . more de
pleted condition than ever and undo the
hard work which has been put in by
most Of the officers during the last few
months of increasing the membership
and efficiency Of the guard

DESIRE U. S. TO INTERVENE
Business Interests Of Cuba Fearful OF
Any Voluntary Peace Compact.

HAVANA. Sept 23.-All classes are
now waiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be re-
stored in Cuba, and keen disappoint-
ment as expressed on every side be.
cause Of the likelihood OF peace being
brought about without armed American
Intervention. That the differences Of
the opposing factions could be recon
ciled was not generally believed to be
possible until today, when it was an
nounced that the Liberals and the insur-
represent them before the American
msdiaCors.
II is evident that the business inter
ests of the island have no confdencs
In the ability OF the Cubans to rule
themselves, and now, when it appears
too iate, rhey are openly favoring forci-
bic Intervention and possibly annexa-
ton.
Secretary OF War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace can
not last unless it is enforced bv an
American army, but he considers that
it is the duty OF the United States to
give the Republic another chance, and
believes that it would be bad policy
for tho United States TO keep a force in
Cuba longer than was required to super
wise Tie laying down of arms. He said
today that il the Liberals and Moder-
ntes harmonizc their differences the
United States must regard the compact
is made in good faith
That peace viii como as the result of
the mediation OF the United States is
ROW believed by Cubans. regardless Of
party utilization, but whether IL will be
on terms that viii insure permanent
tranquility is questioned.

WAITING ON HIGGINS
He Holds Key to Republican Situation
in New York.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 23.-Ihe
situation is practically at a standstill,
as the leaders and delegates gathered
for the Republican State convention on
Tuesday are all frankly dependent upon
the final word from GOV. Higgins as to
whether or not he VIII consent 80 stand
for a denomination. That decision, IL
is said, viii be given by the Governor
from Albany tomorrow.
There is real uncertainty as To what
it will be- though most Of the leaders
who have been in his confidence Incline
TO the belief that he will refuse to be
candidate.
Meanwhile there has been active
speculation as TO who viii be chosen
for the head Of the ticket if the Gov
crnor should decline. The names Of
Lieut. Gov Bruce. Charles d. Hughes
and Timothy J.. Woodruff are the most
prominently mentioned.
While it IS acknowledged that Mr..
Hughes would be strong candldate, u
is freely asserted that the upstate poll
ticians do not take kindly to him. Per
hapg il would be nearer the truth to
quote from one of the leaders, who re
marked that "uo one can tell what
Hughes would do if he were Governor;
be might smash things, and none OF us
can tell whether he himself would not
be among those hurt. :.
Another statement made tonight IS
that the nomination of Hughes would be
REGARDED as practically a victory for
Odell, as Hughes was his candidate orig
inallv. In this connection it is said that
Gov, Higgins s friends are not favor
able to Hughes.
