GERMAN ELECTRICAL COMMITS.
SION WAS ELECTRIFIED.

BERLIN, November 16.-Privy Councillor
Whitfield the electrical expert of the Prus-
san railway ministry, who recently took
"a commission of experts to the United
States for the purpose of studying cleo
trical transportation problems said in an
interview today:
American progress in electrical rapid
transit since my previous visit there Is
roads for municipal rapid transit been
greatly increased, developed and perfect
ed but electricity is applied more ana
more to standard gauge roads. 1t in
terested me especially to see that the
practical Americans are now using al
most exclusively the single-phase alter
mating current. The continuous current
roads, which predominated on my pre-
yious visit, are now dropping further and
further into the background.
Preparing a Report.
The American roads are built excel
lently 1t is astonishing to see with what
simple means the Americans get splendid
results, even where money is lacking.
I'VE were astonished at the gigantic
development of electrical roads in 1ndi-
ana and the thnly settled states like
Oregon
Herr Whitfield further remarked that
the visit of the German experts will have
practical results. Their observations in the
United States will be utilized In cleo
trifying the Berlin and suburban roads.
Work on the plans for these improve
ments have already been begun. but Will
require several years to finish.
A comprehensive report on his Ameri-
can visit is being prepared by Herr Witt
field for submission to the government.

President Finley of the Southern rail-
road met a committee of residents of
Bluemont branch of the road yesterday
relative to securing proper terminal facili-
ties for the commuters on that branch
and other roads entering Washington from
the south, and to avoid taking them all
the way to the new station. from where
they claim they would be compelled to
walk two squares to a car line to take
them to the center of the city.
There was long discussion of the mat
ter, and at the suggestion of Mr. Ackert,
general manager and vice president Of the
railroad, the party went down to Mary
land avenue and walked over the entire
route from 14th street to ~ street.
It is stated that the railroad company
is anxious to assist the people coming In
to Washington from the south to secure
a terminal that will be satisfactory. but
the conditions are such that nothing can
be done at the present time. The railroad
people contend that to make a proper
terminal, as the law requires, will ia re
several months, and that in the meantime
the people will have to suffer inconven.

District of Columbia function, and it was
to have been followed later by another

however, was necessarily abandoned be-

embarrassing dangers, which might re-

The members of the committee were i'm
pressed with the desire of the officials to
remedy the trouble. 1t is stated that the
District Commissioners require the rail-
road companies to erect an $4,000 station
on Maryland avenue. This the companies
do not feel inclined to do at the present
time. The law does not require this, but
it does require that a substation be built
north OF Water street. The committee
contends that nothing has been done in
this matter.
The delegation later went to the District
building to see the Commissioners, but as
it was a half holiday they were disap-
