HOMEOWNERS PROTEST
OBJECT TO CAR LINE ON NEW
JERSEY AVENUE.

A strong protest against having q car
line established on New Jersey avenue,
which thoroughfare is mentioned in the
COMMISSIONER bill to Congress providing
for the running Of cars to the Union sta
ton. was made to the Commissioners to-
day in the form Of q written petition
signed by Warner Stutler and Oscar M.
Bryant. representing a number of prop
erty owners and residents on New Jersey
avenue.
The petition declares that there is no
necessity for the New Jersey avenue route
Messrs. stutler and Bryant said that
while the Commissioners we're careful In
the preparation of the bill they have not
carefully considered the subject, otherwise
the most beautiful avenues in the city.
Nine-tenths Of the property owners, they
declare, are opposed to having a double
track line on what Is essentially resi-
Dental street and that nobody will be
benefited except the street railway cor
poration which Is bent upon 1.-THE ruth
less destruction all the finest north and
south streets and avenues"
The protestants also called the attention
of the Commissioners to the petition, rep
ers along New Jersey avenue. which was
presented to the Senate at the last ses-
sion, when bill was being considered
that provided car line on this thorough
fare. and which petition. 1t is said, re-
suited in the determined opposition Of
several senator's to having street car
| line on New Jersey avenue.
AN amendment was accepted by the
Senate committee" it is stated, PRO
| viding for connection with the Union
station by coming down Massachu-
| sets avenue from 7th street. Another
feasible route. without destroying New
Jersey avenue. would be along Florida
avenue from 7th street to North Capitol
street, thence down North Capitol street
to the Union station. Still another route
would be from 7th street to 4th street on
| line to Massachusetts avenue. and thence
to the Union station. Both of these last
named routes already have tracks upon
them, and each one Of them Is located
from one to two squares from New Jersey
avenue
The petition concluded as follows: ut
| does seem that the property owners
should have some rights in the premises,
but it appears that there has been a dis
| to railroad this bill through Congress- in
spite OF the fact that % per cent Of the
| property owners are bitterly opposed to
| the New Jersey avenue extension. It is
| only fair to say that these same property
owners have never been given a hearing
| by the Commissioners at which they
might offer objections or arguments Of
any kind and yet a petition signed by
virtually all Of them Is now on file In the
Of the Senate committee having this bill
| in charge"
The. Commissioners have taken no action
| on the petition.

FORCE AT NAVY YARD.
No Material Reduction Contemplat.
ed-Matter Of Pay.

There is said to be some alarm among
the thousands of mechanics In the WASH
ington navy yard concerning rumors that
after the departure Of the battleship
squadron for the Pacific next week there
will be a marked reduction Of the force of
workers In the naval gun factory. and
also that the wage board will recommend
decrease in the present pay of the
machinists.
The statement Is made at the bureau Of
ordnance Of the Navy Department that
there will not be any material reduction
of force at the Washington navy yard due
to the sailing of the battleships. As to
the rumored reduction in pay, 1t Is said to
be based on recent Investigations of the
wage board. and its alleged discovery that
the mechanics in the yard are receiving
more pay than similar artisans within a
radius of 100 miles Of Washington, and
the additional Information that living ex-
penses have not advanced In the past
year. The report Of the wage board will
not be given out until January 1 next, it
was said.

, SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY.
Bullets Found ut Brownsville Not
From Army Rifles.

The expert analysis of the bullets sub.
mitted as evidence in the Bro xnsville
investigation has been completed and
the findings sent to the Senate COM
mittee on Senate military affairs. It
is understood that the analysis shows
that the bullets were not the variety
in use by the army at the time Of the
Brownsville riot. Gen. Crozier. chief
of ordnance. himself now cohnurs in
the belief that the bullets submitted
were not fired from Krag-Jorgensen
rifles.
The analysis of the bullets, with cor
respondence from Gen. Crozier, will be
submitted to the committee on military
affairs at its meeting Tuesday. The
new evidence will without doubt be
given rather earnest consideration by
all the members. and 1t may have q
great deal to do In shaping the final re.
port Of the committee.

NOT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
Immediate Consideration Of the
Hepburn Bill Unlikely.

The Senate committee on public build
ings and grounds probably will not meet
for the consideration Of referred bills ur-
til the existing vacancies have been filled
AS the committee lists are not expected
until just before the holidays. it seems
likely that the committees will not take
up the Hepburn bill for the purchase of
the property south Of the avenue until
after the first Of the year.
Senator Burkett of Nebraska, member
of the Senate District committee, told a
representative Of The Star today that he
has always been in favor Of the govern
ment's acquiring the land included in the
Hepburn proposition. The only question
in his mind. he said was whether the
government could get the land at its
proper valuation.

New Coin Unsatisfactory.

PHILADELPHIA, December 7-Accord-
Ing to advices today from Washington the
government officials are not satisfied with
the new gold double eagle which has lust
been issued from the mint in this city,
and the Treasury has ordefed that the
coinage of the new pieces be dlscon-
tinued. Thus far about $4,000 of the
coins have been circulated. The defect is
a rough wire edge. due to the extraor-
binary pressure necessary to secure the
concave effect which the design calls for
New dies are being made to eliminate
this defect, and coinage will be resumed
shortly. The design. which has been
pronounced extremely artistic, will not
be changed.
1t is stated that because Of the unusual
amount OF labor required to produce the
new coins they are the most expensive
ever turned cut In this country.

TOLL OF THE PIT.

In the number Of lives lost in
mining operations the year 1907
has been the most disastrous on
record. Up to December the list
Of deaths by mine accidents stood
at 1.499. With the Monongah
figures added the total for the year
will approach 1000. Deaths in
mine disasters in 1906. when 1.219
were killed in one act at Courieres,
France, totaled only $500.
Since 1856 the average number
of deaths by accidents In mines
has been 1000 a year. The years
in which the average has been ex-
ceeded by over 1000 have been
1879. when !. f13 miners were killed:
1889. with a death list of lilo,
and 1901, with 1.131 deaths.
Safety appliances have kept pace
with the increase in the number
Of miners employed, which has
raised the liability Of large death
lists In single disasters.
Following is list Of mining ac-
cidents and the lives each cost
