POLICE CONTROL
FOR AMBULANCE
Money Would Be Saved and
Better Results Obtained By
Proposed Change

The petition of the Phoenix Fire Com
pany to City Council for an additional
appropriation of $500 to maintain
another ambulance. is causing consider
able comment. The excellent service
given by that organization in the past
is not questioned, and much credit Is
due the firemen for their charitable
work. but yet. there seems to be a
feeling that the ambulance service
should be under the direction OF the
Police Department, as in other cities.
This scheme is advocated by Council
man Lynch Of the Third ward. and It
rests with the approval of Chief OF
Police Black.
When seen today. Chief Black said
that IL Council appropriated $500 an
nually to the Police Department for
ambulance service, the needs Of the
city would be amply fulfilled. Two am
balances would not be needed, as the
patrol wagons, with their up-to-date
swinging stretchers could be used a,
any time IN an emergency
The patrol wagons are now equipped
with these stretchcrs and as they can

A cry is coming up from interested persons in
Cuba demanding that the United States shall es-
tablish protectorate over the troubled island
AS fact this government already has practically
protectorate, but this does not satisfy the in
terests that secured control of large properties in
Cuba and wish full-hedged protectorate only
because il would enhance she value of their prop
critics. 1t was those clamoring interests that so
harassed Secretary Taft during his visit to the
island.

HON. 10 DEAL WITH LOBBYISTS.

Y1E spirit of reform has not yet departed
from the soul of Governor Folk of Mis-
souri. Many recommendations mark the inaugu-
raj message of the Governor. One Of the princi-
pal ones is that it should be made crime to lobby
in the interest of any bill pending before the Cen
eral Assembly. Governor Higgins, Of Rhode Is
land Amplains also of the evils of lobbying in
thaseBtate, and urges the passage of a stringent
w upon the subject. But that is just where the
difficulty comes in--how to frame a stringent law
& that will do away with the evil which is so gen
orally condemned. There is however, some rea-
son for the existence of the lobby and it may
serve legitimate purposes. Bills when they are
presented to a law-making body, often must be
looked after diligently by some one or they will
be permitted to fall by the wayside.
Maryland has a law on the question Of lobby
ing which is being tried as an experiment, and
which may work out we'll The lobbyists there
are conrtlled to register. They are known as is
their business, and hence the members of a leg
islature can be on the lookout for them

a bill providing for the construction OF a
temporary trolley line from the intersec-
tion Of North Capitol and c streets to
the New Union Station. TO accommodate
the travelling public until such time as

mined 10 do all in their power 10 secure
temporary communication so that the
public need not walk while Congress is

that it will pass. II differs from Repre-
sentative Sims bill, pending in the
House. in that it requires the traction
companies TO erect the line instead of
the terminal company.
A bill TO extend the time allowed the
Washington and Western Maryland Rail-
road in which TO construct its line from

Representative Smith, who will be
chairman of the House District Commit

officials Of the Washington Terminal
Company 70 see whether or not the com
pany win comply with the terms of the
Sims bill for temporary tracks from the
station to c street. and Just what they
would expect to do in case the bill is
permitted to go through.
Mr.. Sims. who introduced the measure
providing that the criminal company
construct the tracks. so the passage Of
the bill might not be blocked by amend
ments, will probably accompany him.
Neither is sure the terminal company
would be wholly satisfied with such a
bill, but If found agreeable to the on
cials. it is barely possible it may come
up for unanimous comment when the
House reassembles Thursday
Terminal company officials decline TO
discuss the matter until it has been laid
