the most fruitful sources of complaint by
shippers against the carriers. AZ far as car
distribution and the furnishing of facilities
are concerned, has grown out of the want OF
publicity on the part of the carriers in their
dealings with shippers. II the carriers had
conducted their business with shippers
openly and had furnished information as
to car distribution. to which shippers were
entitled, much of the favoritism. according
to the report, would have been averted and
wherever unjust suspicious were aroused the
readily appeared On the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads 1t was almost
impossible for the shipper to ascertain &C
curately what was the system OF car DIS
tribution, and whether 1t was faithfully
carried out.
The commission announces that the
method or rating mines those roads
where the capacity of the mines to produce
coal is an element considered in the dis
tribution of cars to the several divisions or
districts and each mine therein, has not
been carried out with care or fairness
which should characterize such responsible
and important duties.
1t is declared that many inequalities and
unjust methods are used in arriving at the
capacity of each mine. 1t is strenuously
Railroad Company, the report says, that
the acquisition of the stocks of the Balt-
more and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Norfolk and Western by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company was the real
cause for the cessation in rebates, which
seems to have taken place Immediately
after the stocks in these companies were
acquired, and this claim in part seems to
be justified.

SEVERE PENALTY IMPOSED.
Action by Police Court in Case Of As
sault.

sault.
One year less day In jail and $40 fine or
six months additional in default of pay
ment was the sentence imposed in the Police
Court today by Judge Mullowny, on Will
lam Smothers. colored, charged with as
saultng Special Policeman Thomas 8. Hay
den and Jennie and Sarah Blackburn, the
9Th instant.
Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given has an
nounced that in cases of assaults with
bricks, razors or other weapons Of the kind,
he will insist on severe sentences, and by
his action today Judge Muiiowny indicated
that he takes the same view as does Mr..
Given, believing that the penalties in such
cases should be near the maximum.
Smothers was on rampage on the night
of January 5. 1t Is declared. Early In the
evening, he visited the Blackburn home in
Willow Tree alley southwest and engaged
today that he tried to pry their ribs apart
with the toes of his shoes.
Later Special Policeman Hayden chased
him. suspecting him Of stealing coal from
the railroad yards in southwest Washington.
Smothers got away. The special policeman
went to the fourth precinct station for aid.
After leaving the station, the officer met
Smothers on D street, between 7th and 9Th
streets southwest, and tried to arrest him.
When aid arrived from the police station
Hayden was suffering from q severe frac-
ture of the skull and was unconscious and
Smothers was missing. Hayden was sent
to the Emergency Hospital, and his life, de-
SPARED OF at first. was saved by the sur
geons.
Smothers was. arrested a. couple of days
later by Policeman Cole of the fourth pre-
cinct. and he has been in jail since await
ing the recovery of his victim.

MATTER FREQUENTLY URGED.
Congress Failed to Penalize Neglect
to Give Transfers.

In speaking of the statement that the DIS
trict Commissioners ought to- have induced
Congress to provide penalty for the act OF
1895 requiring the Capital railway, the
Metropolitan railway and the Capital Trac-
ton Company to give reciprocal transfers,
Commissioner Mcfarland said today that
the Commissioners had been asking Con-
gress ever since 1896 for effective transfer
arrangements between the lines, first, until
1900. when the Washington Traction Com
pany took all the lines except those con-
troled by the Capital Traction Company, by
asking for penalty for the act OF 1876.
and since 1900 by asking for the general
the transfer arrangements.
While the Commissioners had reported ia
vorably on the Wiley and Madden transfer
bills and did not want to prejudice them In
any way, they had also in their reports on
those bills called attention to the Commits
sioners' bill, upon which the House SUBJ
committee has acted favorably at this ses-
sion, and which has been pending in every
Congress since 1860 providing for the gen.
eral control of the railway situation, in
Guiding the transfer arrangements. If this
bill had been passed by Congress the Com
missioners could have required not only
the three lines mentioned in the act Of 1896.
but all the lines included In both the great
systems, to make satisfactory reciprocal
transfer arrangements.
The act of 1896, to which Congress did not
affix a penalty, notwithstanding that 1t was
repeatedly asked to do SO. practically be-
came obsolete In 1900, when the Washing
ton Traction and Electric Company came
upon the scene and absorbed all the lines
not in the Capital Traction Company. The
universal transfer idea would not have been
possible under the act of 1896, which was
limited in its terms to the three lines men,
toned in it. But under the Commissioners
bill, pressed upon Congress year after year
since 1900, all the lines in both of the great
systems are comprehended and could be
dealt with effectively.

UNDER SURVEILLANCE
BILL PROVIDING FOB PROBATION
OFFICERS FOR ADULTS.

The bill recently introduced in the Sem
ate providing for the appointment OF pro-
baton officers for adults by amending the
code OF law Of the District, which was re-
ferred to the Commissioners several days
ago for report, has the approval OF George
s. Wilson, secretary of the District board
of charities, and the Commissioners to-
day referred it to the corporation counsel
for his advice, before they act upon it.
However, It Is authoritatively stated that
the proposed measure will be favorably re-
ported upon by the Commissioners as the
provisions of it are looked upon generally
good.
The bill provides that the Supreme Court
OF the District shall appoint one probation
officer and may also appoint not more than
five male and two female assistant pro-
baton officers. Each officer shall hold his
Office in the pleasure of the court and it
shall be the duty of each to inquire into
the offense. the antecedents and charac-
ter of every person of and over seventeen
years of age arrested for crime not capital
or otherwise infamous, in the District
The male officers shall investigate all
male cases and the female officers cases
where women are arrested They shall
act In cooperation with the District board
of charities, and the officers shall not
be members of the police force, although
officers.
Liberal salaries are provided for the Of
hcers. The head probation officer shall re-
ceive s2,Oo0 year. Each assistant officer

CIRCULARS IN DooRWAYs.
Bill Submitted Prohibiting Certain
Form of Advertising.

The bill prohibiting the distribution Of
circulars and other advertising matter in
doorways and private property in the Dis
trict, which the Commissioners directed the
corporation counsel to draft several days
ago, has been prepared and has been trans
mitted to Chairman Gallinger of the Dis
trict committee of the Senate with rec
ommendation for early and favorable &C
ton. By the enactment of this bill the
Commissioners hope to stamp out the prac-
tice of littering vestfbules, doorways, door
steps, etc, with circulars, particularly those
pertaining to the loaning of money and the
selling of secondhand clothes.
So numerous and persistent have the COM
plants been regarding this nuisance from
residents throughout the city during the
last year that the Commissioners deter
mined the practice should be stopped. They
first proposed to amend the police regula-
tons so as to include provision prohibit
ing this practice, but they learned that 1t
would be necessary for them to obtain an
act of Congress to give them this authority,
and this draft of a bill is the result.
1t is provided in the measure that 1t shall
be unlawful for any person, firm, corpora
ton or company or association of any CHAR
acter to throw, push, cast, deposit, drop,
scatter or leave within the building line,
vestibule or yard of any premises, WITHIN
the District, any paper. hand bill, dodger.
card circular or advertising matter OF any
kind 1t is specifically stated. however. in
the bill that nothing in it shall be construed
to interfere with the distribution of news
papers or any class of mail matter in the
ordinary class of mail delivery. 1t is also
provided that nothing in the bill shall. be
taken to modify, annul or repeal the power
to make police regulations heretofore given
the Commissioners by Congress, nor any
future police regulation prohibiting deposits
upon parks, parking, streets, avenues or al
leys or other public space.
For violations Of any provisions Oh TINS
hill, punishment shall be by a fine of not
less than s. nor more than $50. and prose-
cutions shall be in the Police Court IN the
name of the District. ~

in Potomac River.

The body of Capt. Joseph Gillhooley, mas
ter of the Philadelphia barge VIM. NJ. Cur
tin, who was drowned yesterday afternoon
by falling overheard from his barge, was
recovered this morning about Ii 90 clock
by the crew Of the harbor police boat Vigil
liant. 1t is now in the morgue and will. it
Is stated, be held until his relatives can be

The drowning OF Capt. Gillhooley occur

hooley was employed about the deck of his
vessel putting everything in shape for the
trip down the bay when by some mischance
he stumbled and plunged headlong into the
bridge.
The fall of the man into the water was
observed from the tug, and life bouys were
thrown overheard In the hope they would
drift down to him in time to save him. The
tug was stopped and went back, but the
man. numbed by the cold water, had gone
to the bottom, and the crew of the tug
could do nothing. Capt. Foster anchored
Georgetown channels, and returned to this
city to report the drowning to Lieut.. SUIT
ton of the harbor police.
The police boat Vigilant was sent to the
scene of the drowning, and the men drag

unmarried. but his mother, who lives In
Philadelphia survives him.

MODEL LAW PROPOSED
INSURANCE LEGISLATION FOR
THE DISTRICT.

In the letter of Mr.. L. H. Brandeis. to
which the President referred in his mes
sage to Congress on an insurance law for
the District yesterday, he discussed at
some length the arguments In favor Of es-
tablishing standard forms of policies, as ad-
vanced by Insurance Commissioner Drake
of the District of Columbia in his annual
report. These, he says, are necessary to
secure basis for comparing the cost of
insurance in the several companies and
also to protect the insured against the in
sertion of improper provisions. He meets
the argument against such forms and con-
tends that it is more important to secure
a reduction in cost than to secure further
liberalization. He, however, expresses the
opinion that it Is possible to combine the
advantages of both restriction and freedom
by a statute, which will establish stand
ard forms, but permit other clauses to be
introduced in the contract. He takes is
sue with Commissioner Drake, who disap-
proved of the annual apportionment and
the accounting of surplus policies say
ing that the provision seems to him desir-
able both to the insured and the public.
On the question of limiting salaries to $780,
600 a year he agrees with Mr.. Drake in OPP
position. He also takes the position that
there is no adequate reason for prohibiting
corporations from acting agents
licitors but thinks that a license should

Commissioner brakes View.
In his letter Commissioner Drake says, In
part:
II am fully convinced that the only prac.
teal approach to uniform insurance legis-
lation is the enactment by Congress of
code of insurance laws for the District Of
Columbia and the territories, just and
fair, alike to the insured and the compa-
MES, containing the requirement of all that
should be done and prohibiting that which
should not; and which with such Sigh!
changes are necessary to make it locally
applicable can be substantially adopted by
the different states.
This is probably as far as the federal
power can go; and il the code Is just and
fair will sooner or later be adopted by the
states. For whatever is good insurance
and good legislation for insurance compa-
niles in the District Is equally good In
Wyoming, Oregon or elsewhere. The prin-
ciples upon which 1t Is based are as ap-
plicable in one part of the country as an
