PLANS FURTHER MERCER
BY N. Y. LEGISLATION.
New Haven Road to Take Over the Poughkeepsie
 Bridge System.

It was reported here yesterday that steps are immediately to be taken by the New Haven road for a merger of itself with the Poughkeepsie bridge lines, which include many already un- der the control of the New Haven road. The merger will be carried through un- der New York legislation.
 The merger involves the consolida- ton of large and important railroad property. By the last report to the Connecticut railroad commission the Central New England and Poughkeep- sic bridge system had, besides the bridge, a total track mileage of 256 miles, representing 322 miles of single tracks. It has about f1fty-seven miles in New York, four miles in Massachu- setts and the rest of it's trackage in Connecticut. The system has total capital stock of $10, ,000, of which the Hartford and Connecticut Western is represented by $2,714,00O It's fullest debt Is $10,930,O0O, of which $7O0,OO0 is represented by Hartford and Connecti- cut Western securities. making neces- sary the exchange of about $20, ,O00, ,O0O.
 In his report for the year 1904 Presi-. dent Mellen stated that by the issue of $5,O0O.o .o0O of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad debentures he had acquired large controlling inter est in the stock and large holding of general mortgage income bonds of the Poughkeepsie bridge system. In that year the Central New England had earned only $693,1OS gross. For last year, owing to it's use for traffic fed to 1t by the New Haven system, it's gross earnings rose to $1,679449 Its operat- ing expenses, however, rose to $1,5OS,- $40, but of these expenses large part was represented in the repairs of the Poughkeepsie bridge, now drawing near completion.
 The Poughkeepsie bridge system, as stated by President Mellen in his re- ports, has been of decided value in re- lieving the pressure of freight business upon other parts of the New Haven system, notably the New York and Highland divisions. Its lines of future Business point directly to considerable utilities of through business toward Boston and northern New England. It has a branch line to Springfield, which opens opportunity for future profitable connection with the Boston and Maine. About three quarters of its whole bus iness consists of freight.

EAGLES ARE ACTIVE
AGAINST RAILROAD.
Will Renew Lease of Island
 Home Under Option.

A special meeting of the New Haven aerle, Fraternal Order of Eagles, was held in Newman's hall on Chapel street last night and it was voted to renew the lease on their island hoineP in the cut. The original contract gave the Eagles the right to a five-years' re- newal. Acting, it is. said, under advice of Judge zacher, their counsel, the Eagles are determined to take advan
 tage of the option. The original lease expires next January, and the five-year extension would date from that time.
 The settlement of this question has caused the New Haven road to delay tearing down the building, which is in the way of it's cut Improvements. The road has maintained q persistent sl- lence, causing the Eagies, who desire some sort of settlement, much veacation of spirit. The Eagles deny that the railroad has offered any settlement.

NAVY YARD NOTES.
Rumor That Leutze Will Soon Have
a Sea Command.

pead Admiral Eugene H. c. Leutze, COM
,,endant Of the navy yard, will return TO
b,o duties Monday after months vacation.
II is expected that Admiral I.eutze VIII be
rel,eved of the SUPPLEMENTARY or the
naval gun factory and the command or the
ward during the first part of the coming
wear in order that he may be given COM
nnand at sea before he retires for age, oc-
tober 10. 1909. 1t is rumored that he has
heen selected by the Navy Department to
command one of the divisions OF the racine
fleet upon mobilization at San Francisco
during the coming spring.
Commander Alexander Sharp it is under
stood. will shortly go on leave.
Great hopes are entertained by the en-
Moves of the navy yard that the coming
Congress will approve the recommendations
for the enla rgement of the yard, especially
for the erection of a brass foundry. The
entire southeastern portion of the city is
more or less interested in this matter, and
strong pressure, it is said, will be brought
to bear upon Congress by both the Navy
Department and the citizens of Southeast
Washington. Statistics show that govern
ment work, as turned out at the yard, is
far cheaper in the end than that done by
award.

ORGANIZATIONS BEST TEST"
Commissioner Mcfarland Says Change
in System Would Be Regrettable.

Regarding the suit which was filed in the
District Supreme Court yesterday praying
that the District Commissioners and the
civil service commissioners be enjoined
from holding examinations for certain
positions in the medical service of the Dis
trict government Commissioner mcfarland
said last night that he knows nothing of
papers and that it would be very regret
table If the present system of filling these
positions is interfered with. He explained
that by holding examinations for such
places physicians for the health depart
ment, inspectors, police and fire surgeons
physicians to the poor and physicians at
the Washington Asylum Hospital only the
best men are employed.
THE examinations TO be held Monday"
Mr. Macfarland said, ARE for medical Of
ficers and the distinctions referred TO are
only such as are necessary for medical ex-
aminations, such requiring five years
All examinations are open TO all persons
and are thoroughly practical The questions
are propounded by the civil service COM
mission and the markings are submitted
by the examiners to the Commissioners.
No argument is needed at this late date in
favor of the principle Of appointing upon
merit as ascertained by impartial eXamina-
ton rather than by political or other in
fuence These examinations have been
held by the Commissioners for years and
have never been questioned before They
have given US high-class men and 1t would
be a great blow to discontinue them"

NEW DESIGNATION PLATES.
Auto Owners Will Please Step Up to
the Captains Office.

Within the next few days, il is announced
the Commissioners will issue a public order
TO the effect that all persons owning or
operating automobiles must call at the Dis
triCt building and obtain a new automobile
plate" containing the number by which
each individual automobile operating under
a District license shall be designated IN the
future. and which must be displayed from
some part Of the rear of the machine.
These designation plates have been made
Expressly for the District government by
Lamb & Tilden of this city. and will cost
the public 81. which sum also includes the
cost of the license. The reason the Com
missioners had these signs made and for
having the designation OF the automobile
rcadiusted is stated to be that all the auto
mobile number plates may be uniform In
the past the plates were not uniform. Some
operators of machines made their own plates
or had them made, picking numbers to suit
themselves. which resulted in confusion. BY
this method. It is stated. a person could
operate a machine without having applied
to the automobile board OF the District for
a license and without paying his fee.
The automobile board OF the District
which has been at work for several months
rearranginR the new numbers for automo-
biles. finished the task last week. There are
at present over 900 licensed automobiles
operating here. At the last session of Con-
gress. when the Commissioners had this re-
adjustment and uniform plate scheme In
mind, they secured an appropriation from
Congress with which to have the plates
made. and the latter were completed sew
eral days ago and turned over TO the auto
mobile board for distribution.
These plates signs made OF sheet
eramcled iron. ten inches long and six
inches wide At the top OF the plate are
the words District of Columbia" in letters
one inch in height. Beneath this inscription
Is the number designated 10 the automobile
in numerals four inches in height and near
~ an inch in width. The background Of

numerals are of white and, according to
those who have seen them. they make a
very cred.tablc and practical sign. as well
being easy TO read and of good appear
auce. Two thousand five hundred OF thes 4
plates were furnished the District and there
Will he few hundred left over. The plates
are constructed SO that they can either be
attached by screws, straps or hooks
