Car Conductors Place.
From the New York Tribune.

The so-called "pay as you enter" street
cars. which are said to have proved en-
tirely satisfactory in other cities in the
United States and Canada. are soon to be
tried here. The experiment will be in
interesting and may result in much profit
to both the car companies and the public.
1t certainly will be highly beneficial to the
companies If. as is expected, it puts a
stop to the knocking down"-Anglice,
stealing-of fares which is believed to be
extensively practiced by conductors, as
we'll as to the less but still considerable
loss of fares through unintentional failure
or inability to collect them. In existing
conditions it is scarcely possible for a
conductor to be sure as to who have and
who have not paid their fares. Many
persons doubtless get on cars, ride few,
or perhaps many, blocks and get off again
without paying, for the reason that all
the while the conductor is inside the car,
where he cannot see them and they can
not reach him even If they are disposed to
offer fares without being asked for them.
If the new style of car does away with
these evils, by enabling the conductor to
remain constantly on duty at the point of
ingress and egress, 1t will be welcome
improvement upon all existing forms.

with the trial of the four officers charged
with the responsibility of surrendering
: the fortress on terms dishonorable to the
garrison and humiliatng to the prestige
of Russia. He then called the roll OF 2OO
witnesses, including Gen. Kuropatkin and
Vice Admiral Wren Several of the wit
neses were absent. but the court decided
to proceed with the trial.
The entire afternoon was taken up with
the reading of the voluminous and de-
tailed Indictment. The recital brought
the spirit of strife and war into the court
room. and the men who had defended the
fortress against the onslaught OF the
japanese listened today with rapt atten-
ton to the story of their work FROM
time to time. when particular events were
referred to. nervous murmur ran
through the hall. Many of the witnesses
still suffer from the effects of the siege,
and 1t was clear that they were controlling
themselves with difficulty.
One or two incidents showed the atti-
tude of the court to be unfavorable to
Stoessel. His personal request that two
additional witnesses be called in was dis
missed without ceremony. One OF these
witnesses, DR.. Rozanoff. was chief of the
Red Cross within the fortress, and at the
preliminary hearing testified that at the
time of the surrender Gen. Stoessel had
at his disposal only 5000 ablebodied men
to defend the hundreds of miles of forti-
fications. and that the bitter cold winds

their hands. Gen. Maiden. the other wit

ton similar to that of DR.. RoZanoff. The
general commanded the firing line at Port
Arthur.
Re. Sympathize With Stoessel.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press spoke with witnesses of all ranks.
From these conversations it was clear
that the trial was making a most painful
impression upon them. They declared 1t
to be an insult to Gen. Stoessel and to his
army The defenders of the fortress, they
said, were being thus ungratefully re-
warded for having expended life and
strength in the soul-racking defense.
While the witnesses are not partisans of
Gen. Stoessel. they are plainly of the
opinion that the generals detractorS and

The absence of ex-Viceroy Alexien from

government is not willing to enhance the
magnitude of the proceedings. Alexief
escaped going on the witness stand with
difficulty.

BAN JOHNSON'S PLAN
AMERICAN LEAGUE TO ACT AS
TO POSTPONED GAMES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. December 1O-One Of the
questions that will BE threshed out at
the American Leagues annual meeting,
which begins in this city tomorrow. will
be with regard to postponed games. Pres
ident Ban johnson has strong ideas on
the subject, and will recommend the adop-
ton of a rule making it compulsory to
play off postponed games as early as pos
sible. in order that the entire schedule
may be played out each season. He claims
that with such rule it would be less
easy for contending teams at the end of
the season to save their players for de-
Gliding series.
May Limit Tryouts.
The necessity for legislation on this
subject, johnson says, was made plain
last season. when the Athletics escaped
two games with the st. Louis Browns at
time when they could i'll afford to place
pitchers In action. One of the games was
postponed affair. and under the proposed
new rule would have been played OFF on
the nrst day OF the series. Instead, 1t was
put off to the final day, when double
header was advertised. Rain made it I'M
necessary to play either game, and the
rest thus secured was a big help in the
series that followed with the White Sox.
Another proposition to be submitted will
have to do with turning out new talent at
the tail-end of the season. Too much Of
this is done, 1t is asserted, and frequently
results in injustice to teams contending
for the pennant. johnson thinks hat try
outs are overdone, and that not more than
one green man should be used by each
team in a game. 1t was probably this
feature Of the Athletics policy two years
ago that lost the pennant to the High
landers.
