of Washington RaiI5Coy Company.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington, April 25-That William Loeb, ir-,
secretary to the President. will leave his present
place January 1, TO succeed ex-Representative
McDermott. of New Jersey, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric Company. is
asserted positively by certain financial interests
IN Washington who have been trying recently
to obtain a controlling interest in this corpora
tion through extensive purchases in the local
stock market. The story die not gain circula-
ton until Mr.. Loeb had sailed from Washington
for Jamestown. and those left in charge at the
White House offices declare that they know
nothing Of the contemplated change There is
no doubt that the who believe they have
got control of the local traction company are
anxious to obtain the services of Mr.. Loeb as
president and they appear 10 believe that they
have been successful in inducing him to look
favorably on their proposition.
The affairs Of this company have for some
time been in the hands of trustees. notably
Brown Brothers, the Mutual Life Company, the
United States Mortgage Company and other
New York concerns. Their trust win expire on
June ]. and after that the people who have ac-
quired almost 30 per cent of the stock through
a local broker expect a new deal. A new di-
rectory will be elected and this. In turn, will
elect new officers. and confidence is expressed
that Mr.. Loeb will be chosen president
Mr.. Loeb has received n number of f1attering
offers from various sources since he came 10
Washington, but heretofore has rejected all in
order that he might remain with the President.
Some time ago il reported that he would
become president Of the Washington Railway
Company, and at that time he declared there
nothing in the rumor. although it is known
that effort had been made to induce him TO
accept the place Now il is said that a much
larger salary has been offered him and that he
has accepted. although confirmation can be
obtained from Mr.. Loeb unless he can be
reached by wireless on board the Mayfiower.
When ex-Representatfve Allan l. McDernott was
at his home in Jersey City last night regard
ing the foregoing dispatch he said: The change
is not expected 10 occur until January next. when.
according to the general understanding which has
existed here for some time reorganization OF the
company will occur. There is no understanding Of
that kind, Better Mr.. Loeb. There is nothing
that 7 say.
James p. Dusenberry. treasurer Of the PupHc
Service Corporation. in Newark. said last night that
he knew nothing of Loeb's selection as president
Of the Washington Railway Company He added
that the Public Service Corporation IS In no way
interested in the Washington company.

racy by members of the Electrical Workers

Mccarthy. president of the Building Trades

Books Of travel are many in these days. but

upon the reviewer as does .his story Of 4 jour
ney in Syria The Englishwornan who tells 1t
has brains courage. sympathy, culture. even
learning. and as a traveller she has made the
most of these gifts. She knows that human
nature does not undergo a complete change east
OF Suez'': she has rare understanding or Orleh-
tai character. and capacity as rare for re-
specting an alien point Of view. Her working
knowledge of Arabic took her out of the category
of the ordinary superficial writer of travels. and
ena bled her to vividly fulfil the purpose with
which she set QUITO describe the people she en-
countered and their world as she saw II and as

The members then knOtted in button

The call to order found the members
tangled up in maze of motions and
amendments, many of them not under
standing that the committee had voted
to report favorably on the second read
ing of the bill under discussion. The
tangle was unwound by the reading of
the stenographer g notes and the com

HIGH SHERIFFS DEPUTIES.
Senator Smith, from the Judiciary
committee reported as follows:
The Judiciary committee has had I'M
der consideration House Bill No. Sc,
entitled An Act amena1ng Section 1852
of the Revised Laws of Hawaii, rela-
ting to deputies, high sheriff, appoint
ment, powers, bond" and recommend
the passage of the bill.
Section 1862 of the Revised Laws pro-
vides that the high sheriff may appoint
not more than two deputies for whose
acts and defaults he shall be respon-
sible upon his official bond. The
bill under consideration provides that
the high sheriff may appoint deputies
without limiting the number. This
provision seems reasonable.
The only other amendment in the bill
is the following: In Section 1862 of the
Revised Laws it is provided that the
high sheriff shall exact from his depu-
ties bonds of indemnity with sufficient
sureties, etc, and the proposed amend
ment provides that he may exact SUCH
bonds. The committee hesitated some
what in approving of this latter
amendment but in view of the fact
that the high sheriff is responsible I'M
der his own bond for the acts and de-
faults of his deputies, and as some
times it is desirable for person to be
commissioned as deputy for a special
purpose or temporary service, it might
be difficult to have the matter of a bond
attended to; so we conclude to recon-
mend the bill as it came from the
House of Representatives
