me: large pimpIcS and boils would con-
tinuc to come. At that time | had as

Sixteenth Streets Name
May Be Among FIRST Work
Considered By Congress

later correspondents maintain that its
location and popularity demand a more
dignihed title, and that as IL marks
one OF the boundary streets OF the Exc
cutive mansion, it should be properly
recognized as being apart from other
streets Of Washington, and that some
action should be taken within the near
future.
In order that residents Of the city
may know some of the interesting sug-
gesttons already made, a list Of new
names viii be published in next Sun
days Times. They are merely sugges-
tons, but demonstrate the deep interest
that Is being taken in the question.
Many Suggestions.
The letters have come from every sec
ton OF the city. and are not confined TO
the vicinity OF the street whose name
Is in question. Neither are they from
persons in any particular walk Of life
The public generally is interested infthC
matter. and is responding heartily to
the demand for a change in the name
OF the street.

TELEGRAPH STRIKE
NEARING THE END
Both Sides a Little 'HUppish, -
But Willing to Com
promise.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-There are in
dications today that the strike OF the
commercial telegraph operators viii end
within the week. The Western Union
and Postal companies nave lost barrels
Of money since their employees walked
out, and they are getting tired Of pub
lie criticism.
Outwardly the officials Of thu COM
panies and the union leaders seem as
far apart as ever. Belvidere Brooks.
superintendent OF the Western Union.
and Vice President Nally, OF the Pos
tai Company, both assert that they viii
make no compromise with the men or
recognize the union in any way The
strike leaders are equally firm But in
spite OF tnis attitude there is a belief
that the companies and the men are
getting together and that there will be
an agreement within the next few days
which will send the operators back to
their wires.
At a meeting in Brolls Hall, last night,
Joseph Anearn, president OF the local
union. asked the men and women if
they cared to return under the old con
diticn. The strikers voted unanimously
to stay out
Union leaders here say the companies
must surrender as the men are more
determined today than on the first day
of the strike.

Lawyers Think Western

CHICAGO. Sept. IA striking par
Rllel TO the world-ramOus Harry X.
Thaw trial In New York was found in
Chicago today, when Amasa c. Camp
bell, a wealthy merchant, of Amigo,
Wis, charged with the murder Of DR..
Benjamin P. Harris. began the fight for
mis- life.
So striking was the similarity in the
two cases that many OF the attorneys
about the criminal court building de-
clared the trial would become an exact
duplicate of the New York trial that
attracted the attention Of the world for
weeks.
There was this difference in the opin-
ions of the attorneys:
That while an Eastern jury would not
release a man upon the unwritten law
a Western jury would.
The first evidence OF this striking
parallel between the two cases came
with the evidence OF DR. Harold Meyer,
the first witness for the defense. and
one of the great insanity experts OF the
