WETMORE IN FEAR OF REYBuRN
RIVALRY FOR LADY'S FAVORS
WRECKS FRIENDSHIP.
Police Protection Asked by Sena.
tors Son-Says Philadelphia
Threatened His Life.

William Reyburn. son of Mayor Rey-
burn of Philadelphia. and himself
member of the Pennsylvania assembly,
and Rogers X. Wetmore, son of United
States Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island,
are at sword point over a daughter of a
first family of Virginia who resides in
the northwest section of Washington.
Mr.. Reyburn and Mr.. Wetmore have
been close friends for years. MIR Wet
more called at detective headquarters
Monday evening and told Lieut.. Peck that
Mr.. Reyburn. had threatened his life
Detectives were sent Immediately to the
Hotel Arlington. Wetmore was given full
protection.
Mr.. Reyburn was asked by the police if
he intended to harm Mr.. Wetmore. He
denied any such purpose.
Developments of the last few days have
led few intimate friends of the young
men to apprehend that the rivalry be-
tween them might lead TO sensational
events. This belief was intensified when it
was learned that several evenings ago
Mr. Reyburn called Mr.. Wetmore over the
telephone and threatened his life.
Yes, / called upon the police depart
ment to give me full protection" said
Mr.. Wetmore when seen today al the fam
lily residence in X street northwest.
MI. Reyburn called me up and threat
ened my life continued Mr.. Wetmore.
That was good reason for my calling
upon the police department for 'protec-
ton from what seemed impending injury
Further than this Mr.. Wetmore declined
TO be quoted.
Mr.. Reyburn could not be found. A
number OF his friends declare he left the
city early today for Philadelphia.
There is no likelihood of Billy Rey-
burn harming Rogers Wetmore," said a
close friend of both young men this aft
ernoon. Both were members OF the
Taft party TO the orient several years
ago. They We're good friends at that
time
Rogers had known the young lady in
question for several years past There
was disagreement A bit later Billy
came upon the scene.
He and the young lady became close
friends. Later when Rogers renewed
his attentions there was trouble"
Both young men have a wide circle of
friends in the Capital city. In several
hotel Hobbies this afternoon the falling
out Of the former friends was discussed
In several of these groups We're MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps who are
upon friendly terms with both Mr. Wet
more and Mr.. Reyburn.

by the police and the commission 1t was
not observed that the cars ran more than
fifteen miles an hour at any time, with
possibly one or two exceptions. that air
brakes on the car will not decrease, but
rather increase. the noise and are really
not needed. The noise. ii is stated. is
caused largely by the imperfect joints and
inferior track conditions. which the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
have notified the interstate commerce
commission will be remedied in the early
spring. The noise caused by the car gear
ing can be remedied by greasing. but the
men charged with the work probably
sometimes are lax in the performance of
their duty.
The report finds that the apparatus in
use on the cars is of standard type, and
if kept in proper condition will not cause
unnecessary noise: that the railway COM
pany has given assurance that the space
between the tracks and adjoining them
is being repaired and there would be no
further delay in the work: that the extra
dust and dirt is largely due to the poor
condition of the street. and will disappear
TO a large extent when the street is re-
paired: that although there is some vi
bratiOn of the houses along the line
where the concrete foundation from the
tracks to the houses is solid. there is not
enough to cause damage. except where
the plaSterlng in house IS loose: that
the greater part of the vibration is due
TO the very poor condition of the tracks
and that when heavy rails are laid. as
promised. the vibration will be elimi-
mated. or at least reduced to a minimum.
If not, the only remedy is to reduce the
speed of the cars to. say, six or eight
miles an hour. which would doubtless not
be a popular move.
Recommendations Adopted
Mr.. Eddy's report closes with the fol-
lowing recommendations, which were
adopted by the District electric railway
commission:
That the Washington Railway and
Electric Company be ordered to keep the
equipment in operation over the line in
question in such proper condition as to
reduce to an absolute minimum the noise
complained of.
That the Washington Railway and
Electric Company be ordered to keep
the curves on the line in question suf-
ficiently we'll creased so as to reduce to
a minimum the noise occasioned by cars
passing around said curves.
THAT the Washington Railway and
Electric Company be ordered to repair as
soon as possible the cross-over on the
south side of Dupont Circle.
That the Washington Railway and
Electric Company be requested to caution
it's motorman relative to the speed at
which they operate their cars over the
line in question. especially during the
hours complained Of
1T is believed that if the above recon-
mendations are approved and carried out
and after the new rails are laid there
should be no further cause for reasonable
complaint on the matters now complained

METAL SCHEDULE TAKEN UP
MISSOURIANS ASK FOR DUTY ON
ZINC OXIDE.
Bourke Cochran and Chairman
Payne Engage in Little Tiff.
Iron Men Heard.

There was large crowd in attendance
when the hearing on the metal schedule
of the tariff was begun before the ways
and means committee this morning. Zinc
was first taken up, and S. D. Mitchell of
Carthage, Mo. and Alexander o. Ohlsins
of Oronoga Mo-. asked that calamine or
zinc oxide be removed from the free list
and assessed duty of 1a cents per
pound.
Representative Boutell brought out the
admission that the prices on zinc ore and
sheet and pig lead would be increased II
the duty should be imposed.
Don't you think If the tariff is
to be lowered to equalize the differences
in cost and labor that labor should re-
ceive all the benefits from the TARIFF"
asked Representative Champ Clark of
Missouri, who is the first member of the
committee who has not argued for the re-
quests of the interests from his own state
when those requests were for protection.
Bourke Cochran of New York was en-
deavOring to show that the protection
asked was much more than was re-
quired to equalize labor cost in this coun-
try and abroad, when Chairman Payne
asked:
rs it worth while arguing these eco
nomic facts?''
That's what I thought the purpose OF
this inquiry waste determine who shall
pay the tax asserted Mr.. Cochran. but
in view of the sensibility of the chair
man | won't proceed with my inquiry
further
Willis l.. King of Pittsburg. who is a
member of the committee appointed in
New York yesterday by the leading pig
iron interests. was the first to speak or
the iron and steel schedule. He asked
that iron and steel bars be similarly
classified and that the duty on steel bars
should be increased one-tenth of a cent
Mr.. King suggested reduction of two
tenths of a cent in the duty on iron bars
