IF Congress will pass a law prohib-
iting persons from boarding cars that
are filled. my company will run more
cars and take care Of the street car
traffic during the rusb hours, for we
have the cars now" said President
Dunlop Of the Capital Traction Com
pany. before a meeting Of the District
Committee Of the House yesterday
morning.
This statement was made after the
companies had been severely arraigned
for their inability to handle the bust
ness. by Representative Hepburn, of
Iowa, not a member Of the committee,
but invited to attend the meeting with
Mr.. Madden, Of Illinois, owing to the
fact that both men are interested in
local street car legislation.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose Of seeing If the bill for tracks to
the Union Station could not be put
through without being incumbered
with amendments that may preclude
the passage Of any bill. Mr.. Madden

and the session will be continued on
Thursday.
Hepburn Scores Companies.
Mr.. Hepburn was not at all sparing
OF the companies. He said he never
was able to get a seat and insisted
more and larger cars should be oper-
ated. His attention was called by
Messrs. Dunlop and Harries of the two
car companies, to a law which pro-
vides cars shall not run closer than
200 feet II was then Mr. Dunlop made
his proposition. which seemed 10 meet
with some favor in the committee Mr..
Hepburn and Mr. Kahn discussed the
subject OF street car systems in COM
parison with the European systems
This included the question OF no seat

question Of graded fare was also dis
cussed. but thought impracticable
There is no place in Europe" said
Mr.. Kahn where the street car services
are as good as In Washington. but the
service here should be on d par with any
in this country. It is q big question, and
one that cannot be settled IN a day. The
companies. as well as the public. have
rights that must be respected. and so
far as 1 am concerned, the matter will
be heard on ali sides before any action
is taken. for VS. want TO take a bill TO

Madden for Transfers.
Concerning the question Of universal
transfers, some members Of the committee
Incline 70 the belief that the companies
cannot be compelled to give such trans

required at the time the franchises are
granted. Three-cent fares, too. came in
for their share Of discussion, and Mr..
Madden announced that he viii insist
upon a transfer amendment, that pro-
vides a penalty Of SIS fine for refusal on
the part of conductors TO issue such
transfers. The 'Jim crow" question did
not come up for discussion.
From the insistencs Of other members
that they will submit amendments TO the

BOGUS AMERICAN GOES UP
Colonel Schiemangk Will Do Three
Year Stunt in Prison in the
Kaiser's Country.

Berlin, Feb. ia bogus American,
Colonel Schiemangk, has been SEN
fenced by the criminal court to three
years imprisonment, the loss of his
civil rights for five years after his re-
lease and to perpetual police supervi-
sion, as well & - pay a fine of $500.
Schiemangk was convicted of whole
sale marriage swI les by means of an
advertisement, whereby he succeeded in
obtaining considerable sums of money
from women.
Schiemangk was born in Germany,
but served in the First artillery. U. S.
A He was promoted to non-commis-
sined officer, but finally deserted. He is
an accomplished linguist and repre-
sented himself as Count Maximillian de
Passy. He asserted that he was a solo
mel in the American army and was act
ing military attache at the American
embassy in Berlin. BY the display of
fraudulent bills and checks to the face
value of millions he managed to delude
several women into seeking q brilliant
marriage.

that the man had already served terms

carrying out his schemes. The latter
was sentenced to six months in pris-

NtWSBOYS At THE GRAND
Youngsters Will Have Rare Treat at
Theatrical Performance
This Evening.

1t will be the time of their lives, the
time of the actors lives and the time of
the lives of a good many more, when the
Grand theatre tonight will be invaded by
horde of newsbOys, bootblacks, messen-
ger boys and street urchins of ali kinds.
The management of the Grand theatre
has given its word that no kid will be
barred from seeing the performance of
What Women Will Do" the bill at the
Grand this week, and a good one, too, IL
is said.
How many youngsters will be at the
Grand tonight in response to the invita-
ton extended by Manager Clarence A.
Anderson, of course, is purely a matter of
conjecture. There ought to be a lot. A
section of the balcony has been set apart
for them, and it has been seen to that
this section is large enough to accommo-
date all who are entitled to attend.
The motive power for this event is 10
be furnished by the redOubtable Kid
Bernstein. Manager Anderson has left
the maTshaling of the youngsters to this
leader of the Juvenile bands of the street,
and has given the word that none save
those who wear the Endorsement of the
Kid may enter. The Kid, with a full Of
fetal staff, and a retinue of amazing pro-
portions. will be at the corner of Main
and First South streets at o'clock. pre-
pared TO lead the hosts upon the Grand.
Any kid who isn't at the meeting point at
the hour will first have to explain before
he will be permitted to fall in line. SO
il behooVes the lads to he right on time
when the Kid drops the flag.
What Women Will Do may not inter-
est the waits so much at this time of life
at what they will not do-buying papers.
for example. But there is one thing GER

gIOCAI MARKETS.
~ % ~

The incidents of chief account on the
local markets during the week were the
arrival of pineapples direct from Hawaii
and the increase in the price of butter.
There are Holsters on the market. too
particularly fine ones for % cents the
pound, although some dealers still quote
them at so cents.
The price of butter is now s. cents the
pound, or two pounds for So cents. The
wholesale price has been quoted up to
yesterday at 26 cents, but it is expected
that the next quotation will rule at IS
cents on account of the scarcity, it is
said.
There is no gainsaying the fact that the
Hawaiian pineapples are beauties and
that they are the most striking thing that
meets the eye. They are a direct ship
ment from the Sandwich islands. They
weigh approximately six pounds each. and
are quoted at 50 cents each.
Tomatoes are off the market temper
arily. although there are a few still re-
manning that are quoted at 20 cents. There
has been some call for pears at 10 cents
the pound. They are the Utah product.
At wholesale there has, been a decline
of 81 a ton i'm alfalfa, the price quoted now
being Sl2, instead of si3. The tendency of
grain is upward. A summary of the week s
price changes is included in these quo
tationS:

Committee of New York Board
of Education Advocates
Corporal Punishment.

New York. Feb. 13.-Unless the board
of education goes contrary to the rec
concentrations of its special committee
on the ACCESSIBILITY of restoring corporal
punishment to the public school sys-
tenn, insubordinate youngsters may be
disciplined with old fashioned spank
ings hereafter The board will hold a
special meeting March to consider
the report of the special committee.
After receiving answers from 470 su-
perintendents and principals of New
York city schools, as well az from out
side pedagogues, to a set of questions
designed to bring out a popular ex-
preston on the subject, the special
committee today submitted it's report
to the board. Part of the report was
as follows:
This committee is of the opinion
that corporal punishment should be
permitted in our schools in extreme
cases only, under strict regulations,
and that it should be administered by
the principal with the written consent
of the parents or else by a parent in
the presence of the principal. Where
parents refuse to give their consent or
refuse to punish a child themselves,
in the presence of the principal, we be-
lieve the principal should at once re-
port such child to the city superintend-
ent for suspension and when suspended
the child should be sent to a truant
school or a school for ineorrigibles."
OF the 470 answers, go favored the
restoration of corporal punishment,
while 200 voted against ii.

MENACE TO PUBLIC HEALTH
Alaska Natives With Contagious Dis
eases Allowed to Travel at Will
in That Territory.

Washington, Feb. ia report of a
startling nature in regard to interior
conditions in Alaska was received by
the senate today from United States
Judge Gunnison at Juneau. He said
that the impOssibility of making ma
tives understand contagion constitut-
ed a menace to the entire population
of Alaska, including the whites. He
strongly urged the passage of legisla-
ton empowering territorial authorities
to enforce sanitary regulations. Judge
Gunnison said that under his instruc-
tions the grand jury had made an in
vestigation, which showed that natives
suffering from contagious diseases are
permitted to travel at will, occupying
the same railroad coaches with white
citizens and lod-ing at the same no
tells. The report showed that tuber-
culosis and trachoma, as well as other
contagious diseases, are common
among the natives, and that they dis
regard all rules of sanitation.
