ENDS PAY-As-YOU-ENTER RULE.
Woman Who Swallows Nickel Re-
spOnsibIe for sudden switch.

Pittsburg. Dec d.-When Mrs. Annie
Meyers, weight $50 pounds with packages
under each arm and her car fare be-
tween her teeth. tried to board a street
car at Fifth avenue and SmithheId street,
this afternoon. a crisis was precipitated
that caused an immediate end TO the
"pay-as-y -you-enteT' order on Pittsburg
street cars. The conductor tried TO get
the nickel, made a miss and pushed il
down the womans throat. A hurry call
brought an ambulance, and the woman
was taken home. At last accounts, she
was a nickel In.
Word Of the accident was at once sent
to President Gallery. of the railway COM
pany. He threw up both hands, and
within fifteen minutes word was passed
to the conductors that the order to
compel payment before the passengers
entered the cars was off indefinitely
PittsbUrg has never put in such a
strenuous twenty-four hours as it did
since the pay-in-advance order went into
effect The majority of conductors were
able 10 explain without causing trouble,
but some handled passengers roughly in
demanding fares. They gave no ex-
PLANTATION, and rows were frequent. But
it was not until Mrs. Meyers tried to
board a car that the protests of the pub
lie were needed,

SUBMIT DISTRICT BILLS.
Commissioners Recommend Lext.-

secretary Walker. Of the Senate Com
mittee on the District of Columbia. has
received from the District Commissioners
Three bills bearing upon District affairs
which the board desires to have intro
duced in the Senate. Senator GaIllnger
chairman Of the committee, is al present
enjoying his vacation at his home in Con
cord. y. II. and IS not expected To return
to Washington before Friday or Satur-
day, but it Is probable that at the earliest
opportunity he will introduce the bills. as
requested
One gives the Commissioners authority
to furnish a duplicate Of any official pa
pers. deeds. or similar documents which
may have been lost or destroyed. another
proposes to put ali offices in the gift of
the District government under the opera
ton of the civil service laws. thus requir-
ing that all candidates for such offices
shall attain them only through means OF
competitive examinations; but a provision
is included in the bill giving the Presi-
dent power to make such exemptions
from the proposed law as he may desire
The third bill proposes TO provide for
the extension OF Nineteenth street north
west from Belmont road 10 Biltm0re
street. Action for this purpose has twice
been taken, but I'm one instance the result
did not satisfy the property owners, and
in the other the District appealed from
the decision Of the jury Of condemnation.
1t is now proposed to enact a new law
which shall repeal the former one and
enable the property TO be appropriated TO
be considered as single piece Of ground,
with the object of arriving at a final and
satisfactory conclusion Of the matter.

DEMOCRATS ON EQUAL TERMS.
Atlanta Constitution Agrees with
The Washington HeraId's Idea

AAS W1shtuEton HFEak~ A~S-
With reference to the call for the DEM
oeratie convention, the Atlanta Constitu-
tion says:
''The Washington Herald calls attention
to the following clause in Chairman Tag
gart's call for the Democratic eonyen-
ton. as one which has provoked consider
able discussion among Democratic news
papers:
All Democratic citizens OF the United
States, irrespective of past political asso-
Citations or differences, who can unite with
Us in the effort for a pure. economic. con-
stitutional government, are cordially in
yited TO join us in sending delegates to
the convention
"The Herald cites newspapers here and
there that regard this opening wide OF the
Democratic door as an invitation to and
opportunity for 'anti-Bryan' Democrats
to participate in the convention, on terms
Of perfect equality with the delegates who
are adherents Of the NebTaskan.
THE Herald also declares that nothing
could be more desirable. since such pro-
cedure will give Democrats from other
sections of the country an opportunity for
discovering the reasons for Bryan's
strength In the South and West.
The Constitution is not concerned with
this particular Interpretation Of Chairman
Taggart's language though it has its ad-
yantages.
The main point is that the call. issued
in all good faith. is a plea for Democratic
unity irrespective of past political asso-
Citations or differences.
chickering's, fGctlonalism, the tendency
to regard one wing Of the party as para
mount and to let it rice roughshod over
