Proposed to Give the Suburban Rail-
way Lines Access to the New.

Suburban Railway Extension.
Senator Bankhead yesterday afternoon
introduced an amendment TO House bill
1243S granting permission TO suburban
railroads to extend their lines into the
heart of the city. Probably this is the
most important local railroad measure
next to the Union station bill which has
been introduced in this session OF Con-
gress. The bill to which it is offered as
an amendment has already passed the
House.
This amendment grants to the East
Washington Heights Traction Railroad
Company the right to extend its line 10
the Union station. The controlling in
terest of the railroad Is owned by the
United States Realty Company. of which
Col Arthur f. Randle is president. The
passage of this amendment means much
to the suburban railroads. 1t will permit
The East Washington Heights Traction
Railroad Company. the Great Falls and
Old Dominion, the Washington. Balti-
mora and Annapolis Railroad Company
and the Capital Railway Company TO
run their cars into tire heart of the city
At present these roads cannot enter the
city although other suburban lines have
the right to run their cars To Eth ana
Pennsylvania avenue.
Col Randle has already secured several
amendments to the East Washington
Heights Traction Railroad Company char
ter among which is a right 10 run his
cars across Pennsylvania avenue bridge.
The passage OF this amendment means
much to the suburban railroads and also
to the city of Washington, ii will
ena BILE the city to expand in every drec
ton. So that citizens living in the sub
urbs can come into the center OF Wash
ington without change of ears.
Senator Johnson introduced A hill to
provide for stricter observance of Sun
day as a day of rest in the District. The
bill makes 1T unlawful for any person to
engage in fishing. hunting. horse racing.
or other public sports. exercises or shows.
or in any theatrical. equestrian circus
or other performances for pay. Fifty dol
lars fine or three months in jail is the
penalty provided.
Senator Frye yesterday introduced a bill
proposing to pay Mrs Mary s. FERGUSON
of this city $4,000. This is equal to one
years salary at the rate OF pay which
was received at the time of his death by
her husband. the late Arthur w. Fergus

A Good Reason Putnam People Can Tell You
 Why It Is So

Deans Kidney Pills cure the cause of disease, and that Is why the cures are always lasting. This remedy strengthens and tones up the Kidneys, be,ninp them to drive out of the body the liquid poisons that cause backache, headache and distressing kidney and urinary complaints. Putnam people testify to permanent cures.
 Mrs Dennis Cady, of 6s School st., Putnam. Conn, says: "For three or four wears my husband had severe mains in the small of his back "nieh prevented him from sleeping well a1 night. A day or two before storm he always noticed that the pains were worse. and when he caught coid tle ,,oph,e was also greatly aggray atea' Added to this there was an annoyihs difficulty from the kidney ssecrelions' He ,,sed many remedies but got no re- ,,afuutil he began taking Doan's Mid nev Pills, procured al Dressers drug store Their use stopped the kidney difficulty and banished me DacA- aches .a

DEMING'S NEW
RAIL r @ AID
Everything Points Favor
ably Toward Its Con-
structiOn.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 8.-Fay-
cite Jones, Of Albuquerque, N.
NJ, a well known engineer of
tie territory, has left Ell Paso
for Columbus, New Meyi"c
where he will head a party
of engineers who will make a
preliminary survey northward
through western New Mexico in
the interest of the proposed
north end south road connecting
FL Paso with the extensive coal
fields in San Juan county, New
Mexico. The northern terminus
Of the proposed road will be
either Durango, Colorado, or
Pennington, New Mexico.
The engineering party expects
to srend four months on the
read, and the proposed route will
be through Luna and Grant
counties, the Gila forest re-
serve, east Of the Mogollon
mountains, through Socorro,
Valencia and Mckinley counties
and into the San Juan coal fields.
| The road will run through a
territory, most of it many miles
from any other railroad, and
aside from connecting FL Paso
and vicinity, with the coal fields
of the north, will also develop a
business along its line in mining
and other industries which will
open up a part of the territory
at present comparatively I'M
known.
A. 0. Bailey, Of Columbus,
who is one Of the principal pro-
moters of the proposed road,
verified the story that Mr.. Jones
was taking out a party of engi'
neers, and stated that this
would make the second party the
promotion company had in the
field, as the other left about ;
month ago.
