WILL ASK FOR FIGURES.
Commission Seeks Information From
the Brightwood Company.

The Brightwood Railway Company
will be asked by the interstate COM
merce commission to produce figures to
support adequately its claim that finan-
cial reasons prevent the operation of
through cars from the heart Of the city
to Brightwood and Takoma Park.
At a special meeting of the District
electric railway commission that course
Of action was decided on and H. c. Eddy.
the executive officer. was instructed to
ask the information in the name Of the
interstate commerce commission.
In making the query Of the Brightwood
company the commission is complying
with a request by officers Of the Bright
wood Citizens Association q few days
ago. The officers read the letter Of Gen.
George H. Harries. vice president of the
Brightwood Railway Company, stating
that for financial reasons the through
service could not be installed. The
Brightwood people characterized the let
ter as vague and unsatisfactory" and
suggested that the commission obtain the
figures mentioned.
At the last meeting CT the commission
it was decided to secure a bill Of sale to
show the relations existing between the
Brightwoods Railway Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. Commissioner H. l.. West stated
yesterday that all the papers on record
showing the relationship between the
two companies had been obtained by the
commits; ION, but these did not help In
the solution of the problem.

Of the cables that passed between Bishop
Brent and myself relating to his election
to the see Of Washington. 1t now APP

25th of May to this effect: Advise Nc
Kim desirable to await arrival OF mail,
unless prompt action is Imperative
This dispatch l saw last night for the
should. of course. have replied: Await
the mail The bishop, however. receiving
no reply, concluded that he should not
await the mail and sent his answer June
5. In his letter of August to me he
says: 1t is too bad, for it would have
reached you. He adds: Where the mis-
take was made / cannot say; probably in
Manila in transcribing.
He further says: Whatever mistakes
have happened the issue could not
have been otherwise There is no room
for regrets

of the other members of the standing
