method of hauling prisoners. Some of the
officials have ridden in the auto patrol
wagon i'm Atlantic City and are i'm a post
ton to realize just what can be accom-
plished with such vehicle.
When the new wagon is brought here
an experienced man will be placed in
charge to instruct man already in the
department. SO that the change will not
mean getting rid of a driver or two and
the employment of chauffeurs who al
ready understand how to handle them.
The first horseless vehicle of the de-
partment Is to be put in service in the
second precinct because Capt. Peck has
a suitable place for 1t. 1t was Maj Syl-
vester's desire to have it perform duty
in one of the precincts in the business
section. but under existing conditions he
found it impracticable to do so. He hopes
some day the department will get money
enough for fhe construction of central
station to take the place of the present
alleged insanitary first precinct building.
Then he will have. the architects make
suitable provision for the keeping Of
motor patrol wagon.
Eventually, if the experiment proves
success, such vehicle will be provided in
each precinct. and police officials feel
that they will be able to facilitate the
handling of prisoners and policemen. In
cases of emergency, they say, 1t will
be possible to make good speed and pos
sibly be the means of saving life or
preventing the escape of criminals.

OPPOSES LISTING OUR STOCK
FRENCH DEPUTY WANTS NONE
ON PARIS BoURsE.
M. Jaures Declares Too Much Money
Is Already Being Taken
Out Of France.

PARIS, August 21.-The Humanite to-
day publishes an article by M. Jaures.
the socialist leader in the chamber Of
deputies, in which the writer explains
his proposal to interpellate the govern
ment regarding the project to quote Off
cially in France American speculative
stocks, but notably the common stock
OF the United States Steel Corporation.
This Interpolation will come up I'm Oc-
tober
M Jaures charges that under the guise
OF obtaining for France the minimum
rates under the new American tariff the
french government contemplates permit
ting the listing of Steel common on the
Par!s bourse. This. he contends. is a
result of the raid upon French savings
pv American spectators, who long have
been anxious to get access to French
money. Irrespective of the chances of
heavy losses through speculative invest.
ment' which M. Jaures considers likely,
ne insists that the policy Of allowing
French money to go abroad to Russia and
other foreign countries is wrong, as this
money is needed in France for the de-
velopnlent of French industries and the
ameIloration of social conditions. He de-
clares that the settlement of the tarifp
differences between the two countries
should be in accordance with the inter
ests of the states, irrespective of outside
considerations
In conneetion with the above, 1t is semi
onclaily denied in Paris today that the
question of the listing Of the shares of
the United States Steel Corporation ever
has been the subject of negotiations he

ELECTRIC FOR STEAM power
PROJECT TO EQUIP CHEsA-
PEAKE BEACH ROAD REVIVED.
Presence of Moffatt's Manager in
City Gives New Impetus to
Modernizing Line.

The project for equipping the Chesa-
peake Beach railroad with electric power.
which has been discussed more or less
frequently for several years past. seems
now to be approaching realization. Off
GERS and directors Of the road from sew
eral distant cities are in Washington at
the present time, and they have made
inspection trips over the railroad to de-
termine upon the final details. w. r.
Jones of Denver, Col, president of the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company, is
actively behind the proposition, and he is
being assisted in working out the details
of the proposed improvement by H. L..
Doherty, chief engineer, and by A. B.
Roeder, consulting engineer of the Mof-
fatt lines in Colorado.
Estimates have been made that fully
S475,OOO will be required to transform the
steam railroad into a trolley line over
its entire length from Chesapeake Beach
to the District line.
Present Track Utilized.
The present track of the railroad will
be utilized, so that the major portion of
the expenditure will be for the erection
of trolley poles and the stretching of the
wire and the building of power house
There is at present an electric power
plant at Chesapeake Beach which fur
nishes the lights for that resort.
According to President Jones, the loca-
ton of the power house has not yet been
decided upon. 1t is likely to be built at
the District terminal Of the railroad.
President Jones, who is also general
traffic manager Of the Denver, North
western and Pacific railroad, the Moffatt
Colorado railway, arrived in Washington
several days ago from Denver, and is
stopping at the New Willard. He was
accompanied by Chief Engineer Doherty,
who is also connected with the North
western system, and Consulting Engineer
Roeder, who Is chief engineer of the
Southern Pacific railway. 1t is given out
that the engineers will remain in Wash
ington until the work is we'll under way.
The Chesapeake Beach railroad has
carried approximately 25O,O00 passengers
during the present season, but it's officers
believe that the existing service, which Is
the best that can be given with the pres
ent equipment, Is too slow When the
line is operated by electricity, it is de-
clared. cars will be run during rush
hours in the summer season every fifteen
minutes.

MOTOR PATROL AFTER OCT. |
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE
STYLISH JAG WAGON.
Experienced Chauffeur to Be Placed
in Charge-One for Each
Precinct, Maybe.

1t is probable that the police depart
ment will have it's motor patrol wagon
in service shortly after October I, Maj
Sylvester having awarded the contract
several weeks ago.
81 suppose it will be an elephant on our
hands for a few weeks" remarked a po-
lice official this morning. but when a
competent chauffeur gets hold and under
stands the running of it, 1 presume the
vehicle will be overworked."
Local police officials have seen some
what similar vehicles in other jurisdic-
tions. and know other departments would
not like to go back to the antiquated
