To TIE Editor Of The Washington Times:
Is there no way by which the people
of Washington can prevent damage 10
their homes and loss of property values
which, we believe, will be caused by
the running of heavy cars by the Wash
ington. Annapolis and Baltimore rail
way on the tracks of the Columbia rail-
road.
You know. Mr.. Editor. and all others
know, that the vibration caused by the
running of these heavy cars will be a
serious damage to the buildings along
the route. The danger TO life and limb
win be a menace TO those OF us
who have made our homes along the
proposed route. The noise and dirt will
be a detriment TO the development Of
the city near the line Of this railway.
1t is only recently that the people
of this city at an expense OF millions
of dollars, were delivered cf the evils
and dangers Of the steam railway
grade crossings: and yet. here is a far
greater evil, far greater danger and a
far greater nuisance. calmly being per-
mitted by the Commissioners.
Why is 1t that this proposed danger
ana nuisance was authorized without a
hearing of those most affected by it?
Why was not some heed given to the
protests of the citizens and property
holders along the route?
In answer to a letter from citizen
protesting against these heavy cars be-
Ing allowed 10 use the II street tracks,
the Commissioners assured the writer
that they would give due consideration
to the protest. But a month after the
date of that letter. and after permission
to run cars was given, the writer was
notified that the Commissioners did not
see any necessity 10 give q hearing to
those opposed to the project. Why not?
Is not the property, the danger to life
OF the people along the line Of the Co
lumbia railway worth even a hearing?
Have they no rights which should be
protected? We ssk you. Mr. Editor. to
publish this letter and investigate this
action of the Commissioners.

Omaha Business Men Take Hand In
Trouble.
Omaha, Sept. 30.-The governors of
the knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben, whose an
nual festival has just begun, held a
conference with President Wattles of
the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street
Railway company to urge the neces-
sity of settlement OF the strike, or
at least the declaration of a truce
during the two weeks of the festival
The Ak-Sar-Ben is an organization OF
Omaha business men and includes
practically every prominent firm IN
the city.
The strike leaders promised the Ak
Sar-Ben governors, that the strikers
would waive recognition of the union
and would promptly return to work
provided the company would agree to
arbitrate the questions at issue.
At the meeting President Wattles
declared that his company would not
agree to the proposed truce and subse
quent arbitration, He assured his Wis
itors, however, that the car service
would be ample to care for the fes
tival crowds.

VIOLATION OF THE
OPEN DOOR POLICY
United States Protests Against
no-Japanese Treaty.

Toxic, Sept. 30.-A special dispatch
from Washington to the Asahi de-
clares that the American government
will soon file an official protest against
the recently concluded convention be-
tween Japan and China giving Japan
q mining monopoly in Manchuria. The
dispatch maintains further that Amer
lea desired to procure, an interest in
the monopoly and regards Japan's
failure to consult Washington in the
matter as breach Of good faith.
The dispatch declares that the Man
.churian convention is regarded as a
distinct violation of the "open door,
policy, to which Japan was pledged.
The matter, has excited great deal
of comment in official circles and the
press, but the whole story Is denied on
high authority.
Baron Kagora Takahira, who is
generally supposed to have been re-
l1eved of his post as Japanese ambas'
sador to the United States on &C.
count of his failure to make the Man
churian policy of his government
pleasing to Washington, was received
in audience by the emperor and en-
press.

the accident
Considerable mystery surrounds
Miss Lord. She was beautiful wo-
man of evident refinement and up to
two years ago lived for a time at the
Aberdeen, st. Pauls fashionable apart

meaned herself like a woman of
wealth, though she appeared to have
no intimate friends in St. Paul who
can tell anything about her or her
relatives.

GENERAL GRANT
DEFENDS ACTION
Says He Had Right to Lead
Chicago Parade.
NO REGULATION VIOLATED

Army Officer Declares Il Was Not a
Temperance Affair, but a Demon
* stration in Favor Of Good Govern.
nent and Law and Order-Assuml
That No Official Action on the Part
Of the War Department Will Be
Taken in the Matter.
Washington, Sept. 30.-'Tt was not
a temperance parade, but a demon
stration In favor of good government
and law and order, and should have
been derelict in my duty if I had not,
when requested, headed the parade as
did and I shall continue until pro-
hibited to do the same thing when,
ever deem it necessary to advance
the cause of good government"
This is the substance of a state
ment made by General Frederick D.
Grant In answer to letter sent by
w. R. Michaelis of Chicago, member
of the executive board of the United
Societies for Local Self-Government.
The letter, which was addressed to
the secretary of war, criticised Gen.
eral Grant for having appeared in full
uniform in so called temperance
parade in that city last Saturday. Gen.
eral Grant added that there was no
law, written or unwritten, or regula-
ton that in any way abridged his
right to wear his uniform on any occa-
sion he saw fit and he assumed that
no official action on the part of the
war department would be taken in the
matter.
General Grant has been in attend
ance on the Hudson-Fulton celebration
in New York and in returning to Chi
cago stopped over to visit his son,
Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant of the
corps of engineers, now stationed in
this city.
Officials of the. war department
could not recall an instance in which
the right of an officer to appear in
uniform on an unofficial occasion had
been called into question. While there
was no regulation or even unwritten
law on the subject it seemed to be the
opinion of some of the department Off.
Gals that an officer should not wear
his uniform for an unofficial occasion
when wearing it would cause criti-
oiSm.

FLOOD IN SOUTHERN WALES

Hundreds of Families Rendered Tenn
porariIy Homeless.
London, Sept. 3O.-An inundation in
Southern Wales has rendered hun
dreds of families temporarily home
less. The floods were caused by the
River Avon bursting it's banks in con-
sequence of unprecedented rain
storms.
Practically the entire town Of Aber-
avon,: with a population of 5000. is
under water, the depth of which varies
from two to six feet. So far as is
known only one man has been
drowned, but the financial losses are
heavy.

COMMERCIAL CLUB Committee HAS DONE
GOOD WORK.

The Bemidji Pioneer directs the
attention of its readers to the impor-
lance of meeting the Soo's terms in
order to assure the passage of the
line through that city. The 500
doubtless recognizes the Importance
of Bemidji as a commercial center,
but appreciates that it is essential
to have the. support of the business
interests. Bemidji business men
will make good.-Duluth News
Tribune.
Bemidji business men will un-
doubtedly make good" all right,
but it has been necessary to do a
strenuous lot of hustling in order to
Undue some of the progressive resi-
dents of this city with the fact that
it is absolutely necessary to pur-
chase the right-of-way in order to
secure the 500, and that the 500 is
not coming here whether we get
the right-of-way or not.
The Pioneer believes that the
business men of Bemidji are to be
sincerely congratulated on the very
unostentlous manner in which the
building of the 500 into this city
has been handled by the committee
of the commercial club which has
been in charge.
Very little was said, at the start,
as to what the commercial club
would try to do in the matter. The
committee which was appointed
proved equal to the occasion and
has given the city very valuable ser.
vices in breaking the determination
of the 500 to pass this city and use
an airline from Moose Lake tc
Plummer, passing to the north Of
Bemidji several miles.

GOVERNORS NAME WAS OIL SON,

An interesting fact about Governor
Eberhardt is that his name originally
was was Olson, says the Brainerd
Dispatch. But there were in Man
kato, where he lived, half a dozen
or more Adolph Olsons, and, as a re-
suit, there were many instances of
confusion of identity, not the least
OF these being errors in the delivery
of important mail. So when the
future state official was married he
asked the court to permit him to
take the name of his wife, a petition
that was granted and since then he
has been Adolph O. Eberhardt.
