REGULATION OF STREET CARS.
Suggestions Received by District
Railway Commission.

The session of the District electric
railway commission yesterday afternoon
was taken up with the consideration or
mirror complaints and suggestions re-
specting the local street railways. One
correspondent suggested that the street
car companies be required to sprinkle
and keep clean their own lines OF car
tracks, a matter over which the commits
sion has no jurisdiction: another that
the. companies be required to distinctively
mark their cars according to the west
ern system" with triangles squares, cir
cies and discs, to prevent confusion where
one or more lines pass over the same
streets: but the commission took no ac-
ton in the case. Complaints were receiv-
ed against flat wheels" on cars on the
Berwyn and Brookland lines. The COM
mission has already been apprised of the
facts and the company is now repairing
the Objectionable cars.
1t was reported that the East Wash
ington Heights Traction Company had
been the f1rst of the compa 10 COM
ply with the order Of the Interstate COM
merce commission to submit complete
data concerning cars and equipments.
None Of the companies has yet COM
piled with the order to show cause why
trailers should not be abolished. They
are allowed until September 1 to comply
with this order. One complainant refer
ring to the order of the interstate COM
merce commission requiring trailers to
be heated said 1t would be far better to
make an order abolishing the trailers
entirely.

CHINESE BOY AGAIN IN COURT
DECLINES TO REMAIN WITH HIS
UNCLE, LEE DE MoY.
Seems to Want a Home With an
American Family-Tem-
porarily Committed.

Lee Pong, the fourteen-year-old Chinese
boy who has had the Juvenile Court in a
quandary for several days. and who was
yesterday placed in the custody of his
uncle. Lee De Moy. en- technical proba-
tion of six months. was in court again
this afternoon. When taken to the home
of his unc.e yesterday afternoon he re-
fused to stay there. nor would he go to
the home o. cousin. He was taken
back to the house of detention and when
presented in court this afternoon. an
nounced that he wanted to be placed with
some American family. He was accord
ingly sent to the Working Boys Home
be found for him.
Lee Pong was brought before the court
originally at the instance of his uncle,
who charged him with incorrlgibiiity.
When crosS-questoned. however, De Moy
did not make very clear case against the
youngSter from legal viewpoint, and
the court concluded that his chief object
was to be relieved o. responsibility and
expense.
The case was heard by Judge DeLacey.
who came in from his vacation for the
purpose. Judge Callan occupied the
bench with him. The two juriStS had al
hours consultation on the case at the
home of Judge Callan.
Because of the unexpected turn in the
case the board of children's guardians
and the Industrial Home School. to
which Judge Callan was disposed to COM
NIT the lad, were relieved of all re-
sponsbility. Supt Skinner of the Home
School and Agent Sisco of the board of
guardians were both on hand to watch
Developments in the case.
In cross-questioning De Moy. Judge De
Lacey brought out the facts that the
lad, one of the brightest youngsters that
has ever appeared in the court, has been
in this city only since last fall, and that
he was brought here from San Francisco
by his uncle. The judge admonished
De Moy that under the law he was
bound to take care of the lad and could
not make him burden on the taNpay-
ers. 1t seemed from De Moy's testimony
that the chief cause of complaint was
that the lad refused to work or live at
places that he did not like. Little Lee
testified that his uncle beat him and
once kicked him. He said he was born
in San Francisco, that he had gone to
school there and had visited China.
De Moy was ordered by the court to
provide the boy with a good home. ac-
cording to American ideas. 1t was inn
pressed upon him that failure to do this
would lead to his own arrest.

Maj. Sylvester Issues Order to Local
Policemen.

In cases of street car accidents it is
not an uncommon thing to witness a
policeman, passengers or pedestrian ms
making an effort to direct the work OF
remedying the trouble. as IL they knew
more about such matters than persons
who are paid to know about them.
Such instances have come to the at.
tention of Maj. Sylvester, superintend-
ent Of police, and for the guidance OF
members Of the force in such matters
in the future he has issued an order
The order reads:
Tn emergencies where electricity is
the power to be controlled, such as in
railroad tie-ups. members of the force
should at all times defer to the su-
perior judgment of expert employees OF
the companies operating and not place
themselves In q position to be criti.
cised for interference in technical mat
ters.
AT the same time, members OF the
force in the absence of competent serv-
ice otherwise will do all in their power
to avoid injury to persons and prop
erty by keeping the crowds back and
taking such action as may be proper
with due regard for the security of all
interests to be subserved.

About 1900 persons enjoyed the outing
last evening aboard the steamer James
town, on the occasion of the excursion
of the Washington Playground Associa-
ton. Although the above number took
the trip. great many more tickets had
been sold, as the majority were purchased
by those interested in the work which
the association is carrying on in this
city.
The weather conditions were ideal. de-
spite the early threats of rain. which
undoubtedly deferred many from attend
ing. The more venturesome. however, had
reason to congratulate themselves as
the evening ride to Indian Head was
attended by ideal conditions.
Prof. Haley's Orchestra supplied music
for the dancers all the way down and
back, while a section of the United States
Marine Band played for the general en-
tertainment of the excursionists. A
feature of the outing was an exhibition
of articles made by the children of the

tfon of committee composed of Arthur

HIGH PRICES FOR CRABS.
Brackish Water in the River Brings
Crustaceans Above Glymont.

For the first time in many years hard
crabs caught in the Potomac above Gly-
mont were on sale at the 11th street
wharf market this morning. Aboard the
steamer Estelle Randall, which arrived
here last night, was a barrel of crabs
caught in the trap nets of II. H. Senne,
located in the vicinity of Craney Island
and in the mouth of Occoquan bay, two
miles or more above Glymont. The crabs
were in prime condition. and brought
the highest market price this morning.
The crabs caught in the upper river
are reported to be very fat. and in much
better condition than those caught thirty
miles farther down the river. and the
fishermen working nets above Glymont
are catching them by the thousands daily.
In a dry summer it is not uncommon
for crabs to be caught In the vicinity of
Glymont, but they are generally small
and few in number. and remain in the
upper river but a short time. This sum-
mer owing to the lack of heavy rains.
the water in the river is brackish almost
to this city, and crabs have been in the
river within twenty miles of this city al
most constantly throughout the summer.
