The committee demanded formal assur-

NJ. Clemenceau replied that the govern

but must refuse any promises.
The committee then asked whether NM.
Simonet and Granger, two OF the strike
leaders, who INDUCED I'm most infiamma

categorically refused. and he moreover

times that IF the car does not hurry

very nervous, got off the car, but the
other two men remained on the platform
until the car reached the corner OF gun

from inside OF the car and put him on

nearly two feet at Mount Lowe. All day

feet of snow, the canyons are filled and
the trails are obliterated.

ANOTHER BIG CAPITOL SUBWAY
EXTENSION TO G. P. o. AND
UNION STATION PROPOSED.
Would Connect With New Post Of.
fee and House and Senate
Office Buildings.

Representative Greene's resolution di-
recting Supt. Woods. in charge of the Cap
itol building and grounds, to report on
the most practical method for under
ground transportation between the Capt.
toll. the Senate and House office buildings,
the Union station. the proposed new Post
Office building and the government print
ing Office, has brought a reply.
Mr.. Woods has written to Representa-
tive Bartholdt. chairman of the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds, approving the general scheme
and suggesting plans and estimates.
II find that it is entirely feasible" said
Mr.. Woods, land that the struction OF
subway would not cross the line of
private property; hence the right of way
would cost nothing"
He roughly estimates that there would
be 1900 lineal feet of construction and
that the approximate cost would be
$500 900.
His plans call for a new subway di-
rectly between the Senate and House Of
flee buildings in addition to the present
subways connecting the Capitol with
these two buildings. They also call for
a subway from the Senate office building
to the government printing office, thus
connecting the Capitol and the House Of
flee buildings with the printing office.
Similarly he proposes subways to the
Union station and the new post Office
building, which would branch out from
the main line to the government printing
Office.
He suggests as system of transporta-
ton either a narrow gauge railroad or a
monorail system. both to be operated by
electricity. He estimates that the former
with cars would cost about $4,000 and
the latter $4,000.
The immense volume of both freight
and passenger business which the pro-
posed subways would certainly carry. in
Mr.. Woods opinion. makes construction
desirable.
