CRITICISED AS DANGEROUS
PROPOSED CAR TENDERS AND
WHEEL GUARDS OPPOSED.
Hearing of Railway Companies Be-
fore Thomas W. Smith Of Dis
trict Railway Commission.

Representatives of street railway COM
panies. in a hearing before Thomas w.
Smith of the District electric railway COM
mission yesterday afternoon. contended
that compliance with rule numbered one.
of the rules and regulations promulgated
by the interstate commerce commission,
which requires every railway car operated
In the District to be equipped with front
automatic or platform operated projecting
pickup tenders and with automatic wheel
guards the former not to have an eleva-
ton of more than six and the latter of
position. would be dangerous and likely to
throw the cars off the track.
The rule in question became operative
November /, but delay was allowed the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Yer
non and the Great Falls and Old Do
minion railways and a hearing set for
yesterday by the District electric railway
commission. The former company was
represented by supt. Percy E. Cliff, who
said the proposed tenders and guards
would be a menace in the country. where
the cars travel at a, high rate of speed, go
over crossings and turn many switches.
The chances of derailment would be great
he said.
Thirty-Eight Curves in Line.
Theodore J. King, superintendent and
chief engineer of the Great Falls and Old
Dominion road. supported the contention
and said there were thirty-ei curves in
the fourteen miles of road over which his
companys cars travel; that at present a
rigid fender ten inches from the rail was
used. and. in reply to an inquiry, he said
rigid fender six inches from the rail
could be used.
Vice President and General Manager
John n. Shannahan of the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis electric railway
presented similar arguments, while the
claims Of the roads were supported by let
tiers from officials of other railways in
other large cities.
Ask for Exemption.
The railway companies represented ask
to be excused from compliance with the
rule because of the short distances within
the District travelled by their cars.
The record of yesterdays proceedings.
Mr. Smith said after the hearing, would
be submitted for the information of Com
missioner West, and the commission
would determine at a meeting later what
further action should be taken.

The oldest university in America is San
Marcos at Lima, Peru. which was found
ed by Emperor Charles of Spain In lv51
with faculties of theology, Jurisprudence,
medicine, philosophy and political science.
For two and a half centuries, while under
the control of the Dominican monks. it
was one of the most notable institutions
in the world, and students came to 1t
from all parts Of America. OF late
years, however, il has been thoroughly
modernized and now has chairs of agri-
culture. mining, electrical and civil engi-
neering, chemistry and other applied
sciences. Mr.. Packard, in his paper.
gives especial attention to a series of
publications by professors and students
of San Marcos, which show what he
calls the ''modernity" Of thought and In
structiOn prevailing there. These papers
all relate to topics Of immediate and prac-
teal interest, such as archaeological
analysis o. the drinking water OF Ina.
experiments and applications OF wireless
telegraphy and cooperative movements.
There are other universities In Peru,
which has always been famous for the
culture of its people and their high edu-
cationai standards. The University OF
Arequipa has been SO celebrated as to
give that city the title Of 1.-The Athens OF
America" 1t has been a seat Of learn
ing and literary life for several centuries:
1t has produced many eminent scholars
and statesmen, and although the univer-
sity is not SO much sought by students
as it used to be- the conservative aristoc-
racy of Peru and other South American
countries still send their young men to
Areuuipa to be educated. Because OF its
pure air, Arequipa was selected as the
location of the Harvard astronomical OBJ
servatory In South America, where a stan
OF astronomers has been making a map
of the stars and consultations of the
southern hemisphere for several years.
Although there Is no university in Bra
zil, there are two schools Of medicine,

he Gave Lemons as Change.

Chanute, KaS, Nov. s.-Because
ne believed he could hand outlemon,
In exchange for money, j. E. Beam.
young man, was sentenced to :
year in jail by Justice Groome. Beam
worked his plan thus: He would ask
the proprietor of a store if he would
give him dollar for two halves.
Then when he got the dollar he
would hand over two halves of a
lemon and walk out AT some places
1t was two quarters for half.
Not much was said by any of
Beams victims at the time. They
had a slight acquaintance with him
and supposed that it was lust Joke
and they did not want to please him
by making any complaint. Thew
thought they would wait until he was
ready to come back and pay the money
back. 1t was found out by the police
however, that he planned to leave
town on night train. To prevent
this ne was arrested. The case was
turned over to the county by the DO
lice officers. Beam told the police
that he paid a dollar to learn the
trick. He says he is from Roanoke, |

Former Adrian Boy Arrested.

Thaddeus S. Wilson was arrested
in Kansas City last Thursday on the
charge of using BLACK Hand" meth
DDS to extort money from w. A.
Long, a millionaire. He wrote two
letters OF a threatening nature de-
handing that Long send him 5000
at once and ask no questions. These
letters were turned over to the de-
teciveS and Wilson was soon run in.
The charges seem to be well sus-
tanned and it looks bad for young
Wilson.
The Wilson family resided in
Adrian some six years ago, the father
being pastor of the United Brethren
church of this city and later he taught
school. Thad. graduated from the
Adrian High School and later taught
school in this county. From here
they moved to Jasper county, where
he taught school and later they NOV |
ed to Garnett, Kansas.
Young Wilson stood well here with |
he masses, but there was an UNDER
current in his life, known to the local
which indicated that he was
lleaded the wrong way.-Adrian

The other day one of them struck
trenton, up in Grundy county, and
standing at pulpit in an edifice de-
voted to God, brazenly said:
Trenton is the hardest PROPOSE.

and dead. Trenton as town is hope.
lessly lost and on the road to hell.
AS | came down tonight I saw a
drunken man cursing and using pro-
family on the street; business men
think only of business; the children
are running in the streets at night;
drunkenness, adultery, sodomy, licen-
uousness and sin run riot, and the
entire lot of churches are cold and
lifeless, and you are not going to hell
but you have already gone. Rotten
ness, Righteousness and 'iniquity are
treated as joke here.
There is a large membership
here, but no. spirituality; the dance
and the card table have drained the
church of its spirituality and a young

seem to be letting their children 90
