STREET CAR CASES DELAYED.
Complaints Of overcrowding Not to
Be Prosecuted for Weeks.

I'VE are investigating the testimony
submitted by the interstate commerce
commission relative to possible charges
against the local street railways for over
crowdinG cars. Progress is slow. and we
will not be in position to push the mat
ter for some weeks yet.
The foregoing was the announcement of
Assistant United States Attorney Ralph
Given today when asked what was being
done in the matter of q number Of COM
plants of street car crowding lodged with
the authorities about two months ago.
At that time testimony offered to the
prosecuting officers was not considered
sufficient TO warrant filing formal charges.
The matter has been held in allegiance
since.
The interstate commerce commission has
been investigating conditions since with
more attention to acquiring convincing
evidence. 1t will, IL is believed formally
submit the results of that work in the
near future.
Evidence in one or two GASES has al
ready been submitted, but the nature of
the complaints could not be ascertained
today.
In case the charges are filed they will be
drawn up under one of the regulations
passed by the interstate commerce COM
mission governing the running, handling
and crOwding of street cars within the
District of Columbia. In the prosecution
of the cases the United States attorney
for the Distlict acts the representa-
tive of the interstate commerce commits
sion and prosecuteS In its name.

Announced That End Might Come
Any Moment.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARTFORD. Conn. April 1O.--The con-
dition of Gov. George L. Lilley was much
worse this morning. He suffered a severe
chill before daybreak, and the physicians
in attendance practically gave up all
hope Of recovery. 1t was said that the
end might be expected at any moment.
DR.. Graves. the family physician, sum-
moned all the members of the family to
the bedside. Gov. Lilley's wifi :
with him since he was taken i'll. His
three sons took their station in his home,
the executive mansion. here. The old
est. John. Is a member of the Yale track
team. but did not go south with the squad
when 1t left last Saturday to meet the
University of Virginia. because of his
fathers illness. His second son, Ted. is
member OF the Yale base ball nine. but
for the same reason he gave up his plans
to accompany the team on its southern
trip during the Easter vacation.
His third son. Frederick. arrived home
a few days ago. He was an ensign on
the Connecticut on its trip around the
world with the fleet. His resignation
from the navy to take up a business
newspapers.
Inconsistencies. His family remained
in an adjoining room all night. hourly ex-
pecting the end. Toward morning the
governors breathing became heavy and
labored and announcement by the attend
ing physician that the end was near was
verified by the signs of approaching dis
solution.

LARGEST LOCAL EASTER MAIL
ENORMOUS INCREASE OVER
LAST YEAR.
Pieces Received at Post Office Yes
terday for Delivery in Washing
ton Nearly 5000 900.

Postmaster Barnes said today that the
Easter mail is the largest ever known in
the history of the local post office. AL
though there is an immense increase In
the volume of letters received for delivery.
the greatest increase is shown In the pic
ture postcards. which are arriving by the
thousands. There are also a great many
boxes and packets containing flowers and
candy.
The rush OF incoming mail began two
days earlier this year than before. and
increases with each newly arriving mail
train.
a year ago April 8 the number OF let
tiers and postcards received for delivery
amounted to 155,S2D. This year the num-
Der reached 174.32O. not including post
cards. The postcards swell the number
to about 225,00O. This includes only the
letters and postcards for delivery In the
District Of Columbia.
The number OF letters received yester-
day amounted to 49,, 40. exclusive of
post cards, as against 1885 year ago.
ceived for delivery yesterday increased
the number. of pieces to nearly 3Oh.O0O.
1t is noticed too. that the post cards
and other forms OF Easter souvenirs are
those of a year ago. This appeared to
such an extent that orders had to be CIV
en- not to backstamp them with the can
ceiling machines, but by hand.
All the available force is engaged In
asserting and distributing this vast in
flux of mail SO as to secure its delivery
before tomorrow morning. There will, OF
course. as In previous years, be many
Easter greetings received after today,
but their delay I'm reaching their destina-
ton will be chargeabie, as q rule. rather
to the hardness of the senders I'm ma. ling
them than to any other cause.

Now that this name rivalry has been

thing ought to be done to relieve this
wear and tear. and also to restrain dis

a living hero or public Official. and an
other law requiring all babies to bear the

In the Small Towns.
Lons-Distance Walking.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
That grand old man Of psdestrianism,
Edward Payson Weston, who started
Monday to walk from New York to San
Francisco, has undertaken to do the dis
lance of 4,3OO miles In 100 consecutive
DAYS. emitting Sundays. He started of
at a lively clip, doing the first dap of the
tourney, thirty miles. to TRrrytown, In
four and three-quarter hours. or at a rate
Of about six and one-third miles an hour

In the autumn of 1907 Weston walked
the LOO miles from Portland. Me-, to
Chicago in several hours under twenty
five days. In one day he accomplished
ninety-six miles. On this astonishing
journey he improved by whole day a
record made thirty years previously, when
he was q man of forty. May ~. l9Us, no
walked from Philadelphia to New York
in twenty-three hours and seventeen min
utes-thirty-two minutes batter than he
did in 1853. In England he has done $50
miles in six days.
When Edward Whymper, the English
Alpinist and explorer. was about to start
for vacation ramble in Switzerland. he
got a letter from the Rev. DIR. Hudson,
himself terrific walker. asking permis-
sion TO bring along young lad not cap
able of much in the way OF wa king

his tender years-in fact, he could not do
more than fifty miles per day. Most
grown men would quail before piedSing

Name Of Our Continent.

1t is a curious chance that America re-
ce!ved it's name from a German geog-
rapher Old Prof Waidseemueller made
mistake. indeed, when he named the
new countries at Brazil after the Flor
entine Amerigo EespEcci IL would have
been far more just to name the new
world after Columbus. but though Wald-
seemueller recognized his mistake and
withdrew the name. II remained in use.
And curiously enough that Amerigo Yes
pucci whose name gave origin to the
name of America had himself. though an
Italian. still German family name. EN-
merich. Emery In English. Thus Amer
lea is q continent with a German name,
the meaning Of which might. perhaps. be
interpreted as rich in corn" If this 10
correct, Prof. Waldseemueler chose IN
incorrect but appropriate name.
