COMPLAIN OF w., B. & A.
Matter Of Refusal to Garry Local
Passengers Taken Up.

Whether the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric line may under its
present charter legally refuse to carry
local passengers and may charge such pas
seneers more than ive cents within the
District limits are questions that have
been put up to the board OF District Com
missioners for answer. The interstate
commerce commission has decided that ii
cannot assume jurisdiction In the matter.
Several complaints have been lodged with
the District railway commission during
the last few weeks. 1t being claimed that
the railway company cannot legally re-
quire local passengers to pay the ten
cents not exacted of them.
The electric railway commission has
decided to allow the Capital Traction
Company to discontinue Its through serv-
when the old schedule will be resumed.
1t is believed that the amount of trafiic on
this line does not warrant the running OF
through cars at this time of year. The
commission decided to hold it's meetings
Thursday instead Of Wednesday after.
moons in the future.

clude Work at Alexandra.

Lieut.. Col. W. c. Langfitt Of the Engi-

steamers from this city can dock there at
all stages o fthe tide At Upper Machodoc
creek the shoals In the mouth of the creek

head Of navigation. Residents Of King
George county. Va, in the vicinity of up
per Machodoc creek have been endeavor-
ing for ten years or longer to get the

FOR LIGHTS ON BOATS.
Baltimore Collector of Customs Will
Enforce Law.

The collector OF customs at Baltimore is
waging a vigorous war against operators
Of launches and rowboats who do not
comply with the marine laws regarding
lights and other equipment. In the last
week several boat owners and operators
have been before the collector and fined
from 500 to 500. The fine on rowboat
men was imposed under article Of ma
rine regulations. which reads:
Rowing boats. whether under oars or
sail. shall have ready at hand lantern
showing a white light which shall be
temporarily exhibited In SUFFICIENT time 70
prevent collision
This rule. II is asserted by steamboat
men, Is seldom needed on the Potomac.
and many narrow escapes from running
over rowboats at night have occurred. As
general thing launches and pleasure
craft are fully equipped as required by
law and live up to the regulations. The
local custom house officials will begin
shortly a crusade against unlighted row.
boats. and incidentally will look over the
power-equipped craft to see that owners
are complying with the requirements of
an act passed at the last session Of Con-
gress.

The forest was sent from the Adiron-

in which so large and comfortable a
