Wants Tracks Removed.

Mr.. Sims remarked that he would be
glad to have the injunction dissolved and
the tracks taken up.
This is the company" he said, THAT
occupied the Mall for years without pay
ing any taxes and is now occupying other
property without paying anything. Let
US see what it, will do
Representative Keiher of Massac hu-
settS asked Mr.. Moore If he seriously con-
tended that If the tracks were taken up
the United States government would have
to abandon the navy yard in which it has
invested about $15,O00.OOO.
THAT is the fear of the Navy Depart
ment as expressed to me personally and
in correspondence Mr.. Moore replied.
Then Mr.. Moore called attention to the
fact that along the line of the existing
track is located the garbage receiving
plant of the District.
1.-The garbage receiving plant" declared
Mr.. Keliher. will be just about wnere il
is now if you take up these tracks The
removal of this garbage to it's final place
of treatment; forms profitable traffic foI
the Pennsylvania road and it will not give
it up"
For about an hour the House continued
to discuss garbage and the relation of the
plant to the existing tracks.
'Is it any wonder" cried Mr.. Keliher
getting back to the main subject again,
that people are FESTIVE and suspicious OF

after the passage of a law specifically

Naked Track Through Section.
.The District paid $4,000 or $4,000 for
a playground right in that section. and
all there is that separates it from this
track is a little barbed-wire fence not over
three feet high. Switchmen. f1agmen. bar
riers and gates have been dispensed with
and a naked track runs through that Sec
ton of the city. while the Pennsylvania
railroad says If you do not continue to
let that stay there we will put the navy
yard out of business l have no appre-
hension that If we pass this law the navy
yard will be put out of business. We
are not in such desperate straits as to
fear this bombastic challenge"
Mr.. Cooper handed the railroad COM
pany another hot shot.
This great company" he said, 1.-The
very greatest railroad system in the
world, refuses to invest $220.O0O. on which

The House then, on motion Of Repre-

by striking out the enacting clause.

Company's Objections.

'It~will be observed from this letter."
said Mr.. Moore, that thescompany OBJ
jected to the construction of this siding,
which is no part of its agreement with
or franchise from the government, or
otherwise, on the grounds that it would
not pay the company to do it."
Mr. Moore then sent to the desk and
had read a document from the Navy De-
partment giving the estimated cost OF
building the spur as SOS, SS4.37.
1T seems to me-" said Mr.. Moore. that
the sole question here is whether the
railroad company is compelled under the
act of 1908 to build a spur which was not
contemplated in any previous arrange
ment."
Mr.. Cooper declared that it was the
Pennsylvania railroad system which was
doing the Objecting.
DO you think he said. that it is
very equitable consideration for the Penn
sylyania railroad system to set up here
in the Capitol of the United States, when
it makes millions upon millions on its to-
tai investment, to object to this small
expenditure"
II would consider it equally inequita-
ble," replied Mr.. Moore, ''if having grant
ed the gentleman a franchise to build
mill of certain size and dimensions and at
a certain cost, 1 should then direct him
to build an addition to that mill, whether
he had the money or not.
II am astonished,'' cried Mr.. Cooper,
that the Pennsylvania railroad would
put in an objection of so utterly trivial
character.

Found Housekeeper's Body.

The physician admitted them to the
house. remarking that it was peculiar
that both the housekeeper and the butler
should go out at the same time. Leaving
his patients in the hall, DIR. Cannon start
ed to enter the drawing room, when he
stumbled over the body Of his house
keeper stretched on the floor.
A hasty examination showed that she
had been shot throukh the mouth, the
bullet coming out through the left eye.
Several teeth lay on the floor. There were
many wounds about, the head, evidently
inflicted with a club of some sort.
A trail of blood led to the basement,
where the physician came upon the body
of his butler. He lay close to the vesti-
bule door at the. front OF the hall, and
had been shot just above the left ear,
and again in the back of the head on
the left side. His head was also terribly
battered. The right hand extended along
side the body and the feet were crossed.
A revolver lay near the body.
Dr. Cannon left both bodies as he found
them and ran for a policeman. Capt.
Farrell and several plain clothes men
ried to the house and started search.
A small safe in the doctors bedroom
had been ripped open and 500 taken.
From a bureau drawer in the same room
similar amount was stolen. Six scarf
pins which had been on the doctors
dresser were also missing.
Before the searching party had finished
Capt Carey from the homicide bureau
and Coroner Winterbottom arrived. The
coroner was sure that the murder had
been committed between } and o'clock.
