Literary "Ghosts."

According to a writer III La Revue
of Paris, the rank and file Of novelists
In France draw on an average 500 for
each book. and many of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand. those at the top Of the
tree earn large incomes. and some Of
them undertake o commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse is

there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ghost
with a grievance against his employer
tnterpolated in the book ordered from
him two chapters Of "Mme. Bovary,"
altering nothing but the names Of the
characters. The woman who signed
the book in order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con

Z
Problem Before Committee.
a hearing on the constitutionality OF
the Wiley transfer bill was held before
the House District Committee Yesterday.
George E. Hamilton. president Of the
Capital Traction Company. testified that
If the measure We're enacted into law. IL
would be unconstitutional J. ]. Darling
ton, counsel for the company. also ap-
peared in support Of Mr.. Hamilton's posi-
ton. Others who testified were H ".
Williams. president OF the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company. and Cor
poration Counsel Thomas.
Corporation Counsel Thomas spoke spe-
officially Of the terms OF charters granted
the railway companies. He said that In
view OF the charters granted by Con-
gress, the right TO appeal was specifically
reserved. He thought, therefore, that any
proposed law providing for universal
transfers in the District would not in
fringe on any right allowed to the local
railway lines.
Mr. Thomas was in doubt as TO the
validity OF that portion Of the bill speci-
flying the manner in which the companies
shall reimburse each other for transfers
collected. Following a recent argument
Of Mr.. Root in the Senate on the rail-
way bill, he thought that the notification
Of one portion OF the proposed measure
might invalidate ali OF its provisions in
case the law was taken into the courts.
