Not Afraid of Penal Clause.

NO corporation is afraid of a penal
clause having q penalty amount Of $50. so
that the addition of a penalty clause OF
this character has never strengthened
this class OF laws unless it can be en-
forced. Therefore, / say that the friends
of the measure are anxious to get
through a bill providing for universal
transfers. and on the present terms,
namely, six tickets for quarter We
have had before US proposition OF hVe-
cent fares, and the companies have AL
ways been in favor of that. The commit
tee was not in favor Of permitting the
companies to charge five-cent fare as
condition of universal transfers.
Representative Carlin of Virginia said
he was i'm favor of the bill. but that it
did not reach the case in which he was
interested. For instance" he said, the
Mount Vernon Railroad ompany delivers
it's passengers within thirty feet OF Penn
sylyania avenue at the corner OF 18th,
but not being exactly intersecting. l am
afraid that road would not be covered by
your bill. l want to know II the gentle
men would object to an amendment
which would include that road In the
bill. so that il would be compelled to
issue transfers without charge. 1t
charges 5 cents in the District Of Column
bia, the same as the others
Mr.. Wiley said he was willing to have
the Mount Vernon road included.
suggested that it was entirely proper to
provide that these companies shall reach
an agreement prorating the cost OF rem
dering this service. That seems to me
but fair. and | would vote against any
bill which would permit a little bit of a
railroad to have equal rights to service
over a great big one. 1 want to see some
equitable adjustment, but II ought not 70
be connected with the main provision
making that main provision depend upon

should be directed to issue a transfer. They

not be made dependent or prov1s1ona
upon reaching an agreement.
Kahn Amendment Rejected.
After a number of minor committee
amendments had been offered and adopted
Representative Kahn OF California Of
fered an amendment providing that free
universal transfers should only be ISSUED
to passengers paying a five-cent cash rare
This was rejected.

FIGHTS INDIANS
SEEN IN MOVING PICTURE

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 24.-H. II.
Doherty Of Los Angeles paid fine of
$40 in Police Judge Carrillo's court
today for disturbing the peace. Be
hind this charge lies an attack on a
cruel band of Indians holding forth in
a motion picture at a beach theater.
According to the evidence at Do
herty's hearing he sat well up in front
at the picture show and exhibited deep
interest in the scenes depicted. Fin
ally a frontier scene where red men
had captured an old prospector and
were preparing to burn him at the
stake proved too much for Doherty's s
heroic American blood and he made
energetic attempts to reach the cur
tain on which the picture was shown
and disperse the tortures of the
helpless miner. The police with diff
Guilty explained to Doherty the futility
of his efforts.
