Monument Tumble. but II 9tiil
10 665 Feet High.

Washington.-The Washington mon
ument became an object of interest
10 Washington's Oldest inhabitants
the other day. For several days per.
sons have been picking up small
pieces of marble and cement, identical
With the material used in the monu-
ment.
This started story that the monu-
mont was cracking and in danger OF
failing. Many who heard the story
took advantage of the Sunday holiday
to visit the monument to see 1t fall.
The monument watchmen say 1t fs
not uncommon for pieces Of marble
to drop from the shaft from time to
time, but they attach no Significance
to It. Stone masons say that these
pieces falling from the seams eventu-
ally may necessitate the expenditure
Of money in patching.
The monument is 555 feet high.

PLANS FOR 5sTH ST. TRANSFERS
One Suggestion for and 10 Cent
Fares Made TO P. S. G.

George W. Linch, general manager OF
the Central Park, North and East River
Company, sent a letter yesterday 10 the
Public Service Commission In which he
said his company was willing 20 try the
system of transfers which had been sub
mitted in a proposition received frcm
Adrian H JoIine and Douglas Robinson,
receivers of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
road Company.
The commission adopted on August . last
an order requiring that some system or
Joint rates'-the statutory term for a
transfer system-shOuld be put IN force
between the Metropolitan north and south
lines and the seth street crOsstown line by
September l. The time. however, was later
extended until November I.
Mr. Linch's letter favors charging fare
of cents for ride on one Metropolitan
line and the cTOSStOwn and a fare OF 10
cents for ride on two Metropolitan lines
with trip on the CTOsStOwu in between.
The letter does not state. however. how
the division of the fare is to be made. IL
is understood, though, that the company
collecting the scent fare will retain 3
cents while the 10-cent fare will be di-
vided equally Any such arrangemenC
would, however, be merely tentative.
The entire matter referred TO the
commission committee of the whole at a
meeting yesterday afternoon
