Hampton, Phoebus and Old Point
FINDS FOUNDATION Of
kECOUGHTAN CHURCH
Jacob HefeIfnger Locates
Walls Of First Episcopal Edi-
flee in Virginia.

Mr.. Jacob Heffelfinger. who is one
Of the best known antiquarians IN
Virginia. has just discovered what he
feels sure to be the foundation OF
the church of KecOughtan, which is
conceded to have been the first
Episcopal church established in Viz
ginia.
The foundation OF the church has
been located On the Tabb farm ana
is near the old cemetery. which has
been a landmark there. According
to Mr., Heffelfnger the foundation
was built of brick. cObblestones and
mortar and is about 22X25 feet.
II is thought the church was built
in 1912 and was the worshippinG
place of old KecOughtan, who then
vas chief Of the tribe of Indians at
that time inhabitating the Virginia
peninsula.
The find is considered very import
ant by historians and il is expected
that the Association for the Preser-
walton OF Virginia Antiquities will
ask to be permitted to take charge
of the site and preserve it as one
Ct the relies of the early days of the
history of what is today the Virginia
peninsula.

WORKING MEMS TICKETS FOR
WORKING WOMEN.

General Manager Butler. of the
street railway, has acted wisely in
concluding to have working men
tickets accepted on the cars when
they are presented by working
women during the hours prescribed
In the franchise ordinances. The
working mems tickets. which are
sold for half the regular fare, are
accepted from working men when
presented during certain hours OF the
morning aud afternoon, when the
workmen are supposed to be going to
and returning from work. One of the
companies is compelled by its fran
chise TO sell and honor such tickets
and the other there are two com
panes. though both are practically
under the same management Is re-
uuired to do the same thing under
an ordinance which was agreed to
ut the time the council granted II
franchise for the tracks connecting
the boulevard line with the Citizen
Company's line at Chestnut avenue.
The companies refused to accept the
tickets from women, contending that
the ordinances specified working
men" and said nothing about work
ing women"
Whether or not the position of tht
xuArtlH no aimed
court we are not prepared TO say.
But from a layman's point of view
the companies violated the spirit OF
the ordinances when they declined
t. permit working women to ride
on the tickets issued for working
men.
Whatever might have been the
outcome had the question been put to
the test in the courts. this paper be
lieves that the companies are wise
in not pushing their contention. IL
would not pay the companies to an
taganize the council and public scru-
ment unnecessarily. and IL is almost
lorsyone conclusion that the Coun-
Gil and public sentiment would be
with the working women on this pro
position.
II is said that washer women with
their bulky clothes baskets are large
ly responsible fer the company's ORIG.
inal action in this matter. The clothes
basket question ought TO be settled
on its merits. without allowing II To
hurt the interests OF working women
in general The street railway man
ager no doubt is right in refusing 10
allow his Ivy avenue car to be con
verted into a clothes carrier. with
woman aud basket travelling for ,.
cents.

nized that the lending Of small sums
without security Is a hazardous business
and that the risk should be compensated
for by higher rate of interest than IL
charged by the banks. But 1t is possible
to maintain such business under the
regulations proposed by the Senate bill
and yield a fair measure Of profit This
legislation undertakes to protect the
small borrower from the excessive inter
est, from the unreasonable penalties and
from the double charging of interest prac-
ticed by many of the so-caIled loan COM
panies at present.
BY the enactment of such law Con-
gress will enable the District Commits
sioners, through a wise enforcement, to
save many thousands of dollars annually
to Washingtonians in moderate cfrcum-
stances, without depriving them of me
opportunity to borrow in emergencies.
This proposed system of regulation will
teach more provident habits by cutting
off the costly easy opportunities for Dor
rowing now open. 1t will work hard
ship only upon those who are now fat
tening off the miseries and necessities and
the ignorance and fears Of the poor.

The Associated Charities.

statement from Commissioner Ru-

Der of the board of managers of the Asso-
ciated Charities and former chairman OF
the finance committee, is printed in the
news columns today, in answer to current
criticisms of the organized charities OF
the capital. 1t is sufficient rejoinder
There is no doubt in the minds of well in
formed citizens regarding the efficiency
of the charity management in the Dis
trict or as to the wisdom and the econ
omy with which the funds which are sup
piled by public subscription are expended
The Associated Charities is an insti-
tuition of great value to the commu nifty
and its usefulness is not to be lessened
by unwise attacks or unfounded criti-
cisms. 1t is deplorable that there re-
mains disposition to question the eff
cacy of the constructive works main
tanned by the organized charities and
to advocate a return to the old wasteful
system of pauperizing almsgiving. For
tunately the present mode, founded in
reason and animated by the highest re-
gard for humanity, so justifies itself
by results that a revival of the former
methods is now impossible.

The Loan Shark Bill.

The Senate has passed the loan shark
bill in more severe terms than were Origi-
nally proposed. BY raising the license
fee from 500 to $500 the Senate would
limit the number of individuals or organi-
cations doing a lending business i'm the
District. and increase the obligation on
the part of the license holder to obey the
law by rendering the risk of punishment
greater Under the bill as drawn now.
and as il will be considered by the House
committee, it will be unlawful for any
person or association to engage In the
loan business I'm the District on the basis
Of q higher rate of interest than per
cent per annum without procuring a H.
cense from the District Commissioners
Those who violate this clause Of the law
will be subject to fine of not less than
$50 and not greater than 500. or by i'm
prisonment for from five to thirty days
or both fine and imprisonment.
Some form of legislation on this sub
iect is imperatvely needed In the Dis
trict to protect the small borrower from
the greed of the loan sharks. There Is
no disposition to drive out of business all
who would loan money at a higher rate
of interest than per cent. It is recog.

Traffic Rules.

No police regulation deserves a place
on the books that Is not consistently
and uniformly enforced. IL it is laxIy ex-
ecuted q municipal rule is an invitation
to disorder, misconduct and possibly the
injury Of others. II 1t Is harshly and un-
evenly applied it becomes discriminat.
ing tyranny. of which the entire COM
munity has reason to complain.
These observations are prompted by the
manner in which the regulations govern
ing the conduct of automobiles on the
streets of Washington are enforced. The
widest imaginable difference exists be-
tween various individual concepts of the
law on the part OF the men charged with
trafY7c regulation. What to one traffic
squad policeman is a high speed is a
suairs pace TO another. What one of
them considers safe management,
OF the machine may be rated as extreme
recklessness by the next man in line.
But II is not only I'm point of speed that
the force on wheels is at variance with
itself. In the question of lights there is
q marked difference of opinion on the
part of the mounted SQUAD. Last night,
