Another Complaint.

To tie Editor OF The Washington Tines
First, thanking you most gratefully
and appreciatively for your successful
battle for open cars" To- vour cham
piOnship Of the people on al occa-
siOns, and for your prOgressiveUess gen
orally, I wish to ask II YOU viii kindly
protest against the pay-as-you-euter
cars So many people are I'D in arms
against them, but hardly know. what 70
say 10 be most effective The peopIe
protest against P 4 Y E cars and
also demand more cars at rush hours.
AS one far-sighted individual wrote 10
your paper: Now IS the time to fist the
nuisance, before it goes any further"
Som Of the reasons against the P. a.
Y. L. cars are as follows
They are built too high from the
ground.
There is too much vestibule.
There is too much standing room
There is too little room TO sit
There is too much standing ont in The
"a in waiting to get in
There is altogether too much trouble
trying to get out
They are built for the Reno brand of
pugilists. and not for ordinary every
day respectable men and women, and
children.
Finally, they are an au-round nuis-
ance, and should be abolished and no
more allowed made for WASHINGTON.
Any old cars that have been in use
since the horse cars are better and more
preferable. The old trailer is d para

The old closed car with open or closed

dangerous in jerking people of their
feet, while having the advantage Of
being near enough the ground not to

Why not have a commission appointed

they think about it.
And, please. tell the people Of wash

RAILROAD SHARES LEAD SHORT
COVERING IN A VERY
DULL MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept 24-The stock
market was excessively dull with al
most no feature to enliven the stu

weak, trading was in light volume,

Most stocks opened fractions lower
than yesterdays close In the first
half hour prices moved up slowly IN
der the short covering, later Stacked
of to fractions below the opening
figures and advanced again toward
the close. As a whole the level Of
prices is a little lower than at the

those with longitudinal seats are more
numerous than against those Of the

by the Capital Traction Company.
These objections are based on the
grounds that the seat arrangements

comfort Of the public, and that in
matters Of draughts the cars are
much more dangerous 20 the public

KILLED II, INJURED 81 IN
AUGUST.
Six Children Amons the Dead.
Nine Chauffeurs Escaped.
Only One CRught.

Seventeen persons were killed and
fifty-seven injured in auto accidents the
past month, according to the figures
tabulated by the National Highways
Protective Association and given out by
Secretary Edward S. Cornell. Nine
persons were run down by autos and the
chauffeurs escaped by putting on power.
Of this nine, Edward T. Rosenheimer,
now under bail for the killing of Miss
Grace Hough in the Bronx, was the only
one captured. Rosenheimer is to have
hearing before the coroner next week.
OWNERS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE.
"These accidents and fatalities, said
Mr.. Cornell, Il am inclined to attribute
to the fact that owners of cars are not
subject to the laws, but are permitted
to act as chauffeurs without experience,
license or examination.
Rosenheimer was driving when Miss
Hough was killed. j. d. Long, of
Staten Island, was driving his car when
he was killed and four others were in
jured. John Iris, of First avenue and
Forty-eighth street, was killed by car

also an unidentified woman in Broad
way. New York American.

We are glad to note the efforts which
are now being made by the Mansfield
section of the Green Mountain Club to
arouse new interest in our mountains
and particularly to Mount Mansfield.
AS we have hitherto held, the people of
Vermont have made far too little of
their mountains. In point of fact
Mansfield, Cancels Hump and Killing
ton have been shamefully neglected.
Each of those grand heights ought now
to be the center of tourist travel for
thousands of people, whereas only few
hundred visit them.
The following news item shows how
few people have visited Cancels Hump
for example:
'Since the camp at the summit of
Cancels Hump was established last
spring $50 people have registered there
Thirty people were on the the summit
last Saturday night. The number of
visitors is heavier during the latter part
of the season. when the cooler nights
clear the atmosphere of smoke and the
falling leaves open up great deal of
the view
In commenting on this item The Rut-
land News speaks as follows: eff the
rather inaccessible Cancels Hump can
draw nearly 400 people in a season it
is safe to say that Mount Killington,
which is much more easily reached and
commands just as fine view, would be
visited by twice that number of people
during the tourist season were some
sort of a comfortable shelter main
tanned at its summit. Ninety per cent.
of the people who climb Killington
naturally start from Rutland and this
city is bound to be benefited by visits
from such tourists"
The Green Mountain Club are putting
forth efforts which promise to revolu-
tionize this condition of neglect of our
mountains. They are not only consid-
ering various means of arousing general
interest in our chief mountains but
they are also taking steps to facilitate
travel to our mountain tops. In time
their combined efforts will unquestion-
ably result in the provision of means of
ready transit to the feet of the noun
tains, electric or otherwise. In these
efforts the members of the club deserve
the hearty cooperation of all public
spirited citizens, and particularly those
of the towns which will be most benefit
ed by this tourist travel and the mana
gers of our chief lines of transportation

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Veto of 271

mobile on North Main street opposite
West street at $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday af
ternoon, and her right leg was broken
near the knee joint. The automobile
was being driven by Harry F. Whitney
of Williamstown. 1t is said that the lit
tie girl was standing on the sidewalk
with several other girls and started to
run across the street from West street
and ran directly in front Of the automo-
bile. Those who saw the accident say
that the machine was not going over
eight miles an hour, but that it was i'm
possible for the driver to stop without
hitting the child.
The driver set the brakes and the
wheels slid far enough so that the rear
wheel just passed over her leg before il
stopped. The guard over the front
wheel struck the girl first and threw
her TO the ground. and she escaped the
front wheel, but the rear wheel passed
over her leg just below the knee. Chas
H. Wilkie, who is employed in A. w

the first to reach the girl, and as he
knew her he picked her up in his arms

Mr.. Kohl escaped injury.

New York snd were driving slowly
along the private estate, when the road
way collapsed under them. The rear
wheels skidded down an embankment
and the auto turned over on its side.
Mr.. Kohl held the car on its side until
the women had crawled back on the
roadway. Then he let go, and the ma
chine turned over and rolled down the
hill.
The injured women were taken to the
Tuxedo Hospital, where their injuries
were dressed by DR.. Gordon, of Bellevue
Hospi tai, New York, who is temporarily
in charge of the Tuxedo Hospital. Mr..
Kohl and his party returned to New
burg in an automobile borrowed from
Weygand, of Tuxedo.

Along thy way,
What strange adventures didst tho

We see in dreams
Mysterious CLEANS
Of other worlds than this our home;
Say, hast thou seen
Their hills so green,
AS thou of late afar didst roam?

In plaintive means,
Seem whispering to us reply:
And, to our eyes
The tears arise,
In sympathy with thy lone sigh.
But all in vain
We list again,
We cannot hear thy voice so low.
Oh, come this way
Some future day!
And tell us all we wish to know.
