The Erie road, at the instance of it's
president, Mr.. Frederic Underwood,
printed at one time for FIRE distribu-
ton, with particular reference to its
own employees, a large edition of one
of the most popular of the stories. In
making an attempt at a novel in 1901
not his first attempt, for, years ear
lier he had, to free his hand, written
an entire novel which never was of
fered to a publisher-Ml. Spearman
found to his surprise that his efforts
at learning to write a short story had
afforded no preparation for the writ
ing Of a long one. This second novel
was put aside but, persisting in the
form, he next essayed q study of west
were grouped around a career of a
brilliant American surgeon. It
proved, perhaps, rather too faithful
portraiture in the opinion of the pub
fishers of his short stories who failed
to forsee the success of 'Dr. BrySon,
the title under which it was brought
out by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1902.
For some time popular interest in the
work proved meager but the sale
which began quietly, persisted. The
novel continued to sell steadily and
last year had a larger sale than ever
before since its publication. Two sue
ceeding novels of western life and ad-
venture met with a striking success
from the start 1.-THE Daughter of a
Magnate'' and whispering Smith"
were written at short intervals after
Doctor Bryson" and a volume which
celebrated historic phrases of railroad
enterprise and read like titles of ro-
nance was published unde- the title
of 1.-The Strategy of Great Railroads.
Three succeeding years were spent by
the author with his wife and their
four sons in travel, these years includ
ing long sojourns in California and in
Italy. Robert Kimberly" his last
novel, begun while he was in Italy,
there last year.
Louise Closer Hale, who has been
all winter as the Fairy Berylune in
1.-THE Blue Bird has now written two
novels of the stage with the appear
ance last week of ''The Married Miss
WORTH Her former novel, 1.-The Ac-
tress,' was concerned chiefly with the
experiences of an American actress in
London, while 1.-THE Married Miss
Worth is American, with characters

seems to have regarded her characters

STREET RAILWAY
RAISES new POINT
Claims Speed of Fifteen Miles
at Street Crossings.

In the trial yesterday In the Police
Court of the case Of an alleged viola
ton of the regulation Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, providing that
| cars shall not cross intersecting streets
| at a greater speed than six miles per
| hour, the particular instance being the
speed Of the car which collided with the
automobile patrol wagon at Fourth and
o streets northwest. April % last. when
| the car was crossing o street. a question
Of much Importance and interest was
raised by the attorney for the defendant.
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
1t was contended by the attorney. Mr..
| Hoover. that the Interstate Commerce
Commission is without authority to pro-
mulgate such a regulation for the rea-
son that the act of May g. 1903, grant,
ing certain Jurisdiction over the local
| street railways to the Interstate Com
! merce Commission, distinctly provides
| that cars shall be operated at speed
not to exceed fifteen miles per hour
| within the city limits or twenty miles
per hour in the suburbs" II was further
| contended that the provision of the law
! granting power to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to require and COM
| pei obedience to all Of the provisions Of
| this section. and TO make, alter. amend,
and enforce all needful rules and regu-
lations to secure said obedience, applies
| only to such provisions Of the act as
are not clearly defined; as for instance.
the operation Of cars with proper and
safe equipment. appliances" &c.
The speed limits. 1t was contended, are
clearly defined, and, while regulations
may be promulgated regarding this mat
| ter also such regulations cannot, in view
of the language Of the act, limit the
| speed at which cars shall be run other
than as expressly provided in the act
itself-that is, fifteen miles per hour in
the city and twenty miles per hour In the
| suburbs.
The attorney for the company requested
more time in which to secure and pro-
duce further authority for his contention,
| which request was granted.

BETTER SERVICE
FOR CHEVY CHASE
Citizens Complain of Insuffi-
cient Car Schedule.

The Chevy Chase Citizens Associa-
tion has asked the District Electric
Railway Commission to recommend to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
an all-night schedule for the Chevy
Chase cars, or, at least, the last Chevy
Chase car shall leave Fifteenth street
and New York avenue at 1880 a. m
Complaint was also made Of the lack
OF through car service on Sunday night.

uce Of the rule Of the Capital Traction
Company which requires that passen-
gers on through Chevy Chase cars,
southbound. shall transfer to the U
street cars at Fourteenth and U streets,
where these cars are usually very much
crowded, instead of at Rock Creek loop,
where the U street cars are practically
empty.
Recommendations were made In the
matter of these complaints at the meet
ing of the commission yesterday, as well
as in regard to the noise caused by the
cars operated on the Fourteenth street
line.
The commission yesterday forwarded to
the United States District attorney
twenty-one cases of violations of the
regulations OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and arrangements have been
made with the District attorneys Office
whereby these cases will be tried at an
early date. 1t is the intention Of the

cases Of violations OF orders or regula-
tions Of the Interstate Commerce Com

stitution as a result Of his appearance
before the Senate Committee on Finance

Of Prof. Boyle's speech before the Sem
ate committee:
to the State. Ninety per cent OF the
people Of North Dakota oppose this
agreement. 1t Is inimical to their inter-
eSts. AS a member of the faculty Of the
university he is dragging the institution
into politics. We object to that Prof.
Boyle will lose his job
How about liberty, of expression?''
Mr.. Twitchell was asked. Prof. Boyle
told the committee that he was express
ing his own opinions: that he did not ap-
pear as the spokesman of the university,
or as the representative Of any organiza-
ton"
He has brought the university into the
discussion Of a purely Political issue. "
replied Mr.. Twitchell He will pay the
penalty by separation from the faculty
Of our State University"
Former Gov. R. S. Lewis. Of North Da-
kota, expressed like sentiments. How
ever, we do not want to inject that ques-
ton into the matter at this time" said

POLITICIAN HELD
ON BRIBE CHARGE
Assessor Caught by Police
with Marked Money.

San Francisco, May 1S.-Assessor Henry
Dalton, Of Oakland, one Of the best
known politicians in the State, was ar
rested to-day for taking a bribe from
the Spring Valley Water Company for
reducing the corporations assessment.
Dalton's income was recently reduced
by the legislature from $4,000 in fees to
1880 In salary.
Recently he sent for the representa-
tive of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany and said that he proposed to in
crease the corporations assessment In
Alameda County about two and half
million dollars. A few days later be
again sent for the representative and
is said to have made this proposition:
IF I reduce the Spring Valley assess
ment two and q half millions, thereby
saving the corporation $4,000 a year in
taxes. will they give me half of what
they saver
The Spring Valley manager decided to
agree to Dalton's terms, but he warned
District Attorney Donohue, and It was
planned to set trap for the assessor.
Dalton made the terms and he was to
get 5000 to-day when he put in his
rolls with the reduced assessment and
the balance when these rolls were ap-
proved.
the Spring Valley agents, who paid him
came in before Dalton retired and ar
rested him. A search revealed the
marked money.
Dalton has been prominent In Oakland
politics for twenty years and his arrest
caused a sensation. -

day, no scores will be announced
until they have been approved by
Referee West, who, owing to in
juries, was unable to accompany the

held. after which the cars were dis

mittee checked up the standings Of the
various cars. The report will be sub
mitted to Referee West to-day. and.
after receiving his approval. will be
made public.
The run to Leonardtown was one Of
the easiest of the four days. being over
good dirt or macadam highways. The
new State pike. which has recently been
built from Morganza to the noon con-
troll, was too great a temptation for
any Of the participants to resist, and
one and all came over 1t as fast as safe
ty would permit. Near Charlotte Hall
there is considerable sand, but 1t is not
deep enough to cause a change of gears.
All along the route. people turned out

fore the pacemaker's machine, started
out at o'clock yesterday morning, reach
ing Leonardtown shortly before daybreak
After layover Of a few minutes, they
started back, making the fifty-seven miles
in two hours elapsed time.
The pacemaker's car. an Apperson. with
James Orme behind the wheel, was well
ahead Of its schedule when 1t neared a
bridge that was in bad shape. Orme
stopped the machine and the occupants
spent more than an hour bolstering up
the bridge and laying danger signs for
the contestants.
A few miles out OF the noon control
Barber and his Warren-Detroit overlook
the paoemaking car. and as they were
on time, one passenger was unloaded
to be brought in with Orme, while the
acting referee was carried into the noon
control by Barber. Jim Orme. however,
made up for this when he brought his
Apperson back from the noon control in
two hours and twenty minutes. running

Bert Robertson's Maxwell was running
last night after the conclusion Of the
run as sweetly as when it started, al

the four days as a contesting machine,

IMMUNE FROM SPEED LAWS.
New Auto Fire Engine ThrG
Stream 200 Feet.

Two automobiles in Washington are
immune from the speed laws. Besides
the new car used by Fire Chief Wagner,
there Is the new 100-horsepower fire
engine, which is to be put in service at
the Petworth engine house.
The new machine was given a trial
yesterday morning, and the pump threw
a stream Of water 200 feet through
hose 300 feet long. 1t is estimated the
cost of operating the new engine will be
less than one-third of that of the old
horse-drawn engines.
