pany against the Traction company. In
that particular case, Mr.. Thomas pres
ent plan is to ask permission to file a
brief and to render what help he can to
the attorneys for the complaining COM
pany.
The mandamus action may follow later.
after a careful study of the charters of
the street railway lines operating in the
District. 1t is considered probable that
these charters. containing provisions sim
liar to the one in the Transit company's
charter may be so construed as to call
for free transfers between intersecting
lines.
Grounds for Mandamus.
The provisions upon which mandamus
proceedings may be based were incor-
porated in the charters issued to the
Washington Railway and Electric and
Capital Traction companies when the
change was made from the old cable sys-
TEN of propulsion to the present electric
power. Counsel for the companies con-
tend that the transfer clause in the char
terS applied only to the then existing
situation, when the electric system had
not been installed and several smaller
companies were operating horse cars to
tide over the difficulty brought by the
destruction of the powerhOuSe.
If the corporation counsel decides that
these provisions offer the basis for a
good case, the mandamus proceedings
may be brought in the name of the peo-
pie of the District, whether the transit
company wins its case or not Mr..
Thomas would not make any prediction
last night as to the probable result of
his study of the charters in question,
but it is generally understood that the
authorization by the Commissioners to
take such steps as he thought advisable
was not given until Mr.. Thomas had de-
cided he had a good case.

VIII Take Action.

Recommendation that two plays, soon
coming TO Washington, be barred by the

all powerful, is known to no man. Wear

In the few short hours remaining tho
prophets rapidly scanned Washington.
Then came the farewell rcception-and
good night.
OF all the fezzes that yesterday bloomed
in Washington only two were to be seen
in the cold gray light of the early dawn
to-day. These belonged to those polished
Armenian gentlemen, who have been
systematically selling rugs. For three
days they laid aside their rugs, clung
to their fezzes and lived like kings. Every
door was open to them Yesterday they
learned that the doors of hospitality that
had so astonished them, were once more
closed. Their fezzes did not meet other
fezzes in mutual obeisance. With little
sighs they picked up their rugs and re-
turned once more to their former voca-
ton.

Denuded of fezzeS and despoiled of
cheer, Washington last night witnessed
the departure OF 5000 or more delegates
to the convention of the Mystic Order
OF Yelled Prophets of the Enchanted
Realm, and bemoaned the fact that
many. many years must elapse before the
jovial sages again return As silently
as they had come, the prophets vanished.
The New Willard Hotel, which at noon
was a place of carnival and song, took
on again that circumspection and dig
nifty that it usually carries; the lunch
rooms and cafes and buildings generally
took down the likeness of the horned and
bewhiskered sage who is oracle OF the
order. and at o'clock the swan song
was sung.

PATHETIC SCENE IN
 GOVERNORS OFFICE

San Antonio, Tex, September 7-(Spe- ial.)-An overjoyed wife, whose husband had been pardoned out of the peniten- tiary, falling upon her knees and offering prayer. formed most touching spec tacle in the private office of Governor Colquitt today. The woman, a daughter of Methodist minister of north Texas, came to Austin with her two little chill dren and made a personal appeal to the chief executive for pardon for her hus- band
 The husband had been sent to prison four years ago for period of 12 years upon being convicted of forgery in the sum of $1G0. The S100 was paid back long ago. and when these facts were made plain to Governor Colquitt, he at once signed the pardon and took it in person to his private secretary and asked that it be forwarded without delay to the head of the prison at Huntsville. When this was done, the woman offered most fervent prayer, mplOring divine guid ance to the chief executive of the state of Texas. The scene brought tears to the eyes of every one present.

 Tn 1915 the scene will again shift to either Richmond or Washington in order that the south and the nation may then and there rejoice over the victories of 90 years of peace. The same meeting will also be used to emphasize the progress of the United States during 100 years of peace with the mother country.
 This series will form a national drama The stage will be the south ,and the spec tators will be the world. A change of mind of the world relative to the south and it's prospects is the purpose of this drama. It is a vision. but not visionary It is in keeping with the slogan of the Southern Commercial congress, which Is, For Greater Nation Through a Greater South. Thus the agonies of 5f years ago are being used to strengthen national feeling rather than to strain it with reminders of the past"
