committee Of the conference for the con-
sideration Of universal transfers, which
framed the new transfer bill, explained
the measure to the association In detail.
After the completion Of his address, the
bill was referred to the committee on
public conveyances for consideration.
Strong Endorsement was given the
plan of the Northwest Suburban Citi-
zens' Association for holding an elabo-
rate inaugural celebration, to extend
over the period of a week. The reso-
luton, which was framed by Col.

by James NJ Wood. Mr.. Wood said
that II the Inauguration were held in
Chicago or st. Louis or any big city
outside OF Washington II would be
made a gala affair, and that millions
of dollars would be advanced for Its
execution. He said that Washington
ought to be ashamed of the brilliant
opportunities 1t has had In the past for
drawing great crowds to the city, and
of the miserable use 1t has made OF
them.

Northeast Citizens
IndorSe Movement

The movement for obtaining a perma-

licemen and fremen was given strong
Endorsement last night by the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association, which
passed a resolution pledgihg It's support
Of proposed legislation in behalf OF these
public servants.
The pension fund at the present time
Is In deplorable condition" said nr.
l. D. Walter, chairman Of the police
and fire committee, In presenting the
resolution. There is due to those who
are on the pension roll at the present
time back pensions ranging from $50 to
800, and after the first of January there
viii be greater deficiency. A number
OF benefciaries are widows and orphans
who depend on the pension money for
their support. II something is not done
to maintain a permanent fund, there
viii be great suffering for want Of the
common necessities Of life by the widows
and orphans OF the men who gave their
best days for the protection Of the city.
1T was but q few weeks ago that two
fremen lost their lives IN the line Of
duty, and their widows and orphans de-
pend upon these pensions. There are also
policemen and hremen who have been In
jured In the line OF duty who depend
upon these pensions for their support
II a permanent pension fund II not main
tained, II win not be long before It win
be difIicult TO get good men 70 serve In
these departments. As the cost OF living
b 30 high, It Is impossible for them 10

COACHMAN UNABLE
TO OBTAIN BOND
Alleged Blackmail Case Is
Continued to Saturday.

Unable to procure bond after the origi-
nal amount OF surety had been cut in
half, william H. Cook, colored coach
man, accused of blackmailing Mrs. Rose
+. Mcfarland, of 245O Eighteenth street
northwest, last night slept in a cell at
the United States Jail.
II am so busy investigating this case
that l haven't had time to look after
bond for my client" said Attorney An
drew Wilson, who has been retained to
clear the coachman Of the charge Of ex-
tortIng large sums of money from the
woman by whom he was once employed.
Judge Pugh, of the Police Court, act
ing on recommendation of Assistant
United States Attorney Ralph Given, yes
terday morning reduced Cooks bond
from 5000 to $500. Judge Pugh refused
to further reduce the bond to $500, which
was requested by Attorney Wilson.
By agreement of prosecuting and de-
Tending counsel, the preliminary hearing
yesterday was postponed until Saturday
morning. Attorneys for each side desire
time in which to investigate. Mrs. Nc
Farland and her chief witness, Mrs.
Julia Ballenger, drove to the Police Court
In a taxicab and departed in the same
vehicle after a private conference in the
office of Mr.. Given. Mrs. Mcfarland re-
fused to talk, and Cook was not allowed
to speak to interviewers.

TRANSFER MEASURE
Is TURNED DOWN
Randle Highlands Refuses to
IndOrse Bill.

Before a strong speech by Col. Arthur
e. Randle, the universal free transfer
bill was put to rout last night before
theh Randle Highlands Citizens AssocI-
alton.
Startling the citizens with the state
ment that a bill providing for universal
transfers already has passed Congress,
Col. Randle pointed out the fact that a
passenger now may ride from Randle
Highlands to Great Falls and return,
travelling several miles over the Capitol
Traction lines without paying the Capt.
toi Traction Company a penny
I'm 1897 I was president and owner
OF the Capitol Railway, which ran be-
tween the navy yard and Congress
Heights. In that year Congress passed
a bill compelling the issuance of free
transfers at all points where the Met
ropolitan, Capital Traction, and Capitol
railways intersected
The law is in existence to-day, but
1t is not in force, because there is no
penalty prescribed for failure to issue
free transfers. While II was not in
tended at that time to pass a universal
transfer bill. the law that was passed
was the equivalent to a universal
transfer law. Since the passage Of
that bill the Metropolitan companys
name has been changed to the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany."
When Col. Randle concluded his ad-
dress, the association refused to indorse
the universal transfer bill, and adjourn
ment was taken. Prior to the discussion
Of the bill the following officers were
unanimously re-elected:
DR.. B. T. Woodward, president; r. L.
Bradbury, vice president; J. P. Riley,
secretary-treasurer, and George E.
Crane, sergeant-at-arms.

principle, has reached the conclusion
that 1t is not 'ethical-If he has been
quoted correctly-and has announced that
it must be modified or repealed.
by an unfortunate coincidence, the
new chairman Of the House Committee
for the District of Columbia has not only
expressed his opposition to the 50 per
cent feature Of the organic act, but be-
Heves sincerely he has discovered that
the United States never intended to pay
any part of the interest or principal of
the ass bonds, and that the many mil
lions Of dollars that have been paid from
the public Treasury on that account have
been paid without authority Of law, and
should, therefore, be refunded by the
District. This would seem like a fantas-
tic claim II II were made by a less
astute and experienced lawyer.
Whatever grounds there may be to
support this contention, the fact that the
chairmen of these two important COM
mittees are in accord upon the repeal OF
the half-and-half feature is one Of su-
preme importance to the Board of Trade
and should receive its careful and ear
nest attention.
THE report Of the committee on NUM-
cipal finance completely refutes the
contention Of the chairman of the Dis
trict Committee as to the 365 bonds"
Regrets Withdrawal.
In concluding his report, Gen. Har-
ries. whose duties in Louisville will
prevent further active work with the
Board, thanked his co-workers for their
and spoke with regret of
his necessary withdrawal from further
Official connection with the Board.

John Eynon, showed the acquisition of
1872 new members in the last year; a

with 692 for 1910; a balance in me

to $s,O37.29.

Night of Hardship.

After undergoing the thrilling expert
ence Of shipwreck and the hardship OF a
night in the open. exposed to the furies
of an icy gale, the pleasure parties
aboard the launches Augusta and Edna
Earle, of Alexandria, were found at II
o'clock yesterday morning on rocks near
River View, by AL HuIlings and a party
of searchers from Alexandria, aboard the
launch We Two.
Caught in the teeth of a gale which
rivermen say has not been equaled in
more than a score of years, the boats
were blown on the rocks shortly after
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and after
making Intellectual efforts to find assis-
tance the pleasure seekers decided to
spend the night there.
Aboard the Edna Earle were Mrs. Mat
tie Georgius, her daughter, Miss Regina

the ages of fifteen and forty-fve than
any other city in the United States" he
said, "and because consumption usually
attacks at this period of life, we find tie
tuberculosis rate in Washington higher
than in most cities of the country. This
condition will exist as long as the popu-
lation is divided according to age as 1t
is at present"
Destructive in Race.
"A serious difficulty arises here from
Washington's proportionately high COL
ored population. tuberculosis is pecu-
liarly destructive to members of the
colored race, and in all cities where
the colored population is as high as
Washington, we may look for q pro-
portionately high death rate from tu-
berculosis."
DR.. Wilson emphasized the necessity
for control OF the disease through mu-
nicipal authorities, particularly the
health department. He pleaded for
greater power apportioned to health de-
partments to carry on an aggressive
war for the prevention of tuberculosis.

WICKBRSHAM, SEES
NO COTTON "BBARS"
Attorney Generals Reply to
Southern Representative.

Attorney General Wickersham says
there is no evidence in the Department
OF Justice that a bear cotton pool has
been framed to depress the price of
cotton. He makes this statement in a
letter to Representative Aiken, of South
Carolina. who wrote to know why it was
that the government, now that it is prose
cutting the cotton bulls, was not also
taking action against the bears.
While I do not concur in the opinion
that it was the proper function of the
government TO interfere with the en-
hanced value Of a commodity that meant
so much for the wealth of this country,
1 assume that you can justify the prose-
cution legally" says Mr.. Aiken.
Bear pressure in Wall street has
forced a decline of fully 3 cents per
pound in the present market, thereby
robbing the South of approximately $685.
0O0,00O and giving it to foreign spinners.
Should not the government interpose? If
1t was right in the former instance, it is
ir this"
In his reply, the Attorney General
says
Il quite agree with you on the general
proposition that if cornering a product
which IS dealt in in Interstate commerce
for the purpose of increasing its price is
illegal, similar cOrnering for the purpose
of depressing its price is likewise illegal
The formation of a corner for the in
creasing of the price is easily understood
How a bear pool would operate,

do l know of the existence of any such
pool should be very glad. to have you
give me any detailed information avail
able to you going TO show the existence
and operation of any combination formed
for the purpose of depressing the price
OF cotton
The Attorney General concludes his
letter by calling attention to the fact
that the cotton corner case is now in
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
