Under the franchises of the Virginia
Railway and Power Company the fol-
lowing facts are true:

and their use by any other than by those
to whom they are issued is unlawful.
2. Transfers are good only at the
point OF transfer, and on the first car
going in the direction indicated. Any
use OF transfers which does not comply
with these requirements is unlawful.
5. Transfers are not required to be
issued, and are never Intentionally is
sued, SO as to permit looping or trans
portation back in the direction from
which passenger came. To obtain
and use such transfers is unlawful.
The management feels sure that few
OF the public intend to defraud the

therefore, it has been liberal in the is
sue and acceptance of transfers, and

them.
: The company believes, however,
that our citizens are honest and
that large part Of the abuse Of the
transfer privilege is due to thoughtless-
ness or ignorance Of the lawful rights
OF the passenger. For these reasons
it has been decided to prosecute
no cases Of such fraudulent misuse

NO WAR WITH

Washington, April 1O.--The first ex-
preston in congress concerning the
situation on the Mexican border was
heard today when Senator Rayner, of
Maryland, addressed the senate on
that subject. Although democrat,
Mr., Rayner spoke in confidence of
the attitude of President Taft and ex-
pressed the opinion that there would
be no war with either Mexico or
Japan.
While he did not so express himself
in exact terms, it was evident that Mr..
Rayner had in mind the reports that
Japan is exerting herself to procure
a coaling station on the Pacific coast
of Mexico.
He was confident that Japan does
not seek war with the United States
and declared there could be no cause
for hostIlities between the two coun.
tries.
