BAR AUTOS FROM PARK
Yosemite Will Not Be Baptised With
Gasoline Fumes.

Washington. Dec. There is one
place in the United States where the
automobile is seeking in vain for adj
mission. That is the Yosemite Ma
tional park. The interior department
has been receiving numerous requests
for permission to operate automobiles
in the park. All of these were refused
and it was decided today that it is inn
practicable to permit automobiles in
this park because their presence
would practically eliminate travel by
stage, the roads being in such con-
dition that it would be dangerous for
teams and automobiles to meet.
The department also has made q
rule that no visitors be allowed to
carry firearms into the park. Arms

posts and held for the owner or, if he
is not coming out by the same road

ASSUMES new POWER
The 1. c. c. VIII Regulate the Inter-
change of Cars.

Washington, Dec. THE interstate
commerce commission today declares
its assumption of the Jurisdiction over
the practice Of a railroad or railroads
constituting a thu ough route affecting
the right Of thA shipper to safe and
speedy transportation of his freight.
The decision was handed down by
Commissioner Lane in what was
known as the car shortage case. in
which the Missouri and Illinois Coal
company complained of the embargo
established last winter by the Illinois
Central railroad against the develop
ment of coal from mines on it's lines
III Illinois to points in Missouri.
The railroads defense was that if it
allowed its cars to go to lines in Mis-
souri, the cars would be confiscated
and the Illinois Central would not have
sufficient equipment to conduct its To-
cal business. The commission holds
that the temporary conhscation by
carriers of the cars of other railroads
and the placing of embargoes against
cars being sent off the lines of the
owners are alike unlawful and the rail-
roads are expected to make such rules
for the return of cars as will termi-
nate such abuses"
Under this decision all of the car
Interchange rules of the American
Railway association become subject to
the regulations of the commission, af-
fording it absolute jurisdiction over
the transportation as well as over the
charges of all freight

STILL SHY ON DOCKS
Holiday Says we Compare Unfavor-
ably With Other Nations.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Civil Engineer
II. c. Holiday, chief of the bureau of
yards and docks of the navy depart
ment, in his annual report, says that
drydocks at New York, Puget Sound
and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii the United
States will be far behind other great
naval powers in docking facilities. He
explains that the single British dock
yard at Portsmouth has more dry docks
than all the navy yards of the United
States and that Germany and France
also have better facilities. This in face
of the fact that the coast line of the
United States on the Atlantic alone is
greater than the total coast line of all
of the other three countries mentioned.
1.-THE disparity in docking facilities,
he says, becomes all the more appar-
ent when it is considered that in the
foreign countries there are many good
commercial docks, whereas the United
states is very deficient in this regard

WANT new MONEY
Banks Told Mint Has All Orders It
Can Fill.

Washington, Dec. There is an
extraordinary demand in the east and
south, characteristic of the Christmas
holiday season. for quarter and half
dollars of the 1911 issue. So great is
the call that the Office of the director
of the mint does not feel warranted
in meeting it in full. Treasury Off
Gals are unable to determine whether
the demand is produced by desire of
people to make small presents to their
friends in new money, or wish of
the banks to advertise to their patrons
that they are distributing 1911 coins
There is always a strong public senti-
ment in favor of new money.
Because of this great demand,
which is probably 20 per cent larger
than ever before word has gone
forth to the bankers that for the
present they need make no more APP
plfcations for new quarters and halves
coined at the Philadelphia mint. as
that institution has more orders than

DEFECTIVE RAILS.

Belnap OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday, TO the effect
that defective rails caused the terri.
Bile disaster to the Lehigh Valley rail
road train August 25, 1911, by which
80 people were killed and 62 injured
will be read with interest by all whose
business or inclinations cause them t.
patronize railroads. The inspector
calls attention to the fact that the
danger limit has been reached at thi
day when heavier trains are beip
run yearly. Accidents due to defe"
tive rails are on the increase, and
corporations to whom so many are
trusting themselves daily should be
forced to see that all danger from
railroad travel is minimized as much
as possible. During the past few
years a number Of terrible accidents
lbave occurred on the railroads in the
United States, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission should be
clothed with the power Of entering
into an exhaustive investigation OF
the conditions under which railroads
are operated.

REASONS FOR ANNEXATION.
FIRE PROTECTION.

Alexandria City furnishes electrl-
city. gas, water, police and fire pro-
lection: A. Alexandria and Fairfax coun-
ties collect the taxes.
If a crime is committed in the
neighborhood proposed to be annexed
to the city of Alexandria, the police
of this city, employed and paid by
our tax payers are called upon to SO
out, make the arrest. ferret out the
cause, and present it in court. Our
grand jury finds the indictment; our
jury and court try the case; our jail
houses the prisoners, and the tax
payers OF Alexandria City pay the
bill; it does not cost the county a
cent.
If a fire occurs in the neighbor-
hood proposed to be annexed, an
alarm is turned in at the Alexandria
Fire Department. Our horses are
raced through mud and mire; our
expensive engines are bumped and
banged over uneven roads; our hose
and apparatus are used, and often dam
aged: the members of our volunteer
companies leave their business, or
their beds, and hurry to the rescue;
and the tax payers of Alexandria city
pay the bill. 1t does not cost the
County a cent Every member of
the fire department remembers that
few years ago, fire occurred in
Fairfax County. Our department res
pended, and the men worked nearly
all night to save the endangered prop
erty. Several hundred feet of hose
was destroyed; the bill was present
ed to the authorities Of the County,
in which the fire occurred, and they
declined to pay, though they had COL
lected hundred times that amount
in taxes from this property. No, the
tax payers of Alexandria City paid
the bill; it did not cost the County
cent.
This territory is a burden to the
city of Alexandria today. its residents
are dependant upon Alexandria for
safety. protection and city convent
ences; then why should not AleXan-
dria City collect the taxes?
