Richeson, who is confined in the
Charles street jail awaiting trial on the
charge of numbering Miss Avis Linnell,
cut himself with piece of tin early
today.
Counsel for the accused man state
that Richeson attempted to emascu-
late himself, inf1icting injuries which
made it necessary for physicians tc
complete Els act by an operation at the
prison hospital.
The act of the minister is not re-
garded by the Jail officials as an at
tempt to commit suicide although
there appeared to be some doubt on
this point among the legal fraternity
The attendants at the jail heard dis
turbance in Richeson's cell early in
the morning and when they inyesti-
gated they found the prisoner in great
agony. He had gashed himself with
a sharp Jagged piece of tin which he
had converted into a sort of knife
When the guards approached the
prisoner and inquired what the trou-
BILE was Richeson said excitedly:

A Belt Line Proposed.
70 the Editor Of The Star:

I read daily in The Star of the much
discussed street railway TRANSPORTATION
problem here. Why not have a belt line in
Washington with frequent fast service in
both directions, such as Toronto. Buff
falo and other cities have? For example
l suggest an outlet for the Massachu-
setts Avenue Heights projected line as
q foundation:
Double track belt line to be. built by
the C.. T. Co. over the Massachusetts
Avenue Heights route to Connecticut
avenue and Calvert street; across the
Calvert street bridge and then following
the existing route Of the New Jersey
avenue cars to New Jersey and Florida
avenues; then route Of Florida avenue
line to 9Th street northeast; then on new
tracks on Florida avenue to 10th street
northeast. south on 18th street to Poto-
mac avenue southeast, south on Potomac
avenue to street southeast, west on
I street to South Capitol street, north on
South Capitol street to G streets south
west, west on G street to Water street
across 14th street southwest, north
westerly along east side of Speedway on
parking and passing under B street
northwest to 18th street northwest, north
on 18th street to existing tracks at 18th
and F streets. then over F and G street
line and Pennsylvania avenue line to
38th and M streets northwest. continuing
on new tracks west on Canal road to
Chain Bridge road (Nebraska avenue).
north on Chain Bridge road to Massa-
chusetts avenue and then easterly ia
connect with Massachusetts Avenue
Heights route at Wisconsin avenue.
The general direction of the belt line
as I have outlined, could be easily plan
ned with alterations to suit the public
and afford direct transportation to such
places as the bureau of engraving, De-
partment Of Agriculture. American Uni
versity, Potomac Park, Speedway, Tidal

1t is thought that the meeting Of the
city councflS tonight will be a lengthy
one, inasni.ich as the ordinance providing
for the extension of the city limits will
come up for consideration. and may be
passed. Many of the members OF coun-
eli, it is thought, have prepared to make
speeches on the! ordinance, both for and
against its passage, and in view OF the
fact that the ordinance is subject to
amendment it is believed that much time
will be consumed in it's discussion.
This will be the most important matter
which will come before the council for
consideration, although considerable rou-
tine business will. also be presented.
