TO THE COURT
AMENDED BY RECEIVER
New Phase in B. & w. Transit

ciprocaI Transfers.

transfers in Washington through his ef

pany TO make reciprocal transfer ar
ransements at lith and Kennedy streets.
today amended his petition in accordance
with leave secured last week from Justice
Wright.
The object OF the amendment. accord
ing to Harry r. Lerch is to present to
the court the same state of facts as We're
involved in the case of the Chicago Street
Ra -lway Company agt. B.air, recently
decided by the United States Supreme
Court. by this amendment the establish
ing Of the value of the franchise rights
of the Baltimore and Wash .ngton Transit
Company. held by the receiver is set
forth as the ground for the auxiliary
equitable proceeding. the object of which
is to enable the court to authorize the
receiver to sell the property, if necessary.
Plea in the Amendment.
The receiver in the amendment tells
the court that the property rights OF MS
company are entirely dependent for their
value upon the right of the corporation
to have reciprocal transfer arrangements
with the Capital Traction Company.
Until such right is established. he says.
the road cannot he operated at a pTont
or sold to advantage.
The disclaimer by the Capital Traction
Company of such right the receiver says.
constitutes a cloud or the title of the
roperty. which he holds as an officer OF
the court, and should be removed by
court of equity. The damage done to tie
Baltimore and Washington Transit Com
pany by the refusal of the Capital Trac-
ton Company is great and irreparable.
the receiver says. Unless the equity court
takes jurisdiction. Mr.. Shreve states, the
Baltimore and Washington Transit Com
pany will he subjected to multiplicity
of suits at law by passengers who, nav
ing paid u fare of five cents. claim the
right to ride free over the route of the

Religion in the Schools.

THE teacher in influencing toward re-
iigion In education Is to persuade and
inspire a love for God" President Charles
+. Thwing of Western Reserve University
Of Cleveland. Ohio, said at the session
last evening, when the general topic was
Religion in Education.
The religious teacher in the sehoolhouse
should nave three characteristics. said
President Thwing. First, intellectual
discrimination. He should know the great
truths of religion. and the small truths:
and, what is more important, he should
know the great as great and the small
as small.
Second. The teacher who is religious
will be broad. If he Is Protestant.
would have him know and feel the his
torc and personal work of the Roman
Catholic Church. If he is a loyal ad-
herent of any denomination of the Prot
estant faith / would have him recognize
the values of the teachings in other de-
nominations. Ii he is Unitarian, ! would
have him sympathetic with the Presby-
terrain view if he is a Presbyterian or
Baptist he should recognize the mighty
truths and atmOspheres of the Unitarian
faith

found there was no church within 400

measured and found there was no

In furtherance of the plan to show that
the excise board does occasionally close
a saloon. Mr.. Hogan asked about several
well known clubs. one or two of which
have passed off the books. owing to an
inability to get liquor license.
II have not said the excise board never
closed any saloons, protested Mr.. Shoe
maker.
No said Mr.. Hogan. but you have
set forth with a great wealth of detail
the fact that the excise board has open
ed many new saloons or allowed many
transfers.
Mr.. Shoemaker made the direct acctisa-
tion that one saloon had been closed and
one left open because the man whose
license was left unimpaired had friends
