ON THE LINE
OF NEW TROLLEY ROUTE
Work Begun on Right of Way
From Chevy Chase to
Great Falls.

With surveyors on the ground today
laying out the line of a new trolley rail-
road which will make a direct connec-
ton between Washington and the Mary
land side of Great Falls definite informa-
ton was secured today relating to the
purpose of a coterie of capitalists who
within the past two weeks have secured
options on practically all of the farms
extending in a straight line between
Chevy Chase. Md; Bethesda, Rockville
and Great Falls.
Not only will the new owners of all of
this farm land build a trolley line. but
1t is also said to be their purpose to con-
struct a magnificent boulevard. which
will practically parallel the trolley line.
Much Money Already Paid.
All of the options executed expire on
or about the first of the year. and since
the amounts deposited with the farmers
as security for the purchases being con-
summated runs anywhere from $500 to
81 600 per farm. it is obvious that the
capitalists are very much in earnest and
that they already have much money in
volved in the deal.
Aside from providing a nSw trolley line
which will run through a picturesque
section of country and which is likely
to prove a profitable investment, the
hackers of this big enterprise have taken
options on the great areas of adjacent
| farm land, with an idea Of inducing the
building along their line of a series of
magnificent country homes. with large
grounds surrounding each house.
The new trolley line will have a Wash
ington connection over the lines of the
Capital Traction Company, with which
it VIII connect at Bradley lane, Chevy
Chase.

ITALIAN NOTE RECEIVED.
This Government Advised of Rea.
sons fer Tripolitan War.

The Italian expose de motif has been
delivered by the Italian charge here.
Count Negrotto. 10 Acting Secretary
Adee, and turns out to be practically the
same explanation of the motives that in
fiuenced Italy to declare war upon Tur-
key that made by the Italian premier
in Rome last week.
The State Department. probably owing
to the severe censorship maintained over
the Algerian cables. has no news of the
material developments in the war. if, in
deed, the present relations between Tur-
key and Italy can be called one o. hos
tlities
The officials incline to the belief ap-
parent in European chancelieries, that
the signatories to the treaty of Berlin
are quietly exerting themselves to
bring about a settlement of the issues
between Italy and Turkey on the basis
of cessation of Tripoli TO Italy and
financial compensation to Turkey. II is
believed that the plan would have al
ready been carried out had il not been
that Italy thought it necessary to first
take actual possession of the Algerian
coast towns as a preliminary to insist
ing upon a recognition of the perma-
nence of the status quo from a terri
torial point of view.

large cemeteries west of Chicago. The
village council last night passed an ordi-
nance authorizing a toll to be charged

of a vehicle tax, which will place a pro-
hibitive cost on every funeral process
sion going that way. The rates are as
follows:
For single horse vehicle. -.
For double-horse vehicle. So.
For single-seated automobiles, $40.

ers OF hearses must pay IS to use the
