Be Regulated Under Com
miSSi0nerS' Directions.

Following a recommendation made by
the Chamber Of Comerce about two
months ago, the interstate commerce
railway commission. today issued the
following order:
For the purpose of bringing under con-
troll of the members Of the metropolitan
police force. the movement Of street
cars at street crossings, subjecting the
street cars to the same direction all
other vehicles using the streets, for the
purpose Of avoiding congestion and in
surfing the safety of passengers, 1T is
ordered that the several street rail-
way companies Of the District of Column
bia be- and they are hereby. required to
give such directions to their motormen
in charge OF street cars that will con-
form to the requirements OF the Com
missioners Of the District Of Columbia
as to the movement of street cars at
street crossings
Measures for the relief Of street car
congestion at crossings have been under
consideration for some time. the Chamber
of Commerce having first taken the mat
ter up with the District police officials
several months ago. Maj. Sylvester. su-
perintendent of police. has been working
with a committee from the chamber. and
the matter has been under discussion In
the Chamber of Commerce, the police de-
partment. the Interstate commerce COM
mission and the latters local electric rail-
way commission.
Today's ruling follows the Investigations
made by each Of these bodies, and places
the control of street cars. as we'll as all
other vehicles, In the hands of the cross
Ing policemen at the various street cross
ings where car congestion Is OF frequent
occurrence.

Negotiations for the loan were first
attempted with George +. Fleming, vice
president of the company. In Mr. Flem-
ings absence yesterday, Mr.. HilIyer
took up the matter and carried it to
the stage that ended in Jefferson's ar
rest.
There was young man In the Office
who accompanied Jefferson to the trust
company building. He mysteriously
disappeared. I feel sure he was an &C

Jefferson securing the money from us

through a title company. which pays

sponsibility," said Mr.. Steliwagen.

Bundles OF photographs showing how

SURGEON RUPERT BLUE
MAY SUCCEED WYMAN
Believed That He Will Be Sur.
ge0n General of Marine
Hospital Service.

Surgeon Rupert Blue OF the public
health and marine hospital service. 1t is
understood, is to succeed the late Walter
Wyman as surgeon general
The selection OF an incumbent is made
by the President at the suggestion Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, under whom
the service operates.
There has been no formal announce
nent CT the appointment. but it is eener-
ally believed in official circles that Sur
geon Blue has been selected.
Two Strong Probabilities.
When Surgeon General Wyman died
there was much speculation as to his sue
cessor The choice. according to law. has
to be made from one Of the surgeons OF
the service. The rank and promotion of
officers Is much the same as in the medi-
cal service of the navy
There have been two strong probabilities
among the candidates. These have been
Surgeons Rupert blue and Joseph White.
Both are popular in the service and both
have records of efficient work.
Surgeon White has many friends in
washington. He was in charge of sup
pressing the yellow fever outbreak in
Surgeon Blue. brother Of Victor Blue of
the navy, Is younger man and was
under Surgeon White in the New Or
leans epidemic at that time.
DR.. White was afterward ordered to
San Francisco In charge Of the outbreak
of bubonic plague. The business men OF
San Francisco in tho early stages wanted
to suppress the fact that there was a
plague. After a system Of education by
the marine hospital service they admitted
the fact and assisted effectively in the
campaign against rats, which were shown
to have been the carriers Of the disease
Backed by Pacific Coast.
Surgeon Blue was put in charge of the
anti-rat campaign. After two years of
work he had cleaned up hundreds of thou
sands Of rats and had hundreds of
buildings in San Francisco either con-
demned and torn down or remodeled and
rendered ratproof. This was an immense
executive work. Surgeon Blues labors
here enlisted the support of the entire
Pacific coast delegation for him when
there was chance Of his becoming
surgeon general.
He was sent to Hawaii to conduct a
mosquito campaign. He was ordered back
to Washington, however. where he ar
rived this week, and is now awaiting the
decision OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
as TO his future status.

MAKES NEW SLOW RECORD.
Schooner Mary Langdon Takes A
DAYS to Cover 1856 Miles.

BOSTON. December 16.-The schooner
Mary Langdon. just arrived from Rock
land, Me, has established new slow
record. Rockland is 1S5 miles from Bos-
ton. and the Langdon covered the dis
lance in exactly forty-seven days max
ing an average of about three and a hall
miles day. The schooner was launched
thirty years ago, and is not considered
safe in a storm. Therefore, her COM
mander took no chances. Whenever there
was the least sign of a blow he started
for shelter. There was hardly a port be-
tween Rockland and Boston that was not
visited during the trip just ended.

IN SECRET
Army Officers Unwilling to Dis

SIXTH SOLDIER ARRESTED
Now Estimated That Property Dam
age Has Amounted to Mil
lion Dollars.

JUNCTION CITY. Kan, December l6
Military officials at Fort Riley today
continued their investigation of the al
legged plot to annihilate the post with fire
and dynamite. details of which became
public with the confession Tuesday night
of Private Michael Quirk. The same Sc
crecy which has characterized the move
ments of the officials since the beginning
of the investigation weeks ago was main
tanned.
1t is said details of the alleged plot
might not have been made public for
many days had not Quirk's friends threat
ened habeas corpus proceedings to obtain
his release unless the charge against him
was definitely stated. Following these
threats army officials were forced to have
warrants Issued. The arrest of Rev. &.
M. Brewer. former army chaplain, was
in charge of federal authorities, and that
of Mrs. Anna Jordan, later released, fol-
lowed.
Sixth Arrest Made.
Trumpeter John Grille, of Battery e, 9Th
Field Artillery, was arrested late yes
terday in connection with the dynamite
explosion and fires at Fort Riley.
Grille is the sixth soldier arrested since
the Investigation of the explosions be-
came public, following Private Quirk' s
confession that he caused the explosions
at the instigation Of the Rev. Mr.. Brewer
former chaplain at the fort.
The few army officers who could be in
duced to talk privately of the explosions
declared that Fort Riley has been for
nine months as near state OF terror as
well disciplined army post can get.
Get Threatening Letters.
Not only were there frequent incen-
diary fires, but three commanding Off
GERS of the post had received numerous
letters threatening them with death and
the fort with destruction.
The recipients of the letters were Brig.
Gen. W. s. Schuyler, Col. Charles P. Hat
field and Col. E. D. Hoyle. The letters
appeared to have been penned by diff
ferent persons.
Fort Riley has been under more than
double guard; sentries have been posted
constantly at the homes of the commits
stoned officers, and guards have spent
each night in the cellars of these homes
in order to Illustrate possible plans to de-
stroy the houses by dynamite.
Sergeant Shot by Mistake.
Orders were issued to shoot any stran-
ger seen prowling around the grounds. A
sergeant was shot in the hand by mis-
take one night. Several mysterious per-
sons were fired upon, but none was shot
fatally.
Rumor has it that practically all the
members of one battery are involved in
the plot which is said to have had for its
purpose the destruction of the fort.
That the destruction wrought at the
fort since last March would not be less
than 100000 was asserted yesterday.
The biggest loss was sustained when the
uuartermaster's storehouse. apart from
other buildings, was burned the night of
March IA. The structure, which cost APP
proximateiy $3.50. ZOO, was a total loss.

A guide OF the party was a member OF
the Blackfeet tribe. and it was on This
guides invitation that Mr.. McClintook
made the tribe a visit. The visit length
eneQ INTO a stay OF months, ana tnell
years. The Indians took note of the visit
ing white man while he was noting them,
and finally Mad Wolf, war chief and high

tire days, adopted the visitor as his own

During his stay with the Indians and on
subsequent visits Mr.. McClintock took

the House by "a vote of 300 to ], and
is now pending before the Senate.
Russia seems to have become extreme
