An important question will be sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission by the District electric railway
commission as the result of a meeting
OF the latter body yesterday. Under the
regulations adopted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission all street cars
must stop for passengers at regular
stopping places, unless there has been a
delay in traffic or unless the car is
crowded.
A violation of this regulation was re-
ported to the commission, the complain
apt citing the number, time, and position
of car which left him and other would
be passengers standing in the street. AS
usual, the commission sought police as
sistance to identify the motorman who
had failed to stop his car, in order that
prosecution be instituted, but a report
received yesterday from the police au-
thorities said that it was impossible to
identify the man, as the Capital Traction
Company. the employer of the motor
man, had declined to give his name or
to render any aid in the matter.
Inasmuch as the public would have no
redress in the event of a company shield
ing an emplOye who had violated the
law, the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will be asked to make the regulation
apply to the company and not TO the
offending motorman. 1t is held that this
can be done under the law, which spe-
Citically declares that the officers as we'll
as the employees Of each road shall obey
the regulations of the commission. Com
plants that motormen will not stop for
passengers are quite frequent, one being
received yesterday by the commission
while the former case was under con-
sideration.
Taokma Car Service.
Some days ago a complaint was re-
ceived from a resident OF Takoma con-
cerning the poor car service to that point
Investigation was made, with the result
that Executive Officer Eddy was in
structed to prepare a regulation which
will remedy conditions. Three observa-
tions at the loop near the corner OF
Seventh street and Florida avenue show
ed that the cars arriving from Bright
wood and points beyond between $40 and
$40 in the morning were greatly over
crowded, the excess over the seating ca
pacity in each car ranging from nineteen
to twenty-nine. In the late afternoon
the same conditions prevail. even though,
as in the morning. the cars run at short
intervals
1t was reported that a number OF mo-
tormen had been arrested and forfeited
collateral for violating the regulations
by crossing the junction at the corner of
Eighth and East Capitol streets with
out stopping. and at an excessive rate
of speed. This action was the outcome
of a complaint from residents in the
neighborhood. Quite a number of other
complaints were received and acted upon.
One of the writers asked that the cars
be kept cleaner.
Executive Officer Eddy submitted his
report Of his recent visit to the conven-

! during the contest. The same number Of
votes as are given on a subscription to-
day will be given on a subscription for
the same term on any day during the
contest.
Old and New Subscribers.
A new subscriber is one who was not
receiving The Herald regularly by car
rier or mail on the date (September I9
that the tour contest was announced.
a new Sunday subscriber is one who
was not regularly served with a COPY Of
he Sunday Herald on the day the con-
test started September I9). A person
r1ay have been taking The Daily Herald
and now wishes to subscribe for The
Sunday Herald also. Any payment that
he may make on the Sunday subscription
will be considered new. The fact that a
subscriber is taking The Daily Herald
does not make him an old subscriber
for The Sunday Herald should he sup
plement his daily subscription by adding
the Sunday edition to 1t. The same rule
applies if the subscriber is taking The
Sunday Herald and desires to also take
the daily edition.
Extensions.
Should a new subscriber. after having
paid three months or more, desire to nav
mis- subscription for a longer period, he
will be considered a new subscriber. Con-
testants should write the word ''exten-
sion" across the margin of such a SUBJ
scription order when turning it in.
To Start at Future Dates.
When candidates find that subscribers
would be glad to help them in the cam
paign, but are now paid in advance for
other daily papers, and do not desire
to receive two daily papers at the same
time, they may take ADVANTAGE of such
condition by taking the subscription or
der for The Herald to start at such fu-
ture date as the subscriber may desire.
In sending in such subscriptions the
starting date should be marked in the
space provided for this purpose. Remem-
Der that candidates have the privilege to
accept and receipt for all money that
they may be able to secure.

STATEHOOD BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Arizona and New Mexico One
Step Nearer Admission.
ARIZONA RECALL NOT LIKED
Joint Resolution Provides that that
Provision of Constitution Shall
Again be Voted Upon
by People.
ARIZONA RECALL NOT LIKED

Washington, May 24.-By vote OF
214 to 81 the house adopted the joint
resolution admitting the territories of
Arizona and New Mexico to statehood.
The resolution itself was passed
without division, the record vote oc-
curing on a motion by Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois, to recommit the
resolution to the territories commit
tee with instructions to report a sub
stitute providing for the immediate
admission of New Mexico under the
constitution approved by its people,
and of Arizona upon the elimination
from it's constitution of the provision
for the recall of the judiciary" Thir-
ty-three Republicans voted with the
Democrats against the Mann motion.
The resolution as passed, however.
proposes an amendment to the Ari-
IONA constitution providing that the
Judiciary of the new state shall not
be subject to recall by popular vote
This amendment is not mandatory
and Is merely proposed for submission
to the electors of Arizona for their
VI ICJSCllOll at lto III Sl gen
eral election for state and county Of
ficers.
If the majority of the electors &C
cept the amendment the much dis
cussed judiciary recall provision will
be stricken from the constitution, but
If the amendment is turned down
Arizona may enter the nnion with its
recall provision without further action
by the house of representatives.
The house thus indirectly accepted
the recall proposition. The only adj
vantage gained by the opponents of
the recall of the judiciary is that the
people of Arizona will have an op-
portunity to vote upon the question.
President Taft and many other Of
ficials are hopeful that the result will
be favorable to the amendment, when
the matter goes before the people of
arizona.
