A DARING WAGER.
The Liberty Major Vakse Took With
the Eccentric Gar Paul |.

Paul l., the eccentric ear Of Rus
sia, assassinated in 1901, was very
particular as to his dress and con-
sidered trihing matters us of SUI
preme Importance. This popularity
was once taken advantage of by an
officer of the guards, Major Naksel,
to win a wager. The major, the
joker of the army, had bet several
hundred rublcs that he would tweak
the tail of the emperor's wig on pa
rade.
The next day, the story runs, the
emperor happened to be present at
early parade and, as chance would
have it, took position for a moment
Immediately in front Of the daring
major. Brcathless with excitement
and terror, Vaksel's companions be-
held that rash officers right hand
steal slowly from his side, rise to
the level of the czar's neck and give
the wigs hanging tail most decid-
ed tweak.
In an instant the emperor's face,
pale with fury, was turned upon
Vaksel's countenance, which, how
ever. reflected only an expression of
childlike innocence, mingled with
the most deferential astonishment.
"Who dared do that" demanded
the cnraged czar, his eyes flashing
evidence that his most dangerous
mood was upon him.
81 did, your majesty" said YAK
sci, who, however his heart may
have huttered, managed to preserve
outwardly unruffled calm, together
with an expression Of innocent sur
prise. 'Tt was crooked, your majes-
tv." Ii 3 led in a confidential un-

HEPBURN MAKES RULING

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, October s.

ager. on the stand, reiterated his in
ability to tell in detail for what GER
tain amounts of money, paid to in
were actually used.
Now" said Senator Hepburn, IF you
were the custodian of Senator Stephen
sons funds and had charge of their
it seems you were the
person swho was responsible under the
law for keeping an account. You are
supposed to know not only that GER
tain sums were paid to certain indi
viduals, but also you should know just
what those individuals did with the
money.
THE rule is that where charges are
officially made and no record can be given
of funds admittedly spent the presump-
tion Is that they were wrongfully used
and the burden Of proof is in the person
against whom the charges were pre-
ferred.''

RAIL WAYS ARE SCORED

West Rock Creek Citizens

rights of the citizens in manner not
equaled in any other city of the country.
speakers at the first fall meeting of the
West Rock Creek Citizens Association
last evening urged universal transfers.
and expressed opposition to any attempt
to deviate from the present half and
half financial plan affecting the District
government
Charles w. Darr, counsel for the Cham
Der of Commerce in the pending universal
transfer proceedings in the District courts,
led the attack against the railway COM
panies and criticized Gen. George II. Har-
ries, vice president of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. for his
reported expression of opinion. in effect.
that all persons concerned in the fight for
universal transfers in the District were

Others followed Mr.. Darr, including
Maj. George \. Armes, and added to the
denunciations already uttered. The
speakers Indignantly asserted that the
street railway companies run" things
entirely their own way
Want Universal Transfers.
On motion of George w. Offutt jr., the
association unanimously decided to enlist
in the fight with the Chamber of Com
merce and other bodies for universal
transfers. During the course Of the de-
batting Maj. Armes and Col. ]. L. TAFT
both argued that the Commissioners
should be petitiOned to make regula-
ton within ten days compelling the street
fers until the time the decision had been
handed down by the courts either one
way or the other. This was decided to
be too drastic measure, and one that
the District Commissioners are not vest
ed with the power to put into effect.
Mr.. Ofutts resolution was as follows:
THAT the city of Washington and Dis
trict of Columbia constitute a trans
portatiOn unity. and that the division OF
| the streets and avenues of the District
among two or more street railway COM
panies, with privilege to each of charg-
| ing separate whole fare for a portion
| of through ride from one part of the
District to another is illogical and op-
pressive, in effect denying the people the
| convenient and reasonable use of trans
portation over the public highways to
which the payment of a full railway fare
| justly entities them.
Therefore, we believe i'm the prompt
establishment of a system of universal
transfers in the District of Columbia, and
we heartily favor all efforts being made
to that end. hereby pledging the assist
ance of this association and it's members
