Usually these baskets were compare
lively not very large.
Recently, however, the Pima In
dams living near Ukiah wove an i'm
mense willow basket which is a rec
ord-breaker for size. From the bot
tom to the rim the immense basket
measures feet, while the outside
circumference covers rs feet. The
basket itself when empty weighs 25O
pounds, and the cone-shaped lid
weighs rs additional pounds, making
a total weight of 325 pounds.
When filled. with acorns, grain, ETC.,
the total weight will nearly reach
1000 pounds.
Very recently this baby" basket
was purchased by DR.. ]. W. Hudson,
Of Ukiah, and by him sold to the In
stitute of Arts and Sciences, of Brook

The big basket will be shipped to
its eastern destination. It is so large
that It cannot be put through the
door of an ordinary box car, and be-
fore being placed on board the car
the opening will have to be widened

CHAMBER In FIGHT
TO GAIN TRANSFERS
Counsel Will Aid the w. &
B. Transit Co.

The fight for universal transfers on
street railways took a new turn yester-
day when the Chamber Of Commerce d.
rected its committee on legislation to
offer counsel and aid to the Washington
and Baltimore Transit Company in the
suit now before the District Supreme
Court.
Chaplin Brown, general counsel OF the
Chamber, and also chairman OF the COM
mittee on law and legislation, yesterday
invited Attorneys Charles w. Darr and
Alfred E. Woods to represent the Cham
Der in the matter and to lend such as
sistance as they may to Attorneys w. B.
Williams and Harry F. Lerch, who rep
resent the receiver. Attorneys Darr and
Woods will confer to-day and will de-
eide whether they will act as requested
In this matter.
On top of the discovery of a section
of the law passed by Congress on Au-
gust 2. 1894, an account of which was
first published by The Washington
Herald, there has been discovered an
other steadfastly ignored section of the
law passed on May Is, 1896. This is
contained in the act OF Congress grant
ing a charter to the Capital Railway
Company that was built from Anacostia
to Eighth street northeast, In which II
is made mandatory that the Metropolitan
and the Capital Traction companies shall
issue transfers to passengers over the
Capital Railway Company at the points
of intersection of the road
Speaking of the section of the law OF
1894. Mr.. Woods expressed a belief last
night that the word transfer" as con-
tained in that section related more to the
transfer OF cars than OF passengers.
This Interpretation of the law of 1894
will not affect the claim of the Wash
ington and Baltimore Transit Company.
for Mr. Woods says the original charter
of 1908 and the amendments of 1911 make
the issuance of transfers obligatory on
the Capital Traction Company, and a
sufficient claim for the mandamus COM
pelling them to issue and to honor trans
fers on that line and the transit road at
Fourteenth and Kennedy streets.
