SUIT TO COMPEL TRANSFERS
Washington Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Line Invokes Law
Against Railway

A suit to test the validity of the
statute providing universal transfers
on street car lines in the District of
Columbia was inaugurated in the Dis
trict Supreme Court of Washington
yesterday afternoon when the Balti-
more washington Transit Company
filed proceedings to compel the Capital
Traction Company to accept their
transfers at Fourteenth and Kennedy
streets northwest for a continuous
five-cent ride in the District. The
Capital Traction Company is allowed
ten days to answer TO the charge.
Henry w. Williams, counsel for the
Observation-Disclosures and Annapolis
Electric Line and former president of
the road before il went into the hands
of receiver, prepared the suit in his
Baltimore Office, in conjunction with
Attorney Harry F. Lerch. of Wash
ington.
August 81 last was the date on
which the Capital Traction Company
refused the transfers of the other
electric line and this was also the day
the Washington Transit be-
gan operation of two cars between
Fourteenth and Kennedy streets in
Washington to the District line at
Takoma Park.
Since that time attorneys for the
Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis
Company have discovered a statute,
on the books for years. which provides
UNIVERSAL transfers in the District
This VS. unknown during the recent
transfer lobbying in Congress which
failed to free the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and the Capital
Traction Company into a reciprocal
transfer agreement. 1t is charged
that the two companies knew of the
statute but agreed not to invoke it
against each other.

THE PASSING OF THE WHISPERS
But The Greatest Men in History Have
Grown Boards

BY some people whiskers have al
ways been regarded as funny. Why
it is hard to understand. Not long
ago the writer asked well-known
humorist for the reason, but could
get no light.
Yet the humorist admitted that
the beard is good for a laugh any
day and this is true whether theihir-
suite adornment be in the form of NUT
ton chops. imperial, chin wagglers.
fringe la Horace Greeley, full beard
-moth-eaten or flowing bifurcated
whiskers made famous by Cover nor
Hughes or any other of the many
modes and fashions by which manly
beauty is or was adorned.
The past tense is used advisedly.
for the whisker in all its glory is
passing. 1t is now announced that in
few years all men will be smooth
shaven. No woman, so runs the pre-
diction, will have anything to do with
a man who has hair on his face The
physicians will insist on moving the
alfalfa patch to get rid of the germs
that Turk therein. The humorists
will raise such gale of laughter that
the whiskers will be blown away.
The BARRIERS will manipulate the fash
ions for the world and will decree
that the hair on the face be tortured
off regularly each morning.
But why? Why The greatest men
in history have grown boards. The
Master, we are told, had a divided
beard. The patriarchs, the prophets,
the ancient kings, the vikings, many
of the poets, scientists, painters,
statesmen, knights and warriors had
the whisker to fill out the full measure
of manly beauty. Yet this is the
womanage, we are informed, and per-
haps men should look as much like wo-
men as possible. At any rate, he
hirsute banner of manhood, the whisk-
er that has waved in the winds of the
ages, the beard of our daddies. is
doomed. Frederic News.

HEAVY RAINFALL FOR AUGUST
Almost Record For A Steady Down.
pour in August-Water Supply
Much Aided

The invasion of the Southern storm
that has been whirling, losing energy
meanwhile, in Georgia and South
Carolina since last Saturday, helped
to make an unusual August rainfall.
the greatest on record for any seven
consecutive days of the month.
There have been nine rainy days
hand running in August in which
more water has been measured official
ly in this town, and those were from
August Is to % in 1873. The total
then was 6.56 il hes. The total up
to about IL o'clock Thursday night,
when the measures of cloud spillings
went home, was 6.52.
The official rain guage at the Naval
Academy registered LII inches on
Wednesday and III inches again on
Thursday. These are records of the
rainfall for the preceding days, as it
is not measured until $50 p. m. the
succeeding day.
The Southern disturbance struck
out to sea between Atlantic City and
Nantucket to shake up the liners a
bit. 1t was not in its passage a thing
to make shippers fearful. The high
est wind it raised hereabout, from the
east, was less than thirty miles. Up
at Nantucket it got a higher gait on,
forty-six miles, but that is not great
for Nantucket. But it may develop
in the open. Its fitting hence is one
of the seasons that the Weather Bu-
reau has for believing that the rain is
over.
So far there has been this August
7.S9 inches of rain, which is 2.S6 in
excess of the normal for the month
More than all this excess, that is 3.21
inches, fell between midnight on We'd
nesday and SIS o'clock last night, and
this is considered some moisture for
so brief a period. but not record.
The rainfall was not as deep inland
as on the coast. The rain was gen.
eral throughout the country on the
Atlantic coast. The rain and gloom
belt was narrow, but quite long. Ma
turally all the seaside resorts, where
there is lot of water that does not
fall perpendicularly, got lot of it
and did not appreciate it.
That is why the trains coming from
the seashore were crowded and the
trains going down were not. The
weather chart was polka dotted with
the cloud mark from Maine to the very
end of Florida. The rain ceased short
ly before IL o'clock Thursday night,
and yesterday everybody was glad to
see sunshine once again.

A HILARIOUS MELANGE
THE Girl in The Taxi" A Musical
Comedy Of Fun and Merriment
Coming Sept. 8.

THE Girl in The Taxi, hilarious
melange of music, merrimet adj noun
tains of mirth, is announced at the
Colonial Theatre for an engagement
of matinee and night on Saturday,
September 9.
1.-The Girl in The Taxi comes
with an enviable record in this coun-
try and abroad. 1t scored a sensation
in Paris and eclisped all runs, where
long careers are common. In New
York it was greeted as the funniest
play Broadway had ever witnessed.
In Chicago it played to capacity bust
ness for upwards of $50 nights. In
Boston it broke all records for attend
ance and box Office receipts and carried
off high honors for length of engage
ment.
The story concerns the escapades of
pretty Mignon, wife of a perfume
manufacturer, and the efforts of Ber-
tie Stewart to keep an appointment
with her for midnight supper at the
Cafe Churchill. Papa Stewart, Ber-
ties father, while posing as the pos.
SCISSOR of all the domestic virtues,
goes away to the same restaurant tC
meet couple of chorus girls. Bel
ties cousin from Philadelphia. Percy
by name, who has come to New York
for throat treatment by physician
who practices chiefly among girls OF
the stage, turns up at the same din.
ing room to keep an appointment
with a vaudeville artistic. Father,
son and nephew meet under rather
embarrassing and laughable condi-
tions and confusion runs rampant.
The third act unsnarls the mix-ups
in way least expected and all the
guilty parties swear, with hands up
raised, that it will never occur again.
A cast of unexcelled comedians pre-
sent ''The Girl in The Taxi" which
contains just enough dancing, singing
and music to relieve the rapid-fire
pace maintained by the numberless
complications which crowd the play
from curtain to curtain.
