A pair Of leather gloves, evidently worn
by the thief with a view to eliminating
the danger Of leaving his finger prints
as a clew. led up to the capture yester-
day of Benjamin Wayne, a negro Janitor,
on a charge of robbing the safe of the
Surety Loan Company. in its office in
the Warder Building
When Marion l. Ashford. auditor for
the company, opened the safe yesterday
morning he saw that some one had un-
locked the strong OOx of the concern and
robbed il Of nearly 800 More than $500
had been left untouched by the thief,
and was scattered about in the bottom
of the safe.
On top OF the money Mr.. Ashford dis
covered the gloves, which had evidently
been left by the thief in his hurry to
escape before detection. He immedi-
ately decided to ferret out the thief
without complaining to the police, and
called one OF the elevator boys

Are these your gloves. boy" Ashford
asked, without giving the slightest inti-
nation of the robbery.
No, sir: think they belong TO Wayne.
the janitOr," the boy answered
Thereupon Ashford decided TO have the
janitor identify the gloves in the pres
ence OF a policeman. The elevator boy
found Policeman McOsker and then went
to the basement TO find Wayne. Nc
Osker hid behind the office door.
DO you want me?" the negro asked.
No; l just wanted to give you your
gloves. Wayne replied Ashford. The
negro took the gloves and thanked Ash
ford for them. He said he had left them
somewhere the night before when he was
cleaning up" and had forGcGten all
about them.
Precinct Detective Howe started TO
work on the case, and according to the
police Of the First precinct discovered
that Wayne had made a payment on a
gold watch and had paid nearly $50 worth
of debts

Next TO trying to get District Iegisla-

carbureters. altitude records, and the
like, being one Of the Country's leading
freside aviators. He had the whole
game down TO a fine point-except for an
actual ride-when he was invited yester-
day TO be the first civilian to get a free
trip in an army aeroplane
Mr.. Johnson felt that he was entitled
to an afternoon off-he's spending his va
cation working here on proposed IegisIa-
tiOn for the District-and accepted In a
hurry.
He drove out tc the aviation school
with Capt. James F. Oyster. J. Louis
Willige. A. BryIawsBi, and Mr.. and Mrs.

o'clock yesterday afternoon.
After hanging around the hangers for

found Lieut. Arnold waiting in a Wright
machine. 1t did not tell in the aeropIane
books how man gets into one Of the

some difficulty reaching his seat When
he was safely tucked in, he waved

Lieut. Arnold must have noticed his
passengers sang-froid and decided to
give him a real treat. for he took a
banked turn that made the spectators
gasp. The machine seemed to be falling,
but the army officer had 1t under con-
troll at all times and was merely show
ing his passenger how IT is done"

TRANSIT COMPANY

FIGHT TO COURT
Suit to Be Filed Against
Capital Traction Company.

Under Act of 1894.
ACTION BY RECEIVER

Letter Submitted to Justice Stnf-
ford shows Capital Line Refused
to Enter Into Agreement or to
Recognize Any Legal Duty-NeNH
komn Park and the Vicinity.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-30

The vexed question of universal
transfers was carried yesterday before
Justice Stafford. when Arthur L. Shreve.
receiver of the Baltimore and Wash
ington Transit Company, asked the
court for instructions as to the course
he should pursue with regard to the
Capital Traction Company, which re-
fuses to honor transfers issued on its
system by the company OF which he is
the receiver. Justice Stafford told him
to enter suit against the Capital Trac-
ton Company, and authorized him to
use the transit company's money to
carry on the suit
BASED ON OLD LAW.
Claim is made in the petition OF in
quiry presented TO the court yesterday
that the law passed by Congress August
2, 1894. makes the universal transfer
compulsory on all lines then existing and
which have been since built TO connect
with the Metropolitan Railroad lines.
Letters were submitted TO the court
showing that the Capital Traction Com
pany had been notified that the Wash
ington and Baltimore line would issue
transfers at Kennedy street and asking
an exchange OF accommodation upon
proffered terms OF adjustment
The letter from the Capital Traction
Company refusing 10 honor the issue and
declaring that their refusal to enter
into a transfer agreement with said COM
pany or to recognize any legal duty in
the premises and the grounds of that
position have been SO often and so fully
stated as TO require no further reitera-
ton at this time"
The petition fu"'her sets forth a claim
to have It's transfers honored by section
OF the act OF Congress approved May
g, 1905 which says: THAT the said COM
pany. in conjunction with the Capital
Traction Company. may receive a rate
OF fare not exceeding cents for each
passenger for one continuous ride over
the route aforesaid and the route of the
said Capital Traction Company within
thereof, and shall sell tickets at the rate
Of six for . cents
VIII File Petition.
After hearing the arguments presented
by Attorneys Henry w. Williams and
Harry l. Lerch for the Transit company,
Justice Stafford ordered that Mr.. Shreve
be authorized to file in the District Su-
preme Court a petition under the pro-
visions of the act approved August 2
1894.
The particular section OF that act upon
which suit will be based reads as fol-
lows:
Section That the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany is hereby authorized and required Immediately
TO make reciprocal transier arrangements with street
railroad companies whose lines now connect with lis
lines and TO furnish such facilities therefor as the
public convenience may require Upon the compile
ton Of the underground electric system provided fol
in this act the said Metropolitan Railroad ComIany
is hereby further authoized and required 10 enter
into reciprocal trackage arrangements with CONNECT
ing roads The schedule and compensation shall be

What the Death Mask Shows.

The value Of n plaster cast as por-
trait Of the dead or living face cannot
for moment be questioned. 1t must
Of necessity be absolutely true to ma
ture. 1t cannot flatter; it cannot carl
cature. IL shows the subject as he
was or is. not only as Others saw him
in the actual flesh. but as he saw him
self. And in the case Of the death
mask particularly it shows the sub
ject often as he permitted no one but
himself TO see himself He does not
pose; he does not try TO look pleas
ant" In his mask he is seen. as II
were. with his mask off.

Winter and Summer sun.

The sun Is nearer TO the earth In
winter than II is in summer II Is not
distance that determines the amount
Of heat that we got from the sun. but
the length OF time the sun Is above
the horizon and the direction In which
his rays strike us. In summer. a.
thought much farther from us. the sun
Is daily above the horizon much longer
than when he Is nearest. at the winter
solstice. and this continued action pro
duces the summer heat. In addition
TO this Is to be reckoned the fact that
In summer the force Of the suns rays
Is more perpendicular TO the earth's
surface. while in the winter they are
oblique. In the case Of the perpendic-
ular ray the heat stays. while in that
OF the obique ray 1t "glances off," so
