RATES CALLED EXCESSIVE.
Testimony Given in Regard to Wash
ington and Virginia Railway.

Additional testimony on the complaint
filed with the interstate commerce COM
mission against the Washington-Virginia
Railway Company, claiming that the pas
senger rates Of the road are excessive
and unreasonable, will be heard Tues
day morning by Examiner Pugh. The
hearing began yesterday morning.
The morning session Of the hearing was
occupied by witnesses who use the road
from day to day. Tariffs of the Compel
ing steam railways were compared with
those Of the Washington Virginia. With
but one exception they were found to be
identical. Complaint was made by sew
eral of the commuters against the train
service. It was declared that the run
ming time is slow and that express service
Is badly needed between Washington and
Alexandria.
In the afternoon s. W. Macfarren, a
New York traction expert, testified that
he had examined the roadbed, bridges.
rails and cars of the road. These prop
critics were compared with those of other
railroads entering Washington. Mr.. Mac
farren declared that the roadbed of the
defendant railway was not what it should
be.

SEALS SALE
Committee Hopes That Pro-
ceeds Will Equal Last
Years.

Red Cross Christmas seals are still on
sale today at many of the drug stores
and other places Of business throughout
the city. Yesterday was a big day for
the sale, and it is hoped that the returns
from today and from the coming week
will bring the number sold up to the
mark Of last year, 100000.
All the proceeds from the sale iof the
seals go to the day camp maintained
for tubercular patents by the local Red
Cross Society. The camp is located at
14th and Upshur streets, and for the
last three years it has done excellent
work In winning back to health the poor
children Of the District who had con-
tracted tuberculosis.
For seven months of the year the camp
is open and the youngsters troop there
from all parts Of the city, daily, to drink
in the fresh air and to eat the good sub
stantial food provided for them. As the
name indicates, the camp Is open to the
children only in the daytime, and they
must sleep at home. But last season two
of the little patients stayed at the camp
both night and day, so sick were they,
and were benefited by the treatment
given them.

tending that the three-line indictment

tail OF the allegation, Frank NJ. McDer-
mitt, counsel for the prisoner. applied to

particulars, and when refused this he
asked that the indictment be quashed.
and this was also denied.
Attorney NIcDermitt complained to JUS
tice Kalisch that he had been unable to
obtain from Prosecutor Mott any further
details of the states side of the case than
was contained in the indictment, and de-
manded more information upon which to
base the defense. Prosecutor Mott re-
piled that the state had no report Of
an autopsy or chemical analysis, but re-
fused any further information, and Jus
tice Kalisch declared that he knew of no
rule that compelled the state to show its
hand.
