Biggest and Swiftest French Mer.
chairman Arrives in New York.

NEW YORK, April N.-The biggest and
swiftest French merchantmen on the
seas, the france, finished yesterday her
MAIDEN trip from Havre to this port, COW
ering the long southerly course Of 3,276
miles in six days. four hours and thirty
one minutes. at an average speed Of more
than twenty-five knots. She encountered
much fog or the banks and went dead
slow. She saw no ice, as she steamed
we'll below the ice region. She was
equipped for emergencies, having twenty
two lifeboats and q dozen liferafts Of the
catamaran type, with q capacity for 2, IA
persons. The total carrying capacity Of
the liner, including crew, h $500, and
Capt. Poncelot. commodore Of the line. and
all the new ships passengers felt pretty
confident in her. In clear weather over
the short, iceless course, she may be
speeded, and 1t is believed that she will
make better time than any other ship in
the transatlantic trade except the Maure-
tania and Lusitania- On her trial trip
over q measured course she made more
than twenty-five knots.
Among the passengers by. the France
were Daniel Bacon, former American am
bassador to France, who said he had orig
inally intended to sail by the lost Titanic
and by mere chance took the France.
The Count and Countess de PoLrtalles
and several man and woman physicians
who will attend the Red Cross convention
in Washington were also aboard.

COMMISSION IS PLEASED
WITH SIDE-ENTRANCE CAR
New Type Of Carrier Well Received
by Those Controlling
City Lines.

That the new side-entrance type of
street car. with the low step, which was
given "try-out" yesterday by the Of
ficials Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, is satisfactory in every
respect is the individual opinion Of men,
bers Of the interstate commerce commits
sion and Of the District electric railway
commission, who were guests Of the COM
pany on the trip.
While the subject Of the new car was
not brought up at the meeting Of the
District electric railway commission yes
terday afternoon, the members are en-
thusiastic regarding the car. They say
that 1t is safe and sane, and that the
women will not have many opportunities
to complain II It Is selected as the gen.
eral style Of car for local street railway
use. .
The car left 10Th and G streets early in
the afternoon and carried its pasSen-
gers to the car barn at 18th and East
Capitol streets, where q number Of wom-
en- were allowed to board 1t and demon
strate how easily it could be entered on
account Of the low step. There was
general appreciation.
Whether the company will order more
OF the cars for use the coming winter is
a matter that now Is occupying the at
tention Of the officials. II the new car
stands the test, meeting every require
ment. 1t is regarded as probable that
duplicates will be ordered Immediately.

TO IDENTIFY WOODY BODY.
Brother of Mail Clerk, Victim Of
Titanic Wreck, Goes to New York.

James M. Woody OF Roxboro, N. c.,
will go to New York to identify the body
Of his brother, Oscar w. Woody, mail
clerk. who was among the victims Of
the Titanic disaster, his brothers body
being one Of those recovered. The
brother. who was here week ago, re-
turned as soon as he learned that the body
of the mail clerk was among those re-
covered.
Mrs. Leila Billiard Woody, widow OF
the victim, is still at the home Of Mrs
Harry Warren, her aunt, % Q street
northwest. Mrs. Woody and her brother
in-law have reached no conclusion as t.
the burial place Should the mother OF
the dead man request that his body be
buried at Roxboro, 1t is stated, the widow
will consent to such an arrangement.
Should the widow decide to bury the
body here, the interment probably will
be in Glenwood. Arrangements for the
interment probably will not be completed
until there is a positive Identification OF
the body.

POLICEMAN LOSES FIGHT
Court UphoIds Commissioners
in Case of Joseph 1.
elliott.

Justice Gould yesterday upheld the
claim Of the Commissioners Of the
District Of Columbia that police Of
hcer may be dismissed If he violates
the rules prescribed by them in pre-
ferring charges against q superior
officer. The decision Of the court was
rendered in the case Of Private Joseph
L. elliott, who, through his attorney,
claimed he had the constitutional right
to file charges against his superior Of
ficers.
Justice Gould held that the court was
bound to accept the return Of the Com
missioners as true, and that IL, as con-
tended. it was not true an action for
false return would lie against them.
and since they claimed the charges
were filed not In good faith. but as q
matter of retaliation, it was SUFFICIENT
ground for sustaining their action OF
dismissal.
Attorney Matthew e. O'Brien. repre-
senting the policeman. gave notice OF
an appeal to the Court Of Appeals.
Bonds were fixed at $500 as super
sedeas and 500 for costs. which is ex-
pected to keep the officer doing police
duty until the matter is finally settled.
