AGREEMENT
REACHED ON BILL TO
OBTAIN TRANSFERS
Citizens Conference Execu-
tive Committee Arranges
Provisions.

A final agreement as to the provisions
OF the universal transfer bill which the
House District Committee will be
asked to enact was reached at a con-
ference of the executive committee of
the citizens conference on universal
transfers at which were present Harry
+. Lerch. of counsel for the receiver of
the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company, and Charles Selden, the new
owner of that oompanys road. The
meeting was held late yesterday after
noon at the Office of Charles w. Darr,
chairman of the conference.
Within the next few days Mr.. Lerch
will draft amendments to the Senate
transfer bill so as to include the pro-
visions which were agreed upon yes
terday. and to meet the objections to
the Senate bill which were noted by
Congressman Ben johnson, chairman
of the House District Committee at the
last hearing on universal transfers.
Mr.. Lerch has made a special study of
legislation providing for universal
transfers and told the committee that
with several amendments the Senate
bill would meet all requirements.
After a discussion of both bills now
amend the Senate bill and report It
with amendments to the House COM
mittee and ask immediate action.
Unless early action looking to the
enactment of a transfer measure is
taken, bill will be introduced providing
for an occupation tax upon the street
railway lines of the District, the COM
mittee was informed by p. ]. Ryan, at
torney for Central Labor Union and q
member Of the committee. Mr.. Ryan
announced emphatically that the labor
ing people of the District were getting
weary of the delay in getting universal
transfers, and that they would back
up bill to place an additional tax up
on the railways unless the transfer
privilege was granted.
p. v. Keating, chairman OF the rail-
Avenue Suburban Citizens Association,
and a member of the executive com.
mittee of the conference, also was pres
ent. 1t IN expected that the amended
bill will be ready to report to the CON-
nittee on Monday.
Mr.. Keating reported the receipt of a
letter from Commissioner Cuno H.
Rudolph in which the latter said that
he had noticed the Citizens Conference

Mr.. Hemingway. ALSO that every sa-

About Names,

In the days when people and names
were fewer than now, families received
names that really meant something.
They were Bakers and Brewers and
Taylors and Chambers and Wheel
wrights and the like; or else their
names described their appearance, or
the places in which they lived, or tho
hopes to which they were bred. The
old and Well'known firm of l. Catchem
and U. Cheatem might come under this
head. Nobody knows just when the
Christian name was added as a moro
distinctive feature, or why the James
and Marias should belong to England,
the Minis and Felicites to France, the
Gretchens and Hedwigs to Germany,
the Bridgets and Noras to Ireland and
the Carlottas and Eulalias to Spain
and Italy.

CHEERING IN The COMMONS
Various Kinds Of Applause That Are
to be Heard In the British
Lower House.

The giving of applause in the Brit.
1sh house of commons has attained
the dignity of science. A cheer from
a single member is not infrequent, but
has little significance unless it comes
from an important parsonage. 1t is
the British demonstration.
The tone Of the cheering varies ac
cording to the temper Of those who
cheer. First, there is the hearty, full
voiced cheer Of genuine approval, re-
sounding, awakening the echoes and
full of encouragement. ..
Next comes the low, subdued cheer,
gradually spreading along all the
benches, indicating the deep-seated
agreement that does not seek vocifer-
Gus or hilarious expression. This is
employed either on solemn occasions
or in moments of pathos or In &C
acknowledgement Of some confession on
the part Of an opponent. "
1ronical cheering is often heard in
the commons. The tone of sarcasm is
always unmistakable. Often it is the
greeting accorded to an argument or
. statement by an opponent, for the
formal denying Of which there may
not be an opportunity. It is hostile
but frequently good natured enough.
As an intensifcation of this there
is the sarcastic cheer, far sharper and
more incisive. Mingled with laugh
ter. it is. from the British standpoint,
