CHIEFS
DENY CONDUCTORS
HERE ARE IMPOL|TE
They Resent Statement of
Lecturer That Women
Are Treated Rudely.

Washington's street car conductors
are polite to passengers, say officials
of the Capital Traction and Washington
Railway and Electric Companies, who
deny a contrary statement attributed
to Miss Janet T.. Richards, lecturer and
leader I'm the low car step movement.
Miss Richards, in an address to her
Current Topics Class at Rauscher's 8, cited
in proof OF her thesis that conductors
here do not help women passengers on
and off cars. To this company officials
say that conductors are not expected to
10 so here or anywhere. II conductors
do not do this helping act, it is not fair
TO accuse them of discourtesy, there
fore, say the companies.
The pay-as-you-enter car makes Il
necessary for the conductor to be at
his post inside the car collecting fares
when car Is stopped at a street cor
ner," said w. +. Dement,, assistant su-
perintendent of transportation of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany this morning.
"A conductor cannot disregard this
farS collecting. particularly when there
is a crowd getting on. Remember, too,
that with these cars passengers are get
ting off at the same time others are
entering, and even IL II were ordered
II would be a manifest impossbility for
conductors to help women on and off at
the same time.
Reports of disCourtesy by conductors
to passengers are reported only infre-
uuently."

REPORT COMING ON
POLLUTION Of THE
RIVER OYSTER BEDS
Samples Taken From Water
Are Brought Here for
Examination.

An official report on the extent OF
the pollution of the oysters of the
Potomac river beds, and possibly on
the source and nature of this pollution
will be made by the Bureau of Chem
istry OF the Department of Agriculture
the latter part of this week.
DIR. Stiles, in charge of the investiga-
tion OF the Potomac oyster supply, is
at work on the samples brought to
Washington by m investigating COM
mission which he headed. The analysis
or these samples Is nearing completion,
and the results will be announced i'm
mediately. Though no official state
ment will be made, 1t Is the opinion Of
the pure food experts that the oysters
or some of the beds are contaminated
ny sewage disposed In the river by the
communities along its banks.
DR.. M. B. Groshon, health officer Of
Colonial Beach. made emphatic declara-
ton that the river was not polluted by
the community in which he has charge
OF health measures. He said that as
Colonial Beach does not pipe it's sewage
into the river and has no sewerage
system, pollution from that community
is impossible.
1t GEMS be a settled fact that the
pollution of some of the beds at least
Will be ascribed to sewage dumped into
the river.

fair and warmer tonight, and tomor-
row will be fair, according to the

rising since Sunday. This morning the

CHEAPENS COST OF PRODUCE
Scientist Says Ammonia, Extensively
Used In FertiIizlnu, Can Be Made
From Air and Water.

New York.-An announcement of
special interest to farmers In that 1t
may cheaper the cost OF fertilizers,
was made here by Prof. Hofrat Bernth-
sen, an eminent German scientist, lee
turing before the Eighth International
Chemical congress. He explained that
Y system has been discovered in Ger
many for the synthetic or artificial
manufacture OF ammonia by the unit
ing Of nitrogen and hydrogen. The
ammonia Is prepared, he said, by
passing the gases through 4 tube con-
tanning a substance for promoting re-
action, at a temperature Of about nine
hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and I'M
der a pressure of $50 atmospheres.
AS ammonia is extensively used in
the manufacture Of Ice and In the
preparation Of fertilizers, notably am
monium sulphate, Doctor Bernthsen
predicted that It's synthetic prepare
ton was an important step forward in
scientific achievement inasmuch as its
components, nitro and hydrogen, may
be obtained from water and air re-
spectively at a negligible cost.
The worlds consumption Of am
monia for 1911 was estimated in value
at eighty million dollars.

PRAYERS FOR THE E0SOeMS
Christians Asked to join ln otSsrC.
Ing Martyrs Hund-,dth
Anniversary.

New York.-Leaders OF miss,oB
movements in England and AmerbSs
are asking the Christian people Of
both countries to observe Oct. Is next
as a day of prayer for the conversion
of Islam. The date Is the one hun
dredth anniversary OF the death Of
Henry Martyr, a pioneer In attempts
to convert followers of Moslem. The
appeal to America comes from both
established church and nonconformist
In England, and is Endorsed by lead
ers of all religious bodies in this
country. Private prayer, family pray
err and the holding of public meetings
for general prayer are asked.
The appeal points out the decadent
character of political states holding to
the teachings of Mahomet, and states
that Henry Martyrs work, regarded
as hopeless in his day, has by no
means gone for nought. Persia, Egypt
and Turkey have changed. There is
a stirring ace for leadership in che
Soudan. between Christianity and
Islamism, and a Christian propaganda
that has been carried on for twenty
years in Arabia is being removed to
Cairo, the central city of Islam.
1t is declared hat some CONVEX
sions have been made, and that Mo-
hammedans are far less bitter against
those of their number who change
than formerly. Hospitals and medical
dispensaries are being employed as
powerful missionary arguments.
