NEW STREET CAR LINE
IS PROPOSED BY BILL
Extension Would Cross CAL
vert Street Bridge and Go
Through Cleveland Park.

An extension of the street railway lines
Of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company through Cleveland Park and
thence out Massachusetts, avenue to the
District line is proposed in a bill which
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont intro
duced today. Its provisions are similar to
the bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Cannon few days ago.
The new line is to begin at the junction
of the tracks of the Capital Traction
Company and tie Washington Railway
and Electric Company at 18th street
northwest, thence along the existing
tracks of the Capital Traction Company
on Calvert street and across the Calvert
Street bridge to Connecticut avenue,
thence along Calvert street. as it will be
laid out in new highway plans, to Cleve-
land avenue, thence along Cleveland ave-
nue. to 34th street and on the latter to
Macomb street, thence along MacOmb
street to Massachusetts, avenue and out
Massachusetts, avenue to the District line.
Permits Overhead Wires.
Overhead wires are specifically allowed
for that part Of the extension from the
eastern end of the Calvert Street bridge
to the District line. In case the two
street railway companies can reach no
agreement regarding the joint use Of the
tracks the terms are to be fixed by the
District Supreme Court.
To provide for the railway extension
the bill would allow the Commissioners
to prepare a new highway plan for Cal
vert street, Rock Creek drive, 28th and
10Th streets between Connecticut and
Cleveland avenues
When the new highway plan has been
adopted, 1t Is further provided, the Com
missioners are to condemn the land
necessary for the extension Of Calvert
street and of Cleveland avenue between
Calvert street and 3ith street. of 34th
street between Cleveland avenue and
Woodley road and of Macomb street be-
tween Wisconsin and Massachusetts, ave-
nues. The cost OF the land purchased is
| to be assessed as benefits against nearby
property.

SAY N|AGARA'S BEAUTY
FACES Imminent PERIL
House Committee Told That
No More Water Should /.
Be Diverted.

]. Horace Mcfarland. president of the
American Civic Association, urged the
House committee on foreign affairs today
to refuse to permit the diversion of any
more water from Niagara Falls for power
purposes. He declared that the original
treaty with Canada fixing the status OF
Niagara Falls was inspired by a desire t
preserve its scenic beauty, and that ref
erendum vote in the United States would
show the people to be almost unanimous
in their desire to perpetuate the grandeur
of this wonder of the world.
A Million Visitors.
He said that million persons a year
visit Niagara Falls and spend $4,000, ,OOI
in so doing This, he declared, was a re-
turn on an investment of $5OO.OOO.OOO.
Attorney General Thomas Carmody OF
New York urged that the state of New
York be given exclusive control of the
waters of Niagara. He insisted that the
state should have the supervision of the
permits issued to power companies for
the diversion of water.
Asks Federal Aid.
Corporation Counsel Clarke Hammond
of Buffalo said the public service COM
mission of New York was powerless to
regulate the public utilities companies
now using the power from Niagara. HI
said he wanted federal aid to compel the
companies to live up to their contracts
with Buffalo city.
Edward Hageman Hall of New York
representing the American Scenic Pres
ervation Society, also advocated safe
guarding the beauty of Niagara.
The committee adjourned until Friday

The Revenue Cutter Service.


economy and efficiency commission that
the revenue cutter service be abolished,
at saving to the government OF $1,000
uO a year. has caused friends of the
service TO begin fight for it's life based
upon the presumption that President Taft
is committed to the plans Of the COM
mission. President Taft has stated that
he has in no way indorsed the recon-
mendations Of the commission as to the
revenue cutter service any other
branch of the government. He proposes
10 consider the recommendations when he
has time, and will then let 1t be known
what he favors or does not favor.
The impression has gone broadcast
through the revenue cutter service that
the President is back OF the recommenda-
tions of the commission, and the state
ment Of the President will be relief to
those who are agitated on the subject.
The President will not be able to take up
for some time thorough consideration Of
the recommendations OF the commission
with view to making his own ideas
known to Congress. Some of the recon-
mendations may be adopted by him.
while others may be rejected.
Judge George Donworth of the western
district of Washington state has with!
drawn his resignation from the federal
bench. so as TO give president Taft time
TO look over the many candidates who are
I'm the field. The withdrawal. however,
is understood to be temporary, and will be
presented again as soon as the President
is ready with suitable man for the posi-
ton. Senator Jones and Representative
Humphrey OF Washington called on the
President today to talk to him about the
matter. Mr.. Humphrey is an active can
didate for the judgeship. but Is strongly

Dr. Walter Price testified to answer

moved to Emergency Hospital and
