When lower branch Of the city coun-
ell adjourned after two-hour session
at a special meeting matters in relation
to the fate Of the franchise sought by
the washington-V Virginia Railway were
as much in the dark as before The
councilmen sat as a committee Of the
whole, heard the grievances Of prop
erty owners. and finally decided to call
another special meeting at s o'clock
next Tuesday evening. extending an in
vitation to the board Of aldermen to

The higher board several weeks ago
passed the franchise as drafted, grant
ing the railway the use of the streets
for ~ period of twenty years at an an
nual rental Of 1850, with the added Of
fer Of the company to pay for the paw
Ing of Royal street from Prince to
Wolfe streets. ...
The principal point OF objection on
the part Of property owners was the
maintenance of the freight station,
which is combined with the main ticket
Office at Prince and Royal streets. 1t
was branded as nuisance, disturbing
early morning slumbers with the rattle
Of milk cans
fNonS, muse property owners VINO
protested were Miss Hattie Hill, Charles
a. Cogan, w. Il. Balm, and William
desmond, the latter representing st.
Mary's Catholic Church.
Gardner L. Boothe, representing the
railway, said the freight station which
had been found so Objectionable, would
positively be removed before January
A.. D. Brockett spoke on the behaff
OF c. 8. Butts, OF the Alexandria Iron
Works to the effect that If the trac-
ton company were not allowed to haul
freight through the city to and from,
his place, the factory would have to
be closed down.
Leo p. Harlow, an attorney, asked
that some means be taken by the COM
pany to provide a faster schedule for
the commuters during rush hours.
Aside from the franchise matter
council appropriated the sum of $65, ,00t
| to be used In improving the armory OF
the Alexandria Light Infantry, and
paying financial encumbrances now

ONE.MAN RULE IN
THE CANAL ZONE
Col. Goethals Wins Victory
In Settlement of Panama
Government.

Col. George w. Goethals, chief engi-
neer In charge Of the construction OF
the Panama canal, won a victory i'm
the Senate yesterday afternoon. BY a
vote of 43 to II the Senate voted in
favor OF one-mah government for the
Canal Zone. This is the plan support
ed by the House ana recommended by
Colonel Goethals.
It gives the President control OF all
affairs at Panama with power to "com-
plete. govern, and operate" the canal
and the canal strip.
The action was opposed by some of
the Senators vigorously. They favored
the commission plan. In opposition to
the one-man plan, 1t is declared. Colonel
GoethaIs Is ambitious for power and
jealous OF any arrangement that will
not permit him to be the whole thing
The governor Of the Canal Zone un-
Ger the arrangement sanctioned by Sem
ate and House will get $4,000 year
and hold the commission four years.
The effect Of the message from the
President urging the need of immediate
legislation to provide for the organiza-
ton of an operative force was to spur
the Senate on to consideration of the
canal bill. The question Of form Of
government was settled.
The free tolls proposition was argued
yesterday, but not disposed of.

Washers PERSIST
WHEN GIRLS DRESS
TO DRAW CHANCES
District Clergymen Declare
Women Seem to Enjoy
Attentions.

Clergymen of the National Capital are
ready to re-enforce the statement of
Dean Sumner, Chicago, that troubles
being experienced with ''mashers" in
various parts Of the country are due in
part to the style of clothes which
women and girls are wearing.
Dean Summer says that men generally
persist in accosting women only as
'they receive the impression they are
being given some sort of encouragement
to do so.'
"One must agree very largely with
Dean Sumner" said the Rev. Earle
Wiley. pastor OF the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church today.
present feminine fashions with respect
to tight-fitting skirts are so immodest
that they make men wonder II the
| wearer is not purposely trying to attract
attention. Young women clad in more
decorous garb than the so-called tube
skirt rarely II ever are troubled ~
the 'masher.'
1.-THE custom of rouging, of penciling
the eyebrows. and carmining the lips
seems to accompany the wearing OF
such skirts" continued Mr.. Wiley" and
can be observed only too often In the
F street parade. 1t is greatly to be de-
/ plored that such underworld marks as
these are assumed by good women. In
some cases 1t Is true that women or
girls who are not OF actually evil life
| wear the tightest skirts or the most
rouge, and this with the intent of at
| tracing the greatest amount OF atten-
| ton and gazing by men,"
/ But Mr.. Wiley is not Of the opinion
| that condemnation of present fashioned
skirts win avail much In ending their
vogue.
Rather, women will cease to wear
them when they are no longer the fash
| ion and when garment makers have
no more money in these styles"

ELEGT.GhSS.

has already had many elections this year and still there are more to follow. There have been primary eIez- tions for every office on the cal ander of every governmental division. national. state, dis trict. county sand municipal. The general municipal elections have already been hold. and we have yet before us the general biennial election this fall an3 we are well in the midst of the na- tional campaign.
 There is however another elec- ton which must not be over- looked at which, in many re- spects, is of greater importance to the individual elector than any of the other elections. This is the annual school election, Sat urday May Is.
 AS the public school is the very basis, the foundation stone, of good governmet, so are the du- ties of those who vote at the school election of gravest impor- tance. The divisions are so small each neighborhood, almost being a separate unit, that each vote IS an important factor.
 1t is important that good citi- zens. who are intelligently in- terested in better public school conditions and who will devote their time aud energy to the cause. be elected directors. It is also i'm eortant that a sufficient school tax be voted and in most instances this means the full seven mills permitted by the constitution.
 Al citizens are urged to vote at the school cleo ion Saturday, May Is.
