Declared Transfers Unnecessary.


DR.. A. E. Bryant said he had never
heard of any real demand by the citizens
of the city for universal transfers, and
declared that the way in which both
traction companies had laid out their
lines precluded the necessity of univer-
sal transfers. Dr. C.. W. A. Veditz
spoke along somewhat similar lines.
A. E. Dowell championed the need of
such transfers. however. and declared
that it affected the residents of the Sec
ton of the city in which members of the
association lived. Many of them had
children attending the Western High
School, he said, and would benefit great
ly by such condition il it could be
brought about When the matter was
brought to a vote the resolution passed
unanimously
DIR. Bryant offered resolution that it
was the sense of the association that
direct communication to the center of the
city be provided for the section north and
west of the Connecticut Avenue bridge,
meaning the Endorsement of project to
run street car line across this bridge. DIR.
Bryant said such line would save a
mile and half in distance, and a great
deal of time to residents of the section
this line would affect. After much dis
cussions the matter was referred to a
committee of five, which will be appoint
ed by Mr.. Selke.

UNIVERSAL TRANSFERS
ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY
Resolution Urging Cross-Line Rail-
way to Center of City Sent
to Committee.

David L. Selke, president of the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Association. at
its first meeting of the season, held in the
Army and Navy Preparatory School, on
Upton street, last night, offered a reso-
luton proposing that the two civil Com
missioners of the District of Columbia be
elected by the people here, and also that
q delegate in Congress, who should be a
member of the District committee of the
House, be elected by the people.
The resolution proposes no restriction of
the vote to men, specifically providing
that women shall have the voting privi-
lege. Mr.. Selke would, however, pro-
hibit all but owners of real estate from
the right of voting for the Districts Of
ficers. He explained his object in insert
ing this clause in the resolution. declar-
ing that when the people of Washington
formerly enjoyed the right. to vote they
suffered great deal from what he termed
the irresponsible element Mr.. Selke
said he desired to lay special stress on
this portion of the resolution, deeming it
of highest Importance. 1t was finally, aft
er much discussion, referred to the COM
mittee on legislation.
In view of the fact that the public
meeting October 20 in the District build
ing to hear expressions of opinion and
discussion on the subject of universal
transfers in Washington. this question
was taken up by the members of the Con-
necticut Avenue organization. Jesse p.
Crawford offered a resolution declaring
that it was the sense Of the association
ed in Washington by the utilities COM
mission.

HABITS DECLARED
BEST GUARDS TO SAFETY
Railroad Men Discuss Means
Of Reducing Injuries
and Death.

Safety rules were discussed at a
safety first rally held at the Union
st't ton last evening under the joint aus
pices of the railroads coming into that
terminal. The meeting was attended by
about 1000 railroad men,. Several ad-
dresses were made, followed by a stere-
opticon lecture showing many devices to
make safe numerous mechanical fool
killers
That habit more than anything else
contributed to safety was the assertion
of w. B. Smithers. conductor on the
Southern railway and a railroad en-
ploye fors forty five years.
Give the barrooms a wide berth, let
cigarettes alone and keep clear of all
other forms of dissipation, urged Mr..
sstmithers. "Oui, habits of life enter
largely into our, efficiency and especially
into this matter of safety
He urged his auditors to think about
safety and the other phases of their en-
ployment while they were doing their
daily tasks. but to quit railroading
when you leave work"
I'VE are here as our brothers keep
err" he said at another point. This is
paramount to every other question we
can discuss or execute"
