I'VE have something to sell and We are

TRANSFERS ACCEPTED;
HERDICS WIN FIGHT
Street Railway Companies Yield to
Order of Public Utilities
Commission.

Both the CAPITAL Traction Company and
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company reached the decision yesterday
afternoon to comply with the act of Con-
gress which requires them to exchange
transfers with the Metropolitan Coach
Company at the intersections, Fifteenth
and II Streets. and Fifteenth and Penn
sylvania Avenue.
BY o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
exchange Of transfers between the rail-
way companies and the coach company
was in full swing
With the receipt of the order from the
utilities commission, the railway COM
panies acknowledged defeat, and. though
maintaining the unconstitutionality OF the
law. Informed S. Dana Lincoln. president
of the Metropolitan Coach Company. that
hereafter. until the courts adjudge the
law unconstitutional, passengers holding
herdic transfers can ride at will over their
lines.
The railway companies were stout in
their refusal to recognize the existence
of the herdic company in the territory
of Fifteenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue. Mr.. Lincoln brought complaint
against the companies for their noncom-
pliance with the law before the Public
Utilities Commission in behalf of the peo-
pie who use his herdic line. The rail-
way companies have kept up some show
of obstinacy, but struck their colors yes
terday, leaving the utilities body with its
first important victory.

HERE'S POLICE MYSTERY
OF CHEESE AND BEER
Boat Owner Hurriedly Sends for De.
tective to Run Down Theft
on NAV II.

The bright particular stars of the
Washington detective force were gliding
darkly around yesterday, noses on the
alert and eyes strained. The senses OF
smell and sight were overtaxed in some
cases where policemen were overanxious
to solve one of the most difficult cases
presented to the police here in recent
years.
Lieut.. Hartley. in charge of the De-
tective Bureau at night, answered his
telephone at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing He was requested by an evidently
excited man to send his best detective
at once to tie Postoffice Department. De-
tective Messer was awakened from a
dream in which he was collaring the
person who stole the plans from the
Navy Department. Messer hurriedly
dressed, and almost ran to the postoffice.
He met there Robert johnson, colored, of
s232 Cleveland Avenue Northwest.
This is a most important case, SIR
said johnson. "On the night of May 2
there were stolen from my boat, anchored
at a wharf near Twenty-sixth and G
Streets Northwest, six bottles of beer
and 10 cents worth of cheese 1 will
offer the cheese as a reward for the ap-
prehension of the culprit."
Stirred on by the promise Of reward,
Messer managed to control his hands.
His facial expression was volcanic, but
he reported the case at headquarters.
Yesterday he was assigned to the case.
Messer has concluded to depend on his
sense of smell to find the cheese.

Money in Speculation.

New York, June 5.-Mystery surrounds
the death of DR.. Stephen o. Storck. a
dentist, with one of the largest practices
in the city, who leaped or fell from an
eight-story window in the Coronet, a
fashionable apartment house at 81 West
F1fty-eighth Street. early today and was
crushed to death in the court yard be-
low.
The tragedy occurred shortly after
o'clock, just after the dentist had arisen
from a game of bridge in which his
wife and some friends had Joined him.
The police after an investigation pro-
nounced the case one of suicide, though
friends of the family declared that the
dentists plunge to death must have been
an accident, as no reason could be as
signed for his taking his life. There
was a rumor that the dentist had lost
money in Wall Street, but this is with
out verification.

HITCHCOCK STRIKES
AT TOBACCO TRUST
Nebraska Senator, After Interview with
Attorney General, Introduces
Drastic Amendment.

Attorney General McReynoldS yeSter-
day suggested to the Senate Finance
Committee his plan for levying grad
uated internal revenue tax upon the
manufactures OF tobacco. President Will
son made it plain that he is not yet COM
mitted to this plan, but the Attorney
General undoubtedly had his approval
in suggesting the matter to the Senate
committee for discussion.
Among the members of the Upper
House of Congress with whom the At
torney General talked was Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska. Soon after this con-
ference between McReynolds and Hitch
cock. the latter introduced in the SEN
ate a bill carrying this scheme of grad
uated taxation. Mr.. Hitchcock issued a
statement in which he announced that
the measure introduced by him carried
out in a general way the suggestion of
the Attorney General Beyond the fact.
however, that Mr.. McReynolds conferred
with Mr.. Hitchcock, there is nothing to
indicate that the details Of the Hitch
cock bill are in exact accordance with
the Attorney Generals views
Attorney General McReynolds discussed
his plan with Chairman Simmons, OF the
Senate Finance Committee. and Mr.. Sim
mons will lay it before the full commit
tee. Some members of the committee
sought information from President Will
son himself as to what he desired should
be done on this subject. Mr.. Wilson re-
Piled that he had not considered the
matter, and had no views to express at
this time.
Senator Hitchcock said that amend
ment would mot only raise additional
revenue from the overgrown tobacco
concerns, but IT would so handicap them
as TO permit successful competition from
companies now rapidly being crushed
out by the monopoly. Roughly speaking.
this additional or progressive excise tax
would not reach a manufacturer until
he controlled about % per cent of the
total production OF a class of tobacco"
If the huge tobacco concerns were to
continue their present production under
this tax. the American Tobacco Com
pany would suffer an additional annual
tax of $4,000, and Liggett and Myers,

PRESENT TALES OF HOFFMAN,
Aborn opern Company Gives Good
Performance of Piece.

the Tales Of Hoffman," have delighted
music lovers for many years. An opera
comiaue OF the highest type of bril-
liancy and piquant interest, 1t loses
nothing in its rendering by the Aborn
company. The story is simply a re-
count of the love affairs OF the musician
Hoffman,. his repeated disappointments.
and his final return to the muse alone
as a source of inspiration and comfort.
Salvatore Sciaretti upheld the title role
with his strong tenor voice last night.
He is a singer OF wonderful power. but
from a histrionic standpoint 1t must be
confessed that his love-making is some
what lacking in the passion and feeling
necessary to make IL appear real.
Louis Daniel is a barytone of quality
and range. He carried out the idea of
DR.. Miracle to the letter. appearing to
decided advantage as an actor. His
every gesture every attitude. was one of
terrible menace, cunning, and malice
His soul seemed imbued with the part
he was rendering
Mabel Siemon carried all before her in
the Doll Song in which her sweet
soprano rose triumphant above the ap-
parent mechanical trick in the rendering.
Her characterization of the doll was al
most perfect.
The famous "BarcaroIle" made the
same old appeal as sung by Jayne Her
bert, who assumed the role of Nick
lausse, friend to Hoffman,. Her person
ality is sweet and wholesome, and these
qualities appear in her voice.
Taken as a whole the performance was
well up to the high standard hitherto
set by the Aborn Company. The Or
chestra, though inclined at times to
drown out the singers voices. redeemed
itself in the finale and received well de-
served applause.
Tonight George Simondet will appear as
Hoffman,, while Louis d'AngeIo will
take the part of DIR. Miracle and the
Sorcerer. The remaining parts will be
as last night.

VALUABLE PROPERTY Is SOLD.
Part of Old Edmonston Estate
Bought by City Investors.

Business will obtain a stronger foot
hold In what was years ago a select
residential section. II is believed, as a
result OF the sale OF part Of the old
Edmonston estate. in New York Avenue
Northwest. between Ninth and Tenth
Streets.
Joseph Herzog, of Talbot. Cissel & Co.,
real estate dealers, has sold the property,
which is at 92s New York Avenue. to a
syndicate of Washington investors. The
property will be held as an investment,
and, according to real estate men, ex-
tensivs improvements will be made.
About so a square foot was obtained
for the property. 1t is said. The lot con-
tains $500 square feet, and has 'front.'
age of IS feet.
Within the past few years the block
in New York Avenue between Ninth and
Tenth Streets has undergone such a
change that now il is known as a busi-
ness rather ethan a residence street.
Stores and Office buildings have multi
piled so rapidly that at present only the
extreme western end OF the block Is
even comparatively free from business
activity.
