CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. g.
The West Virginia Legislature met
in special session this morning. 1t
now appears that there will be but lit
tie. If any, legislation effected during
the six days of the special session
called by the governor.
Senate Not Organized.
The Senate, which is a tie, adjourn
ed Immediately after the members
were sworn in. 1t is announced that
the Democratic policy is to prevent
an organization of the Senate until
the regular session begins. Clerk
John r. Harris called the Senate to
order and administered the oaths of
Office to the new senators.
1t is pointed out by the Democrats
that the senate cannot be legally or
ganized under existing conditions, as
there is no precedent by which a
president can be chosen. This point
is we'll taken, and the Republicans
find themselves at loss to know how
to act.

Pulling Question Will Confront

PROGRESSIVES WILL

The Day Will Be Happy One For
Some-Many Democrats viii Soon
Retire From office But All Have
Been Faithful In the Discharge of
Their Duties.

WASHINGTON, December 80.
What the new year has in store for
West Virginia is matter which is
puzzling the politicians as they have
seldom been puzzled before. Uusual-
II at the beginning of a new year con-
ditions are suciently seeded TO fore
cast with accuracy what may be ex-
pected during the next twelve months.
But, at this particular time thee sit
uation is peculiar and so many an
giles are presented that a question of
what will happen during the next year
becomes mere speculation.
The most interesting of the unset
tied questions as to the immediate
future is the one as to what is to
become of the Republican party in
West Virginia Il is true the Repub-
licans captured all the Offices in West
Virginia, which the Democrats failed
to secure but they did ii with the vo-
ties of the Progressives and not Re-
publicans. Notwithstanding the fact
that the election returns demonstrate
that the Progressives were about 22,
600 stronger in the state than the Re-
publicans the Progressiyes were in
duced by their leader to surrender all
claim to offices and to use their full
strength to assist in bringing about
the election of Republicans to office
Whether this condition is to prevail
during the coming year or whether
Tho DrnoracCiUno will Tira nf ganinU
the best Offices filled by members of
minority party while they them
selves get nothing is one OF the inter
esting questions which time alone will
answer and the solution OF which
may be expected during the year.
Theodore Roosevelt has repeated
ly insisted that the Progressive party
is separate and distinct from the Re
pblicaun party and that no fusion be
tween it and any other political or
leaders of the new party II the head
of the Progressive movement, the be
loved leader of the Progressives is
sincere in his declaration and II his
/ followers are sincere in their support
of him, the Progressives OF West Viz
ginia, having demonstrated that they
far outnumber the Republicans, must
/ refuse hereafter TO be regarded as
any part of the Republican party or
to support Republican candidates.
They can no longer be Progresives
and support Republicans for office.
Mr. Roosevelt has marked the line
too clearly to permit OF this. Wheth-
er they will continue to support the
reactionary heads OF the Republican
machine, as they have done for many
years past, or whether they will fol-
low the advice of Mr. Roosevelt and
build up their own party in the state
is another question which the coming
year should answer.

Traffic Rule Puzzles.

I" tic Editor Of he Star:
Permit me through Your valuable. pa
per 10 express my opinion on the
traffic laws now being enforced These
rules are, OF course, intended to safe
guard the public. but in my Judgment
there are some rules that will increase.
instead of diminishing them. Take. for
example. driver driving west on y
street facing the Thomas statue and
wanting 10 go around the corner into
Massachusetts avenue. by going east
there would be but one corner 10 turn.
hut tn, traffic rules say he must continue
10 tho right all around the circle lie
would have To cross six streets as We'll
IS four car tracks, thus increasing the
danger sin or eight fold. The same trou-
l.le occurs at Dupont Circle \ driver
coming east on Massachusetts avenue and
desiring 10 continue north through Con
n"cticut avenue would haV. TO continue
Ia the right and cross eight streets as
well as the car tracks. This can be du-
plicated at some of the other places
Again. no vehicle must be within fifteen
1oet OF a car when standing still. Let us
suppose wagon is delivering goods al
one or the stores on r street near 9th.
That would bring him within the fifteen
foot limit from the car track. Now
should like To know II the motorman of (:
street car can bring his ear there before
the wagon leaves? Or does he make the
driver violate the law when he brings his
ear 10 stop? WILLIAM KOCH.
The problem of the satisfactory adjust.
ment OF traffic around street circles is be.
lieved by the Coulmiss oners they say, Il
have been solved in the new traffic regu-
lations adopted for the District of Co
lumbia- II was pointed out by the Dis
trict heads today that a situation such as
that described by Mr. Koch could b,
avoids If a driver. instead of trying Il
reach Massachusetts avenue by COINS
went on y street to Thomas Circle. woul6
turn into Massachusetts avenue from 18th
street. thus avoiding Thomas Circle alto
Sether. The Commissioners also calico
attention to the fact that the regulations
do not prohibit vehicle from being with
in fifteen feet of il street car, but from
approaching within fifteen feet of a street
car that has stopped to discharge or TAX,
on passengers. Thus. ii is stated a sit
uation such a that described by Mr.
knch in the latter part of his commune
cation would not constitute q violation vi
the regulations.

BLOCKS ARLINGTON ROAD
Department of Agriculture OBJ
jects to Its Cutting Expert
mental Farm.

In order. TO make the Arlington national
cemetery more accessible to the residents
OF the National Capital, Congress at its
last previous session appropriated $4,000
Tor the construction of q public road from
the south end of the Highway bridge to
the county road running through the
center of the reservation from RoSslyn
to the Columbia turnpike. Gen. AleShire.
chief of the Quartermastcr Corps Of the
Army. has made the necessary surveys
and completed all the other preiiminaries
to that end but is estopped from maxim z
contract and starting building opera
tons because Of the opposition Of the
officers of the Agricultural Department
to the proposed line OF the road through
the government experimental farm. That
farm occupies all that section Of the
Arlington reservation lying east Of the
county road. and is i'm Il direct line be-
tween the Highway bridge and the Airing
ton cemetery
Owing to the f..ct that the country be-
tween the bridge and the Arlington Gene
terry includes considerable marsh land
and several high hills. as We'll as the Diff
iicultE of acquiring certain tracts of in
teiVennS private land. it was necessary
TO make several slight detouIs in the line
. of the road 1t was suggested that the
road run along the southern line of the
government experimental farm. but it
was found that such a course would cost
more in filling Swamps and grading hills
than was possible of accomplishment
within the limits of the appropriation.
Consequently the army engineers laid the
line of the road snort distance within
the limits OF the experimental farm That
was done principally to avoid a high hill
at the southern edge of the farm near the
brick yards and also to avoid a wide
swamp at the eastern edge of the farm.
The farm officials. supported by the
Secretary of Agriculture. objected to the
proposed line through their portion OF
the reservation. They We're willing that
the road should run along the southern
edge OF the farm, bat nowhere else. The
land desired for the road is not under
cultivation at present. but is included in
tentative plans.
Army officers. residents Of Alexandria
county and members of the Virginia con-
sressional delegation have sought to
have the farm authorities consent to the
building of the road through the farm
section in accordance with the approved
plans, but so far without success.
