TRACTION LINE ASKS
TO REDUCE SERVICE
Has Doubled Capacity Of Cars.
Asserts Fewer Are Needed
to Give Satisfaction.

Having placed in operation 100 open
cars, seating between 10 and IS passeng-
ers, the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company has asked permission of
the Public Utilities Commission to run
cars at less frequent intervals on the
Georgetown, Mt. Pleasant and Columbia
lines. The ordinary closed cars seat be-
tween % and 36 passengers. The con-
tention of the company is, that with
cars of nearly double this capacity 1t
will not be necessary to operate under
the present headway.
Another argument Is that the COM
pany will be able to improve the serv-
ice on other lines by adding additional
cars. The commission has directed its
inspectors to make note Of traffic con-
citions.
The commission had practically COM
pleted the revision Of the regulations

SPECIAL POLICEMAN
| STROLLS IN PARKS
Does Not Heed High Officials,
But Pays Attention to Two
"Fat" Pedestrians.

An alert looking policeman. "a spe-
cial officer, marched majestically
through Farragut Square a little before
3 a. m. today. When he had reached
one end of the square he turned about
and marched as majestically back. This
he kept up until about 10 o'clock. when
he marched majestically in the direc-
tion of Lafayette Square.
This special policeman made his ap-
pearance a little before the hour when
the admiral of the navy. George Dewey.
walks, according to his daily habit
through the square. Soon after the
admiral had walked briskly through
rison pass.
A little later Senator Bourne was es-
pied by the vigilant policeman. Sena-
tor Perkins and other dlgnitaries from
stoneleigh Court. too, proceeded through
the square.
But the officer did not seem concern
ed with any of these. He confided to
a caretaker at the square that he was
more interested in fat men,"
Presently the officer, gazing in the
direction Of x street became rigid with
interest and attention. A tall man,
stout of build. though not really fat.
was walking through the square from
a K street residence. A second later
another man, not so tall but also stout,
went through diagonally from the
northwest.
II the two men saw each other. and If
they knew each other, they did not
speak as their paths intersected. When
they had passed, the policeman walked
down toward Lafayette square, which
is part of his beat. Up to the last day
or two he has spent most of his time on
Lafayette square. But now he seems to
take a greater interest in the more
northerly little park

a great convenience and it can be
easily arranged. An electric battery
and few lengths of insulated wire
to connect a bell or buzzer are all
that is necessary.
Connect one wire to the hammer
and one to the gong on the striking
clock. Then set up your bell or buzz
zer where you want the strike to be
repeated and connect the wires with
the battery. The hammer falling on
the gong will close the circuit and
the extra bell will ring every time the
hammer falls.
A single stroke bell is best, but
