TO HEAR STRAPHANGERS
Traction Regulations to Be
Discussed by Utilities Com
mission August II.

The question of whether or not street
cars in the District of Columbia when
loaded to their full capacity shall stop to
take on board additional passengers. who
may hang to straps or jostle about in the
crowded car is to be discussed at hear
ing to be held by the public utilities COM
mission at 10 a. IN. August II.
The commission also will consider the
matter of permitting passengers to oc-
cupy the platforms Of closed cars and
the front seats and running boards of
open summer cars.
Both of these points are covered in the
regulations for the operation and equip
ment of street railway cars in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. the first being covered
by section 3, while section 10 deals with
the other.
Under the regulations as they exist at
present passengers are forbidden to stand
on the front platforms of motor cars and
are likewise forbidden to occupy the rear
platforms Of cars when there Is any
available space within the car where they
may stand.
Passengers are also forbidden to occupy
the full capacity of the front seats of
open cars, being required to leave ample
space for the motorman, who must be
left unhampered In his work and who
must be given plenty of elbow room.'
The running board question is also pro-
vided for, the regulation forbidding pas
sengers to ride on the running boards of
the summer cars having been strengthen
ed this week by the adoption of an
amendment to the section authorizing
conductors Of such cars to call on the po-
lice for aid in enforcing the regulation.

CONDEMNS BACK LOT GAMES.
Unsupervised Sport in City Spaces
a Bad Thing, Speaker Says.

CHICAGO, August Back lot games
are an incentive to bad citizenship in
stead Of being the wholesome exercise
some old-fashioned folks have thought
them, Sidney A. Teller, director of West
Park No. ., asserted in lecture yester-
day at the University of Chicago. He
said that unsupervised sport in city
spaces is worse than no play at all.
1.-THE first ideal we had concerning the
Fairgrounds was to get space. the second
was equipment. said Mr.. Teller. 'The
gang playing in back lot has not
enough space. no equipment and no direc-
ton. Such play is had thing The
young spirit has the wrong outlet in the
back lot. On the playground we have
changed the gang into a team and the
gang leader into the leader of the squad .

Corps. L. s. A., used the following de-
cisive language in describing the fire dan
ger of the present armories:
1T is not eXtravagant to say that a
combination of evil-disposed people could

novels that the armament is now stored
in, some of which are really inflammable

information thus disclosed for use in the
framing of the currency bill.

'Of all the places In the country. where

there should not be a parsimonious policy
regarding the defenses of the city. We
