TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
CONSIDERED BY BOARD
Trade Directors wiz Oppose Autono-
bile Rules on Ground that They
will Delay Delivery.

Radical changes in the present tranic
regulations were discussed yesterday al
an executive meeting of the board OF
directors OF the Board OF Trade, held In
the Board of Trade rooms. lie Roy Mark
chairman of the special committee, ap-
pointed several months ago by President
Droop, submitted a tentative set Of regu-
lations which soon will be considered al
an open meeting of the entire member
ship of the Board OF Trade.
II has been an open secret that the
merchants as we'll as the pleasure mo-
florists are bitterly opposed to the new
regulations which went into effect last
February. The section of the present reg
ulations providing that all motor pro-
PEELED vehicles come to a full stop within
fifteen feet of a standing street car is the
principal objection of the merchants.
1t is alleged that this provision hinders
the quick delivery of merchandise and
that II congests traffic on many Of the
down streets to such an extent that ten
OF fifteen minutes are lost before side
street can be reached where traffic is
scarce. II also is contended that the pro-
vision increases the wear and tear on
the motors as they are required to run
so much with the vehicles at stand
stiT
President Droop and the other officers
Of the Board OF Trade refused yesterday
to discuss the proposed changes in the
traffic regulations They admitted. how
ever. that several radical changes were
to be proposed by them. The District
Commissioners will be requested TO grant
a hearing on the proposed regulations.

The only record Of the claim of Mrs.
Magnolia " A. Harris, clerk In the
Pension once. who lives at 2os D Street
Northeast. against the estate of the late
Gen. Henry NJ. Baker. former Repre-
sentative in Congress from New Hamp-
shire, amounting to $4,000, which ap-
pears in the District Supreme Court is a
notation in the claims docket Of the pro-
bate branch. Although the bulk of the
estate Of the late Gen. Baker is located
in Washington, the suit of Mrs. Harris
has been filed against the executors of
the estate in the courts Of Concord. N. H.
The notation shows that Mrs. Harris
claimed there is due her $4,000 for
breach of contract to make a will and for
services rendered the late Gen. Baker.
The notice of claim was received and re-
turned to Mr.. Blair, representing Mrs.
Harris, with the advice that such claims
are not approved by the court. The same
proceeding was taken with the claim as II
II had been a bill for other services rem
dered to Gen. Baker during his life.
The notation Is made on the record, and
the payment or refusal OF the claim rs
left to the discretion of the executors.
Mrs. Harris claims In her petition that
early in February, 1872. Gen. Baker en-
ployed her as secretary, amanuensis, and
companion. A friendship sprang up be-
tween them. and later Gen. Baker, ac-
cordinS to the petition, promised verbally
and ty letter 10 marry her. He further
promised to make a new will providing
for her, and agreed TO make an ante
nuptial agreement. None Of the promises
were fulfilled, the petitioner alleges, Gen.
Bakers sudden death, May 80. 1872, pre-
venting their consummation. In view of
the fact. as alleged, that had Gen
Baker lived to fulfill his promise she
would have been entitled to at least one
third of his estate. valued at about
$500 900. the suit for $4,000 has been filed
in the New Hampshire courts. Mrs Har-
ris is a member Of All Souls Unitarian
Church. of which Gen. Baker was also

is alleged. that the two became ac-
quainted.
Mrs Harris is said to be thirty-nine
years, while Gen. Baker was about
seventy-two years old at the time of his
death.
