MORE CHEVY CHASE CARS
New Schedule Expected to Be
Placed in Operation Mon
day Morning.

The public utilities commission is ex-
pected to give its approval today to a
proposed new schedule for the Chevy
Chase lfffe of the Capital Traction
Company, which will give patrons OF
that line through service to both 18th
street and New York avenue and the
7th street wharves. In lieu of the pres
ent fifteen minute headway for cars
operated between 18th street and New
York avenue and Chevy Chase lake 1t
is proposed to establish a twelve
minute headway on the two new
through services and abolish the local
service between Chevy Chase lake and
the loop east of Calvert street bridge.
If approved by the commission the new
schedule will 60 into effect Monday
morning. During the rush hours of the
morning practically a six-minute sched-
ule will be maintained, while an eight
minute service will be provided for the
rush hours of the afternoon. 1t IS
planned to provide a special Sunday
schedule for the 7th street service. but
the schedule on the 18th street and New
York avenue line on Sunday will be the
same as the present fifteen-minute head
way The commission probably will give
it's approval to the arrangement by with
drawing all orders now in force regard
ing the Chevy Chase service.

AGE NO BAR TO WALKING.
Two Members of New York Judiciary
~ Conclude Long "Hikes."

NEW YORK, September 13.-Nothin!g
has ever been heard of the success of
the Old Mans Pedestrian Club, which
was formed in New York last spring
with the idea of reviving enthusiasm for
walking in this age of vehicles. but inde-
pendently of club auspices it is said that
pedestrianism is regaining it's place as a
sport in the environs of the metropolis.
Two unusual records are reported today
and must be believed since they are
boasted of by two local judges.
Surrogate Herbert T. Ketcham of
Brooklyn, sixty-tWo years old, has just
finished walking trip of 10 miles IN
six days. He and his son Philip tramped
from a camp near aHwley, Pa, where
they had spent their vacation, back to

Attacks on the methods of the caucus
and the secrecy with which the democrats
had framed the bill continue to come
not only from republicans and progress
sives, but from democrats as well.
Representative Neeley. democratic
member Of the committee which wrote
the bill, was one of the foremost critics

Pennsylvania. republican, was strong
in his adverse comment of the bill. He
said the proposed reform would be about
las useful to the country as a dollar
to a dead man"

The republican attack OH the method
by which the democrats prepared the bill
elected a reply by Representative Hard
wick of Georgia.
'Our people, north, east, south and
west" he said, 'are deplorably extrava-
CANT. This is one of the principal causes
Of the high cost of living today.
"Our people are mortgaging farms and
homes to buy automobiles. Our people
are trading and overtradins; their credit
is expanding and expanding. Under this
bill that expansion will go on and on;
we will have our paper discounted and
rediscounted and double discounted. We
will go ahead very we'll for four years
or five years, but finally the day of sober
reckoning must come The vast struc-
ture Of credit to be built up will not last
forever"
Mr. HardWick criticised the provision
of the bill making the federal reserve
notes obligations of the government"
He declared that in his opinion the bill
would establish q gigantic money trust. -
The democrats, he said, were going over
nopoly." Nevertheless, he said he would
vote for the bill because of loyalty to

Carpenter break forth into violent

he and Senator Foraker, with whom he
had been at variance on several ques-
tions, should have a friendly meeting.
Immediately after the arrangement Sc
we're charges were published in a news
paper against Foraker. 1 took the pa
per to Carpenter and showed him the
article.

After he had read the story twice, he
said tensely-

SAVED The Limited
Ralph Walters Also Won Girl He
Loved, and 0utWitted
a MiSer.
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

A little incident like the crossing
of two pins on a railroad track was
the starting point in a new destiny
for Ralph Walters. 1t was at a little
station where he had been waiting for
a train for Warburton. The through
train did not stop. He could hear it
coming now. The local was not due
for an hour. All alone on the bench
outside the depot, he caught sight of
the through" coming around the
curve. Then, CHANGING to glance the
other way, he sprang to his feet with
cry of horror.
A little urchin not over six years
old had been placing two pins cross
wise on the outer rail, to make ''scis-
sors." A sight of the coming train
startled the youngster. In his trepida-
ton he slipped over the rail and
rolled directly into the middle of the
road bed
He was too far away for Ralph to
reach him in time, and the latter saw
at a glance that the onrushing train
would be upon the lad before he could
get clear of the tracks. The young
man knew that on the turn of a mo-
ment hung precious human life.
His leisure waiting had given him.

the switches. There was one thing
to do, and that quickly. Ralph acted.
He sprang at a switch and pulled it
over to outer clear. The fast Limited
with a jerk and a toot swung over to
a siding, the little boy rolled. from
his bed of danger, and, half, fright
ened to death, ran from the spot,
screaming out his terror
There were explanations due the
switched train, Ralph well knew. Be
fore he could make them, however,
something happened that neither he
nor the crew of the Limited had ex-
pected. Around the east curve came
a locomotive with full head of steam
on; it flashed on its way, and Ralph
realized that somewhere there were
crossed orders.
The conductor of the Limited came
rushing up to Ralph, his face white
and excited. In a word he gathered
an explanation of the motive OF
Ralph in switching the train Then
he dashed into the station, to find
the operator away for dinner. He
rushed to the telephone instrument
