COMPLAIN OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Residents of South Henry Street OBJ
ject to Shifting Engines on
ri That Thcrou2hfare.

The recent action of the grand jury
in calling the attention of the
Southern Railway Company to the use
of Henry street, between Prince and
Duke, by that corporation for shift
ing engines led those suffering incon-
venience by the same 10 suppose that
it was about to be discontinued
People in the neighborhood, however,
are still complaining Of wheeling and
painting locomotives stanaing on that
square. Apart from the noise occa-
stoned by the procedure, considerable
annoyance is caused by smoke, T.
matter which way the wind may be
blowing.
People residing in a radius Of sew
eral squares are more or les ssuff-
erahs from the many locomotives
which are either left standing on the
streets or are shifted from one track
to another.
Virtually no rolling stock save To-
comotives appear on Henry street at
presents Since the construction of
tracks west of the city in 1904 pass
enger and freight trains have been
proceeding to or from Washington via
union station. Shortly after the
new railroad work was completed the
Henry street tracks were for time,
practically abandoned, but certain
residents of that thoroughfsre under
took to have the tracks remove !
which resulted in an injunction pro-
cee:iings in which the railway COM
pany was allowed TO maintain the
tracks through the city. AS stated
above light engines compose about all
the rolling stock seen on Henry
street at present.

the galleries late yesterday broke In
to repeated outburSts of applause and
actually shouted from their seats as
Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson, of Alabama, pleaded for 4
resolution. which would submit a con-
stitutional prohibition amendment to
the States.
The extraordinary demonstration \
continued unrestrained for many min
utes as Mr.. Hobson proceeded dra-
maticaly to discuss the prohibition
question. arG was not checked until
the speaker had drawn into contro-
vcrSy MS colleague. Representative
Oscar ". Underwood, who is now en-
gaaed with HIN in . race for the
Sel.ate.
The injection of personal politics
into the situation brought the major
ity leader to his feet with a reply to
Mr.. Hobson, and this precipitated ap-
plause from the members on the floor
Republican Leader Mann at this
point demanded that the rules of the
House be observed, and Representa-
tive Moon, of Tennessee, who was IN
the chair. atmonished the specta-
tors. Quiet was restored temporarily
after a voice from the gallery had
shouted:
"We're American citizens"
! Some 700 "white ribboners" packed
in the galleries, representing the
committee of 1000 which had mem
oralized Congress for the submission
of a constitutional amendment.
! For more than an hour the CALLER
les were permitted to thunder theil
approval or disapproval of proceed
ings on the floor of the House. They
applauded Representative Hobson';
bitter attack upon Mr.. Underwood.
They wildly cheered Hobson's decla'
ration that he had rather see the
Democratic party perish than live by
debauching the American people
through the liquor interests
