SUBWAY NOT NEEDED,
COUNSEL SYME SAYS
After Study Of Traffic in Boston,
He Believes Construction Is
Not Practicable.

Not until the population has neared
the half-million mark Is it probable
that serious consideration will be given
to the construction of a subway in
Washington.
Corporation Counsel Syme today re-
turned from a visit to Boston. during
which he Investigated traffic conditions,
and the rules and regulations by which
they are governed. Inspection was
made of the subway system with view
of reporting to the Commissioners on
the construction of a subway here for
the relief OF congestion at New York
avenue and Fifteenth street
Mr.. Syme said today that, in his
opinion. the cost Of such project elimi-
mates its consideration for the present.
and that he believed the outlay would
not be justified until there is a large
increase In the population.
Encouragement Of the tracks in the
area bounded by I street. Thirteenth
street. PENNSYLVANIA avenue and Fif-
teenth street probably will be decided
upon as a means of relieving conges-
ton. Engineer Commissioner HARDING,
Capt j. L. Schley, executive officer,
and n. c. Eddy, engineer of the publit
Utilities Commission, are now working
on the plans, which. II Is understood
will be submitted to the commission

RED TAPE BLOCKS
ROBBERS CAPTURE
Officials Decide Park Fund Can
not Be Used to Hire OeteC-
tives in Case.

Efforts to capture two men who per
formed an Old-time stage coach
robbery in the Yellowstone National
Park were blocked by governmental
red tape today. when Acting Comp
troller Of the Treasury Warwick de
cided that Secretary of the Interior
Lane could not use park revenues to
employ a detective and follow up a
good clew.'
Secretary Lane wrote to the Comp
troller August "a. saying he had been
informed by Lieutenant Colonel Brett.
acting superintendent of the Yellow
stone Park, that on July 20 two men
held up and robbed a stage coach in
the park Thereafter. at his request,
Secretary Lane said. the Attorney
General had instructed the United
States marshal in Wyoming to offer a
reward of $500 each for the capture
of the men.
On the day Secretary Lane wrote
he had received a wire from Lieuten-
ant Colonel Brett requesting author
ity to eXpend 500 from park revenues
for the services of A detective to fol
low up good clew which has been
esta ablished.n
Acting Comptroller Warwick. in his
decision. made public today. held
there was no authority to use park
revenues to run down stage robbers.
Congress. it seems, had not antici-
pated the possibility of the return of
the bandits OF earlier days. and no
authorization in law could be found
for such expenditure.
