RAILWAYS BILL
Corporation Counsel and Rep
resentative Winslow Fence
at Hearing.
cOLLOQUY ACRIMONIOUS
Other Witnesses Favor Passage OF the
Crosser Municipal Ownership
Measure.
COLLOQUY ACRIMONIOUS

Out of 900 orders issued to the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
by the public Utilities Commission. the
company has taken exception to only
two. This admission was brought out at
yesterdays hearing on the Crosser NUM-
cipal ownership bill before the House
District Committee. from Corporation
Counsel Conrad H. Syme, when he re-
sumed his testimony.
At times the colioquy between Mr.
Syme, other witnesses and Represent
atives winslow and Igoe became acri-
monious. This was particularly 50 when
Representative winslow questioned Mr..
Syme regarding the latter's holdings of
stock in the Washington Railway Com
pany. Representative Igoe, during the
testimony of A. B. johnson, reform
worker, told the witness the committee
did not want history Of his life. but
some facts bearing on the bill The
hearings will continue again this morn
ing.
Relatives Owned Stock.
Representative winslow sought to show
that Mr. Syme, lis wife and father had
been holders Of Washington Railway
and Electric stock prior to the time Mr..
Syme had become corporation counsel.
Then up to the time you became cor
tell your wife that you and she were
holding stock in a damnable enterprise
that was cheating the public:' asked
Congressman Winslow.
Il decline to answer that question. I
consider 1t insulting" Mr.. Syme replied
"All right. I will ask 1t in another
way" said Mr.. Winslow. You have
characterized the acts of the corporation
as bad, and yet you held onto your stock
until you took Officer"
II admit nothing. 1 bought the stock
and paid for it"
Mr.. Syme told the committee that one
of the things which influenced his mind
in favor Of municipal ownership were
the relations between the railway and
electric light companies.

Thomas E. Will resumed testimony
which he commenced last week He
Civic Federation of 1906. upon tramways
in Great Britain, arguing that munich
pal ownership had proved satisfactory in
that country. Mr.. VIII, however, was
unable to give the committee the con-
clusions and recommendations Of the
federation. Representative Winslow asked
the witness to point out some Of the
instances where municipal ownership
had failed in Great Britain, but the wit
ness limited himself to those cases which
he argued had been successful
James Hugh Keeley, who said he rep
resented 'the aggregate of paupers,'
was the concluding witness He said he
had reached a profound conviction"
that municipal ownership was a sound

SHOW YOU, Mr.. BRYAN!
Anhs Throw Gauntlet to Representa-
tive Who Resented Free
Love" Statement.

Representative J. W. Bryan. Of Wash
ingtop. a Progressive in politics. scorned
women, and stepped heavily on the toes
of the District of Columbia Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage in a debate
in the House last Wednesday. He has
pulled the prop from under an avalanche
of indignation and stirred up hornets
nest.
Representative Bryans criticism of the
antis was published in the Congressional
Record. His attack was as follows:
THE women who gave out state
ment here the other day, which was
published in papers all over the coun-
try, and referred to free love and sug-
gested that equal suffrage was compl-
Gated with the doctrine of free love. were
speaking from filthy minds. j wish the
authors of that low-down suggestion had
been men, SO 1 could go after them. 1t
was contemplate for them to give out
any such statement as that, and We who
represent States where women vote are
not going to stand for it. They
are not tending to free love. and any such
reference as that is abominable and
could only be the product Of perverted
minds"
A reply that is not sugared. but pep
pered, has been received by Representa-
tive Bryan. After a preamble, in which
his remarks are quoted from the Record,
the communication reads, in part:
Being fully convinced that You are
a fair-minded gentleman, we beg to
cali YOUR attention to the one undisput-
able fact that there always will be diff
ferences of opinion. You have per-
feet right to your views, and We rest
assured that you will grant US the same
privilege.
Now. as to the statement you are
credited with in the Congressional
Record.

HAD NO NEED OF THE BIBLE
Students Very Much in Error When
They Thought They Could EN-
barrass Henry Ward Beecher.

A good story is told about the late
Henry Ward Beecher, who was ac-
customed to find his inspiration
wherever he might open the Bible.
He was preaching once before the
Harvard students. One OF the stu
dents in a spirit OF deviltry removed
the Bible from the altar and substi-
tuted Webster's dictionary. The word
was passed around, and as the noted
divine assembled the pulpit the collie
gians leaned back to enjoy the fun.
Doctor Beecher adjusted his glasses
and opened the book

Then. as casually as IL nothing had
happened, he went on: Il am the rose
of Sharon and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns, so is my
love among the daughters. AS the

The students by this time had be-
gun to look sheepish. They never
again tried to play joke on Henry
Ward Beecher.
