SHOWERED WITH KISSES.
Emigrants Grateful to New York
Station Agent, Restoring Money.

NEW YORK. March exp: essions of
gratitude in the form of kisses were
showered upon William II. Egan, station
master of the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton here, last night by the twenty-seven
men and women members of an emigrant
band, because he had been instrumental
in restoring to them a flour sack which
contained $4,000 in gold and bills.
The party, en- route from Montana to
Poland, dined in the station and then
started for the pier to board the steam
ship Olympic. In her haste the wife OF
the leader of the band, to whom her
fellow-travelers had intrusted their
money, left the bag in waiting room,
where it was found by an attendant and
turned over to Egan. Its contents had
hardly been counted when the emigrants
rushed back in great excitement, clamor-
ing for their money.
When they learned that every dollar OF
the $SS, 900 was intact they made rush
for Egan. He did not take kindly to
kissing at first, it is said, but yielded as
a matter of courtesy.

EAGER FOR MO0RE'S RETURN.
Columbia University Needs Services
of Noted Legal Authority.

NEW YORK, March 5.--The news Of
the resignation Of Prof. John Bassett
Moore from Che State Department at
Washington was received with eager in
terest at Columbia University. The
students and authorities have been
anxious for DR.. Moore's return, for his
absence from the law faculty Of the uni
versity has left a big gap. This has
been accentuated by the resignation of
DR.. Frank Goodnow to become president
of Johns Hopkins University. DR.. Good
now was professor in constitutional law
and it Is possible that DIR. Moore may
fill Dr. Goodnow's place as well as taking
care OF the courses in international. Jaw
1t is thought at Columbia that Dr.
Moore will return to the university in
September. 1t is expected that the work
that is still keeping him in Washington,
the codification of the records and ar
chives of the Carnegie Peace Foundation,
will be completed by that time.

NEW YORK, March "a serum made
from the poisonous jequirity beans. one
of which Samuel Dworkin. New York

his physicians in an effort to save the

Dworkin remains unconscious and the

ned that the whole system Of street rail
ways could be reproduced for a little
over $4,000, 600. whereas their total
capitalization and bonds amount to
$50 600, 900: that is to say. the two
principal companies.
II therefore feel sure that a municipal
street railway system in the city OF
Washington. operated as eficiently as
the waterworks department and other
District instrumentalities, could be OPP
Grated at a 2la-cent fare, with universal
transfers. Is this not a result to be

Situation in Capital.

My examination into the Washington
street railways has satisfied me that they
are no exception, but, in fact, a shining
example of the very thing of which l
speak. They are So full of water in
fact. that it oozes out all around. 1t is
one of the worst situations in the coun-
try. far as l know. Naturally the
street railway companies here believe
that private ownership is the proper
thing. and | have no doubt that if any
of YOU owned the railroads. YOU would,
tn say the least. be prejudiced in favor
OF that plan. Surely, however, no UNI
biased citizen with civic ideals can agree
with them.

Representative Believes Municipal

All Standpoints.

Claiming that the capitalization of

"oozinS with water" Representative
Robert Crosscr, chairman of the street
railways subcommittee of the House
District committee, advocated munich
pal ownership of the Washington sys-
TENS before the Study Club in Eco
nomics at the Public Library last night
Mr.. Crosser's subcommittee has been
holding hearings on the question for
some time, and is expected to make
its report within the next two weeks.
His address last night was taken by
his hearers to mean that If his recon-
mendations are followed the subcom-
mittee will report in favor of munich
pal ownership.
The question of transportation is an
Important one said Mr.. Crosser, and
therefore properly engages the atten-
ton of every person who endeavors 90
perform his duty as citizen as he
should. Upon the street car facilities
furnished municipality depends to a
very large degree the comfort of the
people. Any one who has studied the
question, even specifically, will see
that the matter of transportation is in
separately connected with the problem
Of congestion, slums and tenements.
Tests to Be Applied.
Il think there can be no doubt that the
operation of street railways is an entirely
proper function of a municipal govern
ment. Among others, there are two tests
which are usually applied to determine
whether or not the performing of any
service is properly a municipal function.
ffst. is II practical necessity of all
the people, or nearly all. Second, must
the lnstrumentallty furnishing the serv-
Ice in question possess u monopoly for
mat purpose. If both of these questions
are answered in the affirmative, then Ger
tdIniy the rendering of such service is a
municipal function, and such is the fact
in regard to street railways.
rs the private ownership and opera
ton of street railways the best thing for
tue people of a municipality? l insist that
II is not. In the first place, in order to be
satisfactory TO the people there must be
oniE one system, which, of course. leaves
out of question the possibility of compe-
ution, and the people must accept the
service offered BY that system or do
without, which is practical imposSi-
bllity. 1t Il person wishes to buy a suit
of clothes and the dealer demands an ex-
orbitant price for the same or offers him
an inferior article. the intending pur-
chaser can go to some other dealer. So

time in order to do business there
is a strong temptation to bring improper
influences to bear upon the granting
power in order to get these privileges
An investigation will show that in most
OF the big cities of the country bribery
has been resorted to to procure fran
chises, to avoid legislative Interference,
etc. If they succeed in their attempts
the quality of the service rendered is in
ferior and the price charged unfair. and,
in addition. the morality OF public off,
Gals and the community generally is
lowered because of these bargainings.
Now, let US see the difference when a
municipality operates its own street car
lines. There are no privileges to be
granted in the way of franchises. no ne
cessity of evading proper traffic reguia-
tons, because the same fundamentally
which makes the laws must carry them
into effect. There is. therefore, no pos
sibility of bribery or anything akin to it.
The only thing the people are required to
do then is to exact the highest class of
service from their public officials, and
even If, on account of temporary indif-
ference. they fail to do this. the injury is
temporary. and not permanent. as in the
case where franchise is sod by corrupt
officials or legislation enacted giving pri-
vate concerns unfair advantages for a
definite length of time.
Activity in Politics.
Some people tell us. however, that the
employees of a municipal plant become
viciously active in politics. There is not
as great temptation for their activity
when employed by a municipality as
when they are serving a private company
When the private company by which
street car men are employed Is seeking
legislation Of advantage to itself the uni
versal experience is that its employees
proceed to use all their influence to have
the legislation passed.
In Cleveland during the street car fight
when the old company was seeking a
franchise on Its own terms. every en-
pioye OF that company exerted himself
strenuously toward the accomplishment
of the company purpose. Not only do
these men become much more active in
beha or a private employer than they
do for a public employer, but the three
or four thousand stockholders of the
private company exert every influence
at their command for the accomplishment
of the desired result. With munic.pa
ownership every inhabitant is in the true
sense of the word a stockholder and no
group Of citizens have interests opposed
to those of all the peop.e.
There is every reason why the city
of Washington should De among the first
to adopt the municipal ownership of
street railways. If the argument that
if the street railway employees were work.
come viciously active in politics were
sound, which 1 do not concede. neverthe-
less, in the city of Washington that
could hardly be urged for the reason that
the people IN the District vote for no one
and can elect no one. Certainly the priv
ate companies here have given the people
every reason for wanting municipal own
ershp.

Denies It Is Socialism.

But it is objected by some that this
Is socialism. Let us see. Does the own
ersh.p of the waterworks constitute So
cialism? Does the paving of the streets
by the municipality constitute social
ism? Does the furnishing of electric light
and power by the municipalities of many
cities of the country constitute social
ism? If so, then any service the govern
lnent can render is socialistic to that ex-
tent Why not have police protection
rendered by private individuals! Why
not have fire protection by private con-
Germs? The fact is that there IS no es-
Sential difference between the supplying
OF one kind of service and that which we
are now proposing. The only difference
is that cities now operate waterworks,
electric light and power plants and fur
nish police and fire protection, and very
few yet furnish street railway service,
although this has come to be as great
necessity as the others. Properi 1t
Is indeed the only method that is abso-
lutely proper, and il is the only method
which absolutely insures justice to the
public in the use of the streets.
LAS soon as we undertake private own
ership and operation We are compelled to
grant the private concerns the special
privilege to the use of such streets This
is what is known as the franchise and
this is what throughout the entire coun-
the physical property used by the street
railway company. The people are then
required to pay sufficient fare to make
possible the payment of dividends on this
franchise value or what is sonnet times
called water.

STREET REMAINING
PLAN IS ENDORSED
Ordinance EmbOdying Plan
Will Probably Be
Adopted Tuesday

The street remaining scheme az worked
out by Engineer Walter G. Kirkpatrick,
with the cooperation of the Board of
Trade and other civic bodies. was yes
terday officially indorsed by the city COM
mission in conference.
City Attorney Boyd forthwith was In
structed to draw up an ordinance en-
bodyng the plan. This ordinance will
be acted upon as soon as it is ready
and no doubt will be adopted. IT may be
ready for action at the meeting Tues
day.
The scheme as indorsed by the commits
sioners in conference yesterday afternoon
is the same as has been published in
detail in The Age-Herald several times
in the past few months. Broadly speak
ing, it provides for no change of names
in Ensley and Wylam. no change of
Highland avenue and no change of the
streets in the business section of the
city proper. 1t does provide for an imag-
mary division line, running through the
city north and south at point about
old Elyton and another east and west
line located on First avenue, running
to the city limits.
All streets of the city south of this
east and west line and east of the north
and south line practically the present
South Highlands. Lakeyiew, Idlewild and
Glen Iris) will be designated south; all
on the north and east of these lines (prac-
tically Fountain Heights, North High
lands, North Birmingham and Norwood
will be designated north; all streets in
the southwest quarter cut by these lines
will be designated southwest and all in
the northwest quarters will be simply
west
The Ensley streets will keep their pres
ent names with the designation Ensley.
There are many other details to the
plan, but these are the main features
The remaining scheme also embodies a
plan for REMEMBERING all residences and
houses in the city. In the great majority
of cases, however, this will call for
no change.

FRAT MEN GETTING
READY FOR FIGHT
Preparing to Resist Effort
to Have Legislature Abol-
ish College Fraternities

Prominent college men are preparing to
movement by nonfraternity men having
for its object the abolition by the legis-
lature of Greek letter fraternities at the
University of Alabama and Auburn, state
institutions.
Already, one meeting has been held
second meeting is called for next Friday
evening in the Alabama Home building,
2o26 First avenue, at 8 o'clock. Among
those who are interested in the move
ment for the preservation of the fraterni-
ties against the nonfraternity forces are
Jelks Cabaniss, Hill Ferguson, Joe Mudd,
T. r. Cheape. Hugh Martin, William
Vaughan, Henry Morscheimer John
Morrow Robert Thach, Paul Jones, Lon
ME Noojin, William Spencer, George Ia
Watkins. Robert Mcclure. l.. b. Haley.
Jr.. Charles e. Rice Hugh w. Roberts,
q. r. Norman, w. V. NJ. Robinson Jr.'
O. G. Gresham, Crook Whatley, and
large number of others.
The nonfraternity men have inaugurated
a literary campaign, and have already
communicated with prospective members
of the legislature. The sum OF S2ooo Is on
deposit in a Birmingham bank by means
of which to prosecute their fight. The
fraternity men will write their brothers
in every hamlet of the state, and through
them will endeavor to elect members to
the legislature opposed to the abolition
of Greek letter fraternities. The fight
promises to be spectacular, and the Issue
to become an issue throughout the state
in legislative struggles.
