RAILWAY TRACKS over
new bridge OPPOSED
Georgetown Citizens Association L
Against Transfer of Capital
Traction Route.

After a spirited debate. the George
town Citizens Association last night
voted. by a small majority, to oppose
the laying of car tracks on the new
bridge over Rock Creek at Twenty
sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue.
The act of Congress providing for the
bridge also set forth that the George
town tracks of the Capital Traction
Company be transferred from NJ street
TO the new bridge.
The faction in favor of laying tracks
on the new bridge attempted to have
the motion of Frank V. Leatch re-
ferred to the Legislative committee.
The other faction, however. voted
down a motion to have it referred.
and then. carried the original motion
by few votes. The motion reads,
in part, as follows:
BE il resolved that IL is the sense
of the Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton that the new Pennsylvania ave-
nue. bridge over Rock Creek be kept
entirely free for the heavy vehicular
traffic between Georgetown ana
Washington. and that the District
Commissioners be urged to use their
endeavors to have repealed the law
providing for the use of this bridge
by street car tracks, and that, instead.
~ bridge on NJ street be strengthened
and repaired. the tracks of the COM
pany to be left on this bridge, and
that the company be compelled to pay
its proportion of the cost of the nee
essary repairs"

PULLMAN MAY INSTALL
SIGNS TO AID TRAFFIC

If on a dark, foggy day a figure
shrouded in white is seen at street
corners, do not become frightened.
Nor should you hravely disregard the
ghost chauffeur once tried II in
New York and it cost him $50.
While it is not a certainty the hg-

Mai. Pullman, superintendent of po-
lice, is considering an idea adopted in
other cities of having traffic police
men CARRIED in hoary oilskins to dis
tinguish them from the fog.
The innovation adopted is the in
stallation of standards for traffic guild
ance. The standard has two arms.
One tells the sutoist to Coco" at
which he is supposed to move for
ward. The sign is dipped from sight
and another warns him to ''StOp-Stop.''
The standard is manipulated by a
traffic policeman standing In the in

OPPOSES buying
OF SCHOOL SITE
Citizens Body Claims Gov
eminent Already Owns
Enough Ground.

A resolution protesting against the pur-
chase by the government Of a site for a
new Eastern High School as long as
ground well adapted for the purpose Is
already owned, and recommending that
steps be taken to have the appropriation
OF $4,000 for a new site rescinded and
an appropriation made to construct a
modern high school building on Reserva-
ton No. IL was adopted by the East
Washington Citizens Association at a
meeting at 314 Pennsylvania avenue
southeast last night.
W. NJ. Potter. chairman of the CON-
mittee on streets and avenues, in sub
hitting the resolution. said:
The East Washington Citizens Asso-
citation has repeatedly endeavored to
have this high school building located on
Reservation No. g. which contains
seventy-three acres of ground and will
have a large amount added when the
Anacostia River Is improved.
This reservation would make an ideal
site for an Eastern High School. being
centrally located In East Washington,
all future needs, without costing the gov
eminent a dollar. The buildings on the
reservation could be utilized in the con-
struction of the new building.
1T being contemplated to establish a
camp of military instruction for the
High School Cadets, there could be no
better place for the purpose. There
is ample ground to dr!Il a company.
squadron. battalion or regiment, and
with slight changes the Jail building
could be converted into an armory."
At the present time the buildings on
reservation. thirteen are the old jail, the
old workhouse. the Washington Asylum
Hospital. the contagious hospital and
the creamatory.

BY ARTHUR :. DODGE.

Two features in the International
trade of the United States. during the
past two years, serve TO emphasize the
serious detriment which the Underwood
tariff law is working 70 the industries
OF the United States, One is the tremen-
dous gain in, imports Of foreign goods
Immediately following the passage of the
low tarif law; the other Is the constantly
increasing volume OF goods pouring into
the markets of the United States from
the countries not at war. A gain of
Sl22, 100000 in imports Of foreign goods
from all countries in a period Of seven
months Immediately preceding the Euro
pean war, and q gain during the first
seven months of 1875 of $4,000 900 In i'm
ports from countries not at war. serve
to show the advantage which the low
tariff law gives to foreign producers.
Our "Great Trade Balance"
Secretary Redfeld, OF the Commerce
Department. has issued many fanciful
statements about our great balance of
trade" The Secretary and other apollo
gists for the UndeI wood tarif, have in
sisted that American industries have
been protected as by a high wall"
from foreign goods by the war in Europe.
They point to the general decrease in
ali imports while calling attention to tine
great gain in exports during the present
year compared with the decline in the
aggregate Importation Of foreign goods.
These defenders OF the Underwood tar
III take no note of the gre difference
between a protective WALL forced by
war, ard an adequately protective tar
in law. The wer protection" demoral-
ICES trade and industry in the war-devas-
tated countries and curtails purchases
OF American goods. except such as are
absolutely necessary, namely foodstuffs
and war materials.
That there is an insistent demand
for notifications in the Underwood
tariff. and a return to protection, IL
due to the damage that law is infiict-
ing upon American industries, indie
pendent of the war. Two years of ex-
periencs with the law. as one may
discover from a study Of trade sta
tistics. have proved disastrous. Why?
Because sales of foreign goods in
American markets have increased. ana.
except for augmented sales of food
stuffs and war materials. exports of
American goods to foreign markets
have decreased in volume. This is es-
pecially true of the countries not at
war. and these countries present the
conditions best suited for study, be-
cause in the warning countries too
many conditions are presented having
no real bearing upon trade in the nor
NAL times of peace.
