J. T. Moffett, superintendent of
Railway and Electric Company. said:
I'VE can take no census of the traf-
fic on the lines yet because the aver
age number of passengers at this time
of the year Is abnormal and would
give US 40 basis for making an ad-
justment. So far as I know. our COM
pany has done nothing"
Yesterday the inspectors on all the
lines were busy making reports, TAX
ing accurate count of the number OF
people riding during the busy hours.
According to Mr.. Moffett's statement,
this fact is not of move than ordinary
significance. because such checking is
always taken at this period of the
month.
The rule requiring seven square
feet Of floor space for each standing
passenger during rush hours and a
seat for every passenger during non
rush hours will go into effect Novem-
Der /. Rush hours are hxed between

POLE, Long A MENACE,
CAUSE OF AUTO CRASH
Dangerous Obstruction Had Been Re-
ported to Pullman by Captain.

An inquest into the cause Of the death
of William NJ Schaffer, killed on the
Bladensburg road Monday night, when
the automobile In which he was riding
with Arthur C. Smith and two women Of
this city struck telegraph pole near
Twenty-eighth street northeast, has been
ordered by Coroner ]. Ramsey hewitt and
VIII be held at the morgue at 2:3o o'clock
this afternoon.
DR.. hewitt denied last night that he
had ordered the inquest as a result Of
conflicting stories of the accident The
testimony OF witnesses. he said, appeared
easily credible. and his action in ordering
the inquest was in view of the fact that
the jury was already enrolled to hear
similar cases
Schaffer. who lived with his wife at sol
thirteenth street northwest, had been to
Bladensburg with Mr.. Smith, and the two
men were on the point of returning to the
city when the suggestion was made that
they bring home in their car Miss Ger
trude H. Fitzpatrick and Miss Marie Tay-
Tor. both of ll5 l street northwest, who
had been visiting the BAnvflle family in
Bladensburg.
An automobile occupied by, Jesse
Mann and Marion Baden had been be-
hind the Smith car for some distance
on the way to the city, and as they
neared Twenty-eighth street, Smith, 1t
is said, turned aside to allow the Mann
car to pass. At this point the trolley
poles switch over to the right hand
side of the car tracks, and Smith
struck the first of these, throwing
Shafter out on his head. The injured
man died from a fractured skull and a
broken neck while being brought into
Emergency Hospital
The dangerous character of the
Bladensburg road where the accident
occurred, 1t was learned last night,
has been the subject of at least three
reports within the last year to Major
Pullman by Capt. Schneider, of the
Ninth precinct, in whose precinct tfa
road lies after it crosses the District
line.
Maj. Pullman last night admitted
the department had received the re-
ports, but said he could not 60 into
the details of the recommendations
made without the reports before him.
He declared the recommends tions had
in his knowledge been referred to the
District highway engineer
The reports. according to Capt
Schneider. had called attention to the
danger Of the sudden switch of the
location of the telegraph poles at
Twenty eighth street from the left to
the right hand side OF the road. He
said that, not being an engineer, he
had made no recommendations as to
what would be a proper disposition of
the poles.
