Bills Of COURT
MAY YET BEPAID
BY SUPERVISORS

A special appropriation may be
made by the supervisors Tuesday
night TO pay the bills incurred by
the circuit courts during the first half
OF the year, according to Supervisor
Daniel Logan. chairman Of the finance
committee. w. T. Garden, deputy city
attorney, Thursday delivered an OPP
inion to James Bicknell, city auditor,
setting forth that the bills could not
be paid out Of the appropriation made
for court expenses during the second
half of the year, but he said this
morning that there is nothing to pre-
vent the supervisors from appropriat.
ing from the general fund money to
meet the bills.
THE board is not compelled to ap-
propriate, but it may" he said. He
called attention to the fact that in
spending money in excess of the ap.
preparation the court had violated Sec
ton So of the revised laws and the
judges were technically liable to pro-
secution

No bills were run by Judge Whit

Wife Goes to the Movies
and Strike Makes Her Trip
Last TWenty-Four Hours

The strike so far has not been without
amusing incidents. Notwithstanding its
serious aspect. Even the strikers, the
men who have Struck" and the strike
breakers have seen the funny SIDE of
things at times.
Shortly after O'Clock this morning the
first car came down Georgia avenue
from the Brghtwood barn. The motor
man who presided at the controller is
one of the oldest men on the Brightwood
line from point of age and service. He
often refers to the single track" days
of the Brightwood line. All the commut-
ers know him by the name of Pop"
Pop brought his car to a stop at a
street crossing, and, opening one CT the
windows, shouted to some boys nearby.
Say, son. go over TO my house and
wake up my boys. Keep ringing the
amt home and they're liable to over
sleep
Where's the madam. Pop?" asked one
of the passengers.
''Oh. she's down to see the movies The
married daughter came out home yes
terday afternoon and said her mother
must go downtown to see certain movie
show. Said it was something fine and
she shouldn't miss it.
well, it certainly must have been fine;
about the longest show l ever heard of,
for the madam amt come home yet.
Guess she's down at the daughters. She
amt much for walking"
Service on the Brightwood line stopped
last night long before the movies were
out,

eral conciliators attempting to bring
the railway companies and the striking
carmen to an agreement. was in con-
ference for a short time this morning
with Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Labor. Before he entered the
conference room. Mr.. Blackman said
he could not answer any inquiries, but
referred all questioners to Commission

he was planning to leave for New
Haven tonight. where tomorrow he is
scheduled to have conference with Of
fcials of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad and the me-
chanical forces of that road.
Following the conference he would
not talk, further than to say that he
was returning to the offices of the
Commissioners.
Secretary Wilson declined to see
this morning when they
sought to talk to him.

MOTHER JONES PLEDGES
SUPPORT TO STRIKERS
Hearty Sympathy With Street Car
Men Expressed at Topographic

Mother Jones, the most noted wom-
an labor agitator in the United States,
who gained national prominence in the
Cripple Creek, Col. riots. and by her
Imprisonment and subsequent Danish
ment from the state, was cheered when
she made her unannounced appearance
at the mass meeting in Typographical
Temple yesterday afternoon and pledg-
ed her hearty sympathy and support to
the striking street railway employees.
Representatives of four labor unions
with total membership of more than
5000 pledged the unqualified moral and

During the talk Mother Jones said:
Every time / come to Washington
ask you boys on the cars how much
you get an hour and how many hours
you work. And I must say that right
here in the nations capital there is no
more brutal system of industrial
slavery than the street carmen's con-

''oh. one will come along in . little
while. DEAR" John would reply.
Just then a passerby would speak
up:

It's four and half miles. dear

Not Bit Bad for Mary and Henry.
Mary and Henry found the walk
home from the movies" in 1.-The dark

walking up hill all the way from down
town, clear out 14th street for a mile
or so is a bit tiresome, especially the
last couple of blocks, but somehow
Mary and Henry didn't mind the walk
at all And they didn't mind the ,ck

Suburban residents caught in the city
after nightfal1 stayed, that's all. Spare
rooms in many Washington homes
were hastily put into commission last
night, and hotels did a land Office"
business.
Over at Union station weary travel
ers were made to feel more weary. Most
of them had plenty of time to admire
the station to their hearts content.
For even if they had plenty of money
in their pockets the taxi cab companies
didn't have near enough taXis in their
barns. so that was all there was to it.
And it is no joke walking from Union
station to 18th street and Columbia
road. say. with two suit cases.
Good humor, however. was the great
characteristic manifested by the city s
residents last night over the unusual
situation which, overnight, trans
formed them into pedestrians whether
they liked the role or not.
Good for the Health, He Says.
This street car strike is the greatest
single thing done for the health of the
people of Washington in many a long
day." declared one physician last night.

Police Make Provision
to Protect Passengers;
All Ordered on DUTY

AS the strike began yesterday morning
reporters for The Star were sent in taxi
cabs to the car barns of the companies,
to observe and report conditions These
reports were invariably to the effect that
no disorder marked the changed condi-
tons. Scenes and incidents around the
barns were spirited, as pickets Of the
strikers arrived. to persuade men who
had not been able to be at the early
morning meeting which declared the
strike. to refrain from going out with
their cars on the first morning runs.
Pickets of the Strikers,
At the start Of the day-runs from the
car barns at 14th and East Capitol
streets conditions were quiet and cars
were moving out during the early
hours in charge of older men in the
service of the company.
Pickets of the strikers were on duty
and were seen to be taking the num-
bers of the conductors and motormen

Many Of the strikers gathered in a

in good humor.

ALI Willing to Walk.

Nobody minded walking yesterday
afternoon. Henry and Mary thought it
quite a lark to have to walk a couple of
miles to go to the movies and Aunt
Maria didn't mind at all walking to
church when she got tired waiting for
q street car. Besides. she knew that if
she would only wait long enough a
street car would come along at last
Sure, They were running-yesterday
fternoon!
Everybody Northumberland liked
IL. too Regular "wanderlusters" found
their numbers augmented by thousands.
Involuntary initiates into the art of
walking, of course. but the big thing
was that they were actually walking.
And. take it from what was heard at
various Offices around town this morn
ing, they were walking last night, too,
Those who forgot about the strike and
went from their snug Preside in the
northeast to visit friends in the north
west got to their destinations, all right.
That is. if they started early enough.

by countless thousands. Everybody

to stand for minutes and minutes
and minutes to get street
