OPPOSES Buying
TRACTIONLINES
Minority Report Against Tax
ing District to Obtain
Federal Control.

That there is no demand for govern
ment operation of the street cars In
Washington and that 1t would be un-
fair to tax the people with a heavy
bonded debt is the substance of mi
nority report filed by Chairman John
son. of the House District Committee,
Yesterday against the Crosser bill for
Federal control of the Capital trolley
lines.
The minority report filed yesterday
supplements a similar document re-
corded in the Sixty-third Congress. 1t
is signed by Representatives Johnson,
Oakley, Ragsdsle, Darrow, Gould.
Focht. Wilson and Tinkham.
1t would involve a $50, 200, 900 bonded
debt to take over the existing lines,
according to the report, and it would
be unfair to impose this taxation bur-
den without a referendum vote in the
| District.
The report refers to a statement
made by Corporation Counsel Syme, in
which he said the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. although h
receiving its electric current at very
small price, had not earned a dividend
for the preceding seven years.
Now IL the Washington Railway
Company, q consolidation of eleven
separate companies. has not earned a
dividend during the last seven years,
although it bought all it's power at too
low a figure, and at a figure less than
the other street railway companies
were paying, then 1t seems conclusive
to us that 1t would be a bad PROPOSE
tion for the District of Columbia to tax
the people to take over company
which is losing money under the IA
vorable circumstances set off by the
proponents of this bill" the report con-
cludes.

echo FROM Easement
TRIAL HEARD in HOUSE
Representative Tague Asks Inquiry Into
Delay in Transmitting Appeal for
Clemency Until Too Late.

To find out just what caused the delay
in the cablegram of the Senate resolution
recommending clemency in the case Of
Sir Roger Easement is the purpose of g
resolution introduced in the House by
Representative Tague. OF Massachusetts,
yesterday.
For some reason the cablegram was moi
delivered into the hands OF the British
foreign Office until one hour after SiI
Roger had suffered on the gallows the
sentence OF the English court.
In the opinion of the Massachusetts
Representative the delay was unreason'
able, and the resolution also requests ar
investigation as to why a telegram from
the Irish Relief Fund Of the United
States. urging clemency for Easement
sent on July q. was not delivered to Eu-
gene Kelley. treasurer OF the fund, until
August in London.

contention and turmoil. not to say
combat. Wars. duels and debates were
his most congenial occupations. so it
is peculiarly fitting that he should
have left to his native state a legacy
of argument that promises to last for
ever.
The argument is: Resolved. that An

the inhabitants of North Carolina take

erect a monument on a certain spot
near the South Carolina boundary,
bearing a legend to the effect that An
drew Jackson was born right there.
This impertinence is deeply resented in
South Carolina. and there is said to be
a movement on foot to erect simila r
or larger monument in that state. thus
giving Jackson an embarrassing duality
of birthplaces.
Recognizing that the matter ought 10
be settled one way or another. some
enterprising statesman has introduced
a bill in the legislature of South Caro-
lima providing funds to conduct an in
vestigation to determine where An
drew Jackson was born. 1t seems rea
sonably certain. however. that this in
vestigation will locate the spot in
South Carolina, and that there will be
criticism of the finding in North Caro-

come.

BRAVE ACTS AND WORDS
OF FRENCH SET FORTH
Volume Depicts Good Cheer of
Troops and Voluntary Sac
rifce of Lives.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS, March S.-The first published
collection of heroic words and actions
of the war on the Franco-Belgian
front has appeared in a volume of 300
pages edited by Paul Souchon. There
are remarks of soldiers leaving for the
front. in battle and in the trenches.
anecdotes of generals and other officers,
the talk of the wounded and the words
of dying heroes.
Well toward the beginning is the re-
ply of soldier marching through Paris
to news vender who offered him the
latest extra. saying: Here. my brave
boy, is the latest news"
News" replied the soldier. ut is we
who are going to make the news"
Four young artillerymen of the con-
tingent of 1913 passed along the Ave-
nue. Trudaine in Paris on the way to
the station. A pretty woman on the
arm of her husband stopped on the
sidewalk and said: Poor boys. Good
luck to you" while tear rolled down
her cheek. One of the artillerymen sa :
luted. then took off his cap, twirled it
in the air and cried: Come, now, my
dear lady, just a little smile, please"
TWO sergeant majors chosen from a
trenches near the Vesle for an aban-
doned farm where, climbing to the gar
ret. they were able to discover the sit
uation of German batteries that were
causing considerable losses to the
French troops. The French three-inch-
ers soon forced the Germans to change
their position to the very spot where
these two sergeant-majo rs were in OBJ
servation. The French gunners ceased
firing until this message came over the
telephone: The guns are in position
Go ahead--you may fire. FIRE, aim at US,
commandment, go on, fire The COM
mandant hesitated to give the order,
but the German battery must be si-
fenced, and finally the three-inchers
struck up again destroying the battery
and annihilating the farm with the two
sergeant majors.
Souchon tells a similar story of a
lieutenant posted in a tower few
hundred meters from the German
trenches, from where he telephoned to
the French artillery the positions of
the enemy. During a half hour he con-
tinued sending indications and then
finished with the words: II hear the
steps of Germans who are coming up
the stairs. Believe nothing more that
is said to you over the wire. ! have my
revolver, and shall never be taken
alive" Nothing has ever been since
heard form this officer.

GERMANS LAST POST.
Only One German Garrison Remains
in Kamerun.
espondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence of the Associated Press
CAPETOWN, Union of South Africa,
February 20.-Only one isolated noun
tain outpost. consisting of company
OF native troops and four German Off
GERS, remains of the German army in
kamerun. This outpost is ut Mora. on
an almost inaccessible height which
forms one of the most northerIy spurs
of the Mandara range in the far north
OF the country. From its high fort
ressed position this German garrison
looks down on the plains. several thou
sand feet below, stretching northwa I'd
toward Lake Chad. For a wear and a
half the imprisoned garrison has been
blockaded by British and French forces
and cut off from the outer world.
of German power in kamerun. The
remainder of the German forces OF a
colony which has an area larger than
that of Germany, Denmark, Holland
and Belgium taken together. and Il
population of over $500. 900. have been
killed. captured by the allied forces or
driven into Spanish territory, whence
they are being collected by the Spanish
government for internment either in
Spain or in the Spanish Island of Fer
nando Pc.
The great colony thus wrested from
the Germans represents thirty years of
steady work and expenditure. 1t is
estimated that in the Victoria and Buca
districts alone more than $4,000, 900 has
been spent on the development of
cocoa. rubber and other tropical prod
ucts. The vast forests Of the south
ported to Germany mainly from Kribi.
The total external trade of the colony
in 1912 amounted to $12,000,O00. OF
which 80 per cent went to Germany.
