OLD DOMINION LINE CARS
ARE STALLED FOR HOURS
Cold Passengers Relieved by Resi-
dents Along Line-Due to
Lack of Water.

Nirginians who use the Washington
and Old Dominion railway line to reach
this city from their homes had consider
able trouble in getting here yesterday
morning. From 4:30 O'Clock yesterday
morning until shortly after noon the
cars had been standing for time with
cars were at a standstin on the line.
One car at Balls Hill remained stalled
from 4:3o o'clock in the morning. After
the cars had been standing for a time
with no electricity to heat them, they
became quite cold and only the ready
assistance given by residents nearby
prevented the passengers from freezing.
In many instances hot food and coffee
was served.
The tie-up on the line is said to have
resulted because no water could be Sc
cured for the engines in the power
plant at Rosslyn.
Government clerks who reside along
the line were forced either to remain at
home yesterday or to walk to George
town to board cars TO the government
departments. Many of them arrived
hours late.
