HEADS OF CAR
LINES APPROVE
BEELER PLANS
Skip-Stop System May Be
in Effect in Short
Time.

Officials of both street car COM
panies last night declared that recon.
mendations submitted IN the second
section of the report on street car
congestion in the District by John A.
Beeler, consulting engineer to the
public utilities commission, met with
their approval. They assured the
commission Of their heartiest Coop
Grafton.
81 hope that the skip-stop system
recommended In the Beeler report
will be in operation within a month" )"
This was the comment of John HI.
Hanna, vice president of the Capital
Traction Company.
Mr.. Hanna said he had given the
report only a cursory examination.
but that It met with his full approval
and that he would make every effort
to put It into operation as soon as
possible.
VIII Stop Congestion.
President Clarence P. King. OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, also declared that the re-
port probably would be one of the
greatest aids in solving the traffic
problem in the District.
Il have been advocating the adop-
ton of such a plan for five years"
Mr.. King stated. '"The report has
been referred to the transportation
department of the company"
Approximately 40 per cent OF all
present street-car stops will be elimi-
mated II the plan is put into operation.
Excluding many of the suburban
lines of the W. r. & z. Co.. elimina-
ton of 353 of the present total of s4i
stops of that company is recon-
mended.
On lines running outside the city
proper. where there are at present an
indefinite number of stops, as on the
Cabin John. Bladensburg road, Co
lumbia and Washington and Mary
land Railway Company's line. a total
Of 1856 stops is recommended.
Two hundred and twenty-four stops
from the total of SIG of the Capital
Traction Company are eliminated In
the proposed plan.
BY these eliminations, It Is believed,
H. 900 tons OF coal per annum will be
saved through conserved power.
Would Conserve Fuel.
Mr.. Beeler states that the energy
wasted in making each stop in the
stop at every block" plan requires
the consumption Of about one-half
pound OF coal in the power-house. A
saving Of three stops per mile on each
OF the 100000 car-miles operated per
month in the District represents ap-
proximately a saving Of 1000 tons of
coal, or 12.0Oo per year"
Among present stops retained un-
der the proposed system have been
those at junction points and at
crossings OF street railway tracks
The numerous stops at the Union
Station present a problem different
from anything else in the city, and
that has been left for a separate re-
port.
Regarding the first report, which
advised double berthing of cars in
the traffic throat" of the Capital
Traction system In the vicinity OF
Fifteenth street, Vice President
Hanna said last night that Chevy
Chase cars would be stopped from
shunting at Fifteenth and New
York avenue within a week. They
will run to the loop at Twenty-sixth
street
The District government is secur-
ing material for the erection of
safety platforms for the double
berths of cars, and expects to have
this innovation made within two
weeks.

CHAVINGS FROM THE.
TRAIL " -

WashinstOn ministers figure there
are about 1000 protesting Chris
tians" among the new arrivals here
who haven't associated themselves
with any local churches. They are
anxious to get IN touch with these
church members from other parts
of the country and have them en-
rolled here. The ministers have
asked Billy Sunday to help out in
the plan. And Billy Is asking each
evening that these church members
come down front" at the taber-
nacle meetings and sit In the trail
hitters' benches so that the ush-
ers and secretaries may record
their names and addresses and
church relations for reference to
the ministers.
Billy Sunday will preach his ia
nous sermon on "Amusements"
next Friday night. The evangelist
will explain Just where church peo-
pie get of" in the matter of
amusements. He takes up the
movie" question. dancing, card
playing and the theater. Billy is
strong for good "movies" and de-
cent shows" but he gives no quar-
ter to dancing and card playing.
He absolves theater managers
most of them, at least-for the kind
of shows that are being put over"
these days. and blames the success
of the 'leg shows" entirely on the
theater-going public. He takes the
stand that if the public wouldn't
demand and patronize that kind of
show the manager wouldn't put it
over"

Listen! Ma Sunday, wife of the
strenuous evangelist, had to climb
in the window of her own home at
Winona Lake, Ind, when she went
home last week. She's just re-
turned to Washington after spend
ing the greater part of four days
getting to and from Chicago. When
she 'landed" home at l O'Clock in
the morning she found the house
locked, the servant gone, and son
Paul in Chicago. It's about 100
miles from Winona Lake to Chi
cago: and it was showing. So Ma
climbed through a window and
stayed in the house alone until next
day. Then she went to Chicago,
where 1t wasn't so lonesome. Mrs.
Sunday almost completed a sweater
on the trip TO and from Chicago.

enough punch behind those hits TO

BY ARTHUR JOYCE,

While Billy Sunday sidestepped last
night any reference to the Board of
Education's refusal to permit him
self and Rody to talk in the high
schools Of Washington, several thou
sand boy and girl students repre-
senting the institutions cheered lus-
tily when Rody fired a batch Of hot
shot into the board.
Central High School boys insisted
on shouting I'VE want Billy. we want
Billy" and the great crowd of ap-
proximately 10000 persons in the Tab
ernacle edged into Rody's speech sew
eral times with hearty cheers and
loud applause. Every time Rody
ripped the board for it's action there
was fresh outburst of hurrahs and
shouts.
1t was students Night" at the
Tabernacle and the reserved sections
of the big building were thronged
with students of the various boys
and girls high schools.
Rody Raps Board.
Rody referred to the boards action
as "a bigoted scheme OF a minority
that happens to be in control of the
board"
The Washington committee in
charge of the Sunday campaign does
not intend to let the boards action go
by unopposed. 1t is planning some
action to be taken in the matter in a
few days.
The Tabernacle crowd was disap-
pointed last night that Billy Sunday
didn't take up the subject. A large
percentage of 1t went purposely to
hear Billy swat the board members.
But the evangelist made no mention
OF the schools until at the close of his
sermon. when he invited the students
in the Tabernacle to come down ana
hit the trail" A few Of them walk
ed the aisles"
In his prayer Billy asked God to
send an angel from Heaven to whis-
per in the ears of the doctors attend
ing former President Roosevelt "the
remedy needed to make Teddy well

the battlements OF Heaven and kill

hold in every way the request of the

press shipments be started on their
way BY December s.

every CITY and town of the country by
the $4,000 express employees, to em-
phaslze the Importance of preventing
any possible congestion Of transnor-
taton facilities during these critical
times. Although the express facilities
are very elastic, so much of the equip
ment is now used for strictly war
purposes that all rift shinments for
long distance travel should be deliv-
cred to the express COMPANY not later
than December 5. and for short hanls
not later than December 10. This
will allow ample time for sorting and
delivering before Christmas day
