suggested an interchange of views is

Ine issue Is simply this.
Shall the railway company be per.
mitted to absorb the power company
and thereby be allowed to increase
car lossess
That's all there is to 1t, and all
that will be determined
Now. before discussing this, I
want to devote a few lines to the
exceptions taken in the committee
yesterday to certain statements
have made heretofore in these
columns. y
First, let's review what / wrote
to cause this denunciation.
l stated that Congressman Woods
of Virginia had been counsel for
the traction company of Roanoke.
He admitted as much in the COM
mittee meeting yesterday.
/ stated that Chairman Focht. of
the House District Committee, and
Clarence p. King, formerly president
Of the Washington Railway and Elec.
trio Company, were boyhood friends.
My authority for the statement
was Chairman Focht himself, who.
several years ago. after a hearing
was conversing with Mr.. King, when
i approached and said:
you two seem to be pretty good
friends
Chairman Focht replied: "Oh, yes;
we're old boyhood chums."
also stated that Congressman
Wheeler of Illinois was Interested
in street railways in his home COM
munity.
Quotes WheeIer's Remark.
My authority was Congressman
Wheeler himself, who recently said
TO me, after committee hearing:
"I'm not nearly so much opposed
10 public ownership. rs I used to he A..
I'm interested In public utilities and
they haven't been paying anything
lately, so I wouldn't feel very bad
II the Government took them off my
hands"
1 also stated that neither I nor
any one else questioned the motives
or sincerity of any of these three
members. l merely called attention
to the facts as stated and pointed
out the doubtful propriety OF having
street railway legislation for Wash
ington directed by men whose per-
sonal beliefs might be influenced by
their previous personal experiences.

Exonerated Of two charges growing
out of an alteration with a colored
hostler on May is last, Lieut. Col.
James E. Shelley. u. s. A, considered
one of the best horsemen in the Ameri-
can army, today is being congratu-
lated by his scores of Washington
friends.
It took but twenty-five minutes
for the general court-martial trying
Colonel Shelley to decide that the army
officer was guiltless. The court
martial was one of the speediest rec
orded in the history of the army.
The story of Colonel Shelley. given
on the witness stand yesterday, is
thought to be mainly responsible for
the acquittaL Reciting in a straight
forward and unhesitating manner the
Incidents which led up to the shoot
ing of Richard Christmas, a colored
hostler. Colonel Shelley proved an ex-
cellent witness for himself.
Colonel Shelley told the court that
on May Is he had an argument with
Christmas over a horse. During the
agument the coloner said he struck
the colored hostler. The hostler in
turn, the witness said, made open
threats to get" the colonel. Colonel
Shelley reported the hostler on that
day.
1t was because he feared the colored
hostler would carry out his threat
that Colonel Shelle, armed himself
with a .25-ca1iber revolver when he
visited the stables the next day.
Christmas, the colonel said, was
standing in the doorway when he
reached the stables. The colonel said
he made fruitless efforts TO avoid a
discussion. During the discussion. Col
onel Shelley said, the colored hostler
attacked him. Colonel Shelley said
he then shot Christmas.
To prove that he did not premedi.
tate the shooting, Colonel Shelly said
that he brought with him a revolver
of only .25-caliber, asserting that II
he had meant to attack a man he
would have carried with him his sery-
ice pistol of .45-caliber.
Colonel Shelley had little difficulty
In convincing members of the court
martial that he was guiltless of the
charges filed against him. Secret bal
lots were cast, and the colonel was ac.
quilted In less than half an hours
time.
Col. James F. Easily Smith, of the
Officers Reserve Corps. represented
Colonel Shelley. He finished his case
by putting Colonel Shelley on the
stand
Eight witnesses were called yester-
day, but the greater part of the day
was taken UP I'm hearing Colonel Shei.
