Relic Of Old Car Line Dug Up,
Recalls $40, 900 'sScre,u'' Fiasco

nue. more than three decades ago.
On November IL. 1889. the Judsen n
Pneumatic Street Railway Company
of New York asked permission to
construct single track of its pat
ented system, commencing at Bound
ary street and running to Rock Creek
Church road.
RevOlved by Air.
The pipe, a section of which has
just been uncovered, was laid several
feet under ground and inside of 1t
the huge brass screw revolved by
air propulsion from a power station
located where Corby's bakery now
stands. The street car had con-
Meeting rod which ran down through
a slot into the pipe.
When the operator wanted the car
to proceed he caused the connecting
rod to grip the screw and the car
proceeded on it's way. When the con-
necting-rod was disengaged from the
turning screw the car stopped.
The experiment cost the Bright
wood Railway Company more than
$170, 900. and ended In the abandon
ment of the system In 1892. Then
followed installation of the present
overhead trolley system and exten-
sion of the Georgia avenue line to
TAX Park. Officials of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
believe the finding of this relic of the
discarded screw system emphasizes
the rapid progress that has been
made In the past thirty years In de-
veloping the electric street railway

ANDERSON RAPED
BY |ND|CT|NG Jury
Anti-SaIoon League Head De-
nounced as Impertinent
for SIur on Body.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 27.-A sharp re-
buke was administered to William H
Anderson and the Anti-Saloon League
of New York, of which he is superin-
tendent, by the special grand jury
which last week returned three indict-
ments charging him with grand lar
ceny and forgery and yesterday after
noon handed down two additional in
dictments alleging extortion.
'tImpertinent," the jury termed
statements issued by Anderson and
the league after the first indictments
and a presentment urging Legislative
investigation of the dry organiZa-
tion. These statements said the pre-
sentiment reflected on the jurors in
tegrity."
Resents Politics Charge.
The jurors resented charges that
politics had played an important part
in their findings. and made it clear
that the recommendation for legis-
lative probe had originated with them
and not with Assistant District Attor-
ney Pecora. Foreman Arthur Will
liams added that not one of the
jurors was aware of the political
affiliations of the others.
The eXtortion indictments. which
had been forecast, charged Anderson
with having eXtorted $4,000 and
S1.315 at different times from o. Bert
sail Phillips, a former collector for
the league. In connection with the
two new indictments the jury handed
down a superceding indictment cor
rectinE from S13.200 to $4,000 the
sum that Anderson was alleged to
have obtained fraudulently from the
league.
mi ad nf
The dry crusader pleaded not guilty,
and his bail of $4,000 was continued
Politicians today were busy Specu-
be investigated by the legislature, as
recommended by the grand jury
They evinced considerable interest in
reports that republicans and demo-
Gratis would join in urging an
estiGation-reports which some
newspapers asserted were unfounded
The most ludicrous incident" said
Mr. Anderson in a signed statement
is the denial by the grand jury that
there is anything political involved
The request to the legiSla-
ture to investigate the Anti-Saloon
League shrieks of politics and turns
this denial into a confession. If the
grand jury, which had our books for
six months. knew of anything un-
lawful 1t was false to its oath in not
finding indictments. If the grand
jury passed up that presentment for
an investigation, knowing there is
nothing wrong, it was false to its
oath in another way and descended
into politics"

The organizers say they have no cam
