ASKS PROTECTION
FOR STREET CAR MEN
Cramton Insists That All Here Be
in Enclosed Vesti-
buleS.

The Public Utilities Com mission has
been called upon by Representative
Louis c. Cramton of Michigan to en-
force the law in the District of Co
iumbia requiring protection for the
men operating street cars through in
closed vestihules
In letter today to the Public
Utilities Commission, Representative
sCramton says:
II. have noted personally within the
last few weeks that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company Is not
conforming to this law. have rid
den on several car which have open
sides In the vestibules at either end
of the car. 1t is my Information that
cars Of this kind are operated at all
hours Of the day and night and in
all kinds Of weather throughout the
motormen and conductors. In addi-
ton, 1t involves increased hazard
to passengers riding upon such cars
in times of storm and cold.
Il have previously had this UP
with the commission and had under
stood that a program was under way
which would do away with all cause
for complaint from this source. II j
am correct in my understanding that
the law forbids the present practice
your commission should see that the
law is enforced. If the present law
is not suffici ent, legisla ton should
be adopted that Will require proper
treatment for street railway en-
ployes and proper safeguarding OF
the safety Of passengers in the Dis
trict, as has been so uniformly done
in other cities throughout the
country.
II trust that. your commission will
take such action as will make il
unnecessary for any private citizen
to undertake to bring about Grim
inal proceeding against the COM
pany.'

Government to Take Hold if Carter
Quits.

LONDON, February 19.-The EEyp-
ttan government has made all prepa-
rations to take over the tomb of Tut
ankh-Amen and complete the research
work under the direction of it's own
staff OF trained archaeologists. which
is almost entirely British, If Howard
Carter should fail to bow to the de-
nand of the government regarding
the reopening of the tomb, according
TO Aziz Izzet Pasha. the newly ap-
pointed Egyptian minister 70 London.
Universal Indignation has been
aroused in Egypt over Mr.. Carriers
closing of the tomb on so trivial a
pretext as the non-admission of the
wives of the foreign excavators be-
tore even the newspaper men had
been admitted to see Tut-ankh-
.Amen's golden mummy case, the min
lister declared today.
Throughout the controversy with
Mr.. Garter. according to the minister;
tho Egyptian government has carried
out to the fullest detail the signed
agreement which permitted Mr.. Carter
TO admit whom he pleased as well as
Vesting him with the exclusive rights
to the photographs and descriptive
matter concerning the buried cham
Der and its contents. The minister
described Mr.. Carter's action in clos
ing the tomb as high handed and his
attitude toward the Egyptian govern
ment as discourteous, expressing the
view that it was the British experts
temperament which was the whole
cause of the tomb controversy
Under the new terms laid down to
Mr.. Carter, which the Egyptian gov
eminent will insist be carried out, the
press Of the world will be given free
access to the mortuary chamber, as
well as to the fullest reports and pho
tographs through the Egyptian press
bureau. Izzet expressed himself as
much concerned as to American opin-
ion regarding the action of his gov
eminent and as anxious to get the
Egyptian case clearly before the peo-
pie of the United States.

HAS PROPHETIC VISION

Many of my close advisors believed
we should break from the Republican
organization and try to build up
new reform party in the state. But
I do not believe it lies in the power
of any one man or group of men sue
cessfully to proclaim the creation OF
new political party, and give it life,
and being, and achievement, and per-
petuity.
New parties are brought forth from
time to time, and have been called to
leadership and command But the
leaders did not create the party. It
came out of the womb of time, and
no man could hinder or hasten the
event. No one can foretell the COM
ing of the hour. 1t may be near at
hand 1t may be otherwise But if
it should come quickly, we may be
sure strong leadership will be there;
and some will say that the leaders
made the party.
The party does not consist of few
leaders or of controlling political
machine. 1t consists of the hundreds
of thousands of citizens drawn to-
gether by common belief in certain
principles.
And it seemed to me then that it
ought to be in the power of that
great body, the overwhelming major
ity of the party, to smash the ma
chine, to defeat corrupt leaders and
to drive the officials of every rank
who betray the majority out of pub
lie life.-Extract from my Own
