R. & E. IS GIVEN
THREE ALTERNATIVES
Improvement of Anacostia Service
Ordered by Public Utilities
Commission.

The Washington Railway & Electric
Co.. will be given an opportunity to
select any one of three methods of
improving service on the Anacostia
line. when the rerouting of that lire
to Eleventh street goes into effect,
the Public Utilities Commission an
nOunced today.
The company may use regular two
man cars, may remodel the existing
type of one-man cars, by installing the
automatic rear exit doors, or may re-
place the existing one-man cars by
the new type brennan cars now in
use on the Wisconsin avenue limo.
The company will be asked to ad.
wise the commission within a definite
time which plan they desire to follow.
Work is progressing at the present
time on installation of the new switch
at Ninth and E streets, which is neces-
sary before the rerouting of the Ana
costa line to Eleventh street can be
put into effect. Under the rerouting
plan announced several months ago
the Brookland line, which now goes up
Eleventh street, will run to the
wharves by way of the Bureau Of En-.
craving and Printing.

president, added that he used to fish
in Tiber Creek. Mr.. Topham recalled
that the first railroad depot Washing
ton ever had was located at Second
street and Pennsylvania avenue and
was used by the Baltimore & Ohio
Terminal. Mr.. Duhamel remembered
that station, too. and explained that
the site was originally intended for the
United Safes Mint, and that George
Washington wrote letter to the Con
Sress. congratulating it upon the wise
selection of a site with such an album
dance of water.
This brought up the Tiber Creek
discussion again, and j. X. MahOney.
treasurer. opined that most Of that ter.
ritory surrounding Second street and
Pennsylvania avenue must have been
under water at some time or another"
because they used to think it\was a
big joke on Thomas Corcoran, the
father of w. w. Corcoran, when he
bought ground down there in the
swamp" Hhere the discussion was
ended.
Just before Mr.. Topham read his
paper, John Clagett Proctor, another
vice president of the association, pre-
sented to the organization a large
framed photograph of Capt. Isaac
Bassett, for years one of the door
keepers in the Senate chamber. The
presentation was made for Miss Alice
Lillian 'Bassett, granddaughter of
Capt. Bassett, who was present at last
nights meeting. In presenting the
picture for Miss Bassett. Mr.. Proctor
reviewed briefly the life of the man
who became famous as the official
who turned back the Senate chamber
clock when that body was trying to
complete it's business before the hour
for final adjournment was reached
Mr.. Proctor read paper which A. H.
Raglan had read at meeting of the
Association of Oldest Inhabitant
January !, 1896. just after Capt Bas-
sett's death, December IS, 1895.

 The good soap is drawn off into cooling frames where it solidifles into large slabs. These are cut by wires into small bars. In the manu' tacture of toilet soaps, the cold soap is pressed into cakes by machines.

Gas tile soap is made of olive oil and caustic soda. Linseed and cotton seed oils are important ingredients in the preparation of soft soaps. Floating soaps were first made in China.

So young is the organization that 1t has not yet been able to equip it's members with modern arms. Any party seen approaching vil- lage is suddenly surrounded by a band of men and boys armed with old spears, ancient swords and here and there an old fashioned fircarm. Modern equipment is gradually being acquired through capture and purchase of rifles and ammunition from bandits and sol diers.
 In one locality the Red Spears rebellod against tax assessment levellod by the governor of Shan tung and was pacified only after bloodshcd, but reports said the so- ciety probably could never be in- ducod to take sides in any military movement in the district as whole.
 Dressed oddly with ornaments credited with power to protect them from harm, the Red Spears present a weird appearance. They adopted red as their color not for any sympathy with the Russian rel movement but because that color struck their fancy. Carrying out the color scheme, they wear red cloth or paper hats, red sashes, and on their backs two red dia- mond-shapcd shields supposed to have protective qualities.
 On each side of his chest, the Red Spear wears red spool, hang ing from which are inscriptions be- lievcd 10 be sacred. Those who
