Tracked Cars Must
Yield to Buses

To the Editor of The Star:
For two years, at least we have been
reading Yoluminous writings and print
ings about our two local car lines. One
week 1t was in reference to the merger
Of the lines. The following week it
was in reference to valuation of the
lines. Again the succeeding week it
was in reference to better service.
More recently the question of free
the way, half fare should have been
advocated). Now We have the increase
in fares, which may be plausible enough,
although notice some would like to
have 5 cents worth of added service
for that 2-cent increase. I travel in
this city nearly always by street cars
and do not begrudge the increase. Al
most invariably I buy four tokens for
80 cents, and can any one save 25
per cent any easier?
In this city, as in other cities, num-
bers OF citizens are progressive and
some are not. Therefore, let the pro-
gressive ones look to the future in re-
gard to our two car lines. I predict
now that five years or so from now we
Will not see one street car in service
within the city limits. 1t has to come
and We may as well start now. The car
companies should see the light them
selves now and motorize the traffic on
balloon tires, beginning at once the
replacement of equipment by buses on
streets where repairs are most needed
to underground roadbed. and saving
$l25,00O per mile to use for new bus
equipment. Each year eliminate the
cars on certain route and replace bv
bus. 1t is very plain, is it not? Within
five years all bus service and the ideal
traffic system. In case of any big fires
or other emergencies detours could be
obtained, whereby it is impossible with
the street car system.

started enc knockers, who kept I'D a
fire o, fidicule until the one-tine master
of the racquet quit the play and for
feited.
With all his extraordinary skill as a
player, which for season after season
kept him in the front rank of the game.
Tildsn has not been universal favorite
with the public. His peculiarities of
temperament, his sometimes overbear-
ing attitude toward the public and his
opponents, have subjected him to criti-
cism and have won for him much dis
favor, even though his superiority as a
wielder Of the racquet has been acknovl-
edged Nevertheless, his treatment by
the crowd at Rye was deplorably I'M
sportsmanliks.
AS q matter of fact, Americans who
attend public exhibitions of hletic
skill are not very good sports. They
are partisan and partial, they are venge-
full and they are intensely personal in
their reactions toward the players of
the games they witness. They are not
even consistently loyal in their partisan
ship, as is evidenced at base ball games,
where they will jeer the unfortunate
maker IF an error as quickly as they
will cheer The batter of -produc-
tive hit. They want their home team
to win and yet at the first slip they
boo the players into a state of anger
and nerves that makes for failure. The
hero Of today is the villain of tomorrow
to the average base ball attendant.
In the amateur sports the same spirit
prevails to great degree on the part
of the gallery" It is the worst of
bocrishness, to say the least, to ridicule
a tennis player as in the case at Rye
in the course of his match. Those who
believe he is taking injuries should
leave the field. To protest by jeering
and kissing and cat-calling, as at Rye.
is breach of good manners, and good
should prevail among the
spectators as we'll as on the part of
the players.

Hidden Trusts.

The term hidden trust" used to
connote the existence of lien against
real estate, knowledge of which is with
held from the purchaser at the time of
sale of the real estate, is apt to lead to
some misunderstanding regarding the
actual ability of anybody to conceal
such lien. AS matter of fact. lien
cannot be concealed. for it must be re-
corded. If it is not recorded, it ceases
to be a recognized lien when property
changes hands.
The danger of finding ones property
Numbered by lien, the existence of
which is unknown. is avoided by paying
a title company TO search the records
a procedure almost taken for granted
by any one contemplating the purchase
of property. The whole purpose of a
search Of title is to find out whether
there are any hidden trusts" so
called, OF which the purchaser is I'M
aware. ere are such trusts, search
of title exposes them and the purchaser
naturally mas the privilege of recogniz-
ing them and going through with the
deal or of calling of the transaction.
While title companies in the District
do not as a rule insure the purchaser
against fraud, such as forgery, in the
instrument itself, as is commonly done
in New York. they do guarantee the
purchaser that their statement concern
ing title to real estate is true and cor
rect as far as the records go. If their
search Of title has been faulty and after
the transaction the presence of duly
recorded lien is made known, the title
company is responsible for the amount
of indebtedness which it did not make
known.
The cost OF having a title searched
in the District is a nat fee of $50 for
the first $1,000 and 81 for each addi-
tional $1,000 involved. For a $4,000
property the cost is $35. 1t is cost
which the purchaser of real estate
should insist upon paying. 1t is a
necessary form of insurance.
Any one contemplating the purchase
of real estate should Immediately ques-
ton the motives of salesman who adj
vises against search of the title as use
less expense. The cost is small Indeed
compared to the difhcuities that may
follow failure to take an obviously SEN
sfble precaution.

The Hall of Doubtful Fame.

An Illustration just printed in The
Star shows Statuary Hall in the Capitol
rugged with scaffolding for decorators
who are about TO give the chamber its
occasional cleaning and painting. All
the efhgies Of famous Americans,
'favorite SON" Of the States, are cased
in boxes to protect them from dishgure-
ment or damage. This picture prompts
the thought that as a matter of AIT
with very few exceptions the statues
might well be left permanently in
their wooden shrouds and kept forever
from the plbiic view. But there is an
other consideration than that of art
affecting this extraordinary group of
bronze and marble figures which
complexities the matter. They constitute
an historic gallery and they represent
the States. They have become an insti-
luton. of interest to visitors and possibly
stimuiative of patriotic pride
Under an act of Congress approved
in July, 1864, the old hall Of the House
of Representatives in the Capitol was
designated as a place to which each
State might send two statues, represent
ing citizens of the commonwealth or
characters identified with its history
To date hfty-seyen bronze and marble
heroes, warriors, inventors, explorers
signers of the Declaration and states
men at large have been placed in the
hall If the full quota of figures u
provided thirty-nine more Ct thsse
efagies will be presented for admission
and under the statute they cannot bc
denied Already the hall Is crowded
with these relicts Of the ssa .ss. To pu
thirty-nine more in there would jam i
to an artistic and almost physical suffo
caticn.
A bill introduced in the last Con
gress, and possibly repeated in the pres
ent one, provided for the preparation
Of plans and estimates of cost of erect
ing a Hall of Fame in Washington t.
which the efhgies now in statuary Hal
should be removed, with space 70

rious consideration. It is. howeve~
evident that some day something will
have to be done about Statuary Hall.
Either the late-comers, the belated
States not yet inspired to send mute
representatives to the old Hall of Con-
gress, must be denied space in the gall
lery, or else an annax must be provided,
1t is hardly possible that Congress
would ever consent to the removal of
the present statues and the place
ment of their companion figures in the
Rotunda, with its greater space.
There is no particular congruity in
the placement of these State statues in
the old House of Representatives. They
do not belong there by virtue of any
association. II all the personages p
resented were former members of "a
gress, this emplacement might have a
logical significance. But many Of
them never came to Congress. Perhaps
their fame is greater because Of that
fact. Be that as it may, this is not a
congressional group that now looks
down upon the American public as it
assemblies in the historic hail. looks
down from varying heights and with
differing degrees of likeness to human
beings.
There would h. no great public grief
If the statue5 in the hall were kept in
their boxes until Congress provided an
other place for them, a more sppro-
pirate setting, more adequate and
less intrusive housing for this strangely
assorted gathering of Americana in
bronze and stone.

Presidents Surrender

Mountains and parks to remain in

know by experience the health-giving,
physical and mental rejuvenation the
contemplated Far Western Rocky

have meant to the President. But
there is another angle to the decision
OF the President to remain at this time

New Jerseys old-Car Campaign.

Elaborate ceremonies yesterday marked
New Jerseys membership in the fra
ternity of States that are seeking to
rid the highways of dilapidated and
unsafe motor vehicles. On a vacant lot
near the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, in
Jersey City. an automobile was burned
at the stake" as the first step of the
new campaign. Soaked in gasoline, this
ancient and unsafe vehicle was reduced
to mass of twisted steel for the edifi-
cation of large crowd who had been
asked to view the ceremony.
1t has long been recognized that a
large percentage of motor vehicle acci-
dents were due not so much to the hui
man element as to the improper me-
chanical condition of automobiles, par
ticularly those of great age. Bad
brakes, blowouts of tires that never
should be permitted on wheels, faulty
steering gear and other mechanical
breakdowns have too often resulted in
death or injury to pedestrians or mo-
florists. 1t is in line with the accepted
traffic theory that the destruction Of
these vehicles will materially reduce the
accident toll.
Many States have already entered
the campaign. In the District, through
voluntary cooperation by the dealers
with the traffic authorities, many thou
sands of dollars worth of automobiles
have been put out of existence. 1t is
obvious that the more States that join
the movement the greater will be the
benefits. Let others follow New Jer-
Sey's example.
