All dealers keep the RAILWAY TRANSFER QUESTION. The Attorney of the Rock Creek Co pany Gives His View of the Law. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The interview with Mr. Phillips, president of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, published in yesterday’s Star, and The Star's editorial comments thereon, make it proper that I should set the Rock Creek Railway Company right before you and the public. Mr. Phillips is reported as reading from the statute the following words: “The Met- ropolitan Railroad Company is authorized and required immediately to make recipro- cal transfer arrangements with street rail- road companies whose lines now connect with its lines, and to furnish such facil- ities therefor as the public convenience may require;” and he is reported to have said: “I have read that clause verbatim.” He is further reported to have said that he formed the Rock Creek company, among others, that it was the opinion of the board of directors of the Metropolitan company that the public, under the above act, was entitled to a free reciprocal transfer be- tween the respective lines. if Mr. Phillips was correctly reported, he did not read to your reporier the full pro- vision of the recent act of Congress on the subject of transfers. Those provisions in full are as follows: Section 5. That the Metropolitan Railroad Company is hereby authorized and required immediately to make reciprocal transfer arrangements with street railroad com- panies whose lines now connect with its lines, and to furnish such facilities therefor as the public convenience may require. Upon the completion of the underground electric system provided for in this act the said Metropolitan Railroad Company is here- by further authorized and required to enter into reciprocal trackage arrangements with connecting roads. The schedules and com- pensation shall be mutually agreed upon between the said Metropolitan Railroad Company and the companies with whose lines its lines connect; and in any case of failure to reach such tual agreement, the matters in dispute shall be determined by the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia, upon petition filed by either party. Provided, That every street railway com- pany in the District of Columbia whose lines connect, or whose lines may hereafter connect, with the lines of any other street railway company, is hereby subjected to the same requirements as to transfers and trackage arrangements, and upon similar conditions, as in this section provided in the case of the Metropolitan Railroad Com- pany and the lines connecting therewith. How any one reading this section of the act, and especially how a lawyer, as Mr. Phillips is, can say that this provides for a “free reciprocal transfer between the re- spective lines” would seem beyond compre- hension, inasmuch as it is specifically pro- vided that there shall be between the com- panies schedules and compensation mutually upon, and provision is made that in case of failure to reach such mutual agree- ment the matters in dispute shall be de- termined by the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia upon petition filed by either party. It is undoubtedly to the interest of the Metropolitan company that there should be free reciprocal transfers with the Rock Creek company, but the advantage of that arrangement would be all on the one side, as is evident from a comparison of the num- bers using the respective lines. The subject of the reciprocal transfers will be disposed of by the Rock Creek company according to the law and in a spirit of ac- commodation to the public, and the settle- ment of that matter only awaits the return of Mr. Newlands to the city. I do not write this in a controversial spirit or to provoke discussion on the sub- ject, but only to let you and the public know that the Rock Creek Railway Company dis- sents emphatically from Mr. Phillips’ con- struction of the law, and cannot consent to be bound by his ipse dixit or that of his board of directors. In conclusion, I beg to say that the propo- sition of the Rock Creek company for the issuance of a transfer for 3 cents, of which it should receive 2 cents and the Metropoli- tan company 1 cent, grew out of an agree- ment entered into after the passage of the act of Congress between the Rock Creek company and Mr. Stephenson, the late presi- dent of the Metropolitan company, and but for his death would before this have un- doubtedly passed into a formal agreement duly executed. Mr. Phillips is reported as saying that his company did not believe that Mr. Stephenson had entered into any agree- ment, but the fact is susceptivle of proof by the testimony of five witnesses Mving and Respectfully, HENRY E. DAVIS, 1. 85. | Attorney for the Rock Creek Railway Co. October 10, 1894. ee At Dalton, Ohio, an attempt was made Saturday night to lynch a men named Wei- mar, accused of incendiarism.

THE BOSTONS 10 GO 10 NEW YORK Reise Rn ee en Pfeffer to Have Charge of the Chicagos. iene staee soeere eeed THE LEAGUE ALARMED eee eS ae ere Washington is likely to be in the new National Base Ball Association. For some time numerous conferences have been held in this city, and a vast amount of corres- Pondence has been conducted, with a view to placing a club here in competition with the National League. It was intended to keep things quiet until after the meeting of the association provectors in Philadelphia soon, but some one who is posted has re- vealed to the New York Sun something of the plans of the association managers. He says: “According to the latest ideas, the cir- cult will be made up as follows: New York, Brocklyn, Philadelpaia, Providence or Washington in the east; Pittsburg, Chi- cago, Milwaukee and either Buffalo, Cin- cinnati or St Louis in the west. We have not definitely settled upon all the cities, for the reason that some of them are holding off to see what the others do. New Tork is all right far as Johnson is concerned, but if he does not want to take a chance in a fight with the league I think we can find other men willing to put up the money. For that matter, if a certain deal goes through, we might leave New York out and take in another fine city. Washington's Team. “In Washington, Walter Hewett is all ready to take hold, and, with the present St. Louis team transferred to his city, he would make money. Philadelphia will be very strong financially, and we have hopes of landing Clements, Weyhing, Carsey, Boyle, Cross, Hallman and Hamilton of the present Philadelphia league team. Dele- hanty, Sullivan and Taylor have already signed with Reach and Rogers. As far as Brooklyn is concerned, we have secured grcunds and can sign the entire Brooklyn league team when the time comes. “Pfeffer will manage the Chicago club, and will be backed by George Williams and four other capitalists. His play is to secure the present Cleveland team, and he will make an offer to Amos Rusie of the New Yorks of twice much money as he re- ceived this _ sea: Rusie signed with Pfeffer and Williams in 1891 to play in Chi- cago, and he would have played there but for the consolidation of the league and American Association. Buffalo is on the fence, but we are not worrying, for we can put a club into St. Louis without trouble. Milwaukee has already offered to go in with us, and has a strong club. Boston Players in New York. “If Johnson means business here, we can sign the entire Boston team, barring Duffy and McCarthy, who won't leave Boston on account of their business venture there. We can also add a few of the present New York team. P. T. Powers can manage the team if he wants to accept the position, and we would try to induce John B. Day to accept the presidency of it. Our idea is to organize on the basis of the old American Association and fight for recognition and protection unti] we had forced the league to terms. It is our plan to locate clubs in cities where the public is dissatisfied with the way things are being run by the league, and we figure that such a state of affairs exists in Washington, Philadelphia, Brook- lyn, Chicago and Pittsburg. “This association scheme is a go, and we have wcerked so quietly and successfully that we are almost ready to organize, and we will probably meet next week, Thurs- ay, in either Philatelphia or New York. We are net gofhg into this thing blindly, for we are all base ball men of experience and know the business from A to Z. Our scheme is to take five of the best players ficm each league club and pay them more money than they are getting now. Then we will take the best players in the eastern, western and New England leagues to fill up with, and by this means we will have salary lists smaller than those of the league. We can get the league players we want, for they have already refused to sign with their clubs, and are holding off at our request.” It is said that the National League mag- nates are so alarmed at the outlook that they will meet in New York today to dis- cuss it. It i: known that the league has had agents on the road investigating the truth of the various association stories, and endeavoring to sign players, and that infor- mation gethered by these men warrants a conference at once. President Young, H. R. Von der Horst, C. H. Byrne, E. B. Tal- cott, Reach and Rogers, Soden and Conant, the Wagners, and John T. Brush are among the prime movers in the league's present stand, and they are liable to be joined by the other magnates today or tomorrow. THE KENTUCKY FUTURITY.

Manager Hanlon of Baltimore yesterday made final arrangements for securing the professional foot ball team which is to represent Baltimore this fall. Mr. A. W.
