Richardson, for many years a well-known and respected resident of this city, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, 1106 L street. He had only been ill for about a week, but his death was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Richard- son was born in Baltimore county sixty- eight years ago, and came to Washington when a young man to enter on a business career. He married Miss Charlotte Wil- liamson, who survives him. He early ac- quired a firm faith in the future of Wash- ington, and for many years his time was chiefly taken up in caring for his real estate interests here. All the members of his family were with him when he pass- ed away. He leaves a widow and five chil- dren, Dr. C. W. Richardson, Mr. Mason Richardson, one of the assistant attor- neys of the District; Mrs. Dubois and two young unmarried daughters. , Mr. Richardson had been a member of New Yérk Avenue Presbyterian Church for many years. —_—_————- Anacostia Report. At the annual meeting of the stockhold- ers of the Anacostia and Potomac River Railway Company, held yesterday in Ana- cestia, President H. A. Griswold submitted his annual report. There is nothing re- markable about the document other than the decrease of the receipts of the road during the past year. Notwithstanding the decrease the property and rolling stock have been maintained to the standard. The to- tal receipts fer the year were $200,885.73, and the rumber of passengers carried, 1,- 528,987. The expenditures were above the receipts, amounting to $210,515.51, the sur- plus expenditure including bills to be paid. — ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

THE FRENCH CABINET Parisian Comment on the Present Crisis. THE SOLUTION LIKELY 10 BE HARD Rise in the Value of Railway Shares. ————— GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS PARIS, January 15._The newspapers, without exception, are of the opinion that the solution of the ministerial crisis will be a long and difficult matter. The radical and socialist organs, though jubilant at the fall of the cabinet, show anxiety in regard to the appointment of their successors. The monarchist organs assert that the republic is passing through a period of diffi- culty which may assume grave proportions and which may even involve the Elysce. The moderate republican press pays unanimous tribute to the correctness and clearness of the attitude of ex-Premier Dupuy, who has fallen, it is asserted, only because he was determined to safeguard constitutional principles. Many persons blame M. Barthou, the ex-minister of pub- le works, for not having shown the same reserve as M. Dupuy, and they reproach M. Barthou with having caused the cab- inet’s downfall. The consensus of opinion is that the only possible solution of the difficulty is a re- publican concentration under M. Bourgeois. LONDON, January 15.—In an_ editorial this morning the Times says: “It is diffi- cult to believe that the pretext advanced was really at the bottom of the vote which overthrew M. Dupuy. From the beginning his ministry had been imperiled. The fall would not of itself be of great importance, but it jeopardizes the position of President Casimir-Perier, who is said to be tired of office.” A dispatch to the Times from Paris says that whatever his excuse, M. Barthou is largely blamable for the fall of the cab- inet. No premier ever submitted a case to the chamber of deputies with more frank- ness than M. Dupuy. He found opposed to him all the most doughty fighters of the radical left, who in this case seemed to be unaware that they were championing: a more than usual revolutionary measure. The dispatch adds that the importance to the shareholders in the railways of the council's decision may be judged from the fact that before the hearing Midi shares were quoted at 1,170 francs and Orleans shares at 1,495 francs, whereas, today Midi shares were quoted at 1,342 francs and Or- leans shares at 1,627 francs. The judicial section of the council of state has jurisdic- tion without appeal in all litigation be- tween the state and individuals, its mem- bers, however, being appointed by the state. The resignation of the French cabinet announced in yesterday’s Star was due to the stand taken by the government relative to the state’s agreement with the rail- ways. M. Barthou held that the agree- ment ended in 1914, while the council of state decided that it was durable until In the French chamber yesterday M. Goblet severely stigmatized the decision of the cabinet to accept the decision of the council as final. M. Millerand said that the guarantees of railway interest had already cost France 52,000,000 francs. Toward the close of the debate the gov- ernment refused to accept a motion for the order of the day pure and simple, which the chamber had passed, and the action was rejected on a second vote by a majority of sixteen. Finally M. Dupuy demanded a vote on M. Trelat’s resolution approving the gov- ernment’s acceptance of the decision of the council of state. This resolution was rejected by a vote of 253 to 241. Thereupon the premier announced that he would resign, and with his associates hastened to the Elysce. WORK OF RESCUE SLOW. Nearly a Hundred Imprisoned in an English Mine. LONDON, January 15.—Throughout the night relays of men have worked desper- ately at the Diglake colliery, Audley, North Staffordshire, where a large number of miners were entombed yesterday by a sud- den rush of waters from the old workings, as already cabled to the Associated Press. By 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon 150 of the men and boys employed in the mine had been rescued. Of those who remained below it was thought that twenty were in the lower workings when the mine was flooded, and that they were drowned. From the time the disaster was signaled the res- cuers have been doing their utmost to save those who may remain alive and to recover the bodies of the drowned. The work of rescue, however, has not made much progress, and it is now be- lieved that there are still between ninety and one hundred men and boys in the mine. ——————— * DASHED TO THE GROUND. ETS Failure to Catch a Ladder Cost Two Lives. BALTIMORE, Md., January 15.—At 4 o'clock this morning fire broke out on the ground floor of 13 West Biddle street, and before discovered by a patrolman had made such headway that escape for the sleeping inmates was rendered a hazardous under- taking. When the firemen and neighbors reached the scene Thomas Whitridge, a broker, and his young wife appeared at the window of the second story front room. Mrs. Whitridge was unconscious. Her hus- band, holding her in his arms, leaned far out of the second-story window, and made a frantic grab and spring for the ladder which the firemen had run up. He missed the ladder, and both were dashed into eternity. Mrs. Whitridge was instantly killed, and her husband died a few minutes later. ‘The other occupants escaped uninjured. Boy ‘Has Gone. Albert M. Hayden is wanted by the police ona charge of robbing his stepmother, who is a widow of the late Dr. Hayden, who lived on Corcoran street. The sum involved is $500 in cash and a $500 registered bond. Mrs. Hayden gave him the money and bond yesterday to deposit in bank for her, so she charges, and he failed to deposit them, He also failed to return home, and early last evening the case was reported to the de- tectives. Detective Weedon went out and investigated the case. He learned that the boy is only ejghteen years old, and as no trace of him could be found in the city, the oflicer concluded that he had departed on an early train. He has friends in Jersey City, and thinking he might have gone to visit them, the chief of police of that place was notified of the case, and requested to arrest the boy if found. Sages Cigars Stolen. Eleven boxes of cigars were stolen from one of M. J. Keane’s wagons yesterday,and the police are looking for the thief and stolen property.

The nineteenth annual convention of the United States Potters’ Asspciation will be held commencing this afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Arlington,‘ continuing to- morrow and concluding With a banquet ‘Thursday night. There are sixty-five firms composing the association and each will have one or more delegates representing it. All during the forenoon today the dele- gates were arriving and by the hour set for the meeting nearly all were registered as representatives. The officers of the as- sociation are William Burgess of Trenton, N. J., president; Charles W. Franzheim of Wheeling, W. Va., first vice president; D. F. Haynes of Baltimore, second vice presi- dent; B. C. Simms of East Liverpool, Ohio, third vice president; J. H. Gcodwin of East Liverpool, Ohio, treasurer; Alfred Day of Steubenville, Ohio, secretary. Trenton, N. J., and East Liverpool, Ohio, have by far the larger representation, the former hav- ing seventeen firms on the active mem- bership list and the latter twenty-one firms. Besides the pottery firms in the associa- tion, there are a number of firms, known as associate members, whose business it is to supply the potters with material. The executive committee of the associa- tion is composed of Messrs. J. Hart Brew- er, John N. Taylor, J. H. Goodwin, John Moses, Joseph Willets, Joseph Mayer, Charles W. Franzheim and D, F, Haynes. An interesting committee is that of art and design, with Mr D. F. Haynes of Baltimore as chairman and Daniel Wiliets, James Moses, Homer Laughlin and Daniel Taylor as associates. It is understood that this ccmmittee will submit a report this year which will materially aid and elevate the designing of pottery in this country. ‘The next committee of interest is that on statistics, composed of J. Hart Brewer, as chairman; John W. Vodrey, W. M. Mar- shall and H. A. McNicol. The auditing committee is composed of Joseph Bur- roughs, W. L.

SS NEWS THIEVES CAUGHT, Wire Tappers Who Had Keen Selling Associated Press Matter. ‘The Chicago Evening Post has exposed a scheme to get the news of the Associated Press before its publication. The yearly ccst of the Associated Press dispatches is $1,250,000, and to secure portions of this news some of the smaller organizations have resorted to all sorts of devices, such as clipping cable dispatches from early edi- ticns and rewriting them to give them the apearance of original items, and tapping wires leased by the Associated Press. In order to catch these thieves old news dispatches printed in the Chicago papers from eight to twenty years ago were put on the wire that was believed to be manipu- lated. This wire was “Cut gut” outside of Chicago and another used Jor the regular repert. Several Pan-Amerigan and United Press papers were caught, ajong the latter being the Detroit Journal.and the St. Louis Chronicle. One William §, Brewer was the president of the Pan-American News Asso- ciation, also called the Union Associated Press, and the Eastern Associated Press, which rented rooms in a ;Chicago oftice building. Brewer maintained a regular sys- tem of wires fgr stealing information from telegraph companies. “They were strung over house-tops, through conduits, down water spouts, inside plumbing and in every way in which he could facilitate his vil- lainous schemes. uk A When sufficient evidence was collected it wus decided to make Brewer himself ex- pose his surreptitious metheds. From the Daily News of April 12, 1886, was clipped an account of an awfel cyclone which struck Kansas City thatday! and demolish- ed the great iron bridge, blew down many dwellings and several school houses, killing a number of children. ‘This Item was start- ed out about 12:30 o'clock over one of the circuits which was supposed to be tapped, and all the other newspaper offices or cities were cut off. This was followed by a fake item stating that the governor of Iowa had called out the militia during the stay of Kelly’s army in Des Moines. The United Press evening paper in Chi- cago used the cyclone story with a “scare head,” and all afternoon the newsboys cried “Extra! All about the Kansas City Cyclone! ‘The Detroit Journal and the St. Louis Chronicle, United Press papers, also had the “new: As soon as the wire-tapping concern dis- covered the imposition it telegraphed all over the country to the newspapers they served warning them not to use it, that it was untrue, but it was too late; most of the newspapers had gone to press with the eight years’ old news. eee ee MR. QUAY AND TRACTION. Differences With His Old Friends Elkins and Widencr. The Philadelphia Press this morning printed the following: The report of the differences between the Philadelphia Traction Company and Sena- tor Quay found confirmation yesterday when the results of the annual election of officers of the leased and operated roads were anaounced. For years Senator Quay has heen the president cf the 17th and 19th street com- pany, and a director in the old Union Pas- senger Railway Company, the parent of the present Philadelphia Traction Company. At the election yesterday Clay Kemble, a son of the late William H. Kemble, was chesen to succeed Senater Quay in the presidency of the 17th and 19th street com- pany, and Vice President George D. Wide- rer of the éraction company to take the Senator's place in the Union Company. Senator Quay’s holdings in the Philadel- phia Traction Company prior to last Thurs- ay amounted to 3,000 shares. He first be~ came interested in passenger railways at the instigation of the late Mr. Kemble. “Through all the years since,” said an old friend of Mr. Kemble’s last night, “he has been with Widener and Etkins in all their operations and deals. He had a hand in everything, and made a great deal of money out of these operations. “A story that is told on good authority is that his brokers asked him some time ago to increase his margin on a large block of the stock that he held. Mr. Quay expressed his willingness to do this when it became necessary, and nothing further was done until last’ week, when he made his attack on David Martin in the United States Sen- ate. Quickly following on this he gave orders to sell his stock, and it was done. In my opinion, it is something-more than mere politics that has induced him to part with the stock, or there must be something a great deal more than has yet been made public to make him break with such life- long friends as Widerer and Elkins. “Tt is said that Mr.. Quay still retains his small interest in the Union Company, and the determination to drop him was not reached until yesterday’morning. So late, in fact, that the printed tickets for the election were destroyed and typewritten ones used in their plac £ so0— Lively Rumaway. ‘There was an exciting scéne on Bright- wood road about 10 o’elock: this morning when a horse attached to Schiekler’s bread wagon became frightened and ran away. The running away of this horse frightened a six-horse team, drawing a load of hay, and these animals attempted to compete in the race. Two of them fell and were dragged fully fifty feet, sustaining serious injuries. One of the trolley poles, a gas lamp and the baker’s wagon also suffered. The country team belongs to Silas Jones, who lives at Olney, Montgomery county, oe Pickpocket at Work. There was another case of pocket pick- ing in a 14th street car yesterday, the victim being Mrs. Fannie M. Rohrer of No. 1710 Johnson avenue. She was on her way to the Treasury Department at the time, and the thief who took her pocket book got $10. No one in ordinary health need become bald or gray if he will follow sensible treatment.

Interests and Claims. METROPOLITAN’S PROTEST —— The subcommittee on railways of the House District committee gave a hearing this morning on the bill for the proposed street railway on ¥ street, G street and 22d street. Representatives of the Wash- ington and Georgetown Railroad Company, the Metropolitan Railroad Company, the Columbia Kailroad Company and of prop- erty owners were present. President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown road ssid his company pro- poses to build a cable road on F street, G street and 22d street. Some road should be built there, and it would seem that the Washington and Georgetown road should build it. “What is the population of the unoccu- pied territory?” asked Mr. Richardson. “At least 10,000 people,” replied Mr. Dun- lop. ‘fhat section of the city is very thickly populated and well built up. If we build the road into this section passengers can go to any part of the city on one fare. We will be in shape, too, to accommodate that northwestern end of the city adjacent to 22d street as it grows.” Mr. Dunlop showed the proposed route of the lines on a map of the city. He said that when the 22d street line reaches the city limits it would be extended into the suburban territory, as the needs of the country demanded. While the bill permits horses or electricity the company proposes to use the cable. What the Columbia Wants. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, in behalf of the Columbia railway, said his company wants an extension of its present line from 15th and New York avenue, along G and F streets to the river, using the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown company from 15th to 17th street. “Is the cable system of your road the same_as that in use on the Washington and Gecrgetown?” asked Mr. Richardson. “Exactly the same,” replied Mr. Wilson. “There will be no mechanical difficulty at all.” Mr. Wilson said his company pro- poses to extend its line by trolley from the city limits to the District line, a dis- tance of four miles, giving a line from the river to the Bladensburg road. The com- pany asked this same extension four years ago. "The new cable road will be running in less than sixty days, and now the company wants its extension. “he Washington and Georgetown Company has said time and time again in the past that it did not want to extend its line upon G street and F street, and said that when the Columbia road should use rapid transit no objection | would be made to the Columbia extension. The Columbia now has rapid transit, and yet when it asks for the extension the Washington and Georgetown steps in to claim the extersion for itself. Additional Advantages Promised. If the Columbia road gets the extensicn it will give the residents of that portion of the city double the facilities offered by the Washington and Georgetown Company. In addition to giving them access to the Co- lumbia system, they will also be trans- ferred to the Metropolitan road, thus giv- ing them access to fifty miles of track. If the Washington and Georgetown obtains the extension the residents will be o fiped exclusively to the Washington and Georgetown line, and as that company does not transfer with any other the people cculd not get into the territory covered by the Metropolitan and the Columbia roads. ‘The Columbia company has a petition of 1,300 residents of the west end of the city asking for the extension. The majority of the residents of that portion of the city are poor people and they want a road which would take them into the portions of the city where their work lies. Mr. Richardson questioned Mr. Wilson upon the statement made by the Com- missioners that “it is recognized that the Columbia company has a prior claim for this extension.” “Who recognizes that priority?” Mr. Richardson. = ae “It was recognized by the authorized representatives of the Washington and rgetown company,” said Mr. Wilson, vho came before the Commissioners and the committee four years ago and said that the Washington and Georgetown did not want the extension and had no objec- tion to the Columbia’s extension if the Columbia company should put in rapid transit power.” Protest Against Any Rond. Mr. T. Percy Myers, representing the property owners on 22d street, said he had petitions protesting against any railroad on that street. The petitions are signed by residents as well as property owners. They object on account of the narrow street, the width of the street being but 32 feet from curb to curb. It cannot be widened with- out cutting down the magnificent trees along the street. There are no back alleys, and the coal, ashes and garbage must be handled at the front doors. To widen 22d street would ruin the street. President Phillips’ Protest. President Philips of the Metropolitan Railroad Company today addressed the committee, protesting against the pro- posed 22d street line. He said his company has borrow2d $1,850,000 to complete the change of motive power and hopes by this change to make a successful fight for ex- istence. The section of the city which the proposed 22d street line would tap is neces- sary for the Metropolitan company. It is a thinly populated section of the city, and there is no need for a new road there. The Metropolitan road is now paralleled almost its entire distance by other roads, and it is not right to give it this new rival. Mr. Phillips said that the 22d street ex- tension of the Washington and Georgetown rcad is simply a speculative scheme and not in the line of fulfilling a demand. “I, as a stockholder and bond holder of the Washington and Georgetown company, earnestly protest against that road frit- tering away its valuable charter by going out into that territory as a speculative yenture in behalf of suburban lots.” The People Heard. Mr. van H. Tucker, president of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion, asked to be heard. ‘This hearing is for the railroad companies,” said Mr. Rich- ardson. “Well, I think the people are more in- terested,” replied Mr. Tucker. “We think differently,” said Mr. Richard- son, “and that the railroad companies should be heard first.” “I only ask for three minutes,” said Mr. Tucker. “Very well, then,” “we will give you three minutes. not want to deny any one a hearing. Mr. Tucker said that the Citizens’ Asso- ciation, representing a population of about 45,000 people, last night indorsed the bill for the extension of the Columbia railway. For years the Columbia railway furnished Kast Washington its only means of trans- portation, and the citizens desire the ex- tension because it will afford them in- creased facilities for reaching other parts of the city. President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown railway at this point took occasion to dehy the statement made by Mr. Wilson that the Washington and Georgetown road had ever agreed to let the Columbia road make the G street ex- tension. His read had protested against the Columbia running horse cars on Penn- sylvania avenue, but never made any prop- osition for the future. Mr. Wilson at a later stage reaffirmed his statement. He said that Mr. Hurt, while president of the Washington and George- town line, had made that statement, and that Commissioner Ross, Senator McMillan and the stenographer present at the hear- ing would confirm him. “ Mr. Dunlop Objects. In reply to a question from Mr. Babcock, President Dunlop said the W. and G. would object to taking its tracks off of 15th street, using 14th street instead, because the 15th said Mr. Richardson, We do INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS.

Mr. Glover, in behalf of the W. and G. road, said that the object of the 22d street line is to reach the Zoological Park. Enoch Totten said the W. and G. wanted to build on 22d street in anticipation of the growth of the city in that direction. If the Metropolitan is too poor to build, the W. and G. should not be debarred from doing so. ——’ ARRANGING DETAILS. Preparing for Southern Baptist Con- vention in May.
