The change in the service of the Belt Railroad Company, which it is proposed to put into operation within a few days, will alter very materially the transfer system of that route. It will not be practicable to make, as may be done now, a complete circuit of the belt on one fare. The rea- son for this, as given to a Star reporter by President Schoepf, is that this transfer privilege is lamentably abused. Many patrons of the line are not content with making a complete circuit, but in the ex- cursion season it is considered quite the proper thing to board one of the Belt cars and keep on’making the circuit till the patrons consider that they have had ride | enough. Of course there is, said Mr. Schoepf, a rule of the company against this, but it was difficult of enforcement, because it exacted too much of a memory task of the conductor. He would have to keep in mind the point at which the passenger boarded his car, and this, Mr. Schoepf said, was too much for the average Belt line con- ductor. Under the oid system, a man could board a Belt car at, say, 4th and P streets, and ride all the way around and ieave the car at the point where he entered it. He can’t do this under the new order of trans- fers. He cap board the car at 4th and P, follow this line to 1ith and B, and there receive a transfer to the llth street car. He will not be entitled to a transfer at 1ith and P, so if he wishes to ride along P from llth to 4th, he will have to pay an additional fare. Passengers will be entitled to but one transfer. This method also trusts a good deal to the memory of the conductor, for he may forget that the pas- senger who boarded his car at llth and E presented a transfer, and may issue a sec- ond transfer at 11th and P to go eastward. In the event that the memory of the con- ductor is not equal to the demands upon it, the company proposes to issue a trans- fer to those who wish it upon payment of fare. This will leave nothing to the mem- ory nor the discretion of the conductor. ——.—__. Another Grade Crossing Victim.

Tv ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Mins May Barker Tired of Life at Nine= teen Years. Miss May Barker, residing at No. 1426 9th street northwest, attempted suicide late yesterday afternoon by asphyxiation. Miss Barker is pretty, nineteen years old and follows the stagé as a profession. Her last engagement was at Baltimore, where she posed as a living picture. When not filling an engagement she lived at Washington, having a room at the number indicated: Yesterday afternoon, disconsolate from an unhappy love romance, Miss Barker broke @ mass of glass into small fragments with the erident intention of swallowing it. She abandoned this method of death, and after chinking the room turned om the gas and lay down. Not long after this William ‘Wildman, carpenter, son of Burr M. Wild- man, landlord to Miss Barker, returned from work. He smelled gas. Locating it as coming from Miss Barker’s room, he peered over her transom and took in the situation. He called “murder,” and Officer G. W. Greer of the eighth’ precinct re- sponded on the run. The door was broken in, the windows thrown up and the gas turned off. Officer Greer pulled for the police ambu- lanc>. This rushed over frem No. 2, ac- companied by Dr. Shurtleff, a medical stu- dent, who happened to be at the station when the call came The young lady was lifted in and hurried to Freedman’s Hospital. Her head and face were treated to a cold douche and most approved method of restoring suspended respiration resorted to by Dr. Mitchell. She was then treated for the purpose of surrounding the glass, had she swallowed any. She was So far recovered today that she was dis- charged from the@hospital. Before turning on the gas she wrote an affectionate note of farewell to her sister, Mrs. Ida Carson of Alexandria. Because of the faulty reports which went out at first, Medical Student-Shurtleff was involved as the lover who had probably caused Miss Barker that unhappiness which made her life too dreary to bear. This caused Mr. Shurtleff considerable embar- rassment. The only part he played in the unfortunate affair was in the ambulance. Today Miss tended her thanks to Surgeon-in-chief Wil- liams and Drs. Mitchell, Hills and Willis- ton of the hospital, to Student Shurtleff and to Officer Greer for their kind offices, but expressed no regret for her attempt to kill herself. She said that the motive which Prompted the act was a strictly personal one, with which the public could not be ex- pected to sympathize. —-—— An Evening in Ireland.
