PLAN JOINT DRIVE " ON ONE-MAN CARS Citizens® Associations Will 1, Unite Efforts Against i Trolley System. OPERATION HELD MENACE Overworking of Motorman Said to TInvite Accidents as Well as Cause Traffic Delay. Concerted action is expected to be taken by citizens of the northern and northeastern sections of the city, through their citizens' assoclations, in.tho near future against the opera- ion of the one-man street cars in the National Capital. Already committces of these asso- ciations are arranging pians to bring about some change in the system of operating such cars op the lines of 1he Washington Railway and Electr Company., which cover their sections. It is held by these citizens that the operation of such cars is a men- awe to public safety as well as a desi- ment to adequate Service. Further it is held that the overation of such cars is a backward step for the Na- tional Capital. Organizations Protesting. The Citizens Avenue Citi Washington Citizen: and Brookland _Citizen Association, through whose territories the Wash- ington Railway and Electric Com- rating the one-man cars, are planning action in an effort to Lave this style of cars eliminated. These associations algo plan to take the matter to the Public Utilities Commissidn through the Federation of Citizen's i W. G.

Cars following are tied up, as; well as vehicles, which are not per-! mitted to pass a car while it is tak- ing in_or unloading passengers.” Mr. Henderson said the Public Util- ities Commission wa€ appealed to| last spriug not to permit the rail- 3 1y to cperate such cars. ut that the appeals were futile, Hel ald that at every meeting of his association complaints are made by some members axgninst this stvle of cars. He said that he expects the association to take up the matter within a short time in an effort to eliminate such cars. ! That the one-man cars should not | be permitted to be operated in the ! National Capital was pointed out by Washington Topham, delegate to the Federation of Citizens’ Associations | from the North Washington Citizens’ | Association. H Accidents Are Certain. The fact that the Capital Traction Company does not use such cars, Mr. -Topham said, shows that they are not the type of cars that an up-to- date street car company would put into use to transport the public. “There are hound to be accidents resulting from the operation of these one-man cars,” said Mr, Topham, “and some of them might be of a serious nature. Shortly after these cars were installed by the Washing- ton Railway and Electric Company there were ral serfous accidents. “One man cannot attend to the du- tles required of him to operate a street car and attend also to the collection of fares and Issue trans- fers at the same time and do it with safety.” he added. “I have taken par- ticular notice of the operation of these one-man cars for some time, and In_almost every Instance have found the operator to be of a nervous temperament, resulting _from the many duties required of,him in the operation of the car.” . Much Time Lo Mr. Topham¢pointed out also that much time is lost In loading passen- gers on the one-man cars and also| that traffic is delayed for other; vehicles 2s a result of the car being at a standstill while the operator is collecting fares and issuing transfers. He said there is no chance for the operator of the car to make up the lost time, because the schedule is such that it would be, impossible without breaking speed laws. Mr. Topham sald, however, that he had observed some of the operators of such cars, in an effort to make up lost time, operating the cars at ex- cessive speed. He sald the operation of the one- man’ cars would be taken up at the meeting of his assoclation next Mon- day night. —_— Fixing Up for the Winter.

This year he had a field of corn that grew to wondrous size, and he surveyed it every morn with gladness in his eges The rains arrived in timely showers, the sunshine followed then, the cornstalks grew through daylight hours, by night they grew again. My Uncle Hiram’s spirits soared, he watched the green corn wave; “this fall,” he said, “I can af- ford a haircut and a_shave. The way that ficld is looking now, the harvest will be fat; I'll lift the mort- gage irom the cow, and buy my wife 2 hat” He thought of many things he’d do when_all that corn was shucked, when it was run the sheller through, and to the market trucked. Then came a hot wind from the gra; the corn, as in a furnace mouth, burned up and blew awa; My Uncle Hiram viewed the wreck, crop gone, beyond recall; two briny tears ran down his neck, he sighed, aud that was all.

The alleged unauthorized presence in the grand jury room of John G. ‘Winston, described as a stenographer in the Department of Justice, is as- signed as the rcason for the plea. Through Attorney Frank J. Hogan the indicted men claimed that the law forbids the presence of any person in the grand jury room with the ex- ception of the witnesses, tho United States attorney and his assistants'and the Attorney General of the United States and his assistants, It is claim- ed that Winston is not included in any of those exceptions, but that he only acted as a stenographer, taking notes of the testimony. Davis and Phillips tell the court that they did not learn sooner of this alleged presence of Winston because they were not permitted to go before the grand jury as witnesses. although they had offered to do so and to waive all immunity. B. C. Morse also joined in the plea. THINKS LLOYD GEORGE KEY TO UNITED EUROPE ‘Writer Hopes Premier Will Take “Short Step” at Meeting of ‘World League.
