CONSIDERS FUTURE NEEDS Farsightedness, He Sets Forth, Gives Force to His Arguments. CONVENIENCE TO BUSINESS Existing Street Car Line Only Advantage of 7th Street Location, He Says. "If you simply consider needs of the present day, the proposed site for the substation between 7th and 4% streets south west Is better than the site at 14th and Water streets southwest. If you look a little Into the future?the most practical way of looking at It?the 14th street site is far preferable." This is the opinion of Maj. Jay Mor- ' row. Engineer Commissioner, regarding the mooted question of the site for the substation provided for by Congress for the benefit of the southern travelers, to 1 cost approximately $80,000. "The only advantage of the 7th street site," Maj. Morrow continued, "is the ex- < istence of a car line. Aside from that < there are no other attractions. As a mat- : ter of fact the 14th street site is nearer the heart of the business section of the city, and, furthermore, will continue to be on a direct line with business activ- < ity, the way the city is growing now. Convenient to Business. "The 14th street location will provide a station that is more convenient to the va_ 1 rious department buildings. Above all, a substation should be located as far away i from the main station as possible with- 1 out interfering with the convenience. 1 "I'll predict," he continued, "that if the f substation is located at a point between ] 4'/& and 7th streets, as advocated by ' Commissioner West, some commuters ] from Virginia and residents in the south- ' west section of the city, in ten years, and possibly less, will raise a loud clamor to have the station moved to the 14th and Water streets site. J "Business activity is centered at 14th street and New York avenue northwest. , Indications are that the business section will move westward in the future, and not eastward. With the substation at 14th and Water streets, it will be on a 1 direct line with the business center. 1 Look at a city map and you will see the force of my contention. ( "I have records," Maj. Morrow said, ' "that show how the 14th street site was practically decided upon in 1903, when 1 the Union station and .other railway changes were considered by Congress. "The site was first selected at a conference of Senator McMillan, chairman i of tihe Senate District committee; Maj. Biddle. Engineer Commissioner, and the ' clerk to the chairman of the House District committee. Bixey Father of Plan. "Late Representative Rixey of Vlr- ' ginia who represented the district from . which commuters come who are protesting , against the site, was the father of it. He first suggested it to the conferees. If he ' were living he would still be in favor 1 of it. "These men realized they were considering a station that was to stand and serve the city for at least fifty or seventyfive years. That is the reason they decided upon the 14th street site. "As far as not having a car line for this site Is concerned, legislation can be sought providing an up-to-date line. There is no doubt that in two years a line comparing favorably with any line In the city will be on the scene. "It is simply a case of educating the public in looking Into the future," he concluded. Commissioner West Is still convinced that the 14th and Water streets site is out of the question and that the site at 7th street is for the best Interests of the citizens. He has received today several letters from business men and private individuals indorsing his stand and congratu- P lating him upon the fight he is making to bring the station to the 7th street site. ? H. O. Hall of 14th and Harvard streets northwest In a letter said: a "The location of a station at 14th street would almost entirely defeat the object E sought to be obtained by the act of Con- gress providing the station, owing to the ^ lnacceasiDiuy or inar location. ? J. Sondheimer of 50S-11 7h street southwest informed Mr. West in a letter that E the large majority of citizens in Southwest Washington oppose the 14th street ^ site and agree that a far better location r for the station would be either on the railroad property on C street between 4% 8 and 7th streets or on the public grounds at C street between B and 4% streets. a WEATHER FORECAST. } Fair and Warmer Tonight and Satur- 1 day; Light Northeast to East Winds. 0 For the District of Columbia and Mary- n land, fair tonight.

LEAP FOR FREEDOM Negress Prisoner Jumps From Court Window to Pavement. DROPS SIXTY FEET UNHURT Picked Up Moaning, But Hysteria Her Only Trouble. JUSTICE'S BUSINESS HALTED Had Been Arrested and Convicted of Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct, In a desperate effort to escape from the Police Court pens this morning. Gertrude Brown, a negress. twenty-eight years old. who gave her home address as Kensington. Md., made a^wlld leap from a rear window^ of the court building to the ground, a distance of sixty feet. Court bailiffs and attendants ran to the woman's assistance. She was picked up and conveyed to the Emergency Hospital in an ambulance. There she was subjected to careful examination. <So far as could be ascertained her Injuries were slight. She was suffering most from hysteria. The Incident occurred about 10 o'clock, in t*he morning, just when both branches of the Police Court are in full session. For a while pandemonium reigned. The ihnslnoao nf InoHno wiic IntPrnintftH txtViIIa court officials, police, witnesses and spectators rushed below stairs and out doors to where the woman lay in a heap on the ground. Appeared to Be Dying. The woman was lying prostrate apparently in a dying condition. That she escaped injury was information received with incredulity by those who picked her up. Her injuries consisted of several contusions about the abdomen and left arm. Informed of the distance the woman had dropped, the physicians at the hospital expressed astonishment. There were fully a dozen who witnessed the jump. Bach described It as a deliberate effort to escape, regardless of consequences. Climbing out on the window ledge, the woman hung suspended from the Bill for a moment. Then, turning her head as though to judge the distance to the ground, she loosened her hold and shot like a bullet to the pavement beneath. As she dropped she screamed hysterically. Apparently semi-consciou>? and moaning, she was picked up by the court attendants and loaded into an ambulance. Then she regained her senses. The ambulance made a record run to the hospital, where the woman was quickly placed on an operating table. Internal injuries may develop, the physicians state, but from the thoroughness of first examination this is deemed most unlikely. They exerted their principal efforts to reduce the patient's hysteria. Oirl Saw Her Drop. Among those who witnessed the at icmjiicu trouayc; waa iuisa rauune rcrry, the stenographer of P. W. Frlaby, an attorney-at-law, whose office is directly opposite the windows of the court pens, from which a clear view could be obtained of the window from which the Brown girl jumped and the spot where she landed. "Early this morning?I should say about half-past 8," said Miss Perry, "I saw the woman come to first one, then the other window of the court pens, and shake the < bars desperately, possibly half a dozen times, and then go way. Once or twice . after that she returned and did the same thing. 1 "She seemed to be crying. I looked at < her pretty hard. About half-past 9 she went away. I did not see her again until . just before she jumped. ] "About 10 o'clock, or a little after, my ] attention was attracted to the window just to the south of the court pens, by the j tearing of wire screening. I looked up. to see the woman climbing out of the win- , dow hurriedly. "She sat for a moment on the sill, and | then gradually lowered herself until she was hanging by her hands. She was pos- < sibly in this position for a minute or , more. "I realized she was going to let herself j drop, and called to her several times. Mr. i Frisby did the same thing. It didn't seem * to have any effect, however. ] "Just as soon as she heard us she looked downward and then let go. She \ fell all in a heap on the pavement and i lay there as though she were dead. "A little boy who was in a witness < room downstairs, saw her lying there and gave the alarm in the courtrooms. It { wasn't long before the bailiffs and others came to her assistance and carried her into one of the cellar rooms." . An investigation toy the court officials revealed that the Brown woman had entered the toilet of the women's room in the court pens, carefully locked the door J behind her, and then proceeded to tear away a light wire screening which sepa- * rated the toilet from a small entry which , leads directly to the window from which ( she jumped. t The court bailiffs who perform duty in t the pens say the thing was done so rap- ] idly and so quietly they did not know anything had happened until the alarm . was given. ] Convicted in Court. ] The woman was brought into court this J morning from the eighth precinct, charged , with being drunk and disorderly, and was j arrested about 2 o'clock in the morning, i In conjunction with another girl, Cora Berry. They were arrested by Policeman Williams, it is stated, after warnings for the > purpose to stop disorderly conduct and ' profanity In the vicinity of Florida ave- 1 nue and 18th street. After the arrest both prisoners were 1 locked up. Early this morning the Berry girl, depositing later $5 collateral, which : she afterward forfeited, was liberated. 1 When the Brown girl was brought into the courtroom It was seen she was evidently suffering from depression. From time to time she burst Into tears, and seemed on the verge of a collapse. Be- < cause of her condition her case was one of the first heard. The usual fine of ?> was imposed. In default of the cash she was committed. ] The court and police records give the address of the Brown woman as Kensington. Md.. with friends in Washington at 1 58 K street northwest, where, it is stated, the girl's mother lives. The address of the Berry woman Is given as Pomeroy court. { Both women, the police of the eighth precinct say. have been in trouble before on the same charges, the Berry woman ] especially. Both are well known habitues of Goat alley. THE COURT RECORD. District Supreme Court. J EQUITY COURT NO. 1?Mr. Justice Star. ford. j Estate of James E. Arnold; will dated March 1ft 1900, filed.
