WOULD QUICKEN TRAFFIC.
) Recommendations of the Electric
Railway Commission.
A rule has been recommended to the
Interstate commerce commission by the
District electric railway commission ordering
crowded cars to pass street crossings
and leave passengers to the cars behind.
This step was taken in interest of faster
t_ traffic. A regulation requiring street car
u companies to penalize motormen who run
by passengers at regular stopping places,
c when the cars are not already loaded,
r will be coupled to the first rule.
lS These rules will be among the new regulations
soon to be adopted for the operation
of stree* cars in the District. Memn
hers of the District electric railway come
mission believe that both ruies will do
e much toward improving traffic conditions.
,s Officials of the Washington Railway and .
,j Electrict Company were granted an informal
hearing before the electric rail~
way commission last night on proposed J
e changes in rules and regulations for the
e. operation and equipment of electric cars
i_ in Washington. Commissioners Smith
and West and Secretary Eddy represented
the commission, Clarence P. King, W. F.
Ham and J. T. Moffett being present as
y representatives of the railway company,
t C. P. King asked that riding on the
running boards open street cars be
11 made a dlsdemeanor, and that the pas'
senger so offending be punished Instead
- of making the car company responsible.

mond, Va., last evening in the parish j
hall of the Church of the Epiphany. The
lecture was the second of a series arS
ranged by the Churchmen's Deague.
Rev. Mr. Bowie said that the "new
democracy" was not new, but that men
v are getting a new conception of what it

its growing ideals, that conditions are not'

j The <juest on of the segregation of j t
white and colored passengers in street i tj
;' cars in the District of Columbia was c
' { brought up for discussion at the Feb-: lr
I ruary meeting of the Minnesota Avenue J 8
J Improvement Association last evening at ^
J j the home of Dr. George C. Havenner on ! '
' Minnesota avenue, with the result that: b
the delegate to the federation received jc
_i instiactions to vote favoring such a; 'j
j! segregation when the matter is eoni
sidcred by that l>ody. At the previous !
| meeting of the association the matter, i
f was laid on the table, but was taken up : r:
' last evening upon motion of Dr. Upton S.
" Hawser. Dr. Howser gave instances
j where the proposition of having separate
5 apartments in street cars for the two _
races In other cities had been carried out *
- successfully, and he could see no reason
; why the same should not be done in the
' District.
In tills connection a committee was ap- d
pointed, with Charles F. Linger as chair- w
| man, to endeavor to arrange for a iec'
tore on "The Negro." to be delivered by NV
Rev. Samuel W. Graffiin, pastor of tlie! tt
i Anaccstia Methodist Episcopal Church. j u
i Dr. Havrnner reported that due to the .
effoits of the association the item of ?00.OO
for a draw in the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge had been eliminated from the tl
' District bill as reported to the Senate.
This action was taken in opposition to p
1 the efforts of the Randle High.ands Citi- it
ens' Association, and a letter fiom this ai
i body read last evening requested that the pi
, action already taken be rescinded, and n
co-operation given. This, however, tne u
association failed to do because it was of
