Davis, 24 Todd place northeast. "ily wife," says Mr. Davis, "with our three-year-old boy, was at North", Capitol street and Rhode Island ave nue to take a southbound car. She succeeded In putting- the baby on the car, but before she could get aboard the car started and went two blocks before It stopped, despite the pro tests of several passengers who had witnessed the incident. My wife had -to run two blocks to get the car, and when .she finally did get aboard be ing too disturbed and agitated she neglected to take the number of the car or the conductor. The car was at North Capitol street and Rhode Island avenue at about 10 43 a. m. The conductor did not make any rec ord of the affair. "I have observed recently the extreme youthfnlness of many of the conductors and motormen on the lines of this com pany. Not only the younger but the older men.stand In the middle or In the front of the car and give the starting signal without any pretesnse of look ing to see If anyone, is about to set on or off.U.0 rear platform. The Washington Railway and Elec tric Company will probably say they are not able to get older and more re , sponsible men, but the answer is that the Capital Traction Company does." Mr. Davis letter was forwarded by the commission to the Washington Rail way and Electric Company with. a. re quest for a reply within ten days.
