his second annual message to tn,

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.
Two Young Men Lose Their Lives
Saturday Evening.

Two Young Men Lose Their Lives
Saturday Evening.
Cororer Carr was called upon yesterday
to give certificates of death in the case OF
the two young men who were drowned at
the bathing beach Saturday. One of the
victims was William F. Gaskins. eighteen
years old, of No. 304O Rock Creek Church
road, and the other was Milton Warfield,
twenty-seven years old, who lived at 1217
F. street northwest.
Gaskins was employed at w. b. Moses IL
Sons furniture establishment. He went to
the bathing beach with friends after the
store closed Saturday afternoon. His COM
panions missed him soon after, and one of
them went to the part of the beach where
he had last been noticed and found him at
the bottom of the river. There was still
evidence of life in the body, and policemen
and others at the beach worked hard to
save him. The Emergency Hospital am
buiance soon arrived in response to call.
and DR. Smith then did what he could, but
his efforts were Of no avail.
Milton Warfield was clerk in Morcoe's
cigar store. He went to the river about
O'Clock Saturday night with several friends.
They hired a boat and went some distance
from shore where they disrobed and went
in the water. Soon after IT was known that
Warfield had disappeared under the water
his body was recovered and taken ashore.
Later in the night 1t was conveyed to the
morgue by Superintendent Schonenberger.
The parents of the two men were notified
and they took charge Of the remains.

MOTORMEN FINED.
Exceed the Rate Of Speed Prescribed
by Law.


by Law.
Six motormen in the employ Of the Capt.
tai Traction Company were reported in
the Police Court today for violating the
law regulating the speed of street railway
cars. They were James Maloney, William
Thrift, Stephen Shaw. George Hall, Chas.
Dade and Walter c. Ballison. Some of
them were alleged to have exceeded law
full speed on 14th street. and others on U
street. Judge Scott heard the cases, and
fined the men 81 each, saying he would in
crease the fine for similar offenses In the
future
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh appeared in
court on the part Of the District, and prose-
cuted the cases. Policemen NJ. G. O'Brien
and William Rout of the eighth precinct
were the witnesses. They We're detailed
on their bicycles to follow some of the cars,
and used their bicycle instruments for the
purpose of gauging the speed of the cars.
They found that some ran at the rate of
almost twenty miles an hour, and a num-
Der of motormen made feeble efforts to re-
duce the speed of their cars at crossings.
On the part of the defendants most of
them said they were unable to tell about
the speed OF cars, as they have no instru-
ments such as the police department fur
nishes the bicycle policemen. In the alb
sence of such an instrument they can only
guess at the speed made.
Judge Scott questioned some OF the de-
PENDANTS concerning the rules Of the COM
pany. which require them to run their cars
on time.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh told the court
that the fatal collision at 9th and r streets
northwest a week ago was no doubt the
result Of the fast running of the car. Had
the law been obeyed in that instance and
the motorman slowed down at the crossing
the fireman would not have beeA killed.
Commenting on the cases Judge Scott
said he disliked very much to fine the men
who work so hard for what they get He
thought the law should be SO framed that
prosecutions could reach the high-salaried
officials of the roads, whereby he thought
there would not be SO much trouble about
the fast running of cars. II such were
the case, he said, he had no doubt the rules
of the company would be made to avoid
these violations. For the benefit Of the
motormen the Judge said that some day
some of them will find themselves in court
for causing death because of the Illegal
speed of their cars.
In conclusion the court said that fines of
81 had been imposed in similar cases, but
that the warning had not been effective.
Unless there Is an improved condition Of
affairs in respect to the speed the motor
men who are arrested in the future may
expect to pay higher fines.

LIGHTS FOR LONG BRIDGE.
Railroad Company Informed of Num-
Der of Lamps Desired.

NdfIEOa0 company informed OF Mum.
her of Lamps Desired.
The railroads using the Long bridge were
requested recently by the District Com
missioners to assist in the better protec-
ton Of citizens and others using that struc-
ture by providing for lighting 1t by cleo
trio lights. The Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Company. in reply.
requested the Commissioners to state the
character Of lights they desire placed on
the bridge, and the number Of them. The
inquiry was referred by the Commissioners
to Mr. Thos. j. Fisher, inspector Of cleo
trio lighting, who has advised them that
the best and most feasible manner Of light
Ing the bridge would be by means of in
candescent electric lights.
Starting from the Washington entrance"
stated Mr.. Fisher. lights to the number Of
thirteen should be placed on every other
OF the existing poles of the Mount Vernon
electric railway, which extend along the
south side Of the roadway. This would
bring these lights on an average of 1875
feet apart up to the commencing of the
wooden bridge construction. The approx
mate length Of this construction to the
Virginia end is $50 feet. I would recon-
mend the Placing of sixteen lights on this
structure. suspended from the top lateral
struts at about an average distance Of 123
feet apart. This would make total of
twenty-nine incandescent electric lights,
which, in my OPINION owing to the narrow
"iulH VI TOdu anu the ldCl tHdt nSHtS are
unobstructed. would light this bridge very
amply. If this means of lighting is adopt
ed, it would be better If these lights were
supported with current from some source
other than the power now used for operat-
Ing the Mount Vernon railway, owing to
the fact that the voltage on this line is apt
to be very unsteady. thereby causing the
lights at times to burn dim"
In forwarding this report to the Com
missioners. Mr.. w. c. Allen, the electrical
engineer of the District, stated that. in
addition to the suggestion of Mr.. Fisher
that current for these lights be supplied
from some source other than used by the
electric railway company. 1t would not be
advisable to operate these lights from a
grounded trolley circuit Owing to the COM
paratively short distance between the road
way and the top of the bridge 1t would not
be advisable to place arc lights. because
sufficient distribution for the lights could
not be obtained. The location of the lights
proposed by Mr.. Fisher has been carefully
considered, and Mr.. Allen thinks they will
light the bridge very satisfactorily, pro-
vided the lamps of not less than TWEEN
ty-tive candlepower.
The recommendations of Mr.. Fisher and
of Mr.. Allen will, 1t is understood. be APP
proved by the Commissioners, and the rail-
road companies SO informed.

nothing personally. but I assume that the
board has shown in this, as in the other
board could do nothing else 1t must be re-
membered that the act Of Congress pro-
vides that the board of education shall
have power to employ and remove all
teachers, officers and other employees con-
nected with the public schools, and neither
the Commissioners nor any other official
authority can review its action. Therefore
1t would be plainly improper for me as
Commissioner to attend n meeting called
for the purpose of criticsing the action of
the board. and hence. when invited this
morning by representative of those who
called the meeting for this evening, I felt
obliged to decline. although 1 am always
glad to meet the citizens of the District on
proper occasion.
There can be nothing in the suggestion
that the board of education Is not thor
oughly representative of the District and
every section of it. / do not see how a
more representative board could have been
secured, and 1t has been generally approved
IN that as in every other respect by the
community 1t was not designed to be
sectional board, made up of delegates OF
sections, but one representative of the en-
tire District, as it is to have administrative
control of the entire school system and to
act as unit in the performance OF its
duties"
Case of MIR. FairbrOther.
The action of the board in not reappoint-
ing Mr.. Isaac Fairbrother as supervising
principal of the fourth division was great
surprise to that gentleman. as well as to
his friends. His supporters are so much
stirred up over the matter that they have
called a mass meeting to be held this
evening at the Fifth Baptist Church, on d
street near AZ street southwest, to protest
against the removal.
1t is stated that the change was decided
upon because it was thought to be in the
interests of all concerned. There were no
charges made against the character of Mr,
Fairbrother, and he stands SO well with the
beard that it is understood at the meeting
tomorrow consideration will be given to
the suggestion of Mr.. Fairbrother's ap-
pointment to another place. 1t is claimed
that 1t was the intention to provide for Mr..
Fairbrother, but that the work in making
appointments was not completed when the
board adjourned Saturday.
