The usual quiet OF the War Department

fore o'clock when McQuade came to his

the corridor as he wished to speak to him
Mr Ford asked him to come in. but he
refused, and then the appointment clerk
went outside as McQuade had requested.
Mr. Ford had no sooner closed the door
then McQuade rushed at him and struck
him a heavy blow upon the jaw. and con-
tinued to beat him until several messen-
gers and employees Of the department

CHESAPEAKE BEACH CONCERTS
HaIey's Band One of the Important
Attractions of the Resort.

There is no good reason why a person
living in Washington seeking recreation
or an outing for either a whole or part
of a day should not have his wish graft
fled to the fullest extent. Within an
hours ride of the city is located salt
water resort which offers attractions and
comforts not possessed by any other re-
sort this side of Atlantic City. The train
service for excursionists to Chesapeake
Beach has been arranged to suit the con-
venience of ALL so one can spend as much
or as little time at the beach as may be
desired In addition to this the place has
been so cultivated and improved that it
is a beautiful garden spot where one may
lounge in the shade Of the large trees and
enjoy the music Of the waves as they
come splashing in upon the sandy beach.
The daily afternoon and evening band
concerts, as rendered by Haley's fun con-
cert band, are proving a great attraction
and drawing thousands to this popular re-
sort. The large metallic music shell in
which the band plays is an attraction in
itself. The new connection which has been
made with the Columbia Street Railway
near Deanwood has entirely obviated the
annoying wait at the District line for eX-
curSioniSts returning from the Beach,
passengers being quickly transferred into
street cars sent out to meet the train for
their special accommodation.
Department employees and others who
are not able to spend the entire day at the
Beach appreciate the $50 = m. train, as
ii lands them at the resort in plenty of
time for a plunge in the waters, good
dinner at the Casino, and a pleasant even
ing listening to the music and enjoying
the varied anluSements at hand, the last
train for home not leaving the Beach until
10 o'clock.
