The Chevy Chase and DumbartOn
Teams Play Second Game Today.
Today's beautiful weather brought out
the golf players, and the green committees
of the Chevy Chase and Dumbarton clubs
had very little trouble in filling the ranks of
the two teams that were to meet today In
the match game for The Evening Star cup.
Both clubs had out their best players, and
when the match started at 1:3O today on
the beautiful course Of the Dumbarton
Club, the gallery that watched the promi-
nent players drive off at the initial tee was
a large one.
According to the reckoning of the golf
experts the Chevy Chase men are booked
for runaway victory Of today's game. as
the Dumbarton players Will be confronted
by all the crack players of the former club.
Colonel Denny and Messrs. Lafferty. Nc
Cannon and Horstman were in unusually
fine condition, and put forward their best
efforts to uphold the reputation of the
Chevy Chase Golf Club.
During the morning hours several men,
bers of the Dumbarton Club were practic-
ing the links of the club organization,
and high order of golf was put forward
for the visiting team to overcome.
The drive-offs of Messrs Denny, Mccain
mon, Lafferty and Horstman spoke well
for the prospects of the Chevy Chase team.

fed the committee that the church should
be organized without delay. The commit
tee has set Sunday. June 16. at $3.50 o'clock,
the date for the organization. On that
day services will be held in the Parker
Mann studio. where the afternoon Sunday

Strike at Alexandria Gives No Trouble
to Railway Company.

Strike at Alexandria Gives NO Trouble e
to Railway Company.
1t was stated in the offices Of the South
ern railway y this city that the trouble
with the machinists Of the company In
Alexandria did not amount to much. A
meeting was held there last night, it is
stated. and addressed by several labor agi-
tators, for the purpose of inducing the ma
chinfsts in the employ of the company to
go on strike for the nine-hour day. Seven
out of the 107 men comprising the entire
force of the shops there decided to strike
at o'clock today. This became known to
the superintendent, and at O'clock this
morning he asked the men if they intended
to strike. Their answer was not satisfac-
tory, and they were discharged at once
This differs somewhat from the informa-
tion given to the Alexandria correspondent
of The Star today, to the effect that the
men went on a strike.
The general situation in the shops of the
company is said to be improving raDidIy
All of the men who went on strike have
been discharged. and the company claims
that 1t consequently has no men on strike.
The places of the ones discharged are be-
ing filled No Inconvenience has been ex-
perienced, and it is predicted that men will
be secured as rapidly as they are needed.

DISAPPROVAL OF CLAIM
COMMISSIONER BEACH MAKES AD-
VERSE RECOMMENDATION.
Application for Compensation for
Extra Work Made by Brennan
Construction Company.

Capt. Lansing H. Beach, the Engineer
Commissioner has forwarded to his asso-
ciates of the District board recommended
ton Of adverse action upon the claim OF
the Brennan Construction Company, rep
resented by George E. Hamilton. for addi-
tional compensation on account of extra
work made necessary by changes in the
type of the bridge across Rock creek on
the line of Massachusetts avenue extended,
the location Of abutments and character OF
excavation. The claim has been before the
District Commissioners for number of
months, and was the subject of an ex-
tended hearing to the parties at interest.
In forwarding the papers to the other Com
missioners for final action Capt. Beach
says:
THE contract under which the claims for
extra compensation are made was entered
into with the Crawford Paving Company
and the Brennan Construction Company
merely executed the work for them. Inc
Crawford Paving Company, when the de-
sign for the bridge had been definitely de-
termined, accepted the sum of $1,1OO as
compensation for the extra expense in
volved by the change of type and location,
and the Brennan Construction Company
was fully aware of this when they under
took the work.
Matter of Classification.
Concerning the claim for a different
classification. that is, that material be clas-
sified as rock because it had been blasted
it may be stated that permit to blast was
given only when the removal of rock by
this manner became necessary. 1t has,
however, always been the custom to allow
the contractors to work in the most eco
ncmical manner possible and Mr.. Brennan
was allowed to blast material as an eco
ncmical method Of excavation for him.
which material could have probably been
removed without such means. AS there is
now no method of testing the accuracy Of
the assistant engineers classification it is
believed the Commissioners will have to
abide by his decision in the matter.
Concerning the claim for the eXcava-
tion of old timber, it is believed the claim
Is equitable, owing to the fact Of the un-
usual nature of the excavation and the in
creased cost of removing it, but an in
creased compensation for this work is dis
tinctly prohibited by the terms of the con-
tract. and the only remedy will be such
relief as Congress may give.
Il recommend that the Brennan Con-
struction Company be informed that the
Commissioners. having carefully considered
their claims. have come to the conclusion
that they cannot be allowed under the
terms of the contract for the construction
OF said bridge

will not be able to be at the Pan-American
exposition, at Buffalo, on June 13, which
was designated as Presidents day. After
the abandonment of the Northwestern por-
ton of the presidential tour the improve

the managers of the exposition TO hope that

his leaving her for forty-eight hours.

cent Mckinley this afternoon the President
said he felt much encouraged by the slight
change for the better in Mrs Mckinley S
condition and expressed strong hope that
the tide had turned and that from now on
she might continue to improve.
DR.. RiXey made his usual nightly visit to
the White House shortly after 8 o'clock and
