ACCIDENT DELAYS BAY
Side EXCURSIONISTS
Break Down on Locomotive
Blocks Traffic.

The breaking Of a bolt on a Balti-
more and Ohio locomotive which had
been borrowed to assist in handling the
immense and unprecedented crowd which
visited Chesapeake Beach resulted last
night in the demolition of a trestle and
In the abandonment OF the train sched-
ule. The consequent delay in handling
the $500 people at the Beach was con-
siderable. and the last of the excursion
lists did not reach the city until far into
the morning.
The accident occurred on trestIe No 4.
about half mile east OF Berry station,
and but short distance from Ritchie's
station.
Cross Ties Cut in Two.
The wheels of the tender completely
cut the cross ties OF the bridge in two
from one end of the trestle to the other.
as clean as saw could have done. The
trestle is about fifty feet long.
The remarkable features of she acci-
left the tracks. and. despite the fact
that the cross ties depended upon to hold
the rail In position had been severed,
there was not the slightest spreading
of the rails and the coaches passed over
in safety.
Considerable Delay Caused.
Flagmen were sent up and down the
track to protect the train. and in
short time the wrecking crew was at
work repairing the damage 1t was
long and tedious task. however, and the
500 express from the Beach. which ar
rived a few minutes after the accident
and was stopped at Ritchie's station. did
rot reach the city until 1857 O'Clock.
The trains following were all held up
at Upper Marlboro. the difficulty of
operation being enhanced by trouble
with both the telegraph and telephone
wires. The first train through carried
back to the city all of the passengers
that had started for the beach on the
train that was wrecked. and the engine
and GERS OF that train were run onto the
siding at Ritchie's.
Beyond the annoyance OF the delay no
one was any the worse for the expert
ence. and even those in the train at
tached to the wrecked engine knew moth
ing of the wreck until they were brought
rom the cars by the long delay. With
he greatest difficulties TO contend with
he managers of the road handled the
.rowd in a most satisfactory manner
md with great credit to themselves and
he excellent condition OF the line.

Two of the banqueters who attracted
attention were well known labor leaders
They were Theodore Shaffer, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers. and Patrick Dolan. dis
trict president United Mine Workers Of
America. Representatives Dalzell, Jack
and Acheson of Pennsylvania. Judge Pen
nypacker and Ex-Governor Pattison, Rab-
bi Levy, and other noted local men were
present.
The anxiety of people TO meet the
President before the banquet began
caused many to crowd into the line of
hanqueters being introduced by J. j.
Haney to Mr. Knox and the President.
The line was temporarily stopped until
forty men and women were asked to re-
tire. When the banquet concluded scores
of people besieged the hall to secure
American Beauties or other souvenirs.
Impressed by Demonstration.
Upon leaving Pittsburg tonight. the
President said:
Il have been greatly impressed by
the size and the character of today's
demonstration. and wish publicly to
state how thoroughly l appreciate the
reception accorded me and the members
C: my party. especially desire to pay
deserved tribute to the excellence of the
arrangements. 1t is extraordinary that
such a grand demonstration should he
carried out and such crowds assembled
without anything unpleasant occurring
TO mar the occasion.
Il shall always cherish the memory
not only of how the President has been
greeted today. but Of the smoothness
with which the entire ceremony was

NEW LAW IN REGARD
TO JUSTICES VAGUE

period Of at least five years prior TO his
appointment. Each of said Justices be-
fore entering upon the duties of his
Office shall take an oath for the faithful
and impartial performance of the duties
Of his Office and shall give bond in such
form In such penalty and with such
surety or sureties as may be prescribed
by the Supreme Court of the District.
And said supreme court shall from
time to time divide the said District
into subdistricts where the justice there
Of shall have his Office for the transac-
tiOn of business, and may change the
boundaries of such subdistricts and the
localities OF the Offices of the justices
therein from time TO time as the volume
and convenience of the business may
require. No Justice of the peace during
his term of office shall engage in the
practice of the law, subject to the pen
atty Of removal from his office. When
the number of such justices of the peace
shall be reduced by death. resignation,
or expiration of term of service. or
otherwise, to six, the number of such
justices of the peace shall be six only.
and If the number shall not be reduced
TO six until the expiration of the term
"
six vacancies shall then be filled"
Solicitor Duvall's Opinion.
When this matter was brought to the
attention of City Solicitor Duvall yester-
day, he said there wcs no doubt of the
inconsistency in the section. and that ii
would require judicial consideration.
Just how this judicial consideration
Will be had is not now clear. 1t is held
by other attorneys that the new section
3 completely legislates the present ten
justices out of Offices and provides for
the appointment of six by the President.
This is based on the theory that the
old section is absolutely repealed. and
that in that repeal the old Offices We're
abolished and six new ones created.
However the section shall be ulti-
mately construed, it is evident that
those who drew it did not write into law
the provision which it was desired
should be expressed.

CUBAN POLICY APPL LAUDED

by that great instrument OF constructive
and administrative statesmanship-the
Constitution, under which we now live.
The document promulgated in 1888, un-
der which Washington became our first
President, supplemented, necessarily
supplemented, the Declaration of 1776.
We showed in the Revolution that we
had a right to be free; we showed when
we constructed the more perfect union
of the old confederacy that we knew
how to use that right as II needed to be
used.
Tasks of the Present.
I'VE have had our tasks to do In the
last four years. or rather we have had
as every generation must have, many
tasks to do, tasks affecting US abroad
and one of those tasks being done, as it
has been. has signaled our entry into
larger world.
1T is most appropriate that on this
Fourth o: July. this anniversary of the
birth Of the nation. it should be our
good fortune to have promulgated the
declaration establishing peace in the
Philippines and the acknowledgment to
the army of the praise so richly due.
our fellow Americans who wear the uni
form of the United States, for all that
they have done in the tropic islands
during the past four years.
Good Faith With Cuba.
I'VE said Cuba should become free
republic, and we have kept our word To
have turned Cuba over to the hands of
rs own people Immediately after the
withdrawal OF the Spanish flag would
have meant ruin and chaos. We estab-
lished a government in the islands; We
established peace and order; we began

troops ~ho had fought against the mis-
rule of their oppressors; we instituted
public school system. modelled upon
that which had been so potent factor
in our own national progress. We
cleaned the cities in Cuba for the first
time In their history.
We changed them from being the
most unhealthy to being among the
hoalthiest cities OF the civilized world
We introduced a system of orderly JUS

arbitrary despotism. So that any man,
rich or poor. weak or strong, could ap-
peal to the courts and know that he
would receive his rights.
Policy Toward Cuba.
And then. when in the fullness Of
time we felt they could walk arone, we
turned over the government to them and
now the beautiful Queen of the Antilles
has started on her course as a free re-
public among the nations OF the earth.
But there is one thing-our policy to-
ward Cuba has not yet met with its en-
tire fruition. 1t will meet with it. The
course of the last few years has made
mere evident than ever before that this
nation must in time to come have pecu-
MARY interests on the isthmus connecting
the two Americas and in the waters and
among the islands adjacent thereto. Ma
tionally we cannot occupy the position to-
ward these regions that we did toward
others where our interests are far less.
and this Is doubly true now that Congress
with great wisdom has provided for the
building of an interocean canal.

Rev. C. F. Wnbigler In
vited to Fill a Local
Pulpit.
A PHILADELPHIA CLERGYMAN
May Accept Tender If Made Unani-
mously by the Congregation-Deliv-
cred Sermon Here on Sunday, June IS
An Impression Made.

The congregation OF the First Baptist
Church has terdered call to the Rev.
G. F. Winbigler, of the Franklin Street
Church. Philadelphia.
From what is learned there is every
reason to believe that the divine from
The City of Brotherly Love win accept
the invitation to fill the pulpit at the
First Church.
1t was decided at a meeting of the
ocmmit,ee in charge of securing sue
SCISSOR to the Rev. Charles A. Stakeley,
held on Monday night last, TO tender a
rall TO the Rev. Dr. Winbigler. In ac-
cord with that decision special com
nittee went to Philadelphia and pre-
sented the call to him.
May Accept Unanimous Call
It is said that he did not look upon
the matter with disfayor, while he did
not announce his intention to accept
He, however, stated to the committee, IL
is said, that if he Is rendered a unani-
nous call he will consider the invita-
tion.
The Rev. DR.. Winbigler preached to
the congregation OF the First Church on
Sunday, June Is last. His visit to the
city was. however, not in expectation of
a call TO the pastorate Of that congre-
CATION. but simply on the invitation Of
personal friends.
His Hearers Impressed.
His sermon mode decided impression
on his hearers. and Immediately after
the services a large number of the con-
gregation held conference and decided
that ii would consider the proposition to
tender call to Mr. WinbigIer. Since
then the sentiment in his favor has been
steadily increasing and eliminated in
the meeting held on Monday evening.
when II was decided to invite h. n 10
fill the pulpit OF the church.
il is believed that when the matter is
laid before a full meeting of the mem
bers of the congregation a unanimous
call will be rendered him.
