ard perhaps fatal accident yesterday after
noon. Miss Woods, it is stated was stand

some manner she lost her balance and
fell head first over the balustrade to the

about the head and injuries to her back
and shoulders. Miss Woods is the daugh-
ter of the late Andrew Woods, who for
many years was prominently connected
with the Washington navy yard.

Laurel election district. This district Is
the only one in the county where there

there is considerable speculation as to
which set OF names will be thrown out.

the navy and as a result of his efforts the
pay. prestige and official status of every
officer and enlisted man working beneath
the protective deck, have been increased.
AS in the of all remarkably strong
men, his name and fame is probably greater
abroad than at home. and. therefore, the
question to who would be his successor
has been discussed in the cabins and ward
rooms of the warships, as well in the
service and engineering clubs of the world.
1t was because both the President and
the Secretary of the Navy desired to make
no mistake In the matter Of Apo nting a
new engineer-in- chief that Admiral Mel
vile was continued on duty as chief of the
bureau of steam engineering six months
after he reached the retiring age. For
over year several able officers of the en-
gineer corps have been urged for appoint
ment but both the President and the Secre-
tary were reluctant to take up the QueS-
ton until the subject could receive the full
consideration that it deserved.
Selection of Rear Admiral Rae.
That the choice of Rear Admiral c. W.
Rae as the future chief Of the bureau of
steam engineering, is wise one, may be
evidenced by the satisfactory manner in
which the appointment has been received
by the officers of the engineer corps of the
navy. well as by the several flag officers.
Rear Admiral Rae's nomination was not
only Endorsed by Admiral Dewey and Rear
Admiral Taylor but practically the friends
Of every other aspirant hoped for the APP
pointment of Captain Rae, IL it was not
possible to procure the honor for their own
candidate.
The primary reason for making this selec-
ton was undoubtedly the official record OF
Captain Rae. Born in Hartford, Conn., in
1S47. and son of the late Rev. LuZern Rae,
his education had been very carefully d.
rected. Up to the close of the civil war
Hartford was a great educational center.
and the excellent custom existed of tutors
and masters personally interesting them
selves in teaching students how to work. 1t
was in that manner that the early training
of Captain Rae was developed, and thus
he was a BILE to enter the Rensselaer, Poly

This is not large amount, especially as 1t

by no means certain that he considers 1t
necessary to keep balance of $3O,OoOoOo
always locked up in the treasury. In addl-
ton to the 100000 working balance.
however there is available S22,0O0oU
which can be used to relieve the money
market AS the crop-moving demands upon

to over $50, 100000, Secretary Shaw is In
position to furnish within S13OOD,OO0 of the
entire amount required to move the crops
without cutting into the $Jo,oO0,OO work
ing balance. The New York banks should
be able to furnish this S13,ooo0O without
causing any severe stringency.
