LOSES HIS LEFT ARM
UNDER GAR WHEELS
Railroad Engineer Found Hurt by a
Track Walker in South Wash
ington Freight Yards.

; T. Clark. an employee of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, was walk
ing the tracks near Second ant X
Streets southeast last night about $40
O'Clock, when he discovered the body Of
an unconscious man on the tracks. with
his left arm severed from the BODY.
Under the rays OF his lantern Clark rec
ognized him as James II Posey. an engi-
neer on the road, who lives at 1247 Third
Street southeast Posey was removed
10 the Providence Hospital. where he
lies in critical condition. with the
chances against his recovery. He is suf-
fering both from the shock and from the
great loss Of blood before he was discov-
cred
There is no positive knowledge of how
the accident occurred. 1t is supposed
that Posey was crossing the yards on
the way home, and that he was struck
by passenger train No. 81. due at the sta
ton at Sis. though the crew Of the train
know nothing of striking the man. If
this were true. he must have lain by the
track for fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore he-Was discovered.

DICTIONARY USELESS
IN THE WORD CONTEST
Common Sense Methods the Best to
Pursue in Putting Letters Back
Into Original Words.

As the word contest progresses eompe-
dtiOn for the prizes shows an increasing
activity. and interest in the result is be-
coming more widespread Today has
brought the largest number of returns
of any day since the contest opened.
That great many more are taking
their time to work out the solution care
fully Is shown by the innumerable in
quiries received at The Times office.
The deeper they get into making a So
luton the better people appreciate that
the race is not to the swift or the most
resourceful but a contest where DELHI
crate and painstaking work is the best
T. P p writes TO inquire If it would
not be good idea to say in The Times
what dictionary will be the standard in
deciding the permissibility of words He
asks: Are the words in the puzzle con-
test TO consist of all words found In any
dictionary"
AS there are only 900 letters in the
whole chart the puzzle editor will say
there is not a spelling book in the Eng
lish language which is not so simple that
it does not contain a great many more
words than can possibly be made out of
TIE letters in the chart. Should it be-
come necessary to resort to dictionary
sary. all the modern dictionaries in veri-
flying the words The puzzle editor re-
peats, however. that the best solutions
will be those which have been made
through simple. common sense methods,
because the words in the chart were
simple before the letters were mixed up.
and the best way to put them together
is TO make words just as simple. II is
not plain to see where a dictionary will
contribute much assistance in making a
solution.
In regard to obsolete words, or words
which are out of USE the puzzle editor
viii repeat that they will not be al
lowed. They are not put into q die
tionary as words with a definition. but
for the information Of those who wish
TO know whether such words are disable.
Not being admissible in conversation or
correspondence, their use should not be
permitted in a contest of this kind
The vocabulary of a person of very
ordinary intelligence consists OF several
thousand words. The maximum num-
Der Of words which can be made out of
the letters in the chart is but q frac-
tional part of the most ordinary vo-
cabulary. This reduces the contest TO
one where ability to command a large
number Of words will not avail very
much It IS a puzzle which everybody
can work upon with equal chance of
success

HOSPITAL PARKING

Commissioners Prefer 20 Keep the Space
in Grass.

The committee Of administration of
Georgetown University Hospital will be
informed by the District Commissioners
that the request to have the parking in
front of the hospital paved, must be
denied The committed claimed the dust
arising from the parking space was
detrimental to patients in the hospital.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle. to whom
the matter was referred. says:
The practice of the office has been
consistently TO require the parking to
be maintained in cases similar to this.
the width OF the grass being about ten
feet, and there should be no difficulty
IN maintaining It.
BY keeping the lot watered it should
be possible to keep down the dust AS
the hospital authorities raised the oues-
ton OF hygiene. / move that il be re-
ferred 10 the Health Officer for his
opinion This Office. however, Is much
In favor of keeping the space in grass .

PROPOSED RESTRICTION
AROUSES SGHOOLBOY
Intimates the w. C. T. U. Should Not
Place Obstacles in Way of Earn
ing Pocket Money.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived a protest against the adoption
of the resolution recently presented TO
them by the W. c. 7. u. providing
for a curfew law and prohibiting bo.ss
under ten years Of age from selling
newspapers. The resolution also asked
that girls OF whatsoever age be pro-
hibited from selling papers. AID de-
manded that all boys over ten years.
be compelled TO obtain licenses showing
they were enrolled as pupils in either
the public or private schools in the
District.
The protest received yesterday Is sign
ed by "DeForest Ormes. 6le F Street,
a schoOlboy-" He says he sees no ne
cessity for adopting the resolution.
The matter OF going TO school Is all
right, he says, but TO stop a boy
under ten means to stop his pocket
money. and the same with the girls
There are not many girls who sell
papers. and I do not see why they
should be prevented IL they desire to
do so. 1 think the newsboys should be
heard IN the matter themselves"
The Commissioners have noted the
protest.

REMOVAL OF DOULOERS
FROM PINEY BRANCH
Engineer Richards Says Stones Were
Taken to Add to Rustic APP
pearance of Dam.

The Brightwood Citizens Association
recently requested the District Commits
sloners to discontinue the removing Of
boulders from the bed and banks OF
Piney Branch IN Rock Creek Park. The
protest was referred to Assistant En-
gineer w. p. Richards. who says that
instead OF removing rocks from this
stream the park authorities have gone
to considerable expense TO procure
boulders outside OF the park to put into
IT. some of which have been hauled
a distance Of seven or eight miles. Con-
tfnuing, ne says:
There have been. however. boulders.
removed from Pfney Branch and Broad
Branch that have been placed In the
recently constructed dam at Pierce Mil.
but these boulders were few in number
and were removed from inconspicuous
places. IT is not considered that their
removal has in any way injured the
beauty of the park, but has added to
It's rustic features by placing them in
more conspicuous places, not one of
them being covered up or hidden within
the body of the dam.
