APPEAL FOR MORE ROOM
STATE, WAR AND NAVY BUILD
ING CONTESTED.
Secretary of War Suggests Exclusive
Use of Building by His
: Department.

/. One of the questions to be submitted 10
Congress at its coming session is the grow
ing necessity of prompt provision for the
relief of the present overcrowded condition
of the big granite building at the corner
of 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue,
now occupied by the State, war ana navy
Departments. Secretary Taft advocates
the erection of a new executive building eor
the accommodation of the State and Navy
Departments and those other departments
now occupying rented buildings, with
view to the sole occupation of the State,
War and Navy Departments building by
the force of the War Department.
In a report to the President on the sub
ject he saws:
1.-The crowded condition of the War De-
partment building has necessitated the
renting of accommodations. in situations
more or less convenient. which aggregate
in cost 500 per annum; and even with
these additions the employees of the war
Depa rtment are so cramped as materially
to interfere with the discharge OF business
in the department. Attention is called 10
this fact with the hope that a new eX-
ecutive building may be constructed, which
shall afford accommodation for the State
and Navy and those other departments
which are now occupying rented buildings.
The force of the War Department is sufti-
Gently large to occupy, without wasting
room the entire building now occupied by
the State War and Navy Departments.

TROUBLE WITH TRACKS.
Gen. Harries Communicates With Com
missioners About Car Service;

Engineer Commissioner Biddle today re-
ceived "a communication from Gen. George
II. Harries. vice president of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company, in
which the railroad official assures the Com
mssionets that there will be much greater
care exercised in the future than in the
past with referenceEto the sanding of street
car tracks in the District. Gen. Harries
states that the old method of permitting
each motorman to sand the tracks from
the individual sapd7box on each car has
resulted very unsatisfactory and besides
has cost great deal of money which might
have been saved. d.
The new method, he 1says,nof sprinkfing
sand on the tracks by means of a separate
sahd-car is proving quite satisfactory and he
feels certain that now that the operators
have become more experienced in the use
of the car that there will be little or no
cause for complaint with reference to the
scattering of sand all over the track bed
and outside the rails. Gen. Harries states
that there is more trouble with bad rails
in Washington than in any other city In
the country. owing to the nature of the
climate and the leaves falling from the
numerous trees which line the streets.
Col. Biddle, in replying to the commune
cation from the railway company, states
that he appreciates the difficulties mention
ed by the general. and thanks that official
for the steps he has taken to prevent the
deposit Of surplus sand

The Goose Step.

From the Medical Record.
Every one witnessing military review
in Germany or Austria for the first time
must have been impressed by the peculiar
stiff-kneed. slamming step adopted on pa
rade by the infantry. At the congress OF
nat,ralists and physicians. which recently
met in Breslau. this goose STEP" as 1t is
popularity called, was strongly condemned.
DIR. Thalwitzer read a paper on the sub
ject in which he showed that the adoption
of this ridiculous step accounts for nu-
merous knee and foot complaints among the
troops Sixty per cent of the sores on the
feet Of the men are in consequence OF per-
sistent adherence to this antiquated step.

THREE MEN LOST THEIR LIVES.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BAT
TLESIP MASSACHUSETTS
FOUR MEN TERRIBLY SCALDED.
Gasket on Boiler Gave Way
Men Were Caught in a Trap
and Were Helpless to
Save Themselves.

Philadelphia, Dec. 16-Caught in a
trap and helpless to save themselves,
three men lost their lives and four
others, including Lieut.. William
c. Cole, We're terribly scalded yester
day by rush of steam and boiling
water in the fire room of the battle
ship Massachusetts, lying at the
League Island navy yard.
The accident was caused by the Civ
ing way of gasket or rubber washer
on boiler on the starboard side of
the ship.
The Massachusetts has been at the
navy yard for some time undergoing
extensive repairs, particularly to the
boilers and machinery. Although Capt.
Edward ID. Taussig and his officers
and men are aboard the ship, the Mas
sachusetts is virtually in charge of
the authorities of the navy yard.
The boiler on which the accident oc-
Cured had recently been cleaned and
thoroughly tested and the boilermak-
ers were at work on another boiler.
Without warning the gasket between
the boiler plate and the boiler head
gave way and a terrific rush of steam

the fire room were closed at the time
the accident occurred and the only
avenue of escape was a safety ladder.
Only one man, Bramlet, a fireman,
thought of the ladder, and he escaped
without a scald.
Few on the upper deck knew what
had happened until the steam came
rushing up from the seething pit be-
low. The work of rescue was prompt,
and to this promptness those who es-
capped death owe their thanks. The
first to enter the freehold was Lieut..
Cole. Without hesitation at becoming
scalded by the hot water and steam he
entered and dragged the men from the
place to the door, where they were
taken in charge by others. Bub and
Hamilton were dead when found and
Ritzel died a few minutes after being
taken on deck.
