INVESTIGATING THE EVIL.
Charges Against Railroad Com
panies Are Heard.

Washington, ID. o.. Sept. 5-The
Interstate Commerce Commission has
today begun the hearing in regard to
the charges brought against number
of railroad companies and private con-
Germs owning private rolling stock for
the transportation of their products.
1t is charged that the act to regulate
interstate commerce is being violated
in several particulars by the defen-
dants. The proceedings are directed
against the Armour Car Line, the
American Refrigerator transportation
Co.. the Santa Fe Refrigerator Dis
patch and the following railroads !:
st. Louis q San Francisco; Atchin-
osn. Topeka q Santa Fe; st. Louis,
Iron Mountain q Southern; Central
of Georgia; Southern Atlantic Coast
Line; Seaboard Air Line, PennsYl-
vania, Southern Pacific and Kansas
City Southern.
1t is alleged that by way of rebates
or other devices the refrigerator lines
are acting for the railroads as author
lied agents, and the railroads, acting
through the refrigerator lines, are col
lectting and receiving for the refrigcr-
alton of fruit and vegetables lower
rates from some shippers than they are
contemporaneously receiving for simi-
lar services rendered toother shippers.
This is held to be in violation of sec
tions 2 and three of the act to regu-
late Interstate commerce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and file with the Interstate Com
merce Commission the rates and
charges imposed for the refrigeration
of fruits and vegetables constitute a
violation o., section of the Interstate
Commerce act The present proceed
ings are considered as test and it il
said they will prove of great value in
informing Congress that new laws are
needed for national control of private
car lines where combinations are made
with railroads. which affect the freight
and refrigerator schedules.

DOCKING THE VESSELS.
Preparations For Repairing The
Various Warships. :

The final schedule for repairing and
docking this winter the vessels of
the North Atlantic fleet, commanded
by Rear Admiral r.. d. Evans, has
been arranged by the Chief Of the
Bureau of Construction and Repair.
Rear Admiral W. l.. Capps, of the
Navy Department.
The battleship Alabama will go to
the New York navy yard on Decem-
Der 10 for preliminary survey and
docking; the Illinois TO Boston ON the
same date for the same purpose. and
ON that date the Iowa will be sent TO
Norfolk aud the Massachusetts, to-Lea-
gne Island for survey only.
Owing TO the limited capacity of
the docks at Norfolk and at League
Island, after the big battleships Iowa
and Massachusetts, are surveyed at
those places they will be sent to New
York to be drydocked there. The re-
pairs recommended as a result of the
surveys of these ships will be made in
the spring. The Maine has already
been surveyed and it is the present
plan that she shall go to the New
York navy yard on October 90 for re-
pairs that will occupy about 40 days.
The Missouri on October 90 will go
to the Boston navy yard for 40 days
repair work. The Kearsarge will be
sent to Norfolk and the Kentucky TO
League Island for repairs that will
take about 40 days. and then they
will be sent to the New York yard for
docking. 1t is planned by the Bureau
Of Construction and repair that the
same ships shall be sent to the same
yards every spring and fall for survey |
md repairs The Brooklyn, Chatta-
looga and Tacoma are scheduled to 90 |
20 the New York navy yard on Sep |
iember 10 for docking and 30 days
-epairs The cruiser Atlanta is to be |
put out of commission at the Norfolk |
navy yard and will be used for hous-
ng the officers and men of the reserve /
iorpeddo- boat fiotilla. The Texas and /
Arkansas will go TO Norfolk this
week and the Florida and Nevada to /
league Island to receive repairs which
will consume 80 days.

WATCH IN RAPID TRANSIT.

Less Than An Hour.

The Chief az Police and the entire
force are on the lookout for clever
colored boy VINO is suspected Of having
purloined watch. the property uf a
naval officers wife. residing in the
Naval Academy The boy can be
identified, bat as the parties are now
in possession OF their property. they
refuse. it is said, to prosecute.
The watch was in need Of repair
few days ago and was taken to the
jewelry store Of Mr.. Knackstedt, on
Maryland avenue, to be mended
AS is the usual custom Of jewellers, the
number of the watch was taken, and
il was an easy matter to identify the
timepiece after Ii had been taken away
by the owner who had it fixed and
was returned in short space of an
hour later The watch had scarcely
left the jeweler'E when a oolored. boy
came in with the identical timepiece
aud wanted to know its value, etc.
The jeweler identified the watch and
told the colored boy that it belonged
to Mrs. -, wife of Lieutenant -.
in the Naval Academy, and inquired
how it came into possession Of the
boy. The explanation Was somewhat
vague and unsatisfactory and the
jeweler kept the watch, returning it
little later to the owner The jeweIer
also attempted to hold the boy until
proper charges were made against
him, but there have been no further
Developments and the watch reposes
safely where it belongs, after having

woodchoppers' Outing.

Labor Day was celebrated in true
outing style by the Woodchoppers'
Athletic Association OF Annapolis.
Although the threatening weather pre-
vented the crowd being so large as
was expected, yet there was good
attendance all day at Woodchoppers
Grove, near Camp Parole. che base
ball game formed the chief feature of
amusement in the afternoon and was
much enjoyed by the rooters for both
sides, who cheered their fayorites to
victory. Dancing was enjoyed in the
evening by large party of young
people who drove out to the grove in
carriages. The outing given BY the
Woodchoppers was a great success.
In the fifth inning Of the game Leo
Hantski, of the Red Peppers, fell
while running bases and broke two
ribs. He was removed to the Emer-
gency Hospital in this city, where he
now is. His hurts, while painful,
are not considered dangerous and it is
expected that he will not suffer any
permanent trouble as a result Of his
fall.

LABOR'S PICNIC OVER SPA.
Big Crowd Turned Out For Engi-
neer's Outing At Bouch-
er's Grove.
NEARLY SIX HUNDRED ATTEND
DURING EVENING.
Base Ball Game In The Morning
-Harksmen Won Prizes
In Afternoon.

Yesterdays afternoon and evening
picnic aud outing at Boucher's Grove,
under the auspices of the local union
Of the Brotherhood of Steam Engineers,
proved a more successful Labor Day
celebration than the one held last
year, aud the manageme emit expressed
itself as we'll satisfied with the result.
Not including the crowd which
crossed the creek during the afternoon,
many of whom remained at the grove
till late last night, and still others of
whom were given rebate tickets to re-
turn after supper there were 5Sl per-
sons ferried across the creek for the
evenings fun. The attendance during
the afternoon was larger than had
been expected, and the entertainment
furnished before supper was enjoyed
The afternoon dance was we'll patron
lied, not alone bv the townspeople,
but by the midshipmen as well.
The fun gotten by some of the upper
classmen present out of the poor
''plebes' proved one of the features of
the afternoons entertainment. While
no actual running was done, the
higher classmen managed to keep the
fourth olassmen decidedly nervous.
One little "plebe' even went so far as
to report to the upper classmen before
each dance and ask permission to
dance with whatever Young lady he
had that particular dance with.
Another feature of the afternoon S
pleasure was the big handicap shoot
held at the traps under the auspices
of the Annapolis Gun Club There
were four events and the shooting was
in relays of 10 birds to each event

Mr.. J. Y. O'Connor, we'll known
labor leader and speaker of Baltimore,
was scheduled to deliver ami address
upon 1.-THE Principles of Unionism,
but the shooting over the traps in
terfered with this at the time sched-
uled and before the shoot was conclud-
ed Mr.. O'Connor was compelled to re-
turn to Baltimore. It was impossible
for him to deliver the address during
the shoot on account of the noise from
the traps, as the various squads bang
ed away at the clay birds. This proved
the only disappointment of the days
outing.
In the morning there was baseball
game in which the Red Peppers de-
feated an uptown combination team

trenoon and evening refreshments
were served by Mr.. Frank Carrick, to
