When the signal was set TO 60 ahead
Engineer L.ingy started his train forward.
The last car Of Il was on the switch when
the engine OF the express struck Il. The
express was running Rt q speed Of twenty
Eve miles On hour, Peter 0'Donnell, the
engineer, when be saw a collision Was
inevitabls, jumped after setting his brakes.
Tho express engine hit the last car Of the
local a glanoinR blow and shunted IL on
the tracl0. The engine and cars OF the
express left the tracks also and went bump
ing along over the roadbed. As IL went
along the engine hit every or OF the local
and broke many windows.
Tho baggage car Of the Ideal was the first
car next 10 the engine and this was hit 90
hard by the express engine that IL was

ent Niles Bronson. He said that as far as
! be could Judge Ehgneer O'Donnel was not
responsible for the collision.
HE had received signal indicating a
clear night Of way, and that absolved him
from eli responsibility, said Supt. Bronson.
Before he jumped he reversed his brakes,
and did all he could to stop the train
Although Mr.. Bronson wouldn't say so,
he intimated that the switchman AZ Bedford
Park would have some explaining 70 do,
When the police went after this man he
bad disappeared. The railroad officials

The First Trial.

Last spring he was called to trial be-
fore Justice Pritch&rG, ther5 presiding
in Criminal Court No. L The trial was,
however, discontinued because of the
misconduct of one of the jurors. When
the trial had progressed for two days
the juror referred TO arose in his seat,
ard, addressing the court, said: ~ our
honor. / wish 10 know if the defendant
is to be tried by public opinion or ac-
ccrding to the evidence offered against
him. After giving the Juror an OPP
pertunity TO explain his conduct, which
sne did not do TO the satisfaction ot
the court, Justice Pritchard sent him
to jail for two months for contempt

PLAN TO ABOLISH ROLL
OF PER DIEM CLERKS
Clause in District Bill Provides Annual
Payment for ALI Such
Employees.

An almost total abolition of per diem
offices under the government of the Dis
triet of Columbia is being contemplated
by the House Committee on Appropria-
tionsA
Representative McCleary, chairman Of
the subcommittee in charge of the Dis
trict appropriation bill. yesterday after
noon introduced in the House bill aa-
thortzing the Committee on Appropria-
tions TO report on the District of Co
Iumbia appropriation bill such provis-
ion as may in their judgment be neces-
sary TO provide specifically for all per-
sonai services now authorized and being
paid for out of general appropriations,
and to restrict or limit such employ
ment of personal services hereafter
The adoption of this rule, 1t is thought.
Will simply mean that practically all
the per diem men at the District Build
ing will be transferred 10 the annual
rolls. Such an arrangement will be
slightly more economical than having

Max Pracht, an employe of the United

the shad has already become a nuisance
TO the salmon fishermen. The fish were
planted in the Pacific waters few
years ago by the United States Fish
Commission. and today they are thicker
at points on the line of the California,
Oregon, and Washington coasts than
they are on the Atlantic seaboard. The
change of habitat seems also to increase

Counsel for Defense.

Soon after his arrest Watson secured
the best legal talent OF the District bar
in his defense 1t has freely been con-
tended by his friends that because Of
the manner in which he secured pos
session of the money he was accused OF
embezzlfng and the nature of the funds
he appropriated, ne would not be con-
victed His defense was purely tech
rical IN nature His counsel argued that
Watson was not an officer of the Dis
trict government that he received the
checks which he appropriated, IN his ca
pacity as "a messenger for the Auditor,
and as such could not embeZzle the
property If ne committed any Of
fense at ali, it was contended. it was
larceny and not ernbezzlement.
On that question counsel for the de-
