conditions continued ideal yesterday, the
second day of the show, and the gathering
that witnessed the showing of the different
classes was even larger and more dist1n-
guished than on Friday. The classes them
selves were more interesting. and the crowd
came early and remained until the last
horn blew Not an incident occurred to
mar the days sport, and the decisions of
the Judges gave general satisfaction
Almost every one of prominence in official
and resident society in Washington was in
attendance on the show Friday, and yester-
day the list was even more complete.
Among those who witnesses the showing
of the various classes were Miss Alice

FOUND TO BE INSANE
DAN CoSTABEL COMMITTED TO ST.
ELIZABETH's.

Dan Costabel, the demented Italian. who
climbed over the high iron fence surround
the White House at l o'clock yesterday
morning and tried to enter the mansion, as
briefly told in The Star yesterday. was
pronounced insane by the police surgeons
late yesterday afternoon and taken to st.
Elizabeth's Asylum.
1t appears that the only garment Costabel
had on was short serge coat. He was
looking for his wife, he said. and imagined
he had been In communication with spirits
and had been told that his wife was in the
White House. 1t was about l o'clock yes
terday morning when he reached the south
boundary of the White House grounds and
found the gates locked. He succeeded in
getting over the fence and started In the
direction of the building. Policeman Hop
kins met him about fifty yards from the en-
trance and placed him under arrest
In telling of his recent whereabouts and
of his reason for being here. the man con-
tradicted himself constantly. and 1t has
been difficult for the police to find out
much about him. At one time, ne said he
came to the White House to find his wife,
and the next moment he stated that his
wife is dead and that 1t is her spirit that
is at the White House. Soon afterwarc,
he stated that he had a daughter, who
going to the White House to see the first
lady of the land about his daughter, who
was to furnish music for her.
Where is your daughter now?" he was
asked.
why. have no daughter" he replied.
Claims to Belong to Navy.
An Italian officer of the police force was
sent to see the prisoner at the first pre-
cinct station yesterday morning to find
out who he is and what he was doing here
He told this officer that he was steward in
the United States, and had been employed
in the navy for fourteen years. He stated
that he last served on the Olympia and
lett Pensacola April 70. that boat for
the north. This would seem to be con-
frmed by the fact that this steamer did
leave that port at that time.
he came to Washington Friday accord
Ing to his story, and hired room at :,43
pennsylvania avenue northwest, paying for
1t In advance. When evening came on he
was IN the White Lot and feeling sleepy
he took off all his clothes and lay down
in the lot for the night
why didn't you go back to your room?'
he was asked.
L didn't want to 20 there as l wanted
to get the air outside"
His Clothing Gone.
When he awoke in the night, he says, all
his clothes were gone, except his coat, upon
which he had laid his head He was bent
upon finding his wife or her spirit, which
ever 1t was. in the White House. and so
he started Immediately for that place. AL
though he found that the gates were lock-
ed, that could not deter him from finding
what he sought, and he scaled the walls
of the grounds and was Fastening toward
the Executive Mansion when he was sight
ed by the officer and caught.

day evening when work was stopped. about
a half mile OF new track was In p ace from
the siding at ST. Asaph station To within a
hundred yards of the station at Del Ray
BY the middle of this week. the engineers
calculate the new track can Toe completed
to the siding at Lloyds station. and tbs
part of the new track will then be put in
service. The grading of the roadhed is
completed from Spring Park To St Aslph,
and the ties and rails are on the ground
waiting to be placed in position and fas-
tened down. From St. Asaph southwark
to the beginning OF the emhankm Mt across
-Four Mile Run. the contractors have a
large force of men at work cutting down
entertainments and filling in hollows to
make a level track bed between these
points.
Work has also been started on the new
roadbed from the Spring Park siding to-
ward Alexandria. \ large force of men are
employed on the work, and the railway Of
ficials are pushing il toward completion
as rapidly possible.

bc hauling cars over the road within tho
next ten days. When these care are in
service. it Is stated. the new paflor ear.
recently purchased for use OF special par
ties, will be made ready for its runs over
the road
There has been much complaint by those
who travel over the Nj. Vernon line be
tween this city and Alexandria, that when
ever the road has special parties to con-
vey to Mt. Vernon. regular scheduled
trains are cut out. This is the basis of
the last complaint made against the rail-
way company before the Virginia railway
commission. which is to come up for n
hearing this month. With all foUp of the
new motors in service, the scheduled
trains will all be run, and IL is claimed
that there will be no further cause of com
plant against the electric railway COM
pany.

FIGHT ON POOL ROOM
CITIZENS SUBSCRIBING TO THE
EXPENSE FUND.

That the pool room at Kenilworth should
be put out Of business at once. in order 10
prevent the idea being adopted and similar
institutions started in other communities
was one of the main points brought out at
the special meeting of the Kenilworth Clti-
zens Association, 20 which the members
of the Prince George County Citizens AS
ISOLATION and of the Tuxedo Citizens' AsSo-
citation were invited. The meeting was held
last evening at kenilworth. This idea OF
the movement spreading struck the mem
b.rs present with much force and il made
deep and lasting impression.
After several members had stated that
harm is being done by the pool room In
Kenilworth. and speaking OF the alleged
blight on the community which II Is con-
sdered 10 bc. ii was suggested thar other
pool rooms might he established In other
places in the state. and that the entire
state would be covered with such institu-
tions. another speaker said that from reu-
able information he had received the inter
ests which are in control at keniworth
lave secured an option on property near
Hyattsrille. where. il is said, another pool
room would be established
This seemed more than anything else to
bring the members of the association 60 a
realization of the importance of doing what
they regard as their duty In connection with
the KenilwoFh pool room.
The main purpose of last nights meeting
OF the kenilworth Citizens Association was
to consider ways and means of continuing
the fight. begun Thursday I'm the arrest Of
two persons Interested in the pool room. and
ii was decided that money should first be
raised for meeting the necessary expenses
II was pointed out that competent legal ad-
vice must he obtained. far II Is along the
legal line that the war must be wagcd;
and that costs money.
To collect funds 4 motion was adopted
empowering the president TO appoint a com
mittee of ten 20 have charge Of getting
subscriptions and of collecting them Each
of the three associations Interested Will
have representation on the committee. From
the kenilworth Association the committee
members T. NJ. Fowler. l.. q Mallery.
w. r. Shaw and John Hinkle: from the
Tuxedo Association the following were ap-
pointed: G. NJ. obold. H. +. Harmon and
J. w. Corridor The members from the
to be named.
The committee began it's active work last
night before the meeting closed. and they
raised over one-third Of the estimated cost
of the legal fight against the pool room.
Their efforts will he actively continued In
the next few days.
AS time goes the citizens of kcnil-
worth who come in contact with the pool
room and use the cars used by the patrons
OF the place are becoming more jealous and
vfndiCtive in their fight against the inStitu-
ton. This cropped out in the speeches and
even in the side remarks OF many of the at
tendants at last nights meeting
