FIGHT TO ABOLISH
GRADE CROSSINGS
East Washington Citizens
Hear Adkins Report.
NAVY YARD SPUR STILL TN USE
Otherwise the Work Of Removing
Danger Spots Is Progressing
Satisfactorily.
NAVY YARD SPUR STILL IN USE

The rain last night did not dampen the
enthusiasm Of the members OF the East
Washington Citizens Association, who
gathered at Donnelly's Hall. 314 Penn
sylvania avenue southeast. TO consider
the report OF the committee on steam
railroads in reference 10 the abolition Of
grade crossings After the minutes OF
the last meeting had been read and ap-
proved and a resolution on the death Of
the late ]. w. BabsOn adopted, J. C..
Adkins, chairman OF the committee on
steam railroads, presented his report
In his report Mr. Adkins called at
tention to the fact that by the acts OF
1901 and 1903 Congress- had provided for
the abolition Of gra 5e crossings IN the
city by the year 1908. and while this
work was going on the spur which con-
meets the Pennsylvania railroad with the
Navy Yard was In use and would con-
tinue in use unless Congress made the
appropriation Of SIS, 900 recommended by
the Secretary OF the Navy for the pur-
chase of certain land on the water front
between the Anacostia bridge and the
Navy Yard and building the necessary
tracks in the yard.
The Washington times., 1906-04-06
Above or Below Street Level.

There was another way the grade
crossings could be abolished. Mr.. Ad-
kins said. and that was to put the tracks
above or below the street level.
NJ. L Weller said the railroads were
carrying out their part of the work as
called for by the several acts Of Con-
gress to abolish the crossings, and in so
far as the spur was concerned II was eY-
clusively for the use Of the Government.
That fact did not, however, take away
the Objectionable nor dangerous feature,
he said, nor did 1t lessen the chances
of persons being killed on the dead
mans curve"
Mr.. Smith. president OF the association.
was authorized TO appoint a committee
to prepare a statement for the use of
the Committee on Naval Affairs, show
ing the importance of the legislation
recommended by the Secretary of the
Navy. the statement to be presented
through the House COMMITTEES on the
District.

The BRAKEMAN Liquor Case.

Max Braveman, who was Wednesday
arrested upon two warrants for the
single sale of intoxicating liquor, was
yesterday found guilty upon two COM
plants and tie court imposed a fine
Of $50 and costs and 80 days in Jail in
each case. He elected to take the OPP
ton OF leaving the county for all time
and the officers are instructed to ar
rest and commit Immediately If he
puts iE an appearance at any future
period. His apprehension was caused
by Marshal Andrews. who during the
five years of his official life. has relent-
lessly pursued the seller of intoxicat-
ing liquor, and particularly that type
known as the pocket peddler. They
have all. without exception, found it
extremely improbable doing business
in that line in this community and it
is safe to say that there will be no let
up on the part of the marshal.

Two cows cost $40 each year for
keep. One of them yields 1000 quarts
Of milk a year, that bring $S6. The
other yields 1900 quarts, that bring
$26. The latter loses about $14 and
reduces the gain on the former from
SAG to $50 why do you keep that 1900
quart COW? You would be better of with
the one that clears SAG, for you would
have only half the Investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain S14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come and
prices would rule strong If all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding of
the great practical Importance of weed
ing out the Improbable cows from their
herds. Many a man would make fair
profit, that now faces constant loss, II
he would keep only such cows as pay
a profit on their keep.

In Pinar del Rio Hurricane Stays and
FeIIs, Wrseks and Destroys.

Havana, Oct. 21.-Reports received
by Governor Magoon this afternoon
from the provincial governors show
that the hurricane was less disastrous
than at first believed. The storm was
confined mainly to the provinces of
Havana and Pinar del Rio. Batabano,
-32 miles southeast of Hanava, was the
only town except the capital which
suffered greatly.
The mayor of that place reports
that nine persons were killed and that
many are missing. The American
steamers Campbell, plying between
the Isle of Pines and the coast, and
the Sava went ashore and many small
craft were wrecked.
Numerous houses were blown down
and hundreds of persons are home
less and destitute.
The loss there is estimated at $780,.
600. Governor Magoon has directed
Governor Nunez of Havana province
to assist Batabano. The mayor of
San Luis, province of Pinar del Rio
and in the center of the rich tobacco

tobacco, but no loss of life.
Governor Silva of Camaguey says
that no hurricane was experienced
there.
Aat Matanzas, where the Twenty
eighth United States infantry is en-
camped, and at Cardenas, where the
Fifth United States infantry is quar-
tered, tents were blown down and con-
siderable damage was done to prop
erty. No person, however, was in
iured.
All the southern portions of Havana
province is flooded and great damage
was done to crops and buildings.
The Isle of Pines escaped damage.

Judlsins Followed pirectionn.

William Allen White, the Kansas ed
ltor, tells in Harper's Weekly a tale
of the trials of a young reporter. His
editor had given him instruction in the
first principles of making a newspaper
story: 'Tell in the first few lines what
your story is about. Give the substance
at once. Then follow with a recital of
the facts. and conclude with interviews
with the people concerned. That is the
ONLY orderly way of writing your story"
The new man gave close attention to
this lesson, the result Of which was that
he handed in that night news item
which read as follows:
"Ru:us Jenkins, a carpenter, slipped
and fell in Vine street yesterday, and
sprained his ankle badly.
"Mr. jenkins was walking along Vine
street, when suddenly his feet slipped
from under him and he fell, spralning
one of his ankles.
when seen by a reporter he said,
4 was walking along Vine street, when
in some way my feet slipped from un.
der me, and fell heavily to the side
walk, sprainlng one of my ankles
"Mr. Frank Fuller said, / was walk
ing behind Mr.. Jenkins on Vine street,
when l saw him slip and fall to the
sidewalk. When assisted him to arise
he told me that he had sprained one Of
his ankles
"Dr. Thomas Rich. who attended Mr..
Jenkins, said, Mr.. Jenkins had badly
sprained ankle, due to a fall in Vine
street. He will be laid up for some
time
''Mr. Jenkins could not attend last
nights meeting Of the carpenters union.
The president, in converting the meet
ing, expressed regret that Mr.. Jenkins
could not attend, as he had slipped and
fallen in Vine street, sprainlng one OF
his ankles"
