SIX NEAR DEATH,
DAM SWEPT AWAY
One Workman Hurt and
Nearly Drowned at New

Six men had a narrow escape from
drowning yesterday afternoon when one
of the big Golfer dams which are being
used to construct the mammoth cement
piers for the new Anacostia bridge
across the Eastern branch OF the Po-
tomac was swept away by the swift
current
At the time the accident occurred the
men were working near the bottom OF
the dam known as No. 6, which is about
fifteen feet below the surface of the
river. The heavy pIanks OF which the
dam is constructed gave away under
pressure Of the current. Instantly the
structure was filled with water. and be-
fore the men had a chance to turn. the
water was over their heads.
James GaJely. a labOrer, thlTty-eight
years old. Of 2IS Second street south

and seriously injured. He sustained a
compound fracture Of the left leg, q
lacerated wound on the right limb, and

At Casualty Hospital. It was said at
a late hour last night that he was
resting comfortably. and unless compli-
cations set in he would recover.

Anacostia, carpenter. John Peters, Of
1852 Sixth street southwest, carpenter;
William s. Lowman. Of 1908 Fourth

Davis, employed as a helper. All Of
them were slightly injured. but none
seriously.
AS the water came rushing into the
big cOftin-lilxe box. the men managed 20
reach the surface by keeping their
hands on the two remaining sides of the
dam. where they We're rescued by other
wOTkmen.
Gateley was making his way with the
rising water to the top OF the dam when
his legs became entangled in the broken
planks. He managed 10 kick himself
free. but one Of his legs was fractured.
Grabbing the timbers above, he pulled
himself up. where he was carried -

DISHONOR FACES
COLORED TROOPS
Three Companies of Twenty
fifth InfaDty May Be
Discharged.

Three companies Of the Twenty fifth
Infantry, colored. stand an excellent
chance Of being dishonorably discharged
in bodies. as the President has under
consideration such a recommendation
made TO him by the War Department.
This recommendation is made on the
report Of Colonel Darlington, inspector
general Of the army. who returned
few days ago from an investigation
made against the soldiers concerning
their conduct at Brownsville, Tex, last
summer, when the department was com
PEELED 10 withdraw them from that
point 10 prevent their being mobbed,
No Evidence Obtainable.
The regiment has been stationed for
some time at Fort Reno. O. T., and
three weeks ago Colonel Darlington was
sent there on a special mission to in
vestigate the charges the people OF
Brownsville brought against the col
Ored soldiers. The colonel had great diff
hculty In his work, as he could get no
one 10 give evidence. He even IS said
to have gone so far as 10 promise i'm
muniJy from punishment to anyone who
would come forward and tell the COM
plete story, but no one would incrim-
mate the others.
Colonel Darlington came back in dis
gust. He had proof that some men OF
each of the three companies were guilty
OF decidedly Objectionable conduct,
which resulted In serious disturbances,
but he could not discover which men.
Discharge Every Man.
The department, after carefully con-
sldeTing his report, recommended the
discharge OF every man OF the three
including the non-commis-
stoned officers. who also are colored.
Just why Colonel Darlington could not
obtain definite information through the
white officers of the regiment is not
made known.
The question has been up to the Presi-
dent several days now. it develops, and
he Executive is greatly perplexed. Some
Of the non-commissioned officers are on
the verge of honorable retirement from
the service.

The buildings are TO face tie south
and in this way the patients VIII have
the benefit Of warm sunshine in clear

thought. large enough 10 accommodate
sixty cots without serious crOwding. II
is planned to have them so placed as 10
permit Of comfortable sleeping with
cut exposure 10 the weather.
When the appropriation for the new
hospital was first made many adyO-
Gated the use Of tents and shacks as the
most economical means of treating a
large number Of patients. but DR.. Ko-
Der and his associates have since con-
cluded that such a scheme would result
in increased expense TO provide a SUIT
able plumbing system They contend
that the erection Of these structures
would require a system OF pipes cover
ing the entire space occupied by the
tents and shacks and that the cost en-
tailed would be sufficient 10 provide
treatment for many additional patients.
Dust a Constant Danger.
But more important than the ques-
ton Of economy, they think that the
pavilion scheme Will totally eliminate
the danger OF dust which would natu-
rally iii the air and affect badly pa
tients so near the ground as those IN
tents and shaclzs. Dust, they describe
as one OF the most prolific sources %
gerTn-infection and a constant danger

DR.. Kober is enthusiastic for the
success Of the proposed pavilion plan
and upon the completion Of the new
hospital buildings will watch the efTect
of the treatment with marked interest
He is confident that the plan can be
carried cut within the $4,000 appro-
pr!ated for the structure.
