Many Bathers DispOrt
In Chesapeake Salt Water

There is nothing more refreshing,
these hot August days, than a trip 10
Chesapeake Beach and a salt bath. II
drives summer care away. It is real
salt water bathing that is offered there.
This summer elaborate preparations
hove been made for the comfort and
safety of the bathers, and a mesh fe~-e
inC'oses a broad and deep expause of
waite front Within thus inclosuTe
bathing is as safe almost as In a bath
tub Within il also the attacks of the
sea nettle, which in these ATTITUDES
sometimes becomes unpleasant, are un-
known.
Beyond the fencing. of course, there is
the broader eXpanse of the bay. where
ventures0me swimmers sometimes make
their way. Even here the danger is by
no means so great as In the Potomac.
Washington stay-at-hOmeS are reaiiz-
ing this summer the full delights of
Chesapeake Beach. Every train OF the
Chesapeake Beach railway that leaves
the District line Is crowded with merry
makers. The boardwalk extending out
over the waters of the bay, and the
shaded coastline are filed; attractions
on the boardwalk are In fun blast, and
the hotels and restaurants busy. Dane
ing on the pavilion Is special attrac-
ton.

Jamestown's Trips
Are Very Populc-

The all day Sunday excursions Of the
new palatiaI steamer jamestown may
be safely classed among the most pOpu-
lar water trips Of the season.
This commodious and elegantly ap-
pointed steamer marks a decidedly new
departure in excursion boats An i'm
portant feature is its absolutely freprOof
construction. AS an additional pr0tec-
ton TO excursionists, there are water
tight bulkheads which preclude all pos
sibnity Of sinking. Some conception of
the roominess Of the jamestown may
be drawn from the fact that 1900 pas
sengers may be comfortably carried
other noteworthy features are rubber
tiled decks to prevent slipping, large
and sXcellently conducted dining room,
an interior dancing deck and 1irst-class
orchestra.

these trips is convenient. the boat Ieay-

STANDARD DAIRY
CASE COMPLICATED
Court Decides Corporation
Entitled to an Adjudication
in Bankruptcy.

With every turn Of the wheels Of the
law the affairs of the Standard Dairy
and Ice Company appear 10 bee ne
more and more complicated.
Justice Barnard OF H. District Su-
prems Court yesterday. however. took
the first step toward strengthening out
the legal tangle into which the affairs
of the company has gotten. when he
decided the corporation is entitled TO an
adjudication in bankruptcy. and direct
ed the receivers TO call meeting of its
creditors for the purpose Of electIn;, Il
trustee.
The principal question settled by the
court was that the letter of Or. G. Lloyd
Magruder. president or the Standard
Dairy and Ice Company. TO one of its
creditors, In which he admitted tbs
company was unable 10 pay its dsHCs,
was an act OF bankruptcy of the com
pany. Counsel for some of the eredJ .ors
opposed this contention on the ground
that the act OF the president Of a cor
poration is not the act OF the body un-
less it is particularly authorized.
DR. Magruder was called to give te5ti-
mony in reference to the condition of
the affairs Of the company. He saia
the company owed abOut $4,000. which
it is unable 10 pay. The plant, how
ever. ne said. is worth $4,000 and thl
good will" Of the business is worth
about $4,000. The value Of the plant. as
stated by the president, is greatly at
variance of the bid made for 1t some
time ago. when II was sold at public
auction At that time 1t was knocked
down TO William J. Zeh for s., 700. The
purchase was later repudiated by Mr..
Zeh. because Of alleged irregularity
connected with the sale.
For some time the affairs of the
Standard Dairy and Ice Company have
been managed by Mr.. Zeh and r. b.

by the court for that purpose. Justice
