IMPORTANT TO NAVY YARD
New Entrance for Freight Cars Con-
templated to Facilitate Work
on Ships at Capital.

matter OF great Importance to the
authorities of the Washington ngvy
yard is now receiving consideration at
the hands of the engineer commission.
er of tho district, the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and the bureau of
yards and docks Of the navy depart
ment 1t is said The matter in ques-
ton is the proposed acquiring of GER
tain lands lying Immediately east of
the navy yard on the water front by
the government
The necessity for the acquisition Of
this land has been shown by Capt. +.
c. II. Leutze. commandant OF the yard.
and the other naval officers of that es-
tablishment II is to be used in con-
nection with the proposed change of
route of the railroad tracks that enter
the yard now on the west side of the
lnclosure.
Without these tracks, II is said. the
great and important work of the naval
gun factory would be brought to a
standstill
The change OF route is made nee
sary because OF the new railroad tun-
mel in southeast Washington and TO
avoid having a grade crossing, which
would be unlawful. 1t is therefore
contemplated to have the tracks that
enter the navy yard approach the yard
from point half way between Penn
sylvania and Virginia avenues. to the
eastward of the yard, and proceed
thence along a trestle along the banks
OF the eastern branch OF the Potomac
TO the extreme southeastern corner of
the navy yard, where It is proposed
to make the point Of entry of the rail-
road tracks.
In order to carry out this arrange
ment It will be necessary, the naval
officers say. to procure by purchase
two waterfront lots. which are now
said TO be held at 1921 600 value by
their owners. II is proposed to secure
this territory by condemnation pro
ceedings The expense Of extending
the tracks along the river front to the
yard and OF constructing the tresue
will be borne by the railroad company
It is said II is believed that congress
will appropriate the amount necessary
for the change when the great and i'm
mediate necessities of the situation
are explained.
The proposed change of route will
also necessitate many changes in the
network of railroad tracks within the
navy yard. on which is operated Uncle
Sans little line Of railroad cars and
dinky engines, which haul the big and
little guns and ordnance equipment
Tor his great and growing navy.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
In Past Twenty Years Nearly

Twenty years ago no man living could
swim 100 yards under e5st seconds: last

50 seconds. During the same period
minute 501E seconds has been knocked off
the 500 yards time, near 3. minutes off the
half-mile and the mile record has been
reduced from IS minutes 197t seconds TO
q minutes ~ 3-5 seconds. while proper
tionate reductions have been made at in
