raliza velozmente. Ell peligro
ha alberto los ojos a los pueblos
despreocupados, que no podian
temer amagos y danos de una

Esta vez, 4 10 menos, la soli-

tive in Enforcing Law.
The new power launch Major Sylvester
has proven great addition to the equip
ment Of the harbor police precinct. and the
officers of the precinct have been able to do
effective work in her during and before the
present hunting season. For a week or ten
days prior to the opening Of the season
Saturday last the Major Sylvester had been
stationed daily in the marshes of the East
ern branch to prevent the shooting Of birds
before the time allowed by law. So effect
i've was the work done by the officers that
1t is said not shot was fired out of sea-
son this year. The reason was that the Of
f1cers were able to go to all points in the
hunting field in the launch, while hereto
for all the patrolling done was from the
shore, as the tug Vigilant, owing to her
draught, could not go into the marshes at
ALL The Major Sylvester is now being
used for patrolling the former hunting
grounds on the eastern side Of the Poto-
mac, in District waters, on which no shoot
ing is allowed now under recent act OF
Congress. The marshes at Shepherd
Landing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and in Oxon run, opposite Alexandria, are
reported full of birds, and the harbor pre-
cinct officials are paying particular atten-
ton to them just now in order to enforce
the new regulations.

Short Circuit Causes Blaze.

An electrical display OF great brilliancy
and intensity was witnessed In the
substation of the Potomac Electric
Power Company at 4O5 Sth street shortly
after noon yesterday, caused by a short cir
cult in a cable behind the switchboard In
the plant. The flames continued for fully
I'VE minutes. leaping to the ceiling but
anally, after the power had been turned Off
and sand had been generously used, the
names were extinguished.
Just what caused the outbreak of fire
cannot be told, according to those In charge
OF the plant. About ten minutes after 10
o'clock there was buzzing noise and then
sparks. followed by the flames Thev
started behind the long switchboard in the
station. but soon pierced the board and
darted in many tongues from the front of II.
The flames were high about the board by
That time and the excitement was great
Several employees were in the station at the
time and they obtained some sand and
threw that the flames. After working
hard for over five minutes the flames were
finally subdued. The use of the sand and
burning of the wires and cables crippled the
plant for several hours in the afternoon
and IL was necessary to use the storage
batteries. The damage was estimated to
be about SOS.

Maj. Sylvester. today received letter
from John Hadley Doyle, president of the
Potomac River Regatta Association, thank
ing him and his men for their work in con-
nection with the regatta on Labor day. The
letter contains the following:
Il am writing this letter In the name of
the Potomac River Regatta Association, to
personally add my testimony thereto for
the assistance and safeguards furnished
by your men on the occasion of the regatta
on Labor day. September 8. 1906. The crowd
was great and the congestion around the
Potomac boat house was so large that 1t
would have been impossible to have han
died them had not Capt. Schneider admira-
bly, deployed his men and kept almost per-
feet order.
Thanks are also due to your detail of
detectives, for up to this hour not one loss
of the smallest character has been report
ed, and also to the sergeant in charge OF
the harbor who co-operated with the
United States cutter service and kept the
course clear. Every detail Of your service
was absolutely correct and hence it is
with pleasure 1 write you this letter of
commentator in behalf of the Potomac
River Regatta Association

the best-known of the fleet Of pleasure
craft owned here, is hauled out on the ma
rine railway at Reagan's boatyarG to be re-
built and put in order for further service
on the river. About two years ago the old
boat filled and sank in the tidal basin. She

paired. The hull of the boat was found in
excellent condition, and after the work on
her Is completed she will be very service

fitted with a power engine of sufficient size
to give her good speed.

pleasure craft, is on the railway at Rea-
CAMS to be overhauied. She will be ready
to go into service again tomorrow.

launch. A four-and-a-half horsepower gas
oline engine will be installed aboard the
boat, and other alterations will be made in
her to fit her for the new service. The Early
Bird is roomy craft about twenty-five
feet long. She will be left open and will be
used this fall for hunting and fishing trips
on the river,
