GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The summer exodus from the city starts
as soon as the public schools close and
parents can take their children to the coun-
try for the summer. The cool weather Of
the early part OF June seems to have made
the present warm weather all the more I'M
comfortable, and has caused the annual
migration to the resorts along the lower
Potomac to start suddenly and to be quite
heavy on the first jump. Wednesday after
noon the steamer Wakefield, which Is run
ming on the lower river route when she
pulled out from her dock here shortly after
o'clock looked as II she had an excursion
party aboard, as her decks were crowded
with passengers. Some were going to Will
kerson's, some to Coltons, and to other
points, but the bulk of them purchased
tickets for Colonial Beach, and will spend
the entire summer there. The travel to the
down-river resorts will be quite heavy for
about two months, and about September
the tide will turn and the heavy travel will
be from down the river this way.
Work is being pushed on the tug William

FAvORS THE CITIZENS
Decision of Commissioners Re-
garding Site for Stable.
FINALLY SETTLED TODAY
Messrs. Macfarland and West Vote
Against the Proposition.
LOCATION TO BE ELSEWHERE
Projected Building in Block Bounded
by Bryant, Adams, Second and
Third Streets Abandoned.
LOCATION TO BE ELSEWHERE

The District stables are not to be located
in the block bounded by Bryant, Adams,
Sd and I'd streets northwest. The question
of this stable. which has been responsible
for considerable friction during the past
two weeks the proposed site being bitterly
opposed by almost the entire number of resi-
dents and owners of property within a
radius of several blocks of the site, was
definitely settled this morning in favor of
the citizens and property interests, when
Commissioners mcfarland and West voted
against Commissioner Morrow's recon-
mendation to locate the stables at that
point.
Commissioner West was opposed to To-
eating the stables in Bloomingdale from
the time they were first proposed by Capt.
Morrow. He was still more convinced in
his views after hearing the arguments pre-
sented by the hundred or more citizens
who appeared before the Commissioners at
the District building a week ago, and after
he personally visited the proposed site and
made thorough study of the prevailing
conditions. He stated that there are many
reasons why the stable should not be To-
Gated at that point, and very few why it
should be.
Commissioner Macfarland was also i'm
pressed with the injustice of the PROPOSE
ton after hearing the arguments of the
citizens and after visiting the site person.
ally. He is of the opinion, he states, that
the site would interfere with development
in that section. He stated that while he
can appreciate the prospect of such a de-
velopment being doubtful, which is the
opinion of the Engineer Commissioner, he
cannot take that view, and for these rea-
sons he voted against Capt. Morrow's mo-

BOY BECOMES cALLloPE.
Swallows Tin Whistle and Learns to
Play Tunes.

Des Moines. Ia - Lars Larson,
seven-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Johan Larson, living near here, Is
achieving fame as human calliope.
The lad, who is of an initiative turn
of mind, swallowed small whistle
few days ago, after seeing a calliope
that travelling circus brought here.
He said he could become a whistler
of note If he had lungs as strong as
the steam chest of the calliope, and
so. when he obtained the whistle,
which was made of tin. he promptly
swallowed it.
Much to his satisfaction the whistle
became fixed crosswlse In his throat,
and now the youngster can make mu-
sic that can be heard half mile away.
He is gradually learning to play tunes
on the whistle, and his practice, in
which he insists In indulging at night,
is keeping his father and mother and
all the neighbors wide awake
The boy is In no danger" says a
surgeon who has examined him. land
possibly he will soon be able to draw
big salary from museum as the
only living calliope. AS he has an ear
for music, there is no reason why he
should not play tunes on the whistle
by breathing in the proper manner"
