APPLIES FOR PERMIT.
Railway Company Wants to Con-

Application has been made to the Com
miss1oners by the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington railroad for permission
10 erect platforms along its tracks at the
intersection of Virginia and Maryland
avenues and between 7th and 9th streets
southwest. These platforms will be eight
feet wide and 300 feet long. and will be
placed on both sides of the tracks.

Inc Commissioners have not vet an

railroad terminal company.
1t is looked upon as inconven,e,+ IN
the large numbers of commuters from
alexandria and other suburbs in VII

Union station. 1t is the intention of the
OF 18th street for the convenience Of these
patrons, but 1t will not be comp eted for

MEET ON A VIADUCT
SUBWAY TRAINS CRASH IN UP
PER MANHATTAN.

NE WORK, November "a rear-end
collision Of two subway trains in the
Bronx today caused the death of Joseph
Meyer, a motorman, and is believed to
have injured several passengers. The col
lision took place at 176th street and Bos-
ton road, where the tracks are run over
head instead Of underground. One car
was left hanging over the edge OF the
track.
A train was stalled near the 174th
street station, and the train behind ran
into it, the forward car Of the rear train
mounting the rear car of the forward
train. The motorman was crushed to
death in his compartment and pinioned
so that his body could not be removed. A
fire started, but was quickly extinguished
by the fire department. There were about
two hundred passengers in each train.
One of the first to be removed was a
woman.

JOHN FRANCIS LECGE DEAD
B. AND o. TERMINAL AGENTSAT
UNION STATION.
Demise Stated to Be Due to Heart
Trouble and Complication
Of Diseases.

John Francis Legge, terminal agent Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the
new Union station, after an illness ex-
tending over one year, died last evening
shortly after 10 o'clock at the family resi-
dence. II street northeast Although
Mr.. Lesge had seemingly been lingering

Death was caused by heart trouble,
brought on by a complication of diseases
from which the deceased had suffered for
several years. Mr.. Legge was sixty years

cHA1RMEN OF COMMITTEES.
Only Two Really Selected by
Speaker Cannon.

Speaker Cannon hasn't been pestered
much as yet by incoming members who
want this or that committee place. and
are not backward about asking. The
Speaker is truly grateful for this consid-
Grafton, which is in the nature of a lull
before the storm. but expects to be be-
sieged all of next week.
Locally the District committee chair
manship vacancy is the most interesting
proposition in the list. 1t is practically
certain that Representative Samuel w.
Smith OF Michigan, the senior republican
on the committee as 1t was constituted
last session, will get the plum.
Mr.. Smith has the reputation of being
as straight as string, and is, as is we'll
known in this city, deeply interested in
each and everything connected with the
present welfare and the future being of
the District Of Columbia. His selection, it
is believed, will meet with universal
favor.
Although Represent alive Burton of Ohio
has repeatedly announced that he would
act as free lance during the sessions of
the sfxtieth Congress, and under no cir
cumstances would again serve as chair
man Of the House rivers and harbors
that this Is exactly what Mr.. Burton will
40. A little coaxins is expected to turn
the trick and bring the intellectual Ohio
ian into the proper frame of mind.
mr.. buFtOnS position In this matter
has been somewhat embarrassing, and
1t Is realized that it was up to him
to make some sort of a negative state
ment. SO far as the rivers and harbors
committee craftsmanship was concerned.
Last session, during the preparation of
the river and harbor bill, Mr., Burton
turned q cold shoulder and a deaf ear
to the opportunities of the deep water
way folks-those from Philadelphia as
well as from out the Mississippi way.
Then the President appointed him at
the head of the deep waterway COM
mission, in which capacity, it is under
stood that Mr.. Burton will be the
Trainer and principal signer of a minority
report opposing the deep water project
This fact, and the denunciation OF his
attitude by the legislatures of several
states would have made. it is pointed out,
even his passive candidacy for the chair
manship of the river and harbor commit
tee matter OF questionable taste.
The truth is Mr.. Burton is too valuable
a man as chairman of the river and har-
Dor committee to be permitted either to
free lance or to serve on any other COM
mittee. He brought order out of chaos
50 far as river and harbor work is con-
cerned, and the chances are excellent that
he will serve in his old capacity during
the coming session.
Speaker Cannon has not taken up the
question of filing committee places as
yet. but he win buckle down to work next
week and the list will be announced some
time before the holidays.

WANT TO SAVE SANTA CLAUS.
Bitter Fight Over New York School
Boards Order.

NEW YORK. November 25.-Scores of
clergymen In New York are up in arms
against the order Of the board of educa-
ton providing that the words Christ and
Christian must not appear in the hymns
and songs sung in the public schools and
that there must be no Christmas celebra-
ton of any kind.
The subject was discussed in many pull
pits yesterday and it is said that an
effort will be at once made to induce the
board to rescend its action in the matter.
If this is unsuccessful. it is possible that
the matter will be taken into the courts,
many claiming that the board has no
legal right to issue such an order.
