NEED FOR AMbULhMNCCh6SS

In discussing the Terra Gotta wreck
Maj. Sylvester said that 1t emphasized the
need for more ambulances in this city, to
be under police control.
AS soon as I received word of the ac-
cident and learned that many were killed
and injured, knew that the city end must
be attended to as well as that at the wreck"
he explained. ITO care for the injured was
an important thing and I set at once to
getting all the available ambulances. Four
hospitals have their own wagons-Emer-
gency, Casualty, Garfield and Freedmen's.
In addition l secured one ambulance from
the board of charities.
Il had no ambulances under my own
control. I was compelled to ask somebody
else to supply the need and explain why I
wanted the help. All that took time.
Il believe there should be half a dozen
ambulances under police control, held in
readiness for such emergencies. 1 used
eight patrol wagons last evening as am
balances, sending them to the railroad sta
ton. They do not ride as easy as the am
balances and in case Of persons seriously
injured the use of an ambulance instead Of
a patrol wagon might make difference of
life and death.
I'm case of big fire. a large building
collapse, a railroad wreck or other con-
tingency, the ambulances would prove very
useful and, I believe, money spent in pur-
chasing such would be well expended"

singing of What's the Matter With Our

from the stage out over the house and
caught on the fly by an elderly and digni-

audience liked the football stunt and kept
the ball going back and forth from stage to

Violated Police REGULATIONS.

While carrying on mission" work last
night In his own way, Joseph Harrison
was arrested by Policeman Nussbaum of
the sixth precinct. When Judge Kimball
heard the evidence in the charge of break
ing glass on the street, which was filed
against Harrison, his honor ordered the
Emission worker" to pay SIS fine or to
spend fifteen days on the farm.
Harrison was working around the Penn
sylvana railroad station at 9th and B
streets last night trying to get recruits for
mission service. He talked earnestly
with one man and the latter showed a
whisky bottle he had with which to cele-
brate 1907.
'You mustn't carry that" declared Har-
risOn. He grasped the bottle filled with
the spirits" and broke it the street,
the contents of course flowing into the
gutter.

In of the bottle in the street was a viola
tion Of the police regulations and he took

FOG ON THE RIVER.
Several Minor Marine Accidents One
of the Results.


"Forty-eght more hours of this and
some of US steamboat men will be candi-
dates for admission into the brownstone
structure overlooking the river on the hill
behind Anacostia," was the way a steam
boat captain expressed himself yesterday
afternoon regarding the continued foggy
weather which has covered the river for
the past two days. The fog began to raise
Saturday night, and all day Sunday and
yesterday it was as thick as a spring fog.
The steamer Calvert of the Baltimore line
left here on time Sunday evening, but on
arriving at Alexandria tied up there and
did not resume her voyage until yesterday
morning The down-river steamers were
several hours late leaving Alexandria yes
terday, and there has been a general tie
up on the river in consequence of the thick
weather. The fog was responsible for sew
eral minor marine accidents, none of
which was serious, however. The tug d.
NJ. Key and the tug James o. Carter,
which were coming up the river Sunday
on the flats opposite Alexandria. Going
into the Eastern branch the tugs again got
off their course and went on the flats.
The tug Edith G.. Winship in coming
down from Georgetown yesterday in the
fog made the turn at the forks of the
Washington and Georgetown channels too
short and took up short on the point of
mud projecting from the lower end of the
Potomac flats
AS the little tug Powhatan, towing two
scows between which was suspended sec
ton of sewer piping, to be used at the out
let of the big sewer which is being con-
structed from this city, was on her way
from the Eastern branch to the point
where the pipe is to be laid, in the thick
fog she got too close TO the District side
of the river and went ashore on the flats.
The tide was comparatively low when she
struck, and at high water last night she
was able to work into deep water and car
red the barges and pipe to the sewer out
let.

Majestic Theater.

The Majestic opened this week with THE
Jolly Baron,' with Billy S. Clifford the
popular singing comedian and dancer, at
its head. The play is a melodrama mixed
with plenty of dancing and music and in
the last act Mr.. Clifford introduced some
of his former vaudeville specalties which
were received with much applause. 1t is
needless to say this favorite comedian was
the feature of the play, and as has always
been his custom, his feet were in motion
every moment he was on the stage. He was
assisted in several of his musical numbers
by the Green sisters whose singing and
dancing was particularly pleasing.
The Jolly Baron" belongs to that large
list of plays whose plots do not count for
much; however, it is jolly and rollicking as
the title implies, and was entertaining
throughout.

THE TIL EAT E R.
New National Theater.

1.-The Spring Chicken" a creation Of
music and frivolity from Paris, by way of
London, was presented by company of
which Richard earle is at the head Mr..
Carrie is also The man who Americanized
the piece. 1t retains traces of its French
origin, despite his efforts. Sometimes these
traces are calculated to raise doubts on
the score of propriety, but the rapidity Of
the action does not leave much time for ar
gument.
AS a specimen of it's kind, 1.-THE Spring
Chicken is as near perfection as anything
that has been seen here in q long time.
Not only are Mr.. Carries personal efforts
as stage entertainer acceptable, but his
company includes people who are all able
to contribute some distinctive touch of per-
sonality. There is a story to the play
which adapting has not sufficed to destroy;
one of those old-fashioned plots with faith
less but comic husbands as their heroes;
the kind that f1ourshed when Pink Do
minoS'' and Forbidden Fruit set the pace
in the domain of the theatrically risque.
1t has good rhymes and bright melodies;
and there is dancing continually. NO OPP
portunity is lost to introduce few steps
either graceful or grotesque, and the result
is exhilarating and pleasant. In the midst
Of all this terpsichorean swirl Miss Bessie
Mccoy stands the pre-eminent premiere.
Dancing with her is something more than
an accomplishment, 1t is an art. Victor
Morley has the part of a young dandy with
jaunty swagger and genius for. good
clothes. Miss Emma Janvler delivers a
series of monologues and sings a topical
song with good effect. She makes what
could be rather a forbidding type of femi-
ninity simply a humorous conceit-a good
natured satire on some Of her sex.
There are many other bits of characteri-
cation worthy of especial reference, but it
is presentation in which efficiency Is the
rule and not the exception. The scenery Is
~. abundant and beautiful, and the
lining rich and tasteful, yet what Is
most to the credit of the performance Is
the fact that the play and the players, the
music and the dancers, quite overshadoW
the superficial embellishments.
