Capital city on number of trains. Large
parties left over the various railroads last
night for the City of Brotherly Love so
as to be first on the scene, and conse-
quently sure of getting good positions
from which to view the annual gridiron
battle between the future soldiers and
sailors. The main special which left over
the Pennsylvania railroad at $40 o'clock
was made up of three sections containing
nineteen coaches. Every car was filled.
The first section was made UP of six
parlor cars and the Pullman observation
car Sunset Acting Secretary Newberry
of the Navy Department and Mrs. New
berry had number of guests in this sec
ton, including Miss Ethel Roosevelt. who
arrived at the station several moments
before the start.

" following the two other sections.
The civilians who went in the different
coaches, and who made up great part
of the special train over the Baltimore

army and navy crowds.

TANNERS TALKED HIDES.
Animated Discussion Before Con-
pressional Committee Today.

Some tanners, very much in earnest
urged before the ways and means commit
tee today that hides be put on the Tree
list. Elisha Cobb of Boston made the
suggestion. which was met with so muoe
applause from the tanners and spectators
in sympathy with them, that Chairman
PAYNE had a lot of trouble in restoring
order.
Fred Vogel, jr.. of Milwaukee, Wis, de-
clared that the tariff of II per cent on
cattle hides did not protect stock
raisars and added that the domestic con-
sumption of hides and skins was made
ouate and was not increased or stimu-
lated by the tariff.
When David P Leas. a Philadelphia
manu-. acturer of leather, stated that the
Chicago packers had A monopoly on
hides TO which every man, woman and
child paid tribute. Representative Boute)l
sugges ted that the way to break up that
monopoly was to put not only hides but
shoes on the free list
IF necessary, we tanners are willing
to have shoes on the free list" admitted
Mr. Leas.
Drop ont that qualification and we will
be getting together" interrupted Repre-
sentative Champ Clark.

Inspector Makes Charge
Against Two SuperiorS

Willard S. Isham, called later as a wit
ness. declared that Mr.. Ashford was
aware that the Inflated building was in
course of construction. Mr. Isham was
on the witness stand for an hour. and
made charges against Mr.. Ashford and
Mr.. Somerville.
Mr. lsham asserted that he was dis
charged because of his Overzealousness
in calling attention to what he cOnsid-
cred unsafe lot of material. That he
had authority over the steel con-
StructiOn made no difference to him. he
said. because he considered the die
tateS of his conscience a higher duty
than lnid down by the routine OF his
daily work.
The witness asserted that Mr.. SOmeN-
Vile had csked him to COX" material
that was no better than paper. Mr..
SOmcrville, he said. had placed certain
other members denOting sufficient
strength. According to him, SOmer-
vile asked Isham to 20 out and "O.k.''
the steel. and when he actually made
the inspection he found such weakness
that he refused to go record as
saBctioning the material. He placed red
chalk marks OH the pieces he consider
ed unfit. He declared that some of the
iron was about as capable Of standing
on ENG IN a rope.
Submitted a Report.
Did you report that?" he was asked.
Il did. Both to Mr.. Somerville and in
my written reports
Mr.. Donaldson sought to bring out the
fact that lsham was prejudiced. lsham S
eyes flashed as he replied:
Am l prejudiced? Well, when Ash
ford said
But you are prejudiced?'
"Let me answer In my own way. 1t
prejudiced me against SOmerville when
he came to me and said, Wen have to
stand together this job and it
pretudiced me against Ashford when
he said he did not know the work had
been going on"
Sandwiching the Trusses.
Isham further said he had advised that
If the trusses he considered weak were
to be used that they be sandwiched in
between stronger material. so that the
strain would be equally divided.
He further explained that ne felt him
SET to be persona non grata in Mr.. Som
erville's eyes because he had forced his
he had heard of verbal permits being
given.
Mr. Isham's testimony as to the steel
was that it was very bad-so bad that
although he had no authority in the mat
ter of steels construction on that build
ing. he interested himself sufficiently to
make suggestions to the workmen and
the foreman, and also to the department.
The witness was questioned closely as

that Mr.. Somervile had said to him that

Navy Favorites at to 3.
OF course. there was no end of specu-
latfor. this morning on the outcome of
the game. 1t was so eager that one might
have "been justified in suspecting that
somebody in the Quaker city wanted TO
lay bet on the game. If so. he had
plenty OF opportunity, for he had only
to apply at the quarters arranged for
the convenience of visiting strangers who
had money to wager. These places, pri-
marily the desks of the Walton. Navy S
headquarters, and the Be,levue-Stratford
where the Army people gathered. showed
that the Navy was the favorite in the
betting. and that the odds on the young
tars were to 3 or to l, according to
the temper of the Army hackers. Al
these prices some plump rolls were pu
up by citizen bettors one of $1,000 and
several of $500 going down into the safes
of the Stockholders
Between army and navy men, how.
ever, no odds were given or asked, for. AS
the custom is. these bettors ask nothing
better than even money Of each other
There was lots OF this, too. albeit that
men in the governments employ don't re-
ceive princely salaries, for every officer
who plans to come to the game gets to-
gether every cent he can for months in
advance and then proceeds to back his
academy to the limit. Also. according
to custom. the cadets and middies have
formed pool each academy betting
900 at even money, but the navy has
the call on the army. In that 1t gathered
another wad of $500 and split it be-
tween New York. Phila delphia and Wash
inSton TO be bet at the prevailing odds in
these centers. The cadets at West Point
also put up some coin on this plan, but
their bets were not gathered in pool ir
this way. and in some cases they Sc
cured better odds than did the middies
The army had lots of confidence in It's
team however. and was only too pleased
to get a price on the chance of turning
few shekels more than it had put away
