If laughter makes fat. there will be a
large gain in avoirdupois among the mem
bers of the audience that last night wit
messed the weeks vaudeville In the out
door theater at Luna Park
They laughed at some of the stunts OF
Leslie Thurston. who gently tossed har-
mony out of a xylophone. And didn't
they laugh when Billy COPYRIGHT. the
silly suffering kid" suffered some sim
pie sayings such as sounded surprising
and seemed witty? There were gurgles
of laughter when Bonnie Franklin. the
Swiss yodler, produced his cute little
youngsters of the Hook-of-Holland type
but designated on the program as Tod
dies and Pussy. Each did some good
singing. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Evans con-
tinued the merriment by their work in a
skit called "Playmates." Vic Richards ir
his negro monologue, found the funny
bones of the members of the audience
soon after his appearance. and his de.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Well Known Virginia Mason Dies
While Despoudent.

George Frederick William krause, for
more than a quarter of a century the
caterer at Masonic Temple. Richmond, and
one of the most widely known Masons in
the state of Virginia, Respondent over his
para!ytic condition. which was greatly
aggravated by the intense heat. ended his
troubles with a pistol shot in the left tenn
pie at his Richmond home at O'Clock
yesterday morning.

Ban ON ALL FLAT WHEELS
LOCAL RAILWAY COMMISSION
WILL GO AFTER THEM.
Also Will Tackle overcrowding Of
Cars and Matter of Desti-
nation Signs.

The. Use of Nat wheels on local street
cars. the inadequate marking of the des-
tination of cars and the overcrowding of
cars on suburban lines were considered
by the District electric railway commits
yesterday afternoon.
The two members of the commission
present-Commissioner H. l.. West and
Thomas W. Smith-decided that some
regulations should be adopted TO cure the
three evils about which complaints have
been made. A regulation preventing the
use Of Nat wheels will be framed within
the next few days and the interstate cor-
merce commission asked to promulgate
IL as a District law.
That the destination and route OF cars
should be better shown by signs on cars
was also verdict of the commission. but
a definite regulation will not be drawn
up until information is obtained from
other cities and a further study made OF
local routes.
"Overcrowding" Hard to Handle.
The overcrowding Of street cars was
the subject of report made by He.
Eddy. the executive officer and secretary
of the commission. The law giving TO
power to regulate the street railways of
the District specifies that al the street
car companies shall supply and operate
sufficient number of cars" The COM
mission. it is declared. finds that ii will
be a hard matter to adopt regulation
preventing the overcrowding of cars. as
investigation has shown that one car will
be crowded and a car two minutes later
will be nearly empty. The commission
will take no action on this matter until
more data is obtained.
The schedules of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company. which that
company at first refused to give 10 the
District railway commission and later
promised to the interstate commerce COM
mission. have been received by the Dis
trict commission. They were sent to the
national body and by ii turned over to the
local commission.
Complains Of Flat Wheels"
The discussion of the use of fiat wheels
on some cars in the city was brought up
by a complaint sent TO the commission
by a passenger on the Brightwood ave-
nue. line His letter is as follows:
II deem it necessary to make formal
complaint Of car running on the Bright
wood line that has an elliptical wheel. or
wheel that has a fiat place, which was
probably ground SO that IL would not
hammer. The result Is sickening to the
passengers. l was rendered nearly sick
from ii after a days outing In the coun-
try. The car is No. 1870. and it is grossly
unfit for service and may easily injure
the internal organs of those riding on it.
The up-and-down shaking Is worse than
that of an electric shaking chair at a
sanitarium.''

SHELLS FOR WARSHIPS LOADED.
Tug Rocket Carries Load of Ammu-
milton to Norfolk.

The United States naval tug Rocket
arrived here yesterday from the Norfolk
navy yard and lay for several hours at
the wharf of the Firth Sterling steel plant
loading shells manufactured at the plant
for the big guns on warships.
The shells are loaded on cars at the store
room at the plant and were run out upon
the wharf to within few feet of where
the tug lies. Derricks on the Rocket
assisted in lowering the heavy shells into
the hull of the vessel.
Before dark she had several hundred
shells aboard and was on her way to Nor
folk The shells are big.
After arriving at the Norfolk navy yard
they will be loaded and made dangerous.
They will then be sent to the ammunition
rooms of the big ships of the navy for
which they were built.
Shipments of the shells from the steel
plant to the navy yard at Norfolk are
made once each month and sometimes
oftener.

Farnum, singing comedian. closed tn

New Lyceum.

'''The Brigadiers.'' one of the best bur-
lesque shows appearing here last season,
made its bow before large audience at
the second weeks offering at the New
Lyceum last night. The performance,
which is entitled, MIR. Wise From Broad
way contains some entertaining fea-
lures. but lacks new talent noticeable the
year previous. Mr.. Sheppard Camp ami
John Neff furnish the comedy throughout
the evening and came in for great
amount of applause. The former is well
known for his comedy work. The olio,
which contains some turns of clever va
rlety. includes Flemer and Miller in songs
and jokes; three Melvin Brothers in diff
hcult gymnastic stunts. and John Neff in
'brainstorm of comedy" The chorus,
which is well drilled and costumed, rem
dered some select singing throughout the
evening.
