PLAT SUBDIVISION
NEW METHOD PROPOSED BY
ASSESSOR RICHARDS.

What the Commissioners consider to be
novel and up-to-date procedure for han
ding plats Of subdivisions Of property Is
to be inaugurated by them within few
DAYS This will be done in the form of an
official order. The Commissioners are
satisfied 1t will be a great saving of time
both to the District government and pri-
vate individuals.
This new scheme was recommended oy
w. P. Richards. District surveyor. as
result of numerous objections made with
In the past year to waste of time In con-
nection with the handling Of subdivision
plats.
Mr. Richards scheme is as follows:
l. Applications for subdivisions shall be
made to the surveyor Of the District of
Columbia.
.. The surveyor shall then forward the
application to the assessor of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
vision to the surveyor, who shall forward
1t to the assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner in charge of surface division ;
provided that before doing so he shall
consult the superintendent OF sewers as
to the arrangement for sewers IN the
larger subdivisions.
4. The applications shall then be for
warded to the chief clerk Of the engineer
department for record and then forward
ed to the Commissioners for signature.
5. After approval by the Commissioners
the application shall be returned to the
surveyor for record by the secretary to
the boArd Of Commissioners and the sur
veyor. after recording the same, shall
send one copy to the assessor.
This method of procedure, which is a
simplification of the present method of
handling subdivisions. will be to the bene-
fit of the citizens and the office, said
Commissioner Morrow today.

FOOT CATCHES IN A FROG
FREIGHT CONDUCTOR RUN
DOWN BY A LOCOMOTIVE.
Taken Hu1fiedly to the Hospital,
But He Succumbs to Shock
and Hemorrhage.

Christopher C.. Benson. conductor of a
freight train. was run down by a train on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Hy-
attsville yesterday afternoon. and one leg
crushed from his foot to his hip He was
brought to the &hy and hurried to the
Casualty Hospital. but he had suffered
SO much from shock and hemorrhage
that the surgeons were unable to save
his life. He died about 5 O'Clock. Coro-
ner hewitt gave the necessary certificate
of death and the body was removed to
the morgue. Today it was taken to Bal
timore for burial.
The accident occurred at the junction of
the main line and Shepherd branch of the
railroad and resulted from the conductor
getting his foot caught in a frog and be-
ing unable to release ii before he was
struck by the engine drawing the train in
his charge.
Benson. who was forty-eight years of
age and lived In Baltimore. had been
employed on the road over twenty years.
His train reached Hyattsville about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and was pro-
ceeding slowly over the tracks in the di-
rectiOn of the junction. when he stepped
from the running board and went ahead
to open the switch. it being the purpose
Of the engineer to take the switch with
out stopping his engine. His foot was
caught In the frog and as he was a large
man. Weighing over 200 pounds, he was
unable to extricate it.
Standing there in front Of the heavy en-
CINE. Benson realized that nothing short
Of a miracle could save his life. The en-
CINE was not making fast speed, but 1t
could not be stopped in time. AS soon as
the engineer realized what had happened
he left hts engine and went to Benson's
assistance. DR.. Guy w. Latimer, who
was not far away from the scene Of the
accident, took charge of the injured man
and stopped the flow of blood. He then
had an express train stopped and directed
that the injured man be hurried to the
city.
DR.. c. B. Conklin of the Casualty Hos
pital met the train and removed Benson
to the hospital. Members of the crew
of his train and others called at the hos
pital last night. and members of the fam
ily came over from Baltimore to ascertain
the extent of his injuries.

NOISES ALL TO Be MUFFlED
SILENCE IMPOSSIBLE,
SAYS POLICE CHIEF.
Before-Breakfast Wood Chopper and
Other Sound Makers Must
Be Tolerated.

Maj. Sylvester superintendent of po-
lice. commenting on the cartoon In The
Evening Star Wednesday. entitled
Nocturnal Nuisance" said he realized
the suggestion might be followed with
good results.
1t is impossible, he declared. to pre-
vent all late-at-night and early-m morn
ing noises. He is satisfied his force will
be able to reduce the noises to a mini
mum and it will not be necessary to go
to the country to enjoy sleep.
Under the present laws" said the
police chief today. Il fear we will be
unable to reach the man who persists
in the habit of chopping wood about
daybreak. But we will be able to reach
Others"
An order was issued today to the cap
tains of several precincts to strengthen
their beats where trouble has been ex-
perienced by the police with residents
OF alleys. Under the new order. 1t is
said. there will be policemen on duty
a all times in some of the alleys where
loud and boisterous conduct and pro-
family have caused so much annoyance.
few arrests and vigorous prosecu-
tons. Maj. Sylvester thinks. will remedy
the evil. 1t will cause less noise. at
the noisy ones to move to other locai1-
ties. Such persons. he thinks, cannot
stand police surveillance.
1t is the idea of Maj Sylvester that
garbage collectors use whistles instead
of horns. The blowing of a whistle
would be sufficient notice to housekeep-
ers that the garbage man had appeared,
and the noise would not be SO nerve
racking as that made by the horn.
Today an order was issued by the
Commissioners that the drivers of
garbage teams shall make less noise
while closing the lids of their wagons.
1t Will be necessary for the drivers to
use rubber or other material in the
future that will deaden the sound of
the covering coming in contact with the
body of the wagon.
Maj. Sylvester has also concluded to
make another change in the work of
part of the force for the purpose of
lessening the noises and to give addi
tfonal protection during the late hours
of the night and early hours of the
morning. This will be accomplished by
changing the hours of duty of bicycle
policemen. Not only will 1t afford pro-
lection at unusual hours. but will also
come as a relief to the wheelmen, TAX
ing them off the streets part of the day
when the heat is intense.

CHILDREN AT SEASHORE.
Sons of Jonadab Give Outing to
700

About 700 children of this city were the
guests Of Pioneer Council. No. 1. Sons of
Jonadab today on an outing to Chesa-
peake Beach. The children went to the
beach on two trains which left the Dis
trict Line station at 9:25 and II o'clock.
This organization was the originator of
the idea of excursions for children of the
city, and for the past eight years it has
taken them to Chesapeake Beach and
spared no efforts to make the outings an
enjoyable affair. The children who are
the guests of the council are the ones
who, it has been decided, need it most.
Tickets were given to the police for dis
tribution. as it was thought they could
best decide who were the most needy and
deserving ones.
Everything in the amusement line was
provided. The principal amusement at
the resort for. the little guests Is the
bathing beach, and soon suits were
donned and the water was being thrown
right merrily. The council had provided
sandwiches. lemonade, ice cream and
cakes. John Hogan was chairman of the
committee of arrangements.
