HIGHWAY BRIDGE CONTROL.
Col. Bromwell Now Given Charge
and District Commissioners Want It.


Acting Secretary oliver of the War De-
partMent has transferred Jurisdiction over
the Highway bridge and it's approaches
on both the Washington and the Virginia
sides of the Potomac river. including the
bridge over the Washington channel of
the river, from Maj. Cosby, engineer Of
ticer in charge of the improvement of the
Potomac river, to Col. Bromwell. engineer
officer in charge of public buildings and
grounds.
This action was taken on the recon-
mendation of Maj. Cosby, Endorsed by
Gen. Marshall, chief Of engineers.
Maj. Cosby reports that all work in
connection with the construction of the
bridge and it's approaches has been COM
pleted and that existing work consists of
maintenance and operation, under the an
nual appropriations made by Congress.
The Washington approach TO the
bridge. he states. runs for q distance Of
5000 feet through a section of Potomac
Park. already in charge of the office of
public buildings and grounds. and he ex-
pressed his belief that it could be kept in
better condition and be better policed If
the regular force of that Office were avail
able for the service. The transfer, Mai
Cosby said, would obviate the disad-
vantages Of the divided responsibility
WHICH results from tndl portion or the
park being under two separate Offices
Maj. Cosby said further that 1t is the
intention OF his Office, as soon as the
work of dredging the Virginia channel
and the tidal reservoir is completed, with
in the next few weeks. to recommend
the transfer of practically the whole of
Potomac Park west of the Pennsylvania
railroad bridge efnbankment to the ONCE
of public buildings and grounds
1t is understood that an effort will be
made at the next session of Congress to
have the Highway bridge and approaches
transferred to the jurisdiction of the
commissioners of the District of Column
bia in order to put them under the police
jurisdiction of the. District authorities

''Boil until TENDER is what all the
cook books say.
Boiling makes most anything tender
even hard wood.
And that's precisely what boiling does
to your clothes.
Makes the fibre tender. Y Then you
wonder why your clothes tear so easily and
wear into holes so soon.
How else will you get your clothes
clean?
Fels-Naptha dissolves and loosens the
dirt in cool or lukewarm water, without
hard rubbing.
No hot water, no boiling, in summer
OF winter.
It's such an easy way Of washing;
makes the clothes cleaner, whittier and purer
and they wear twice as long.
Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha
and follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

Music and Kept in Motion.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September g.
Danced himself to death" will probably
be the verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of Albert Hutton. aged twenty five, a
fine looking mulatto. who was found dead
in his bed yesterday.
Hulton was attracted to the street by
the tune OF a hurdy gurdy. Throwing the
operator a quarter of a dollar. he told
him to repeat the tune as often as the
coin would pay. Then Hutton began
dancing, executing two-steps, waltz, jig
and buck and wing steps as the move
ment changed.
A crowd gathered. When the music
the first coin paid for ceased. another was
passed up. The dancing continued until
the police interfered.
Hutton retired to his room. The doctor
called when he was found dead said death
was due to heart disease, due to over
eXertion.

THAT STATION SITE AGAIN
VIRGINIA COMMUTERS OPPOSE
COMMISSIONERS MORROW.
Want It Located Between ~ and
7th Streets-War Department
Resumes Jurisdiction.

In letter to the Commissioners today
upon the question of the location OF
railway substation in the southwest sec
ton of the city John w. Echols. mayor of
Vienna, Va, declared that 1t is almost
the unanimous desire of the Virginia COM
muters to have the station located On the
site between 7th and Az streets. which
location is favored by Commissioners
Macfarland and West, although bitterly
opposed by Commissioner Morrow. The
latter favors the site at 14th and Water
streets.
Mayor Echols wrote that he has inter-
viewed large number of persons who
visit Washington daily, using the steam
railway, and that he has yet to find some
one who prefers the site favored by Com
missioner Morrow. He suggested that If
sons entering the city daily from the
south they will be assured of the senti-
ment in favor Of the 9TH street site.
Gen. Marshall, chief of engineers of the
army, has reassumed Jurisdiction over
public reservation No. 113, between Mary
land and Virginia avenues and It'll and
9th streets southwest. In 1904 that reser-
walton was transferred to the District
Commissioners in order to facilitate the
execution of the acts of Congress provid-
ing for the elimination Of railroad grade
crossings in the District
improvements Completed.
The Commissioners recently reported to
the War Department the completion Of
the railroad Improvements on the reser-
walton and expressed their desire to- re-
store to the chief of engineers of the
army all that portion of the reservation
not needed by the railroad company.
In recommending the acceptance Of the
transfer from the District Commissioners
the officer in temporary charge Of public
buildings and grounds stated that 1.-The rail-
road company has a temporary station
platform on its own ground on Sth street
for the accommodation of it's local traffic
to and from the south.
THAT PLATFORM he continued, sis
reached from the north side Of c street
~ a path across the reservation on the
line of Sth street over the ground restored
to the Unfted States 1t is assumed that
the company desires to retain this tenn
porary path until It's station proposed for
14th and Water streets is erected"

He's Been Wandering.

The Dalai Lama Of Tibet, the head OF
the Buddhist faith, has been a wanderer
in southern China since he fled from
Tibet on it's invasion by British troops
under Col. Younghusband in 1909. For
the past three months or SO he has been
holding religious court at Wutai Shan,
in Shansi province and made such
nuisance of himself that the governor
begged Picking to relieve him or give
him permission to resort to drastic meas
ures to force the Lama either to return to
Tibet or go to Picking His retinus
numbers 900, and the cost of maintaining
it is said to be 5000 day. So he is
rather expensive guest. Besides, he in
sists upon being treated with the utmost
Difference and conducts his court with
great ponlp and ceremony.
People Bow to His Cows.
At his home in Lassa he was held in
such veneration that when the cows that
supplied him with milk passed along the
road the people would go down on their
knees to them, and he is offended when
the Chinese are not similarly impressed.
The cows are with him still. Neverthe-
less the Chinese government has to be
civil to him. as 1t can do nothing to
'reorganize the administration Of Tibet
without the Lama's cooperation and he
distrusts China because she was unable to
prevent the British invasion OF 1904.

 They attracted attention by going into various places and buying small articles and handing out $10 or SEQ bills for payment, thereby getting back change. This happened so frequently as to cause talk and they acted in a manner that aroused the suspicion of the City Marshal.
 They were searched whom arrested, but nothing in the way of money was found on them. What they had done with the change they obtained is un- known.
