HAND M'|A1YRE
HARD JOLT
COUNCIL ENDORSES KNIGHTS
PLANS WITHOUT HEARING
HIS REPLY TO NUMEROUS
ATTACKS BY CITY ENGINEER

Although the attempt to remove
City Engineer Mcintyre was head
ed off by the council last night, the
mayor not even sending up his
recommendation, the feeling to-
wards Mcintyre was evidenced by
the unanimous vote that the East
Olive st. bridge be built according
to plans in conformity with s. HI.
Knights recommendations Mcln-
tyres plans on the same work re
ceived merely the consideration of
criticism.
Councilman Pratt made the mo-
tion and Gray, democrat and for
mer staunch Mcintyre man, Sec
onded it. Mcintyre was sitting in
the council chamber at the time
and Immediately left with Allan F.
Gill, his champion and the man
whom republicans give the credit
for saving McIntyre's head. Yes
terday it was rumored that Coun-
Gilman Laumer would vote for Nc
Intyre's removal. Last night before
the council went into session Lau-
mer was the center of attraction.
Democratic councilmen first would
corner him; he would no more than
escape from them than he was held
by the Gills; then outsiders would
butt in. Finally the republicans de-
cided it was useless to attempt Nc
Intyre's removal at that time, SO
runner was sent to the mayors Of
Goa with fhaf in form, atinn
However, in the slap at McIn-
tyres Olive st. bridge plans the
councilmen are content for the
present, as thereby they saved a
long, technically worded battle be-
tween the engineers. The affront
to Mcintyre is a recognition Of the
councils confidence in Seymour H.
Knight, construction engineer on
the Washington st. concrete
bridge. The fight between McIn
tyre and Knight was brought about
through the latter's criticism of the
formers Olive st. plans when the
council referred them to him. Nc
1ntyre in numerous written COM
munications then called Knight an
incompetent and recommended his
discharge from the Washington st.
work. Knight, although he had
written reply to it, did not have
to offer it although prepared to do
SO last night when the council
virtually backed him up without
hearing him when it made the
Olive st. recommendation.

For some reason Maitland did

One morning when the prison
physician. Dr. A. Yohe, was making
his rounds, he noticed Maitland
talking to himself and idly playing
with bits of rock. He is said to
have reported that the boy was
"shamming."

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The watermelon season. though still
young, is at its height. Many thousand
fruit are brought to the wharf daily by
vessels from Chesapeake bay and Poto-
mac river points.
This morning it is estimated there were
over $1,000 melons on sale at the 18th
street wharf aboard fleet of twenty-five
or more vessels. This number was added
to almost hourly by arrival of vessels with
fresh cargoes.
The supply Of melons on sale at this
city was never better in quality or larger
in quantity than this year. AS a conse-
quence the market has never been high,
except during the first two or three days
of the season. when the fruit was scarce
and demand heavy.
The supply now Is more than equal to
the demand and prices are low. Fine choice
melons sell at $1s per hundred, while culls
which in ordinary years would have been
called fair fruit are selling as low as S,
per hundred. Retail dealers at the wharf
are selling big melons. just off ice and
ready for eating, at 25c EACH These mel
ons last year would have sold at 50 or 10
cents.
The big ice storage house of the Ameri-
can ice Company at the pier foot of 10th
street has been put in service. The steam
hoists yesterday were at work raising the
