OBJECT TO CROSSING
Proposed Railway Connection
With Warehouse Opposed.
CITIZENS PRESENT VIEWS
Claimed That Legislation Would Be
an Undesirable Precedent.
POSITION SHARPLY ATTACKED
Ex-Gov. Swanson Speaks in Behalf
of the Tracks Provided in Pend
%. ing House Bill.


Ex-Gov Claude Swanson of Virginia
Jumped all over the sentiment ex-
pressed by representatives of four citi-
zsns' association, as we'll as other in
situations. at hearing in the District
building today. when the Commission
ers were urged strongly not to make
q favorable report on a bill to permit
an overhead crossing from the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad to ware
house on the square bounded by LIST
street, North Capitol. j. and NJ streets
northeast. Ex-Gov. Swanson spoke for
the interests back of the warehouse
and the proposed overhead crossing.
Washington he said, lis the only
city in all the United States that 1 know
a., ing about where business enter
p. is not invited with open arms to
GENE and settle down in the busiest
noishbor. .ood. Washington is the only
place l know of where the residents of
a section tell business enterprise, Here,
YOU can't settle on my block; go down
the street and buy some property there
House Bill Attacked.
-Four citizens associations, members of
the board of trustees of Sibley Memorial
Hospital, officers of the National Train
ing School for -.urses and several at
torneys for private interests combined to
make an attack before the Commission
ers on the bill now before the House OF
Representatives which would permit this
overhead connection from the railway
tracks to The warehouse. William Nick.
Clayton was attorney for the organiza-
Ions opposing the bill.
Mr.. Clayton's first argument was that
II this overhead construction is allowed
1t will stand as a precedent. and that
flock of similar bills providing for
all SORTS of overhead railroad crossings
will fly from their nests, and the Com
missioners would have nothing to do
but to stand by their precedent and
railroads elevated tracks.
He also said the bill as it stands
makes no limit as to the number of
tracks that could run intothe square.
and that it would be perfectly legal
under the bill. il enacted. to make a
general freight yard of the block, grid
ircned totally with rails.
Once get a single track into that
block anu it will be but session or
pushed farther and farther in until
you have the freight yards in the very
northwest of the city"
He said there is no public dema nd for
the use of storage warehouse in that
section. He also recommended the use
of square IT,. directly west Of the square
under discussion. On this second square
there are already coal dumps, he said
The bill as 1t stands now, said Mr..
Clayton. will further a private inter-
est at the expense of the city's health,
beauty and safety" He quoted the adj
verse report Of the Commissioners in
1907 on q somewhat similar piece Of leg
islation.

Ex-Gov. Swanson's Plea.

Ex-Gov. Swanson. after paying his
compliments to Washington's cordial re-
ception of the business interest for which
he spoke, turned to the ladies of Sibley
Memorial Hospital and told them he be-
1ieved that il the overhead connection is
not established the hospital will be more
hurt by the noise Of innumerable drays
at all hours Of the day and night than
by the one train of eight or ten cars
which the warehouse would receive daily
If there Is no demand for q ware
house at this point" he said. then there
will be no noise from q train, for there
1 will be no traffic. II there is q demand,
then would 1t not be better to have a
train Of cars running there once a day
than to have the clatter and shouting at
tendant on hundreds Of trucks all day
and night?
And furthermore said the speaker
turning to the gentlemen who had
spoken on the ugliness of the proposed
overhead construction, IF you think
: this 10 going to mar the beauty OF
your city we will ihclose it all In q
beautiful arch. shut in on all sides
We will decorate the arch and make II
thing sweet to look upon. and dedi-
to the esthetic tastes of these gentlemen
who object
He also declared that there are no
railroad interests behind the bill. and
that the warehouse people are willing
To do anything to make the overhead
construction as little of q bother ar
POSSIBLE.

Opposition Of the Hospital.

DR.. W. II. Wiler, superintendent Of the
Sibley Memorial Hospital located one
block west OF the proposed freight con-
nection, presented q letter from Bishop
Earl Cranston which contained a brief
protest against the overhead tracks. DIR.
Wiler also drew b comparison between
the humanitarian work of the hospital
and of the sister Institution, the Train
ing School for Nurses, and argued that
the utilitarian railroad crossing was in no
way as valuable to humanity as the work
Of the hospital.
Mrs. j. p. Dolliver. connected with the
training school. assured the Commission
ers that the work of the training school
would be hampered seriously by the rail-
rosd crossing. Mrs. James E. Gilbert, a
national officer OF the Woman's Home
Missionary Society and interested in the
hospital, took the same view.

railroad"

etruction were T. Cushing Daniel. r. ID.

RYAN THINKS THE
SITUATION BETTER

NEW YORK CITY. April 20.-John
ID. Ryan. president of the Amalga-
mated Copper company. has given
out a comparison of figures on the
copper metal situat on, indicating that
the outlook for copper is much bet
ter than appears on the surface. In
fact, Mr. Ryan expresses himself as
being optimistic, and even hints that
We may hear talk of copper fam
inc" before the end OF the year He
had this TO say OF the statistical po-
sition of the metal:
There has been so much unfavor-
able comment regarding the metal
situation since the publication OF the
March figures OF the Copper Produc-
ers' assoc alton. and it is evident that
there is such a misunderstanding OF
the true state of the copper trade.
that a comparison OF the figures for
the first quarter of 1909 with those
Of the last quarter Of this year will
help TO clear the matter. The figures
are given in even million pounds.
The American production in the
first quarter of 1909 was 333, 600, coo
pounds; in the same period of 1910.
5z9. 100000 pounds. The deliveries OF
the first quarter OF 1909 were 27s.-
600 O0o pounds. and in 1910. S67 ,O00,-
600 pounds. showing an Increase in
deliveries for the quarter Of $4,000
600 pounds. In the first quarter OF
1910 not only was the increased pro
duction taken care OF. but stocks
were actually reduced $4,000. 600
pounds.
The domestic deliveries. which
were 144.0O0.00O pounds In the first
quarter Of 1909. increased to 207,
100000 pounds in the first quarter o.
this year and the foreign deliveries

DAWSON COMPANY
IN BANKRUPTCY

The Dawson Mining company.
1hich for some time has been at
work on property in the Tabatacochi
district. was last week thrown into

The bankruptcy proceedings were
Instituted By Judge Richardson, OF
this city. as. attorney for the First
National bank here. and creditors OF
the company in Fl Paso. Attachment
proceedings had been instituted BY
other creditors and Judge Richard
son procured the bankrupt order as
means OF giving all creditors equal
protection. Il was learned this morn
ing that the Dawson company was
INDEBTED 10 the Moctezuma Copper
company In the sum OF about $4,000.
Mexican money. but that this was to
be paid in full. regardless of the re
suit of the bankruptcy proceedings.
Judge Richardson returned yester-
day from Moctezuma, where he had
been for ten days. He said to an
International reporter that there was
considerable encouragement at Moe
tezuman and Cumpas because Of the
present uncertainty Of the railroad
situation. So long as the work was
continued in the canyon below Naco-
zari there was hope that the South

least. before the end Of the present
