Editor The Washington Herald:
An article appearing in the newspapers
last Saturday contained the following
statement:
The first prosecution IN the District OF
Columbia for alleged gambling or lottery
schemes used for the purpose OF raising
funds FOR charitable purposes took place
before Judge Mullowny in the Police
Court to-day upon the arraignmeht Of
Phinney L. Craft. connected with Co
lumbia Typographical Unions carnival
show on the site Of the old Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad passenger station The
funds Of the carnival are 10 be applied
to the typographical unions tuberculosis
fund"
The statement that Columbia Typo
graphical Union is in any manner con-
nected with the show. or that the funds
Of the carnival are 10 be applied 20 the
Typographical Unions tuberculosis fund,
is entirely unfounded. for the reason that
Columbia Union is not connected with the
show in any way.
Just before the show. which is an out
of-t0wn concern. arrived in Washington.
verbal negotiations were opened with the
president OF the union Mr. F. A Kidd,
requesting the privilege Of using the name
Of Columbia Typographical Union in con-
sideration OF a certain percentage Of the
receipts being paid 10 the union.
When the matter was laid before the
union by the president It was referred to
the officers, with power to act. the IN

be responsible for the payment Of the
license tax only.
Word was sent to the representative OF
the show. a Mr.. Craft. that II he had any
proposition to submit to put It in writing.
and the officers would take the same I'M
der consideration.
on Saturday. April %. a typewriter
contract was presented TO a meeting OF
the officers. at which Frank A. Kidd.
president; Joseph c. STEELE. vice presi-
dent; George G. Seibold, secretary. and
James Z. Bright, treasurer, were present,
stipulatlng the terms under which an
arrangement would be entered into with
the union. and by a unanimous vote the
same was rejected.
Any statement connecting the name OF
Columbia Typographical Union with said
street show is, therefore, entirely I'M
founded.
If, as has been stated, this show IS
operating under a license held in the
name OF Columbia Typographical Union
such license was issued without proper
authority from Columbia Typographical
Union and the same is bareb,- rop,5io.

Oridin of Coal.

Coal is of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
water it undergoes a slow process Of
decomposition, giving off its nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen and some carbon,
the result of which if carried far
enough is the formation of mass Of
carbon. Peat, found often in swampy
tracts, is the first stage in the coal
forming process, and the further
stages are formed by the burial Of
these vegetable deposits under great
loads of sediment, where they become
subject to pressure and sometimes to
heat This effects q series of changes,
consolidation and loss Of oxygen and
gives a series Of products whose ma
ture depends on the degree to which
the original vegetable matter has been
changed The products are known as
ignite, bituminous coal and anthracite
coal.

Three new street washing machines
which "squeegee" the asphalt were
tried out last night on Pennsylvania
avenue.
Shortly after they started in to wash
the asphalt Harry Cornell, a cripple.
slipped with his crutches on the
street surface and broke his leg.
He was taken to the Casualty Hospital.
Cornell was attempting to cross the
street between Az and 9Th streets
when he fell. He lives at 9Th street
and Louisiana avenue.
The street washing machines were
bought by the District, at the urgent
request of Commissioners Rudolph and
Judson.
Commissioner Judson made a trim to
several cities recently on the lookout
for improvements in methods of
municipal housekeeping. One of the
things he noticed was the improved
methods OF street cleaning in some of
the western cities.
When he returned to Washington he
set about getting three street washers
as quickly as possible. The three
machines cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000.
They will be worked in trio at all
times, and will wash an asphalt street
as clean as a newly laid floor. A large
water tank is carried well forward on the
machine. The water runs down over a
heavy rubber roller which "squeegees"
against the asphalt.

Aero Scientific Club to Be Re-
sponsibIe for Event in
October.

An aviation meet for amateurs will be
held at College Park in October under
the auspices of the Washington Aero
Scientific Club.
The situation. SO far as a local compe-
tition this fall is concerned, cleared last
night when the National Aviation Com
pany, represented by j. Lynn Yeagle and
Capt. Charles ]. Fox, decided that 1t
would be inadvisable to undertake to pro-
mote a meet without the sanction of the
Aero Club Of Washington and the Aero
Club of America. This leaves the field
to the Aero Scientific Club. which pro-
poses to go ahead with its original plans
for a meet next month.
Dozen Entries Already.
The officers of the Aero Scientific Club
say that already they have dozen
entries for the events and that they
expect a number of amateurs from other
cities to take part. They have made all
the arrangements for the field at Col
lege Park, for the Enclosure of the field
and for the grandstand.
1t appears likely that the amateurs
meet will receive the Endorsement of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce. since
it is not scheduled to take place at the
time Of the Baltimore meet at Halethorpe
and since it is not proposed to bring
professionals here, whereas the principal
drawing cards at the Baltimore meet will
be the professional aviators.
All Hope for Success.
The amateurs have the best wishes Of
all who are interested in aviation in this
city for the success of their meet The
Aero Club of Washington. while wishing
them success. finds it impossible to take
any part in the conduct of the meet, ow-
ing to the fact that the Aero Scientific
Club is affiliated with the Aeronautical
Federation of America, while the other
local club is a member Of the Aero Club
of America.

RAILROAD CLERKS STRIKE.
Queen and Crescent System Declines
to Raise Wages.

NEW ORLEANS, La. September "a
Between 400 and 800 freight clerks Of the
New Orleans and Northeastern and the
Vicksburg. Shreveport and Pacific rail-
roads, walked out today. when these lines,
forming part of the Queen and Crescent
system, refused to meet their demands
for an increase in pay.
The clerks want increase in salaries
ranging from 13 to Is per cent.
Two freight warehouses in New Or
leans had to be closed down today on
account of the strike. Reports received
from Shreveport, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg
and other points on these lines are to
the effect that some Of the clerks have
refused to walk out.
