CROWDS ON THE RIVER.
Many Persons Take Excursions
Escape the Heat.

The warm weather Of yesterday caused
many residents of this city to seek the
Potomac in search of cooling breezes,
and from early morning until late last
night crowds filled Potomac Park.
All the excursion boats carried large
throngs. The steamer St. Johns. which
left here yesterday morning for Colonial
Beach. had one of the largest crowds of
the season aboard. The steamer Charles
Manchester. running to Marshall Hall, had
her complement on both the afternoon
and evening trips. The River Queen car
ried large crowds to Washington Park
all day and many sought cool spots down
the river in small boats.
1t is estimated that fully 1000 persons
from this city made trips on the water
yesterday. Many Of those who went
down the river aboard power launches
spent the night on the water where the
breeze from the south could be enjoyed
to its fullest. and returned home early
this morning.

WAGES AT NAVY YARD
MACHINISTS' COMMITTEE TO
CALL ON SECRETARY.
The Scale Is Claimed to Be Below
Schedule Called for Under
Existing Law.

Members of Columbia Lodge, No. ia,
International Association Of Machinists,
have delegated a committee. of which
J. w. Mcconnell is chairman, to wait
on the Secretary of the Navy, to in
crease the wages of mechanics employed
at the Washington navy yard. The law
governing the schedule of wages Of the
four classes Of machinists employed at
navy yards provides that the wage board
in adjusting the scale of wages from
year to year must base the wage scale
of each of the yards in accordance with
the wages paid for similar service in
cities, towns and industrial centers in
proximity to the yard in question.
The present scale of wages for ma
First class. 1916: second class, 1882;
third class, $3.2S; fourth class, $3.04
Want Forty-Cent Raise.
1t is contended that a raise of forty
cents in each class should be made, to
meet the scale of wages paid for similar
work in private establishments in this
vicinity.
The claim is made by the members OF
Columbia Lodge that the wage board, in
studying scales on which to base the
wages for the local yard, took Philadel-
phia, Harrisburg, Alexandria and Balti-
more as basis, which. it is alleged, was
unfair to the Washington men, as the
cost of living at those points is not so
high as in Washington. The wage board
recommended that no increase in the
wages be made. The entire fund in the
treasury of Columbia Lodge has been
placed at the disposal of the Mcconnell
committee in bringing the desires of the
lodge to the favorable consideration of
the naval authorities.

To the Editor of The Sta

| notice in Sundays issue that the
Commissioners of the District have signed
an order authorizing the poundmaster to
sell to the bureau of animal industry live
dogs at not less than 80 cents each for
use in research work. In common with
many OF our people who love dogs l
wish to protest against this cruel use of
the defenseIess dog. which, with the
horse, is mans best friend. The grace
of mercy is an essential element of char
acter. We try to insti!l it into our chill
dren. We teach them the law Of kind
ness to animals in the home and in the
school. Should the heads of our govern
ment nullify our teachings by passing a
law which delivers the weak into the
hands of the strong to be tortured for
days, weeks and perhaps months?

master to the bureau Of animal industry.

Disappeared From Baltimore.

Miss Small has been living at the home
of her sister in Baltimore, and recently
she went to Trappe to visit her parents.
Wednesday morning she left Trappe,
boarding the Baltimore steamer to return
to the home of her sister, but failed to
reach there. Her father and sister feel
confident that she reached Baltimore and
that she disappeared from that city.
Accompanying Mr.. Small yesterday was
a young man who is said to be engaged
to Miss Small. He was deeply interested
in the search that the father had insti-
tuted and was taking an active part in
it.
The young woman is described as being
brunette. When she left Trappe last
Wednesday morning she wore an old-rose
dress, d dark straw hat, trimmed with
blue feathers, and black slippers.
Miss Small weighs about I'D ppounds
and has birthmark under her chin
When she failed to appear at the house
of her sister last Wednesday her father
was notified. He left home as soon as
he learned of her disappearance and has
been engaged in the search ever since.

BODY FOUND IN AN OIL TANK.

Station Agent Frank McGinnis went
to Denver Tuesday to view the re-
mains of his son, Godfrey, who was
found dead in an oil tank car at
Trinidad Monday; also to make ar
rangements for the shipment of the
body to Yates Center, Kansas, for
burial
Mr.. McGinnis returned Tuesday
evening and said he could learn
nothing definite as to how the body
got into the tank; whether the boy
was murdered and the body placed
in the tank to cover the crime, or
was given knockout drops and then
placed in the tank, and being over
come by the noxious fumes arising
from the oil sediment in the bottom,
died. The last heard from the boy
was in Pueblo, where he had been
working.
The body of McGinnis was discov-
cred by the head brakeman of a
southbound freight train between
Trinidad and BareIa. The brakeman
noticed that the covering had been
removed from the funnel in the top
of the tank and peered into the car
to investigate. He was Mortified to
discover the body of a man lying face
upward at the bottom.
The head brakeman notified the
conductor and the car was taken out
of the train at Barela and sent back
to Trinidad. Coroner Sipe was mott
fled and this morning caused the
body to be removed.
The remains were identified by
means of papers and memorandum
book found in the pocket of the coat.
McGinnis wore good business suit,
and small amount of change was
found in one of the pockets of his
trousers.
Godfrey McGinnis was "a years of
age. He was of a rowing disposition
and would not remain at a place for
any length of time. Six years ago he
lived with his father in Central and
was messenger at the depot He was
not satisfied with the town and left.
Friends of the father of the dead boy
express sorrow over the sad occur
renee.
