| Joint committees OF the Washington
Aero Club. the Chamber of Commerce.
and the Board OF Trade met at noon yes
terday in the Offices OF the Aero Club In
the Union Trust Building to discuss the
different aviation plans that have been
submitted TO them during the last two
weeks
| The decision reached was to the effect
that they would lend moral support 10
Col. Joyce and his meet ar HaIethorp.
six miles outside Of Baltimore. but would
not assist him in a financial way
| II was voted 10 ask Col. Joyce to set
aside a day 10 be known as Washington
Day at the Halethorp meet and for the
people of Washington.
The proposition made before the Cham
Der of Commerce by. J. Lynn Yeagle and
Capt Charles J. Fox, of the National
Aviation Company, was Informally dis
cussed and these gentlemen were invited
10 lay their plans before a joint COM
mittee which viii meet tomorrow noon.
May Give Amateur Meet.
Should Col Joyce complete plans for
Baltimore meeting. it is probable that an
amateur meet and exhibition will be
given at College Park OF Benning some
time in November. Such a meeting would
in no wise conflict with the professional
contests IN Baltimore. although II is prob
able that one or more professionals might
be induced TO participate in the local
event.
Messrs. Yeagle and Fox announce their
willingness to cooperate with the Aero
Scientific Club or other bodies in giving
Neutrality-suspicious. a picture of aeronautical
progress There are a number OF local
machines which would prove Of interest
to the students OF aviation and to the
general spectators. Substantial prizes
would be offered. and the meet would in
augurate the national school OF aero
nautics. and permanent organization for
encouraging practical and theoretical
aeronautics at College Park.
The committee decided that 1t would
not take up the proposition submitted by
j. S Berger. the New York promoter. 10

Commissioner Rudolph announced def
nitely yesterday that Henry f. Brock
son, former guard and superintendent OF
the female ward at the Washington Asy-
ium. who recently made charges against
Superintendent zinkhan. will not be re-
instated in the. District service.
Superintendent Zinkhans reply 10 the
charges have not been made public. nor
would Commissioner Rudolph discuss any
OF them. except those alleging that rela-
tives OF the superintendent are employed
at the workhouse and hospital.
Brockson. who Is from Delaware. has
harped continually on his "Congres-
sional influence" and when asked TO re-
sign not long ago Senator Du Pont wrote
two letters TO the Commissioners, stating
that this was not the first time that
Brookson had not received a square
deal"
Alleges Daughter Interfered.
Among some OF the charges preferred
by Brockson is one alleging that Super
intendent Zinkhan's daughter interfered
with his duties as guard. and that mem
bers Of the superintendent family have
many of their clothes made at the work
house at the Districts expense
The charges form a long list but from
what can be learned, Superintendent
Zinkhan denies each OF them One OF
the most serious charges concerns the
death OF Betty Turner. on September Is.
1907 Brockson states that when ne tried
TO get the hospital physician over the
telephone. no one answered. When he
went 10 the Office he found the bell
stuffed with paper. The girl in the mean
time had died.
1t was stated yesterday that Broekson
has made himself a general nuisance
with the District officials in recent years.
and is in a habit Of preferring charges
against those higher up
Put Girl In Dungeon.
He lost his position some years ago for
cruelty furnishing a little workhouse girl.
by combining her in a dungeon From
his charges It Is evident he has kept a
note book and made notes from time
to time from the way they read. All
dates are specified.
II is said that Brockson IS relying on
his Congressional influence" by which
he hopes 10 regain his position. Commits
sioner Rudolph was emphatic yesterday
when he announced that Brockson would
not be reinstated.

NOLIMIT ON EGGS.
Dr. Wiley Regrets Present Condition
of Affairs.

AS long as some one can be found
10 buy them, replied Dr. Wiley yester-
day, when asked how long eggs could be
kept which are preserved in compliance
with the law.
The pure food expert said that he
greatly regretted such a condition OF af-
fairs. but as the law stood. nothing could
be done about it,
Eggs may be preserved. he said. in
benzoate of soda. sulphate Of copper,
alum, or sulphuric acid. but the depart
ment can do nothing unless the eggs are
decayed, or some deleterious preservative
is used
Canned eggs are used mainly in baker,
les. II is not thought that they are
served in cafes-fried, boiled, or scram-
bled-as they can be distinguished easily
from fresh eggs when put TO such a use.

The naval collier Mercellus, which was

Granaries Rat and Thief Proof.

In some sections of the corn and
wheat growing districts of Mexico the
rodent pest is so bad that extraordinary
precautions have to be taken to pre-
vent the destruction of the crops by
the little animals. Sneak thieving of
the natives must also be provided
against. Corn and wheat bins of or
binary construction, such as are used
in the United States. would not serve
the purpose of protecting the grain.
Instead of wooden structures the gran
aries are built of stone and brick. Most
of them are of conical shape and vary
in capacity from 500 to 5000 bushels
The foundations of these granaries are
sunk deep into the ground. At the top
of the structure is close fitting lid
which covers the hole through which
the grain is emptied into the granary.
The ordinary method Of filling the
storehouse is to have the grain car
ried to the top in sacks upon the backs
of laborers up steep ladders. At the
bottom Of the granary is door which
leads into narrow chamber which is
separated from the grain room by
solid wall of brick or stone. containing
a Slated opening. through which the
grain is emptied when required. Kan
