 HELD AT CUSTOMS
Eugene Higgins, Manufacturer of Yonkers, Afoul of CoIIec-
 tor LOeb'S Men

New York, Sept. T4.-Eugene EIig- gins. millionaire carpet manufacturer of Yonkers, fell into the tolls of the customs inspectors yesterday after noon.
 His six trunks were seized on the pier of the North German Lloyd liner found to contain goods, probably dutiable to the extent of more than $1,OoO, and were sent to the public stores for appraisement.
 Among other things the trunks contained ten suits of clothing, jew elry, and other wearing apparel of value.
 Eugene Higgins achieved notoriety by running his magnificent steam yacht Varuna aground on the Azores with a pleasure party aboard and keeping his friends in this city on edge with anxiety as to his safety.
 When he was questioned by the cIared he had nothing to declare. Later at the inspectors desk he was asked if he intended to declare any goods, and replied that he had only about $1O0 worth.
 Not satisfied, the inspectors began opening trunks and bags with the re- suit that the ten suits of clothes and other garments and jewelry were eX- posed.
 While the operation was going on MT. Higgins declared that the goods were of no value and not dutiab1e, in his opinion. The obdurate GUS toms men, however, promptly seized the enC1fe consignment or CrunkS TOT appraisement and told MT. Higgins that he would be notified as to the result of the appraisers opinion on that point.
 Mir Higgins is a member of the Union Racquet and Tennis, St. An thony. Tuxedo, University, Metropon- River Jekyl Island Riding, Fencers' and New York Athletic clubs; of the Sons of the Revolution, and of the Autom obile~c1ub of America.
 Socially he is one of the best placed men of New York. He is graduate of Columbia, university, '82.

Chevy Chase May Get Water.

Senator Gallinger, chairman Of the U. S.
Senate District Committee. last Saturday
favorably reported the bill which seeks TO
authorize the town of Chevy Chase. this
county. to connect its water system with
the water distribution system of the Dis
trict Of Columbia. At the same time the
committee refrained from acting favOrably
on similar bill with respect to the town
Oklahoma Park. Both are suburbs just north
OF Washington, and are made up principally
oil residents whose business is in that city.
The purpose Of the bill is to furnish
Chevy Chase with Potomac river water for
use in extinguishing fires and for other
emergencies. The bill provides that Chevy
Chase pay $40 fire hydrant year for the
use Of this water.
AS general proposition the District
Commissioners are opposed to extending
the water system Of Washington beyond
the limits Of the District to adjacent towns
in Maryland for any purpose whatever.
but they believe that If Congress desires
to establish such a policy. the connection
Of Chevy Chase with the District water
system at a point on Connecticut avenue
extended. would be least Objectionable.
They do not believe that the use Of Poto-
mac water should be allowed to Chevy Chase
for any other purpose than for use in ex-
tinguishing fires. The water supply of
Washington. they hold. is none too large
to supply the District now

contest was spirited and exciting the
Colesville boys demonstrating their famil-
iarity with this kind of work by the cool,
easy manner in which they rolled the log,
cutting it when necessary and finally squar-
ing it with ease. They were easy vIctors
over the other teams.
COlesville Woodmen assisted the George
town Camp in playing base ball against
West End team and acquitted themselves
creditably their work being a revelation
to the District Of Columbia boys. With the
aid of the Colesville players the George

Burned BY 5000 Volts.

Charles Divers, motOrman, gave his life
that passengers in his care might escape
danger. Burned by a live wire. which
hung over the tracks opposite Chain Bridge
station on the Cabin John line Sunday
afternoon, Divers died In the Georgetown
University Hospital Monday morning.
Charles Divers, mOt0rman. had been In
the employ Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company for three years. and
he knew the DANGER Of touching a wire
which carried 5000 VOLTS current which
must deal death upon the slightest contact
But the mOtOrman feared the dangling coil
would touch some Of the passengers in the
open car. because II swung perilOusly near
the tracks, and instead Of waiting for re-
pairmen to reach the scene he put news
paper over his hand and sought 10 pull
the wire away.
Almost at the instant he grasped the
wire he was thrown of his feet and his
clothing burst into flames The terror
stricken crowd looked on for a minute
while the mOtorman was being burned to
death. But an unidentified hero appeared
upon the scene. He seized the dying man
and pulled him from the live wire, which
was coiled about him.
u couldn't tell just what he did, after
ward said s. +. D0rgett, who was near the
scene. but know he did daring thing
II seemed as il he was certain TO get killed
He made success Of his undertaking,
however. and I'm sorry he did not get the
mOtOrman from the curled wire in time to
save his life."
II was shortly after 6 O'Clock when the
accident happened. Trouble having been
experienced with the wires at that point
