FIGHTING NAVY YARD TRACKS.
East Washington Citizens Not Will
ing to Give Up Battle.

East Washington Citizens Association
intends to keep up it's fight against the
grade crossing which is a part of the
railroad spur entering the navy yard from
the west side.
Evidence of this is shown in a letter re-
Gently sent to Secretary Meyer of the
Navy Department by D. NJ. Hildreth, Sec
rotary of the association. The letter de-
plores the Navy Departments view that
the grade crossing is necessary in order to
keep the navy yard in operation.
The association assures the Secretary
of the Navy that its infiexible purpose ia
to keep hammering away at the grade
track question until this last remaining
bit of crossing at grade is done away
with. The letter tells the Secretary that
no member of the association desires the
navy yard closed for even an hour.
However, the letter says, five million
dollars have been spent in the District to
cure grade crossing evils. and there seems
to be no reason. as far as East Washing
ton can see. why this last bit of track
should not be torn up and a new entrance
to the yard by railroad built.
AS cure, the letter points out that
there could be a new entrance to the yard
from the east along the Anacostia river
instead Of from the west, as at present.

DIED AS THEY WORKED
COSTA RICdN VICTIMS HAD NO
TINE TO FLEE.
Stories Told by Returning Ameri-
cans Show Death Came Like
Lightning Flash.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW ORLEANS, May Histories Of
disaster in the recent earthquake We're
brought here today by party Of Ameri
cans returning from Costa Rica. They
told how the General American cataclysm
had struck down scores at their work,
and how. later on, the victims had been
found in natural positions, as if death
had come like lightning flash.
These tourists told how. out of the
ruins In Carriage, cobblers with their
hammers up. raised over their lasts, had
been dug out. how mothers had been
found. their lifeless fingers still pressing
the face of their babies, and how business
men had been discovered at desks, their
dead hands holding papers.
Probably the most spectacular story
was told by Mrs. Noel Weldon of Pitts
ourg, whose husbands hotel was RACED
IN the last violent shudder at Carriage.
Cartago for several years. He catered
10 american tourists. When the earth
quake struck Cartago the night of May
Mr.; Weldons hotel was one of the last
guests escaped. Mrs. Weldon and her
daughter Mary left the hotel few
minutes before it crumbled into a mass
OF mortar and kindling wood
Other Americans who returned by YES
sells from Port Limon today were the
Misses Lillian Walker, Alice WATSON,
Adrienne Boman and their chaperon Mrs
Estelle Bebre. They went through all
the horrible scenes at Carriage, but at no
time were they in specific danger They
escaped to the city's outskirts before the
fatal crashes began. 1t seemed that all
the Americans In Carriage took warning
from the earth's trembling and went to
the outskirts of the ancient town, while
or
mers, ignored the gentle rocking of the
ground until the sickening quake came
that killed twelve hundred persons.
Work Among the Ruins.
Mrs. Weldon tells this story:
1T was not until the next day, when
light revealed the nights horrors, that
we realized the calamity we had sur
vived. The morning rescuing parties had
reached Carriage from San Jose Sys-
tematic efforts were made to Dry corpses
from the ruins, and bodies by the score
were soon piled in the streets. One of
the Things that impressed me most was
the discovery of bodies from which life
had been struck seemingly in an in
slant. l saw cObblers, their hammers
still raised over their lasts, plucked from
with no warning whatever of their fale.
Corpses of mothers with babes were pick-
ed from the quake's debris, while bust.
ness men still at their desks were found
lifeless." -N
Mrs. Weldon and her companions saw
the Costa Rican authorities worked like
heroes to restore order Rain impeder
their efforts and disease broke out in
the refuge camps. The camps were soon
moved to higher ground, and this menace
was halted.
When the Americans left Port Limon
the earth still rocked.
