The film closes with interesting views of
the great crowd which attended the final
eame-over $4,000 it is claimed.
One hundred thousand baseball fans it
is claimed is the total attendance Of the
five games. while it is conservatively fig
urged that nearly one-third of this great
number were unable to obtain seats. For
the Chicago games. where mail order tickets
were reserved for out-of-town fans, base
ball enthusiasts from all over the United
States were in attendance, while thousands
of orders for seats were returned to their
remitters.
All seats will be reserved and tickets
will be on sale at Masonic Hall tomorrow
night during the show On Monday night
from 7 to O'Clock tickets can be procured
at the hall, and on Tuesday, Wednesday

Undertakers' Law InvaIid.

In an opinion written by Chief Judge
Hammond Urner. and concurred in by
Judges Motter and Henderson, filed in the
clerks Office at Frederick, last Saturday
morning. the State Undertakers law re-
quiring those in the business outside Of
Baltimore to take out license was de-
clared unconstitutional.
About year ago Charles j. Smith. an
undertaken, was indicted by the grand jury
for "practicing" without license. He plead
ed guilty, submitted to the penalty pre-
scribed by the law. and was put out of
business. Sympathy was manifested for
him and it was decided to test the validity
Of the law. At the September term Of
court Marion C. Rice and William E. Stock
man were indicted. as had been Smith.
Undertakes of the city employed II. Dor
sey Etchison to represent the accused,
and he demurred to the indictments. rails
ing the question of constitutionality.
The Court held that section 8 of Chapter
100 of the Acts Of 1902; as amended by
later acts, is in violation of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
and that the amendment extending the
Undertakes act beyond Baltimore city
cannot be sustained in view of the in
validity of Section 8 as amended This
applies to amendments in the Acts Of 1908
and 1910. For the reasons stated, Section
7 also must be regarded as effective only
in the form in which it was incorporated
in the Act of 1902.

Great Falls Water To Light Capital
From the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
Harvesting Great Falls to provide water
power for a municipal electric lighting
plant is under consideration by the Com
missioners.
Directing attention to the fact the Dis
trict annually pays nearly $500,0OO fol
the lighting of its streets, public buildings,
and grounds, the Commissioners have
asked the Secretary of Interior to direct
the Geological Survey to prepare pre-
liminary report on the cost of development
of the water power at Great Falls,
If this report is favorable, the Commits
sioners at the next session of Congress
will ask for an appropriation for final
survey.
That the plan is feasible is shown by a
report made several years ago by Col. Geo.
H. Elliott and Capt. G. D. Knight. Of the
Corps of Engineers, United States Army.
I'VE find" said this board. that cleo
trical power can readily be transmitted from
Great Falls to Washington that there can
be constructed, at reasonable cost. power
canal around the falls. and power plant
below them that there are available at
the lowest stages of the river 6,395 horse
power without storage of water above the
falls in the Seneca reach of the river, and
only 8,648 horsepower with such storage.
while only 4,458 horsepower are required
for the present lighting purposes; and we
therefore come to the conclusion that it is
entirely feasible to use the water of the
Potomac at Great Falls for the purpose Of
lighting the public buildings, grounds, and
streets of the District of Columbia.
THE advantage will be in the increased
amount Of light afforded for the same an
nual expenditure.
Without surveys, it is not practicable
to furnish an estimate Of the cost of con-
structing the canal; but an approximate
estimate of the cost of all hydraulic and
electric plants, buildings, aerial line con-
Quits, and lamps is $3,764.930
IN my opinion conditions are more ia
vorable now than ever before for the es-
Enlistment of municipal electric lighting
plant" said Commissioner Judson today.
THE District at present pays out nearly
half million dollars annually for the street
and other artificial lighting. The United
States pays half Of the cost, and, in addi-
ton, expends large sums annually in light
ing its own public buildings and grounds
within the Federal district. Natural fav-
orable conditions for the development of
power exist within such short distance
of the city, which, if promptly utilized.
would result in large saving.
ut is the intention of the Commissioners,
If the preliminary report of the Geological
Survey is favorable. to ask of Congress an
appropriation of $4,000 for a final survey
and the preparation of plans and esti-
mates"
More than 1000 cities and towns now
have municipal electric lighting plants
In consideration of the erection of plant
in Washington, Commissioner Judson will
investigate the question of cost, the cree
ton and maintenance in order that when
the project is placed before Congress the
Commissioners may be prepared with the
necessary arguments.
