Blamed for Breaking Marble Slab at
Library of Congress.
Forty-five union painters engaged in
the library Of Congress were called or
the job Monday morning because four
men had been blamed for breaking a
marble slab in one of the lavatories.
The library officials are firm in their
belief that the painters are TO blame.
while the painters declare the charge is
without foundation. on last Saturday
morning marble slab was found broken.
and as four painters were the last per-
sons TO leave the layatory, the officials
held them responsible. A eommunica-
ton was sent to Stead & Co. general
contractors, ct Jersey City, that they
would be held for the loss. Black & Co
are the subcontractors. When the men
were paid off Saturday night an amount
sufficient to cover the damage was taken
FROM their envelopes.
The matter was reported to Hugh u.
Digney, business agent OF the Painters
and Decorators Union. No sSS. and
when the men went to work Monday
morning they were ordered off the lob.
A meeting Of the executive council was
held Monday night, and 1t was decided
to let the men so back to work IL Black
s. Co. would turn over the balance OF
their pay. and that they would be will
ing to have the company prosecute its
claim in the courts. Union men believe
this offer will be accepted. and that the
entire force viii be at work in several

Aero Club of America yesterday, de-
mandiRg an explanation Of his attitude.
In the letter to Mr. Bishop. President
Joyce declared New York was not
thought Of as the scene OF the big flying
carnival until he promoted it. He said
President Taft. the diplomatic corps. and
members of both Houses of Congress
favor Washington, and that the news

sal surprise. both in Baltimore and

matter. and would leave it 10 Curtiss

fancy in saying have 1t on very GOOD
authority that both Mr.. Curtiss and Mr..
Wright favor College Park"
Bishop Not Understood
Those in Baltimore and Washington
who believe that College Park is the logi-
cal site for the big convention do not IN
derstand Mr.. Bishops stand, and they
want to know why he came to make his
inspection If he had already offered a
bonus TO the meet committee in case New
York is chosen. They want to know
whether he had already made up his mind

Flames of supposedly ineendiary orr
gin destroyed four frame sheds in the
Washington briekyardg at Arlington
Junction, Va, last night.
While the damage could not be ascer-
tanned definitely because Of the late hour.
it is believed the loss will not exceed
$1,000. Oficials of the company who
reached the scene OF the blaze before
midnight did not know whether the loss
is covered, although it was the opinion
of employees that the company carries
sufficient insurance to cover the damage.

The night was dark and it would have
been comparatively easy for man TO
elude the vigilance Of the watch
man. Once fired. the sheds burned with
incredible rapidity. and were reduced
70 an area Of smoking embers in less
than an hour.
It was about II O'Clock when flames
were seen rising from the roof Of one Of
the sheds. Before any one reached the
scene the fire had spread to an adjoining
shed, threatening 30 reach the other two
sheds in few minutes.
Residents OF the vicinity ran to the
scene and for short time made efforts
TO save the property. Without the aid
OF fre-hghting apparatus, the fight was
soon abandoned. tho fre-fghters being
driven away by the heat of the flames.

fire might be in Alexandra.

that the wind would carry burning en-
bers to adjoining property. but the

BISHOP TAKES SLAP
AT COLLEGE PARK,

Another dash Of cold water was thrown
on the hopes Of local aviation enthusiasts
yesterday. when Dr. A F. Zahm. Of the
Washington Aero Club, received d letter
from Cortlandt Field Bishop declaring
Paulhan, the most daring living aviator.
had branded College Park course too
dangerous for an international flying con-
course.
Last week blueprints Of the course.
mapped out at College Park for fast
events and races. were mailed 10 ali Of
the big aviators- president Bishop, Of the
Aero Club Of America. was asked TO sup
ply the French aviator with a copv and
get his opinion
Mr. Bishop and the Washington and
Baltimore aerial aspirants know that
Poulhan has the reputation, earned In
thrilling nerve-racking flights abroad snd
in America, Of being afraid OF nothing
after his aeroplane runners leave the
earth. Therefore, the quotation in Mr..
Bishops letter was interpreted at the
Aero Club yesterday as an Intentional
slap IN the face Of the promoters OF the
College Park site for the big convention.
WV AtEh fOT o@AtCtcus
Advices received in several quarters au-
thoritatively denied yesterday the rumor
that New York had already been decided
upon by Mr.. Bishop and his board of d.
rectors. who are in control Of the Aero
Club Of America, is true Washington
Baltimore is still in the running, in spite
Of the suggestion that an adverse vote
had been taken.
That the proposed rival meet, sug-
gested in ease New York is chosen, is TO
be promoted solely from New York, in
the hope of killing Washington's
chances, is conceded among those who
are closely In touch with the situation.
kilograms were received here yester-
day, welcoming with a perfectly natural
Joy, the suggestion alleged to have emil
mated from business men Of the Capital
that the attempts 10 obtain the big con-
course be dropped and rival movement
started. Local enthusiasts say that New
Workers are rejoicing over what would
appear to be an unconditional surrender
by Washington and Baltimore OF their
chances for the international meet As
matter Of fact. there VIII be no sur
render. and If College Park is rejected.
the aero committee VIII want to know
the reason.
Matter Easily Remedied.
Il cannot conceive that Mr.. Paulhan
could have meant by such a statement"
said Or. ZalIm last night 1T is possible !
that he merely meant that the course at
College Park, as It now lies. is too close
70 the railroad; but that is a mere mat
ter of detail, and could be easily
remedied."
Chairman Charles J. Bell reiterated his
statement that Washington's chances are
still good, and that no rival meet is con-
templated at this time.
Another question that the New York
boomers are trying to get around is the
well-known desire Of the Wright brothers
TO see the next big meet held where It
viii be under tho eyes of the nations
legislators and the President OF the
United States. IF the Wrights come. out
fiat-footed against New York. Washing
ton viii be chosen beyond the shadow
OF doubt Curtiss is also said to be
