San Antonio. Texas, June 5.-There
has been a considerable fshakeup in
the San Antonio team since its arrival
at home. 1t looks as if an effort was
to be made TO bring the team out Of the
cellar and to give the fans at least an
interesting game. Pitcher Cocheran
and outfielder Covaleski have been let
out, while Spencer and a pitcher named
Toner have been signed
Cocheran was to have gone TO Bay
City in part payment for Toner, but
he has refused to do So fearing the

A number of the members of the
team are a little under the weather

reasons why such a poor showing Is
being made.

Oriole Lodge Of Odd Fellows has ap-
pointed a committee of five to obtain a

posed that the edifice shall cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. and will be the
handsomest in Maryland outside OF Bal

The trustees of the Presbyterian Church
have purchased several lots Mt the corner
of johnson and Wine avenues. and plans
are being prepared for the structure. 1t

Flourishing communities are founQ ia
MARYLAND beyond the bounds of the Dis

OF unoccupied land between the lmme-

one comes upon the clusters OF houses
that are located in the territory OF the
adjoining state.
Yet the course of the citys population
outward has been in late years very pre-
nounced in this direction. At the pres
ent time the style of building in rows.
which is supposed to be confined to city
streets, has reached as far as Attn street
northeast in lexington. At this point the
new section or extension of Rhode Island
avenue begins and continues to the Dis

on into Maryland territory along the con-
tnuation of the line Of the avenue. But
in the vicinity of 4th street east and
Rhode Island avenue the city style OF
building may be said to have paused fof
the time.
There is row OF houses on Rhode

east of 4th street. but that is the limit Of
that style of improvement in that sec
ton. The fields and the commons to the

Russia Begins Negotiations fol
Their Construction.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN, April "a, 1911.
A telegram to the Berliner Tageblatt
from Teheran states that Russia seriously
contemplates building railways in Persia.
Numerous officials have arrived from ST.
Petersburg and already have begun ne
gotiations for the building Of the line
from Julia. the frontier town Of Trans
caucasia, to Tabriz and Teheran.
At the present time the Russian system
in Transcaucasia runs from Batoum and
Poti, on the Black sea. to Baku on the
Caspian. with a branch running south to
the Persian frontier. through Erivan to
Julia.
The proposed continuation in Persian
territory, will pass through Tabriz. the
Persians' commercial capital.
This line is not TO be confused with
another. which is to run along the west
ern littoral Of the Caspian. from Baku to
Enzeli and thence to Teheran. The build
ing Of the latter line, however, presents
numerous engineering difficulties. and is
still remote affair.

HYATTSyILLE. Md. April g. 1911.
Judging from the number Of inquiries
received by local real estate dealers con-
corning the purchase and rental of homes
in this section Of Maryland, there is
manifest desire on the part Of many
washingtonians to get into the suburbs
at least for the summer months. The
supply of houses is nothing like the de-
mand. and the result is that rents in
Hyattsville are rather high.
Hyattsville has a water supply secured
from six artesian wells. averaging $50
feet in depth; modern sewerage system;
public street lighting; granoltnic side
walks, and a well equipped public school.

the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung as
being unparalleled in the history OF Ger
man aviation These Officers have proved,
1t says that German army airmen are
in no sense behind the French OFFICER
pilots, and their flights through north
Germany have proved that German officers
are already capable Of executing impor-
tant military tasks. The manner in which
the two men found their way Is, in the
opinion of the semi-odicial journal,
worthy Of the highest praise, for. with the
assistance only Of compass and chart.
they few just over 400 miles, and. al
though they were caught in two storms.
they never once went astray. 1t considers
that their flight excels in several re-
spects that recently made through east
ern France.
One Of the officers, it should be mention
Cd. acted as pilot. while the other made
observations. The final stage of the
fight was accomplished in the face Of
considerable difficulties, as q gusty east
wind had to be fought against. and this
at times forced the biplane down to thirty
or forty feet above the ground.
The aeroplane was of German construc-
ton. an "Aibatros." but. as the news
papers state, their "Gnome" motor was
unfortunately of foreign manufacture.
No part Of the machinery had to be re-
newed throughout the flight.
