SURVEY
ISSUES GUIDE FOR
DISTRICT HUNTERS
Open Seasons For Game In
District Maryland, and
Virginia Outlined.

Hunters of the District, Virginia, and
Maryland will do well to provide them
selves with copy of the poster Of open
seasons for game just issued by the
Biological Survey, and compiled by
Henry OIdys and Frank l. Earnshaw.
The compilation will tell at a glance
the open months for snipe shooting IN
Garret county, Maryland; when one may
lawfully kill reed birds along the Patux-
ent, and even when it is permissible to
shoot deer within the District Of Co.
lumbia. The compilation is unusually
complete and quite authoritative.
With respect to deer shooting in the
District, it will be learned that the
open season is from September to Janu-
ary ], but hunting of deer is permitted
only on the marshes of the Eastern
branch above the Anacostia bridge and
on the marshes of the Virginia shore of
the Potomac. No one must let his zeal
carry him so far as to go antelope
shooting out in the Geological Gardens
or in the wilds of the southeast.
The compilation is rich in information
about fees required for hunters licenses,
and tells all about export game laws
Special attention is called to the Federal
law, which makes II unlawful to ship
game from any State where a State law
forbids such practice.

WRECK ST|RS DENT
TO URGE ACTION ON
SAFETY APPLIANCE
Al a b a m a Representative
Wants Congress to Make
Roads Use New Patent.

Following the Bridgeport wreck, in
which fourteen persons were killed and
more than forty injured, Representative
Dent. of Alabama will urge the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce to take up Immediately his
resolution calling for an investigation
of a safety appliance, designed to pre-
vent just such derailments as occurred
at Bridgeport.
This appliance-a device which ap-
plies the brakes when a broken switch
or spread rail is struck-probably would
have prevented the Bridgeport railroad
disaster, believes Representative Dent,
and also Representative Dudley NJ.
Hughes Of Georgia, both Of whom have
seen several demonstrations OF the ap-
piance.
''On account Of the absence of some
of its members, the Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee has held
no meetings recently" said Mr. Dent
today. but I believe the lesson at
Bridgeport calls for remedial action. I
will at once endeavor to get hearings
on my resolution. as I believe the in
vestigatlon, II authorized, will demon
strate the need of an appliance of this
kind. and Congress has the power to
require railroads to so equip its rolling
stock"
The Dent resolution provides for an
investigation of the Audrey safety ap-
piance by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and appropr1ates $4,000 for
the purpose.
Representative Hughes, who is one of
a number of members who have seen
the appliance in actual operation on a
road near Washington, also referred
to possible prevention of the Bridge
port wreck. Mr.. Hughes was, before
entering Congress, a practical railroad
man. He constructed and was presi-
dent for ten years. Of the Macon. Dub
lin and Savannah railroad.

CASH AND CHECKS
! Of MRS. KALCOTT
! FOUND IN WRECK
Workers Clear Away Debris
At Bridgeport Wounded
Out of Danger.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. July 14-While
clearing away the debris of the Federal
express wreck, searchers discovered a
handbag containing two drafts for 500
each, two purses, each containing 500
OF new currency; a gold watch, spec
tacles, and other effects belonging to
Mrs. Helena B. Walcott, wife of DR..
Charles D. Walcott, of the Smithsonian
institution. Washington. D. C. These
valuables were taken over by the
claims department OF the road and ar
Tangements were made for their ship
ment to Washington.
Patrolman Otto Bontems, of Paw
tucket, R. l.. has made arrangements
for the care of the body of Sylvester
Bennett, the old soldier, whose body was
the last found in the wreckage. Through
his visit, it was learned that the old
soldier had planned a surprise for his
daughter, Mrs. Bontems. He had saved
pension money enough to pay for his
passage from the Soldiers Home to
lPawtucket, and without word of his
plans, boarded the Federal express.
That It was Bennett who was in the
wreck was determined by a letter and
bank book found on the body.
g. F. Moreley, of Barre, VT, told a
remarkable story at the morgue last
evening when he claimed the body OF
his wife, Stella c. Morley. He and his
wife were visiting in Washington he
said. He returned home two weeks to
the day before she left Washington.
Both travelled on the Federal express,
and while he was sleeping he had
dream Of a wreck in which both his
wife and he perished Morley said at
the time he paid no heed to the dream,
but that when he heard Of the wreck of
the Federal 1t returned with terrible
,force, and he had a presentiment that
his wife was among the killed.
It was announced at both the Bridge
port Hospital and St. Vincent Hospital
today that none of the Washington vic
tins who remain for treatment are in
critical condition. All are out of
danger.
Two inquiries to place the RESPONSE
bility for the wreck are being held to-
day. The first was that of the three
inspectors of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the second that of the
coroner.

hand the coaches OF the Blue and Gray
youngsters should be able to mold an
outfit thar will at least lie a contender
for the premier title.
Happy" Heiskell Is probably the only
man on the varsity basketball squad
who Is capable Of filling all Of the po-
sitions on the team equally well. Al
though Heiskelrs regular position is at
guard he has often been shifted to a
forward, and has always been highly
successful In gathering points when
playing in that berth. 1t was not until
lately. however, the Hap demon
strated his ability in the center post
tion. In recent practices the District
boy has been jumping with the bes,
OF them. and a great deal Of team worl,
has been. possible because Of his skill
In getting the tip-off. Should either
Schlosser or Mccarthy be kept out OF
the game for any reason the team
would be able to get along very well
with Heiskeil in the pivot position.
Higgins, OF the Prep track squad. has
been showing considerable amount OF
class In the workouts Of this week.
The lad has a good stride and travels
over the ground in excellent time. u
he continues to display his present form
there is but little doubt that he will
be one Of the chosen four who will com
pose the relay team OF this winter.
