TO INVESTIGATE COLLISION.
Steamer That Struck Schooner Said
to Have Left Her Helpless

The. two-masted bay schooner Quick
time. which was in collision in Chesapeake
bay. off Sandy point, Tuesday. with the
British steamship Kirkby, is a we'll
known trader to this CITY, and was last
here about two months ago. In the
collision the Quicktime lost all her
headgear and had her deck split back
to the foremast. The Quicktime was
on her way back to the Rappahannock
river from Philadelphia, and the kirkby
was bound light to Baltimore.
1t is charged by the crew Of the
Quicktime that the steamer did not
stop after striking their vessel. but
left her leaking and helpless to drift
about on the bay. Keeping the pumps
going kept the vessel afioat. and when
the schooner John Wethered came along
she took her in tow to Baltimore. The
damage done the Quicktime will amount
to about $1,000.
The collision has been reported at the
custom house at Baltimore. and an in
vestigation will be made by the au-
thorities. No damage was sustained
by the steamer.

Is Held Incompetent.

Edward w. Dom, seventy-four years
old, a resident of Washington all his life,
was today adjudged incompetent by a
jury in the District Supreme Court be-
fore Justice Stafford. The jury de-
clared Mr.. Dom to be suffering from
senile dementia due to his advanced
years.
The proceedings were instituted by the
four children of Mr.. Dom, who say
their father is not able to attend to his
business affairs and took the steps to
have him adjudged incompetent that
some person might be appointed by the
court to manage his property.
Drs. Stearns and Sappington testified
to the mental incapacity of Mr.. Donn and
also gave their opinion that Mr. Donn's
condition would not permit his presence
in court at the hearing.

ALEXANDRIA FARE INCREASE.
Chamber of Commerce Asked to Op-
pose Railroads Request.

Alfred E. Wood, attorney, who Is op-
posing the request of the Southern
railway to the interstate commerce
commission that 1t be allowed to raise
the fare from Washington to Alexandria
from 80 cents to SO cents, brought
the matter to the attention Of the
Chamber of Commerce last evening. and
later. at a meeting of the directors Of
that organization. Chaplin Brown, coun-
sci. was requested to look into the
matter.
The road has filed the application
because 1t has discovered that persons
travelling south from Washington have
been in the habit of buying ticket
to Alexandria, and then taking advan-
tage of the Virginia rate Of "a cents
per mile. The claim is made by the
railroad that thereby the interstate rate
of $3.50 to Richmond is defeated.

GIVEN AN INSPIRATION
BY riding M|LLERS"
Secretary Waldo Hibbs Starts
on Long Hike Through the
Shenandoah Valley.

Commissioner Rudolph Is wondering
whether the "Riding Millers.' who re-
Gently called at the District building. are
responsible for his being without a Sec
retary today. while Secretary Waldo c.
Hibbs is trying to figure out whether
there Is any significance in the appear
ance Of tired homing pigeon just as
person starts 17o-mile walking trip.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
deliberations, 1t Is certain Mr.. Hibbs was
very much entertained by the Riding
Millers' recital OF the 1O.O00-mile bicycle
tour they are making Of the United
States. The Commissioner was not pres
ent when the Millers called to get his sig
nature for a book they are writing, so
Mr.. Hibbs got the whole story.
He decided right away that the tour
business has its charms even after Pull
have been eliminated. Hibbs does not
care for bicycles. but he is fond OF walk
ing, so he took Leonard Brown of the
Mckinley Manual Training School into
his confidence and the two framed up
17O-mile hike to the Shenandoah valley.
Tired Pigeon May Be Omen.
Just as they were telling Commissioners
Rudolph goodbye Tuesday afternoon a
long flight, few into the Commission
er's room and lighted within few feet
OF the executives desk. Hibbs looked at
the bird. then thought of the long walk
that was before him, but the incident did
not deter him.
The pigeon remained in Mr.. Rudolph's
office several hours, finally leaving just
before the closing hour.
According to Mr.. Hibbs, 1t is their plan
to put in week of walking. Several side
trips will be taken and numerous stops
made, but 1T is not their intention to dis
pose of photographs of themselves as
the Riding Millers'' do.
Luray, Stannardsville, Whitehall, Way
nesboro. Staunton Goshen, Goshen Pass,
Rockbridge Baths, Lexington and Natural
Bridge are included in the itinerary. 1t is
expected that the daily hike will be from
twenty-five to thirty miles.
Both Hibbs and Brown left lightly shod
and not overburdened, so that they have
no difficulty establishing a twenty-five
mile daily hike. Their route, while
through some of the most beautiful of
Virginia scenery, was purposely mapped
out SO that it will extend over some of
the hardest going roads that Virginia
presents to pedestrians.

WALLS OF MIRRORS
 FOR THE THEATER
Lady Patron at the Orpheo Makes Suggestion to Do Away With Big
 Hat Evil-This Weeks Bill.


 Suggestion to Do Away With Big
 Hat Evil-This Weeks Bill.
 Two excellent vaudeville acts op- ened the week at the Orpheo Theater Monday evening before large and ap- preciative audiences. The first act is high class singing act while the other is a novelty act introducing 'iDr. Cook" and the North Pole ; Notwithstanding the fact that Miss Rosalie Rose, who is appearing in character singing, failed to have her stage hosfumes to larrive here on time for the performance, her ap- pearance in street costume was not at all detrimental to her act. Her work was we'll received and won much applause at both performances.
 The Sidonias, who present the .Dr. Cook sketch have a bunch of fun in their novelty act. The setting of the act is perfect in every detail and the gags are classy.
 Manager Wilhoit is now running among his pictures motto for lad ;; fes. The sign urges ladies wearing large hats to please remove them as an accommodation to the small man behind. This is a worthy suggestion but not as unique as plan suggest ed some time ago by lady reader of the Graphic. The plan is one that would probably meet with the ap- proval of every lady patron of the theater. The lady, after visiting the theater and reading the sign, sug- gested that way to avoid the large hat custom would to have the wall of the theater lined with mirrors. With mirrors on all sides, she stated, no lady would object to removing her hat whether it be large or small. The
 theater is usually crowded during the night Performances and while Hatrpns were slowly leaving the theater a lady could very easily put on her hat and put it on straight. This would be a great convenience to patrons of the theater and would also appeal to the ladies.
 Nothing would appeal more to the small man behind than a plan to do away with the large hats and the fair one with beautiful hair would in all most all cases remove her toque if assured that she might replace it to Der fancy before leaving the play house.
