Vita II Is Speedy.
VICTIMS OF THE STORM.
Several Vessels That Suffered Well
Known Here.

The four masted schooner Malcolm B.
Seavey, which was lost at sea off the
South Carolina coast in the recent hur-
trader to this city with ice and to
Alexandria with phosphate rock, but
IT has been number of years since
she was here. The vessel was on her

ception of one man, was saved by
the steamer Mohawk of the Clyde line.
Capt H. NJ. Dodge, the master of the
vessel, is we'll known at this port. The

Bill of Complaint Filed in Court
Against Mayor and Common
Council.

UPPER MARLBORO. September O.
The Washington, Westminster and Get
tysburg Railroad Company has filed bill
Of complaint against the mayor and COM
mon council of Hyattsville in the circuit
court here asking that the municipal au-
thorities be commanded to permit the
railroad company to continue the con-
struction of It's railroad and the laying
of tracks within the corporate limits of
Hyattsville upon the condition that the
company construct safe and suitable
overhead bridge at Columbia avenue
The bill recites that the company was
chartered in Montgomery county Feb
ruary u, 1897, and was authorized to
construct railroad from Washington
to Gettysburg, Pa, its main line to run
through the counties Of Prince Georges,
Montgomery, Howard, Frederick and Car
roll The bill declares that the road has
been nearly graded through its entire
length in Prince Georges county, and that
a part of the road crosses Columbia ave-
nue. in the town Of-Hyattsviile at the
western edge of the town limits; that the
road directors of Prince Georges county
have given the company the right to
cross Columbia avenue at grade upon
condition that safety gates and other con-
trivances be installed to protect persons
passing over the tracks, and that long
after the company has crossed the high
way at grade the municipal authorities
refused permission to the company to
erect it's tracks on the roadbed either at
grade or above grade.
The company AYERS that it has offered
TO bind itself to raise the roadbed of CO.
lumbia avenue so that persons travelling
upon the avenue will pass over railroad
tracks by an overhead bridge, yet the
municipal authorities decline to permit
the company to interfere with the road
bed in any way at the crossing.
The matter of the company's right to
cross Columbia avenue at grade has been
before the public service commission Of
Maryland. and the latter decided that
the mayor and common council had au-
thority to regulate the manner in which
railroad companies should cross the high
ways within the corporate limits. The
municipality deferred action relative to
granting any permit whatsoever for the
company to cross this avenue until some
disposition was made of the manner in
which the same company was to cross
the tracks of the City and Suburban
railroad just below and without the cor
porate limits Of HyattSVille.

Determined to protect what remains OF

FLIGHTS At COLLEGE
PARK DRAW CROWDS
Commander Toomb of Navy
and Segt. Hartman of Army
Taken AIOft.

There were lots of visitors, some official
and others not, at College Park yesterday
afternoon. There was nothing sensa
| tional done in the way Of flying, merely
some passenger carrying and straight
| practice flights. But the flights all with
| in the limits of the field were rather
| more interesting for the visitors than IL
they had been cross-country flights. Of
| which only the beginning and the end
| would have been visible.
The navy was well represented. Capt.
w. l. Chambers in charge of aviation
| in the navy, was there. accompanied by
Lieut. Rogers. who flies Wright ma
chine for the navy, and Lieut.. Comman-
der Toomb, who is not an aviator, but
| who was given his first trip in an aero
plane yesterday.
Lieut. Kirkland was the aviator on this
trip Commander Toomb was in COM
mand of destroyer In the Philippines at
one time. and had given Lieut.. Kirkland
a ride at thirty-three knots an hour. The
aviator said he thought it only fair to
return the compliment, and he gave his
visitor a ride at a good bit more than
thirty-three knots The machine rose
easily with the double load and made
fifteen or twenty minute flight at between
200 and 400 feet.
Sergt. Hartman Given Trip.
Capt. Beck with the big Curtiss. took
couple of spins alone not climbing as
high as did Lieut.. Kirkland when alone.
The machine. however. showed great
speed both with and against the wind.
There had been five feet inserted in the
planes of the Curtiss machine for pas
senger carrying and Sergt. Hartman was
given a trip partly for the experience, as
the enlisted man ultimately will be broken
in on the machines, and partly to see
how the machine would act with a pas
senger and the added surface. She rose
easily and the trip was made at more
than express train speed.
Lieut.. Kennedy, the Curtiss pupil officer,
was then given ride and this concluded
the performance for the day Among the
spectators were Capt. Alternately of the
Coast Artillery and Mrs. Alternately.
There was a more than usually large
crowd of civilian spectators, including Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Orme. Messrs. Gilmore
and Turner of the National Museum, E.
III. Mulliken and John J. DAILY.
Late in the afternoon Rex Smith
brought back from Rockville the remains
of the Fox aeroplane that was injured

INQUIRY

Four Witnesses Heard by Eng
Iish Labor Commission in
Week.

LONDON, September 2.-The commits
sion appointed by the government August
% to inquire into the trouble between the
railroads of Great Britain and their en-
ployes. which led to the recent strike, has
already been in session for one week, and
gives promise of being as long-lived as
some OF its predecessors.
The railroads are represented on the
commission by Sir Thomas r. Ellis, sec
rotary of the Mine Owners Association.
and Sir Charles Beale. vice chancellor of
the University of Birmingham, while the
representatives of the men are Arthur
Henderson. labor member of parliament
for the Barnard Castle division of Dur
ham, and John Burnett chief labor cor
respondent of the board of trade. Sir
David Harrel, former under secretary for
Ireland, is chairman of the committee.
Four Witnesses Heard.
The commission is taking the evidence
Of the mems representatives first, and the
whole week did not suffice to exhaust the
flow Of information sought to be impaired
by only four out Of a host Of officials
from the dierent unions to be examined.
There was not a good word to be said
Of the Cancellation boards scheme, estab-
lished by the chancellor Of the exchequer.
Mr.. Lloyd-George. in 1907 The general
trend of suggestion favored a board for
each railroad, made up of an equal num-
Der Of representatives of the men and
the company, with a national board, on
which the companies and the mems
unions are equally represented for serv-
ice as kind Of court of appeal.
The witnesses objected to the appoint
ment of an independent arbitrator as
chairman of these boards holding that
il the men could not settle a dispute
themselves they could not be bound by
the casting of vote of such an arbi-
traitor If the terms were unacceptable.
Demand for Recognition.
The only part upon which there was
complete unanimity between the four wit
nesses was the demand for recognition OF
the trades unions as the best and only
method of bringing about peace on the
railroads. The natural claim of the ex
ecutives was that the unions would be in
better position to enforce an award Ii
they were concerned in it. and they
agreed that strike pay should not be
granted to men coming out against the
terms which had been accepted by their
union.
