Rough Trip.

Miss Izetta Jewel, leading woman OF
the Poll Players. arrived in Washington
in the driving rain yesterday afternoon,
having driven her big touring car from
New York to the Capital. companloned
only by her mother and sister.
She gave a delightfully."- graphic account
OF the journey in an interview at the
New Raleigh Hotel last night, express
ing the hope that Washington folks
would not receive her with an inhospi-
tality equal TO that Of the reception eX-
tended her by the elements upon her ar
rival
''As soon as We crossed the Maryland
border" said Miss Jewell. I'VE were met
by the toughest weather. and there were
moments when we thought we would
simply have to abandon the car, for
sometimes We were stuck in Maryland
clay almost up to the axles. so that by
the time we reached Pennsylvania ave-
nue. We were a sorry looking sight. I
am afraid our first appearance did not
make very dignlfied picture"
When asked why she didn't have a
chauffeur she Informed her interviewer
that she was quite capable Of being my
own chauffeur; thank you" a fact which
she has proven many times. for Izetta
Jewell is as good a sportswoman as she
IS an actress. which f. saying much. She
and her sister have treveled all over
America I'm her big touring car quite un-

CAPITAL HORSEMEN
INDORSE PROPOSAL
Beautifcation of the Potomac Pc
ninsula with Mile Track Is
Strongly Urged.

The Identification OF the Potomac PEN
insula so that II may be used for the ben
eft Of the Congested southwest section
Of Washington is embodied in an esti-
mate submitted to the District commit
tees Of the House and Senate by Col.
Spencer Cosby. who hopes to have an
made for the work. While
the plans for the development OF the
peninsula have been taken up only ten
tatively. the proposal has aroused a great
deal OF interest. and several prominent
citizens have announced their intention
of aiding in the efforts for the redemp-
tion OF such an ideal park.
while We would like TO have the whole
peninsula improved" said Col. Cosby
last night. I'VE will be satisfied with an
appropriation that will enable US to make
the minor changes first. We plan 10
build a roadway around the edge OF the
peninsula and plant new trees and save
the old ones in the center. The roadway
will be for all vehicles. and the center
will be recreation park for citizens OF
Washington. This work will be the nrsi
considered.
THE section east OF the railway en-
bankment already has been improved by
the rivers and harbors workers. and IL
will not require great expenditure 10
defray the cost OF further improvements.
We will make the peninsula as beautiful
as the appropriation allows.
After such improvements as are vital
to the welfare Of the residents of Wash
ington are made. We will consider the
proposed speedway-a mile track along
the territory southeast OF the railway
bridge. This track will be devoted TO
owners Of driving horses and automo-
biles, and is a much-needed improve
ment''
The plan introduced by Col. Cosby is
enthusiastically indorsed by prominent
business men and army officers in WASH
ington. who have in the past been I'M
able to properly exercise their valuable
horses because Of the lack of a suitable
driveway. a communication has been
received by Col Cosby from the Wash
ington Riders and Drivers Association
complimenting him for his interest in
the welfare of the District horsemen.
Should an appropriation be made dur
ing this session OF Congress. Col Cosby
plans TO start the work as soon after
July ! as possible. in order to complete
the work by the Spring OF 1913.

CREATION OF MINE
COMMISSION URGED
Investigation of Industry by Fed
eral Commission Is Desired.
Foster Bill Approved.

Members OF Congress. mine operators,
and miners are urging the creation by
Congress OF a commission TO make a
thorough investigation OF the mining
industry. as suggested in a bill introduc-
ed recently by Representative Martin d.
Foster, Of Illinois. chairman OF the House
Committee on Mines and Mining. The
hope is that such a general inquiry will
uncover conditions which. II remsdied.
will make impossible in the future any
serious difference between operators and
miners such as would cause a nation
wide strike. with the serious loss Of
wages TO the miners and the attendant
discomfort to the whole people.
The mining industry. and especially
the coal mining industry. has grown
with such tremendous strides in the last
few years that to-day II is one Of the
most powerful agencies In the general
welfare Of the nation" said representa-
tive Foster. I'm fact. IL has grown too
rapidly for orderly development, and the
the result is certain unfavorable Condi-
tions have arisen which might be reme-
died by the work Of such a commission
as I propose.
Would Investigate Disasters.
THE bill which have introduced. and
which / believe will be passed. provides
first. that the commission shall inquire
into the general condition of labor en-
ployed in the mining industry. and espe-
cially as to the safety of mining and the
methods OF more efficient mining and
the conservation of the minerals OF the
country. The facts that might be dis
closed would in all probability tend to-
ward a better understanding between
capital and labor. The three recent mine
disasters, with a loss of nearly 80 men.
and the loss Of from $50 TO 5000 men
each year in sthe coal mines. would indi-
cate the necessity OF an inquiry into the
safety OF mining
Under the provisions OF the bill. the
commission would be composed OF two
members OF the Senate. including the
chairman of the Committee on Mines
and Mining. and one member to be ap-
pointed by the President OF the Senate
two members Of the House. including
the chairman Of the Committee on Mines
and Mining. and one member to he sp-
pointed by the Speaker; two representa-
tives OF mine operators. two representa-
tives Of miners. two mining engineers
and one representative OF the Bureau OF
Mines. to be appointed by the President

he had made a physical discovery

a link between separate bodies not
