Anglers who went to the vicinity o1

they had great sport. There was clear

little worse than cloudy.

to settle before 1t reaches Great Falls

fishing, although 1t is muddy higher up.
Scores of anglers. including many MEM
bers of Congress, who formerly did their
fishing at points some distance from the
city during past years, have concluded
that there are plenty good places nearer
the city, more especially the vicinity of
Great Falls, Seneca. Pennyfeld's and
other places this side Of Harpers Ferry.
Many anglers enjoy fishing from the
dam at Great Falls and. ii is said,
numerous big catches are made there
every season. This summer the water
has been so high. however. that there
has been no fishing from the dam.
Thomas Collins recalls many good
catches having been made from the dam
in past years.
Ike Goodman was a sorely disappoint-
ed angler last Sunday while on the river
a short distance above Great Falls. He
hooked bass. the biggest one In that

had great sport with IT.

yesterdays RESULT:
War 90. Appies. IL

Yesterday on the Ellipse War defeaed
the Agricultural team by score of % to
13 in a very slow game. Tha game was
marked by erratic fielding on the part of
the Aggies and heavy hitting by the
War team. This game is the second
which War has won this season.
Owen. who started to pitch for the
Farmers. was not very effective. He only
lasted two innings, and in these he was
hit hard and also was rather wild. Lamb,
who succeeded him, did not receive a
better fate. for the War team pounded
his offerings also.
McLarney. Earnshaw and BIrkoff, the
latter pitching for War, led at bat. All
of these players named got four hits. Nc
Larney was the only one to get an ex-
ira base hit, getting a triple.
Brownie Lemeric, who has been play
ing with the Manhattan club in the In
dependence League. has been transferred
from that club to the G. p O. club Of
this league Brownie has been play
ing a nice game in the Independence
League, and will strengthen the Printers
considerably. With Smith and Goebel
as battery. with Lemeric. G. P. o. has
good chance against the other teams
OF Class b in the post-season series.
BY defeating the Aggies yesterday War
decidedly put the Farmers out Of the
race. Until yesterday the Aggies had a
chance to win out, If it won all the, re-
manning games and G. p. o. lost four
out of six remaining. But now the
q. p. O. team can lose all and still win

PANIC DUE TO MEMORY
Of TITANIC DISASTER
Passengers Aboard Ocean
Liner Frightened by Signals
During Dense Fog.

LONDON. July 13.-An incident in the
voyage Of the Rotterdam. which arrived
this week, shows that though the ships
sengers. travellers by sea have by no
means forgotten the Titanic disaster At
2 pm, twenty-four hours from Plym-
outh, the Rotterdam ran into a dense
fog. Her engines at once slowed down.
and her whistles began sounding fog
warnings at the prescribed regular in
tervals.
So far so well, but the passengers, es-
pecially the women, became very ner-
vous, which increased in some cases al
most to the point of hysteria when an
swering whistles sounded from a vessel
seemingly near by. For hours the con-
voy kept near the Rotterdam. returning
signal for signal, and when the captain
Of the Rotterdam ordered the covers
taken of the lifeboats and prepared for
the sea many women were almost fran

On Deck for Hours.
They kept on the deck for hours. only
leaving to go to their staterooms to ex-
anime their life preservers and to prac-
tice putting them on.
At 1 am. the fog lifted slightly and
the Rotterdam resumed her speed, but
In a couple Of hours the fog again closed
down on her and did not lift again until
we'll on in the morning. Passengers who
had gone to bed went once more on deck,
where they remained until the fog
cleared.
The Rotterdam was delayed several
hours in arriving at Plymouth. When
the passengers came ashore many COM
planned that no boat drill had been held
for them, and said that no matter how
we'll the crew might be trained the pas
sengers could not understand the process
Of getting into the lifeboats. Many wom-
an passengers we're q couple of days
ashore before they began to recover their
equanimity and enjoy life.

this side Of the Atlantic attention has

NOT DUE TO RAYS Of SUN
Disaster to Airship at Atlantic
City Caused by Faulty
Construction.

ATLANTIC CITY. N J., July 49,
The explosion Of the gas envelope OF
Melvin Vaniman's airship here Julys2 q
which caused the death Of its crew OF
five men. was not due to the action OF
the suns rays. as at first supposed.
but to fault in construction which
allowed the expanding gas to exhaust
directly over the exhaust Of the pro-
peiler engines. thus igniting It, This
is the conclusion reached by Charles

concluded an investigation of the dis
aster.
Result Of Investigation.
Mr. Hnlman made an examination of
the Vantman balloon on June 15. and
one Of the first things that struck his
notice was the arrangement of the six
exhaust valves in the gas envelope. by
means OF which the gas when 1t began
10 expand was allowed to escape. This
was Mr.. Vaniman's invention to pre-
vent accident These valves. according
10 Mr.. Hillman. were placed three on
elther side or the envelope In a hori-
OF the bag. Four Of the valves. he
says. were located directly over the
exhaust Of the propellera
Ignition From Contact.
Consequently. when any one Of the
alves was opened tho rush Of gas
would quickly come into contact with
he exhaust and the hydrogen would
be fgnited. This theory. Mr.. Hillman
thinks. Is borne out by the fact that
one Of the exhaust valves, which has
been FOUND. was smoked. showing signs
