AFTER BALL GAME,
NO ONE INJURED
Police and Motormen Have
Hard Time to Prevent
Panic After Mishap.

Two electric cars Of the Capital Trac-
tion Company crashed into each other at
Seventh street and Florida avenue
northwest yesterday afternoon just
after the ball game, and the lives Of a
score or more passengers were endan-
gered, while the cars were badly dam
aged. This Is the second smashup OF
street cars carrying huge crowds re-
turning from the American League
Baseball Park, which has occurred In
that vicinity since Friday. On the lat
ter day, one man was killed and others
were injured.
Yesterdays crash came at the end oil
the Washington Detroit game. The
cars were Of the Navy Yark-Rock Creek
Bridge line of the Capital Traction
Company.
The collision was unavoidable, ac-
cording to the police report based upon
an investigation made by Captain Doyle
and the police of the Eighth precinct.
The finding Is based upon the fact that
the two car crews could not avoid the
jumping of a car from the track.
The collision was slight. due to the
cool and effective work Of the two mo-
tormen, Eppa Kerns. in charge Of the
and l.. r. Miller, Of the eastbound car.
Strenuous work on the part Of the
police was necessary. however, 10 pre-
vent a threatened panic, and con-
gcstion of all traffic in the vicinity.
The west bound car was standing
just in front of the switch on Florida
avenue to the east side of Seventh
street, that runs cars straight out
Florida avenue. or turns them down
Seventh street. The east bound cal
started east on Florida avenue, and
was near the middle Of the crossing
when the west bound car started. and
jumped the track going over the
switch, swinging the head of the cal
over onto the east bound track. Al
no one was injured no further police
investigation will be made.

SEX CONSCIOUSNESS
IN WOMAN'S DRESS
SCORED IN DISTRICT
Clothes Worn by Girls Are
Particularly Bad, Says
Head of Home.

Vigorous announcement of the present
sex consciousness mode of feminine
dress, declared by Nathan Schwartz,
the New York child murderer and SUBJ
sequent suicide, to be the motive which
inspired his attack on little Julia Con-
nors, whom he stabbed to death, Is
made by local sociologists and students
OF criminology.
Schwartz, before ending his life, after
he had been hunted for the brutal MUIR
der for days, left a note. in which he
attributed his crime to the way girls
get themselves up"
mo one can deny that the clothes
worn by women and girls today are
particularly bad" says Mrs. Curry,
superintendent Of the Florence Critten-
don Home and Mission.
THE girls know no better, but their
parents should. 1t IL a fashion which
has gradually worked its way into civil
llzation until without warning II has be-
come disgracetul and dangerous"
THAT fiend Schwartz preached a SER
mon that means q great DEAL" declares
]. Nota McGill, president of the board
of trustees of the National Training
School for Girls. But to what end has
this man preached? We all now that
the feminine mode of dress of the
present is not what It should be. Time
alone can change it."

Americans Fears of
Death Found BaseleSS

The State Department was informed
today that the American consular officer
who made a visit to Beristain to inves-
tigate the case of Patrick Dunno, found
that the young man had never been ar
rested, and that his apprehension of a
death sentence was unfounded.
The State Department ordered an in
vestigation when Congressman Kinkead
of New Jersey, at the request of
Dunne's mother, requested 1t. Accord
ing to reports the young American was
under a delusion when he sent letters
home saying he was being tortured. and
that a death sentence had been imposed
upon him.

One of the beautiful, but quiet, we'd
dings of the week was that of Miss Fab
lola Lowenstein Moore, daughter OF City

canopy under which the bridal couple
stood was formed of Easter lilies, palms,
ferns and white tulle. The same flowers
and plants were woven into the plant

cred, and trimmed with lace, and she

In the discussion on the river and har-
Dor appropriation bill which passed the
Senate on Thursday carrying in round
numbers $S4, O5S, 900 and which now goes
to conference unless the House should
see fit to accept the Senate amendments,
Senator John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi advanced the proposition that the
Mississippi River project should be seq
regated and dealt WITH as the Panama
Canal was dealt with. The Mississippi
River he said does not present thou
sand problems. 1t presents but one. He
thought it would be good thing to
move up the dredge boats and other ma
chinery from Panama when the govern
ment gets thaough with them down there
and locate them on the Mississippi from
St. Louis down and above st. Louis as
well and utilize this plant in dredging
the river to depth Of II to II feet.

DR.. Dalrymple of the State University,
who is one of the leaders in the line Of
the improvement of the cattle industry
in this country especially as applicable
to Louisiana and the adjacent country,
is the originator of an idea which is
meeting with considerable endorsement
in all sections where it has been made
known. 1t is well known fact that at
this time there are several parishes in
this State that are comparatively sub
merged by waters from the creyasses in
the levees of the Mississippi River in por-
tons of this State and Arkansas. In these
parishes the cattle have been driven to
high ground wherever that may be found
and the greater portion Of these parishes
viii be devoid of animal life during the
stay of the waters and for some time
thereafter. DIR. Dalrymple recommends
that the cattle owners dip the cattle res
cued from the food at least twice, or as
many times more as possible, and when
these cattle return to the range, these
several parishes will be tick free and
through this taking advantage OF the
works of God and inevitable circum-
stances the tick eradication work in these
parishes will be accomplished with COM
paratively little cost, whereas under ordi-
nary conditions the cost of Kidding the
parish of the cattle tick through the Dip
ping vat process now in vogue, could not
be accomplished with less than the ex-
penditure of say $25, 900 per parish. The
exact saving which this tick eradication
scheme would bring the parish is not ex-
actly ascertainable bat it is easy to see
that the benefits thereof would be inesti-
mable in dollars and cents to the parishes
thus freed as one might say, without SO
much as asking "by your leave" The
turning of the catastrophe of overflow
into a public benefit alone suggests the
plans with the highest recommendation
and the entire scheme is so plain as to be
almost impossible to gainsay or oppose.
Efforts viii be made to cause the cattle
owners of the parishes affected to adopt
the plan to get some good out of the evil
and untoward conditions affecting the
overhcwed sections of the State. The plan
merits the closest attention on the part
OF all who may be benefited thereby and
the press of the State and especially of
the sections affected, is asked to cooper
ate through the dissemination of the de-
tails of the plan which will be sent out
later to the sections affected.

CONTROLLING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
tMAnufaoturers Record,

Since the establishment of the United
States the Federal Government has spent
more than $l25, 900, 900 in improvement
OF the Mississippi River, and States and
municipalities in the lower Mississippi
Valley have spent nearly $50, 0OO, 900,
while other Federal expenditures upon
the Ohio and Missouri Rivers, bearing
directly upon the Mississippi problem,
bring the total to more than 500, 900, 900.
The problem has been such that much
OF this vast expenditure has been a du-
plication and reduplication because of
devastation wrought by uncontrolled
foods.
In February, 1904, at the time when
1t was thought that an expenditure of
SIS, 600, 900 by the Government would be
sufficient to complete the leYee system
and prevent the loss in duplicated expen-
ditures, Leroy Percy, now United States
Senator from Mississippi, said to a COM
mittee of the United States Senate:
The high water Of 1908 wrought de-
struction of $4,000, 900 on levee property
behind the levees. The next food that

THE VISIT OF THE U. SIS. NEBRASKA.

On Monday of this week the bat
tleship Nebraska called" at St.
Joseph, and for day our troubles
were forgot in the pleasant excite
ment of paying our respects to this
gallant defender of our national
rights.
In the early afternoon Mayor Da-
wilson, with number of the town
officials, went aboard for the pur-
pose of extending an official welcome
to Capt. Wood, and through him to
invite officers and crew to visit our
town. On account of the high wa
ter, which surrounds St. Joseph, it
was impossible to offer our visitors
that quality of hospitality which we
should otherwise have so gladly ex-
tended. But the untoward condi-
tons that made this impossible were
known and appreciated, and Capt.
Woods graceful expressions at once
put his callers at ease and won for
himself new friends, capturing their
good will and admiration just as he
and his officers did with every indi-
vidual of the large number who
went aboard his ship later in the
day.
One fully expects to find in our
naval officers men of ability, culture
and refinement, and would be both
surprised and resentful were this
not the case. But, when to these
essential characteristics are added
those peculiar graces of manner that
mark the highest type of American
citizenship, and that quality of cor
dial, frank and candid address, one
leaves with the pleasing mental
comment, They are also thorough
ly good fellows; just the sort we
have at home, only, perhaps, lit
tie more so.'
The Nebraska anchored in mid
stream just in front of the town of
St. Joseph, and throughout the en-
tire evening crafts of every descrip-
ton laden with eager sight-seers
were plying from both shores, but
were warned from attempting to
land on account of the swift current
that made it extremely dangerous
for these small crafts to get too near
the ship. Capt. Wood very gracious
ly launched two of his steamers,
and during the evening they were
busy in handling the crowds to and
from the Nebraska. On board ship
officers and men took charge of the
visitors and escorted through the
ship, explaining the mechanism and
control of all points of interest. The
ships orchestra furnishing music
for the young folks, the novelty of
dancing on board man-of-war with
real, sure enough, live sailor-boys,
being one of the features Of the
evening.
In a measure cut off as we are
from the bigger world of affairs,
national and international, we are
prone to think of our army and
navy as things apart from our lives
and of interest only through the
columns Of our newspapers. 1t is
therefore an excellent practice that
brings our war vessels in reach of
our inland communities, and the
feeling that we are part owners in
these magnificent machines makes
more their purpose and works for
truer patriotism and higher citizen
ship.

THE STATES GENERAL ASSEMBLY
New Orleans Picayune.I

The General Assembly of the State
will assemble to-day in regular BIZ
ennial session, and as a result the
attention of the whole common
wealth will be directed for the next
sixty days towards Baton Rouge,
the State capital. AS a result of the
recent Statewide primary, the ver-
dict of which was confirmed at the
election of less than a month ago,
many new faces will be seen in the
historic Capital building, and no
doubt these new members will have
much that is novel and interesting
in the matter of legislation to pro-
pose. The Legislature, like the State
administration that is shortly to be
inaugurated, is committed to some
new ideas in government and to re-
forms more or less concrete and pop
ular. 1t is assumed that the new
legislative body will work in har-
mony with the new administration
and add to the statute books some
measures that will represent SUBJ
stantial reform. That all the novel
legislation proposed will be enacted
into law is, of course, not to be en-
acted, and is probably all the bet
ter that many of the bills intro
duced by ambitious legislators will
prove abortive.
The problems of legislation and
government are largely the result OF
compromise, hence it is likely that
many Of the most rampant reform
ers will soon find that to get but a
small fraction Of their measures on
the atute-books will be notable
achievement. The great evil Of the
present day is superabundance OF
new legislation. 1t would be in
finitely better to enforce the laws
we have and render them more
practical by amendment than to
constantly add to their number.
There is no lack of good laws, the
trouble is with their poor enforce
ment.
The Picayune favors substantial
and reasonable reforms and any
bill embodying those qualities will
receive its Endorsement. Attempts
at radical and Incorporate legisla-
ton, as well as impractical reforms,
will not commend themselves to the
sober sense of the people of the State
and this paper will not hesitate tc
point them out and oppose them.
There is a good deal that the new
General Assembly may do in the
way of constructive legislation with
out wasting time on mere fads, and
it, is earnestly to be hoped that al
its members viii work periodically
together for the general welware Of
the State and of the people and
avoid matters calculated to cause
division and dissentiOn among the
masses.
Harmony between the legislative
branch Of the government and the
executive branch is of the highest
importance and if attained insures
the best results. The Picayune &C.
cordingly hopes that the new Gen.
Assembly viii work in perfect &C.
cord with the new Governor and
State officials who will be indicted
into office week hence. They have
been elected by a free and untram-
meled vote Of the people to guide
the destinies of the State for the
next four years, and are, therefore,
entitled to the loyal support of the
Legislature in all proper matters
