EXTENSION
OF Electric Railway line To
State SdndtOrium
viii De Made Il The Right
0f Way Is Secured

Perhaps the much needed and long
hoped for electric line to the Ohio
State Sanatorium will be constructed
in the near future. Hopes Of the i'm
prOvement were raised at the meeting
Of the Citizens association Wednes.
day evening by Mr.. Magley of the Mt.
Vernon Street Railway Co. who was
present and spoke on the subject.
Mr.. Magley said that, on condition
that the old right-of.way could be re-
vived, the company would begin i'm.
mediately this fall and construct the
line to the Sanatorium, or, Of the
weather grows bad soon enough to
prevent the immediate beginning of
the work, start early in the spring
and construct the line.
A committee, composed of Messrs.
l.. w. Mulhane, Il. E. Shireman, Frank
Young and Frank Kirby, was appoint
ed to investigate and, II possible, Sc
cure the right-of-way for the line i'm
hiCuiutSiys no VIII
its report at an early meeting Of the
association.
When the sanatOrium was In course
Of construction an agreement was
made whereby an electric line would
be extended to the state buildings
and it was anticipated that the work
would be done Immediately on the
completion of the institution. There
was some hitch. however, and the
project has laid idle up until the pres.
ent time.
The line will be great improve
ment and will afford means for hun.
dreds, of persons to visit the sanator-
ium and grounds who would not do
so nnder present conditions.

RECTOR ASKS MORE
ROOM FOR SCHOOL
Head of Georgetown University
Says College Is Forced to Turn
Students Away.

Declaring that Georgetown Univer-
sity in the last year was obliged to
turn away many students in every de-
partment for lack of sufficient accom-
modatlons, Rev. DR.. Donlon, rector OF
the university at the annual alumni
dinner OF the university held in the re-
fectory Of the old college building last
night, enlisted the moral and financial
support Of the alumni and friends OF
the institution TO enable II in the tu-
ture to accommodate all those students
who may apply for admission.
The speaker also asked the assistance
Of the alumni in his project OF separating
! the preparatory school from the college
and deplOred the absence on the athletic
field OF the songs and cheers OF former
days, saying that those who are making
efforts TO uphold the athletic honors Of
the alma mater need the moral support Of
every Georgetown alumnus. The rector
asked the graduates also to be present on
occasions like debates, elocutionary con-
tests, and work in the class room and
similar events.
College songs and cheers greeted the va
rious speakers as they were introduced
by Dr. Roy Adams, the POSTMASTER. The
class Of 1912 occupied a long table in the
center Of the banquet hall and received
the congratulations OF their older breth-
rem and the members Of the faculty.

WOMEN HONORED
BY UNIVERSITY
For First Time in 400 Years,
Eighteen Sisters Get
Degrees.
MGR. sHAHAE PREsIDEs

For the first time since the sixteenth
century degrees were conferred upon
women by a pontificial university, when
eighteen sisters, representing seven lead
ing teaching communities were awarded
Baccalaureate OF Arts diplomas, at the
commencement exercises yesterday at the
Teachers College of the Catholic Uni
versity. One OF the features Of the event
was the fact that the recipients Of the
honor surpassed all previous scholastic
attainment marks made by men OF the
same university.
The award OF the degree of Baccalsu-
reate in Arts to the eighteen teaching
sisters yesterday was the first that has
been made by a pontifcial university
since similar awards were made by the
University Of Bologna, in Italy, nearly
four hundred years ago. The class receiv-
ing tale degrees was the first graduating
from the Teachers College OF the Catho-
lie University OF America.
Mgr. Thomas J. Shahan, rector of the
Catholic University. in comforting the de-
grees, announced that the average quail
ication Of the eighteen candidates repre-
sented 4 years work in excess Of the
OF the American Association
of Universities. The candidates were
presented their degrees by DR.. Thomas
Edward Shields, dean Of the Sisters
College.
Among those who received degrees
were: Sisters Mary Leo and Mary Ger
name. Congregation OF the Sisters Of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scranton,
Pa. Sister Mary Germane has taught in
high schools for eighteen years and for
the past twelve years has been inspector
OF schools conducted by the congregation
in the diocese OF Scranton. Sister Mary
Leo has been a high school teacher for
sixteen years.

FIRE THREATENS TO
DESTROY AMUSEMENT
PLACES AT BRIGHTON

New York. June 5.-SeveraI big hotels,
restaurants. and amusement places al
Brighton Beach were threatened with
destruction to-day by a fire which start
ed in a row OF frame buildings near the
Parkway baths and spread rapidly.
Within a few minutes seven wooden
buildings were abIaze. Three alarms were
turned in by the Fire Department. They
brought more than a score OF engines
from Brooklyn and several freboats.
The situation was made more serious
by the fact that a strong wind famed
the flames. The fire spread 10 the famous
board walk. and part of that was burned
away.
Amusement men at Brighton organized
bucket brigades and kept squads of men
throwing water upon their buildings,
which are OF flimsy and highly inflam-
mable construction. Sparks from the
blazing shanties and board walk landed
on number of these buildings and set
fire to them, but the flames were eN-
tinguished before they could spread.
The fire was under control at s:l6 The
loss is estimated at $1,000

FIRST REAL BET
ON 7. R. is MADE
Two Thousand Dollars at Even
Money Wsgered in Wall
Street.

New York. June 5.-Perhaps the first
real election bet to be made on the curb
was put through to-day, when $500 was
wagered against S2,OOO that Roosevelt
would not be nominated at Chicago. The
man who bet against the nomination OF
Roosevelt also placed Sl.2o0 against S,O0r
that President Taft would not be elected
II nominated.
It was learned that a coteries OF Wall
Street bankers. in order to test the con-
fidenCe Of the Roosevelt boosters, who are
offering to bet 5000 to 5000 that their
choice would be nominated on the first
ballot at Chicago, had sent 5000 to Chi
Cago to be offered publicly, but found no
takers, even when offered at to l, and
finally at even money.
Wall Street did. however. find takers for
more than 800. 900 Cabled to England and
bet on II. B. Duryea's horse, Sweeper II,
in the Derby. The loss was made easier
to bear by the fact that J. p. Morgan saw
the horse lose and was backing II heavily
as a matter Of patriotism.

by Capt. Flynn.

New York. June 5.-OttO F. Klinke, the
former Secret Service operative, who has
testified before the Federal grand Jury

NJ T. Weller. in referring to the
condemnation Of square 634. providing
for the extension OF the Capitol
Grounds. in an interesting address sug-
EeSted that the ASSOCIATION should puT-
chase and preserve the material in the
building erected on North Capitol
Street by Gen. Washington. and build
from il a memorial building of some
kind as a relic OF the houses which
Gen. Washington personally built in
this city, although he died before they
were completed.
The suggestion brought forth from
Judge Bundy, an appreciative speech, in
which he referred to the many strong
points in the character OF Gen. Washing
ton.
incidentally Judge Bundy said that
James Rumsey had invented and Oper-
ated. on the Potomac River. the first
steamboat that had ever naviEated water,
twenty-five years before Robert Fulton
had ever put his boat in operation and
that there were letters on record from
Gen. Washington, stating that he had
Travelled on Rumsey's steamboat. The
boat ran four miles an hour against the
tide which was faster than Fulton's in
vention on the Hudson a quarter of a
century afterward.
Other remarks followed in which James
Croggan. the local historian, took part
telling of events Of much historical in
