as a Witness.

While standing on the tracks of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com

William Wise. motornan, was struck
by car operated by Michael Benin and
instantly killed. His body wac cut almost
in two.
About q year ago son Of Wise was
killed by a car not far from where the
death Of the father occurred today. While
crossing the bridge to the west of the car
barn he was run down by a car
About 5 o'clock this morning Motorman
Wise took his car out Of the barn and
started In the direction of the transfer
station at Seth street. being closely fol-
lowed by Michael Benin. one Of the old
est motormen on the road.
Rear Motorman Not Warned.
Shortly after Wise's car left the barn
the trolley wheel left the wire and the
car stopped. There was no light in or
about the car to warn the motorman on
the other car of the danger, and while
Wise stood directly on the track trying
to right his trolley the car operated by
Benin struck him.
Wise was damned against his car and
his life crushed out. Motorman Benin
stopped his car as quickly as possible
and the police of the seventh precinct
took the body to Georgetown University

life extinct.
Motorman Benin went to the hospital
with the police. He later went to the

made an investigation of the accident
and concluded to refer it to jury. An
inquest will be held at the morgue to-
morrow morning. Benin was paroled to
appear as a witness.
Officials OF the railway company ex-
planned this afternoon that both cars
were scheduled to run on the city line be
tween 36th street and the car barn in
East Washington. Such cars, they said,
are not required to carry oil lamps, as
are cars in the suburban lines of the
District Of Columbia.

HAND-ROLLER PRESSES
Senate Printing Committee
Recommends Passage of
the Smoot Bill.

Claiming that a million and a quarter
dollars will be saved annually in the
cost of the public printing, the Senate
committee on printing has recommended
the passage of the Smoot bill for the gen.
eral revision and codification of the print
| ing laws.
This bill would allow the substitution
Of power presses for hand-roller presses
in the printing Of currency in the bureau
of engraving and printing, and the COM
mittee, in it's report, estimates that more
than half million dollars can be saved
to the government annually by the SUBJ
stitution without destroying the high
character Of the work required"
Opposed by Plate Printers.
The enactment of such legislation has
met the determined opposition of the
plate printers of the bureau whenever 1t
has beenssuggested, and they are expect
ed to renew and redouble their efforts as
the enactment comes closer. Appeals for
support in their position have been sent
| to union labor organizations throughout
the country, and Congress has received
many protests from many sections
against the change.
The plate printers, expert in the making
Of money claim that the currency will
| not be as well printed by power presses,
and therefore counterfeiting will be
made easier in the future by their adop-
! ton. Director J. e. Ralph of the bureau
of engraving and printing does not agree
| with the plate printers. and in a letter,
| which the committee has included in its
report. takes the position that money can

eminent against counterfeiting as by

Distribution Of Documents.
new plan for the distribution OF docu-
ments by senator's and representatives is
| recommended by the bill. Under the
| present system each member Of the SEN
ate and each member of the House gets
| specified allotment of every public
document.
Under this system a representative
from a city district gets as many copies
| Of an agricultural document as the rep
resentative from an agricultural district;
q senator from an eastern state gets as
many copies Of documents on irrigation
as senator from western state tenn
| ing with irrigation work This system
has been found unsatisfactory.
| Under the proposed system each sena-
| tor and each representative will have a
| money allotment for public documents.
The representative from the agricultural
district can use all his allotment for aS-
ricultural publications and the member
: from city district can use his for docu-
ments Of interest to city jewellers. Under
this plan. 1t is urged by the committee.
each member will be able to get the
documents he wants
Regulations Regarding Salaries.
The bill would also make more strin-
gent regulations Of salaries to be paid In
! the government printing office and makes

force.

Difficult to Remove Corpse.

To remove the corpse from the clock
offers big difficulty to the keepers OF the
building. 1t will probably be necessary to
remove one Of the glass panels in the
clock dial, to get at the intruding sub
stance, unless the movement Of the
hands finally dislodges It. This ex-
plains the antics of the clock recently
Severe cold and the depredations of
the hawk have brought death to many
pigeons who have sought shelter in the
high tower. Bodies of four pigeons
were found in the snow when 1t was
recently removed from the slanting
glass roof over the court of the big
building
winging their flight for the refuge
promised by the tower in a half frozen
condition, 1t is probable that the
pigeons struck their heads against
the stone upright of the tower, were
stunned by the impact and fell help

before they could recover the power to

Concert Hall Included.

The plan also includes a concert hall
for orchestral and band concerts, vocal
and instrumental recitals and chamber
music, with a sufficient number of seats
at popular prices In balconies and gal
leries; the concert hall to be part of the
National School of Music, Dramatic Arts
and Dancing. A roof garden is planned
to cover both structures, thus affording
Washingtonians relief and amusement
during the summer months.
Mr.. Aronson's experience as impresario
and manager, both in this country and in
Europe, convinces him that for the de-
velopment primarily of music a national
school in Washington, the capital of the
United States, would be the solution of
eventual American opera by American
cOmposers and American artists.

PLANS ABOUT READY
FOR PALACE OF ART
National School of Music and
Dramatic Work, Combined
With Theater.

Plans are understood to be nearing
contamination for the establishment in
Washington Of a national school OF
music, dramatic art and dancing, COM
bined with a theater, concert hall and
roof garden. all to be known as the
American Palace Of Art and Rudolph
Aronson, the active spirit in the enter
prise, has secured options on three de-
sirable plots of ground in this city, each
Of them sufficient in area for the pur-
pose, and each Of them well located.
Washington Ideal Location.
Since his last visit here Mr.. ArOnson
has been In touch with representative
people in several Of the larger cities of
the United States, all of whom, he de-
clares, favor Washington as the ideal and
only place for his project, which is to
include q theater for operate and dra-
matte performances. with large stage
and tier Of boxes to permit the giving of
a short season of grand opera from the
Metropolitan Opera House in New York,
or its adjuncts, and where also the meri-
torious work of American composers,
with adequate casts Of American artists
and American choruses, would be first
presented, and where first performances
could be given of the better class of
plays and musical comedies, before pres
entation in the larger cities of the United
States.

HAWK IN IT'S GREED
DAMAGES BIG CLOCK
Timepiece on Post Office
Found to Have Corpse of
Pigeon in Machinery.

The hawk whose frequent excursions
from his aerie in Smithsonian Park to the
relay station for carrier pigeons in the
post Office tower have furnished him prey
and food in the winter season Of scarcity,
has tried to stop the post Office clock.
Perhaps finding that the hour Of his
depredations was established. and the
clock watched by his anticipated victims,
SO that they might evade his sudden
swooping down upon them, he has thrown
the plucked corpse Of q pigeon which had
satisfied his appetite into the back Of the
dial Of the timepiece.
Had the body lodged between the hands.
the perfectly balanced mechanism must
have stopped. The body appears to have
stuck on the pin, in the very center of the
dial, which holds the hands in place and
operates their movement round the face
Of the clock.
