MANY PUPILS EXPECTED
Unusually Large Enrolment
Looked for at the
Night Schools.

An exceptionally large enrolment is
expected when the night schools of the
District of Columbia open this evening.
Especially large classes of foreign
pupils are expected, according to DR..
William NJ. Davidson, superintendent of
public schools. He has had an oppor-
tunity to judge this by the number of
foreigners who have stopped at the
Franklin School late in the afternoon
and evening and made injuries as to the
foreign class opening.
Although F.s w. Murch, director of
night schools, recommended that the
foreign classes at the Franklin School be
transferred to the Thomson School, at
18th and l. streets northwest, the change
will not be made Immediately. as the
Thomson School is not equipped with
enough lights for night work But
classes will be switched over to the
Thomson school eventually.
The final touches will be put on the
school estimates for Congress this week

board of education has had a conference

A visit to Mount Vernon by the Arion

Roessler reminded his audience of what
assiduous students of history Germans
are. and told them that in honorng Wash

NINE KILLED IN AUTO LEAP
Philadelphia Racing Car Hits
Hole in Roadway and Is HurI-
ed Over Bridge Railing.

PHILADELPHIA, October Mime
men. all under thirty and all members
of wealthy families, were killed early
yesterday morning when an automo-
bile owned and driven by Edward
Shaw, jr., plunged from bridge to
the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. fifty-eight feet below.
Shaw bought a touring car less than
a month ago. Saturday night he asked
eight friends to accompany him and
see how skillful he was in manipulat-
ing the car. They were Robert A.
Boyd. Alexander Nevin. William Law
renee, Charles b. Jefferson, Gordon H.
Miller, Daniel Wilkes. Jesse H. Holmes.
Ernest Schofield and Robert Geisel.
Shaw and his friends drove through
Fairmount Park and up Wissahickon
creek and stopped at various road
houses. 1t was after midnight when
they started back. Shaw was racing
another automobile along the 33d
street boulevard and was half way
across bridge over the PennSyl-
vania's New York division tracks when
the front of his car sidewiped that of
Charles l. Spayd. The Spayd car,
which was going slowly. was turned
completely around.
There was bad hole in the roadway,
five feet long, three feet wide and six
lncneS deep. WIN IuI power on SnaW s
car struck it, leaped into the air and
turned over and went over the railing as
cleanly as though it had been catapulted
out of a cannon.
Spayd says there was no outcry from
any of the occupants, only the crashing
of metal and glass ON the tracks below.
When a park guard, summoned by Spayd,
arrived with him the three men in the
front and the four in the rear We're al

Panama Station First.

Arrangements have been made by Of
nclals or the Navy Department to equip
the proposed high-power radio station on
the Isthmus of Panama for an expert
mental test before finally considering
the establishment of other stations pro-
vided for by Congress at its last ses-
sion.
Congress authorized similar high-power
radio stations, in addition to the one
on the Canal Zone, on. the California
coast, in the Hawaiian Islands, in
Samoa, on the Island of Guam and in
the Philippines. 1t has been arranged to
have thorough test made between the
high power radio station on the Isthmus
of Panama and the new wireless station
which has just been completed at Fort
Myer.
1t is believed that much valuable in
formation will be gained through the
operation of the new line of stations be-
tween this city and the Philippines
Site Not Yet Chosen.
The site for the Panama station has
not been finally selected. but a high
point near the center of the Canal Zone,
at the level of Gatun lake, is being con-
sidered.
Efforts will be made to have that sta
ton and the one to be erected on the
California coast in operation by the time
of the opening Of the Panama Pacific ex-
position in 1915. An ideal site is avail
able on the beach near San Francisco.
Advantages of that site will be it's prOX-
unity to the Notifications near San Fran
cisco and it's facilities for wireless COM
munication with the Hawaiian Islands.
