WRECK NEED
Of RAIL INVESTIGATION
Commerce Commission Of
ficiaIs Take This View of
Pennsy Crash in Ohio.

The wreck Of the Pennsylvania flier
near Wyley's station. Ohio, yesterday
seems again to call attention to the need
Of an investigation Of the stresses which
should be allowed to steel rails, according
to interstate commerce commission off,
Gals. Only last week the commission is
sued an elaborate report on accidents
caused by broken rails, and included in
this was a report Of James f. Howard,
engineer physicist Of the bureau Of stand
ards in which he pointed out the urgent
need Of an investigation into the weight
carrying capacity of steel rails
While press reports declare that the ac-
cident was caused by raised rail-" this
is believed to have been a broken place
In the rail. probably caused by so-called
transverse fissures." which are treated
of at some length in the recent report
These defects cannot be discovered from
the outside. and almost any train runs
chance OF being wrecked because of them
These seem to be caused by excessive
loads on the rails, and only by limiting
the weights Is 1t likely that accidents
from this cause will be averted.
Exact Cause Not Known.
Although there are several interstate
commerce commission inspectors in Ohio,
1t was not known at the commission this
morning whether or not they had arrived
at the scene No messages have yet been
received which show exactly what caused
the wreck. No officials from Washington
have gone to the scene.
A press dispatch says: 1.-THE portion
OF the track where the wreck occurred
was washed out during the floods in
March. particularly sharp curve leads
to the bridge and the new filing there
never had settled. Heavy engines pass
ing over this weak track are said to
have caused the raised rail.
.sNone of the steel coaches was much
damaged, though all were SCARED by
rails, ties and earth. and with compare
lively little repair all can be replaced in
service. Injuries to passengers were
caused almost exclusively by falling and
being thrown about In the coaches,
though some were cut by flying glass;"

Today is the centennial of the ba tile of
Lake Erie. one of the decisive events of
the second war with Great Britain.

lar interest to Washingtonians, because
1t was fought with guns cast by Henry
Foxall, at the Columbian foundry, above
Georgetown. Foxall was a native of
England, but naturalized. patriotic
American. The battle has also been Of
interest to nearby Marylanders, because
Capt. J. d. Elliott, a native OF Frederick
county, Nd, was the officer under whom
the American vessels participating were
built on the great lakes and under whose
charge the guns were transported from
Washington to Lake Erie by oxen
For some years the event was cele-
brated by dinners at keowin, Davis
and Browns hotel, as the Metropolitan
Hotel was formerly known.

son was in command of the army on the
lake. cooperating with the navy, but

evening with deeply interested and
highly entertained audiences These
motion pictures were made by Her
bert G. Pointing, F. r, G. S.. who ac-
companied Captain Scott as official
camera artist to within IL degrees of
the pole. Mr.. Pointing, who is well
known in San Francisco, had Illus
acted as war correspondent during the
war before visiting
the polar continent. and by reason of
that fact was well equipped to do
justice to his unusual undertaking.
Probably the most thrilling Incl

of a school of Killer whales pursuing
a mother seal and her baby.
