CREEK MOUTH NEARLY FILLED.
Sand Brought Down by Storm Blocks
Canal Traffic.

So great was the amount OF sand and
debris brought down Rock creek by the
high water caused by Wednesdays rain
that the mouth of the creek was filled up
so that there was but two or three feet or
water in it instead Of ten or twelve as
usual. The Chesapeake and Ohio canal
locks leading into Rock creek and all
boats unloading at the Georgetown coal
piers have to use the mouth of the creek
10 get into the river and to the piers. The
filling UP of the waterway blocked the
entrance of the canal and prevented boats
going in or out until the canal company
put its dredge to work and cleaned out
the waterway. This was accomplished
Friday and boats were locked out that
afternoon to complete, with their cargoes,
the loading of a big barge bound to Bos-
ton.
Navigation on the canal. which was
also interrupted by the sinking of a coal
boat in the waterway. is again open, and
coal-laden boats that were detained up
the canal are now arriving in good num-
bers Shipments of coal to the naval
powder plant at Indian Head. which was
interrupted by the blocking Of the canal.
has been resumed, the tug Captain Toby
leaving here yesterday with two boats

View on Suffrage Movement.

eff their movement Is actuated by con-
seriousness of the necessity of freeing
themselves from the yoke imposed by
men, or by Indignation at the attitude
of some men who regard women as mere
dolls" the minister declares. Il think there
is some reason in their attitude. But If they
aim merely at improving mems conduct
toward women, there are many other
ways i'm which this could be attained
without taking such steps as are at pres
ent contemplated"
The minister admitted that not a few
cases of unhappiness in the home In
Japan are due to the general misconduct
of men, and he acknowledged that the
present relations between men and weiiIen
show room for great Improvement lie
recommended, therefore, that men pay
greater respect to women. Woman ON
her part should practice those virtues
upon which alone happy and healthy
households can exist. Girls and young
women should be educated with the idea
of making them good wives and wise
mothers.
Mr.. Okuda Is not of the opinion that
the woman's movement for participation
in government will find its way into
japan.

Aviation Experts Qualify.

Japan is making important strides in
aviation. Recently IA number of young
military officers trained by the army
aviation corps made a series of sue
cessful inter-provincial flights, cover
ing a distance of sixty miles. and quail
fled themselves as experts. The avia-
ton corps has a spacious open ground
at Tokorozawa, near Toxic, where a
group of student aviators is being
trained by Capt. Tokugawa. These
military aviators make occasional eX-
cursions to the city of Toxic, the people
of which climb up to house tops TO see
the imam birds" fly. The aeroplanes in
use are Japanese biplanes, devised by
Capt. Tokugawa, and a number OF
French machines.
The naval aviators also have been
active recently. They paid a surprise
visit to Yokohama and Toxic from the
naval station at Yokosuka. In one of
these trips Lieut.. Yamada covered a
distance of 1870 miles in two hours and
ten minutes The naval aviators are
now planning to exhibit their craft
before the emperor who Is recuperat
ing at Hayama, a seaside resort, from
his recent illness.
Aside from army and navy aviators,
Japan has a number of private aero
nauts. who are making successful
flights at different points in the en-
nj
