would solve the carrying problem for the
villagers. If the Island continues to PROS
per as at present I believe that there is some
idea to lay a tramway from the River to the
village-a plan which is second best TO q
canal.
We had taken two fishermen with us. and
they certainly gave us a treat, both with
listening to their peculiar jargon and in wit
Messing the clever way in which they begulle
the fish. We saw scattered about the lagoon
large bits of brushwood, and wondered what
thew were for. We soon found out. The
fishermen brought the boat up to one OF these
branches and we discovered that it was the
topmost piece of a large pile of wood. What
was it for? They soon enlightened us. An
choring the boat they jumped overheard
with a net, and making a perfect circle, they
surrounded the wood, with as little move
ment as possible. Fhey then began to throw
out the wood, and when that task was COM
pleted they drew the net gradually nearer
the centre. BY this means all the fish and
Holsters, which accumulate under the wood
for shelter from the sun, are caught III the
net. Al this hauling they caught % lob
sters, and II fine fish. We arrived home
at midday after @ most enjoyable mornings
sport.
At 3 o'clock the man on watch reported
that the Daisy was in sight and would be at
anchor about S o'clock. We got our bags
ready and started with our friends for the
beach. When we arrived the ship was in,
but the captain refused to leave the harbour
that afternoon, saying be was afraid Of the
reefs. [ rather fancy he wanted to indulge
himself and his crew with q good nights
rest. We thought at first that we would
sleep on board so that we might be ready to
start at daybreak, but The smell of the de-
caving seaweed was so awful that we al
lowed ourselves to be persuaded-no very
difficult task-by Mr.. Sutherland to return
home with him. Mr. Sutherland's house is
as all embracing as his heart, for, besides
the three of us, he had three other guests
and he made us all comfortable.
1t was agreed that Mr.. Sutherland should
wake US at 4 o'clock that we might be on
board by daylight. ] was sleeping heavily
when I woke with o start and almost a
yell, for I thought that the whole bed had
collapsed; but to my relief | found it was
only the Archdeacon getting out of bed to
answer Mr.. SutherlaDd's call. Good man
that he is, Mr.. Sutherland, had made tea
and prepared q host of good things for US to
take on board. And so, saying good bye
once again, this time for the last, we ratified
down to the beach in our cart and enjoyed
one of the most delightful morning drives I
have ever had. We were soon on board,
and anchor up, and Southwark hol We re-
deemed our regulations this trip for we
dropped anchor in St. Johns harbour just 7
hours after we had left Barbuda. This end
ed a most enjoyable visit to a beautiful is
landau island possessing a beauty all it's
own~-and to friends whose hospitality and
kindness we can never forget.

FREE PASSES CAUSE
MANY INDICTMENTS
Colorado Carriers and Shippers Are
Charged with Violating Interstate
Commerce Act

fragrant violations of the provisions
of the Interstate Commerce act as to
the prohibition OF the issuance Of free
interstate pas over railway lines by
common carriers are charged in a re-
port issued yesterday by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The report fol-
lows a series OF abuses. which, it alleges,
have existed in Colorado ever since the
passage OF the amendatory railway act
of 1906. The report asks the indictment
of shippers as we'll as of the railway
companies.
The following concerns are charged
with the offense: Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, the Victor-American Fuel
COMPANY, the Colorado Portland Cement
Company, the United States Portland
Cement Company, and the Great West
ern Sugar Company, who are charged
with accepting free passes for their en-
ployes and even for the members of the
families of employees in defiance of the
statute The railroads charged with
granting the favors are the Colorado
and Southern, and the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad Companies.
The report relates that as a conse-
uuence of the disclosures resulting from
the investigations already made indict-
ments have recently been returned in
Colorado against carriers and shippers
as we'll who have subjected themselves
to the penalties of the law. Other in
dictments are promised.
The extent to which the free pass abuse
has grown in Colorado and Utah Is ex-
emplified in the statement that, during
the month of June. 1912. approximately
1000 trips were made over the lines of
one railroad on annual and term passes
held by persons ineligible under the
interstate commerce law to use free
interstate passes.

Y. W. E. A. SECRETARY
MAY GO TO COAST
Miss Florence M. Brown May Leave
Local Organization to Accept
Frisco Offer.

There is a possibility that the Young
Women's Christian Association of Wash
ington may lose its general secretary,
as Miss Florence NJ. Brown. who for the
past FIVE years has held this position,
has recently received most urgent call
to San Francisco to act as head of the
newly projected Metropolitan Y. w. c.
y. system for that city. Metropolitan
plan is the one which has already been
worked out in New York City, and will
be put into operation in San Francisco
just as soon as woman can be found
to head the movement. and the choice
has fallen on Miss Brown.
The reason for this new development
in association work on the coast is on
account of the requirements of the COM
ing exposition, and the rapid growth of
humanitarian. interests in the restored
city
Among the projects which Miss Brown
has been asked to engineer Is finance
campaign for $4,000. with which to build
a city association building and an expo
sition building. The exposition officials
have asked the Y. W. c. A. to have their
building on the Fair grounds by the be-
ginning Of 1914, when hundreds of young
women will be coming to find employ
ment. and the association will be needed
as a protective and reference agency.

WOMAN DENIED
HER IDENTITY
Mrs. A. B. Cooper, Of Balf-
more, May Never Know
Parents Names.
WAS FOUNDING CHILD
Records Of the Hospital Are With
held from All Those Who
Are Adopted.
WAS FOUNDING CHILD

The Investigation OF Mrs. Arthur b.
Cooper, OF Baltimore who is seeking heI
parents identity, has developed the fact
that since the establishment of the Wash.
ton Hospital for F'oundnngs ABOUT S5t
! children have left that institution under
conditions that might mean that what.
ever record of their parentage the books
of the hospital hold is forbidden them
forever.
1t is the custom of the hospital offi-
Gals, it has developed, to deny the rec
ords of the institution to former inmates
where II is shown that their birth was
in any way dishonorapie.
Mrs. Copper is now twenty-one. and as
a baby was brought to the Washington
Hospital by person SAID to be her
grandmother. More than that this per-
son was well dressed and apparently
prosperous. Mrs. Cooper has never been
able to learn. She has been quietly In
vesigating the matter for six years, but
she declares, when she called on DIR. u
L. Sewers. president of the hospital, some
time ago to inquire what the officials OF
the hospital could tell her OF her parent
age, she was told that the records had
been destroyed.
DIR. Sewers said last night that since
the establishment of the hospital, 329
children have been adopted. but IN
the event of there being any evidence
of a djshonorabie birth contained in the
record of child taken into the hospital
that the right to examine the record
would be denied.
Adopted ut Age of SIX.
Mrs. Cooper said that after she had in
terviewed the president Of the hospitaI
she sought the secretary to be told that
that official could not help because she
had been bound to secrecy. Mrs. Cooper
was adopted at the age of six by Mr..
and Mrs. Everheart, of Frederick Coun-
ty, Md. and, did not know the truth of
her birth until her marriage al the age
of sixteen. She was entered in the hos
ptal under the name of Pauline Nor
gan.
There must be some mistake said
DR.. Sewers last night. The woman never
came to me and i never told her that
the records had been destroyed. AS a
matter Of fact they are most carefully
preserved. But it is possible that she did
visit the secretary, Mrs. Snythe, now
dead. and that Mrs. Smythe finding that
there was nothing satisfactory contained
in the record did not acquaint her with 1t.
This is the policy We pursue in cases
where the books contain information We
feel that it is our duty.
Mrs. Cooper is the wife of an employee
of the Western Maryland Railway Com
pany and lives at 1124 North Eutaw Street
Baltimore.
