Starting from Chevy Chase circle to-
morrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, wan
derlusters of Washington expect to "ex-
plore' Broad branch and the vicinity.
with which large number of the mixers
are unfamiliar. Frank C. Merritt is to
lead the expedition"
In order to be certain that the road is
a good one and that sufficient springs
where good water may be obtained can
be found, Leader Merritt has gone over
the proposed route. The road was found
to be excellent in all respects. with an
abundance of natural beauties to inter-
est the walkers who go tomorrow.
Route to Be Followed.
Mr.. Merritt today described the route in
part as follows: After we reach the
road comes in We shall follow the
branch on the west to point where
rustic bridge crosses, and here We will
cross branch and road. We shall then
follow the footpath up for a short dis
tance past the spring, and from the
spring take a roundabout trail to the
reservoir and 14th street car line.
Provided the weather is good. large
number Of mixers are expected to hit
the Trail. LeTe dIc tHOSt dhioH6 I4AS
walkers to whom weather is largely a
matter of indifference, but the great ma
jority do not care to walk in the rain.
Shade Most of the Way.
The chosen paths lead, for the most
part, through the woods. SO that it is
likely the mixers will have a cooler time
Of it than those who remain in the city
during the afternoon. Halts will be made
along the trail, according to the desires
Of the wanderlusters.
Plenty of walks yet remain for the
mixers of Washington II they care to
make them. Several routes for other
walks have already been proposed by
regulars" and the great difficulty at
present appears in which to take first,
all of them having the appearance Of be-
ing so good.
"Washington is one of the best cities
in the country, If indeed not the best,
for those who care for walking" said one
'luster today. MOT only within the city
limits. but on the outskirts and in all
of the surrounding country beautiful
walks are to be found"

TWENTY-FIVE POSITIONS
ARE CUT FROM PAY ROLL
Abolished in Office Of Auditor Of
Post Office Department, But No
Dismissals Necessary.

Twenty-Five positions of the various
grades between $40 and $4,000 in the
office of the auditor for the Post Office
Department were abolished by the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill. No disnissals were neces-
sary, as the reduction in force had
been anticipated and vacancies held
open to take care of all employees in
the Office except eleven. who were
transferred to other bureaus of the
Treasury Department.
Five new messenger boys at $3.50 per
annum were appointed. and it was nee
essary to make a number of adjust
ments in salaries to conform to the
The most important change was the
transfer of the 200 employees engaged
on electrical tabulation from piece rate
to monthly salary basis.
The auditor stated that a new type
of electrical card perforator had been
perfected, with which it was proposed
to gradually supplant the present hand
key-punch. The new machines are
equipped with automatic card feed, and.
being motor driven, are operated with
considerably less physical effort.
The following messenger boys at $3.50
per annum were appointed: Leo A. Lis
ton, Christopher S. Tenley, Lawrence E..
Kreider, Charles e. Shewalter and Nor

WHARvES ARE CONGESTED.
Masters of Vessels With Freight
Have Difficulty in Berthing.

Masters of vessels arriving here with
lumber. wood and railroad tie cargoes
are having difficulty in finding a berth
at which to unload, SO congested are the
wharves on the Washington channel.
Lumber-laden vessels have often to wait
several days until space can be made at
which to discharge, and this delay Is
making the masters Of lumber-carrying
craft unwilling to accept charters to
bring lumber here except at high freight
rates. Yesterday the schooner Mary Lee
arrived here with load Of lumber from
the Rappahannock river. and Capt. Rob-
erts spent the greater part of yesterday
afternoon endeavoring to find a berth,
but was unsuccessful. 1t is probable the
vessel will have to wait until some Of the
lumber now piled on the wharves is re-
moved, and space made for her cargo.
Recently the schooner Jennie D. Bell,
which brought about $4,000 feet of lum-
ber from Newbern. n. c.. had to lie out
side the dock for nearly a week before
she could start unloading. Much of this
congestion is due, 1t is claimed, to the
fact that the District has taken posses
sion of the local wharves for sand and
brick storage purposes where lumber
was formerly landed.

Mann's Graft Inquiry.
REFUSES TO DESERT VESSEL.
Capt. John Thomas browns When
Schooner Hudson Goes Down.

Capt. John Thomas. master of the
fve-masted schooner George P. Hud-
son, who was drowned early in the
week when his schooner was sunk in
a collision with the steamship Middle
sex near Near Pollock Rip lightship, in
Nantucket sound. was known here,
where he frequently came in command
of tce-laden schooners from Maine. He
was last here in command Of the three
ma asted schooner Bertha Dean, which
was lost several years ago. Capt
Thomas, according to reports. refused
to abandon his vessel. and when she
sank she carried him down with her,
The Hudson was a modern FIVE
masted schooner and one of the largest
in the coastwise service. The accident
occurred in a thick fog. and the steam
ship was SO badly damaged that she
had to go back to Boston for repairs.

Queer Justice

When Bully Boozer beats his
wife we put him in cell, and
there he leads a pleasant life, and
likes it passing well. We fill his
plate with wholesome fare, when
sounds the dinner gong, and see
that while he fingers there his
1ife's a grand sweet song. We
hand him magazines and books,
and papers day by day, so he can
loaf in cozy hooks, and read the
hours away. Sweet women call
and hand him tracts and cheer
him up so well that he forgets the
ugly facts which put him in his
cell. Meanwhile his wife. with
blackened eye, is toiling DER a
tub: she has to toll. with sob and
sigh, to get the children grub.
Her husband. sentenced by the
court, earns money when he's
free. and, though he is a yellow
sport, he feeds his family. Be-
cause he filled himself with ale,
and started household strife, we
lock him in our cozy Jail, and pun
ish kids and wife. He has the
rest he's long desired. with time
to read and sleep. the while the
woman, sick and tired, must work
and watch and weep. Thus flows
our justice in rill-the kind we
keep on tap; the innocent must
pay the bill, while sinners have
snap.

SIX STICKS ARE MISSING.
Contractor Minus Portion of Material
for Bridge Repair.

Clarke & Winston Company, con-
tractor for the repairs to the fender
piling about the pier on the north side
of the Highway bridge draw. would
very much like to know what has be-
some of six piles necessary to make up
the number wanted for the bridge
work. Recently cars loaded with all
the sixty-hve-foot-long piles. except
six. arrived at Alexandria, where the
long sticks were thrown overheard
and towed to the bridge.
Information was received that the
missing piles were on top Of two cars
laden with lumber for this city, and
though they have been on their way
here from Florida for about a month,
they have not yet arrived and the work
on the bridge draw render mas ABOUT
ed. The work will probably be de-
layed.

To be fitted with a new cabin and to

THURSTON INSPECTING
WORK AT FAIRGROUNDS
Superintendent Of Schools Also in
Close Touch With Other
Activities.

With the view to seeing just what
work Is being done on the school play
grounds Of the District. just how the
work is apportioned, the number OF
children in attendance and similar fea-
lures, Ernest L. Thurston. superintend-
ent of public schools here, plans to
visit all Of the play places next week
He has visited one-the new one at
Petworth-since his return Thursday
from a brief vacation, and today de-
clared himself very pleased with the
work he had seen there.
1t has been one of Mr.. Thurston's
policies since becoming superintendent
to keep in close personal touch with
all Of the schools and with his sub
ordinates. This same policy is to be
grounds.
Feature Of Activities.
One feature Of the playground activi-
ties this year to which Supt. Thurston
probably will devote more attention
than to any others, is that providing
for the coaching of backward or re-
tarded children. For the first time in
the history of the school Fairgrounds
classes were opened this year for the
benefit Of children who had not made
year.
Such classes were opened for white
children at the Wallach and the Jeffer-
son buildings: for co1ored children the
Magruder School building is being used.
Children whose work last year was
such as to render their promotion
doubtful are being given opportunity
at these schools to make up the back
work. If they succeed they will be able
to keep on without losing any time.
Extension Of Work Probable.
Supt. Thurston plans to extend this
work next summer If the results this
year justify 1t. The entire proposition
will depend largely upon the success
or failure at the schools named.
Il hope that the work will prove
successful" said Mr.. Thurston today,
"and I hope we shall be able to open
additional buildings for the purpose
next summer. If these backward boys
and girls may be saved half a year
steps should certainly be taken to save
this time"

NO SMOKING ALLOWED
AFTER $3.50 O'CLOCK Pm.
Prohibitive Order Effective in Of
fees of the Agriculture
Department.

NO smoking in this room after $3.50
pm" Such is the sign hanging on the
walls Of many Of the offices of the De-
partment of Agriculture. Curious Wis
itors have often been at a loss to ex-
plain just what there is about snok-
ing after a certain time of the day to
make its prohibition necessary.
The explanation of the signs is rela-
lively simple. About two years ago a
fire broke out in the west wing, one of
partment buildings located to the south
Of the old main building. These two
wings are freproof buildings. but some
structive fire started.
Explanations Offered.
Of the fire. One, the self-combustion Of
cotton kept in one of the laboratories;
the other. cigarettes. 1t is thought
that the latter explanation is the true
one. and that the confiagration was
caused by a slow-burning cigarette
carelessly thrown into a waste paper
basket a short time before closing
hours. 1t is thought the cigarette was
thrown away by some visitor to the par
ticular bureau in which the fire orig
mated.
Prohibitive Order Issued.
Smoking in the building of the De-
partment of Agriculture was therefore
absolutely prohibited. and this ruling
was in effect until recently, when the
embargo was raised in rooms in which
no combustible materials are kept and
smoking allowed until $3.50 in the
afternoon. The hour leeway before the
department closes. of course, is for the
purpose of preventing any possible fire
that might originate from the pipe,
cigar or cigarette of any employe of
the department by giving plenty of
time for the possible conf1agration to
be discovered.
