mo. HOSTILE DISTRICT
| LEGISLATION FEARED
Committee of One Hundred. However,
Will Be Ready to Remind Con-
sress of Duty to Capital.

There win be no dangerous effort made
at the approaching session Of Congress
to pass legislation hostile TO the interests
Of the National Capital.
Such is the opinion Of the executive
committee Of the Committee of One Hun
dred, expressed in a formal report adopt
ed at a meeting OF the committee Mon
day night in the ofiices Of its chairman.
Henry B. F. Macfarland. But while no
hostile legislation Is anticipated, the ex-
ecutive committee recommends:
THAT the members Of the COMMITTEES
of One Hundred continue to inform their
friends IN Congress respecting the his
tory OF the National Capital, Its present
form Of government, and census reports
Of the taxation In Washington as COM
pared with that in other cities"
The report adopted by the executive
committee outlines its history since II
was crested March Z last because of
extraordinary conditions" The report
continues: -Four measures had been
sent by the House to the Senate, which, II
enacted, would have practically destroyed
the half-and-haf arrangement Of appro-
priations for the National Capital.
within three months the Threatening
legislation had been defeated or side
tracked. A vote in the House showed
that when members were duly informed
and there was a full attendance. measures
similar to those already passed by the
House could be defeated. The presenta-
ton of the facts was the all-sufficient
argument to Senators and Represent
ativeS.
The executive committee does not be-
lieve there will be a general renewal at
the coming session to procure legislation
hostile to the National Capitals interests
but 1t will continue to observe the course
OF events. and II necessary will call upon
the Committee Of One Hundred for fur
ther assistance in the presentation OF
facts which are the argument against
such measures"
The executive committee is composed OF
Chairman Macfarland. DR.. Wiley, George

MINE SLAUGHTER sHAMEs WAR.
DIR. Holmmes Says Death Rate Il
Being Cut Down.

That peaceful industry has its horrors
as well as war is shown in the casualty
list of American mines and quarries for
1918, issued yesterday Dy the Bureau OF
Mines. This list gives a6Ol men killed in
the year. The number of men injured
was not tabulated, but 1. is estimated 1t
reached 10000,
Altogether in the coal mines. metal
mines and quarries 1.0I7. .0lO men were en-
ployed, and the death rate for each 1.0Oe
men engaged was as. or nearly three and
one-half men.
DR.. Joseph A. Holmes. director OF the
Bureau OF Mines, says this Is excessive
and unnecessary. and discredit to the
industry. He says:
When we consider that this record Is
being repeated year after year, the
thought becomes appalling. In the last
three years the mines and Quarries of the
United States have swallowed up l0,4T
human lives and incapacitated tenn
porarily probably a quarter OF a million
men. The saddest part Is that great
part was not necessary. Before the Fed
eral government began to aid In reducing
the mortality, the death rate was steadily
increasing, and although every year OLr
coal mines grow deeper and more hazard
Gus, this increase has been stopped and
the rate is now being slightly reduced.
But this Is only a beginn.Ug Of what
hope will soon be much greater i'm
provement."

Complaint Against Railway Lost.

Complaint was made recently 10 the
public service commission Of Maryland
by Daniel Armiger, OF Pindell, Nd. and
few other occasional patrons OF the
Chesapeake Beach Railway Company TO
compel that company to run exclusive
freight and passenT-- trains the year
round. It has been the policy OF the
company to run separate freight and
passenger trains during the heavy eXcur-
sion season and during the balance OF
the year one passenger train each way
daily and one mixed train daily. except
Sunday. The case was heard by the
public service commission OF Maryland.
and upon the company showing that
the desired service was unwarrsnted by
the volume Of business handled during
the winter season the commission dis
missed the complaint, stating that 1t
was entirely without merit.

ROBERT MANTELL IN HAMLET
AppreViative Audience Sees :

The scope and vigor OF Robert Man

In the mastery ease with which he
passed from the uncouth King John, his
role on Monday evening, to the melan-
choly grace and courtly musings OF the
Prince of Denmark, in last nights per
formance at the Belasco Theater. His
Hamlet has been seen many times in
WASHINGTON and ets excellencies as well
as its limitations are familiar.
The only appeal of novelty in this pro-
duction is found in the portrayal of
Ophelia by Miss Genevieve Hamper, the
charming new leading woman OF Mr..

plaintive, and yet effectual manner Is well
suited to the requirements of the part, to
which she brings both refinement and in

Mr.. Fritz Leiber devotes his forcible
talents to the role OF Laertes and the
remainder Of the cast is up to the COM
pany's usual standard OF competency.

Mr. Lucas arrived home late last

Ripping Open the Envelope
and Causing Explosion
PILOTS ERROR FATAL
Both Graft Take Fire and Fall
TO Earth With the Occupants
Who Are Terribly Burned
and MutiIated

Vienna, June 20.-Nine aviators
were killed when mimic war in
the air suddenly turned into trag-
ie reality by the accidental ripping
of a dirisble airship by a bypIane
while both were flying at great
height during Austrian army ma
neuVers today. Both craft were
destroyed and the occupants, nine
military and naval and non COM
missioned officers, were burned
and mutiIated beyond recognition.
The Austrian army dirigible bal
loon, Koertling, ascended at Fischa-
mend twelve miles from Vienna.
where the military aviation station is
located. 1t was the intention of Cap
tain Huaswirth, commander, to take
photographs of the movements of the
troops below and then join the man
euv ers. An aeroplane started half an
hour later from the same spot. 1t was
manned by Lieutenants Flatz and
Hoosta. The mosquito craft soon
.oyertook its big sister and Immediate
ly began an attack.
After encircling the airship several
times at a height of fifteen hundred
feet, the biplane's pilot suddenly man
euvered the craft with the object of
taking a position directly above the
airship. The navigator evidently mis-
calculated the distance. or speed, for
the nose of the biplane grazed the en-
velope Of the big ship and ripped it
wide open.
With a terrible explosion the diri-
gible took fire. Flames engulfed the
biplane also and i'm few moments the
remnants of both crashed on the
slopes of a mountain with their occu-
pants
The victims:
Captain Huaswirth; Leutenants
Hoftetter, Flatz. Hoosta. Bruer and
Haidinger; Corporals Radina and
