BARS RAILROAD TRACKS
FROM POTOMAC PARK
Gen. Kingman of Engineers Declares
Law Prohibits B. & 0. Spur
Extension.

On the theory that Potomac Park
was set apart by Congress as a play
ground and place of recreation for the
exclusive use of the people and that
its use for any other purpose whatever
is prohibited by law, Gen. Dan c. King
man, chief of engineers of the army,
who has jurisdiction over the park, has
denied the application of John II. Par
ker of New York, who has the con-
tract for the construction of the build
ing designed for the use of the De-
partment of the Interior, for permits
sion to lay railroad track in the
western section of the park. That
building will be erected in the govern
ment-owned square between 18th and
10Th and E and F streets. To eXpe-
dite the work of construction it was
desired to extend the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to the site
for the prompt delivery of material
and the removal of the earth to be ex-
cavated for the foundation.
A branch of the railroad extending
from the Metropolitan branch, at Lin
den, Nd, has it's southern terminus on
the west bank of Rock creek south of
K street. In order to facilitate the
construction of the Lincoln Memorial
in West Potomac Park several months
ago, a spur of the line was laid across
Rock creek and by way of Goth street
to the site of the memorial, on the line
of 23d street. That spur was deemed
necessary for the movement of the
heavy blocks of marble, some weigh
ing as much as twenty-five tons. OPP
erations over the line are conducted
entirely at night and, it is declar red, do
not interfere with the ordinary traffic
of the park. Under the terms of the
when the heavy material for the me-
mortal has been delivered.
Application Recommended.
The application of the contractor for
the Interior Department building was
for permission to extend these tracks
eastward through the park and then
north to the square between E and F
streets. The application was Endorsed
by the heads of the Interior Depart
ment and of the Treasury Department,
the latter department being charged
with the construction of the building,
and the District Commissioners had
given permission for The use of the
highways leading to the site. Gen.
Kingman, however, following the re-
port of Col. Harris, the officer in charge
of public buildings and grounds, has
denied the application. He took the
ground that the act establishing Po-
tomac Park prohibited it's use except
for park purposes, unless otherwise
specially provided for by legislation, as
in the case of the Lincoln memorial.
1t is stated that the proposed extern
sion would go on the line of the pro-
posed boulevard between the memorial
and the Washington Monument, and
would require the removal of a number
of beautiful trees in the section set
aside as an arboretum, and also some
of the tennis courts on the south side
of B street.
Whether the people interested in Sc
curing the railroad extension will ap-
peal to the Secretary of War remains
to be seen.

Decision of the I. G. G.

The decision of the l. c. c., as given
out today, says:
Upon the record we do not find that
the existing services by water operat-
ed by the Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic between Baltimore and points
other than Claiborne on the eastern
shore of the Chesapeake bay and rivers
extending therefrom are being operated
in the interest OF the pubnc ana are
of advantage to the convenience and
commerce of the people, and That an
extension Of the time during when
such services may continue Will heilu
err exclude, prevent nor reduce compe-
tition on these routes by water. Inc
applications Will therefore De oehieo
as to said lines.
THE admission by the petitioners OF
competition between the steamer lines
and the owning rail lines was not spe-
officially limited to the eastern shore, out
ence or probability of substantial COM
petition on the western shore.
1.-THE termini of the Potomac River
line are Baltimore and Washington,
D. c. between which points the Penn-
svlyania Railroad Company has rail-
line. and the terlnini of one of the
Rappahannock River lines are Baitl-
more and Fredericksburg, Va, the lat
ter being reached from the north by a
line in which the Pennsylvania railroad
has an interest.
The only other possibility of COM
petition would be in the case of COM
modities moving to or from farms ly-
ing between the Potomac or Patuxent
rivers and one of the branch lines of
the Pennsylvania railroad in southern
Maryland.
Upon consideration of the facts of
record we are of opinion, and find. that
petitioners continued operation of the
Patuxent, Potomac, Rappahannock and
Piankatank river lines is not in viola
ton of section of the act to regulate
commerce, as amended by the Panama
canal act.
GAS indicated, however, there does
exist a possibility of competition be-
tween said lines and the owning rail
carriers, and the above finding is sub
iect to such action as the commission
may take hereafter, in case further
Investigation of the matters and things
involved is deemed necessary"

Orchestra Music for Campers.

They also provided an orchestra,
which played throughout the evening
until it was time for the campers to
go to bed.
Builders and Manufacturers day at
Camp Good Will is but one of several
like days which are observed there. "A
movement has been started to have va
rious organizations visit the camp
once each season and bring cheer to the
little ones quartered there. The plan
has met with success, several organiza-
lions having their day at the camp.
1t is hoped to have some one organiza-
ton visit the camp once each week
during the season.
