HOWE'S MOVING PICTURES.
Tonight at the Colonial Theatre The
Exposition.

The most beautiful of universal ex-
positions will be portrayed by Lyman
H. Howe at the Colonial Theatre to-
night Just whether this means the
Exposition at San Francisco, or the
one at San Diego. is d decision that
rests with every spectator of Howe's
Travel Festival since the wondrous
charm of each is set forth in all its
glory in Howe's films, and so it be-
comes a matter of personal opinion
after both are viewed through the lens
es of HoweS cameras.
But there is this much to be said
each is entirely different from the other
in both general plan and architect
ure as well as in every essential detail.
There is only one thing that both expo
sitions have in common, and that is
that they are both celebrations of the
same epoch-making event-the compile
tion of the Panama Canal.
But there the similarity ends. Not so
with Howe's films, because they show
also the event itself-the operation of
the great waterway through the 18TH
mus as shown in the progress of a
great modern steamship proceeding
through the series of locks and yakes
that constitute the canal There will
also be many other splendid features
in the new Lyman H. Howe program,
in one of which an intimate accuaint-
ance is formed with the most talked
of vessels of war nowadays, the great
underwater craft-the submarine.

CURTIS BAY SCENE
OF GREAT ACTIVITY
Oil Plant, Distilling Concern and
Car Works Figure in the
Operations.
WORK FOR HUNDREDS.
Building of Pier Will Necessitate Dred-
ging Channel; New Steamship
Line Rumored.

With the building of several large
plants and the remodeling of several
already in use, Curtis Bay and he en-
virons have taken on a scene of activity
that has not been seen in that vicinity
in decades.
Something like seven hundred men
are already at work there erecting
buildings for the Curtis Bay Distilling
Company, the Prudential Oil Company
and the Baltimore Car and Foundry
Company. GrDIn1 has been broker
during the last few days for the erec-
tion of five of the buildings out of nine
that are planned for by the Curtis Bay
Distilling Company. Four of these are
at Wagner's Point, while the other is
on the water front in Curtis Bay
Hundreds of laborer, horses and
teams were busily engaged yesterday
in the work of excavating the ground
for the foundations. 1t is planned by
the builders, the George A. Fuller Co,
to have the buildings ready for occu-
parcy by December 1, and the machin-
cry and other component parts for the
distilling of denatured alcohol will be
installed and ready for service about
Feb /, 1916.
AS soon as the plans for the re-
manning buildings are completed by the
architects, ground will be broken and
the work will start in earnest BY that
time it is expected that several hun
dred additional men will be engaged,
and when the buildings are fully in
course of construction there will be
about 1000 men earning their liveli-
hood in the vicinity of Curtis Bay.
AS part of the improvements to the
Curtis Bay Distilling Company it is
planned TO build pier at the principal
plant. which will nece5sitate the dredg-
ing of the chanel to that point. Already
the bulkhead has been built, and the
earth removed where the other Duild-
ings are being erected is being used as
a filler. With the increased volume of
business that the Curtis Bay Distilling
Company, which is a part of the Re-
public Distilling Company, of New
York, will handle, it is likely that
new steamship line will find it's way
into Baltimore. Rumors to this effect
have been current for several days.
At the Prudential Oil Company the
work of completing the new building
started several weeks ago is progress
sing rapidly, and it is expected that it
will be ready to begin operations in
the near future. The Baltimore Car
and Foundry Company has lately ac-
quired additional ground because of
the receipt of several large orders and
another building is being added to the
many already on the site of the Com
pany at Curtis Bay.

MAJOR RUSSELL u. S. M. c.
ASSIGNED TO Duty HERE.
Marine Officer TO Head Marines to Do
Patrol Duty at Bancroft Hall.

1t became known here yesterday that
Major John II. Russell, of the Marine
Corps, had been assigned to duty at
the Naval Academy as a member of the
staff of instruction.
This is the first time that duty of
this character has been assigned to an
officer of the Marine Corps, and many
rumors follow the news of the assign
ment. According to one report, Major
Russell would head a detachment of
marines who would patrol Bancroft
Hall for the purpose of preventing
hazing, inasmuch as the practice does
not appear to have been stopped by the
regular disciplinary force.
Another report, probably nearer the
truth, is that Major Russell will pc one
of the drill officers of the regiment of
marines. The designation is under
stood to be in connection with the fact
that some of the graduates of the Ma
val Academy are to be assigned each
year to the Marine Corps, and the De-
partment considered it proper for a
marine officer to take part In the train
ing of the officers in that service.

UNDER FEDERAL
ORSTATE LAW =?
Does Compensation Act Apply to
Interstate Lines?--W. B. & A.
Interested.
THE ANSWER is IMPORTANT.
Because of Pending Cases and Cases
Likely to AriSe---State Board
Hears Arguments.

The State Industrial Accident Com
mission heard arguments in Baltimore
Thursday whether it should adhere to
the federal or state act in dealing with
applications for compensation for inju-
ries sustained by employees of interstate
transportation companies.
The Commission has hitherto rec
ognized the federal law, which provides
compensation only in cases of contrib
utory negligence. while the state law
provides for compensation under gen
eral conditions The Commission was
led to reopen the case by the decisions
of the New York courts, which recog-
nized the principle that employees of
interstate transportation companies
are on an equal footing with employees
of intra state companies, and of other
corporations, firms and employers
when applying for compensation for in
juries
In addition. the State Commission
has before it several cases in which
the employers of interstate companies
are asking for compensation In de-
fining its authority, the Commission
will be in position to dispose of these
and of future cases without question
as to the validity of its action. The
main difference between the federal
and state acts is that the former rec
ognizes the principle of contributory
negligence, while the latter does not.
The arguments presented against
the power of the commission to award
compensation to employees of inter
state companies were that thes tate
has no power over the subject since
the federal government has complete
ly covered the field by the Federal EN-
ployers' Liability Act, and that the
State has expressly declined to assume
jurisdiction in such cases by Section
SO, of the acts creating the Commits
sion, and defining its powers.
The federal Gct of 1908 provides that
common carriers by railroads, while
engaged in interstate commerce, shall
he liable to damages by any employe
injured, or to certain dependants of
any employe killed while such en-
ploye was engaged in interstate COM
merec when such employe was in
iured through the negligence of the of
ficers agents or employees of the car
rier or by reason of any defect or in
sufficiency, due to the carriers negli-
gence. in its cars. engines, applian-
ces, etc.
Decisions by the United States Su-
preme Court and other courts were
quoted to show that the federal act
supersedes state laws. in so far as the
latter cover the same field. Under the
decisions of the New York courts the
state commission is given power to
supplement the federal act in awarding
compensation.
]. Walter Lord represented the Com
mission at the hearing on Thursday.
The several interstate railroad COM
panies were represented as follows:
Baltimore & Ohio. by A. Hunter Boyd,
J;.r Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
by Charles II. Carter; Western Mary
land Railway Company, by George r.
Gather, and the Washington, Baltimore
& Annapolis Electric Railway Com
pany, by George Weems Williams. The
Commission made no decision.

For today he said it would be fair
