Railway Will Request
Conference to Arrange
Disposition of the Poles

Determined to do all within its power
to minimize the danger of the existence
of trolley poles in Bladensburg road
and not wait for an investigation OF
the situation or an order from District
authorities, the Washington Railway
and Electric Company this afternoon
sent an emergency wagon out Bladens-
burg road with instructions to remove
poles located at the most dangerous
points.
The places which will be given imme.
date attention are where the road
crosses the car tracks at the District
line and 2Sth street. where an auto
mobile accident early Tuesday morn.
ing resulted in the death of William
NJ. Schaffer.
1t is the purpose of the company to ar
| range a conference with the District
moment for the purpose of discussing
plans for permanent treatment.
Asks for Emergency Permit.
The company which has had charge
of the Bladensburg line only few
months, intends doing all it can to make
travel along the road as safe as possible
1t applied for an emergency permit at
the District building today for the work
to be Immediately done.
The probability is that two poles
will have to be removed at the Dis
trict line, which is considered by Of
ffcials of the company as the most dan
eerous point. At tdf4 Intersection and
at 28th street the company may Install
red lights as an extra warning to au-
tomobilists and other users Of the road.
One plan under consideration Is to
seek permission from the telephone
company to use it's poles along the curb
line for eye bolts in order that span
wires may be installed at the danger
Gus points, thereby eliminating some
of the car line poles that are said to
menace traffic.
The emergency work is being done
under the immediate supervision OF C.
S. Kimball, engineer of ways OF the
the matter was held this morning be-
tween Clarence P. King, president: j
H. Stephens, superintendent OF rail-
ways. and Mr.. Kimball. resulting In the
decision to employ every emergency
means available.
Thinks Road Sufficiently Lighted.
According to Mr. Kimball. who drove
along Bladensburg road last night. the
thoroughfare appears to be sufficiently
we'll lighted to make accidents unlikely
II reasonable care is exercised by
drivers There is light on every
other post, and this, he says. makes all
the illumination that Is necessary.
Pole 146, at 2sth street, which was
struck by the car in which Mr.. SchaffeI
was driving, is an alternate pole that
has no light.
There is no probability in the imme-
date future. it is stated, Of the com.
pany applying for permission to double
track on Bladensburg road. in which
event the poles could be placed between
the tracks, thereby eliminating al
danger This line is said to be any
thing but paying proposition at pres.

According to District officials the line
did not pay under the former manage
ment and they hesitated about ordering
Improvements for the reason that the
imposition of additional financial bur

APEX OF WASHINGTON SHAFT
Few People Know Purpose of Parallel
Iron Bands That Bind Brow of
Monument.

Few persons who have seen the
who have lived within sight of it all
their lives, have noticed that the apex
of the monument is surrounded with
parallel bands. Such is the fact, how
ever; and moreover, the bands are
studded with golden points The bands
are made of gold-plated iron a foot
wide and the points are spaced foot
from one another.
For few moments In each sunny
day of the first week of the new year
the golden f1llet that binds the brow
of the Washington monument is Wis.,
IDLE to human eyes. Then the angle
of incidence of the suns rays is such
that they are reflected downward to
the windows of the buildings north
and west of the monument, and the
cool, gray surface is seen to be marked
with eleven shining lines of gold.
Theoretically, a similar effect could
be obtained from some point OF obser-
walton at each moment when the suns
rays are intercepted by the sloping top
of the monument, but only an airship
could attain the necessary vantage
point.
According to the original plan of
the monument, it was protected from
lightning by an aluminium tip that was
connected with the metal framework
of the elevator. During the very first
e,, he
pleted, however, it was struck twice
and piece Of stone was clipped from
the top.
Experts from the scientific depart
ments of the government were called
on to contrive a plan for the better
protection of the shaft, and they de-
cided that copper bands, studded with
projecting points, would accomplish
the purpose. Colonel Casey, who had
charge of the work, objected on the
ground that copper would turn green
and that the verdigris would run" and
spoil the appearance of the monu-
ment; he also doubted that the copper
would have the necessary tensile
strength
So the men of science agreed on a
number of iron bands, heavily gal
vanized and gold-plated to prevent rust
ing. The bands are connected with
the aluminium point Of the monument
and the framework of the elevator,
and at the base iron cables lead the
electricity into a deep well. where it
harmlessly expends its force. The pro-
lection has proved to be perfect

there will be noticeable increase in

Start Of Phrenoioqy.

The first announcement made by
Franz Joseph Gall regarding his sys-
tenn of phrenology was in an address
delivered before his medical colleagues
in Vienna just century and a quar-
ter ago. Gall was native of Baden,
but settled in Vienna in 1871 and began
the practice of medicine in the Aus
TRAN capital. From his boyhood he
had been interested in studying the
craniums of his companions, and many
observations and much study convinced
him that the talents and dispositions of
men may be inferred with perfect ex-
actitude and precision from the exter-
nal appearance of the skull. This
theory he elaborated in many lectures,
pamphlets and books. and soon gained
many adherents in the scientific world.

War Seems Certain

Washington, June 26.-COngression-
al leaders today prepared to receive a
message from President Wilson within
a few days. Chairman Flood of the
house foreign affairs committee told
his colleagues war seemed almost a GER
tainty. President Wilson gave tie
congressional leaders notice that ne
might wisn to address congress after
receiving Caranza 5 reply to the A
merican note.
There was a feeling in congress that
a call for volunteers might be expect
eu unless the tension of tine situation
abated.
Expressions of both senate and house
leaders indicated today that they are
more than willing to take whatever ac-
tion the president desires.
The senate today was to pass the
resolution drafting militiameu into ma
tional service so they can be used on
either side of the border. 1t was to
be with the proviso that any man with
dependents may claim exemption from
the service. As this provision differs
from the house action, the resolution
must 90 to conference. Serious differ
ences are not expected.
For temporary military use, it was
planned to add $2O,OoO,OO0 to the ar
my appropriation; and to pass an
emergency measure carrying $6,OOO,-
0OO more.
