Media Division Is No More

McUa DIVISION rs NO MOre
On Monday morning, the Media
Division, until recently, the Central
Division of the P. B. & W. r. r.,
passed out of existence and became
a part of the Maryland Division.
Superintendent J. j. Rhoads has
been transferred to the Schuylkill
Division and all the business of the
Media Division will be transacted
through the Office at Wilmington.
The Maryland Division will end at
Baltimore. What effect this will
have upon the running of the trains
is not known, but the railroad nen
are looking for extensive changes.
AS yet, the heads of number of the
departments do not know where they
will land, having been merely noti-
fed to report at Wilmington for
orders. Mr. Really and Samuel
Frank are two however, who will be
retained, in their former positions
on this section of the road.
The removal of the division Office
will be severe blow to Media, as a
large number of families engaged in
railroad work have been making
their home in that town. 1t is
generally believed that the head
quarters of the painters, carpenters,
bridge gangs, etc., may be moved to
Oxford and the territory extended to
Perryville. Some changes in the
freight runs are looked for, but
nothing definite has been given out
as yet.-Oxford News.

SUIT AGAINST BALTIMORE CITY.
Claims Damages For Pollution OF
Stream With Sewage.


A $4,000 damage suit against
Baltimore City, was begun before
Judge Harlan and jury in the Har-
ford County Circuit Court last week.
The suit, which was removed from
Baltimore county, is brought by
Jacob Norris and wife who reside
in the Fifteenth District of that
county They claim that they own
14O acres of valuable property which
partly borders on Back River and
Bread-and- Cheese Greek; that the
property was rented out to people
for summer homes and for fishing
and bathing purposes.
Further that the City for some
time has been maintaining large
sewage disposal plant on the
Creek, where $4,000 gallons of
sewage is treated each day. That
the liquid from the plant is discharg-
ed into the river and the sludge or
solid matter finds it's way into the
creek and thence into the river.
This state of affairs, the plaintiffs
allege, has not only polluted the two
waters, but has driven the fish out
and rendered unfit the bathing past
time. These injuries, together with
the general responsiveness Of the
waters, the plaintiffs allege have
caused people to forsake the neigh
borhood and the property to depreci-
ate in value, and for which $4,000
damages is claimed.

in many departments. those who would
prefer to begin work quarter or even
half an hour earlier in order to quit
correspondingly earlier. The problem
is to team up those of similar prefer
ences in order to start definite subdi-
visions at the same time. Confusion al
ways results from struggling, especially
in large Office. Perhaps the real So
luton of the problem would be to put
a certain department on a single time
basis, as, for instance, the Post Office
Department to start at S:45, the In
terror Department at 8 o'clock, the
Treasury at 9:15, etc.
Unless some dispersion of the traffic
is effected by practice of this sort the
morning and evening congestion, es-
pecially the morning, will increase as
the government offices grow in popula-
ton. 1t is evident now that the exist
ing trackage will not permit much, if
any, increase in the service during the
rush hours, as blockades are now almost
continuous at the junction points. Re
lief must come from more tracks or a
better distribution of the traffic.

The Open Hospital Window.

From time to tins in the past patients
in local hospitals have in moments Of
delirium or extreme dependency leaped
from windows left unguarded and unse-
cured and taken their lives, and always
a protest has arisen against such con-
ditions as permit these tragedies. The
latest death occurred the other night at
Emergency Hospital, recently erected
and occupied. The patient was left alone
and took advantage of the opportunity
to kill herself from a window on the
fifth floor. She had been suffering from
melancholia and had been in the hos
pital for several months. The matter
deserves consideration to the end that
safeguards may be provided against
repetitions of acts Of this character.
While it may not be desirable to put
bars at all the windows in the hospitals,
some kind of screens should always be
in place or at least window fasteners
which patients cannot manipulate. It is
plainly unsafe to leave persons who are
in the least degree subject to fits Of ir-
responsibility unattended in rooms with
open or openable windows, as numerous
instances in the local records amply at
test.

"Walk Rite" Day.

Saturday the Boy Scouts Of this city
will conduct "Walk rite" day for the
guidance of the people who use the
streets. They will endeavor to impress
upon every pedestrian the necessity of
observing the traffic conditions and
obeying the regulations. They will be
stationed at the street intersections to
check the impetuous crossers who think
the way is clear simply because they
have arrived at the curb, and to en-
courage the timid who do not know
that under certain conditions they can
navigate the passage in safety.
If everybody walked right in the
streets of Washington there would be
very few accidents. Most of the mis-
haps occur through the heedlessness Of
the pedestrians who fail to notice the
state of the traffic, or who deliberately
take chances when conditions are ad-
verse, who try to cut corners and to
save seconds by darting in front Of NOV
ing vehicles. Of course, there are many
accidents due to the reckless speed OF
motors or to the disregard Of rules by
drivers. But these are in the minority.
The Boy Scouts are always admirable
in such works as that about to be I'M
dertaken. They are thorough and pains
taking, solicitous and considerate. That
is part Of their training in the organi-
cation that is doing so much for the
youth of this country. They can be de-
pended on to make "Walk rite" day q
great influence in the teaching Of q
most wholesome lesson for the safety Of
the people Of this city.

The Memorial Bridge.

Sentiment for the proposed memorial
bridge across the Potomac river, to COM
memorate the reunion between the sec
tons that were riven by civil war half
a century ago, is strong throughout the
country. Expressions Of this desire for
a monumental token of the restoration
of national unity have been made from
time to time in the past, when the SUBJ
ject has been under consideration, and
now they are renewed in the messages
sent by governors of states to the COM
mander-in chief of the Patriotic Legion
of America, here, advocating action by
Congress for the erection of this bridge.
If this question were squarely put be-
fore Congress on its merits it would I'M
doubtedly be approved. There is no
objection to it on any ground save that
of exigent economy, which is after all
only plea in excuse for delay. A rea-
son for the early beginning Of this
bridge appears in the approaching COM
pletion of the Lincoln Memorial on the
banks of the river, directly across from
Arlington. When this impressive struc-
ture, symboiical of the esteem in which
the name of the war President is held
by the American people, is finished it
should be linked with the southern
shores of the stream that stood in the
national mind fifty years and moro ago
as the dividing line between the sec
lions. Such link, affording incidental
means of access to both the memorial
and Arlington, would best be provided
by a structure such as that designed for
the memorial bridge. At present there
is no especial reason for approaching
the memorial unless one is seeking it
specifically. With the memorial bridge
thrown over the river there it would lie
in the way Of the natural and most con.

Mr.. Bryan at st. Louis.

Thomas Taggart is quoted as of opin-
ion that Mr.. Bryan's influence will be
small at st. Louis in June. 1t may be-
But this is February-a little early for
prediction on that point
Let US suppose case. Suppose the
President practically defeated in his
fight for preparedness. That is to say,
suppose his appeal fails to line up his
party in Congress overwhelmingly for
that policy. Suppose whatever is ac-
complshed is the result of valuable re-
publican cooperation. Suppose the op-
position vote composed almost entirely
of democrats.
st. Louis? What will be Mr.. Bryan's
attitude then? Everybody knows what
it is now. He holds that preparedness
is undemocratie that "money-changers"
are behind it; that it means capital
istic tyranny at home to begin with, and
war to end with.
The democrats in Congress at pres
emit opposing preparedness hold Mr..
Bryan's view, and are his followers.
Will they follow him at st. Louis in
whatever he proposes in the conven-
ton.
From whatever angle this question
is viewed, it presents difficulties for the
democrats of both factions. When Mr..
Bryan challenged the President on an
issue upon which the latter as an as
pirant for second term had staked so
much he put himself and his friends in
an extraordinary position.
But he could not if he would. re-
treat now. He must see the contest
through, and then in case of defeat
throw up the sponge, or in case of sue
cess consider how much further to press
his advantage.
Mr.. Bryan will be defeated if sub
stantial majority of the democrats in
Congress vote with the President. He
will, in effect, be victor if that majority
is small. He is measuring himself in
the business against the President, and
the vote when taken on the major propo-
sition of preparedness will tell tale of
great interest and importance.
There is no line of speculation more
attractive than that relating to what
H. o}% ~ Itch
at st. Louis. He will be the most strik-
ing figure in the convention, as well by
reason of his conspicuous talents as be-
cause of his attitude toward the Presi-
dent. And whatever he may say or do
is certain to be searched for some hid
den meaning, though it is only fair to
say that he is an open and frank an
tagonist, with no taste for indirection.
