The Pennsylvania Railroad, as the
result Of interruption to shipping, oc-

tiles, has enlarged Philadelphia and
Baltimore on certain classes Of ex-
plosives for export, except in cases
where shippers could guarantee
prompt removal of cargoes. In the
light of the fact that all shipping has
ceased. the embargo will prevent ac-
ceptance Of all freight OF the KIND

With the embargo on high explos-
ives, Philadelphia is now closed to
two main commodities demanded by
the Allies. Some months ago both the
Pennsylvania and the Reading closed
this port to grain unless arrange
ments previously had been made for
immediate removal.
In tabooing explosives the Pennsyl-
vania made It plain that its move was
strictly for safety. The step was taken
to prevent the dumping Of dangerous

CUP
FOR BEST BIRDS
Handsome Trophy Will be
Competed for at Annual

PENS THIS YEAR

mated a handsome silver loving cup,
to be won by the owner of the best
bird shown at the tenth annual ex-
hibition of the Diamond State Poultry
and Pigeon Association, to be held at

sought. Another cup which has been
donated this year. which will be hot
ly contested for, is that of Mayor
James f. Price. The trophy donated
by THE EVENING JOURNAL will
also be one of the many prizes of the
exhibition.
The executive committee of the as
ISOLATION met at Felrs Store, No. 1903
Wset Fourth street, last night, when
reports of the various committees
were. received. These showed that
the special prizes would outnumber
those Of last year. 1t is expected
that fully 1000 birds will be cooped
here for the week, which will out
number by four hundred fowls last
years event.
Owing to Philadelphia not having
any poultry exhibition this winter
it is expected that exhibitors who
have attended the shows in that city
heretofore will visit this city,
Entry blanks for the coming show
will be sent out in time for all eX-
hibitors to enter their birds. The en-
tries are to close on November Is.
and requests for blanks should be
sent to William II. Sewer, show
secretary, No. 403 West Twenty-ninth
street.
At the meeting last night 1t was
decided to place tags on every fowl
in the exhibition. This will enable
every one visiting the show. whether
a fancier or layman. TO know what
the various breeds are. and 1t
promises to be made more interesting
in this and many other ways The
larger shows OF the country are
tagged.

City Nine Prospects

The proposal that Waterville shall
have team in the Trolley League this
year is meeting with favor among the
fans Of the city, but whether they will
be willing to back. up their interest
with their pocketbooks Is another mat
ter. The Augusta fans have started in
and are contributing anywhere from $50
down. but it is doubtful if there is any,
one in Waterville who would contribute
$50 for. team this year. The propo-
sal is to get 100 men to contribute IS
each and it Is believed that a team can
be run with that to start on. Water
vile ought to be ripe for some league
baseball but 1t is hard telling whether
the fans here will feel that they want
to part with the money. It Is the ma
tural thing to ask Fairfield to come in
on this as the games would undoubted-
ly be played on the Colby field and that
is very convenient for the Fairfield
rooters and there are no more loyal
baseball fans than those in Fairfield.
Also there are number Of good base
ball players in Fairfield who would be
candidates for positions on such a team.
1t is probable that a meeting Of those
interested will be called some time dur.
ing the coming week and a start made
on the proposition.

Providence, r. l., April 20.-Em-
ployes of the New Haven road testi-
fed this afternoon at the hearing held
here by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Rhode Island Public
Utilities Commission as to the cause
of the railroad wreck at Bradford
Monday evening. c. H. Morrison, sig
nal engineer, by means of a blue
print described the relative location
of tracks, signal tower and station near
where the accident occurred. Herman
P. Haley, train dispatcher at New
London, told of the arrival and depar-
ture Of the two trains involved in the
collision up to the time they reached
Bradford. Towerman Ross at Wood
River Junction testified as to the time
the trains passed his place. The hear
ing will probably last several days.
John M. McCloskey, towerman at
Bradford, an employee for 10 years,
testified that he was in the tower help

said he set the switch and dwarf" sig

The witness declared that the distant"
signal could not be set at safety and the

The witness said the local train was
moving slowly and the Gilt Edge was
running so miles an hour at the time of
the crash.
Henry r. McManus, the towerman who
relieved McCloskey the night of the
wreck, said that when he took the tower

has been about the city selling filters
to be placed on faucets. The fellow
had been in the habit Of rapping on a
door, and then walking right into the
house and to the kitchen sink, where
he would place one of his filters on the
faucet and then practically compel the
lady Of the house to listen to him,
while he told Of its good features. He
had frightened a number of women
badly and the police do not care to
have any man think that he can go
into houses in the city without being
invited in and so the fellow was taken
before the marshal. Owing to the fact
that he was a Bangor man Of good
reputation and was trying to support
a wife and family and that he certain
ly had no criminal intent, he was al
lowed to go on his promise to discon-
tinue the practice. The man caught
doing that trick again, however, will
get prosecuted to the limit Of the law.
