SAFETY Gates.
INSTALLED
BY B. & D.
Chateau lie Paradis to Bene-
fit by Improvement Being
Made at AmmendaIe

An interesting and important i'm
provement at the Chateau LIE Para
els at Ammendale. Md, will be the
installation by the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad of safety gates and
bells at the grade crossing leading
from the Baltimore Washington
boulevard to the chateau. While
watchmen have always guarded
this crossing since the opening of
the chateau, the addition of the
standard safety gates and bells will
prove an additional element of per-
feet security.
Work on the installation is now
In progress and it is expected that
the new system will be in operation
within the next week or ten days.
While the Waterman system which
has been in fierce hitherto has been
perfectly satisfactory, it was deemed
wiser to put in the standard gate
and bell system since traffic across
the grade crossing was so very
heavy, at certain hours Of the day,
assuming proportions Of city traffic
rather than that of State high
way.
Another important improvement
at the chateau is the screening in
OF all verandas so as to provide
rerfect accommodations for luncheon
tea and dinner parties which are an
increasingly important portion of
the chateau custom. Later it is
planned to also screen the open-air
terrace which will soon be added
to the chateau accommodations.

FIGHT ON PACKERS
MERGER NEAR END
Decision Favorable to Ar
mour-Morris Consolidation
;4 Believed Reached.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Virtual dismissal of the complaint
against the so-called Armour Morris
merger of packing interests is under
stood to have been decided upon by
the Government.
The decision, which soon is to be
given by Secretary Jardine, was dis
cussed at today's cabinet meeting and
formal announcement is expected
soon. The point on which the de-
cision turned was whether there ac-
tuaIly had been an overt act in Vio-
lation of the law up to this time.
Attorney General Sargent was
asked by Mr.. Jardine for an opinion,
but replied that the dicision was up
to the Agricultural Department,
which is charged with administration
of the packers and stockyards law.
The late Secretary Wallace issued
the original complaint, which alleged
that the merger would result in
elimination of Morris & Co. from the
field OF competition and would tend
toward a monopoly. This allegation
the Armour and Morris interests
denied.
Under the procedure prescribed by
law, a complaint merely initiates
action and permits a hearing. An
order to cease and desiSt is necessary,
after hearing, before a merger can
be prevented.

SAN FRANCISCO. September IL
Contrasts marked the flights of the
PN-9 No. 1. Comdr. Rodgers and his
men started in an airplane and were
rescued by submarine. The speed
for the first two hours of the trip was
around 100 miles an hour; for the last
200 hours, less than five miles an
hour. Storms and high winds ex-
hausted the gasoline supply and left
their lives in danger. but after landing
the weather was almost all that could
be desired.
Food the first two days included
soup, coffee and chocolate. The last
four days nothing but water was
available. Perhaps the grimmest of
the contrasts, however, was the
ability of the men on the seaplane to
receive radio messages without being
able to send them-which enabled
them to hear themselves given up for
lost by council OF naval officers.

The seaplane was forced down by

supplies lasted five days. Rain water

of the seaplane saved their lives, the
men said.
A small still which Comdr. Rodgers

tions of the ribs of the seaplane
wings were burned under the spot
where the still was operated.
Ihe craft was able to pick up radio
messages, but not able to broadcast.
