PASSES
SIX D. c. BILLS

The Senate legislative mill again
ground out a substantial grist Of
District legislation last night.
The farmers market bill, re-
stricting the District Commission
ers to negotiating for a new site
to be approved by Congress, was
enacted, and goes to conference
with the House today. It stipu.
lated that the land purchase price
shall not be more than 100000.
The Rhode Island Avenue resi-
dents who have been fighting to
prevent a new heating plant for
Mckinley Manual Training High
School from being erected in front
Of their homes won their fight, so
far as the Senate is concerned, in
the passage of the Copeland bill,
which provides for consolidated
plant. There is little prospect that
this measure will pass the House
before adjournment.
The Van Wrinkle policewoman's
bill went down to defeat on objec-
ton of Senator King, as did that

deeds building and the purchase OF
the Patterson tract for park pur.

the promotion and retirement Of
Capt. w. H. Santelmann, leader Of

Only four Of these measures are
likely to be enacted at the present

the farmers market, the Santel-

the fourth being a routine measure

LOCAL PEOPLE ATTENDING
B. & o. RAIL PAGEANT
Fair of the Iron Horse Opened in
Baltimore Last Saturday

Several Oakland people have at
tended or expect to attend the
mammoth pageant of the Fair of the
Iron Horse, centenary exhibition and
pageant of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, which opened October "a, at
Halethorpe, Baltimore, and which will
continue until October Is. Over five
hundred people are required for the
personnel of the pageant.
1t was originally planned to hold
the pageant for two weeks, but the
immense crowds attending the exhibit
tion and the keen interest shown have
led railroad officials to believe that
extending the time limit another week
would give many more people an OPP
portunity of seeing the changes that
have taken place in 100 years.
The entire cast of the pageant in
GLIDING those charged with running
and taking care of the engines, is
made up of employees of the Baltimore
and Ohio, with the exception of those
engineers and fremen sent by other
railroads with their respective loco
motives. Those having various roles
in the pageant were taken from the
general offices of the Baltimore and
Ohio Each charter had to be meas
ured for costumes and trained in vari-
Gus rehearsals for the big parade. The
colorful, were made under the direc-
ton of Helene Hedian by the Balti-
more and Ohio employees who wear
them.
The director of the pageant, to
whom falls the huge task of super
intending and directing all the work
connected with the spectacle, is Mrs.
Adele Gutman Nathan, well known in
Little Theatre circles of Baltimore,
Washington and New York She is the
founder of the Vagabond Players of
Baltimore, associate director of the
Cellar Players of New York, and a
contributor of articles to the Balti-
more Post, New York Telegram, the
Delineator, Vogue and the Atlantic
Monthly
Charles Coburn, we'll known actor,
recites scenario of the pageant
which serves to introduce the various
episodes and periods as they appear
in the parade. The scenario, a nara
tive of the history of transportation
written in blank verse, is the work of
Margaret Talbot Stevens, associate
editor of the Baltimore and Ohio Mag
azine. Mr.. Coburn played the part of
Old Bill in "The Better Ole" at Ford's
Theatre in Baltimore in 1919. He and
his wife have appeared in numerous
dramas, such as "The Yellow Jacket"
"The Right Age to Marry" $50 This
is London 'and repertory of sixteen
Shakespearian plays. In 1910 they
took part in the historic pageant of
the Canterbury pilgrims It Gloucester,
Mass, at which President Taft was
present.
Arrangement of the various songs
and musical scores in the pageant is
being handled by DR.. Sigmund Spaeth,
who received his Ph.D. degree at
Princeton. DIR. Spaeth is a journal
list and music composer. He has con-
3ributed to the New York Times, Ev-
ening Mail, Boston Transcript and
various magazines.
