to a speed of 10 to IL miles an hour
at the crossing.
Former Attorney General william
Preston Lane, counsel for trainmen,
questioned Miss Funk at length re-
garding the manner in which Line ap-
preached several railroad crossings
passed by the bus on the trip to COL
lege Park.
She declared under Lanes cross
to q full stop at any of the crossings,
and did not open the bus door, but did
slow down considerably.
Lane later told newspaper men dur
ing brief recess of the court that the
Williamsport School Board requires
the drivers Of its school busses to
come to complete halt at all rail-
road crossings and open their door to
listen for the approach Of trains.
On q question by Pugh Miss Funk
stated she selected Line to drive the
bus because Of his excellent record.
She also denied knowing that Line
was fined 500 in 1923 for failure to
reduce his speed at an intersection,
that he was again convicted and fined
IS in 1924, and that he figured in an
accident in March of this year.
Malcolm Collier, high school senior,
who escaped injury in the wreck,
followed the teacher to the witness
stand.
Questioned by Pugh, the student
said he heard neither q whistle nor
a bell from the locomotive and also
told the court that, as far as he
could recall, there was no window
on the bus open at the time Of the
crash.
CToes-examined, the youngster as
serted SO far as he could recall Line
did not make q complete stop ut the
crossing, but simply slowed down to
between 10 and IS miles an hour.
He denied seeing a red lantern at
the crossing.
Pugh asked Collier If any one in
the bus made any outcry before the
train hit the bus.
mo, SIR" he answered. William
Joseph Collier, Malcolms brother, who
was seated in the third row Of seats
behind the driver, bore out the stories
Of Miss Funk and his brother that
those in the bus heard no warning
signal from the train.
Asked by Lane If the windows were
steamed up," William answered:
eyes, sir; little bit"
Three Others On Stand.
Three other youthful survivors Of
the wreck took the stand before the
luncheon recess. They were Glenn
Anderson, Albert Leaf and Onward
Eugene Hose.
Anderson, who was sitting on the
first seat on the right hand side Of
the bus, said that for q mile or 30
before the bus reached the crossing
versation at ell" among the students.
Like the other witnesses, Anderson
said he heard no warning signals
from the train. Leaf, son Of the Will
Transport undertaken, who handled
the bodies Of the IL crash victims,
said he saw no red lantern at the
crossing and heard no signal Of the
trains approach.
Gould whistle have sounded and
you not hear it?" Attorney Lane asked.
81 don't think So" the youth re-
sponded. =.
Hose said the windows Of the bus
were sprinklsd lightly with rain On
the outside and misted by steam on
the inside. He insisted, however, that
Lines windshield wiper was working.
Asked whether he heard any warn
ing signal Hose said:

SPAN PLANS GIVEN
HOUSE COMMITTEE
Public Utilities Subgroup
Considers Two Bridges
and Underpass.

Plans for construction Of two new
bridges and m underpass at, the
tracks Of the Baltimore & Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroads In the area
between Florida avenue and Bladens-
burg read northeast were described
today to the Public Utilities Subcom-
mittec Of the House District Com
mittee.
The committee had under con-
sideration two bills authorizing the
railroads to construct the bridges and
the underpass. One Of the meas
ures, supported by the Commissioners
and the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, provides for
q bridge over the railroad tracks con-
Meeting Brentwood road and Mount
Olivet road, and an underpass link.
ing Rhode Island avenue ct Four.
teenth street northeast with West vir.
ginia and New York avenues.
New Yefk Avenue Bridge.
The other bill. sponsored by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, authorizes q
bridge over New York avenue in the
vicinity Of West Virginia avenue, to
carry tracks to proposed railroad sid
ings In q 35-acre section, where q
number Of new warehouses are to be
erected.
Thomas 8. Settle Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion, and Engineer Commissioner
Daniel I. Sultan explained the bill
authorizing the bridge and the under
pass, pointing out that these projects
would replace three proposed bridges
which the railroads were required to
build In the Washington Terminal act
Of 1908. Sultan said that two cross
ings instead Of three would meet
present needs and at the same time
save the District some maintenance
cost. The railroads under the bill
would bear the cost OF construction Of
the bridge and the underpass.
Sultan Offers Amendment.
Commissioner Sultan, however, sug-
gested an amendment to require the
railroads to pay the cost Of roadway
and sidewalk construction, estimated
at $4,000. H. E. Stephenson Of the
legal department of the Pennsylvania
Railroad objected to the proposed
amendment on the ground that 1t was
not In accord with . verbal agreement
the railroads had with the Commits
sioners.
Estimates given the committee
showed that the bridge and underpass
would cost approximately 1851, 600.
The Pennsylvania Railroad did not
furnish an estimate of the cost of the
second bridge to carry its tracks into
the proposed warehouse siding area.
Stephenson explained that this bridge
would be Of no expense to the District,
although the plans would have to be
approved by the Commissioners.

followed the local exhibitions closely
for the past few years will find In
these current exhibitions many old
favofites. On the other hand q note
worthy feature ID the number OF new
and unfamiliar names to be found
among the artists listed. The cult
of the ugly is. as usual, today gener-
ously represented, and one finds not
. little evidence of hospitality toward
what Is efroneotlsly styled the "Amer-
icsn primitive" which In reality is
nothing more than childish iinita-
ton Of the immature. There is en-
phasis on the subjective and at the
same time room made for those who
attempt abstract expression. That the
public, which still looks to art for
interpretations Of beauty, is increas-
ingly bewildered, there Is no doubt.
When asked to explain, II he could

ceived an award, an employe In one
Of these improvised galleries, dis

concerning personal liking, he ad.

 George and Jimmy Lord have ben entered in the Idylwood junior tennis tourney at the last minute. Little George, the tiny-mite of the east end courts, is the junior champion at Hamilton park and he is expected to give plenty of trou- ble to the rest of the field now that he is entered.

Rumoys And Reality Gathered From This Sporting World

Hearts Need a ''Break"

Most of those discussing the chances of the Sacred Hearts in the national amateur baseball tournament were pretty well agreed that the starting chances of the local champions depend a great deal on the well known luck of the draw" Should they be pair ed up with a team of the calibre of the Cleveland ROsenblums, as they were last season, nothing short of a baseball miracle will get them across a winner of their first game tomorrow afternoon. Rosenblums won from the Hearts 3-1 last year, then went on to win the championship. However, of 22 teams entered 1t does seem, as if the Hearts are due to draw an outfit that they have a chance of knocking over in their first shot at the 1885 national cham pionsbip.
