VIADUCT (Continued from First Page.) to build the viaduct entirely of masonry, In a series of segmental arches, springing frem seven-foot piers, without ny other solid interruptions to street travel, so that there could be almost perfect access from one side of the street to the other at all points on the line. e Accorting to the model, Nerth Capitol street, which is now completely blocked between C and E streets north, is to be opened through the masonry ‘yard by means of a tunnel cut from the present In- tersection of D street to a short distance beyond E street. Beyond C and streets North Capitol is to be cerried down @ moderate incline to reach the necessary level for the tunnel. F street and Massa- chvsetts avenue where they intersect the yard structure will be also tunneled. ‘These tunnels will be lighted by electricity. D street from New Jersey avenue to Delaware avenue is, according to the bill, a according to the modei shown yesterday, closed to traffic, as is also E street from near North Capitol street to Delaware avenue. The engineers of the road were particularly questioned in regard to the necessity of doing this, and Mr. Manning explained that It was deemed exceedingly dangerous to cause in- tersecting tur to be built under the yard structure. Accidents, he said, would frequently result from such a device, and ample access seemed to be afforded by these three tunnels provided between t! eust and west sides of the yard. In r gard to D street, he further explained that the model as drawn contemplated the use of the width of D street between North Capitol street and Delaware avenne for tracks to be rum to and perhaps into a government printing office, which, It was thought at the time the model was pre- pared, might be constructed on the square hocnded by North Capitol, C and D streets and Delaware avenue. | Since the con- iruction of the model, however, this plan kas been abandoned, so that {t will per- haps be possible to open D street between North Capitol street and Delaware avenue, wnaking a junction with the former street | phrase, ton, it would require a grade of nearly seventy feet. Tuis, he went on, was caused by the fact that the present line of the Metropolitan branch is considerably. higher by necessity than the present line of the 5 ston branch, and no amount ot cutting or grading could overcome this otstacle. In order to reduce the grade on this track, he said, it would be necessary to lower the present Metrepolitan track at the pcint of intersection and thus increa: in a reiative degree the grade on the Met- ropolitan branch going cut of town. Al- resdy, said Mr. Manring, trains on the Metropolitan brarch going out of town bound west often require the services of two engines,and if the grade were increased] beyond the presen: degree three might often be necessary. On the other hand, he explained, the rise of seventy feet from Ivy City to Eck- ington, made necessary by the difference in levels between the two branches, would recessitate a helper, ur second engine, on every train running into Washington ot more than the avera weight. At in- auguration times cr any other period of considerable migration to this city the read would be absolutely inhibited from attracting and caring for its share of the traffie and the result would be that the Pennsylvania railroad would do practically all of the business. As far es Washing- ton buriness {3 concerned, he declared, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company might as well shut up shop, to use his as to attempt the single viaduct system. “The single viaduct plan,” he explaine4 - ply means that we are to build a hill seventy feet high, which we shall be obliged to climb simply for the pleasure ef running dewn it again into the city. have sone ov= very foot of ground north of the boundai in the hope of finding scme solution of this puzzling problem, and I am cenvineed ihat unless we practically abondon all of the traffic from the north and east Into Washington the double via- notwithstanding its cost, Is a neces- Discussion ns to Grades. There was a discussion’ of some length between Major Powell and Mr. Truesde!l on the one hand and Mr. Manning on the other as to the actual grades that are to be found at the various points along the Sttnman 9, ay THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO COMPANY'S PLAN. ‘The heavy black Tine Indicates the routes of t at the southern opening of the tunnel un- der the yard. The company, he said, has no use for that area, which was included im the plan only at the suggestion that tracks might be needed in the square im- mediately south. Necessary Arches. The yard elevation, he further explained, would be accomplished by building a series of masonry arches, filled in solidly with earth, or perhaps an absolutely solid masonry construction might be deemed best ‘There was no fear, he added, that the enormous weight of the trains in the yard and the constant vibration could not be withstood by such a construction. The model did not show the entire route to be occupied by the viaduct. Accurding to the bill, it Is to follow Delaware avenue to a point just north of H street, where tha divergence Is to take place between the Metropolitan and Washington branches. The former will follow Delaware avenue to ‘M street, where it will turn slightly to the left, and following 2d street, will join the present route of the Metropolitan line just south of the Eekington yards. The Wash- ington branch will follow the present route along I street to 6th, end thence across the lots to the present entrance Into the city. at the southeast corner of the Deaf Mute College grounds. Mr. Manning explained yesterday that after the masoary corstruc- tion has been discontinued at the city line the tracks will be gradually brought down to the present grade on a solid earthen em- bankment, that will extend nearly through the Trinidad yards. Why Two Vinductst While the committee were srouped around the model listesing to Mr. Manning's expla- nation, Mr. Hamilton Interrupted him to say that the point that the committee and the citizens of Washington desired to have made absolutely clear was ‘he reasons that actuated the chief engineer of the railroad in providing for a double viaduct inside of the city, Instead of a single viaduct out Delaware avenue, with a branch to join the two tracks from Eci:ington to Ivy City. On this point Mr. Hamilton explained that many of the citizens of Washington had taken issue with the rallroad as to the pro- posed improvement, and he desired Mr. Manning to sive a full statement of the motives underlying the plans of the road. Mr. Manning replied that the whole prob- Jem hinged on a question of graces. In order to bring a connecting track, he sald, from Ivy City or that vicinity to the pres- ent Metropolitan tracks at or near Ecking- he proposed viaducts, the single dotted line the fonte peoposed by the Sherman bill, and the dou ble dotted lines the tracks to be ab don! lines proposed both in and out of the city. Mr. Manning insisted that the heavy pull up the grade of seventy feet, which he de- clared to be the lowest grade possible un- der the circumstances, weuld make a dif- ference of from eight to fifteen minutes in the run from Baltimore to Washington. In view of the fact that the company is spending nearly a quarter of a million dol- lars at Relay to save five minutes and has spent several millions at Bailti- more in constructing a tunnel to aitill further reduce the time from New just to permit the company to construct the extra viaduct, which did not involve a single grade crossing inside the city of Washington, to avold a practically pro- hibitive grade. . According @ the model, the first grade crossing on the Metropolitan Branch will be at about R street. Mr. Truesdell per- sisted that this was a great thoroughfare, and thought it should be protected in some way. Mr. Manning said that the company would undoubtedly protect these crossings. New York avenue will be carried under the viaduct, but it will be necessary, perhaps, por rata the present grade of the street a The viaduct on Delaware avenue from the yard to the divergence of the branches just beyond H streat will contain five tracks, while each of the branch viaducts from that point onward will contain two, the extra track being added on the main stem. It is probable that a “Y¥" will be erected, on masonry, of course, to join the two branches just above I street on the Motropolitan Branch, being a Uttle north of the present “Y.” Loop System Impracticable. Attenticn was called to, one of the other models in the room, which showed a yard constructed on the “loop system, which Was proposed early in the preparation of designs for this improvement. Mr. Man- ning explained that this plan had been abandoned shortly after it was formulated into a model, for it was found that, with- out the confiscation of a much larger arca than the road could afferd, the loop would have to be drawn on so short a radius that it would be impossible to couple the cars. The model shown gave a loop on a 370-foot radius, which was so sharp that the Jan- rey couplers on use on most of the passen- ser coaches could not be operated. The re- sult would be that trains would have to be made up by means of ropes and cars hauled back and forth by switch engines, making a maximum of noise and confusion with a minimum of comfort and convenience. In. ef. these Giscoyeries the loop was long ego abandcned and the company decided to construct a yard on the “in and out“ principle. = The question arose in the discussion as to the future utHity of the two great yards now established at Trinidad on the east side and Eckington on the west. Mr. Man- ning explained that it was the intention of _ the railroad to maintain these yards as | heretofore. ,and to enlarge them if neces- | Sary. The present location of the Ecking- j ton yard, he showed, necessitated a slight | divergence froma the route of the Metro- } politan branch, as laid down in the pending bill. The measure proposes a viaduct straight out Delaware avenue until the present tracks are met, but Mr. Manning’s design calls for a viaduct to the intersec- | Hon of 2d street and Delaware avenue, af- ter which point 2d street is followed until ) the branch tracks as at present laid down are encountered. This, the chief engineer explained, is necessitated by the fact that to follow Delaware avenue straight out to i the intersection of the Metropolitan branch tracks would leave the Eckington yard south of the junction and would make It necessary to back down into it from the north, whereas now it can be reached from { either end. The same difficulty stood in the way, he said, of going considerably back into the country on the Washington branch to make % junction between the two branches, as proposed by the Sherman bill. It might be possible, he admitted, to make such a junction and avoid the exceptional grade. er countered nearer the city, but this would necessitate the complete abandonment of the Trinidad yard with its. great round- house,-for that yard would be merely. a 5 oa of tracks with access from but one er The Trip Home. By the time these explanations were made the party were summoned to board the train for- Washington. Here Messrs. Addicks and Bent made their adieus. ‘The run ck to this city was made in quick tim® and at Baltimore Messrs. Man- ing and Pratt left the train. From Balti- more to Washington supper was served in the car, and this city was reached at 7:55 o'clock. Or the way back the several members cf the Senaic District committee, who were present expressed themselves to The Star reporter as being satisfied that the railroad compeny was sincere in its proposition to abolish the grade crossing nuisance by establishing a splendid modern terminal system in this city. It was conceded that the railroad company is now somewhat eni- barrassed financially by the receivership and other difficulties that surround it, but it wes pointed out by the members of the cemmittee that the bill now pending pro- vides for the incorporation of a term‘nal company that is to undertake the work ef constructing the viaduct and yard. This will enable the company to make the im- provement, it is thought, without going in- to the market as the Baltimore and Oho Railroad Company to borrow money for thls purpose and, as has been the case in many such enterprises in other cities, the terminal company may be composed of members of the Baltimore ard Ohlo cor- ‘oration, so that the two bodies can work harmoniously together for the rapid prose- cuticn of the work. Estimated Cost. The plans and details for the entire con- struction are to be submitted to the Sec- retary of War, and, through him, to the chief of engineers for apprcval, and the entire improvement is to be carried out under the supervision of these officials. The bill provides a penalty of $100 a jay for every day of delay beyond the time Umit provided by the bill, which has been accepted by the railroad company as rea- sonable. The Star reporter yesterday en- deavored to learn the probable cost of the whole improvement, but could obtain only two general estimates, widely divergent. Mr. Manning said that he had not yet fig- ured with any degree of closeress the prob- able expense, hut he thought the entire work could be done for $2,000,000. On the other hand Mr. Hamilto., local counsel for the railroad compan ald he believed the work would cost upward of $4,000,000. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT The Commissioners Report on the Eck- ington Extensioa Bill. Without Change of Cars—Objectiogs to Portions of the Route— Other Local Notes. The Commissioners today made a report upon the bill to extend the route of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company and of the Belt Railway Com- pany in the District of Columbia. The re- port says: “In the present operation of the Ecking- ton railway a change of cars is made on its chartered main line at Florida avenue; a second change of cars, although not a necessary one, is made on the ma‘n line at 5th and G streets. “It is believed, when the motive powér of the Eckington road is changed, as con- templated by section 1 of the bill, that its cars should be run through from’ the ter minus at 15th and G streets to Brookland, or at least to the power house on T street, and it is therefore recommended that the words ‘and the Eckington anZ Soldiers’ Home Railway Company shall run cars through from the terminus at 15th and G streets to T and 4th streets,’ be added after the word ‘line,’ in line 6, page 2, of the bill. Referring to applications made by the company for extens‘ons, the report says: “In view of the failure of the company to operate existing branches the Commission- ers hesitate to recommend any additional extension, notwithstanding the apparent ity of granting this company further privileges in order to secure a satisfactory service on lines which it does operate in Washington.” An extension of the Kelt railway into Le Droit subdivision, as cont2mplated In sec- tion 4, ‘’s advantageous for the pubiic, but the route for double tracks, as stated in the bill, the Commissioners consider ob- jectlonable. “The Commissioners are not able to rec- ommend the proposed Eckington extension on 8th and 7th streets east, but suggest two alternative’ routes for ‘reaching the Navy Yard.” . a Legislative Appropriation BIN. The conference report on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was presented to the Senate today. The principal disagreement between the two houses was on the salaries of the United States marshals and district attorneys, which the Senate fixed at generally higher figures than did the House. The report shows that the House figures prevatled in the conference in all except a few in- stances —___-+o-_______ Restriction of Tuberculosis, Phystelans and philanthropists are sup- pesed to exhaust every effort to reduce the mortality of disease and wipe out the so- called incurable maladies, and with advanc- Ing ages it has always been hoped that tuberculosis would be less frequently met with and improved sanitary methods would restrict that disease, but Mr. Lawrence Ir- well, from a sociological point of view, asks, in the Dtetetic and Hygienic Gazette, if it is desirable to exterminate the bacillus tuber- culosis. He holds that the fittest should sur- vive and the weakest should go to the wall, and rather than raise up and keep alive by constant struggle and watchfulness those who have been attacked by tuberculosis, or who are prone to it, to let them die out, and thus prevent a tainted offspring. His argu- ment is that the bacillus tuberculosis is a selective agent, and is a friend of the race, for It carries off the unfit. Until the com- munity chooses to do its own selecting by exercising some controi over the marriages of the unfit, the world cannot dispense with the beneficent services of this micro-organ- ism. —_3_+ e+ More Than Home Comforts.

A Nowy Aiqbeory. Coroner Hammett was this afternoon se- riously cons‘dering the proposition to have the eyes of the murdered girl photographed. There is an old theory that the eyes of a murdered person 'rétain on the retina the image of the person’ who was last seen by the unfortunate. It*is generally admitted that the theory has never amounted to anything outside of sensational fiction, but the coroner thought that it might be worth trying. 2 In the Sullivan case in Paterson, N. J., some months ago, the experiment was tried, but .without success. All the nega- tive showed was a dim shadow, that might have been almost anything. There was nothing to make one believe that it had anything to do with the appearance of the last person that unfortunate girl saw be- fore she was killed. In the present case there fs even less Ukelihood of a photograph showing any- thing of stgnificznce, even if a photograph could be taken. The eviderce shows that Elsie Kreglo did mot expire for at least Outside the Station. several minutes after her throat was cut, and in that time she probably saw her mother and sister hurrying toward her while she was standing up in the shallow stream. She certainly saw the colored man, William Thomas, for she called to him for help, Ton, Saunders, the colored man who was arrested yesterday morning near the Soldiers’ Home, is still behind closed doors, but with the appearance of the For theory less importance is attached to his arrest.

He was found in bed, but tully dressed and with his shoes near by, as if he “ An Examination. thought he might have cccasion to leave ‘home in a hurry and om the. shortest no- tice. & Beverly is the unfortunate poss or of a bad name. It is his own fault, however, for he has earned it by untirimy attention to ways that are dark. He has served one term in the penitentiary on ihe charge! of assaulting an elderly white woman on jhe Brightwood road. A couple of months ago he was on trial in the Crigvimal Court, charged with highway robbery. The com= plainant against him was an clderly white man by the name of Harrington, who was knocked down and robbed last winter near Eckington. It was thought that the evi- dence against Beverly was conclusive, but the jury did not seem to think so, and Beverly was acquitted. When taken to the station this morning Beverly was unable to give a very good account of himself, and failed to satisf: the police as to his whereabouts ow the afternoon the murder was committed. The back of his coat was wet, as if it had been recently washed, and he falieréd and stam- mered when asked how it was spotted in such a manner. A thorough search of the prisoner was made, but nothing further was developed. The police had reason to belleve that he was somewhere in the neighborhood of the crime Monday atter- noon, and it was decided best to hold him for a further examination. ‘The Suspicious Stnins. The coroner's inquest which was started yesterday morning was adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning At that hour Beverly was at the sixth prec'nct station house in custody. There was not very much in the way of evidence against him, but Dr. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner, was on hand, and as he is an expert in the use of ihe microscope, It was decided tg make an exaraination of Beverly’s coat. A’ piece was cut out of the back where the stain was deepest, and this was Immersed in water. Dr. Hammett Wxamines the Stain. Tee A drop of the water was then placed on the slide, and after studying it carefully for a minutes ‘Dr. Glazebrook an- nounced that there: was no doubt in his mind that the stain. was at least thirty-six hours old—how much older he cayld not way—and that the mark was undoubtedly made by blood. Beverly was then remand- ed to custody. Inquest Postponed. At. 11 o'clock thig. morning, the hour set for the inquest, which was adjourned yes- terday afternoon at 2 o’clock, there was a tremendous crowd around the sixth pre- cinct station, made up of men, women and children, all anxious to catch a glimpse of any of the proceedings, or to hear something of the details of the hearing. Beyond the fact thet two or three. colo! men were brought in as suspects, they were disap- pointed, but they hung around for an hour EY or more in the hope that something might happen. Coroner’Hammett wag on hand promptly at the hour set, ready to go on with the in- vestigation, and the expectation was that little Belva Kreglo would. be put upon the stand to tell the story of her encounter with the colored man Monday morning. Inspector Hollinberger, howeyer, had be- come convinced by this time that the clve Beverly. which pointed toward Ford was the one that had best be worked of, and he held a whispered conversation with the coroner, in the course of which he asked that the inquest might go over until such time as he would have something definite to bring before the jury. As there was no other ev- idence of any importance today, the coro- ner announced that the inquest would be postponed indefinitely, and that he would call the jury together again whenever their services might be needed. A few minutes later John Beverly was brought into the room and briefly exam- ined. Although it 1s rather an unusual proceeding, the publig was allowed to enter the building, and the result was that there was a tremendous pressure for admittance, and the little room in which the suspect was kept was packed like a sardine box. It was then that the piece of cloth was cut from his coat. Dr. Glazebrook had a fine microscope with him and with it he pro- ceeded at once to make the examination which convinced him that there were blood marks on the garment. A number of sug- gestions were made by the police and out- siders as to what ought to be done, and for a time it looked as though the case might resolve itself for the time being into a scientific examination of clothing, foot- prints, blood stains and the like. A warrant for the arrest of the supposed murderer of Elsie Kreglo was issued by the warrant clerk at the Police Court today and taken out to Montgomery county by the officers who are engaged in the search. The police officials positively declined to disclose the name of the party for whom the warrant was Issued. There is every reason to believe, however, that the paper bore the name of Irving L. Ford. If Ford should be arrested near Burnt Mills or anywhere outside of the District Ine, he will probably be taken at once to the jail at Rockville and his removal to this city might be delayed somewhat by the necessity of taking ou: extradition pa- pers. This formality would not occupy much time, and the less time it would take the better the prisoner would probably like it, for the people of Montgomery county are decidedly worked up over the tragedy and should they become ecnvinced that Ford is the right man there is ground for believing that they might attempt to take the law into their own hands and save the criminal courts of the District the time and expense involved in a trial. The body of Elsie Kreglo was taken away yesterday afternoon from the morgue, where it had lain stretched out on a slab since tne-night before. It was taken to an undertaker's stop and made to look as preseytable as possible for the funeral, the details of which have not yet been arranged. The Father's Condition, Isaiah Kreglo, the father of the murdered srl, who, as stated in The Star yesterday, Was overcome by the shock of the tragedy, Was removed to the Emergency Hospital tor treatment, and is still unable to leave his bed. It was thought at one time that he would die before he left the station house, but on his arrival at the hospital he was given stimulants and the best of med- ical treatment and late in the afternoon it Was given out that he would probably pull through. Late this afternoon a Star re- borter called at the hospital and was tohi that Mr. Kreglo was holding his own and doing as well as could be expected. Yes- tercay afternoon it was thought he was suffering from acute congestion of the brain, caused by the excitement attending the crime. It was after 3 o'clock this morn— ing before the ph: jans were able to re- store him to consciousness. Mrs. Kreglo and her other daughters are ail prostrated by the shock of the tragedy and it will be many a day before the little family recov- €rs at all from the blow. The scene of the murder has been the mecca for hundreds of people. All day yes- terday and today the roads leading to the spot have been thronged with vehicles, bieyelists and pedestrians and every foot of ground tn the neighborhood of the scene of the tragedy has been tramped over by people curious to see and learn everything they can In that way of a crime which has shecked the community and aroused the people of this city to a point of indignation seldom reached. HUNTING FOR FORD. Montgomery County Being Scoured for the Murderer. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. SILVER SPRING, Md., May 6—When it became known here last night that Irving Ford was wanted for the murder of Miss Kreglo tke county officers volunteered to tesist the Washington officers in the search for the fugitive. Constable Sam Jones, who Was with Detectives Horne and Weedon last night, continued the search after the Washington officers returned home, and it was reported here this afternoon that he succeeded in capturing his man. This re- port, however, could not be verified. A col- ored woman down near Forest Glen states that Ford's wife told her of her husband's arrest, but it is generally thought that the rumor resulted from the appearance of the detectives in this vicinity today. Half a dozen detectives from Washington are in the county, and the man’s capture this afternoor is thought certain. Arrange- ments have been made to trap him at 2 o'clock where he has been promised work and a hiding place, so it is stated, and the officers have gone to the farm where he ts to appear. Should he be arrested he may be taken to Rockville to be turned over by the court to the Washington authorities. Later._SILVER SPRING, Md., May 6.-- Irwin Ford, the supposed murderer, had not been apprehended up to 3 o'clock to- day, iut Detectives Horne and Weedon and Constable Sam Jones of Montgomery county are secreted in the dense woods rear Ford’s house on the Ruppert farm, vatching for his return to his home. If Ford is not caught before tomorrow morning, a posse will be crganized to scour the woods, where he is believed to be secreted, and in case he is caught by such a body of men there are chances that sum- mary measures will be taken with him, as the people throughdut this section are very much excited and wrought up over the dastardly deed committed Monday, and would not wait in all probability for abso- lute proof against Ford, when his unusual and suspicious conduct is taken into con- sideration. ——___ ONE DOLLAR DAMAGES, The Sum Awarded for Alienation of a Wite’s Affections.
