On acccunt of the interest which the art loan exhibition at the old Corcoran Gal- Jery of Art has aroused, and especially since it was announced by the manage- ment that the funds raised by it would be turned over for the care of wounded sol- diers in the impending battles in Cuba be- tween United States troops and Spain forces, it has been decided to continue the exhibition for another week. It was the intention to close the exhibition last night with a promenade concert, but the success that attended the closing effort inspired the management to reverse its decision. A large crowd was in attendance last night, and the many beautiful works of art came im for # large share of praise and atten- , tion. The Marine Band confined itself al- Most ertirely to patriotic airs, and several times aroused enthusiasm to a high pitch, especially when “The Star Ban- ner” and “Dixie” were played. The excel- lence of the exhibition, taken in conjunc- tion with the laudable object for which it is now being held, should induce patriotic citizens to come forward for the remainder of this week in mest hearty support of it.

Entries, MR. PITNEY’S QUESTIONS er The subcommittee on appropriations con- dvcting the telephone inquiry reassembled this morning with Representative Grout in the chair. Mr. G. W. Harkins, the accountant wad has examined the books of the telephone company, was sworn and preceeded, at the request cf Judge Wilson, counsel for the telephone company, to relate his experi- ence as an accountent. He said he had made an examination of the books of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company at the instance of President Bryan. He had made an inyes- tigation of the earnings and expenditures of the telephone company in detail for two years. He had investigated the amounis expended for construction by the com- pany during its existence. Extent ef Examination. “How thoroughly did you make the ex- amination of 1896 and 1897?" asked Judge Wilson. “Thoroughly enough to know that the statements are correct.” “Are the exhibits and statements of your report accurate?” “They are,” replied Mr. Haskins. “Are the amounts on the books charged to construction account properly charged?” “They are; also the items charged to maintenance, operation and construction,” replied Mr. Haskins. Continuing, he sail there was no attempt at concealment in the books. Wilson questioned Mr. Haskins 28 experience with the ratio of ex- penses to earnings of corporaticns. Mr. Haskins said he had examined this question in the past, with reference to many corporations. ommittee suggested that this line dence was not material, and that the witness need not be questioned as to the ratio of earnings and expen: of railway with intent to apply the ratio peake and Potomac Telephone rilson stated the question again: uid be the ratio of the net to earnings of a corporation to suc- committee then decided to admit the question, but Mr. Haskins said he was not competent to answer the question. Change of Entries. Mr. Pitney then questioned Mr. Haskins. ‘In what manner did you change the distribution of entries on the books for 1895 and 1sv72" “In small particulars we charged to in- come account bad debts charged off. The cempary had chatged it to expense ac- count. In 1894 and 1895 we changed the Gistribution of earnings.” He said the net result was the same, to agree with the books, the diffcrence being in the dis- tribution. “How did make you your distribut nses of maintenance?’ is charged to maintenance We were obliged to rely upon information received from examination of the day book of the work. The superinten: keeps a daily record of the gangs of men and what they are employed upon. There were no other means of determining “what work was maintenance or to new construc- tion.” Upon closer questioning Mr. Haskins ad- mitted that werk which was in realiiy the laying of rew and additional cables was charged to the mainten: ‘e account. “Then, in that case, the company might miultipty the value of the plant three-fold and not charge it to construction account?” asked Mr. Pitney. Mr. Haskins said such a condition was possible. Fi Mr. Pitney called attention to the fact that the maint>nance charges for 1837 were unusualiy large, in fact, being double ‘nose of the previous year. Mr. Pitney asked if the charges to maintenance were not too large. Haskins thought that the c’ 2 not too high. Were the Charges Too High. Mr. Pitney said it was not a question of whether the work had been done, but whether the items were properly caarged to maintenance. Mr. Haskins said that bett>rments are an ennual charge and not an average charge. The extension of a line into a house, for instance, is a charge upon maintenance. If a corporation capitalizes every improvement that is put in, the syst2m will end in bank- rupt Some railroads have tried the plan and failed in it. Mr. Pitney sald the unusual charges to maintenance in 1807 seemed to indicate that items not properly chargeable to that ac- count had been so charged. Mr. Haskins held that such a conclusion not necessarily follow. A new conduit laid in 1887 and certain work which revented in 1806 by rules laid down by Commissioners had been performed in rges this point a recess was taken until 1 kk. District End Most Profitnble. After the recess Mr. Pitney resumed the qavestioning of Mr. Haskins, who said the books did not keep separate accounts for the Washington and Baltimore branches of the compa The earnings of the ex- changes, however, were noted upon a sep- arate book. Mr. Pitney, reviewing the figures, said that the District of Columbia business tor seven years showed that the District erd of the business is the most profitable. Mr. Haskins said this seemed to be ap- parent. Mr. Pitney showed that while the appar- ent earnings were about 7.87 per cent on the total capital, the acjmal earnings wou!d be more if construction account has been charged to the maintenance account. It was brought out that at all times since the organization of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, the Ameri- can Bell Telephone Company has held a majority of the stock. The afternoon sessior of the committee was devoted to questioning Mr. Haskins and President Bryan upon the financial statements heretofore submitted and pub- lished in The Star. 2 WAR CHART SUPPLEMENT. | On Thursday, the 28th, a hand- somely colored chart of the scene of the present naval operations will be issued as a supplement to The Star.

Narrow Escape for the Rescuer—He Tells His Own Story—Active Service Material. The following letter was sent to the Secretary of the Navy yesterday: “HEADQUARTERS U. 8S. MARINE CORPS, “PAYMASTER’S OFFICE, VASHINGTON, D.C., April 25, 1893. ir: i have the honor to inform the department of the rescue from drowning cf two persons, a men and a woman, along- side the wharf at Old Point Comfort, Va. yesterday, the 24th instant, at about 7 pm., by Lieut. Fidelio S. Carter, U.S.N While the passengers for the steamer Washington of the Norfolk and Washington line were passing on board a man and a woman fell overboard from the gang plank. Lieut. Carter, who wasya passenger, and on the salocn deck, immediately leaped overboard between the vessel and the wharf, between which there was only a feW fect of intervening space, and after a most heroic struggle under the water he Lrought the woman, io was drowning her companion, to the surface, the man clutching Carter as he struggled tor life, as also the weman, who clung tightly to him. Fighting the man away from him as best he could, he held the weman until other parti sid draw her from the weter, afterward assisting the man from the water also, thus adding another laurel to the wreath to which his gallant conduct has entitled him. “I am glad to add my appreciation of this | heroic action to that of the other pas- sengers who witnessed i The letter was an official statement, signed by Major Green C. Goodloe of the ne Corps, of the deed, as witnessed by A Modest Hero. As a matter of fact, the report was but a@ bare outline of an act of life saving which has seldom been equaled. The man who performed the gallant action is at present stopping at the Hotel Raleigh, where he was seen by a Star reporter this morning. He was at first disinclined to talk of the occurrence, but when he was told that a notification had been sent to the Secretary and that it would be made public anyway he modestly told of the part he had taken in the affair. The rescue was witnessed by probably a thousand persons, among whom were a number from Washington prominent in otti- cial and social circles. Senator Hanna was @ passenger on the boat, and Senator For- aker’s son was talking to Lieutenant Car- ter when he sprang overboard. The lieu- tenant told the story as follows: “I was standing on the upper deck with young Foraker watching the crowd rush- ing on the gang plank to the boat. All the rooms had been taken, I myself not having been able to get one, and the persons were evidently in a hurry so that they could manage to secure some, not knowing that they were already too late. My companion and I were looking down at the crowd. A lady and gentleman were walking out on the gang plank, which had no railings on the side. It seemed that the lady was to’ be left behind, and the gentleman only was to board the boat. He turned, hat in hand, to tell the lady good-bye, when he stepped off the side and cragged the lady down with him. There was but a few feet of space in- tervening between the boat and the dock. I had my hat box with me and overcoat. The only thought that possessed me was to try and save the two if possible. I did not realize that it was a dangerous undertak- ing. I sprang from the deck into the water, a distance of probably twenty-five feet. There was a strong flood tide, and I remem- ber seeing my hat bix floating up stream. It was dark at the time, but I could see the woman's hand sticking out of the water and clutching pathetically. I dived and caught her and the man. The tide swept us under the guards and I had to push my feet against the bottom to get clear. Narrow Escape. “When we came up near the dock I had them both, but the man nearly drowned me. I went under twice, and swallowed some water. I did rot lose my head throughout the occurrence. With the two hanging to me like lead, both unconscious, I finally found myself at the foot of tha dcck, with the crowd probably twelve feet above me. I tried to clutch hold of the slippery piles, but that did not’ assist me. “I yelled for some one to throw me a bowline, so that I might put it around ths arms of the two drowning persons and let them be pulled out of the water. No one | to go to one side, heeling the boat over so in the crowd appeared to have sufficient presence of mind to do what I asked, but some ons threw a bare rope over, about the thickness of a cigar. I grasped this, but it did little good, with the man weigh- ing about 160 pounds, on one side of me, end the woman, about 150, on the other. “ ‘Lower a boat, lower me a boat,’ I cried. “That is the only way we can be rescued.’ During this time I tried to hold one of the piles with my left arm, trying to cling to a pile. It was terribly cut on some rough laces. z: PeFortunately a boat with sailors from the Panther happened to be passing. -1 hailed them, told them I was an officer and Bon _ ss All Grocers. heard to good advantage in his solcs, In Fiji" personal experience in that out-of-the-way Part of the world.

When they reached me I told them that I could get the two into it. By ex- erting my shoulder muscles—a trick learned at school—I heaved them in. One of the sailors from the Panther's boat managed to fall overboard in some manner, and the boat left us two, I in as bad a predica- ment as before, in the water. I was almost exhausted when I at last reached a place of safety, after being in the water prob- ably fifteen minutes.” The lieutenant was taken on the boat aching in every muscle with his almost su- perhuman efforts. He had lost his watch and roll of bills he had in his pocket, he having been paid his salary a short while before. His clothes—a heavy suit—were souked through and through, his arms were scratched and bleeding, his cuffs were filied with hair from the head of the res- cued woman, and he was more dead than alive. But he had the proud consciousness of knowing he had acccomplished a daring deed, which few men would have attempt- ed, and that two persons owe their lives to him. At THE PALAIS ROYAL.
