One man was badly beaten and an- other is believed to have been shot in a fracas on the Mariboro pike near Forestville, Md., a few miles below the District line last night, when some 20 megroes are alleged to have attacked a group of white men gath- ered at the scene of an automobile accident. Monroe Woodley of Alexandria was brought to Emergency Hospital and treated for cuts and bruises, said to have been infticted by the negroes and ong of the colored men is re- ported to have been seen to stagger away from. the scene after pistol shots were fired. According to the story told by Wood- ley, he was driving in an automobile with L. E. Timberlake of Petomae, Va. and Fred Carl of Alexandria, when the machine collided with an: ather car. In the smash-up, a girl in the latter car was injured. A crowd gathered and an automobile drove up with four negroes, reported to have been intoxicated. Woodley declares they were told to move on and left, threatening to come back and “get somebody,” The injured girl had been placed in a passing machine and started for Washington, he said, when two automobiles containing about 20 colored men sped up, the” octupants leaped out and started a general fight with the men about, the wrecked ma- chine. Woodley days he was kchocked home and obtained a revolver. fired into the air, he said, and the stagger as the which dashed away. The sheriff at Brandywine was notl- fied and rushed two deputies to the scene, but at an early hour today no arrests had heen reparted.

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.—One man was trampled to death and more than half a hundred were injured to- day when part of the flooring on the first-base side of the lower grand- stand of the Philadelphia National League Base Ball Park collapsed. The accident occurred in the first half of the seventh inning while St. Louis was at bat. The collapse threw the crowd into a panic, and it swarmed on the field, necessitating the umpires to end the game with the score 12 to 3 in favor of Philadelphia. The collapse threw 300 persons from their seats into a huddle of struggling humanity. The floor did not fall to the ground, 10 to 15 feet below, but sagged, throwing the spec- tators into a mass. Later it broke open and many fell through to the ground. Man Trampled to Death. . The man kflled, who was not imme- diately identifled, was at first belleved to have died from heart disease, as he showed no apparent injuries. An ex- amination at a hospital, - however, caused doctors to express the opinion that death was caused by being tram- pled upon. Ambulances from half a dozen hospitals in North Philadelphia were stagtly sulamoned; and nearly :60 persons were taken to the fnstitu- tfons. - Tonight less "than a dozen remained for treatment, all others having been discharged. More than g\"fl score were treated by physicians the bail park. ‘Many others’ who were slightly hurt went to their homes for treatment. * About 10 rows of seats for a dis- tance of 50 feet were involved in the collapse, leaving a large hole about 10 rows back from the front of the stand. Joyous Fans Blamed. [ The collapse is believed to have been due to the weakening, .of the supports when the crowd stamped their feet and jumped up and down ih Philadelphia’s half of the sixth inning when the home team scored § runs in a batting rally. The settling of the stand was not perceptible until the first half of the seventh inning. At first there was a slight movement, and a quick rush of spectators from the affected part caused the floor to collapse and break open. Hundreds of men and boys jumped over the low railing into right fleld, and the game was immediately stopped. There were cries of *“Stop pushing,” but the excited spectators kept in motion and caused more of the floor to collapse. — J.

The vital need to extend the protec- tion furnished to the public by the pasteurization of milk to combat wide- spread disease was emphasized yes- terday at the inaugural session of the forty-second annual meeting of the Conference of State and Provincial Health _Authorities in the boardroom of the District Building. Dr. 8. J. Crumbine of the American Child Health Association stated that an incomplete survey in this country and Canada showed that more than 2,000 cases of disease were traced to raw milk during the past year, and § per cent of all typhoid fever was con- tracted from infected milk. Dr. James A. Tobey, scientific con- sultant of the Borden Co., recapit- ulated court decisions on pasteuriza- tion to prove that health authorities had repeatedly been upheld in regu- lations aimed to control such spread. Dr. G. C. Lake, .surgeon, nited States Public Health Service, pre- sented a paper on Malta’ fever and contagion, in the absence of Miss Alice C. Evans of the same service, who Is aflicted with the very same disease she is studying—another example of martyrdom to science. Theory Refuted. This report showed that Malta fever can be spread by cows’ milk and not exclusively by the milk of infected goats as had been the theory in the past. Considerable hilarity was caused by the heated discussion on the advis- ability of the retention of cuspidors in Pullman cars. A recent decision of Dr. T, R. Crowder, Pullman Co. sanitarian, to dispense with them aroused opposition, especially among those representing the tobacco culti- vating States. A specimen cuspidor proved a ready exhibit both for the prosecution and the defense. A motion finally was passed to table the matter until the next convention. The standardization of the quaran- tine regulations was urged by Dr. George H. Bigelow, State commission- er of health of Massachusetts. He pointed out the wide divergence of preventative practice in the several States and the unnecessary disagree- ment in sanitary codes. Dr. Bigelow spoke of the eagerness to seek the re- spective loopholea of t! law as a “clam-gobbling pollutio; The Shepherd-Towner act for the subsidy of rural nurses, described as ‘ministering angels,” toward the ald of maternity and infant hygiene, was indorsed anew by the conference, following the initiative of Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Virginia State health commissioner. Cites Flood Relief. The preparedness of the American Canadian health departments for daily needs as well ‘emergen- cles is stressed by the efficlent or- ganization of the county health units in the present flood relief crisie, Dr. Arthur McCormick, State health officer of Kentucky, pointed out. A centralized control of health ad- ministration was urged by Dr. L. L. Lumsden, surgeon, ‘United States g&htl.lc Health SQ;VIOO, together with subsidy of fulltime ul health work. b i “The coaference went on’ record as favoring a recent advisory report of the American Railway Association suggesting means for the disposal of mnnsvu dying'on trains in transit, ich recommended decisions in a variety of circumstances most com- patible with the individual situation as it arisea.

Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, made a final drive on President Coolidge yes- ferday for eppointment of Wy A. Haynes as permanent prohibition com- missioner, but the fact he spent an hour in the President’s office was taken to mean he was unsuccessful in his arguments, Mr. Coolidge apparently has decided to heed Secretary of the Treasury Metlon and bring about a “new deal” in prohibition enforcement. The ap- pointment of a commissioner is ex- pegted early next week and Acting Commissioner Haynes is believed to be out of the running. This was indicat- ed when Mr. Wheeler put in the pro- test that “You can reorganize the pro- hibition department enough to kill its éffectiveness.” 4 —_— There are nearly a million more un- married women than helors in e Ll bachela NEW DIRECTOR OF TRAFFIC TO TAKE OFFICE TOMORROW William H. Harland to As- sume Reins Without Pre- conceived Ideas on Post. Radical Changes Unlikely, as Engineer Is Calm and | Deliberate. BY WILLIAM ULLMAN. ‘When William H. Harland . takes office tomorrow as director of traMe f of the District of Columbia, local mo- tordom will feel no particular reper- cussion. Nor s it likely to feel the effects of any sudden and radical de. parture from normal as a result of Mr. Harland’s acquisition of his new post. There may be changes in the regulations from time to time. Un- doubtedly there will be, for traffic codes, like everything else, must keep pace with progress. But there will be no sudden and startling ~variation from present practice. For, Mr. Harland is a calm and de- liberate man. He takes his new posi- tion with no preconceived panaceas for moving the National Capital's traffic stream with greater speed or greater safety. While making no pre- tense of being a traffic expert or even a particularly keen student of trafic Mr. Harland takes his new post with a full consciousness of the magnitude of the tasks it imposes. Has Valuable Assets. In addition to approaching his task with a calm, _decisive engineering- trained mind, Mr. Harland brings to it several other particularly valuable assets upon which local motorists and pedestrians may look with assurance. ‘Among these is the fact that he has been driving a ecar in Washington for 13 years. Thus, he knows the history of Washington traffic by actual experience throughout most of its formative years. ! city’s trafic regulations grow from virtually nothing to their present stature. He knows the present regu- lations from the street user’s view- point. And. he says unhesitatingly that he has found them, in the main, quite sdtisfactory. At no time, has he had any difficulty in understand- ing and abiding by them. Judged by rather rigorous stand- ards, Mr. Harland is a good motorist. He' thinks that common sense and courtesy are two vital qualifications of the good driver. He does not believe in taking chances merely because the law would give one an edge in any case based on chancetaking on the street. For instance, he, himself, would not go out of his way to dispute with another driver over the right of way. In other words, although he does mot say it just that way, Mr. Harland thinks deeply enough to real- ize that it always takes two cars to make a collision. Safety With Speed. Undoubtedly his railroad training is responsible for this attitude, Mr. Harland comes to the traffic director’s office from ' the Interstate Commerce ?;mx}hlbu?, wh:n he has been a nal engineer for many years, and zhm the "n!oty-flm" thought. ever unt. ut, and the motorist may count on this, Mr. Harland is accustomed to thinking in terms not of safety alone, but of safety with speed. Rallroa training, again perhaps but & definite advantage to Mr. Harland as director of traffie in a large city in which traf- fic cannot remain Bottled up in a small area without becoming danger- ous to itself. Fast trains may hit harder, but slow ones hit much 'more often. Mr. Harland knows this—and knows it well. He will not apply this knowledge in the form of higher speed limits. But, it makes him agree, at least, with the present higher speed limits and the trend toward even more rapid movement of traffic where it serves the interests of e Another attribute of Mr. Harland upon which local trafic may count is his obviously keen sense of revealed in a decidedly informal inter- view with him prior to his “taking up the reins where Mr. Eldridge dropped “Geovernment by Couference.” o does not believe in anap ments under any drc’um:unm“d& cause they may be hurtful to some in- dividual or some group.” Hi he will act slowly. He belioves ernment by conference.’ n any particular rmq comes up, he will confer with those interested. This ‘will be his plan of action regardless of whether the question is ene of a per- mit revocation or the-abolition of park- ing in the business district. When he knows the facts, Mr. Harland will act. Whether Mr. Harland will act de- cisively ia a question time will answer, although one may hazard the guess that the answer will be affirmative. That he will act deliberately one may know in advance. As a result, the motorist who expects to see the traffic lights on Sixteenth street suddenly start dancing 2 jig, or ta see the speed limits radically altered upward or downward as a result of hig tal office is doomed to disappointment. As a motorist, Mr. Harland has driven by the traffic lights on Six. teenth street since they were installed. He approves of them. As a motorist, he has driven 22 miles in the 22.mile speed zones and 30 miles in the 30- :‘cll":mll On the basis of his ex- lence, he sees no reason wi these limits should be revised. e Fairly Strict Enforcement. He h made left turns lights which involve two ato:.u a%’ as a_motorist, he regards this system as effective though not simllar to that practiced in many other citles. Driv- ing around the city, Mr, Harland has stopped at streets ints with boulevards and arterial highways., He T S £ ribu to t! > IloAnnerllly. e " s 8 every other motorist has dore, he has parked in the shepping dldl:rl:t where half-hour or one-hour parking Do You Buy Safe Butter? The Milk Law of the District of Columbia insures a first-class supply, in this city, of Milk and Cream, but it does not guard against infected Butter made of unpasteurized Cream. We advise house- holders when buying Butter to ask for such which is made of pasteurized Cream an marked on the container. it possible has it so The Department of Agriculture has positive proofs that when Butter is made of raw cream from infected Milk containing disedse germs, like typhoid or tubercu- losis, these germs remain alive and virulent in the butter for a number of months. and all Such butter is d gerous for children, invali those whose resistance 1s reduced by lack of proper care. Nobody knows how much disease has in the past been caused by infected butter. WILLIAM H. HARLAND. prevails. He ls satisfied that this regulation, fair or unfair, should be enforced if for no other reason than that it is the law. But, although he does not ‘say so, Mr. Harland prob- ably belleves in the fairness of the present parking regulation: It is believed that Mr. Harland will be something of a stickler for law enforcement, whether it applies to reckless disregard of the boulevard stop signs,or the comparatively mild over-time parking violation. He ap- parently Js convinced that any regu- lation that is right needs fairly strict enforcement and one that is unsound should be discarded altogether rather than be left to die through a process of nullification. School Children’s Safety. Whi apparently without any fetishes, Mr. Harland seems espe- clally keen on some phases of the trafic subject. One of these is the safety of school children. If it is necessary, the new director of traffic probably would heartily approve of assigning policemen to every school to see that pupils are adequately guarded against the hazards of street traffic. This practice in other cities is one - the success of which has made quite an impression upon Mr. Harland. Another bject upon which Mr. Harland shows real feeling is that of NORRIS IS SILENT ON POWER PLNS Citizens’ Federation Deemed Likely to Consider New Electricity Proposal. With a definite proposal for develop- ment of the power possibilities of the Potomac River at Great Falls before the Federal Power -Commission for action—the first concrete.proposal for practical utilization of the waters of river which flows past the door of the Capital—speculation turned to the attitide of water power leaders in Congress when the proposal of & group of Cleveland capitalists to harness the Potomac comes again be- fore the legislative body in December. Senator Norris of Nebraska, cham- plon of development by the Govern- ment of the hydroelectric possibilities at Great Falls, maintained silence on the new move. Others who have been with the Nebraska solon in his fight to preserve the hydroelectric develop- ment of the Potomac as a publie proj- ect were likewise silent on the pro- posal. But citizens’ groups and trade organizations of the city professed great interest in the dedvelopment plan, while Maj. Clayton E. Emig, act- ing chairman of the public utilities committee of the Federation of Citl- zens’ Associations, visited the Federal Power Commission and began an active study of the private develop- ment proposal. The matter is sure to come up at th: next meeting of the federation, and the prediction is made that Gov- ernment development of the hydro- electric possibilities of the Potomac as opposed to private development, would ’be insisted upon by most citizens’ groups. In some quarters the view was expressed that it makes little dif- ference whether the project is unde: taken by the Government or by pri vate capital, so it-can be demonstrat- ed that power can be developed by the waters of the river and sold in Wash- ington more ‘cheaply than the existing steam plants éan produce and sell it. Pepco Position Recalled.

On this point, he s8ys: 'The safety zone is the one haven the pedestrian has in the street. It belongs to him whether he occupies it or not. It should be kept inviolate at all times and under all conditions as far as the motorist is concerned. my own driving, I have made it a point never to enter a safety zone regardless of whether or not it was oc- cupled. If the safety zone is to be an area in which the pedestrian may ways feel secure, it must never be in- vaded by the motorist.” Granting Driver's Permit. Mr. Harland seems to agree with the growing thought among traffic engineers and students that the place to check up moat rigorously on the fitness of an individual to operate a motor car is when issuing him his operator's permit. Although he ad- mitted frankly that he has no knowl- d | edge of the extent to which appli- cants are tested at present in t District, he concurs in the general thought that comprehensive examina, tions on the regulations and on one's ability to operate a car under various conditiona are the ideal steps in de- termining what type of applicant will be when he - joins the "1t 3a’ evident, 1 thia e it, in this respect, that he is acquainted with the recently developed thought among traffic of- ficials that not to grant a permit without a thorough examination Is superior to issuing it and then hav- lns to revoke it ahortly afterward. n general, even in detailed changes that might be made in the regulations, Mr. Harland can be expected to act :r“lt: uu“flnn.

Mr. Harland has observed the ‘working of such a rule in large cities, such as New York and Chicago, and he is impressed with the speed and safety with which traffic is moved there, in much greater volume than in Washington, Business District Parking. “The greatest good to the greatest number"” probably is the principle upen which Mr. Harland will weork.

As to such a propesal as the abo- lition of parking within the business district, he declares frankly that he has no preconceived ideas on the sub- ject. If the merchants could show him wherein such a step would serve themselves and the public in a larger way, they would have no trouble in getting hig ear, If. on the other hand, the public and the mercantile interests could be proved to be by such a move, undoubtedly this would pro- vide the new trafio with a basis for his final judgment. Without Expertuess Clalms. Mr. Harland readily admits that he comes to his new position with no claims to expertness. While he has mot studied traffic in ot cities closely, he has observed it for raany years from the standpoint of an en- gineer and a muotorist. He applied for the position by doing ne more than stating his quali- fications as an electrical engineer with 3 | the other KT Chain posed by Maj. States, holds that if power can be pro- duced at Great Falls cheaper than it can be produced in the Benning and downtown plants of the company, it will 'be glad to purchase and dis- tribute the power over its transmis- sion lines to consumers in Washington and surrounding territory. In this connection the warning of Ma}.-M. C. Tyler, made in January, 1921, about a market for all the power possible of generation at Great Falls, was recalled. Ma)j. Tyler, in his volu- minous report on the Great Falls de- velopment, made to Maj. Gen. Lansin H. Beach, then chief of Army en neers, said: “Great Falls can be hai nessed econmically for power pur- poses, provided only the entire power generated ia used.” The Tyler plan placed the total cost of development to insure an adequate power supply hington -and the river at $53, 3 supply . reservoirs and 2 dams, one at Great Falls and Bridge, were pro- Tyler.

None of the present members of the Federal Power Commission—Secretary of War Davis, Secretary of the In- terior Work and Secretary of Agricul- ture Jardine—bas expressed an opin- ion on the possibility and feasibility of power development at Great Falls. Former ' Secretary of War Weeks, when he was chairman of the com- mission, was known to have been against the development as uneco- nomic and too expensive for the anticipated results. Some time during the Summer the commission will take up the request of the Cleveland group to inaugurate a preliminary and take over the water rights of the river at Great Falls for upstream.

In giving references he made no effort to use his friendship with those prominent in political, social and business life in the city where he has resided for 13 years. It was not necessary for him teo do this, however, for immediately a legion of admirers of his work, in- cluding several members of the Senate snd former Commissioner Frederick 1. Cox’ of the L C.
