TORRENT OF RAIN FALLS

Washington Visited by Tempest andDeluge.

MANY TREES BLOWN DOWN

Higher Range of Average Temperatureof Summer Held Responsiblefor Early Hurricanes.

Following two days of suspended threatsrain and wind broke loose last night. Foran hour there was a deluge. The rainkept up with mitigated violence for anhour or two longer, and was renewed atintervals during the night.The storm had been threatening all

afternoon and broke about 6:30 o'clockIn almost inky darkness with a tornadoof wind and a clouddust of rain.The wind reached a maximum of almost

forty miles an hour. No particular damagewas done, although a few shade treeswere trimmed without tlfe assistance ofthe District government.

Two Houses Struck.Lightning caused more damage than

the wind. Two houses were struck, onein northeast Washington and another atChevy Chase.The storm here was the Sequel to a

severe disturbance that originated in theWindwar4 Islands and traveled up the eastcoast. This is early for the West Indianhurricane season. Usually it does not begintill about October, when the raggededges of such disturbances bother Washington.Thia year the wet season started in

earlier, following a higher range of averagetemperature for the whole UnitedStates for the past two years. The commencementof the hurricane season inthe West Indies has coincided with thischange in the seasonal temperature.Therefore the storm yesterday was notsurprising.The temperature in Washington had

been high all day. The maximum wasclose to ninety and was even higher inthe downtown streets. There were noactual heat prostrations in Washington.

Damage in Northeast.Reports at police headquarters indicate

that the wind did more damage in thenortheast section than elsewhere, wherea number of trees were blown down.Trees were broken in front of 3'27 8thstreet. 1213 B street. 220 Massachusettsavenue, one at 8th and B streets, one at13th and B streets and one on the Bladensburgroad. Several trees in the parkswere also broken.The police reported, several dangerous

holes in streets and roads caused by thestorm.One house struck by lightning and

seriously damaged oy lire was me noriie

of J. Campbell Malcolm, 3765 Northamptonstreet. Chevy Cihase. The other housewas the residence of Miss Annie Hurley.360 3d street northeast. The damage ateach house will amount to about fl.tNlo.The flres occurred five minutes apart.

The blaze at the house of Miss Hurleystarted about 6:40 o'clock.At the Malcolm house the lightning

struck the roof near the chimney andmade a- hole through the shingle coveringabout the size of a hat and stunningseveral members of the family at home atthe time.In the heavy- downpour the members of

the family sought shelter in the house ora neighbor. *

Members of No. 20 engine company respondedto an alarm of Are, reaching thehouse after the blaze had gained someheadway. Firemen worked hard and succeededin extinguishing the flames.The lower portion of the house and the

furniture suffered considerable damage bywatei. The house is owned by the ChevyChase I-and Company and is insured.At the house of Miss Hurley the lightningstruck ihe telephone wire and communicatedthe blaze to two rooms and the

rear porch. The shock was great enoughto throw one member of the family tothe floor, although serious injury was notsustained.Several companies of the fire department

responded to an alarm that wAs turned Inby a neighbor. The force of the lightninghad caused some damage to the house.What other damage the fire failed to dowas done by water.

Down in Maryland.In the Maryland territory lying between

Chesapeake Beach Junction and ChesapeakeBeach there was a tremendousdownpour of rain, accornpanied by vdfy *

sharp lightning. At Pinaell station thelightning was particularly severe. Onebolt struck a large tobacco barn on thefarm of John Anuger, splitting into kindlingwood the large eight-foot posts andclearing off the roof rafters as clean ashuman work could have done. A freakishfeature was the drawing of nails from therafters as slick as if done by a carpenterwith tools. The hoards and shingles weredeposited nicely in a field nearby.At Chesapeake Beach the rain and lightningcontinued throughout the entire

night. The first storm struck the beachin the early evening and gave a feeling ofdread to several hundred excursionistsfrom the Eastern Shore, who awaited embarkationon the steamer at the long pier,The waves and high winds rocked the vesisel and pier, and the captain started forhome without waiting any longer forabout 115 tardy ones who were en routefrom Washington on a belated train. Thecontingent that arrived later In the rainwas compelled to find lodgings for thenight as best they could. Manager Bent1ley took care of the women and children,but the men put In the night on benchesand tables.An incident of the storm was the birth

of three babes, which kept folks busy forthe balance of the night.

NO RAILWAYS NOW......

Subway Lines From Capitol WouldBe Expensive.

Because it will cost too much to buildand operate them, the two proposed govieminent railroads to connect the Senate'and House.office buildings with the Capi|tol through the completed ^subways, willnot be constructed for the present, and theproject may he entirely abandoned. Thecongressional commission and Supt. ElliottWoods of the Capitol have had the adviceof Stuyvesant Fish of .the Illinois Centralrailroad, who says that the lines would'"cos entirely too much for their lengthand utility.

It has been estimated that the proposedroads would cost about ISO.000 or $100,000to build, and !.*> per cent of this amount ayear thereafter. It has been suggestedthat when the plan to cut a subway northand south across the plaza in front of the jCapitol Is carried out it would then be!feasible to have a railroad connecting the<w.» office buildings and run round-trip|

.cars that will stop at the Capitol going;and coming.

OEN. WRIGHT NOT SHOCKED.

shock yet." laughed Gen. Wright thismorning, "and so far as I know thePresident hasn't either. What we wantis merely fair elections in Cuba."

SUBDUE CRAZY NEGROTHREE POLICEMEN WITH CLUBSAND HANDCUFFS MANAGE IT.

Clinton Holly, a burly negro, who gavethree policemen the fight, of their livesSaturday night near 8th and H sreetsnortheast when put under arrest for disorderlyconduct, was arraigned in PoliceCourt this morning. Upon recommendationof the assistant United States attorneyhe was committed indefinitelypending examination into his mental condition.Holly, when arrested, proceeded to wipe

up the streets with his custodians, yellinglike a maniac the while. When thepatrol wagon arrived he had quieteddown. Everything went smoothly until,as the wagon turned a corner, he suddenlyleaped to his feet and dealt thedriver a smashing blow in the back ofthe head with his fist, almost knockinghim from his seat.The second outburst was the signal for

another terrific battle. Policeman Gee.in telling of the fight, said Holly was so

powerful that two men tackling him atone time with difficulty retained theirgrips upon him. He was finally subduedby a liberal dose of three blackjacks andkept so by two pairs of nippers.At the station house the man raved in

his cell to such an extent that it was

finally decided to take him to the CasualtyHospital, where he was treated forseveral hours. The physicians injectedopiates into his body with the idea ofquieting him. They expressed the opinionthat the man is mentally unsound, increasedby dissipation.Holly was removed to the jail this

morning, where he will be subjected todaily examinations for several weeks, andthen brought into court again for eithercommitment to a suitable institution or

trial, according to the report of the experts.WEATHER FORECAST. s

NOT WASHBURN-CROSBY.

Makers of Oold Medal Flour NotConcerned in Receivership.

It is announced that the WashburnCrosbyCompany, makers of Gold Medalflour, are In no way concerned with therecent Minneapolis flouring mill receivership.The ; light similarity in names hasled to some confusion.While the receivership in question Is

most unfortunate, it does not by anymeans concern all Minneapolis flourmills. The Washburn-Crosby Company,makers of the widely advertised GoldMedal flour, shipped 8A00 cars la?t yearmore than their nearest competitor.

ALL ABOARD FOR THE AIR LINE i

PROPOSED AIRSHIP PASSENGERSERVICE MAT CRYSTALLIZE.

Capt. Baldwin, While Host at PressClub Dinner, Springs Surprise

on His Guests.

The long-derided suggestion that time,would develop the perfection of the air-1ship and there would ultimately be air-1ship lines running hither and thither, per-'haps to the uttermost parts of the earth,is likely to become a reality within a

short time, according to an announcement!

njade by Capt. Baldwin, the aeronaut,whose manipulation of his wonderful dirigibleat Fort Myer. which is about topass from his possession to the UnitedStates government, has excited the 'in-terest of Washington for some time.If present negotiations are concluded, a3

in all probability they will be, and thatvery soon, the United States will have thehonor of establishing the first throughpassenger air line that is really an airline between Boston and New York, probablysoon to be followed by others untilultimately the western continent and perhapsthe world is covered.

Capt. Baldwin as Host.Capt. Baldwin entertained a number of

army officers and newspaper friends atdinner at the Press Club last night. Inhis company were such distinguished scientistsas Dr. Zahm of the. Catholic University;Augustus Post, secretary of theAero Club of America; Lieut. Selfridgeof the Signal Corps, who navigated thefirst aeroplane built by the Aerial ExperimentAssociation at Hammondsport, N.Y., and Alexander Graham Bell, chairmanof that association, the inventor andbuilder of the original aeroplane, "TheWhite Wings."After steps had been taken for the formationof a national aeronautical society,

modeled along the lines of the NationalGeographic Society, a plan that is to beadvanced, It is said, in a few days, bysuch men as Dr. Bell and Octave Chanute,one of the leading aeronauts of the coun-try. who will soon arrive in the city, Capt.Baldwin made the startling announcementthat within the next two or three weekshe would sign a contract with MillionaireGlidden, well known in automobilingcircles, for a number of dirigibles to runfrom Boston to New York.Glidden to Finance Dirigible Line.Mr. Glidden, it is said, proposes estab-

lishing a passenger line between thosecities, and will give Capt. Baldwin anorder Jor several dirigibles large enoughior passenger t rattle. '

Prof. Clayton of the Bine Hill observatorywas sent to Fort Myer lastweek by Mr. Glidden for the purpose ofascertaining the speed endurance of the.Baldwin dirigible and make a report on it. ]Prof. Clyton returned to Boston aftermaking his Investigation, and on thestrength of his report the millionairecommunicated with Capt. Baldwin and re- |quested that work on the ballons for theaerial transit line commence at the earli-est possible date. Capt. Baldwin said lastnight that he had received several pri- '

vate orders for duplicates of his armydirigible.Engineer Curtiss, he said, has also receiveda number of orders to manufacture"June Bug" aeroplanes, such as the

one he made his successful flights In severalyears ago.

PREDICTS HIGH* PRICED FLOURJOHN WASHBURN EXPECTS BIG1

INCREASE..

Washington Millers Consider ThatBig Crops Should Have ReverseEffect.

John Washburn, vice, president of theWashburn-Crosby Milling Company ofMinneapolis, in an interview sent out fromthat ritv. Sta1p« that flour and hroo/1 will

advance In price this fall. From presentindications, Washburn believes, prices inall grades of flour will be higher this yearthan for several years past.Washburn is an authority on the market.but the decided advance of which he |

speaks has not yet readied this city. Flouris higher this year than it was last, acjcording to the figures obtained from severalwholesale dealers.pLast July the highest grade of Minne-;apolis flour sold here at *tl. 10 per barrel.Today the same grade of flour is sellingat *7.00 per barrej. This price is about !

I 'JS cents a barrel under what is asked byj Washington millers for the same grade ofj flour.

Jill ri m (» t Ha n>j 11 civ n-aoVo Aam- 1>ao - Ji *^v«. ikq »«»v w vvnc nuut ua.i aujvanced about 20 cents a barrel of 100| pounds. July 6 the Minneapolis mills[ quoted Gold Medal flour at $0.80 per bar;rel. July 20 it had advanced to 7.1b per barjrel, August 8 $(1.90 was asked and thequotations yesterday were $7 per barrel,The wholesale dealers in flour do notI expect any big advance on present prices,! unless there is some manipulation of the

market.- According to all reports, theysay, the wheat crop of this country andCanada will be unusually large, and ifanything prices should come down. The:flour trade journals are also anticipatinga decline in the flour market. I;The present price of flour makes it

difficult for the bakers to realize a profiton bread, and should an advance takeplace the price of bread will have to beadvanced.

SWEARING A FAILURE.

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. August Ifi.-Downin the panhandle country of the southvest,where the rustler* used to ratseother people's cattle, the moral sentimenthas grown so good that even the Salvation:Army would have to go out of busl-'ness if it sought to sojourn there to savesinners. In Wheeler county it is reportedthere has been only one man In the countyjail in eighteen months.There Is no gun-toting, no saloons and

one will hear less swearing down there ina week than you hear in other sections ofthe country In a day. Indeed, it is anactual fact that a man who habituallyswears becomes an object of distrust.MA settler from Illinois found that out."

remarked a man from that section. "Haacquired some land next to mine, and webecame very good friends, but he wasaddicted to that unfortunate habit ofswearing on any and all occasions, whetherthere was anything to swear at or not.it just came out spontaneously, andwithout offense, as he looked at in Buthe soon began to notice that it wasn'texactly the proper thing to do in thatregion, and he came to see me about it;coM tvKon lio rirwvn/l out a Hit lo cl eiso a#

temptations. I could appreciate our newbrother's situation. I told him after hepracticed a while on the Spanish wordSalvameirto' It would give aa much reliefas 'damn it,' and was entirely harmless.There is a peculiar rhythm to the wordwhich is very satisfactory as a safetyvalve, and, by the way, the word meanssafety or salvation.."The brother, was profoundly grateful

and said he'd begin work on the plan atonce. Next time I met htm in town. Wewere standinar in front at a store. Acmssthe way he had a pair of frisky younghorses tied to the rack. Suddenly theybroke loose and started on a wild rundown the street. The Illinois man startedout into the street, then stopped andclawed at his throat." 'What the did you say that .

THEATRICAL MANAGER ACTA

Complains to Department of JusticeRegarding "Trust.**

In view of the representations of severaltheatrical managers regarding theexistence of a "trust." to which everytheater has to pay tribute or be countedas an outsider. Acting Attorney GeneralRussell said today that the Departmentof Justice will probably Investigate thematter in due time. So far no inquiryhas been started, and no time has beenset for the task. As a matter of fact, theofficials are not quite clear as to theirpower in tihe premises, as the subject hasnot been studied.Acting Attorney General Russell receiveda letter yesterday from a theatrical

manager in Maryland, in which the statementwas made that theaters outside the"trust" have no chance at all, and tihat the"trust" maintains a blacklist; upon whichis kept the name of every actor and acttresswho persists in playing in the independenttheaters.A second letter from the same manager

was received this morning, supplementingyesterday's information with a list of thetheaters in the alleged combine.Mr. Russell does not attach any greater

Importance to the entire matter than tothe rest of his correspondence, and willnot make any statement as to the meritsof the case.
