The test of the Daudeteau rifle SUBJ
mitted by the Hotchkiss Ordnance COM
pany at Newport Saturday was re-

conditions. A long box was provided,
a quarter filled with dry molders' sand.
The rifle was placed in the cover fas-
tened down. Then the sand was agi-
tated by an air blast at thousand
pounds pressure for two minutes, to be
followed by the discharge of the rifle
without cleaning other than hurried
wiping with the hand and blowing
from the mouth. The gun was tested
with breech closed, magazine empty
and filled, with the breech open, maya
zine empty and filled. The test was
successful in spite of it's severity, which
was in excess of any probable exposure
in time of action. Defective ammuni-
ton was prepared and tried. Finally,

dictment read: "The Commonwealth
national bank of said Manchester"

it as 'sthe National bank of the Com

ment where the bank was properly
designated Mr.. Burleigh, for the gov
ernment, said he had no evidence OF the

A BriEhtwOOd Avenue Objection ia
the Contagious Hospital.
Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In their report to the President the Dis
trict Commissioners state that IT is beyond
their power to comprehend how con-
tagious disease hospital in the location Sc
cured by them for the purpose could en-
danger the lives of the residents Of Mount
Pleasant and Brightwood, from one to
three miles away, or impair the value of
property in those suburbs" clearly imput-
ing to the residents of those localities an
warrantable interference in the matter.
therefore deem 1t proper to explain
that Brightwood, as a community, has
taken no part in this controversy. The
Citizens Brightwood Avenue Associa-
tion," composed. as 1t is, of residents of
the portion of the county contiguous to
Brightwood avenue from Silver Springs to
Florida avenue, has, with perfect pro-
priety. entered an emphatic protest against
a project which is calculated to work an
irreparable injury to the welfare of those
of It's members who live or own property
adjacent to the site selected.
The question as to danger from infec-
ton may be a mooted one, but there cam
not be a doubt as to the fact that the
name that would attach itself to an insti-
tuition of that description would condemn
the locality in which 1t was placed.
Respectfully,
WIN. A. galley,
President OF the Citizens BrightwoOd Ave-
nue. Association.
