ing. She did not know OF any defect in

testified that Thursday evening he was.
on the car by which Mr.. Faulkner met
his death. He saidenly. felt jar when
the car was about IseyeRtgTf five feet from
the curve at Stanton Square He heard no
outcry.
The first intimaeoH of casualty he re-
ceived was when the' conductor called him
out to assist in helping the injured man.
Continuing, Mr. Smiley related that he
was asked to assist tile prostrate man. The
/ witness held his head until assistance ar
rived. Mr.. Faulkner told witness his name
and soon afterwar0 tainted. The in jured
mans leg was nearly severed from his body.
Witness had no idea how the accident
occurred. The driver and the conductor
of the car did all they could to lift the car
from the injured man without loss OF time.
The driver remarked that the man must
be drunk, but a colorcd woman replied
that she had followed him some distance
before they boarded the car, and she was
positive he was not under the influence of

TALK ABOUT RETROCESSION
Virginia congressman, Expect Mr..
Tucker, All Opposed to It
Mayor Thompson, of Alexandria,,
Thinks That City Is Included
In the Proposition.
UOU HUu DO~
Seventh IT,

Senator Mcmillan resolution regarding
the retroccssion OF Alexandria county 10
the District of Columbia is resting at pres
ent in the hands of Attorney General Har-
mon, who is expected to render an opinion
on the same III few days.
In an interview witha Times reporter yes
terday Senator Mcmillan said That the reso-
luton introduced by himself in the Senate
tile 1Tth OF this month called for an in
quiry into tie legality of the reconveyance
of the county, On the part of the District,
to the Commonwealth OF Virginia, and the
consequent technical points governing a
retroccsScn to tile District of Columbia.
These points are now being determined by
tile Attorney General. Senator Mcmillan
said that, in view of the fact that a memorial
bridge ana other bridges viii be built
across the Potomac in the near future, and
that thereby the adjacent territory Will be-
come an 3unct of this city, it was con-
sidered cXpcdicnt to take steps looking to
tie acquisition of that section without de-
lay. His future actions with reference TO
the matter viii be guided entirely by the
opinion laid down by the Attorney General
in tile premises.
The Virginia members OF the House donot
Representatives Meredith, Otey and Tyler
view the idea of rctroceSsion with decided
disfavor. MeSsrs. Tyler and Swanson are
non-conmittal on the subject while Repre-
sentative Tucker is OF opinion that il the
territory in question were again brought
under District jurisdiction Il more salts
factory condition of affairs in the county
would prevail.
The assertion that Alexandria city is
left out OF consideration in the proposition
for retrocession is not credited by Mayor
Thompson. When seen by a Times re-
porter yesterday Mr.. Thompson said that
he had been led to believe that the city OF
Alexandria was included in the proposition
in question, but that a vast amount OF
hard thinking had failed to reveal the
benefits that it is alleged would accrue
to the corporation by the change.
There were some few, he said, who de-
sired the change. They Were those who
imagined that their taxes would be de-
creased, if not entirely done away with by
the proposed rctrocession
But the proposition" said Mr.. Thomp-
son, Twill fall through, as have all the prop
oSitions heretofore looking to the return
of Alexandria to the District"
The mayor further said that the city
to the matter, but that if the opinion OF the
attorney general should prove favorable
to the proposition. the controversy, in his
opinion. would Not rest until detcrIninedby
the United states Supreme Court.

The citizens in the delegation today
urged upon the Commissioners the necessity
for the construction of school house OF
not less than four rooms, to accommodate
their children, and asked that special
recommendation be made therefor to Con-
gress. The roads to and from the several
schools are lonely, and the section Is So

dangerous. This was among the strongest
arguments advanced in favor of the ap-
preparation. together with the statement
that the children suffer with the cold going
to and from school.
