LIEUT.. WISE TO TRY AGAIN.
To Break the Cycling Record From
Here to New York.

To Break the Cycling Record From
Here to New York.
In the latter part of June Lieutenant
Wise of the Sth Infantry made an unsuc
cessful attempt for the record from New
York to Washington, starting from New
York and getting as far as Baltimore.
During his ride Lieutenant Wise probably
encountered more hardships and general
bad luck than any record breaker. His
start was made under suspicious circum-
stances. but when only few miles out of
New York a drizzling, chilling rain set In
that was eminently discouragIng. The mil
itary cyclist was proof against this,
though, and reached Havre de Grace. Nd,
considerably ahead of schedule time. From
that place to Baltimore he was over
ing caught in the most terrific storm OF
the year, ard arriving in town on foot in
a much bedraggled and bruised condition,
having carried his wheel seventeen miles
through mud and water.
The lieutenant intends to go again for
the record in about three weeks. He in
tends to start from the Washington end
advantage of the good New York roads
toward the finish of his ride The ar
rangements for pacing will be much more
satisfactory than on the first trial, when
there were long distances which he was
obliged to ride alone.
The Washington riders have promised to
pace him from this city to Baltimore, and
more riders to take the lieutenant as far
as Wilmington, Del. From Wilmington
to New York he will be taken care of by
Wilmington and New York riders.

THE TESTIMONY MIXED.

Df6ers Radically.

witnesses Whose Version of n Case
Differs Radically.
From present appearances either Char
lotte and Richard Harper, colored, or Jo-
seph Gray. G. A. Humphrey and George A.
Crawther are likely to be brought before
the grand Jury on charges of perjury.
The case grows out of the arrest this
morning Of Joseph Gray, the proprietor of
a store at the corner of 10th and K streets
southeast, by Policeman Bliss, on the charge
Of threats of violence.
Charlotte Harper testified before Judge
kimball that she and her husband were
walking along X street last evening when
without any provocation whatever Gray,
who Was standing at his store door, drew a
pistol and threatened to kill her. Richard
Harper corrOborated his wifes testimony
In every particular.
The defendant. upon taking the stand
denied all that the Harpers had testified to,
and proved by G. A. Humphrey and George
A. Crawther that no such occurrence as
represented by the prosecution took place.
Judge Kimball dismissed the charge against
Gray and directed the officer to take all
the parties before the district attorney
with the view of having that official bring
the matter before the attention of the
grand jury, II he should decide that to be
the proper course.

DISEASES OF THE LILY.
Report on Subject of Interest I.
Florists.


Florists.
A special bulletin has been issued by the
Agricultural Department on diseases of
the Bermuda or Easter lily, which is of
much interest to the florists of the country
1t points out that the forcing of the lily
has become an important industry in the
United States. The bulbs are grown almost
exclusively in Bermuda, where they ma
ture in July and are then shipped to this
country to be forced the following fall
winter and spring.
During the past five or six years the dis
ease affecting the lily, apparently growing
more destructive each season, has serious
ly interfered with the profitable growth Of
the plant. The government began an inyes-
tfgation of the plant malady two or three
years ago, and the preliminary report saws
the disease destroys in this country from
20 to 60 per cent of the entire crop, exclu-
sive of the bulbs which fail to grow or that
make worthless plants, the loss from which
ranges from to even 80 per cent The dis
ease is characterized by spotting and dis
tortion of the leaves and flowers, and usu-
ally the stunting of the plants. France the
Netherlands and Japan are supposed to be
similarly afflicted.
The principal causes assigned are worn
out soil, premature removal of flowers and
flower stems, premature harvesting of
bulbs, carelessness in selection of propagat-
ing stock, bad treatment during the forcing
and the depreciation of insects AS reme-
vigorous plants be used for propagati ton,
crop rotation should be practiced, chemical
fertilizers used and premature digging
avoided.

Evidence Not Sufficient.

Joseph. alias "Slocum," Wells, who yes
terday surrendered himself to answer the
charge of breaking into the office of A. H.
Stevenson & Bro. on It'll street southwest
and carrying away sixty two-cent postage
stamps, was today tried before Judge Kim
ball. Mr.. A. H. Stevenson and others tes-
titled to the fact. that the office was found
broken open on The morning of the 14th
instant, and Mr.. Michael Long stated that
the night before at late hour he bought a
number Of postage stamps from the ac-
cused.
1t was, however, impossible for Mr..
Stevenson to identify the stamps bought
by Mr.. Long from Wells, and shown in
court, as those once owned by the firm.
Judge Ki,nball decided that the evidence
against the prisoner was not sufficient to
hold him and released the latter from Gus
today.

POM X. sOH's WILL.
Interesting Questions Have Arisen
Over the Nuncupntive Testament.

An interesting question has arisen as
to the disposition of the house and lot,
2S19 14th street. devised by the late ex-
Corean minister, Pom K. Sob, to his
cousin, Bong Sun PAX. The will devising
the real estate was nuncupative one, and
1t does not pass real estate, although near
" $4,000 of personality left by ii will go to
the beneficiary.
The heirs-at-law of the deceased Corean
are his widow and two sisters, all Of whom
reside in Corea. But it is said that they
will not claim the real estate, and, while
Bong Sun may not take it by inheritance;
it is contended by some attorneys that he
car hold 1t as tenant by sufferance.
Others, however, claim that it will es-
cheat to the United States upon failure
of the heirs-at-law to claim 1t. There is
an incumbrance on the property, end it
may be that the question of ownership will
be eventually settled by sale Under the
deed of trust.

THEIR TERMS ARE SHORT.
Few Commissioncrs of Patents Sery,
Four Years.

Few Commissioners of Patents Serve
Four Years.
1t is rather remarkable that few men who
have occupied the office of commissioner of
patents have served the full term of four
years. There have been twenty commits
sioners of patents since 1S49, their average
length of service being two and one-tenth
years. From 1886 to 1S45 the Office was in
significant and was filled by one commits
sioner. but from 1915 ito the present time
only three commissioners have filed the
Office for the full term of four years.
These were Burke. from 1S45 to 40; Hal
loway, from 1861 to '65, and Seymour, 1883
to '97. Maj. Butterworth when formerly
commissioner was in office but one and a
half years. snf
The reason for this variation from the
rule among government officials that Few
die and none resign" is the fact that the
office of commissioner of patents has been
regarded chiefly for the prestige 1t would
give an attorney engaged in practice be-
fore the patent office. The salary attach
ed to the position is $h;009 per annum. but
the rule has been that attorneys have
found that when they could go before the
country as an ex-commissioner of patents
they could reap rewards beyond the limit Of
salary fixed by the experiment, and many
have accepted the PLACE only to be able to
resign 1t. ssn,

SHOOTING OUT OF SEASON.
A COlOred Man Arrested for Violating
the Reed Bird Law.

For violating the game law James Brown,
colored, was this afternoon arrested by
Policemen Burrows and Mullen. 1t is I'm
lawful to shoot reed birds prior to the LIST
OF September, but nevertheless it has been
reported that quite a number of gunners
have been at work on the marshes, not be-
ing able to restrain their desires until the
opening of the season. Therefore, Harbor-
master Sutton has been active and has
had men constantly on the lookout for vio-
lators Of the law.
Policemen Mullen and Burrows, in a
small boat, came upon Brown at a point
directly in the rear of the District jail. He
had six reed birds in his possession when
arrested. The case will be aired tomorrow
in the Police Court. The law provides a
fine of 81 for each bird shot.
