CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
A Policeman Arrests Two Soldiers
for Carrying Arms.


The first clash between the civil and
military authorities since the establish
ment Of Camp Alger occurred last night
when Provost Sergt. Albert P. Lillard
and Corporal Charles Edwards, of the
Second Tennessee Volunteers, attempted
to arrest in this city a colored man ac-
cused Of selling liquor in Camp AIger.
The whisky seller was tried by the
authorities of Fairfax County. Va, We'd

sonal bonds were taken. Thursday he
was back at Camp Alger again conduct
ing his unlicensed business more quietly
than before. Col Anderson, of the Sec
ond Tennessee Volunteers, soon found
that his men were getting liquor, and
after a careful investigation found the
source of the supply and ordered that
the dispenser of the fire water be placed
under arrest. When the guard went 10
search for the man he was not to be
found so they were equipped with provost
authority and sent to this city to make a
thorough search of the alleys and streets
which their man was believed TO frequent.
With the assistance of a citizen. the sol
diers located him in Prather's Alley, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth and I and X
Streets northwest and went in to arrest
him. They told him he was under arrest.
He requested permission to go into the
next room for his coat and continued
through the back door.
Corporal Edwards was in the front room
waiting for the man and the sergeant
had taken up a position near the entrance
Of the alley where he could intercept the
prisoner if he attempted TO get out that
way. When the man failed to appear
Edwards went into the back room just
in time to see the man go over the back
fence. He was Immediately pursued by
both the soldiers The corporal called
TO the sergeant to fire over the head Of
the fugitive, hoping to intimidate him
but Lillard seemed TO have some trou-
ble in drawing his revolver, so his COM
rade drew his and fired into the air four
times. Policeman Stang heard the shots

The citizen who accompanied the sol
diers objected to their arrest in such a
boisterous manner that ne, too. was taken

New York. July 29-The Herald prints

United States consul at Rheims, and later
at Grenoble In the latter part of last
year, while in the United States on leave,
he was notified that his successor had
been appointed to the post at Grenoble-
After a certain amount of negotiations
he was appointed to the post of consular

| tendency of the consular office at Zurich
| This appointment is dated December %,

! All DR.. keedy's arrangements for pro-

This letter. as ] have stated. is dated
March %, yet on the 9th of that same
month a bill was passed in Congress and
| approved abolishing the post of consular
| agent at Aaran and promoting it to a full

pointed as consul Mr.. Morgan. Wher
DIR. Keedy arrived at Zurich on June L
he was informed by the consul that tbs
post to which he had been appointed ex

EXPRESS COMPANIES MUST PAY
Judge Says They Cannot Shift the
Tax to Their Patrons.

Chicago. July 29.-Judge Tuley, of the Il
linois Circuit Court, has decided that express
companies must pay that part of the war tax
which is provided for in the new revenue act
by the section requiring 1-cent stamps on ali
bills OF lading.
This decision was made in suit brought by
a member of the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton to compel the United States Express Com
pany to accept for transportation package
for shipment without the payment of i cent in
excess of the regular rate
The case viii be appealed. Judge Tuey held
that the law expressly provides that the person
issuing the receipt shall affx the stamp.
In regard to the company's strongest conten.
tion-that the rates had been increased and that
it did not ask consignors to pay the tax--the
court said
"An express company has no right to arbi-
trarily increase its charges when the intent
of such action is plainly to make the public
pay the tax which the Congress of the United
States intended it to pay. ."-a
