WILL ENTER NO OBJECTION.
Attitude of Georgetown Merchants
Toward the Memorial Briuge-

The efforts which have been made by The
Board of Trade and the Business Mems AS
sociation in Congress to secure the passage
OF an appropriation for the building of the
proposed memorial bridge across the Po-
tOmac at Analostan Island has revived
discussion among business men and citi-
zens of Georgetown.
There is a general sentiment TO the ef-
feet that it will do no good TO oppose
national project of such proportions, not
withstanding the fact that Georgetown will
lose large portion of her trade from the
Virginia farmers and suburban residents.
They, however, say that the bridge should
be built high enough to permit the pas
sage of schooners and other vessels.
Captains of vessels are very much op-
posed to passing through rawbridges, and
will not pass through one unless there is
some extraordinary inducement. \ draw
bridge will practically destroy Georgetown
shipping trade, and when it is remembered
that the greater part of the trade OF the
District comes TO the wharves of that sec
ton, owing to the excellent facilities which
are afforded, the question is one OF vital
interest to those owning property on the
river front as well as to the merchants
whose interests depend in a great measure
upon the activity of all departments of
trade in that part of the city.

Geo. B. Wrgt Was Restored to Health and Makes Gener

ing today. All who will write him letter
asking for copy of the prescription will
receive it by return mail free of any charge
whatever
Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such suf-
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. He
suffered for many years. He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result of in
sidious disease until he was reduced to a
condition of senility, and the best doctors
in the country gave him up to die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to unbounded Joy in a single night through
a rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again 1t is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthusi-
asm leads him to offer free to any man,
young or old, who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and vigor.
There is no question but what in his in
div!dual case the results were just as de-
scribed. and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford TO send this prescription free, but it
costs him little to do so, and he feels
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.

LONGS ACTION
CAUSES COMMENT
Board to Report on
SChley and Sampson.
SECRETARY VERY CAREFUL
DETERMINED TO SHOW THE
SENATE HE is NOT BIASED.
One Of the officers Appointed Is
Lieutenant Sears, a Known Par
tisan of Rear Admiral
Schley.
DETERMINED TO SHOW THE
SENATE HE is NOT BIASED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. "A Washington
special to the Herald says: Secretary
Long has written a letter to the Senate
announcing that he has organized a board
TO collect all data bearing upon the con-
duct of Rear Admirals Sampson and
Schey during the late war, and that this
report will be forwarded as soon as re-
ceived.
The action of the department, as ex-
clusively announced in the Herald this
morning, caused a great deal of comment
in naval circles. 1t is frankly stated at
the department that the Secretary was
careful to designate as members of the
board officers who participated in the
battle of Santiago, and that there might
be no claim that the board was organized
in the interests of the administration or
mined to appoint to membership a known
partisan of Rear Admiral Schley. This
officer is Lieutenant J. II. Sears, who was
flag lieutenant on the staff of Rear Ad-
miral Schley while that officer was in
command of the flying squadron and after
the abolition of that command of the
second squadron of the North Atlantic
fleet.
1t is said of Lieutenant Sears that after
the battle of Santiago he went to the
telegraph office at Playa del Este with a
dispatch signed by Rear Admiral Schley,
addressed to Secretary Long, announcing
the victory over Admiral Cervera's fleet,
but that he was prevented from sending it
by Lieutenant S. A Staunton, flag lieu
tenant on the staff of Rear Admiral
Sampson who pointed out to him that
under the regulations all dispatches must
pass through the hands of the commander
in chief.

TRAGEDY AT LOS ANGELES
TALLY-Ho oVERTURNS WITH
IT'S OCCUPANTS.
The Victim Of the Disaster Member
of the Firm That Is Building
the San Pedro Break
water.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-Peter w.
Neu, junior member of the well-known
Chicago contracting firm Of Heldmaier
& Neu, met with an accident this after
noon that caused almost instantaneous
death. Neu, in company with his fore
man, j. S. Anunsen, Hancock Banning,
president Of the Banning Coal Com
pany and owner of the Catalina Island
summer resort, and a dozen others,
made up tally-ho party which enjoyed
few moments of the pleasures Of the
horse show which is being held in this
city. At the conclusion of the after
noon performance the party drove
through various parts of the city. When
the tally-ho reached the corner of
Grand avenue and Washington street,
at 5:45 o'clock, the front axle broke,
causing the tally-ho to lurch to the
left side. The occupants were thrown
to the street, landing in a heap.
The seats of the tally-hO were eight
feet above the ground. Neu occupied
one seat removed from the center. AS
the occupants were thrown forward
Neu's head struck post which is used
to hold the trolley wires of the street
cars at the point where the accident
occurred. Neu, who weighed 260 pounds,
being thrown from such a height and
landing on the left side of his head,
received a fracture which DR.. Nc
Arthur says extended from the left eye
for several inches beyond the left ear
and undoubtedly caused dislocation of
the spine.
Pedestrians hurried to the scene and
rendered all aid possible. Neu was
heard to mutter, Help me out, help
me out" Then, quickly turning his
head to one side and throwing one arm
forward with full force, he quietly sank
to death. Neu was taken in an ambu-
lance to the California Hospital by
doctor who had been summoned A
hurried examination was made, life be-
ing found extinct. The remains were
taken to the C. D. Howry undertaking
parlors by the Coroner, who will hold
an inquest tomorrow.
Foreman Anunsen's legs were badly
sprained. Aside from minor bruises and
scratches, the other occupants were I'M
injured.
Neu came here early in January
from Chicago to take personal charge
of the work of constructing the San
Pedro harbor breakwater, the contract
for which had been awarded to his firm
for nearly 81, 000 900 by the Government
The firm has spent up to date $500, 900
and had just begun the construction of
barges to hurry the work.
The body will be shipped to Chicago.
