Assessor Adsmond reports that it
will require at least eco more schedules
to make out the assessment roll this year
than last. Last year there was about
200 over the year previous. This is an
indication Of the fact that the population
OF Otero comfy is rapidly increasing. 1t
is doubtful il any other section OF the
state is growing more rapidly.
1t is easy to take horse to water
but impossible to make him drink. The
county assessors met here for the alleged
purpose Of formulating some plan to meet
ths deficiency in the state revenues. To
reach any practical conclusion it WINS
necessary to have an agreement between
the assessors and the state board of
equalization. Neither body is now com.
plying with the law, which provides for
full cash valuation. As the county
levy is unlimited low valuation affects
not ut all the county finances, but the
state levy being limited it is impossible
on a low valuation to raise the funds
necessary to meet the state requirements.
The assessors return low county assess.
ments and the state board aeturns low ms.
sessments ON RAILROADS and inter.county
property which falls within it's jurisdic.
ton. Neither side is disposed to give in
and state institutions suffer in conse.
quence. 1t IS n severe and very unpleas.
ant commentary upon all concerned that
the only reason why the state finances
are in the condition in which they are
found is that neither the county assess.
ors nor the state board Of equalization
have seen 6t to comply with the law as
it now exists. Had they done 40 all
trouble would have been avoided

Alexandria, Aug. 15.-The Democratic
primary election held in this city today
to nominate candidate for the House of
Delegates from Alexandria city and county.
passed off quietly until late this afternoon,
when minor disturbances occurred at sew
eral voting precincts, in which, however,
no one was injured. The election proved
a sweeping victory for Frank Hume over
James r. Cation by majority Of 79l out
of total Of 1,761 votes cast in the FIVE
precincts in this city. Following is the
vote by precincts In the city: First ward

Arlington District-Hume, 116; Cation,

The overwhelming majority received by
Mr.. Hume comes surprise to his most
ardent supporters, and the managers of
Mr.. Caton's campaign, who had expressed
confidence that their fayorite would win,
are crestfallen.
The nomination of Mr.. Hume by the
Democrats today is equivalent to his cleo
ton, although he will be opposed at the
general election, November T. by James H.
Lob, independent.
Mr. Hume favors the reelection of SEN

THROWN FROM HER WHEEL.
A serious Accident BefnIIs Mrs. Lamb
While Out Riding.

Mrs. Elsie Lamb, the wife OF Dr. Daniel
S. Lamb pathologist in the Surgeon
Generals Office at the War Department,
west, met with a serious accident while
riding her bicycle in New Hampshire Ave-
nue., between VI and " Streets northwest,
about o'clock yesterday afternoon. AS
result she is now at the Emergency Hos
pitai suffering with concussion of the brain,
caused by her head striking the asphalt.
She also sustained several bruises about the
body. The accident 10 Mrs. Lamb appears
to have been the result of an attempt on
her part to ride her bicycle against the
wind. She had been visiting friends in the
neighborhcod of Dupont Circle and was re-
turning home BY way OF New Hampshire
Avenue. when she ran into rope stretched
across the street at VI Street The rope
was used as a barricade to the block be-
tween NJ and N Streets to prevent the
noise created by the passing Of heavy We
hicles as It annoyed a sick person in the
block. Mrs. Lamb saw the rope at n Street
and rode under it, but continuing down
New Hampshire Avenue with her head
lowered, she did not see the rope stretched
at NJ Street and ran into il. The force
with which she struck il was sufficient 10
knock her ffom her wheel, and she struck
the concrete heavily and was rendered un-
conscious.
Passers-by saw the accident and hurrying
to the side of the injured woman, took
her 10 a nearby drug store from whence
telephone message was sent TO the Emer-
gency Hospital. When the woman arrived
at the institution she was still unconscious
and though an examination disclosed no
evidence OF external injury other than the
bruises about the body, Ii was at once seen
that she was suffering from conclusion OF
the brain. Every effort was made TO re-
yive Mrs. Lamb, but without effect. and up
to late hour yesterday evening the iden-
tity of the woman WAS not known. Finally
however. she regained consciousness for
sufficient length of time TO say to the ply
scian that she was Miss Elsie HasbrOok
and later corrected that statement by say
ing that she was the wife Of DR.. Lamb.
The first intimation the doctor had Of the
injury to his wife was when he was visited
and informed of it, He had been uneasy
at Mrs. Lambs protracted absence from
home. On hearing the statement that she
was injured he proceeded at once to the
hospital, where he remained until Mrs.
Lamb, at a late hour, came out of her un-
conscious state and remained so. She recog-
niZed her husband and was able to tell him
as far as she knew of the accident. At a
late hour last night it was reported at the
hospital that Mrs. Lamb was still con-
scious, and though in a serious condition.
hope was expressed for her recovery.

A FEED WAREHOUSE BURNED.
Anacostia Threatened by an Early
Morning Fire

Fire destroyed the large flour and feed
store OF James Hartley at 16 Monroe
Street, Anacostia, about O'Clock this
morning The cause CT the blaze is un-
known, but it is supposed, from the pres
ent indications, that it was the work of
an incendiary. The damage resulting was
roughly estimated at from $4,000 to $15.
GOO en- which there is only partial insur-
ance
The lire was discovered by the police of
the ADacostia substation at 1850 o'clock,
ana three minutes later an alarm was
turned in from box No. 81 at the corner
of Monroe and Harrison Streets. Only one
engine company responds to that alarm
and that company is No. Is. 1t was already
on the way to the fire when the alarm
sounded. the firemen having noticed the
blaze. When the fremen arrived on the
scene it was found that one engine was
not sufficient to cope with the fire and a
second alarm was turned in from the box,
which brought out Engine Company No.
and truck company. A further effort
was then made to subdue the flames with
out material effect.
When the fire was discovered it was
scarcely visible and yet in an instant the
entire structure which is frame and one
story, was enveloped. The building contain
and cereals OF all descriptions, and they, to-
gether with the woodwork of the build
ing, furnished splendid fuel for the fierce
flames. As many lines of hose as could be
managed were run to the fire and steady
streams of water kept pouring upon it
without effect. The building burned like
finder. and the heat arising from ii was SO
intense that ii was impossible to get close
TO it. The fire could be plainly seen in this
civ and attracted a iarfra crowd
In a stable adjoining the building several
horses and wagons were quartered and
though every effort was made to save them,
it was reported that two of the
animals perished. Persons living i'm
mediately adjacent to the fire were appre-
hensive for the safety of their lives and
property and sought places of refuge while
others helped move every thing at hand.
At one time the fire threatened to de-
stroy several dwellings, but fortunately
thsre was not much wind and the chances
for disastrous general confagration were
minimiZed The police of the Anacostia
station, under Sergeant Anderson, turned
| out in body and aided in saving consid-
erable property. At an early hour this
morning the fire was still burning. though
it had spent its fury and was under control.
Mr.. Hartley, proprietor of the feed and
-four store, was notified and was upon the
scene in time to witness the destruction OF
| his place of business He could not def
nitely estimate his loss. He lives at i55
| Eleventh Street southeast.

The dawn OF yesterday brought with il
some Of the coolest weather experienced
in this city since early spring. when ocea-
slonai snowfiakes were not regarded as
being amiss. Nor did the advancing Of
noon cause any genial warmth. When
night came on the atmosphere was even
chilling The surprised citizens who had
become accustomed to 90-degree tempera-
ture and exceeding humidity were at a
loss as TO whom to thank for the Adirou
daek-SS- per-hour climate, which was thus
laVishiy distributed in the very centre OF a
not wave, but nearly everyone accepted X
with thanks and felt less like doing rash
things than at any time during the past few
weeks.
The despissd vest was again pressed into
service during the day and the vendeTs OF
cool drinks felt as though meteorological
boycott had been instituted against them
Even the SeasOnable straw hat looked ur-
seasonable and summery things were cut
OF place generally. The temperature at
noon was but s. degrees, this being the
maximum figure during the day. At
a. m. the figures were but g. and those
who arose early began to think OF donning
winter Cvercoats and gloves.
The weather man attributes the strange
conditions TO the approach OF the tropical
e-N4A-A udNOC III the west
Indies under the title OF hurricane This
disturbance has now resolved itself into a
high gale off the South Carolina coast and
Is heading northward at a velocity OF twen-
ty-four miles per hour. The nearing OF
the hurricane viii cause a continuance OF
the cool weather today, accompanied by
heavy rains and increasing n0rtheasterly
winds. and the Weather Bureau has caused
storm signals to be placed on the North
Atlantic Coast from Wilmington. " c.. to
Portland, Me- The heavy seas accompany
ing the storm may cause some damage TO
shipping. but the coast cities are safe, ae-
cording 10 bulletins issued last night
Fair weather is promised FOR tomorrow,
and by Saturday the weather man expects
that the city will again resume the 90 de-
gree temperature and raiment. The latter
official also adds. as a sample OF what
Washington is escaping, that the tempera-
ture at Abilene. Tex. yesterday was 102
degrees in the shade.

CHARITY IN THE QUAKER CITY.
Philadelphia Responds to the Call
for Porto Rico's Aid.

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-Actiye measures
will be taken here TO send relief for the
sufferers from the Porto Rico hurricane
A meeting of the citizens permanent re-
lief committee was held in the mayors Of
fee today. TIE first business transacted
was TO transfer 5000 for use in aiding the
suffering Mayor Ashbridge read the call
OF the Secrstary of War for assistance and
said that he would, if necessary. throw open
all the police and fire stations for the re-
ception of goods, and would allow the use
of patrol wagons for carting contributions
Secretary Moore read the cable message
from General Davis, Governor General, in
which he detailed the kind of articles
which the Porto Ricans are mostly in
need of, and suggested that New York be
made the central point Of distribution. To
this last suggestion there was much op-
position. and it was finally decided that
the Secretary of War be requested TO SEND
a transport to this city to take away the
supplies contributed.
The secretary of the committee was ci-
rected to write TO mayors of all towns in
Pennsylvania asking them 10 send con-
tributions to this city. Contributions
amounting to S219 were received today

Newport. r. l.. Aug. I5.-In a light
breeze and a smooth sea the Columbia de-
ieated the Defender today by minutes
and 50 seconds The weather conditions
were almost the same as those that pre-
vailed on Astor Cup day, but the course
was only twenty-one miles in length,
against thirty-two miles in the big race.
This with the other races that have been
sailed during the cruise would go to show
in a light wind and smooth sea the Co
lumbia can beat the Defender about 20
seconds a mile.
When these figures are considered 1t
must be remembered that the Columbia
carries about / 600 square feet more can
vas than the Defender. and that she is also
about two feet longer on the water line
than the older boat. and for this addi-
tional length and sail area she has TO al
low considerable time. There has been no
fair test of the two boats in a good blow
and with rough sea yet and yachtsmen
are anxious 10 see the two boats race IN
der conditions that viii require them TO
reef. The Columbia, il is expected, viii
win under almost any conditions, and the
more the two boats are raced the more the
Columbia viii win by.
The racing viii now end for while.
The Columbia viii go to Bristol tomorrow
morning and her steel mast will be put
in place q the wooden spar she has car
ried since she had the accident two weeks
ago. This mast is the same one that was

TO make her much better in a blow Some
good judges say that the steel mast viii
make the Columbia five minutes faster
over q thirty mile course than she is now.
After the Columbia is fitted with her
steel mast and has had her sails re-cut
and been duly overhauled she will go TO
New York, where several races viii be
sailed against the Defender. There viii
be trial races of Sandy Hook next month
and the Larchmont and Atlantic clubs will
have races for the Two boats for cups

REINGoLD MAY RECOVER


The wouId-Be Suicides Identity
Seems to BE Established.
After three weeks spent in Georgetown
University Hospital. suffering with partial
paralysis of body and almost entire paraly-
sis of his vocal chords, as the result of
self-infiieted wound in an. attempt to CON-
nit suicide in Dead Mans Hollow at Ros-
lyn. the heretofore unknown Hebrew, whose
condition has interested many persons. yes
terday definitely established his identity.
His name now is conceded to be Abraham
Reingold and his address is 3S1e Park Ave-
nue., New York.
These facts were made known when the
physicians at the hospital received tele-
gram from a brother of the man which hs
was later shown. When he saw the names
mentioned in the message he smilingly
signified that they were correct. The teie-
gram was dated New York. August 10,
1899, and read:
Please telegraph condition Of Abraham Reingold
and chances for recovery.
DAVIS REINGoLD,
1916 Park Avenue, New York.
The physicians Immediately wired back
that the condition of the man was i'm
proved, and that his chances for recovery
were more than favorable At late hour
last night no further word had been re-
ceiyed from New York and it was gensr-
ally conceded that Davis Reingold or some
member of the family would arrive in the
city today.
AS a matter of fact the condition of
Reingold is greatly improved. Yesterday
he was able to use his vocal chords to
considerable effect and the paralysis in
his right leg had almost entirely disap
peared So much of an Improvement was
apparent in the leg that the man was able
to use II. The effort incident to articu-
Iatfng, however, was so great that the
physicians advised him to remain quiet.
He readily acquiesced. and indicated that
he preferred to make signs.
1t has been previously printed that the
name of the man was probably ReinhaTt.
or Reigold. and emphatically published
that it was Reinold. but according to the
telegram from New York the name is now
undoubtedly Reingold. Information re-
ceived from New York is to the effect that
the mother of the young man lives there
at the Park Avenue address and has been
frantic with grief because of the absence
of her son. She received information Mon
day that he was alive In Washington and
Immediately instructed another son, Da-
Wis. to telegraph the physicians at the hos
pitaI to learn of his condition The physi-
clans now express the belief that the man
will recover. 1t is intended to take an
X-ray photograph Of his skull In an effort
to locate the bullet lodged there.
