II Years for Highway Robbery.

Martin Everett, an American citizen,
was sentenced at Vernon, B. c., to IA
years. imprisonment for highway rob-
berry, alleged to have been committed
about year ago at Grand Forks, B. c.
Six months ago the case was laid be.
fore United States Consul Dudley, and
he presented it to the state department
at Washington, D. G. The sentence
caused great surprise, as it was known
that the case had become an inter.
national matter. Consul Dudley to.
night apprised Secretary Hay of the
sentence. His prior representations
to the state department were favorable
to Everett's contention that his arrest
by Canadian officials at Republic,
WASH, was unwarranted.

ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE
A Passenger and Two Employees Of
the Road Hurt.
The Former Seriously, But Not Dam
, gcrousiy, Injured - Construction
Ecthcr ON n Curve in u Cut-Ef-
forts to Avoid the Accident.

Car No I, westbound. laden with pas
sengers. and construction car No. 2, of the
Glen Echo Electric Railway, met in :. neal
On collision on curve about half mile
west of the Georgetown and Rockville
Pike about o'clock yesterday morning.
That no fatalities resulted is considered
almost miraculous. AS 1t was three men
were injured two of them seriously. and
the front dashes of the cars were badly
damaged. The injured were L. G. Dudley,
siXtysix years old, a passenger. Of rs c
Street northwest; John Hough. twenty
three years old. n railroad blacksmith who
was On the construction car, and Roy
Cross, motorman of the construction car
All were removed to Georgetown Univer-
sity Hospital for treatment.
Duley was probably the mcet seriously
hurt. He suffered a fracture of the right
leg and dislocation of the right hip. Hough
was rendered unconscious by blow on
the right ear which gashed that organ.
His left leg was broken and he was badly
bruised. Cross was lacerated about tie
head and face. After receiving treatment
he left the hospital. Duley and Hough
were sent to ward to rest after their
injuries were dressed. Hough lives on
the Conduit Read, above Cabin John
Bridge.
The point where the collision occurred is
just east of small trestle and at the
west point Of deep curve. The curve
and the foliage prevented the motormen
Of the cars from knowing their danger
until 1t was too late. Both cars were
moving at good rate of speed, and each
motorman supposed he had the right Of
way on a single track which is operated
at that point because Of repairs which the
other track is undergoing. When the
motormen realized their danger they re-
versed current and applied the brakes to
avoid the collision. The momentum of the
cars was such. however, that despite ali
endeavors they came together with
crash. The motormen were hurled against
each other and the passengers thrown from
their seats. So sudden was the collision
and without warning that no one had time
TO jump. The heavy passenger coach tele-
scoped the lighter construction car and
splintered it. In sore manner the wreck
caught fire and was with difficulty saved
from the flames.
Immediately after the accident Dudley
and Hough were removed from the wrecl.
and made comfortable until they could be
sent to the car barn of the Tenieytown
Railway. at Thirty-second Street extend
ed. There the injured men were met by
the patrol wagon from No. station and
removed to the hospital. At late hour
they were resting quietly.

GROUND FOR THE ASYLUM.
Proposed Donation of Site for New
Buildings mt St. EIixnbeth,s.

An offer of donation of site for the
proposed extension of the Government
Hospital for the Insane has been made
to the Secretary Of the Interior. Arthur
F. Randle. of Congress Heights, yester-
day sent the following letter to Secretary
Hitchcock:
The provision of the Sundry Civil bill
for additional buildings for the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane states in
regard to the site for the erection OF new
buildings as follows: Upon such suitable
land as may be donated TO the Government
within the District of Columbia for that
purpose Therefore l am authorized to
deed to the United States Government a
site for the new buildings upon guaran-
tee that said Improvements be made upon
site donated. all conveyances to be paid
by the Donor
The Sundry Civil bill provides that the
buildings may be erected upon land now
owned by the hospital. but as may be
gathered from the arguments advanced
by many who discussed the subject. some
OF whom made personal investigations OF
the conditions at the asylum. the institu-
ton has no ground that is considered de-
sirable for the construction of the addi-
tion referred TO. which is to provide ac-
commodations for 1000 persons. The site
offered is understood to be in proximity
to the Government land at present used
for the purposes Of the institution.
II is believed that the cffer of the site
for the proposed new buildings will be
favorably considered by the Government.
Probably the proposition will be forwarded
to DR.. A. B. Richardson. the Superinten-
dent of the asylum. for his consideration
and approval. when the entire plan will be
laid before him and its feasibility urged
The site mentioned in Mr. Randie-s letter
Is at point which will save crossing
Nichols Avenue. and entrenching upon the
town Of Congress Height.
Mr.. Randle. speaking of the proposed
donation last night, said:
The property owners at Congress
Heights were delighted. The 81 GOO. 600 ap-
preparation will benefit the town. A de-
termined effort was made to put the build
ing across the road. so as TO injure Con-
gress Heights. but the innocent clause in
the S,indry Civil bill. authorizing donation
OF site. saved the town. The Wilson Park
site, which was defeated. would have given
Congress Heights park. and the build
ing would have been put on the river front
half mile away. For unknown reasons
this proposition was defeated. and but for
this timely donation the new buildings
would be erected at Congress Heights and
on both sides of Nichols Avenue

PARIS ATHLETIC GAMES.
Attention Called to the Rules Cow
erninE the Contests.

Attention Called TO the HuleS Gov
erninE the Contests.
A. G. Spaldng, Director Of Sports at the
Paris Exposition, has issued instructions
to the various athletes who will compete
at the Paris sports in relation to the dir
ference between the rules that will gov
ern the shot putting there and American
rules. Instead Of being put from circle
the shot will be put from a square, and
the measurement will be from the nearest
break in the ground direct to the square
or prolongation Of the lines on each side.
This is similar to a rule in vogue in
America many years ago. The discus will
also be thrown from square instead OF
ring. In the international tug of war the
teams will consist of six men each.
Mr.. Spalding says, in answer to the
question as to who will do the handicap
ing. that it will probably be conducted
by the officials Of the Union des Societies
Franchises of Sports Athletiques. under
whose. rules ali competitions will take
place.
The contests designated in the official
programme as weight throwing contests
will consist Of putting the shot and throw
ing the hammer and discus. they having
eliminated the throwing of the fifty-six-
pound weight. Any style of hammer ham
die can be used.
The pole vaulting rules have apparently
been modelled after the English rules. and
our American pole vaulters will find that
they will be severely Handicapped in this
respect, for in America We have elimi-
mated the climbing OF the pole, while
Englishmen are allowed to. This may
give the Englishmen an advantage over
our American champions.
