ADMITTED TO BAIL.
John Nelson Unable to Give Bond Ask
ed by Judge Love.

The hearing Of John c. Nelson, who is
charged with setting fire to the gambling
houses at Jackson City, was resumed this
morning before Judge ]. M. Love, sitting at
Alexandra county court house, at Fort
Myer Heights. The entire morning and part
of the afternoon were consumed by the
attorneys in arguing the question of bail.
Judge Love rendered his opinion. which
was. in part, as follows:
I'm reaching conclusion respecting the
case it is but proper that the court should
give the reasons for the decision The con-
clusion has been reached, following the
rules in Virginia. that while there is no
constitutional provision in respect to the
question, owing to the testimony on both
sides think this is a case in which it is
my duty toebail the prisoner.
''As to the effect of bail, there has been
no testimony showing what the result
would be. There. Is no evidence that he Is
going to commit crime The court must
pass upon the question based upon legal
evidence. In fixing bail the court proposes
to consider the fact that once before the
accused forfeited bail in this county. He
failed to appear for trial for many months
or years, and the court will consider this
in fixing bail.
The court thereupon announced that the
defendant would be released upon filing
bond in the sum tof 81. 600, to cover the sew.

secured when this report closed

ALLEGED GAMBLING.
Charge Made Against William L. Hor-
ret and Others.

William L. Horret Of this city was ar
rested last night shortly before midnight
by Constable r. H. Vincent of Hyattsville,
Md. at Chesapeake Junction, Md, on the
charge of conducting a gambling business.
Hornet, it is stated, was running sweat
cloth in an establishment known as Beach's
Inn. and it Is also alleged that shortly be-
fore his arrest was interesting some forty
sports in the game Of chance. He was
taken before Justice Of the Peace Alfred
D. Bailey of Bladensburg. and was re-
leased on bond in the sum of $50 for his APP
pearance before Justice Bailey the 9Th of
August.
Officer Vincent started for the junction
last evening, and secured entrance to
the gambling house unnoticed by the par
ties interested in the game. While watch
ing the game Mr.. Vincent was Joined by
Constable Webster of Oxon Hill. who was
later asked by Vincent to accompany him
into the room, but Webster stated that a
party had called to him. and that after he
had seen what they wanted he would come
back. This. it is stated, he failed to do.
Officer Vincent edged his way into the
room however and when the game was
brought to a close placed Hornet under ar
rest. Mr. Vincent stated that had he been
assisted he would have succeeded in corral
ing all who were engaged in the game
lie I1ydttSVHle dulloillieS, IL Is saiu' are
determined to put a stop to the alleged lille
gal practice at the junction, and have been
keeping a close watch on the different
places located in that vicinity. AS Is nearly.
always the case. however, whenever a war
rant is sworn out against one the accused
party Immediately fees beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the county. In order to cope with
this state of affairs, 1t Is stated, a number
of citizens Of the town of Hyattsville have
determined to apply to the courts for requi-
stion papers, and in this manner bring the
guilty parties to justice.
Warrants have been placed in the hands
Of Officer Vincent for the arrest Of three
other parties who are within the Dis
trict. 1t is understood that overtures Will
be made to the parties In question to OBJ
tain their consent to go out to the Mary

ARMY Is PREPARED
INSPECTION OF WAR DEPART
MENT OFFICIALS.
Return of Acting Secretary Sanger
Gen. Macarthur Much Interested
q
in Coming Maneuvers.

Acting Secretary Sanger returned to the
war Department today, having spent yes
terday in company with General MacAr-
thur and other officers Of the army who
are making tour Of the forts forming the
defenses of the eastern entrance of Long
Island sound, which is to be the scene Of
the army and navy maneuvers General
Gillespie, chief of engineers, Acting Signal
Officer scriven and representative Of the
ordnance bureau were Of the party.
Army is Prepared.
They found everything in excellent con-
dition to meet the navy in the coming en-
gagement, and 1t will make little differ
ence which of the five forts the navy at
lacks. The army is prepared to meet
them.
The additional batteries that have been
sent to these forts give more than double
garrisons and a sufficient force to man all
the guns all the time will be available.
Meanwhile the guns are being put into the
very best order and the machinery care
fully tested and such needed repairs as are
necessary to make it perfect are being
made. A supply. of ammunition in such
quantities as is needed to meet all re-
quirements has been ordered sent to the
several forts.
Cables connecting all the forts have been
tested and found in good order and ar
rangements are made for a complete signal
system. The fire control system and other
features of defense coming under the sig
nal corps are also found in good condition.
and before the maneuvers begin 1t is ex-
pected that it will be perfected. Some fea-
lures of signal operations are still under
considera ton. Wireless telegraph stations
are yet to be erected and points of observa-
lions chosen.
Use of Block Island.
1t has not yet been definitely determined
to use balloons, but they may be sent up
from Block Island. Just what use shall be
made of Block Island is yet an open ques-
ton. The weather bureau has a station
the island. and it could be used for a
signal station, but there are no defenses
at this point, small detachment from one
of the navy vessels could land and capture
the signal officer and such assistants as
he had with him. This would count
point in the score against the army, and
for this reason Block Island may not be
used. At the same time 1t is recognized
that Block Island is necessary as a point
Of observation, and in actual war would
be used even If 1t was known that the enc
my would capture the observer
Gen. Macarthur Is very much interest ed
in the coming maneuyers and is giving the
same care and attention to the defense as
he would if the maneuvers were to real
instead Of mimic warfare.

and too weak even to tell who had shot
him. The femoral artery was bleeding
freely, and in spite of efforts to staunch the
flow of blood the wounded man died almost
