PLUNGES INTO A LAKE.
Colored Man Being Pursued Endeavors
to Escape Arrest

An amusing incident occurred in the Ag-
ricuitural Department grounds this morn
ing. A young colored man nomed William
Walker was being pursued by Policeman
Charlton, and in his endeavor to escape ar
rest Walker jumped into the lake. He
was suspected of having picked up two
empty crates belonging to Mr.. A. c. Belt
of Anacostia. and it was for this alleged
infraction of the law that the bicycle DO
liceman pursued him.
Upon reaching the grounds Walker turn
ed and ran in the direction of the lake.
Overheard he went, whether purposely or
accidentally. he did not say. When the
officer reached the lake he found Walker
standing in the deep water beyond his
reach. The colored man refused to come
ashore and the joke he was playing on the
officer was evidently amusing to him. Final
ly the policeman procured a piece of rope
and by its aid succeeded in compelling
Walker to come ashore. He was then es-
corted to the police station and charged
with larceny.
The police were unable to give him a
change of wearing apparel and his expert
ence proved an uncomfortable one He will
have to face Judge Mills tomorrow morn
ing and answer to the charges

Horse and Automobile.
From the New York Pos


There is some talk of a school wherein
horses may be educated out of their fear of
automobiles; whether this would serve or
not is another question, but here is a little
instance of what one sensible, consIderate
automobile driver did for the sake of
frightened horse.
The automobile had come to a standst;1,
in the roadway to permit the passage Of a
small and apparently very young horse in
trotting rig attached to a training suIkv
The motor had not been shut off, so the
machine kept chug-chug -chugging as the
horse approached. With snort and a
leap the. horse 0~hirled to the side of the
road, nearly throwing out the man In the
sulky. Then thg automobilist shut off tbe
motor and called to the driver: .sWait a
moment Until the animal quiets down. then
drive him up slowly while 1 sit still
This the erdrirer did, and when the horse
was within ten or twelve feet of the ma
chine, his progress toward it having been
slow and d0fearfuiJ the automobiIist got ont
took the horse by the bride and led him
carefully, up to the car, patting the animal
the while and talking to 1t. Now, look It
over. smell 1t, see there's nothing to hurt
you 4 =-a a.
For fully five minutes the horse was ner-
mitted to- inspect the machine. and at Ia Of
it seemed quite accustomed to r. After
that the horse was driven back and forth
several times without evincing the slight
est fearno The automobilist did not START
his car until ths horse was almost ont of
sight.

CONDITIONS IN VENEZUELA.
Minister Bowen Can Now Spare Two
of the War Vessels

The State Department is in receipt of a
cablegram from Minister Bowen. at Cara
cas-. saying that he could spare two of the
war vessels now in Venezuelan waters. This
information is taken to mean that the sit
uatiOn in Venezuela has improved SO far
that little danger now threatens American
interests.
The fact that two of the three American
warships now in Venezuelan waters can
be spared will permit the Navy Department
to dispatch the Marietta to Colon, to which
place she was proceeding when, in response
to Minister Bowens' call, she was diverted
TO Venezuela. The maintenance of an
American warship on the gulf side of the
isthmus is necessary to insure transit
across the isthmus which the United
States is bound by treaty stipula-
tion. The Topeka will be Immediately or
dered north, and she will be followed by
the gunhOat Machias as soon as Com
mander McCrea considers it safe for him
to leave Cape Haytien. The latter ship has
had a long seige in tropical waters, having
been stationed at Colon for sometime be-
fore she went to Hayti. The departure of
these two ships for home will leave the
Cincinnati In Venezuelan waters and the
Marietta on the coast of Panama to look
after American interests.

SPECIAL INSPECTOR.
Physician Named to Assist in Investi.
cation of Typhoid Fever Causes.

The District Commissioners today ap-
proved the recommendation of DR.. w. c.
Woodward, the health officer, to employ
the services of DR.. Arthur NJ. Macnamee as
special sanitary inspector to assist the
health department in carrying on an inves-
tisation into the causes of the individual
cases of typhoid fever during the present
prevalence of the disease. DR.. Macnamee is
to receive 81 day for his services and
$40 will be allotted for transportation from
place to place in the District. In recon-
mendng and explaining the appointment
DIR. Woodward says:
The particular object of this appoint
ment is 10 enable the health department to
determine promptly and accurately the
sources of drinking water and of the milk
supply used by patients reported as suffer
ing from typhoid fever, so as to enable it
t. discover at the earliest possible moment
the occurrence of an undue number of pa
uents among the consumers of water or of
milk from any one source. This work has
been done and is being done by the medical
sanitary inspector in the scarlet fever and
dlphtheria service. So far as he has been
doing and is able to do it Is an incident to
his proper work, without increasing the
charges against the appropriation for the
maintenance of that service.
AS the work has increased his labors
have been supplemented by those of the
iCSuldl ihSpSClIoI iOTCe Oh the OeDartm
so far as has been possible without detri-
ment to their regular duties. In view
however, Of the very considerable number
of cases reported and of their location
throughout the entire District, it Is now
Impossible to secure data from such cases
with sufficient promptness to enable the de-
partmert to take suitable action to protect
the health of the community. In view of
these facts 1t is submitted that the above
appointment and allotment can be properly
made as charges against the emergency
fund

Pistols Rented for Ten Years.

From the Charlotte tN c. Daily Observer
Dealers throughout the state have hit
upon an ingenious way of evading the new
pistol law which went into effect on July
l. By recent act Of the legislature It is
against the law to sell or offer for sale
pistol less than twenty inches in length or
or weight less than three pounds which
meant IN the original purpose the non-sale
or the firearm. But dealers have taken ad-
vantage Of the fact that the statue says
nothing concerning the leasing of a pistol
to any one who may be desirous of pos
sessing the weapon. The following adver-
tsement appears in one of the papers Of
Spartanburg:
The new pistol law prohibits the sale of
pistols Call at my store and 1 will rent
you one for any length OF time"
Ine time for which a weapon Is leased
or rented Is ten years, which amounts to
practically sale. A pistol worth So is
transferred to the lessee for eight years
Ihere seems to be consciousness on the
part or the buyer that the pistol is not to
De transferred even at the expiration Of
the lease and that the transaction settles
the matter.
