PRIVATE PANCOAST DIES OF
WOUNDS; MAN UNDER ARREST

time to time there has been trouble be-
tween soldiers stationed at Fort Myer
and certain persons who frequent the
saloons at Rosslyn. The village itself,
understand. is hamlet at the south
end of the Aqueduct Bridge, composed
mainly OF saloons.
Tuesday night an artilleryman named
Harry C. Pancoast got into trouble al
Rcsslyn, and was shot three times in the
back with pistol. 1t is more than
probable tnat the disturbance OF We'd
nesday night resulted from a spirit CT
revenge on the part Of the soldiers. The
matter is now being investigated: sew
eral soldiers are already under arrest.
and future action will depend upon the
result OF the investigation.
"A mounted patrol was sent to Ross
lyn when the news OF the attack on the
! saloon was received at this post. No
soldiers were found about the salocn,
and everything was then comparatively
quiet. Apparently he disturbance last
ed but few moments.
Shortly after the disturbance was
over, two soldiers, members of the Sig
nal Corps stationed at this post. while
returning from the city, were set upon
py ltubS III IloSSlNu, were Ddu1y
beaten. The soldiers say that at that
time they knew nothing of the disturb
ance at the saloon"
Investigation Started.

The attention of Judge Love, in the
Alexandria county court. yesterday, lie
directed Sheriff Palmer to investigate e
the affair.
Later in the day Sheriff Palmer visited
Geary's saloon in Rosslyn, where he
made numerous inquiries, in an effort to
ascertain how many and what soldiers
engaged in the riot, and more especially
whether, as is reported, any civilians
from Rosslyn or this city we're impl-
Gated in any way in the wrecking OF the
barrooni.
A representative of the Quartermas-
ter's Department of the War Depart
ment visited the Gecry saloon yestcr-
day and talked with the proprietor. The
matter of damage sustained by Geary
was touched upon, and the department
official inquired as to the names and
homes of certain persons who may he
summoned as witnesses, should the in
vcstigation reach the civil courts. On
returning to this city, the official inti
mated that he knew of certain civilians
v.ho had taken a hand in the attack Oh
the saloon, and said they might be ar
rested.
Mr. James Geary. proprietor of the
wrecked saloon, has engaged counsel.
and will endeavor to obtain damages
from the Government.
On the advice of his lawyer. he re-
quested Sheriff Palmer last night to ap-
point three citizens Of the county to ap-
praise his damage, including the loss to
his business because OF the wrecking OF
his saloon. This appraisement will
probably be made this morning. The
less thus determined will be submitted
to the War Department, together with
claim for damages. II is now thought
the loss will fall somewhat below $4,000.

meantime to enact general code bill

Have Similar Charters.
Columbus and other cities have char
tors similar to that OF Cleveland. and
are operated under what is known as
the federal plan. Those who have been
laboring zealously for several years for
the enactment Of code bill will demand
that the Legislature be convened in ex-
traordinary session for the purpose OF
enacting such law.
Another blow was given to special
legislation In decision handed down in
Toledo case. by which Mayor Jones. OF
that city, gets control over the police
department. The Legislature abolished
his police board and provided for the
appointment OF a new one by another
name, the purpose being to give the Re-
publicans control of the police depart
ment.
The court also handed down a decision
directing Governor Nash to appoint
lieutenant governor in place Of Lieuten-
ant Governor Nippert. who resigned last

when the crowd saw that there were

them started in to wreak vengeance
upon the two for their conduct at the
saloCn.
One of the soldiers escaped, but Pan

was left to die.
Some enc struck him on the head with
the butt end OF 4 gun and raised trc-

This blow may have been responsible
for his death, as it is believed to have
either fractured his skull o. caused
cerebral hemorrhages.

TIMES NEWSBOYS BAND
PUTS In A BUSY DAY
Accompany Sons of Jonadab
to Chesapeake Beach.
Contribute In the Evening to Success
of Lawn Fete at Home of MIR.
A. Loefer.

Through the generosity of Pioneer
Council. No. /, Sons OF Jonadab, 800
children were yesterday afforded day
of unlimited pleasure in a trip to Ches-
apeake Beach. They were accompanied
by the Washington Times Newsboys
Band. who co-opeTated with Prof.
Haley's band in providing such music
as the children had never before heard.
1t was an all-day jaunt. and for hours
the youngsters battled with the pillows,
disported themselves upon the sandy
beach. INDUCED in all kinds of sports,
enjoyed tempting repast provided tor
them by the committee in charge OF ar
raDgements, and finally we're returned
to their homes, as weary a lot of young
sters as ever laid their heads upon a
pillow.
Excursion a Success.
The excursion was the first venture Of
the kind on the part OF those in charge
but everything was carried through
without hitch, and in a manner that
reflected credit upon everyone Long be-
fore the hour set for the children to
Congregate at the various points OF rem
devious about the city, they began 10
put in an appearance, and the managers
at these points had their hands full in
looking after the youngsters.
From these places the children were
conveyed on special cars TO the Junction
where they bearded the special train
for the beach. They were accompanied
or the trip by the Washington Times
Newsboys' Band, who enlivened the en-
tire iun with lively music that kept the
restless little feet on the go throughout
the entire ride.
1t was busy day for the Newsboys
Band. as after contributing to the pleas
ure Of these at the beach they were hur-
ried back to the city. arriving here at
G:30 O'Clock. and taken direct to the
magnificent suburban residence of Mr.
\. Loeiicr where they were one of the
most prominent attractions at the lawn
fete given by the Ladies of the Eastern
Star for the benefit Of their charity fund.
The place was magniicently decorated
with innumerable small electric globes,
and the beautiful lawns presented an
appearance that even to the tired little
musicians made the departure FOR home
difficult. the grounds were donated by
Mr.. Loefer, who also provided the cleo
trical illumination and many other lit
tie accessories that added much to the
success of the occasion.
Plea for Funds.
The committee in charge of the street
ar fund was busy yesterday sending out
communications to the various charita-
bly, inclined people throughout the city,
and il is thought that returns will be
coming in within the next few days
