CONSTRUCTION BEGUN
ON NEW ELECTRIC LINE
Plans to Complete the Road in Ten
Months, Officers of Company Say,
Are Well Under Way.

At the offices of the Washington, Bal
timore ana Annapolis Railroad Company,
in the Bond Building, it was stated yes
terday that the work OF constructing
the main line had already been begun,
gangs of men having been set to work
on the grading Monday last. Property
for the station has been bought at the
east. and it is not thought that opening
of the new union station TO outside com
panies will alter the plans of the pro-
motors of the company. The line will
extend from Fifteenth and H Streets to
Westport, near Baltimore, and it is
the purpose CT the promoters to provide
rapid interurtan communication at a
considerably reduced fare.
Special facilities will also be provid-
ed to enable farmers to quickly and in
extensively place their products on the
markets OF the two cities. many side
tracks being provided for the loading OF
the cars. The line will practically paral-
lei the Pennsylvania road, being to the
south of it. There are but few curves
and the promoters claim that ii is prac-
tically an air line.
The work on the Berwyn and Laurel
Branch is about completed with the ex
ception of the laying of the rails and If
these are delivered within the next few
weeks traffic between Washington and
Laurel will be opened by July l, as was
originally planned.
For the present this system will be
operated by the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, through cars being
run from Laurel to the Treasury Build
ing. After the completion of the power
plant at Odenton with feed wire ex-
tending to the branch system, 1t is not
known what provision will be made for
the operation of the line.
AS at present planned. there will be
no track connection between the main
line from Fifteenth and II Streets to
Westover and the Berwyn and Laurel
Branch, they being operated separately.
The officers in charge OF the affairs of
the company in this city are MIR. James
Christie, jr., and Mr.. a. L. Hughes.
Contracts have already been let for
the grading of the main line. which
work is under way. and contracts for the
delivery OF the best oak ties will be en-
tered into as rapidly as possible pro
viding for their immediate delivery on
the ground. Unless there is delay in the
delivery OF the rails, the road will be
in operation within ten months.

GENERAL OBSERVANCE OF
OF FLAG DAY ASKED
American Flag Association Pleads for
More Patriotic Celebration of
Historic June "a.

In calling the attention of the public
to the approach of Flag Day the Amer
lean Flag Association appeals for a
more general and enthusiastic celehra
ton than has yet been seen, and is en-
deavorinS to interest all patriotic citi
gems and societies in the annual event.
The selection of June II Tor this clelc-
bration was because on that day of III
Congress adopted the flag of the United
States practically as it now exists, aside
from the addition of stars for the States

societies. and the observance of the day
has grown rapidly in favor.

GENERAL SMITHS FATE
IN PRESIDENTS HANDS
Court-Martial Proceedings
Received From Manila.
Official Records to Be Reviewed by Mr..
Roosevelt at an Early Date-Strict
Secrecy Maintained.

President Roosevelt has received from
Manila the court-martial proceedings Of
the recent trial of Gen. Jacob H. Smith,
whose kill and-burn" order to the
troops under his command in Samar
created wide discussion in this country,
and he is now engaged in reviewing the
findings.
The Smith order to make Samar "a
bowling Wilderness" and on which the
court-martial was based. was seized by
some Of the Democrats in Congress as
the theme upon which to base many
sharp speeches against the Administra-
tion and it's whole Philippine policy.
This, however, was very largely coun-
teracted by the Presidents prompt and
aggressive action toward ascertaining
officially the truth of the charges.
Popular Judgment Suspended.
His announced determination that no
one, however high in position. should
go unpublished if charges of unusual
cruelty or other violations of the rules
of war should be proved against such
officer caused a very general suspen-
sion of popular judgment until the true
facts should be separated from the great
mass of vague reports growing out of
the affair
AS the awaited official records have
now been received, much interest is
felt in their contents. No prediction
can be made as to the probable time
when any public announcement will be
issued though because of the general
interest in the matter ii is confidently
believed that the President will remove
the Injunction of secrecy as soon as
possible Only the pressure OF other
important official matters, 1t is believed,
will be allowed to delay his considera-
ton of the findings.
Second Tribunal Appointed.
The Smith court-martial, which has
just sent ON the present report. was the
second tribunal named to consider the
Samar charges. The first court, con-
vened by the War Department in the
usual manner of army procedure. was
dissolved shortly after appointment,
and a new court was designated under
the Presidents general authority over
matters relating to the Philippines.
This change was due to a desire to
have the findings reviewed directly by
the President himself, instead of the
Secretary of War. on the ground that
the alleged cruelties, affecting the whole
population of Samar, related more par
ticularly to the general scheme of gov
eminent in the Philippines than to any
one department. such as the army.

GROUND BROKEN FOR CHURCH.
Work Begun on New Place Of Worship
for Grace Reformed.

Ground was broken yesterday for the
foundation of the new Grace German
Reformed Church which will take the
place of the modest little structure at
Fifteenth and o Streets northwest,
where President Roosevelt worships.
There were no exercises or ceremonies
when the first sDadeful of dirt was
turned under-the workmcn simply ar
rived and went to work.
1t is expected that the new ediiice
will be ready for occupancy before

not cost more than $4,000, and Will
possess the unique distinction of being
a church building without a debt on it,
The formal ceremony attendant upon
laying the cornerstone will take place
in about two weeks.

Court of Appeals Reverses
Lower Court.
WAS AT LARGE ON A BOND
Had Been Sentenced to Year and Six
Months in Moundsviile Penitentiary
for Alleged Fraudulent Use of United
States Mails.

In the case of Rev. Liston d. Bass,
who. about year ago, was convicted OF
unlawful use of the mails, the Court Of
Appeals yesterday reversed the judg
ment of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict and granted the defendant a new
trial. The opinion of the court was
announced by Justice Harry NJ. Cla-
baugh, of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict, who sat in the upper court during
the illness of Chief Justice Alvey, while
the matter was on hearing. After his
conviction the Rev. Mr. Bass was SEN
fenced to eighteen months imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at Mounds

Two True Bills Found.

Two indictments were found against
him. and Indictment numbered 22,s7l
charged him with devising a scheme or
artifice to defraud in the organization
and manipulation of what was called a
Bureau of Civil Service instruction. -
while Indictment numbered 22.s72 charg-
ed him with like device or artifice
through the organization and exploita-
ton of a Union Teachers Agency of
America" The first indictment con-
tanned three counts and charged that
the defendant used the mails by writing
and mailing letters to persons named
therein, in furtherance and in execu-
ton OF his scheme to defraud.
The second indictment embraces but
one count. and the charge is in respect
to letter written to Miss Jennie Belts,
at Holton. Ne.
The case was heard before Justice
Barnard. in Criminal Court No. l. of
the District Supreme Court. The Gov
eminent was represented by Assistant
District Attorneys Taylor and Bingham
and Charles A. Douglass and Greed NJ.
Fulton were counsel for the defendant.
The Washington times., 1902-06-05

The court sustained the appellant
sixth assignment. which stated that the
trial Judge permitted witness to an
swer questions about her father and her
financial condition.
One of the main contentious urged by
the appellant. covered by the eighth as
signment. is also sustained. The court
says: The eighth assignment OF errors
is based upon the admission by the court
of letters from Sunday school superin-
tendents to the Witness Bonner, and
TO the Witness Lee.
These witnesses had received from the
appellant notice of the existence OF va
cancies in certain schools; the witness
es thereupon wrote to the schools In ref
erence to the alleged vacancies; their
replies were thereupon offered and ad
mitted in evidence. There appears to
have been no attempt to show the gen.
uIneness of the handwriting or sigma
lures 10 the letters but the letters are
offered simply as proving themselves.
We think there was error in their ad-
mission for TIL, reason, but even If the
Authenticity II the letters had been
nroven. we do MOI link they were ad
missible."
The Court Of Appeals holds that the
trial Justice erred in refusing to permit
the appellant to show by his secretary
the purpose for which notice of vacan-
cies was sent out by the Union Teach
ers' Agency, as rejecting light upon the
intent of the defendant.
In deciding the question raised by the
eleventh assignment, the court says
THE complaint made by the eleventh
assignment of error is based upon the
courts refusal to permit the appellant

Trial Extended Weeks.

The trial extended over several weeks;
many witnesses from all sections CT the
United States were brought here to tes-
tify. and the cause attracted consid-
cradle interest both in Washington and
other parts of the country.
During the course of the trial many
exceptions were taken by the defendant
to the rulings of the court, and the jury
returned verdict of guilty on both in
dictments Motions for new trials being
denied. the defendant appealed the case
to the Court of Appeals. Justice Bar
rard sentenced Bass to the penitentiary
Tor eighteen months in each case, and in
addition thereto imposed fine of 81 600,
the maximum penalty of the law.
The section under which Bass was in
dicted provides that three offenses may
be charged in one indictment, provided
they have been committed within the
same six calendar months.
The Washington times., 1902-06-05
Court of Appeals Opinion.

The Court of Appeals. in passing upon
appellants first assignment for error.
says: An inspection Of indictment No.
%. 81 discloses the fact that the three
offenses charged were not committed
within the same six calendar months.
and. therefore. the demurrer TO this in
dictment ought to have been sustained.
The appellant complained that the
court below erred in consolidating the
TWO indictments and compelling him to
answer both indictments in the same
trial The appellate court sustains this
contention of the appellant, and holds
that the lower court committed error. :"
The trial court permitted a witness to
testify that the defendant mailed large
quantity of mail that was carried 10
South Carolina, and the Court of APP
peaIs SAYS. Even II the question was a
proper one, the appellant is certainly
not to be held responsible for what some
one else says out of his presence. We
think, however, the question itself was
not pertinent to the issue. The fact
sought to be shown might have been
good ground for another Indictment in
South Carolina. but the charge OF a
crime committed in another jurisdiction
could hardly be offered as evidence in
this cause. We, therefore. think there
was error in permitting the question and
answer to stand"

THE FIGHT AGAINST VAN DUZER.

That the Republicans will make a de-
termined attempt to defeat MI. Van Du-
ger for Congress is already developing.
The Gazette is publishing articles from
the Carson Appeal of 1901 that ripped
Van Duzer up the back for his action
while Speaker of the Assembly. 1t a
well-known fact hat the Appeal and Mr..
Van Duzer differed upon certain matters
before the Legislature and each urged
his views with all the power he could
command. The Gazette's object In repub-
fishing the Appeals articles now is not
to throw any light upon the controversy,
but to injure Mr.. Van Duzer as a cam
didate for Congress.
Admitting that Mr.. Van Duzer did all
as Speaker that the Appeal charged him
with at the time, it should have no effect
upon the voters in this campaign. He
stands before the people as a represen-
tative of great principles. His person.
atty is not in this fight, neither is his
quarrel with the Carson Appeal. Both
are side issues that should not figure in
the campaign.
The principles represented by Mr.. Van
Duzer rise above any man. They are vi
tai to the we'll being, happiness and pros
perity of the people of this State. AS an
advocate of those principles, he should
have the united support of all who agree
with them regardless of past quarrels.
All should stand firm and true.-Elko In

We have a distinct remembrance that
two years ago, and four years ago and
SIX years 6 the Republican newspa-
pers of Nevada were filled to overlooking
with foolish claims that the party was
going to sweep he State. But when
the votes were counted the Republicans
found they had been swept off the earth.
They will receive the same treatment
this year. But they should not be denied
any pleasure they derive from making
silly claims and statements.
