THE DAUGHTER
OF Gen. Robert e. Lee. Arrested
For Riding in a Jim
Crow Car.

All Of Virginia is excited because the
daughter of Gen. Robert E. Lee has
been arrested by an Alexandria police
man for riding on Jim crow car. Un-
der the new Virginia laws, Jim crow
cars are provided for the use of negroes
Penalties are pro vided for negroes rid
ing in the cars for white persons, and
the same penalties are fixed for white
persons riding in the Jim crow cars for
colored persons. These equal penalties
are necessary to make the law constitu-
tiopal.
Miss Mary Curtis Lee, daughter of
General Robert E. Lee, was going from
Washington to Alexandria yesterday
to visit q friend. The car for white
persons was crowded, and the one for
colored persons was empty. She took
the Jim crow car. Just as the car was
passing Arlington Heights, where the
home of her father is surrounded by
the graves of Union soldiers, she was
requested by the conductor to leave the
Jim crow car and stand up in the other.
She gave no attention to the cOnduc-
tors request beyond saying that she
was more comfortable where she was,
and would remain. He made the re-
quest more emphatic later, but she did
not obey.
When she reached Alexandria, the
conductor turned her over to the police,
and she was taken to the station. When
her identity was learned, many grizzled
veterans of the lost cause thronged the
old station house to secure her release.
The police officers were obdurste, and,
for time, a riot was imminent. Finally
the Mayor requested that she be re-
leased on. her personal recognizance.
Up to this time she had retained her
compOsure with visible effort, but as
soon as she had been escorted to the
home of her friend, where she was to
visit, by the grief stricken veterans
who struggled for the honor of carry.
ing her luggage and protecting her
from the crowd, she collapsed, and foi
the remainder Of the evening, was In
Mysteries. They were so angry at the
police for being so harsh with the
daughter of the beloved Lee, that II
would have taken but little to cause
them to attack the officers.
This morning she did not appear il
court, and there has been no decision q
to how her case will be disposed of
The Mayor said the car conductor di'
just right, and would have been fine'

Citizens Should Cut This Out and
Keep it in Conspicuous Place.
The following signals for use with
the new fire bell have been arranged
by the department:
For Curfew-three taps.
For meetings Of department-three
taps, pause, two taps.
For fires-sharp. quick, full strokes.
After ringing thus for several seconds
pause and give one, two or three taps,
according to which ward the fire is
situated in, the number of taps being
the number of the ward; then after
short pause continue sharp ringing.
This code, il followed, will soon be
familiar to all and the designation of
the ward will enable the firemen to
reach the point with greater dispatch.
