LABOR CANDIDATE WON.
Henderson Carried IA Division THAI
Had Been Liberal.


Had Been Liberal.
London, July 25.-The election yes
terday in the Branard Castle division
of Durham county of a successor to
Sir Joseph Pease, Liberal, resulted as
follows: A. Henderson, Labor, $3.50;
w. L. Vane, Unionist, 1928; Mr.. Beau
mont, Liberal, 2.S09.
The result of the election was a COM
plete surprise for since 1885 the division
had returned a Liberal. 1t is another
of a succession of Labor victories in
recent bye-elections, and the result is
significant because Mr.. Vane is a
strong supporter of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's fiscal policy.
On the other hand, it is asserted that
the contest was more influenced by the
education act, the division being
strongly on-conformist.

Reception to W. r. G. Members.

Mrs. Philip Goundie was hostess in her
pretty I street home last evening to large
number of friends of the Department of the
Potomac. Woman's Relief Corps. Mrs.
Goundie has just been installed as senior
vice president Of Lincoln Corps. the largest
in the department. and the reception was in
the nature of a congratulatory jubilation.
The parlors were decorated in red and
green, and in the dining room and library,
where the supper tables were set, dark
red carnations were displayed. Handsome
silk flags were draped above the arches,
and smaller ones wreathed the chandeliers.
Before being seated at the tables, the party
united in the national salute to the flag.
1t was past midnight before the party
broke up. The cake walk, quaint, old-fash-
toned Virginia reel and the stately minuet,
to music furnished by the ladies present,
helped to make the evening memorable for
many pleasing features.
Mrs. Goundie was assisted in entertaining
by her daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Cross who
p1 esided at the coffee urn; Mrs Ida Chesel-
dine who served the punch, and Mrs. Liz
Zie Mason. Those present were Mrs. Rosa

Killed Seven at a Shot.

wild turkeys are still quite plentiful in
some parts Of North Carolina" said H. J..
Pentz of that state at the Raleigh, but
they will not last very long If they are
killed as rapidly as Gil McDuffey kills
them. that is certain. Just the other day
he killed seven turkeys at shot. 1t is
claimed that McDuffey has killed 1900 wild
turkeys and 500 deer in his time, besides
countless numbers Of small game.
1.-THE way he makes his war on turkeys
is by batting He finds where a flock Of
turkeys use and he lays a trail of corn
to a locality where he can arrange a good
blind. The blind is made, and plenty Of
corn Is put out for the turkeys not far
away and he is careful to place 1t in such
position that when the turkeys arrive
and commence to feed they will be punched.
He then secretes himself in the blind and
lies in wait for the turkeys. When they
get punched up over the corn one shot
from his gun Stays an enormous number"

THE FORGERY OF TICKETS.
A Loss of Over 100000 Caused to the
Railroads Last Year.

Representative railroad men from all
the important systems in the country will
meet in New York shortly for the purpose
of forming an association for protection"
said an official of the Southern Railway
Company today. Year after year has gone
by and the railroad companies have been
mulcted out of large sums of money by
fraudulent ticket brokers and the traffic
in fraudulent tickets and we propose now
to make an effort to put a stop to it.
These frauds include the forging Of
thousands Of tickets throughout, the plug
ging of cancellation marks on genuine lin
tied tickets, and the changing on skeleton
tickets of the names of departure and deS-
tination points. The vast extent of these
frauds and the ways in which they are
practiced by dishonest ticket bRkers and
their accompliceS are known. They have
been worse during the last year than ever
before, causing total loss to the railroads,
1t is estimated, of over 100000.
THE proposed organization is to copy
the protective features of the American
Bankers Association, employing detective
agency to track down the forgers and han
dlers of spurious tickets, and equally d.
Vtdlng the expenses of detection and pros
ecution among all the roads of the different
associations.
The project of combining all the impor-
tant lines for protection against ticket forg-
ers and their accomplices first pre-
serted 10 the general DOQy or passenger
agents over three years ago. Many of our
officials have been very active in the mat
ter ever since, doing missionary work on
behalf of the plans by means of cores
pondence and personal interviews. 1t is
scarcely surprising that much time has
been required to bring the project to the
eve of adoption, because it would be of
little value unless nearly 'all Of the impor-
tant roads in the country were included,
and it Is hard to get their representatives
together.
Such opposition as has been made to the
plan has been in some cases based on the
ground of expense, which l believe would
be comparatively small. In some instances,
too, the opponents of the projected union
might not have realized the Importance and
necessity of it.
Action in favor of establishing the Or
ganiZation has already been taken by the
Trunk Line Association, the Central Traffic
Association. the Western Traffic Associa-
ton and the New England Traffic Assoca-
ton. The general passenger agents of the
trunk lines decided to enter the protective
union after a meeting held in New York 4
few weeks ago. At the meeting to be held
this month it is hoped to secure the CO.
operation of the Transcontinental, South
ern and Southwestern associations The
seven associations that have been named
include all the important railroads in the

Unable to Tell How he Was Hurt.

Ernest Dove, resident Of Fairfax county
Va. was brought to the Emergency Hos.
pital last night about o'clock in an un'
conscious condition. He was suffering from

corning his experience last night and was
unable to give the surgeon any idea as to
how he received his injuries. The doctor

GLAD HE SCARED THEM
WILBERT LOFTS EXPLOITS AT
COLONIAL BEACH EXPLAINED.
Detective Hartigan Brings Him to
This City-Supposed to Be I'm
plicated in Murder.

Detective Hartigan returned this morn
ing from Colonial Beach with Wilbert Lee
Lott colored, in custody. The officer went
to Virginia because of report that man
believed to have committed one of the muir
ders here was in hiding there. When the
officer reached the Virginia resort yesterday
morning he found that Lott had the colored
people, as well as many Of the whites, SO
badly frightened that many of them were
unable to sleep at night. He went there
about ten days ago, after he had had trou-
BILE with a policeman in this city, and his
several stories in explanation Of his pres
ence there in the middle of the winter
aroused suspicion He went to the house
of his uncle, John Tibbs. about four miles
from the river. People on the boat and on
the shore were apparently anxious to know
something of his business, and he was very
much annoyed by them. 1t was for this
reason, he states, that he told them differ
ent stories about himself. 1t was true that
he had trouble with policeman before he
left here, and his head was cut. One story
he told was that he had cut policeman,
and he gave the impression that the police
man was in serious condition.
Family History.
The young mans father once killed q
man, 1t is said and died in the Richmond
penitentiary. A brother who was arrested
in this city by Detective Hartigan several
years ago died in the penitentiary at AL
bany. The people in the neighborhood Of
the Tibbs home knew of these incidents in
the family history, and were naturally I'M
easy. One man who went down the river on
the boat with Lott and heard his story had
remained awake. he said, every night since
he reached home. Detective Hartigan
heard stories of the alleged desperate char
acter Of Lott, and he went to the house
with Town Sergeant Bllingsly Of Colonial
Beach prepared for trouble. Lott was
found seated near a stove, but the cracks
in the walls were so wide that the room
was not much warmer than 1t was outside.
No resistance was offered, and Lott seemed
glad of the opportunity to return to the
city.
The detective had known the prisoner in
this city as Wilbert Hall, the name of his
stepfather. There were blood stains on the
young mans shirt, and he leadily accounted
for them by explaining that he had prob
ably been struck by policeman New Year
night, when he managed to escape He had
been drinking, he states, and the next
morning when his mother asked how he
received the injuries he had an indistinct
recollection, he replied, of a policeman's
to think he had perpetrated a good joke on
the people about the vicinity of his uncle's
house, and expressed satisfa ction at being
able to brighten them, because he said
they We're SO inquisitive.
The man was transferred to the Police
Court this morning to answer to charge
of the theft of one bushel of coal from
William M. Netherland of 1913 18th street
northwest. The witnesses for the govern
ment had not been summoned to appear in
court and the case was continued until to-
morrow.

BERLIN, April 25.--(New York World
Cablegram - Special Telegram. )-wiIliam
Won Polenz, . widely known German pub
lieist, in an interesting article in the
Deutsche Rundschau on the American
character, says OF the American man:
His knighthood shows itself most dis
tinctly in his attitude toward women. The
American does not go into raptures about
women or walk on stilts like the old
Minnesingers or the degenerate literary
youths Of France. Reserved and self-con-
scious. he permits woman TO reign in her
own realm. regarding her as neither an
angel nor a pet animal; aware that she is
bodily weaker. but that her spiritual SUPER
iority is far beyond his range.
THE simplest man in America Is a knight
in this respect. and, in general. the Amer
lean has a finer feeling for the proprieties
and a higher developed sense OF justice
than the German"
