GEN. M'ARTHUR WITNESS
IN A POLICE COURT
His Chinese Cook Escapes Penalty
Through His Testimony.

1--WE had General Macarthur In a police

half Of his Chinese cook. who had got
ten into trouble by arguing too en-
Enthusiastically with a white citizen The
Mongolian. whose name was Yee Gee.
Insisted that he be allowed TO have
witness called. and when he was asked
whom he wanted he named General
Macarthur.
"a subpoena was consequently pre-
pared and served, and the general ap-
peared in the court. although his civilian
suit and quiet demeanor prevented him
I from being recognized by many OF thosS
present His testimony was merely that
/ Yee had possessed an excellent repu-
tation In army circles and that he had
never been known to get into trouble
before. The general further added tha.
/ n the court found It necessary TO hn1
the prisoner guilty It would be well 70
innict a fine instead Of Imprisonment.
and the witness would pay It.
The court. however. decided that tbs
generals word as 10 the past and his
nronise TO watch over his servant in
the future was sufficient to warrant his
release and the case was dismissed The
general Immediately invited the court
I 10 come down and taste some OF fee's
cooking. and received a promise that
he would do so. and also received an
invitation TO dine with the court
"Yee Gee listened to the progress OF
the case with a broad grin on his face.

THE HERO OF QuANTICO FOLKS

The railroad built through the town
shortly after il was laid out. The
banker who was backing the hotel died
and it fell into ruins. People in Guam

prosperity to the railroad. Now they
think Max Lansburgh. of Washington,
the present owner Of the town site, Is
running the place because he will not
sell any OF his property.
DR.. Langley has rescued Quantieo
from obscurity for the time being. The
large crowd OF visitors recalls the days
when the old hotel wGs not a weather
beaten ruin. and the old residents OF
the deserted town are dreaming of :
revival of the good times when steamers
stopped at Quantico and building lots
were Cor sale.

Quantico should be rechristened Lang

The distinguished secretary OF the
Smithsonian Institution and his flying
machine have rescued the dilapidated

1896 have again come to life. and some
OF them have even walked four miles
down the Potomac TO Whitewater, where
Prof. Langley and his assistants are now
preparing TO test the aerodrome.

From the tenor OF Mossburg's testi-

witness intimated, the accused private
had confessed accepting the money. He
also said the incident was common talk
among policemen, and that the affair had

declaration of Mahaney that he could not
tell whether or not the young man in

he had known Mahaney for two years.
The next witness was Policeman c. w
