BY BOAT CAPSiZING
ONE MAN WAS DROWNED
Edward Walsh Lost His Life; His Com
panions Were Saved.

In the swirling waters OF the Potomac
River. under the Aqueduct Bridge, a
small row boat was capsized last even
ing. which resulted in the drowning of
Edward Walsh a laborer employed by
the Government, living at First and l.
Streets northwest. His three compan-
ions managed to keep above water until
some fishermen near by rescued them.
Walsh's body was recovered four hours
after the accident.
In the boat al the time. besides Walsh,
were Thomas Colbert, of Delaware Ave
nue. northeast; Charles Leer, of 1913
Sixth Street northeast; and Samuel
Nally, of SO Delaware Avenue north
east. The quartet started out early in
the afternoon, having engaged the tiny
craft, a t-bottom affair, at Reynolds
wharf, at the foot of Thirty-fourth
Street. They rowed slowly upstream to
Rosslyn, Va, and then decided to re-
turn.
The trip back was uneventful until the
bridge had been reached. While passing
under the structure Nally and Colbert
tried to change positions. The boat was
tipped over slightly and Colbert was
thrown out, causing it to capsize COM
pletely. All four were hurled into the
water and then began struggle for life.
The accident was seen by a large
crowd OF fishermen and occasioned in
tense excitement. Without moments
loss several of the spectators rowed
to the spot, and three of the I'M
fortunate pleasure seekers were pulled
out of the water by D. 5. Clair and his
son, who had been fishing near by. They
were taken ashore and sent to the
Georgetown University Hospital.
The body of Walsh was recovered at
II O'Clock last night by the crew of the
police boat.

GRAPH0PHONE COMPANY
SUED FOR ROYAL TIES
William Herbert Smith Seeks to Re
cover $4,000.

William Herbert Smith today filed
suit in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict against the American Graphophone
Company to recover s110,0 900 alleged to
be due for royalty on master records,
manufactured on a certain invention
called "P" cylinder.
1t is explained that the '-P' cylinder
was invented and patented by Frank l..
Cops, who sold two-thirds interest TO
Victor H Emerson and William Herbert
Smith. The three owners, Cops, En-
erson. and Smith. sold the patent rights
to the American Graphophone Company
for $4,000. in June, 1899. By the terms
of the sale, it was agreed that the Amer
lean Graphaphone Company bargained TO
royalty of / cent on each record made
under the Cops patent. or on any i'm
provement of the same.
On March last, it is said, Smith pur-
chased from Cops and Emerson their
rights in the patent of the Pr cylinder
The terms of the purchase included all
and any rights they may have had in &C
cumuiated royalties. Mr.. Smith says the
American Grapho2hone Company has re-
fused to pay to Cops. Emerson or him
self the royalties which are due them
Worthington, Head Frailey are
named as counsel for the plaintiffs.

TACOMA. Wash. May IL - Twenty
five millions will be added to the worlds
gold supply by the clean-ups now in
progress in the Klondike, Forty Mile.
Atlin and Nome districts. Water is
running freely throughout the Klondike,
giving miners a supply sufficient to
wash out the immense dumps piled up
during the winter. The yield of Gold
Run. Dominion and Sulphur creeks is
larger than anticipated.
Between now and August the klondike
district will ship out S15.000.0 goo of gold.
The Atlin camp will produce 81 100000,
and Forty Mile $4,000. 600 The Chicken
and the creeks of Forty Mile will yield
the greatest output in their history. and
Nome will produce at least $4,000. 600.
The output of these districts will be
still greater in another year, when
larger hydraulic plants now being in
stalled are in full operation.

ONCE IN PUBLIC EYE
WAS BATTERED TRAMP

NEWARK, n. J., May 11.-Lying on
the sidewalk, evidently suffering, was a
tramp, He was sent to the City Hos

tentiOn to the injury.
The sufferer presented sad appear
ance. His clothing was old and torn.
Asked who he was, he replied:
Il am Chester Wolverton. Everybody
in New Jersey knew of me at one time.
Chester Wolverten was leading fig
ure in the bitterest political fight in
New Jersey. He was a bright young
lawyer, with a large practice in the
Hunterdon courts, when he was elected
to the Legislature in 1895. He was re-
elected for two succeeding terms. He
was one CT the Democratic leaders in
the lower house when the memorable
contest for United States Senator to sue
coed Gen. William j. Sewell took place
in 1887.
The Legislature was almost evenly di-
vided politically, the Democrats hay
ing a narrow margin when aided by two
Labor members from Passaic county.
The choice of the Democratic caucus
was Leon Albeit. The two Labor mem
bers refused to vote for General Sewell
the Republican nominee.
The result was "a deadlock TheT
there was a climax when Wolverton and
DR.. William H. Baird, of Warren coup
ty, bolted from Albeit and voted fol-
Rufus Blodgett.- The Republicans swung
solidly to Blodgett and he was elected

NO LONGER RUNNING

W. Auhagen, of 2140 P Street north
west, recently wrote to the District
Commissioners requesting information
about the operation of the large yellow
cars on the Georgetown branch OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany He said he was under the impress
sion that owing to the objections urged
against those cars year or more ago.
some regulation had gone into force pro
hibiting their operation. He informed
the Board that for several days the cars
had been run on the road the same as
last year.
An investigation was made and A. l..
Thomas. of the Engineer Department.
reported the cars were withdrawn at
the request OF residents and property
holders along the line. He said the only
regulation affecting the operation of
these cars was in the charter OF the
company. which required the cars 90 be
first-class, with all modern improve
ments. Mr.. Thomas reported that the
large cars IN use on the line last sum-
mer were now operated on the Bsrwyn
line
The substance OF this report will be
sent 10 Mr. Auhagen by direction OF the
Commissioners.

THREATENED WITH
EXCONMUN|CATION
Priest Orders Church lnfantrymen
to DiSband.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Unless they
disband within a month the members OF
the Newark IN j. Catholic Infantry
will be communicated by the Church.
This announcement was made last Sun
day and Yesterday by the Rev. Father
Polycarp from the pulpit in st. Mary 5
Roman Catholic Church.
This is the result of a difference that
arose last summer. when the Rev.
Father Ildephonse was transferred from
St. Mary's to st. Anselm's College. at
Manchester, n. H. He organized the
cadet corps in 1897. and its members
were displeased at his going away. and
made every effort possible to have the
order Cancelled.
Failing in this they resigned in body
and in September of last year organized
the Catholic Infantry. which now has
100 members
There has been considerable friction
between the infantrymen and the priests
of st. Mary's Church. and it is said that
the former have made efforts looking
to the removal of Father Polycarp. On
the other hand, the parishioners say
they have frequently been warned from
the pulpit TO keep away from the social
affairs of the infantrymen.
Now the matter has been brought to a
head by the threat of communication
and it is declared that the infantrymeI
will not give up their organization OF
their church without a fight
