ment which the support of the citi-

having had part in the making of the
new Capital.
Work Becoming Difficult.
THE administration OF the executive
government of the District OF Columbia
becomes more difficult and more exacting
every year. II is a great business ma
chine. the largest, as well as the most
important. business in the District, and
1t demands instant and constant atten-
ton. Elsewhere similar governments
may be run as political machines, if, in
deed, in every other case they are not
run by a political machine, but here we
have the equivalent of a great corpora
ton on it's business side, while on the
political side we represent little state,
having larger population than any one
of six of the greater States, and
at the same time the in .erests of the
National Government land, of the people
of the whole country. There is honor in
such responsibility. but its chief value
is the unique opportunity it gives for
public service
The outlook of the District govern
ment, and of all the interests committed
TO its care, is now so bright that We
can have nothing but hope as We face
the future"

TINES CAMERA CONTEST
AROUSES INTEREST
First Weeks Entries Show Evil
dence of Much Originality.

The camera contest announced by
The Times has aroused much interest
among local amateur photographers. and
the ready response the suggestion has
evoked proves that Washington has its
full share of energetic picture makers.
Many noteworthy prints were submit
ted last week to The Times. prints
which evidenced not only the pre-
scribed originality in subject but
progressiveness as we'll. One particular
ly up-to-date photograph represented
the hulk of the old ferryboat Columbia
recently burned at its wharf al the foot
of Seventh Street.
The first weeks contest closed last
night and the three pictures winning
the first, second. and third prizes. re-
spectively. will be printed in The Times
Sunday. May q. On the same day three
others deserving honorable mention will
test will close next Saturday night ana
the pictures Of highest merit will appear
in The Times of Sunday, May 81.
That the contest has aroused a wide
interest is manifest in the number OF
requests which have reached The Times
that the competition shall not be linn
tied to the District of Columbia. In or
der TO meet this request the conditions
have been so changed that anyone re
siding within twenty miles of the Capt.
toll Building may be eligible.
The far-famed beauty of the Capitol
City offers excellent opportunity TO the
photographer, yet it is surprising to
note the attitude with which the anna
teur has taken advantage OF these OPP
portunities. Many unique subjects have
been chosen by way of complying with

tention given 10 such details as develop

FOR HIGHWAY BRIDGE

General Gillespie. the Chief of Engiz
neers, received yesterday from Colonel
Allen, the engineer officer in charge
OF the improvements upon the Potomac,
the new specifications for the highway
bridge. Several weeks ago the War De-

TO the fact that each was in excess of
the limit of appropriation fixed by Con-
gress, which amounts to $4,000.
AS soon as the new specifications are
approved by the Secretary of War bids
Will be asked for. II is proposed to al

SIX YEARS IN PRISON
Former Mayor Convicted of Col
Letting Graft.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 16.-After
listening to the appeal of the counsel
of former Mayor A. A. Ames for mercy,
Judge Elliott this morning sentenced the
once powerful political leader TO spend
six years at hard labor in the State pen
itentiary.
A bond Of $19 900 was accepted by the
court and DR.. Ames will not have to go
to prison until the supreme court has
passed on his appeal.
DR.. Albert a. Ames was arrested on
February Is last at Hancock, y. H. as
a fugitive from justice. The disclosures
which had been previously made consti-
tuted one of the most noted OF recent
municipal scandals.
The last of the six indictments return
ed against DR.. Ames, and the one on
which he was convicted, charged the
collection OF graft" by Irwin Gardner
and traced 1t from the moment it was
alleged to have been paid to Gardner up
to the time it was said TO have been de-
livered to the mayor

dictments before he fed TO New Hamp-
shire. The first was found against him

LORENZO NOT KILLED
FOR POLITICAL CRIME
Colombian Minister Explains Exc
cution of Former RevoIutiCniSt.

Widespread interest in a report that
Victoriano Lorenzo. a former revolu-
tionary leader in Colombia, had been
against the government, was dissipated
yesterday by DR.. Herran, the Colon
bian charge d'affaires in Washington.
who denied the accuracy of the reasons
alleged. Lorenzo was shot after con-
viction by a court-martial Of having
committed different crimes, Dr. Her
ran said. but these offenses had taken
place before the beginning of the war
and were Of a common order.
Lorenzo was an Indian chief said
DR.. Herran yesterday, and exercised
power over several hundred people in
the district between Panama and Costa
Rica. That section was a hotbed OF
revolutionists, and he created a great
deal of trouble. But the crimes for
which he was executed occurred long
before his participation in the rebellion.
A Career of Crime
I'm brief, his career of the past few
years included long period of depreda-
tions, in consequence of which he was
put into the penitentiary in Panama. He
had been incarcerated but short time
when he managed to escape Thereupon
he plunged into the war and gave great
assistance TO the revolutionists, as he
was crafty and daring and exercised
full sway over his people.
After a time he was captured, and
for safekeeping was put on board a
war vessel commanded by Captain Mar
maduke. of the Missouri family of
that name. In spite of the latter's vigil
lance. and the fact that his vessel was
manned by a picked crew. Lorenzo
again escaped. He always controlled
sums of, money, and the only explana-
ton ever suggested was that his friends
in the tribe made good use of it.
Not Tried for Political Crimes.
after his second escape Lorenzo was
again captured and strongly guarded.
He was tried for the crimes committed
before the revolution, for which he was
originally held in the penitentiary
These crimes were OF a wholesale sort
and Of revolving nature. Efforts TO
have the death sentence committed were
unayailing, and the death penalty has
been inflicted, the press dispatches say
His execution. as will be seen. was not.
therefore, for political crimes in con-
nection with the recent revolution"

CHAMBERLAIN FAVORS
PREFERENTIAL TARIFFS
Would Have Reciprocity With
England'S Colonies.

LONDON. May 16.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain last night made his
first address to his constituents at
South Africa
He declared that on the imperial pol
icy of the next few years depended
whether the British empire should stand
together as one free nation against the
world or fall into separate states sell
fishly seeking their own interests and
losing the advantages which unity alone
could give. If separation began with
Irish home rule, the empire would dis
solve into its component atoms.
He asked the country to think what it
meant to England as a power and as an
influence among the nations and to the
trade and commerce of England, If,
when the population Of the colonies
equaled or exceeded that of England,
they were still united.
Mr. Chamberlain launched into a re-
markable suggestion. advocating de-
parture from the existing interpreta-
ton of free trade. He proposed the es-
tablishment of preferential tariffs be-
tween the colonies and Great Britain,
and was cordially Endorsed by his au-
dience. His main point was that the
present position of affairs IN this re-
spect was incongruous, and that new
situation must be met by new policy.
He recalled that Canada In 1898 volun-
tarily offered Great Britain prefer
ence of Is per cent, which it had since
Increased TO SO i-3 per cent, and he
pointed out how British trade with
Canada has since grown.

Seeing that the man paid not the
slightest attention to the signals, the en-
gineer attempted to stop the train. but
the momentum was too great to be
overcome. and the pilot struck Higgins,
knocking him from the track and killing
him instantly.
