THE ANTI-sPITTINa LAW.
New Police Regulation Goes Into Effect
Today.

It was generally understood that the DO
lice would make no arrests today of vio-
lators OF the new anti-spitting regulation,
but many persons had their attention called
to the fact that the law Is on the statute
books and that prosecution will occur after
sufficient warning has been given. Pedes-
TRANS on the streets were seen to call at
tention to the law In jocular manner and
some OF them succeeded in getting some
amusement out Of the situation. Later the
fun will cease and violators of the law will
find themselves in custody and before the
Police Court.
A short time after the regulation became
effective. a tall man. whose apparel pro-
claimed him to be a countryman, appeared
on Pennsylvania avenue and got rid of a
big duid Of tobacco without considering
the question of sidewalk. He had gone
but few steps when a policeman appeared
and handed him card upon which was
a printed notice informing him Of the NUM-
cipal law that he had violated.
Il don't want any," the countryman said,
continuing on his journey.
But" the guardian attempted to ex-
plain.
But nothin'." the stranger interrupted.

TO TRY MURDERER
NAVAL CoURT-MARTIAL TO EEET
AT NORFOLK.
Death Penalty May Be inflicted on
William Anthony, Mess Attendant
on the Olympia.

For the first time in a great many years
the Navy Department has decided to try
man for an offense involving the possible
infection of the death penalty. The case In
point Is that OF William Anthony, a colored
mess attendant on the Olympia, flagship of
Rear Admiral Coghlan, commanding the
Caribbean squadron. Several months ago
this man got into an alteration on board
ship with another enlisted colored man and
stabbed him to death. 1t is alleged that the
deceased provoked the assault by making a
vile charge against Anthony.
Shortly after the occurrence Rear Adj
miral Coghlan appointed a court-martfal
for the trial of Anthony on the charge of
murder. The court convened at San Juan
during the cruise of the Olympia, but de-
clined to proceed with the trial the
ground that it had no Jurisdiction. Com
mander j. c. Wilson, commanding the Pan
Their, was president of the court
1t was contended by the court that the
alleged offense having been committed
within the Jurisdiction of the United States
was properly cognizable by the civil courts.
Rear Admiral Coghlan insisted that the
case was clearly within the jurisdiction of
the naval court, but as the court persisted
in It's stand 1t was decided to withdraw the
case from it's further consideration and or
ganize new court.
New Court to Assemble. $50,
Acting Secretary Darling has finally
adopted the view of the judge advocate
general of the navy that the case Is within
the jurisdiction of the naval authorities.
BY his direction new court-martial, Of
which Capt. w. T. Swinburne. commanding
the battle ship Texas, is president, and Capt.
Rufus H. Lane of the Marine Corps Is
judge advocate, will convene at Norfolk
in a few days for the trial Of the case. The
Olympia is now in that harbor.
During the Mexican war an enlisted man
in the navy was convicted of assaulting an
officer and was hanged from the yard arm
as a result of court-mart1al proceedings.
Since then the death penalty has never
been imposed in the navy in time of peace
as result of court martial proceedings.
the practice being to turn all capital cases
over to the civil authorities

auhering TO the old academy name,

1t is thought that there is a general

custom of calling one of the schools
in each county an academy.
