The Danger From Rifle Practice.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
At the request of the citizens of this place
1 ask that you kindly grant us space for
reply to Major Bells article of July %
Under the caption. mo Longer a Menace"
he says: The conditions which did exist
during the time that the cavalry occupied
the range ceased from and after June 3d.
the day following the day on which the
accidental shooting of Mrs. Wheeler oc-
cured The truth of the matter is that
Mrs. Wheeler was shot on June IS at 800 D.
m, and while firing ceased for the balance
of that day, 1t began afresh bright and
early on the morning Of the day following
Maj Bell further says: The marines con-
tinued their practice. however, until We'd
nesday, July 10, but l failed to find upon
inquiry that there were any of the shots
fired by them which went beyond the prop
erty leased by the National Rifle AsSocfa-
ton, which the range is located" AS to
this we would say that If Major Bell made
inquiry in this neighborhood he was given
ample proof of the fact that bullets have
never ceased to come this way. Balls are
passing over this way every day that prac-
tice at the range continues, though in
smaller numbers on account of the de-
creased number of men shooting. We wish
to deny that any backstop ever placed there
has prevented the balls from coming this
way. The hill at the back of the range is
much higher than any backstop that has
ever been placed there, and this place is
from sixty to eighty feet higher than the
hill. Mr.. sGillingham, a resident of this
place, has no less than half dozen pune
lures in his house to prove that balls nave
been coming this way since 1897, and only
yesterday he had the pleasure of standing
in his yard and watching the twigs which
were cut from the trees by the balls that
Major Bells backstop failed to stop fail at
his feet. Major Bell also says that al pres
ent the only shooting is on Tuesday and
Friday afternoons by the expert marksmen
of the brigade. In reply to this we would
say that we are unable to distinguish the
point of difference, but perhaps it is well TO
know that if we are to be killed or manned
1t will be done on a Tuesday or a Friday,
and by an expert. j. ]. CROWLEY,

Wipe Out Policy.
From the Chicago News

In view of the failure of past efforts to
suppress the peculiarly vicious and demon
alizing form of gambling known as policy
the announcement that the citizens asso-
citation has taken up the work is doubly
gratifying. The methods employed by the
association In beginning are encouragfngly
practical and thorough. Realizing the diff
Guilty of conducting successful prosecutions
without the most complete and conclusive
evidence, 1t has employed detectives who
have thorough knowledge of the policy
game and has secured possession of the
tickets and papers actually used by policy
shop keepers in the process of fleeing their
victims. The first result Of the association
work is revealed in the announcement that
the grand jury has voted twenty-six indict-
ments against policy gamblers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 29-The Ger
government are to have competitive
exhibits in forestry at the worlds fair.
Which nations methods of forest man
agement are better and more practical
is the problem to be solved. Two tracts
of land. already partially covered with
trees, and each about five acres in ex-
tent, have been assigned to the United
States and German governments. as the
laboratory for their tesrs. The two lie
side by side, so that the visitors may
walk through what the Americans call
an "arboretum' and observe all Amer
ican methods of forestry and then step
across into what the German desig-
mates as a forest garden" and learn
the German method.
No trees will be cut from either
tract. Rather transplating viii be re-
sorted TO, and when the exposition
opens miniature forests, perfect in
every detail, with narrow gravel walks
winding in and out, may be seen.
Every tree that thrives in the latitude
of St. Louis will be represented and the
specimen can be easily designated.
to each tree viii be an alumni
mum label on which will be stamped the
botanical and common names.
In one respect the exhibits will be the
same. Each display will embrace prac-
tically the same number of trees and
they will be prac ,ically of the same va
yieties. Here all similarity ceases. The
treatment will accord with the prac-
tees in vogue in the respective coun-
tries In the American arboretum the
trees will be planted, trained and
pruned according to the American idea.
In the German forest garden will be re-
produced, in miniature the effects that
obtain in the forests of the Fatherland,
and the story of how the wonderful for
ests of Germany have been preserved
through ages, and renewed from time

onstrations.

Careful data will be kept on all such

Pool Table License is Constitutions

The first prosecution under the new
law licensing pool and billiard tables
was brought before Judge Stewart at
the recent term of the district court for
Washington county. The Weiser man
who was arrested under the statute
contended that the law was uncon-
stftutional, principally on the ground
that it operated as a double tax on
such property.
The demurrer raising this point was
overruled by the court, which pointed
out that the constitution specially au-
thorizest he legislature to impose Ii
censes Reference is also made in the
decision to. a. former decision of the
supreme court, holding that license
is an entirely separate and distinct
method OF raising revenue from the tax
