ant District Solicitor and Prosecutor
Sinclair, Judge Kimball. in the Police
Court, this morning took Deputy Sheriff
Richard Hardestys personal bonds for
carrying concealed weapons within the

suggestion of the representative of the
District.
Detective Watson. Of the local force.
was on a street car yesterday and saw
Hardesty sitting on a seat in front of
him. The deputy had his coat off and
blackjack and pistol were protruding
from each hip pocket. The detective re-
quested the deputy to put on his coat
for fear of alarming some women who
were on the car.
The deputy refused to do this and
became defiant, IL Is said. and replied
that he would put on his coat when he
got ready and keep it off as long as he
wished. Whereupon Watson arrested
him and he was compelled to put up
$50 collateral before he was released.
The collateral was returned to him
when Judge Kimball ordered his per
sonal recognizance taken.

THE TINES EXTRA EDITION
WIDELY COMMENDED
Announced Death of Pope Leo XIII I'm
mediately on Receipt of News.

The news OF Pope Leo's death was
anr cpa iced to Washington by an extra
edi ION OF The Times. From the ap-
p. M, until the regular issues OF The
Times were offered for sale, the demand
for the extra was continuous. The
sale was as great. probably. as that OF
any extra paper issued in the Capital
in recent years.
A bulletin 20 The Times from Tire
Scripps- McRae Press Association stating
simply that the Pope was dead was re-
ceived at 1929 o'clock Within twenty
minutes the news had been edited, the
type set and assembled, the issue put upon
the press, and the extra" sold TO walt
ing newsboys who had gathered at The
Times Office as though by inspiration.
Rapidly as The Times presses run, they
were behind the demand. Newsboys
crowded and pushed and prospective
purchasers waited outside the subscrip-
ton rooms until nearly 2 o'clock. Pub
lie interest-which is the newspaper
gauge OF need for an "extra'-thus Jus .
titled the enterprise Of The Times by
providing a most gratifying and extern
siye market for its papers.
Many commendatory messages have
been received at the ONCE OF The Times
today, most OF them approaching the
quality of the general information fur
nished as to the Pontif's long and use
full career. 1t was widely noted that
except for this extra edition the COM
munity must have depended upon bulle-
tins placarded in a few public places.
But the chief item OF comment was,
naturally. that The Times should have
been the first paper to announce the
death Of the Pope, as II was the first
paper to announce the death OF Queen
Victoria and the serious Illness OF King

TRIBUTES FROM NOTED MEN
Protestant Archdeacon Of London Re-
veres Leo's Memo1y-Work Epoch
Making, Says Falconio.

PARIS. July 21.-On learning of the
death OF Pope Leo. James Cardinal Glib
bons, who has been resting mere since
his arrival from America last week, de-
parted yesterday afternoon for Rome to
attended the concIave which will elect
successor to Pope Leo. Cardinal Glib
bons wrote the following as a tribute to
the late Pontin:
Pope Leo XIII is dead. The voice
which filled the earth is silent. The
lips which dispensed knowledge to the
nations are sealed. The heart which sly
sympathized with all that was
highest and holiest in the aspi-
rations and hopes of men has
been touched unto stiffness; AID
the HANDS which but yesterday were
freighted with power and blessing are
today cold and lifeless. To the Catho-
lie he was the Vicar of Christ, the
mouthpiece Of the Most High God.
Those who acknowledged him not for
shepherd must recognize his genius and
the example Of his noble life. He has
been summoned to rest from his labors.
His works follow him to bespeak the
crown of Justice; they remain as a heri-
tage for the admiration and imitation
Of generations to come.
The Pontificate Just brought to a
close has been nearly associat ed with
the progress of the Catholic Church in
the United States. for 1t was Leo XIII
who convened in plenary council the
hierarchy and clergy to deliberate upon
the perfecting OF church organization in
this country. The enactments OF the
council, which closed it's sessions on
Sunday. December 3. 1894, was in due
time approved by his holiness, snd they
constitute today the standard of disci-
pine Throughout the Republic.
Whilst the great Pontiffs remains
are awaiting their final resting place Il
is fitting that We should pay this tribute
OF devotion to his memory, for he was "A
man OF resource and our father in his
generation In the annals of history he
viii live as a scholar. statesman. a phi
lanthropist, and a giant among leaders
OF men, In life he was known as lumen
in coelo. the light of heaven to lead
men home to the heart of God. IN
death we cherish the thought that 'thcy
that are learned shall shine as the
brightness of the ornament; and they
that instruct many unto justice, as the
stars to all eternity -

BISHOP ROCKER.

Bishop Rocker spoke of the Pope's
death as follows:
What is there to say? The Pope IS
dead!
The church boasts of a long line of
illustrious Pontiffs. Leo XIII will ever
stand in their foremost rank. His reign
has been wonderful one. He assumed
the pontifcate at most critical mo-
ment. He hands it to his successor
without a single loss and with great
gain. He has held the most terrible
stewardship that can be intrusted to n
human being. He has stood for more
than a quarter Of century before
the world as the vicar of the Saviour OF
Mankind. He has finished a great work
he lays down an enormous burden. he
must have found his supremest Joy when
he heard his Master say: Well dons.

MILLER IS REINSTATED
IN PRINTING OFFICE
So Notified by Mr.. Palmer,
the Public Printer.
LABOR UNION LOSES OUT
The President Orders Investigation
Which Proves Favorable to Man.
Expelled From His Union.

William A. Miller has been reinstated
the labor unions have received distinct
slap in the face.
Because he was expelled from the
Bookbinders' Union, Miller was dismiss
cd from his position in the Government
Printing Office on May Is last. The mat
ter has been investigated by Secretary
Cortelyou at the Presidents request.
and as a result Of this report Mr.. Miller
was informed last Wednesday by the
Public Printer. Mr. Palmer. that he had
been reinstated and might report for
duty when he saw TT.
The Presidents Views.
In one of his letters to Secretary
Cortelyou, the President says:
On the face of the papers presented.
Miller would appear to have been re-
moved In violation of law. There is no
objection to the employees of the Gov
eminent Printing Office constituting
themselves into a union II they so de-
sire; but no rules or resolutions OF that
union can be permitted to override the
laws of the United States. which 1t is
my sworn duty to enforce"
Mr.. Garrett Reticent.
William NJ. Garrett. secretary of Co
lumbia Typographical Union No. 101.
says that he will not criticise the Presi-
dent until he has heard from him off,
cially. but that the union will stand by
It's action, because 1t was right. He says
that the union has no control over the
Government Printing ONCE, and that Il
has never tried 10 control H.
Continuing, Mr.. Garrett said:
Mr.. Miller. as soon as elevated to his
position, began to devise ways to get
more work from the men. He did this
without their consent, and when they
refused he complained against them
Then II was that the matter waa
brought officially before the Bookbind-
ers' Union, and after a fair hearing he
was expelled. AS to the printing for the

said Mgr. Faiconio. because the latest
reports from Rome indicated that the
worst might happen. AS for a personal
tribute to Pope Leo / can add little or
nothing to the expressions which have
been published.
In his twenty-five years Of admins
tration his policy has been character
lied by prudence, fine judgment, and
much executive ability. We all wonder
at his remarkably clear intelligence and
energy despite his old age. His work has
been epoch making, and in his admin
istration many important chapters have
been added TO the history OF the church.
Perhaps the greatest factor OF his adj
ministrat.on was the growth OF the
church. especially here in the United
States. l recently visited the country
as far west as California and including
New Mexico, and could not but expert
ence much qualification by the growth of
the church on all sides"

BRUI TALLY ASSAULTED
BY HEE-FOUND FRIEND
John McNerhany Critically
I'LL at Emergency.
CAME HERE FROM CLEVELAND
Lured to Lonely Spot Near Chesapeake
Junction, Felled by Blow, and
Kicked Into Insensibility.

John McNerhany. forty-six years Old
who lives in CieveIN-:c, Ohio, is In a
critical condition at the Emergency
Hospital, as the result of brutal as
sault upon him Sunday night and sub
sequent exposure. McNerhany is a
brother OF Stanislaus x. McNerhany. a
plate printer. living at COS Sixth Street
northwest. Since his arrival in the city
on visit few days ago he has been
staying at II K Street northwest.
Sunday evening he started for a car
ride. and took the New York Avenue
car for Chesapeake Junction. intending.
he says. to go to the Beach. On the
car a stranger who sat alongside him
engaged him in conversation. Before
the Junction was reached McNerhany
confessed to his new-found friend that
he wanted a drink This. the stranger
assured him, was easy TO obtain, and
when they got OF the car at the juno
ton they entered a barroom and had
a drink.
The Strangers Ruse
While in the bar the stranger told
McNerhany that he was employed by a
contractor IN building some houses a
little distance up the road which turns
to the left from the station. and invited
McNerhany to accompany him TO where
the houses were being constructed. The
invitation was accepted. and they had
gone short distance up the road when
the stranger suddenly wniried on Nc
Nerhany knocked him down and kicked
him into insensibility.
All night long and all day yesterday
McNerhany lay in the woods, conscious
at intervals, but unable TO raise him
self from the ground until late In the
afternoon Then he started in a dazed
way. and finally struck the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad near Landover. Nd.
whence he was brought to the city. AT
the station the Emergency Hospital am
bulance wac called, and McNerhany was
taken to the hospital
Almost Kicked to Death.
AT the hospital DR.. W. r. Perkins
found that the man was mass OF severe
bruises from head to foot He had lit
orally been kicked almost to death
Added to this was the exposure for
twenty-four hours. which. in his condf-
ton, was so serious that the physicians
fear he cannot escape an attack OF pner-
monia. in which case his chances for re-
eovery are very slight.
McNerhany had about $50 in his posses
sion when he met the stranger. but all
was gone when he recovered conscious
ness after the assault. The police are
working on the case.
