Will Go Back With Sheriff

Seth E. Tracy. the alleged abscond,ng
secretary of the Houston, Texas school
board, who was arrested in this city last
week by Detectives Peck and Hewlett, met
Sheriff Anderson this morning. The sheriff
arrived here last night with papers for the
arrest Of his former. friend. He expects to
leave here tomorrow night with the prison
er on his return trip. There are four in
dictments against Tracy in Houston alleg-
ing the appropriation of about $4,000
1t Is charged that he committed forgery,
and that he passed worthless paper. Tracy
was extremely popular in Houston. Al
though republican in politics, he was
elected to his position by vote Of the peo-
pie of the Texas city. He was also a cam
didate for city judge and Congress, but was
defeated for these positions. Until the time
of his disappearance he was regarded as an
exemplary citizen. 1t is the belief of his
friends that Tracy dealt in cotton futures
and lost considerable money. Bond in the
case has been fixed at $4,000 and it is be-
feved this will be furnished by the prison
ers brother-in-law upon his return to
Houston

Complaint Of a Hen House.

E. H. Toomey of the Post Office Depart
ment recently complained to the Commits
sioners of a fuel shed being used as a hen
house in the rear of his premises at.the
corner OF 9th and M streets northeast. The
health officer. DR.. Woodward has stated
to the Commissioners that there are no
regulations governing specifically the To-
cation or construction of hen houses. The
health department undertakes, however
under the general regulations in force in
the District to require such places to be
kept in a sanitary condition and it has I'M
dertaken to do as much in the case Of the
establishment complained Of by Mr.
Toomey. In the absence of further evil
dence of nuisance arising from similar es-
Establishments generally 1t is not deemed
advisable to recommend the PRONUNCIATION
of regulations relating specifically thereto,
but to permit them to be controlled by the
general regulations governing sanitary af-
fairs, referring the complaint for further
redress, if any be needed. to the courts.

BOTH WERE ARMED,
One Had Long Knife and the Other
a Revolver.

Daniel Colvin and Matthew WithroW
young colored men. the former a business
man in Alexandria and the latter a resident
of this city. were prisoners in Judge KIM
balls court this morning. 1t was alleged
against them that they were armed last
night when they were aboard the excur-
sion boat River Queen. Three revolvers
and long bladed knife were exhibited to
the court as evidence against them. 1t
was said to the court that there was a
"scrummage" on the boat and Special Off
Ger Lake Sweeney was present to tell of the
finding of the weapons. He was told last
night that there were two men on the boat
wearing caps who were armed. He found
the men. who proved to be the prisoners
and disarmed them. From Colvin he took
a knife. while Withrow had pearl handle
revolver in his pocket. In a satchel that
had been left with the matFon, the officer
found two revolvers. The satchel, she
said, was left with her by Colvin, but the
latter denied that he had ever had the
satchel or weapons. He also denied the
statement of a witness that he had handed
a revolver to another man.
Il thought 1t was no harm to carry a
revolver the Alexandra man told Judge
Kimball. The Washington man had the
same notion about his knife which was
really dagger.
Where did you get this knife?'' he was
asked.
IAN italian gave 1t to me more than a
year ago"
II thought it had the appearance of a
weapon carried by a foreigner" remarked
the court. You seem to have been armed
for bears"
The judge said he thought 1t was case in
which the extrem limit of the law should be
imposed and fined the men each $50 and
ordered that they serve eleven months and
twenty nine days in jail unless the fines are
paid

trial Development.
THE south Is the section of the United
States which now offers the most alluring
opportunities in the matter Of industrial
development" declared Vice President ].
c. Rich of the Gulf and Chicago Railroad
Company, when seen at the Raleigh this
afternoon. Mr.. Rich has been comforting
with government officials for the past few
days, with view to obtaining permission
for his railroad to build steel bridges across
the Pascagoula and Leaf rivers in Missis-
sippi on the line Of the Mobile, Jackson
and Kansas City division Of the system, to
cope with the increased traffic and heavy
demands for freight transportation.
THE west and the east are now a net
work of railroads, and the south will be
in about the same condition before long
Railroad building in the south In the past
few years has surpassed all records Take
for example, the southeastern part of the
state of Mississippi, where more than 400
miles of railroad tracks together with the
usual amount of heavy equipment, have
been laid in the last year or SO. Not only
are the wealthy men of the east and west
investing their money in the properties of
the south, but are going to that section to
develop them. The erection of factories and
mills has also taken sudden impetus In
all parts of the south. These will enable
US to emulate the east within the near
future.
I'm my home town, Mobile, DEVELOPMENT
along almost every line has been surpris-
ing, and it Is safe to say that the town has
progressed more in the last five years than
ever before. Our marine commerce has in
creased 800 or 400 per cent, and we are
loading outgoing vessels heavier than was
ever thought possible The modernizat ton
of loading and unloading methods Is amaz-
ing BY electric appliances now in use a
ships cargo can be lifted and placed on
railroad cars In an incredibly short space

pected here for several days past, came
into port yesterday afternoon. She arrived
off the quarantine station below Alexandria

her dock here to unload. The Cuza is a
regular trader here with laths, and paws

She brings a cargo of about a million and
a half laths. 1t is expected she will take

by the generous attendance at this beauu-

The chief attraction at Cabin John bridge
for this week is an unusually interesting
series of motion pictures in the Palm Gar
den. These pictures are out of the ordi-
nary line of such portrayalS and show
varied and new scenes with an effective
ness that has not been duplicated in this
city. They are shown without the slight
est flicker or vibration, and some of the
scenes presented are intensely realistic.
This Is especially true of review Of colo
NAL troops IN London, in which Lord Rob-
erts and Queen Alexandra are faithfully
portrayed, and the building of a lighthouse
off the coast of England, the material for
which is carried on cable from a cliff
many hundred yards away. The specta-
cable to the lighthouse, a novel experience.
Frederick Bender is the soloist of the Palm
Garden and has repertoire of new songs
that show off his fine tenor voice to excel
lent advantage. The attendance has been
increasing steadily with the warm weatilr,
Sunday last being one of the biggest days
this resort has ever known. The car serv-
ice to the bridge has been augmented, and
patrons of the resort are being cared for
8 tlsfactorily in this regard. The absence
of the open bar at Cabin John bridge has
resulted in greatly improved conditions,
and Objectionable characters have been
effectively warned away from the grounds.
