Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


ALEXANDRIA. Va, November 4, 1904.
Pursuant to a resolution recently adopted
by the board Of police commissioners May
or Paff last evening conducted an investi-
CATION into the circumstances which led
Commonwealth Attorney Samuel G. Brent
to criticise members Of the police force,
Lieut.. James Smith in particular, at the
hearing Of criminal case In the corpora
ton court a few weeks ago. Attorney
Brent charged that he had not been suffi.
GENTLY assisted by the Lieutenant in Sc
curing evidence in the case. He also COM
mented upon the fact that four members
of the force appeared as witnesses for the
Defense whereas, only one, Officer Lyles,
took the stand for the prosecution. During
his examination upon the witness stand
the conduct Of Lieut.. Smith became Often
sive to Mr.. Brent 1t issalleged, and appeal
ed to the court, whereupon Judge Barley
instructed the lieutenant to alter his man
ner toward the commonwealth attorney.
At the investigation last night Mr. Brent
gave his reasons for the structures he had
made. He stated that hereafter he would
take the necessary steps to compel the
police to give him all the information in
their possession relating to criminal cases
coming under his direction for prosecution
In the corporation court. In order to &C.
complish this Mr.. Brent intimated that he
would have recourse to the grand jury.
Claims He Was Diligent.
Several witnesses were called at the re-
quest Of Lieut.. Smith. who conducted his
own defense. The lieutenant declared that
he had used due diligence in the case in
question and asserted his willingness to aid
tho commonwealth attorney whenever pos
sible. The witnesses were closely question
ed by the mayor, the police commissioners
and Mr.. Brent. This examination brought
out certain evidence which had been in the
asserted, was not given In the corporation

court 1t also tended to show that a prop
er diligence had not been observed in the
search for the stolen goods concerned in
the case.
Mayor Paff disposed of the matter by
deciding to take no action for the punish
ment of any of the policemen concerned on
the ground that the dereliction, as charged,
had taken place before the beginning of
his administration. He said he felt con-
WINGED from the evidence that Mr.. Brent
had not received proper support from the
force, which fault, he thought, was due to
a lack Of discipline. Had the occurrence
taken place after the beginning of his term
Of office, the mayor said, he would have
made several suspensions. BY invitation
to the board of police commissioners
Messrs Hill, Lawler and Fisher were pres
ent. The matter may furnish ground for
discussion at the next meeting Of the board.

James Brasweil's Song.

James BrasweIl sent 8 copy of his song, "Scenes of Arkansas, to Manager Thomas ". Milan of the Arkansas Worlds Fair Con- mission, asking that same be given place on the program of exercises at the Worlds Fair Oil Arkansas day.
 In acknowledging it's receipt, Mr. Milan stated that the soug had been received too late for the request to be granted as at that time the program for Arkan . sas day exercises had been fully arranged. He stated, however, that the song had been referred to J. B. Mayer, who had charge of the musical feature of the Arkansas building, and that it would be given a place on one of his weekly programs.
 Enclosed in Mr. Milan's letter was a letter to him from Mir. Mayer stating that he had exam ined the song and found same to contain ''good and musical features. This unsolicited op inion from Mr. Mayer, who is the general agent of this state for Hollenberg Music Co.,, and who is one of the finest musiaus in the state, is certainly very complimentary to Mr. Braswell's s song.

WELBURN R. SNEED DEAD.
Prominent Citizen Passes Away Tuesday After Long Illness

"~oS'if AASST Long illness
 The death of w. R. Sneed, which occurred at his home in Green Forest at 4 o'clock on last Tuesday morning removes from our midst one of our distinguish ed and most useful citizens, and one whose loss is not only felt in Green Forest but over all this portion of the state.
 Mr. Sneed had been i'll for about two months suffering from complication of troubles, which made his recovery doubtful al- most from the start. He would take a turn for the better occa- sionally, however, and the re- markable constitution of the man would lead the doctors to hope that he might be able to recover and encouraging reports were often brought from his bed side. lie was not considered worse than usual until only 8 few minutes before he was struck by death, of which he was fully sensible, informing the doctor and his wife that he was gone.
 During the illness which result ed in his death, Mir. Sneed made 8 bright profession of a hope in Christ and he often remarked that live or die he was 8 saved man, which Is indeed comfort to the b5reaved ones he has left behind.
 Internent was ma la in the family grave yari a5 O5age on Wednesday, appropriate services having been ooadac5ol by W. H. Hatfield.
 Wi!burn Reagan Snesd was native of Carroll county, having been born on farm near Osage March 23, 1887. He was a son of Charles Sneed, a native of Ken lucky, and Jane Coker Sneed, a native of Tennesse. Charles Soeed came to Arkansas prior to his marriage and located here in 1928, and is said to have been the first settler on Osage creek, where he pre-enpted land and improved a farm upon which he resided until his death in 1865. Charles Sneed served the county in the capacity of sheriff about eight years. His wife died in 1878.
 Wilburn Sneed was reared upon his fathers farm and at the outbreak of the civil war enlisted in the Confederate army. In 1861 he joined the company that was raised in Carroll county, which belonged to the First Infantry and was commanded by Col. Sam w. Peel. After about years service Mr. Sneed was discharged. He then enlisted in Col. Harrell's battalion and served awhile, when he was dis charged on account Of partial deafness.
 Upon returning home he en- gagged in merchandising and in 1869 built a store house on his farm in which he sold goods for about fourteen years. In con- nection with his mercantile busi- ness he managed his farm.
 Mr. Sneed was one of the most successful business men of the county and had accumulated con- siderable wealth, his estate being estimated to be worth S1o, ,UOO. During recent years, especially since moving to Green Forest four years. ago, Mr. Sneed had devoted his attention largely to his banking interests. Besides being president of the Bank of Green Forest, he was a stock holder in several other banks and conducted 8 private loan bual- mess at the same time. lis marriage with Melrose McCfack- en- a native of Madison county
