ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF LAW.
Warrants Issued for Arrest of St
Asaph Pool Room KEEPERS

Five warrants against pool room keepers
at st. Asaph have been sworn out by direc-
ton of Commemorative Attorney Crandall
Mackey of Alexandria county. 1t is stated
that the warrants will not be served for
several days. as Mr.. Mackey says he is
waiting for certain record evidence to be
used against the persons charged. 1t is
his purpose he declared, to continue the
warfare against all forms of gambling in
Alexandria county.
Mr.. Mackey has received information
from a number of citizens that Sunday
liquor selling is again being conducted at
RossIyn, and he will call the attention of
Sheriff Palmer to the matter.
1.-The sheriff keeps a deputy at Rosslyn
to see that the law is not violated" said
the commemorative attorney in an inter-
view, but I am not advised what report
he has made to the sheriff regarding the
situation. The penalty for selling liquor
on Sunday by licensed saloons in Virginia
is much more severe than the penalty pre-
scribed for selling liquor without a license,
and Judge Nicol has announced that in the
case of every person convicted of violating
the liquor laws he would impose jail SEN
tence in addition to any fine the jury might
impose, besides taking away the license Of
the offending saloonkeeper."

an Illness of many months. He was fifty
eight years of age and native of Illinois.
All mis- life, since he became of age, he was
actively connected with politics, and In this
city was one of the most popular men in
government employ.

At the beginning of MckinleyS first admin
istration he was appointed diSbursing Of
ficer of the government printing office. He
worked with untiring effort at his new post
and many believe FASTENED his death by
overwork. Something over year ago he
had an accident from which he never fully
recovered. Bright's disease developed and
since March 10, last, he had rot left his
bed. He suffered greatly during the last
weeks of his life. His popularity in the
printing office was atteSted by the quanti-
ties of flowers sent to the house during his
entire illness by the various divisions.
Several years ago Major clifford was
member of commission appointed to regl-
late postma sters' salaries throughout the
country, and accomplished much valuable
work in this connection. He was always
an active member of the Illinois Republican
Association of this city, and at one time
was prominently connected with the Ma
tional Rifles. in which organization he held
the office of major.
He leaves a wife, Mrs. Julia NJ. Clifford.

dinarily successful. He has been president
and vice president of the Society of Wash

statues and busts
Since coming here he has made 1O3 busts,
some of them of the great men OF the coun-
try. Among them are Wade Hampton, w.

Perhaps his greatest achievement may DE

The Pedestal.
The granite pedestal was not the work OF
Mr.. Dunbar. the designs submitted by that
gentleman having been for various reasons
rejected by the committee. The cost of two
seats to have been carved in the granite,
the arms being made of outstretched eagles
wings and requiring a great amount or
labor. called for what was thought to be an
expense disprOpertonate to the result. The
contract for making the pedestal was,
therefore, given to the Van Amringe Gran
tie Company of Boston and Washington.
The pedestal will be entirely of Rhode Is
land granite, from the famous quarries at
Westerly, of which the tomb of Gov. Shep-
herd, in Rock Greek cemetery, was con-
Structed. This stone is light in color and

money. No valid reason can be given
why money issued for use in business
ought not to be good enough to pay

will certainly not make it less useful

Great progress has been made toward

The effort has not ceased. 1t was

production and commerce.
On the business side the quantitative
theory of money applies as well as on
the debtor side. but under different
conditions and with different results.
On the business side money is not linn
tied to legal tender-debt paying
money, although all such money is in
