ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Coroner's Jury Holds Poole Response,
BILE for Peacock's Death.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, October II. 1904
An inquest over the remains of Ernest
Peacock, the young Virginian who died at
a Washington hospital as the result of a
pistol shot wound of the abdomen, in
nicted about ten days ago on Seldon's Is
land, near Edwards Ferry, this county, by
Henson Poole, an eighteen-year-old white
boy, whose home is near Seneca, was held
here today before Justice of the Peace Jo-
seph Reading The jury recommended
Poole be held for manslaughter. States At
torney Robert B. Peter appeared for the
state, and the jury was composed of the
following: Washington Hicks, foreman;
Lawrence Flack, Albert King, Aaron Hew-
itt John H. Hilton, Benjamin Bean, Harry
G. Poss, Charles w. Fields, John B. Brew
er, Samuel b. Haney, William P. Trail and
Wallace E. Ricketts,.
Only two witnesses were heard: DR.. Ed
ward Anderson, who performed the autopsy.
and Mr. Frank Page, who witnessed the
shooting. DR.. Anderson testified that the
bullet which caused death entered the
mans back and came out near the left
nipple, the wound being a necessarily fatal
one. Mr.. Page swore that the young men
had a quarrel the evening preceding the
shooting, when Poole is alleged to have APP
begin shocking corn the following morn
ing Peacock walked up to Poole and de-
manded that he take back his remark of
the evening before. Poole denied that he
had said anything to take back, whereupon
Peacock grabbed him and threw him to
the ground and, as he held him down, said:
.'If you were as large as l am, would give
you good licking" AS the men regainsd
their feet, Peacock either pushed or struck
Poole, the latter falling back into the corn
field. AS he arose, he drew his revolver,
and as he dared Peacock to come on"
fired. Peacock turned and ran, and as he
ooh pnnl
tinued to fire at him. Two bullets took
effect-one in the arm and the other In the
abdomen, the latter entering from the back.

The Hawaiian supreme court has handed
Gown a decision denying the appeal of B.
H. Wright. convicted of embezzlement of
public funds in February, 1908. Wright's
trial was the first growing out OF a number
of public works department embezzlements.
He was sentenced to three years hard labor
by Judge Debolt.
Andrew Leonhardt was hanged in the
jail yard in Baltimore Friday for the
murder of his wife in 1903. The execution
was witnessed only by the officials, physi-

Influence OF the united States.
No. Q. Judge Parker himself declares that
1.-The islands remain today utterly untouched
for any good" that the United States might
have done for them.
This is a, most extraordinary statement
for an American citizen to make. 1t can
only be accounted for by ignorance, malice
or prejudice Does Judge Parker see no
good In the establishment of 1900 schools
and the education of more than 100000
children? Does he realize the value of the
public improvements that have been made,
the new harbors at Manila which have cost
81 696 81 to date, and $874, 536 at Iloilo and
Cebu; the widened, streets, the pavements,
the parks the sewers the new water sys-
TENS the public highways that have been
extended and improved at cost of $500 600;
the 1900 schoolhouses that have been built,
and the various other Improvements upon
which millions of dollars have been expend-
ed not from the; treasury of the United
States, but from the local treasures of the
islands. 1t would require a page in a news
paper to tell what has been done in the way
of public utilities alone by the American
government. ~
And. finally, the democratic candidate for
the presidency asks Are the Philippine
Islands today a seif-supporting commu-
nity?' % II
He confesses his ignorance upon this
point in almost elsan1e breath that he de-
clares them fit for independence and self
government. II Judge Parker had made
any preparation for his speech, If he had
taken the trouble to Inform himself upon
the most important conditions, he would
have known that the customs revenues
alone during the last three or four years
have been seventeen, eighteen and nineteen
million dollars a year, an, increase from
three, four and five millions year during
Spanish rule and that other revenues have
improved in similar ratio. The islands
are not only self-supporting, they not only
pay every cent of the expenses of their
government, excepting the maintenance of
the 11.0O0 regular troops now on duty there,
but they could AFFORD an exhibit costing
position. and are spending between three
and five million dollars year in the con-
struction Of harbors, railways. highways.
water works electric light plants, buildings
and other public improvements.

ton and wise advice on these subjects

MODERN ENGLISH SERVANTS
Have Higher Pay, More Holidays and
Finer Clothes Than in
Former Times.

Times change, and our servants
change with them. The results OF the
Lincolnshire May Hiring Fairs. which
extend over about ten days. and lately
came to an end, show that the old-fash-
Toned servant maid no longer exists,
says the London Chronicle
Each succeeding year recently sery-
ants have demanded and obtained high
er wages. and in the case Of doniestics
the wages paid for their services are
twice as high AZ those which prevailed
20 or 30 years ago.
Another direction in which change is
Indicated Is the stipulation for a regular
weekly holiday as part Of the hiring bar
gain. Very few servants will go out to
situations now without the concession
OF an afternoon or evening once a week.
and In one case girl asked for special
weekly holiday 50 that ahe might take
her music lesson.
Again, there Is the cycling habit So
many servants on bicycles have never
been seen before as during the recent
vacation. They fiocked into East Ang-
Ian towns In considerable numbers.
most Of them on prsttily equipped up-to-
date machines.
The contrast with the 'oid hands" who
remember the May weeks OF 50 years
ago has been very marked. The agricul-
tuFal laborer Ia as well dressed now as
his employer. and the dress OF each do
nestle would have provoked the ex-
eiamation that she was "A dne lady"
IN her grandmother's time
Another OF the many noticeable
changes which the servant problem
has undergone Is that OF securing =
giFl who will undertake the duties OF
milking IN 80 cases out OF every 100
this branch OF farmhouse work Is now
delegated 10 the menservants
Such changes as these. which make
the lives Of servants more enjoyable
than formerly. and mark their emanei-
patton from the duh routine Of daily
domestic work. are the Inevitable out
come Of diminishing supply rather
than the result Of effective trade union
organization.

SHOOTING AT BEECH BIRDS
Calls for the Display Of More skill
