up During the Accident.
Wilbur Barnes is sore on about
every portion of his body as the re-
suit of being run down Saturday after
noon by Carl Wolf and wife who were
in buggy. Barnes was crossing the
street at the corner of Main and
Fourth street when he was caught in
the jam of traffic that is usual to Nor
folks business streets on Saturdays
and before he knew it he was knocked
down by the horse driven by Wolf and
stepped on by the animal and driven
over by the buggy.
The trouble was about over when
Wolf realized the situation, the bug
by having almost passed over Barnes,
but upon hearing his shouts he pulled
up sharply on the bits with the result
that the entire rig again passed over
the PROSTATE Barnes, and when he
was extricated he was quite badly
bruised and cut up by the horses
hoofs and the wheels of the buggy.
DR.. Mackay attended Barnes and
found no broken bones or serious in
juries, but the bruises will undoubted-
ly lay him up for several days.

SMITH CASE INVOLVES i.
NAVAL COURTS MARTIAL
If He Wins Secretary Moody Fears
General Raid on the United
States Treasury.

John Smith, seaman, found no place
in the histories Of the civil war. but a
suit which he brought in the Court Of
Claims years ago threatens 20 result in
a wholesale raid on the United States
Treasury.
The validity of thousands Of court
martial cases in the navy hangs on the
decision in Smiths case, and Secretary
Moody has made a request that it be
advanced for hearing early in the Octo-
Der term of the Supreme Court of the
United States, that decision may be
made without delay. Hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars in forfeited navy pay
must be refunded by the Government If
Smith wins his suit
The seaman was eourt-martialed in
the cos. and part of the sentence i'm
posed on him was forfeiture Of pay
Smith was not furnished a copy of the
charges against him until four days
after he was tried. The revised sta
tutes require that an accused person
must have these at the time he is put
under arrest. He sued in the Court of
Claims for the loss of pay and got
tence was illegal because the statutes
had not been complied with.
If this decision be sustained by the
higher court naval cOurt-martial SEN
fences for forty years will be affected,
and the Navy Department will prob
ably be confronted by hundreds Of suits
for reinstatement.

That Demanded Explanation

The dairyman said to the inspector. Il
can't do il to-day"
But you must" replied the inspector,

oh, well, If you must have it. I sup

the milk vender
Samples From Same Can.
Without informing the inspector the
reason that he could not furnish him
with three samples of milk was that he
only had one can in his wagon with milk
in 1t. he quickly distributed the milk
INTO three cans. From each of these he
then gave the inspector a sample.
After making an analysis of the sam
pies It is said the inspector reported
one sample bad. another tv-,, points

HOWARD UNIVERSITY
GETS GOVERNMENT LAND

President Hammond. of Howard Uni
versity, has been in consultation sew
eral days with the officers of the In
terror Department relative to the Fed
eral land to the north Of the institution
needed for extensions to buildings. and
which Congress agreed the university
should have whenever it signed proper
leases.
Under the bill passed by Congress the
University must pay the Government
81 a year for the use Of the land. which
II rented TO private parties would be
cheap at several hundred dollars a year.
The leases have been prepared as a
result of the conferences, and II is an
nounced that the land will soon be
turned over to the institution. The
leases viii be signed by Judge Ryan. the
acting secretary.
AS to the buildings which will be
erected on the land. President Ham
mOnd says that nothing has been done
as yet. One dOrmitory and another hall
are among the structures proposed.

A good joke on the Milk Inspector is
told by a local attorney. few days
ago. the lawyer says. one of his clients
called upon him and said he wished him
10 go TO the Police Court the day follow
ing and defend him against a charge Of
selling impure milk. The dairyman ex-
planned TO his counsel that the charge
was the result of an inspection of a
sample of his milk made by the inspec-
tor.
Without waiting TO hear the details Of
the matter and number of excuses
which the daiTyman said he could offer
the lawyer advised him 10 appear in
court and pay whatever fine would be
imposed. This he said would be the
easiest way out of the difficulty.
Insisted on Defense.
The milkman. however, persisted IN
telling his counsel the circumstances
under which he got into trouble. A
short time before he said he was held
up in the street by the milk inspector
who demanded that he be given three
samples of milk for analysis.

that the greatest number Of days off
given 70 anyone will be five.
1t is claimed that 1t is a sorry rule
which makes Il a necessity that the
longer a man works for the District
government the less annual leave he Will
get. There are now ten per diem men
at the District Building who were
among the original thirty who petitioned
Congress to give them thirty days
leave with pay. Congress granted their
petition.
Cuts Their Allotment.
Now, under the Interpretation made of
the law by the Commissioners then in
Office, these faithful servants Of the Dis
trict can only stand passively by while
the growing number Of per diem men
cuts down each year the length of their
annual leave.
The other and younger per diem en-
ployes claim that all ought to have the
thirty days leave and they do not take
the trouble to argue that it is right to
give them a part of that allowed 10
the old stagers. They think that, II the
present question of the leave could be
settled, they would stand more chance
to have Congress give them thirty days
also, with pay.
VIII the Commissioners hearken to
the question put to them? VIII they
allow the Corporation Counsel to say
finally how the act Of Congress is to be
construed? Or will they allow the old
workers 10 gradually get their leaves
diminished year by YEAR, are questions
constantly asked at the District Build
ing.

Examiner Albertson. temporary receiver
of the First National Bank Of Macon,
Ga, which closed its doors on May 10.
stating he cannot at this time state def

resume business or not.
Its ability TO do so. he said. will de-
pend upon whether certain corporations
which were closely identified with the
failure of J. c. Plan, & Sons, can meet
their liability TO the bank.
The examiner says his time has been

Lew Dockstader's experience at posing
before a moving picture machine in

not avail him much beyond advertise
ment
When Captain McClusky, of New
York. asked him for the films Of the pic
lures taken at the east front Of the
Capitol on Thursday morning, he turned
them over without objection. Detective
Hartigan, Of the local force. brought
them to Major Sylvester yesterday and
they were torn into small bits and then
burned up.
All of the pictures were taken in one
string and bore resemblance to the tape
used in E. stock ticker"
Hammond contradicts.
In discussing the matter, Lieut.. John
Hammond, of the Capitol police. said
yesterday afternoon:
Il did not say. as has been erroneous
~ reported, that Policeman John a.
Jones, a bicycle policeman, VIII be dis
missed or that he will in all likelihood
have to reckon with the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate and the captain of

Of duty
He added that Policeman Jones has
not been dismissed nor have steps been
taken looking TO his dismissal

Per Diem Leave VexeS
The District Employees
Men Old in Service Whose Allotment Is Con-
stantIy Decreased Want Question Sub
mitted to Corporation Counsel.

The discomfort Of the per diem en-
ployes Of the District government as
result of the treatment they have re-
ceived in the matter Of annual leave Is
on the increase. This is the time of the
year when the committee in charge OF
the per diem leave begins TO rectify any
mistakes II may have made during the
fiscal year by allotting too much leave,
and the resulting dissatisfaction of the
per diem men is manifesting itself in
various ways.
Again the question is heard. Why
will not the Commissioners submit the
matter to the Corporation Counsel and
allow the debated question TO be finally
scttled?"
The contention is that the law passed
by Congress stipulates that thirty per
diem men above the grade, of skilled
nual leave. The Commissioners. how
ever. have translated this into meaning
that they have 900 DAYS of annual leave
fit among all the per diem men in their
employ.
Old Men Get Fewer Days.
This necessarily means that as the
number of per diem men is increased
every year, the old per diem men get
fewer days of leave as regularly as the
years roll by. This year the highest
number of days off granted TO any such
employee was nine Il is claimed that
this next fiscal year the number Of the
per diem clerks will have so increased

Good Work.

The United States immigration office, at Nogales, which is under control of the Bureau of Immigra tion, Department of Commerce and Labor, is doing good work for both the United States and Mexico in turning back Yaquis and other Mexican Indians, who come with in the prohibition of importation of alien labor. Only last week the number apprehended and re- turned to Mexico were thirty-six many of them Yaquis. It is we'll know that the latter come to the United States seeking employ nent not only to secure the higher rates of wages for ordinary labor; but for the facility here afforded in buying arms and ammunition to be used in the peculiar warfare waged by she Yaquis in Sonora. Every Yaqui finding employment iii Arizona or California will with in year return to Sonora with 8 gun and lot of cartridges, which he will straightway put to use against the Mexican authorities; and very likely he carries an extra rifle with a full complement Of ammunition for some friend or relative. Every YaQui turned back by the United States immigration authorities heads off at least two if not three or four effective warriors; and the work done here at the border by Mr " 3. Addy, inspector in charge, and his assistants, should be appreciated by the Mexican government. of which there is no doubt
