Students Fired On.

A dispatch from Roanoke, Va, last night
says: Between the hours of midnight and
daylight on Sunday morning a crowd OF
thirteen Randolph Macon College students
at Bedford City were fired on with shot
guns by persons hidden inside the building
of Jeter Institute, a girls school of the
place 1t is understood that meetings had
been going on for months between the stu
dents of the two institutions In violation oi
the orders of the faculties of both. Prof.
Parker, president of the female school, had
made, ii is said repeated complaints re-
garding the actions of the Randolph Macon
boys.
On the morning in question a gang OF
the boys armed with tin horns and COW
bells started a racket in the way of farce
serenade. Several volleys from shotguns
loaded with bird shot were fired at them
1t is thought that all of them were more
or less wounded. Five were so seriously
peppered that II became necessary to cal
in physicians. One young man was shot
in the face and the others received the
ere of the teachers of the female school IL
their backs.
Prof Parker admitted today the shots
were fired from his school building, but
would not divulge the names of the students
who were injured. The Randolph Macor
authorities also refused to give any names
Prof Parker said that the boys returned
the fire of the teachers, but he would not
admit that any of his teachers were injured

WANT PAPERS BACK.
Those Captured by the Japanese at
Port Arthur.

CHEFOO, May %, p.m.-The officials Of
the Russo-Chinese bank at Port Arthur
since the capitulation Of that fortress have
been unsuccessfully endeavoring to secure
the release from the Japanese of over one
hundred bags of banking and other COM
mercial and private correspondence, deliv-
cred in care of the bank for dispatch from
the besieged city.
This mail was the accumulation of the
few days prior to the capitulation of the
Russian forces After the destruction OF
the Port Arthur post Office during the bonn
bardment, the outgoing mails were m
trusted to the bank vaults for safekeeping
until the first opportunity for their dis
patch.
On account of the undue retention Of the
books by the Japanese the bank has rot
been able to close transactions involving
shipments to Port Arthur from America,
Germany England and France. The re-
tanned correspondence contained remit
tances and returned bills, documents for
merchandise confiscated by reason of be-
ing contraband. and for goods lost.

Using language disrespectful to his superior
officers was made today. when short ses-
sion Of the police trial board was held in

Court building. Two witnesses for the de-
Tense were heard. Judge Kimball of the
Police Court and James Pugh, assistant
corporation counsel and the Police Court
prosecuting attorney.
Upon questioning by Attorney Wolfe. for
the defense, both of these witnesses stated
that they had had dealings with the SER
geant at the Police Court for several years.
and they stated that they had never seen
anything in him that would lead them TO
believe that the sergeant was a man who
would speak unexpectedly of his superior
officers. They regarded him as a truthful
and gentlemanly officer, who would per-
form ris duties well.
President Sinclair of the police trial board
was the only member of the board present
at the hearing. but the matter was put on

ADDITIONAL NUMBERS"
of the Naval Personnel
Law by the Attorney General

Law by the Attorney General.
Y The attorney General has given an In
depreciation to the provisions Of the
naval personnel law which is of consid-
efable interest to the navy generally. 1t
completely reverses the policy Of the
Navy Department in regard to the treat
n1ent Of additional numbers in grade"
created by the promotion of officers for
distinguished services. Heretofore when
an officer was promoted to a higher grade
and classified as an additional number
such advancement was held to create
vacancy to be filled by the advancement
officer so promoted.
The Attorney General holds that such
action is incor sistent with the meaning
and spirit of the personnel law, especially
those sections providing for the creation
Of certain number of vacancies during
each year by enforced retirements Ac-
cordirg to the Attorney General. the crea-
ton of additional numbers does not create
vacancies, and should be met by corre-
spending number of voluntary retirementS
instead of promotions.
Under this construction of the law there
are now fifty-seven vacancies on the retired
list which. the Attorney General holds.
may be filled by the voluntary retirement
Of that number of officers. from captains
down to the lowest grade.
The text of the opinion has not yet been
made public but SO far as can be learned
1t Is in effect. as stated. The opinion is
now under consideration in the bureau of
navigation, and may be made public in a
few days, If adopted by the Navy Depart
ment

cases he visited the office ~ the Cnited
States attorney and announced that CEaw-
ford was ready to explain all he knew OF
the matter, and produce all papers bearing
on the same.
The offer was not acctepted, and later
Mr.. Worthington paid a second visit to the
United States attorney. he said with the
same result. Therefore, today was the
first time Crawford had been given the
opportunity to explain his connection with
the case.
The defense would make no attempt to
deny that Isorenz paid money to Machen,
Attorney Worthington went on to say. IL
would be denied, however, that Crawford
knew, when he entered into his contract
with Lorenz, that Lorenz had any intention
of or arrangement to pay over any OF the
money to Machen
1t was not until the latter part of 1900
that Crawford established an office here as
representative of the Postal Device and
Lock Company. He intended to bid for
the satchel contract in 1892. Lorenz called
at Crawford's Office, and the result OF their
conference was that they determined 10
put in joint bid. On this bid the con-
tract was awarded.
II don't think the prosecution Will pro-
duce anybody to testify that Crawford
knew of any agreement whereby Lorenz
was to turn any of the money over 70
Machen," Attorney Worthfngton said IF
such q witness does appear, l will prove to
you before he leaves the stand that he is a
liar"
Counsel added that the contract for the
satchels was awarded on the recommends
ton of committee of three officials OF
the department. who are such officials to-
day, and that the contract was an honest
one, honestly awarded.
It was not the governments business. ac-
cording to Attorney Worthington, what
money Crawford turned oyer to LOrenz.
But what money Lorenz passed to Machen
was another matter. but as to 1t Crawford
knew nothing and was not concerned nor
interested.
Attorney Worthington was addressing the
jury at late hour this afternoon.
