JOHN S. DAVID
WITHOUT A COUNTRY
So Declares American Naval Officer
When Porto Rican Seeks Ad-
mission to Navy.

Because John S. David was declared
to be a man without country mas
much as he was Porto Rican. and nei-
ther citizen of the United States nor
an alien. he was denied admission into
the United States Navy by Commander
Herbert T. Dunn, in charge Of the ma
val recruiting station in Baltimore
David, who is a plumber. and has
been working IN Baltimore shipyards
the past four years. conc1udeG he would
like 10 be a sailor on an American man
of-war- When Commander Dunn made
an appeal for loyal able-bodied men
to come 10 the aid of their country. Da-
via was among the applicants for ad-
mission.
In his examination fl WIS brought out
that he was a native of Porto Rico and
never had been naturalized. Commander
Dunn construed the naval rules To bar
the enlistment Of anyone not a citizen
OF the United States. and since Porto
Rico is now an insular possession of
this Government. he decided that Da-
wa was in the peculiar situation of be-
ing neither citizen nor an alien.
David. however, was persistent He
wanted to join the crew OF a battIeship
cruiser, or some other fighting vessel
50 the case was referred to the Navy
Department and 1t came up before Com
mander Wilson. of the Bureau Of Navt-
cation. for final decision.
Commander Wilson held that there is
no rule prohibiting a citizen of any
country being enlisted In the United
States, and. as David apparently would
make a desirable sailor his enlistment
was accordingly advised.

GUINEAS, ONCE DESPISED,

Hens and the Eggs Find Demand for
Food in This Country and
Abroad

one Of the latest farmers bulletins
issued by the Department of Agricul-
tUre. is short paper by G. F. Lang
worthy. head of one Of the experiment
stations, on the Guinea hen. According
20 this bulletin the Guinea. practically
unknown TO New England farmers.
though fairly numerous in the West
and plentiful and common throughout
the South. is coming TO the front.
! In the South. the author states. where
they are most common. they are chiefly
valued for their eggs. for II is a fact
well known 10 Southern cooks that the
yolk OF the Guinea egg is much richer
and the white far lighter than that OF
the common fowl. and therefore prefer
able 10 the latter for cakes. etc In
America il was seldom that Guineas
We're eaten, but Of late a demand for
them has arisen in New York and Lon
don. and farmers are surprised To find
a market for a fowl that formerly was
difficult even TO give away. In London
they are sold 20 the big hotels. where
they aDepar on the bill OF fare as
American pheasant" and the same is
also the case in many Of the New York
hotels where these fowl are served as
game"
W. 9. Carter. OF the firm Of Golden

Langworthy as TO the Increased demand
for Guinea fowl. which has been par

numbers of chickens. turkeys. etc. are

SENATORS CONARDS
IN OBEYING v. c. 7. j.
Says Miss Phoebe Couzins
on Army CanteeD.
SMITES TEMPERANCE BODY
former Sufragist Says Members Are
Too Narrow to See Prohibition
Is Impossible

Miss Phoebe Couzins. the noted
woman suffragist and writer, who has
lost faith in women becoming broad
minded enough to deal with practical
questions arising out Of politics, es-
pecially prohibition and the canteen.
and who is organizing the German
women of the country into an auXil-
tory TO the German-American Alliance
TO offset what she calls the narrow
and ridiculous" attitude Of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union and
similar organizations, discussed her
views with a Times reporter today.
1T is a great pity. said Miss
Couzins. our organization has not
progressed far enough to take a hand
in this fight for the restoration of the
canteen in the army. / was informed
today by a United States Senator that
1t was the moral and political cow
ardice of q number Of men in Congress
which led to the abolition OF the can
teen, and TO the amendment by the
Senate providing for prohibition for
Oklahoma. Senators and Represen-
tatives were frightened by the peti-
tions of the woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union and prohibitiOnists, who
have nothing to do but go around and
get petitions signed.
1T is profoundly ss;s;:;;ifsFlslng To me
that broad-minded men like those in
Congress accept the statements of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union
a S to the army canteen, when every
single army officer this year unequiVo-
cally declares that II ought TO be- re-
stored to the army. and that the
American soldier without ii is becoming
the greatest drunkard in the world.
There never viii be law that viii
compel prohibition, and the sensible
thing for the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union organizations is TO turn
In and aid in the substitution Of mild
drinks like beer which seldom pro-
duces drunkenness, for the strong
drinks"

AIDA" WELL PRESENTED
BY SAVAGE COMPANY
Principals, Ch0Tus, and Orchestra Meas
ured Up to Standard of
Excellence.

II is doubtful if the Wagnerian opera
with its magnificent climaxes and intri-
cate motifs will ever appeal to the emo
tions OF its audience as do the more
melodious and subtler harmonies of TIE
great Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi.
The average grand opera audience will
continue 20 enjoy most those produc-
tiOns which appeal directly to the feel
ings. though intellectual approval and
applause may be given in a greater de-
gree to the more dramatic and cOmpelI-
ing creations of music. Last evenings

REID'S
COUSIN ENDS LIFE
Denied Love of Whiteaws Sister and Vctimzed by Ad-
ventures He Married He Went Hungry for Hope
less Dream and Finally Gave Up Struggle.

A life that had been full of misery and
suffering for nearly twenty years that
experienced disappointments in remark
ably rapid succession, was ended when
William II. Reid. a cousin Of Ambassa-
do- Whitelaw Reid and an uncle of
Hal Reid. the actor and playwright
committed suicide lasr Saturday night
William Reid had a hobby to publish
a great book. but he had no funds 10
carry Ont the project, and in despair il
is said. killed himself
The book, he claimed, would have
startled the world and made him as IA
nous as his kinmen.
Victim of Adventures.
Financial troubles began when Reid
married a second time about thirteen
years ago. The bride. a beautiful wild
ow. had a grown daughter. and had
provided in the ante-nuptial agreement
for the settlement by Reid of $500 upon
the daughter. that she might finish her
education.
The Washington times., 1905-12-13

This amount was about all the
money Author Reid could scrape to-
gether. Five minutes after the cere-
mony his wife took French leave. He
never saw her from that time
This is believed TO have upset his
mind. Reid had a small property hold
ing IN Minneapolis, Mimi, but when
his wlfe left him. he could not realize
money on the estate and could not dis
pose Of 1t, as he declined TO obtain a
divorce.
Ihe small sum he secured from the
rental Of his property scarcely kept
body and soul together He frequently
appeared to be actually suffering from
hunger, while his clothing was threat
bare.

STRIKE AT NEW YEAR SURE
Typothetae Will Not Grant Eight
Hour Day and Union Men
Will Walk Out.

The breach between the employing
Job printers and the typographical
Union is daily widening, and it is real
lied by both that on January 4. when
the present contract expires, Washing
ton will be treated to its first strike
Yesterday afternoon the washington
Typothetae held meeting and discussed
immediately precipitating the fight As
the intent has been from the beginning
TO avoid all strife, il was decided 10

Open Shop.


In all the job printing offices. notices
have been posted that open shop would
be declared at the expiration of the con-
tract and the employers are seeking
non-union men for the places on January
T.
The trouble originated i'm the demand
OF the International Typographical
Union upon the local union that the
Washington body enforce the eight hour
day. The men had been working nine
hours This is the only point of differ
ence.
In the contract of the local union with
the employing printers appears a clause
WHICH stipulates that all differences
shall be arbitrated, but because this
order came from the central office. the
local union had no power of arbitration
he International Union has been en-
deavoring for the last few months to
establish the eight-hour day throughout
the country and many strikes have re-
suited On January /, the attempt will
oraI
Employers Argument.
The Washington job printers assert
the situation here is peculiar and the
change proposed would work ruin to
their business. 1t is stated that the buIk
OF the work is such that when an order
iS received. the work must be gotten out
immediately, most of il being job work
from visitors, bills from Congress or
papers from the various courts. With
this sort of work, the printer must of
necessity work overtime and long hours
in time of rush.
IT is further said that shortening the
working day would necessitate an in
crease OF the capacity of all the plants
IN town in order TO get out the work
they are now doing IN eight hours. The
plants are in many instances running to
thelr Iuli capacity and have no space
for expansion.
contract exists between the employ
Ing printers and the pressmen's Tnion
!or nine-hour day and the contract
does not expire for eighteen months
Two bodies OF men in the same estah-
ilshnent working different number of
hours, the employers fear, would cause
endless confusion.
There Is absolutely no feeling between
the two factions in this city, but the
strike is considered inevitable and un-
avoidable.

The New Road Law.

AuC NCW NOdQ LAVE
The road law as passed by the last
Legislature, offers chance for any
locality to get good roads If the
people ale willing to pay for them.
Briefly, the bill provides for the
formation of independent good
roads districts, the same as indie
pendent school districts; the abso-
Lutte control of all road and poll tax
collected in the district up to rs per
cent of the assessed valuation of the
district for road purposes; and the
election of Good Road Commission
ers in the district to look after the
roads, independent of the county
commissioners.
To form such district, it is nee
essary to present to the county COM
mlssiOners at regular meeting a
petition signed by a majority of the
freeholders within the proposed i'm
provement district. This petition
must set forth assessed valuation of
all the taxable property, the route it
is intended to improve, the kind of
material to be used, the petition
must be published for two weeks,
giving the date when it is to be pre-.
sented the board, and three copies
posted in the district three weeks
The bard after hearing all protests,
may declare the district formed, and
order an election for electlng the
three commissioners, who hold for
two years The commissioners are
under $500 bond.
These commissioners may order
an election to bond the district up
to 25 per cent of the assessed valua
ton, a two-thlrds vote being neces-
sary to carry. The bonds must not
sell below par, must rot bear more
than per cent interest, and may
run for 20 years with option of pay
ing in 10. The bond money may
be used for labor, machinery, mater
ial or buying land for road purposes.
The county treasurer is the treas
urer aud the county collects the
road taxes the same as any other
taxes.
