DISPLEASED WITH WAY
The BLUECOAT ACTED

When Policeman Putnam, stationed
at Fifteenth and 6 streets northwest,
ordered Jerry Conroy, student, TWEEN
ty-three years old. away from the
crossing last night, the young man
refused to move and seemed in a mood
TO engage in debate with the blue
coat.
Putnam says the traveller on the
aowery pathway OF knowledge waxed
profane in his discussion Of the merits
Of his case, and also volunteered his
opinion Of policemen. which was any
thing but complimentary. a large
crowd collected. and Putnam decided
that the easiest way was the best and
.'pinched" the young student on a
charge Of disorderly conduct This
was not to the liking Of the latter.
and he showed his dtspieasure by TAX
ing off his coat ana digging into the
policemans solar pIexus with his fists.
When he landed In the First pre-
cinct station he showed signs Of hav-
ing gotten receipts for all blows de-
liVered, and was locked up on charges
or assault and disorderly conduct. In
the Police Court the speakers can talk
as long as they want 70. so long as
their words are pertinent to the case
and not impertinent to the Judge, SO
Jerry will have another show for his
white alley tomorrow.

SECRETARY SHAW
FIRES ASA ROGERS
Starts Political 2iix-up in
Virginia.
SAID TO BE RETALIATION
Collector of Internal Revenue Allied
With Bowden, Who Is Openly
for Fairbanks.
SAID TO BE RETALIATION

Secretary Shaw has started a general
political mix-up in Virginia by removing
Asa Rogers. collector of internal rev
enue for the eastern district OF the
State alleging inenciency.
Mr.. Shaw declared that Commissioner
Yerkes had recommended the removal
because Mr.. Rogers was Incompetent TO
perform the work. This has angered
the friends OF Mr. Rogers and all those
who support MIR. Fairbanks as a Presi-
Dental candidate.
Mr.. Rogers and his friends say his
resignation was requested because he
co-operated with National Committee
man Bowden, who openly advocates the
nomination of Mr. Fairbanks three
years hence.
They claim the charge OF ineh1ciency
was not suggested until after Secretary
Shaw learned of the activity of Messrs.
Bowden. Rogers and their followers in
behalf or Mr.. Fairbanks.
Mr.. Rogers was appointed internal
revenue collector in 1897 and was re-
appointed less than a year ago. His re-
appointment was based on the good
record made during his eight-year term.

Traced to Town Water.

Undoubtedly, some Of the cases of ty-
phoid fever are those of people who have
been in the country or at the seashore,
where they have absorbed infected wa
ter or milk but il is clear that the ma
jority of them are traceable to unboiled
or unfiltered water here in town. At the
same time, there is no reason why
strangers should fear to come 10 Wash
ington, for they can command at all
reputable hotels and boarding houses
safe water and safe milk. / hope that
Congress will appreciate the good work
which the Health Department has done
under trying conditions with inadequate
forces, and that we may have the addt-
tfnnal legislation and appropriation
which we need for the health Of the city.
Speaking generally, we ought TO
have, besides an increase of force Tor
the Health Department, and better IA
cilities for It's work, provision Tor the
erection OF the tuberculosis wards OF
the municipal hospital 10 meet the
white plague which IS more danger
GUS than typhoid fever, yellow TeNer,
OF smallpox; the enactment of 1egisla-
ton for the destruction OF insanltary
dwellings. to clean up our alley sums,
and convert our alleys INTO minor
streets; to change the Anacost1a mats
into q condition of health and beauty
and usefulness, and generally TO make
the National Capital what II ought 10
be in respect of sanitary conditions as
We have been recommending for at
least five years past.
Il trust that we may have the CO.
creration of every puDlic-spirited citi-
zen in making this campaIgn for health

gressionaI program.

depends chiefly to sustain the indict-
ments which 1t is expected the grand
jury viii report as a result of its investi-
cation of the circumstances connected
with the leak in the cotton report
There is much speculation as to the
time the grand jury Will make a re-
port OF its findings in the matter Many
are of the opinion that with the evi-
dence Mr. Beach already has in hand
the jury would be justified in reporting
one or more true bills within the next
week or ten days.
There are others, however who con-
tend the investigation of the cotton
scandal is of such a nature that pro-
gress must be made slowly and venture
the opinion that the grand jury will not
make a presentment to District Attor-
ney Beach in less time than three

Witte Declares Russia
Is Anxious for Peace

PORTSMOUTH,, N H. Aug. I'm
Witte. the senior peace envoy of Rus
Ela, talked interestingly tonight relative
TO the negotiations now in progress.
The Japanese ENJOYS made no formal
answer today to the answer submitted
by my government" he said. They
suggested that we take up the demands
point by point for discussion. White
We had different ideas. We met their
desires. There are twelve japanese de-
mands. Figuring upon two days cou-
sideraIi0n for each. the length OF the
deliberations give promise OF continuing
twentyfour days at least

The subjects under discussion mean
either war or peace. We shall do
everything in our power 70 bring about
peace. # the war continues. there will
be the shedding of the blood of 100. .o5o
more men Then other countries may
become involved.
n. Nltte declared that he courted the
fullest publicity OF the terms and their
discussion. He said he had come TO the
United States with the idea OF taking
the American people into his conf
dence, but he had been met with the
objection 10 any such proceeding
Denies Armistiee.
He said he wished 10 deny explicitly
and categoriealIy the report that Rus
ria had at any Of the sessions OF the
ENJOYS suggested an armistice.
There IS an Impression that the pleni-
potentiaries have reserved the strongly
contested terms Of the Japanese until
the last. and that those II the most

and mining rights in and about Sal1ha-
