Motion for New Trial.

A motion for new trial was made in the criminal court here today by attorneys of John William Taggart, a white man who was convicted a week or so ago on charge 0f incest.

BIG MURDER PLOT FAILED.
Alleged Attempt to Kill the Peace
Delegates,

SEATTLE, Wash, November 30.-The at
tempt to murder the peace delegation and
destroy the treaty between Japan and Rus
STA. which was drawn up by the plenipo-
tentiaries in Portsmouth, and was being
sent to the Emperor of Japan, was witness
ed by officers and passengers on the Dakota
on the night of her arrival at Yokohama.
DR.. William Lopp, surgeon of the Dakota,
in speaking of the incident, said:
1.-The whole thing happened the night of
our arrival at Yokohama. We were lying
in Mississippi bay, just outside of the
breakwater. All the torpedo boats and war
vessels which escorted the peace commits
sion were drawn up in a long line. The
launch containing the delegation and the
treaty left the warship and started for the
landing. Suddenly one of the torpedo boats,
anchored near the end of the line of bat
tleships, slipped her cable and started after
the launch making for her at right-angle
course. The people on the launch saw the
torpedo boat leave the line of craft, and
they knew what was coming. The launch
was slow and the torpedo boat rushed on
like comet. Like a shot from cannon
she rushed on, and in minute struck the
launch, cutting her completely in two, and
raced on into the darkness. We could see
the men struggling in the water and cling
ing to the pieces of the wrecked boat.
Launches from the battleships were at
once sent to their rescue and saved all but
one. The treaty also was saved

TO CHANGE NAME OF RossLYN.
Proposition Submitted to Newly Or
ganized Board of Trade.
of INC Star

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA COUNTY COURT HOUSE.
November %. 1905.
The campaign of the citizens Of Alexan-
dria county have inaugurated to promote
the business interests of the county and to
bring 1t in a better light before the people
of the District and the state Of Virginia
has progressed to such an extent that those
who have furthered the movement feel en-
couraged to further effort. The latest prop
osition that has been advanced toward the
cleaning up of Rosslyn was made this morn
ing at the meeting of the newly organized
board of trade. when a suggestion was adj
vanced for the changing Of its name. The
business men interested In the upbuilding of
the county believe that the name of the VII
lage at the south end of the Aaueduct bridge
is associated in the minds Of the people
Of the city and county with the disorder
that formerly distinguished it. and they
believe a change in the name will help in
the redemption of the village.

and trust company planned last week were
finally consummated at meeting held
in the Office of Mr.. Frank Lyon, at Ross
lyn. this morning. Officers for the board
of trade were elected as follows: G. G.
Boteler president; James b. Henderson
ond vice president; Frank Lyon, secre-
tary. and A. D. Torreyson, treasurer
These, with four members. constitute the
board of directors. The board will meet
at IL O'Clock Monday morning to consider
such matters may be considered of con-
sequence. The trust company officers will
be selected at meeting to be held at
Mr. Lyons Office Monday morning at 10
o'clock The capital of the company was
fixed at 100000, and a committee was ap-
pointed to prepare a charter and select
candidates for the various offices. This
committee will-report at the meeting Mon
day and the books for the subscription of
stock will be opened at that time. The
committee includes NJ. E. Church, Frank

demands of this northwest country.
Assurances have been received from
many senator's and representatives in
congress that they will help in induc-
ing congress to provide for continu-
ing the work at Cello and Astoria.
Senator Sam Piles, OF Seattle, has
been quoted as saying that while he
could hardly be expected to divide his
effort In a way to endanger the pro-
jects of his own state, he sees no
reason why he should not lend his in
fluence to Oregon at this time IN get
ting the appropriation for the Column
bias Improvement.
The we'll known cordiality that ex-
lists between Senator Piles and Sena-
tor Levi Ankeny, Of Walla walla, and
the understanding that they will work
in harmony in Washington this win
ter during the session of congress,
leads men here to believe that they
will find Senator Piles in line for the
movement that has been started, for
Senator Ankeny strongly favors the
Improvement.
That strong representation will be
sent to Washington to support the
efforts of T. B. Wilcox is a certainty.
The enthusiasm that has been mani
tested here and in all towns of the
northwest appears 70 insure that all
potential energy will be expended and
that success will attend the efforts.

QUARANTINE CONFERENCE.
Also Discusses Southern Immigration
Question.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 10.-This
Is the second and closing day of the
Southern immigration and Quaran-
tine conference, which Is considered
one Of the most important gatherings
ever held in the south.

tine and was followed by an address
on citizenship, Its Duties and Re-
sponslbilities," by Robert 8. Fulton,

The visiting British squadron,

New York, Nov. 1O.-Probably
never before was this city so full of
blue-jackets as now and in some parts
of the city, particularly on the Bow
cry, they are as thick as mosquitoes on
Staten Island. There are at present
over 5000 bluejackets of the American
and the British navy in this district
and most of them are on shore leave
during the visit of the British squad
ron. The most cordial relations are
existing between the officers and men
of the two navies and it is not an un-
common sight TO see American and
British sailors strolling through the
streets arm in arm, taking in the
sights and making determined efforts
to impart a roseate hue to things in
general,

a quality and so situated as to be es-
pecially inviting for irrigation pur-
poses. The entire valley is traversed
by the main belt of an important rail-
way system, Snd there seems no reason
to doubt that 1t is capable of sup
porting very considerable population
If engaged in intensive farming on
small irrigated tracts.
The quality OF the gravels is espec-
tally favorable for the construction
of wells of large capacity, indications
being that pumping plants can be
very economically constructed, and
proved profitable. At locations where
the valley reaches a considerable width
1t would seem practicable to construct
central power station, and trans
NIT power to numerous small pump
ing plants, located in the small hold
ings Of irrigable land.
1t would seem practicable at Sterl-
ing to secure such power from the
large sugar factory, which has been
built Mt the place. At other points In
the valley these factories could be
established. and the powerful and
expensive engines utilized during the
irrigation season TO generate electric
ity which could be transmitted over
large section of the valley, adja-
cent TO the factory to pump under
ground waters upon lands planted in
sugar beets
Under present conditions, during a
large portion of the year, the engines
In the factories remain idle. In fact,
they are never in operation until after
the irrigation season is closed.
One of the favorp BILE conclusions
from work In this valley Is the fact
that private capital can probably de-
velop the water resources existing,
without the necessity of constructing
large plants, requiring large capital
or government aid. The situation
seems to call for numerous small
pumping plants rather than for sin
gle large plant. The discovery that
water in the valley of Birdwood creek
has considerable artesian head may
prove OF great value to lands near
North Platte. as the lands near Bird
wood creek with the exception of
very narrow strip in the valley, con-
| sists of sand hills OF little value for
| agricultural purposes.
By the construction of numerous
1a-inch wells, about 100 feet deep,
along the west fork of Birdwood
creek, the low stage flow of the stream
could be nearly doubled. and the
waters taken from the creek near its
mouth and placed upon lands In the
valley of the Platte river. Good lands
in the valley of the South Platte are
in large part still lying idle, and the
immigration OF people able to make
the best use Of the present water re-
sources Is very much desired.
