UPPER MARLBORO, August IS 1906
William c. Johnson, proprietor of one Of
the "hit-the-niggers -head-and-get cigar
schemes, operated at the recent fair, was
lodged in Jail here Saturday to await the
action of the grand jury, charged with the
larceny of three suits of clothes which
were on exhibition at the fair as specimens
of work done by the colored inmates of
the House of Reformation located at Chel-
tenham, Prince George county.
Johnson arrested Friday of last week
at the Rockville fair, where he was con-
Quoting the hit-the-coon s-head scheme, by
the sheriff of Montgomery county and
turned over to Constable Charles w. Barr
of Hyattsvlle. Saturday morning the
prisoner was given a hearing in Hyattsville
by Justice of the Peace Arthur Carr and
committed to the Marlboro Jail.
Supt Suit in charge of the House of
Reformation exhibit at the Southern Mary
land fair, identified the clothes those
displayed, and Constable Barr declared that
Johnson was wearing pair of the Chelten-
ham pants when arrested. 1t appears that
Johnson examined the display of clothes on
exhibition at the Marlboro fair, and when
he left for Rockville decided to appropriate
three suits of clothes. Supt. Suit missed
the goods and complained to the authori-
ties, who detailed Constable Barr TO visit
Rockville, with the above result.

NEW SMOKE PROTECTOR
To Be Purchased for the Washington
Firemen

Chief Engineer William T. Belt of the fire
department, who returned home yesterday
from Duluth Mimi, where he attended the
annual meeting of the Fire Chiefs Associa-
ton. made oral report to Commissioner
mcfarland this morning concerning the
proceedings of the convention and the inno-
vations in apparatus for fighting fire which
were on exhibition.
AS Commissioner mcfarland put it after
ward, probably the most important part Of
the result of Chief Belts visit to the Du-
luth meeting will be the purchase in the
near future of a new smoke protector for
use by members of the department in case
of fires where it is absolutely necessary for
men to penetrate to the seat of the flames
where, account Of the dense smoke, such
a procedure would otherwise he impossible.
Chief Belt described the smoke protector as
being constructed on the general plan of a
divers helmet, with provision, beside that
for having pure air pumped TO the wearer
inside a burning building, for keeping in
constant communication with the fireman
doing dangerous duty at the seat of a fire
by means OF telephone. Several other valu-
able auxiliary attachments are also part
of this smoke protector. Chief Belt said
that several of the smoke protectors are
now in use in Detroit Mich, where they
were reported to be a very valuable adjunct
to the service.

Men in Readiness.
Maj. Bell has his men in readiness for
the big national team match, which it is
hoped by every one here will be started
this afternoon. AS the number of targets
at the 200-yard range will permit of
all the thirty-seven competing teams being
assigned target 1t is hoped that both
slow and rapid fire stages of the national
team match at 200 yards may be completed
today. The speculation that is rife on
all portions of the range today regarding
the probable prize winners in the national
team match invariably includes the District
of Columbia team. The shooting members
of the District team for the national team
match were finally selected this afternoon
by Maj. Bell.
The team will consist of Major Alfred P.

Proceedings by Lena S. Walton
Against Wild Goose Mining Co.

Proceedings in equity were today lnsti-
tuted in the District Supreme Court py
Miss Lena S. Walton of Alaska and l.. H.
French, through Attorneys James Ham
ilton Lewis of Chicago and ex-senator
John M. Thurston Of this city for an IN
junction against the Wild Goose Mining
and Trading Company, San FRANCISCO
CORPORATION, and Ethan Allen Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior.
The compliments seek to have the Wild
Goose Company enjoyned from taxing ao-
vantage of judgment awarding TO them
possession of certain lands in Alaska,
which, 1t is claimed. are worth Sl,ooooo.
1t Is also sought 70 restrain the secretary
of the Interior and the commissioner OF the
general land Office from issuing patents
or certificates of tile to the lands in ques-
ton to the defendant corporation
Miss Walton, who is said to own extern
siye mining interests and to be perhaps
the largest woman land holder in Alaska,
alleges that she is entitled to the lands In
controversy and attacks the validity or the
Judgment, which she AYERS was optalheu
nv fraud violence, forgery and perjury
She further charges that the United States
district court of Alaska was imposed upon
by the mining company or Its agents 70
the extent that it became an innocent
party to the execution OF the alleged de-
signs of the defendant company to defraud
Miss Walton of her claim to the mining
property.
The appellate court, it is further charged,
was imposed on by insufficient record,
and affirmed, 1t is said, the judgment of the
lower court against Miss Walton on this
record These alleged frauds and alleged
illegalties were discovered by Miss Wal
toms counsel too late. 1t is stated. to bring
them to the courts attention.
Miss Walton's counsel intends, 1t is said,
to have a general airing of the case with a
view to preventing the Wild Goose Com
pany from perfecting its title to the prop
erty, and it is rumored that suit will be
filed at Nome. Alaska to restrain the exc
cution of the courts judgment, and another
suit may be filed in San Francisco, the
