MERITS OF JIU JITSU
CONSIDERATION BY A JOINT
MILITARY BOARD.
Meeting of Officers by Direction of the
President to Pass Upon
the Matter.

Under instructions from the President q
joint board of army and navy officers met
at the Army War College building yester>
day morning to consider and report upon
the physical training OF cadets at the
United States Military and Naval acade-
mics, and also to consider and report upon
the question OF swords and workmanship
in the army and navy. The board is com.
posed of the following officers:
Brigadier General Albert L. Mills, Cap.
tain Peyton C. March, general staff; Cape
tain Frank w. Coe. Artillery Corps, all OF
the army: Commander William F. Halsey
and Surgeon Edward S. Bogert. jr.. OF the
navy.
The board organized by the election OF
Gen. Mills as president and Capt. March
recorder, and then proceeded in BODY
to pay It's respects to the President at
the White House and to Secretaries Tart
and Morton at the War and Navy departs
ments. Thorough consideration will be
gwen by the board to the advantages AND
merits Of the Japanese systems OF Jiu Jltsu
and Jiu Do, with a view to their intros
duction into the course of physical tralnS
ing at the two military academies. 1t -
expected that the board will be In session
several weeks in the consideration of the
ton of It's report to the President.
In view of their official consideration or
the subject, the members of the board feel
that they are precluded from discussing
the matter for publication at this time:
Although 1t Is understood that several. II
not all of the members, favor course OF
instruction in Japanese methods, 1t was
impossible to induce any of them TO COM
NIT themselves on the subject today. This
was especially the case with regard 70
the demonstration of Jiu Jitsu given by
two expert japanese wrestlers at the West
Point Academy Monday. A feature or mat
demonstra ton was that both the Japanese
wrestiers were overcome by athletes or
the academy. Cadet Woodbury. gained q
fall over one OF the Japanese, although
the latter outweighed him. and Cadet ZIP.
ton center rush of the academy foot pal4
team was equally successful with Pro-
fessor Lolio the principal japanese ifl'
structor In the absence of details regard.
ing these contests the local enthusiasts OF
the Jiu Jitsu game do not feel like accept
ing it as final. AS Of them put 1t, even
should a trained American wrestler De
eble to overcome a Jiu Jitsu expert mat
In itself would not prove that knowledge
of the japanese science of wrestling would
not be of great benefit to the young men
al the Military and Naval academies. That
conclusion was based on the theory thaL
fighting men should be thoroughly equippe4
in all modern and approved methods OF Of
Tense and defense.

Vermont, Injured.

dispatch from st. Johnsbury, VT. last

United States senator and former chief
justice of the supreme court Of Vermont.
was driving, with his wife this afternoon
their sleigh wes struck by a train the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain branch

troll. dashed between two of its cars. The
sleigh was demolished, and the Judge and
Mrs Ross were hurled many feet away

Ross was rendered unconscious.
The train was stopped as quickly as pos.
sible and the victims were brought here in

CODY MAY SUE HOWARD GOULD.
Wants $4,000 for Loss on Katherine
Clemmons' Tours.

A dispatch from Denver, Col, says: I'm
less Howard Gould settles a claim of $780,
600 against his wife, formerly Katherine
Clemmons, for a deficit in a theatrical STAR
ring venture, Col. W. F. Cody, it is alleged,
will institute suit for recovery of the
amount against the young millionaire.
Cody backed katherine Clemmons as an
actress twelve years ago. It was BUSH
ness proposition with him and he believed
there was money In 1t, but the enterprise
failed.
He started Miss Clemmons in England in
1892 in "Theodora,'' The Lady of Venice"
and Miss Doscott.' and in the same plays
in America during the season Of 1S93-94.
There was a shortage Of about 100000,
Cody's contract with Miss Clemmons was
that he would stand TO lose $4,000 above
that amount. She was to bear the rest of
the loss.
II do not believe It will come to a suit"
said Cody yesterday. II think that Mr..
Gould will arrange an amicable settlement.
The written contract is specific, and / am
sure he will admit the justice of the claim.
Had Miss Clemmons not made a worthy
marriage I never would have called on her
for the loss, but now she is amply able to
make it good"

MRS. DAY NOT MRS. NICHOLS.
Divorced Wife of Ex-Assistant Attor-
ney General Wins Her Case.

dispatch from Urbana- Ill., says: Mrs.
Susan c. Day, the divorced wife of eX-
Assistant Attorney General of the United
States William A. Day, claimed by Charles
A. Nichols of this city as his wife by a
common law marriage. scored an important
victory after three years litigation yester-
day, when Judge Phiabrick. in the circuit
court, refused to acknowledge the alleged
marriage as legal
At the time of the presentation of the
name OF w. A. Day as assistant attorney
general to the Senate for confirmation Mrs.
Day went to Washington to fight her for
mer husband with the record of their di-
vorce suit. At the same time DR.. Nichols
caused a sensation by announcing secret
marriage, which was denied by Mrs Day.
Soon after, when in her yard, Mrs. Day
fired several shots from revolver at the
physician, but none took effect. The couple
were indicted by the grand jury for living
together, but the Indictment was quashed.
Mrs. Day has declared that the physician
was a penniless adventurer seeking her
money.
Evidence in the case has been taken in
Louisville, KY. where reputable witnesses
testified DIR. Nichols had introduced Mrs.
Day as his wife. but this was declared by
Judge Philbrick to have no bearing on the
case. Testimony was introduced by DR..
Nichols to prove that Mrs. Day had ad-
mitted the marriage to several persons.
Counsel for DR.. Nichols prayed an appeal.

Value of Maryland Taxable Property

Official figures of the total assessed value
of taxable property in the different coun-
ties of Maryland and Baltimore city at An
napolis Md, show that there has been
slight increase in amount throughout the
state since last year, and that there has
also been some increase in Baltimore city,
Notwithstanding the fire. The total In the
state reaches $780, 743, 1914, against s673 337,-
800 last year. and the total for Baltimore
city is 1886, 1862. 772 against $685., 34S 52S last
year.
The amount raised by the state tax is
much In excess of previous years, owing
to the fact that the rate Is now 221a cents
on the 500 worth of property, instead of
II cents. The increased rate Is due to the
fixing of the school tax at 10 cents instead
Of 1O1a, and the levying of the tax Of l
cent on the *10O for the public building loan
of 1904. The amount which will be raised
this year by the state tax is 81, 531 ,673.54,
and that Of last year was 81. IA ,873.4O.
The assessed value Of the property in
Baltimore city was 1886. 362, 772; in Mont
gomery county, $12, 522, 670, and in Prince
Georges, 81, ZOE. 1853.

NEGRO PENSION FRAUD.
Many Virginia Blacks Robbed of Their
Savings,

A dispatch from Richmond, Va. says:
Charged with a cruel fraud, Levi C. Sulli-
van and Charles Adrian, both of whom
claim to hail from Harrisonburg, Va, were
arraigned here yesterday. After being
locked up. Sullivan swallowed five capsules
containing opium. Twenty others were
found In his hand. His life was saved with
difficulty. He is now being closely watched
Ever since November according to their
own confession the men have l,een driving
through the country cheating ignorant and
infirm negroes out of their small savings
by means of bogus pension blanks. They
were attired in blue coats, with brass but
tons, which was strong factor In obtain
ing them the confidence of the negroes. The
application blanks found in their possess
sion bore notice stating that the bearers
had been duly authorized to examine ex-
slaves who have attained the age of fifty
five years, who are not worth over 81 900
and who shall answer all questions salts
factorly. 1t further stated that 1t was
deemed duty to provide for those who had
suffered so much in the past.
The men were arrested by Agent A. W.
Roome of Washington, who has thirty
cases against them so far, and these are
not thought to be a third of the negroes
who have been victimiZed.
The plan was to inform the negroes that
all former slaves are entitled to a pension
from the government and that for a GER
tain sum, which was generally all they
could raise, the swindlers undertook to
secure 1t for the negroes. The negroes
were then required to swear they would tell
people should prevent their getting the
pensions.
In some cases the men purchased twists
of tobacco from the negroes, and then, it
is alleged, frightened them into giving up
money by pretending to be revenue officers.

PRATTvILLE's FIRST BALE.
Autaug0 Capital MOdifies Quarantine
 Against Montgomery.

Prattville, Aug. 11.-(Special. 1.-The first bale of new cotton came to this market yesterday. It was grown by Hon. H. s. Doster on his plantation near town. This frs bale was sold to the Planters Warehouse Company at 12 1-2 cents.
 The Town Council refused to raise the quarantine against Montgomery, al- though the Board of Health recom- mended modification that would have permitted freedom of traffic and gen. eral business between this place and that city. The only modification made was the order to let such citizens as were away from home and were com pelled to pass. on their return, through Montgomery come in without requiring them to go into a detention camp.
 The corner stone of the new Court House will be laid at some time in the near future. It is understood the con tractors arc ready at any time to lay pared. It Is presumed the day will be named in few days and Lieutenant Governor Cunningham. who is to off, ciate at the ceremonies, will be in- formed, and the formal act will take place.
 The Board of Health has been busy cleaning the town in a manner not usual here. The town Is in good con dition from a sanitary viewpoint, but there are more mosquitoes than usual. The authorities are still warning upon them. The people are quiet and do not seem to be fear-stricken as they were several years ago when 1t was reported that yellow fever was in Montgomery.
 The remains of Miss Marie Edwards arrived this forenoon from Austin, Texas, where she died last Tuesday from tuberculosis, and they were in- this afternoon. Miss Edwards Is a na- tive of this place and was very popular.
