Constitutional Amendment
May Be Necessary

In connection with the question of
jurisdiction of Alexandria county, there
Is belief among men who have inves-
tigated 1t that nothing short of an
amendment to the Federal Constitution
can absolve Alexandria county from
Federal Jurisdiction. This, 1t appears,
was the belief of the best authorities at
the time the retrocession was made.
Extremely interesting is testimony
from Niles National Register of Decem-
Der u, 1916. 1t was in that year that
the county was retroceded TO Virginia.
1t apears that there was a vigorous
agitation afoot at that time to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia.
Fearing it would carry. the people who
lived on the Virginia side of the District
wanted to be retroceded 10 the Old Do
minion, and they carried their point
with Congress. Niles Register of the
date mentioned contains this record:
Retrocession of Alexandria.
According to the act of the last ses-
sion or Congress, the question of retro
cession was submitted to the people of
Alexandria city and county, OH the 31st

State Department Told.

The specific information to the effect
that Gloucester fishermen are being de-
MED the right TO fish OF the Newfound-
land coast. on the ground that the yes
sells sail under American registry, and
not specifically under American fishing
license, was received at the State De-
partment yesterday
Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets, who is here in Washington as
counsel for the Gloucester fishing inter-
ests. says Secretary Root early this
morning informed him that he had re-
ceived kilograms from the masters of
two fishing vessels. saying the customs
officer at Boone Bay had refused them
a fishing license, on the ground men
toned above.
The action of the customs officer In
these cases., said Mr.. Gardner this
morning, is wholly in line with the
pohcy of annoyance and petty interfer-
ence with American vessels which has
been pursued consistently by the New
toundland government. AS a matter of
tact and law, American registry is in
elusive of American license and the
carping distinction that has been made
cannot be justified.
"A short time ago the right to fish in
the bays and inlets OF the Newfoundland
coast was denied by Sir Robert Bond
the Newfoundland Premier, on the
ground that the treaty of 1S1s as to New
foundland did not include these words.

New Theory Advanced.

This position, apparently, has been
abandoned and a new theory of inter
ference substituted in it's place
II have no belief whatever that this
contention will be insisted upon for any
long period OF time About the time 1t
is abandoned. however, a new method of
Interference will probably be found"
The fact Of the matter is, the New
foundlanders consider the Great Banks
their private property and have always
objected TO the intrusion OF foreigners
The humor of this view appears when IL
II is remembered the Banks are 200
miles from the Newfoundland coast.

EXCITING INCIDENTS
IN CONNECTION WITH EARLY
MORNING FIRE.

Several exciting incidents attended fire
that occurred In the vicinity of 11th and 8
streets this morning about GAO o'clock.
Two horses were burned to death, No. .
engine met with an accident and was SO
seriously damaged that 1t was put out OF
service and a number of persons hurriedly
left their beds and engaged in the work Of
removing personal effects from their houses.
The fire started in the junk shop of Roberts
& Lewis, 1904 11th street, 1t is believed,
from spontaneous combustion. and soon
spread to the stable in which the two horses
were kept. The flames had gained consid-
erable headway by the time the firemen
reached the scene and 1t was impossible to
check them in time to prevent damage
to several houses, stables and sheds.
Men. women and children saw the blaze
and shouted fire before the alarm had been
turned in. While some of them went to the
nearest fire-alarm box others ran to the
hre engine houses to have the companies
respond. When No. o engine reached 18th
and U streets the horses slipped and fell.
When the driver got them upon their feet
again he was unable to control them In
time to prevent a collision with a lamp
post. So badly damaged was the engine
that 1t was put out of service and had to
be taken back to Its quarters The Junk
shop and stable of Roberts & Lewis were
DESTROYED. Buildings in the rear of 11O3,
110o 11O7 and iii street were each dam
aged to the amount OF $50. The house OF
William Bowie. 1902 11th street and the
home of Mrs. NJ. E. Worther 1906 1fth
