CUT HIS THROAT.
Will Hays Uses His Knife
On Pete Laub.

An affray took place near the cor
ner Of Virginia and Sixth streets
about o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
in which Pete Laub was cut twice
by Will Hays. A long cash was
made on the left side of Laub's
neck and the rear of his left arm
was also slashed, both being ugly
wounds, from which blood flowed
freely, until sewed up by DR.. Wood
ard, who was called to attend the
injured man.. Both parties were ta-
ken to police headquarters. Hays
was held to circuit court by Judge
Knight on charge of cutting in
sudden heat and passion and Laub
on charge Of assault and battery.
The latter was permitted to go on
his own recognizance and Hays
furnished bond in the sum Of 500.
AS the grand jury is in session the
matter will probably be investigated
at once.

The President Tuesday sent to the
Senate the nomination of the negro,
Charles w. Anderson, for the New
York Second District international
Revenue Collectorship. The APP
pointment came in the nature of a
surprise to the New York Senators,
only one of whom was in his seat.
They have consented to the appoint
ment, but strong protest will be
made. The negro's appointment
will be confirmed, as the Democrats
are willing for the north to have its
own experience with negroes in
office.

LAST OF THE CONFED-
ERATES.

John II. Reagan, the last member
Of the Confederate Cabinet, died IN
Texas this week.
He went to Texas in 1889, and in
his life, says the Chicago Record
Herald, and he served under three
flags, had honored and been honored
by the people in whose cause he was
as valiant in war as he was wise in
peace, and finally, in the fullness OF
years and achievement, passed to his
eternal rest.
Born in Sewer county, Tennessee,
October 8, 1918, and dying at his
home at Palestine, Texas, March 6,
the activities Of John Henninger
Reagan furnish an inspiration to all
Americans. In the Republic of
Texas he fought in many campaigns
against the Indians. In the State Of
Texas he served the commonwealth
as colonel of its militia, justice of
the peace, sat in its legislature and
upon the bench. Then he went to
Congress and was counted one Of
the ablest members of the House,
which he left in 1861 because he be-
lieved it his duty to cast his for
tunes with the confederacy.
Under the stars and bars his was
high political preferment. First
Postmaster General Of the Confed-
crate States Of America, he relin-
pushed that post to become secre-
tary of its treasury, devoting his
energies and his fortune to a cause he
loved and fondly hoped might pre-
vail. But when the fortunes of war
decreed that the southland should
not depart the Union, and while
prisoner of war, this man undertook
the work of calming sectional hatred,
and finally returned to his people to
advocate Cancellation and unity.
Ripein experience, he again be-
came a legislator of the nation,
serving as a senator from 1887 until
1891, fathering the "Reagan#inter-
state commerce law, (which as af-
Iterward amended by Senator Cub
lum, of Illinois, became the law

A Railroad Noise Nuisance.
To the Editor of The Star:


AS constant reader Of The Star here
with take the liberty of writing to you re-
garding the nuisance of the excessive blow
ing of locomotive whistles in the southeast
ern part of the city at night, in the hope
that agitation of the matter may result in
the abatement of an evil which afflicts a
considerable portion of the population All
through the long hours of the night the East
Washingtonian's slumbers are disturbed and
the air is split and lacerated by an almost
unceaslng sequence of beiiowiugs, boots and
screams from the various types of locomo-
tves which frequent the tracks in the neigh
borhood of the Eastern branch and the
freight yards west of the tunnel These
hideous noises may be heard for miles In
the case of the giant discord whistles on the
tives, one finds himself wondering how
enough steam can be withdrawn to create
such mighty noises and yet leave sufficient
power to move the trains.
Why is 1t that with the almost universal
use of air brakes, the block system and
modern methods of signaling, locomotive
Enthusiastically such tremendous, BOOM
ing, distance-annihilating whistles-should
be used at all?
Many cities in this country have by local
ordinances practically stopped this archaic
and barbarous practice during the night
hours. the responsibility for which In large
degree often rests no higher up than with
the engine drivers individually. II railway
traffic can be operated in other localities
without the accompaniment of such an In
human racket at night IL Is but reasonable
10 suppose that the same may be done In
Washington. R. MILLER
