May Have Prevented Murder

Capt. Boardman was told this morning of
a conversation that had occurred on street
car between two colored men. one of whom,
he was told. had said he was going to get a
pistol and kill somebody because of trouble
he had had last night. The man who made
the report to the police official gave an ac-
curate description of the one who had
spoken of his intended purchase. He said
he was wearing a roughly twisted straw
hat, with a colored band around it, and his
description was such a good one that he did
not see how detective could miss the col
ored man If he appeared upon the streets
Thinking the man would probably purchase
cheap pistol, Capt. Boardman sent Detec-
tive Trumbo out to watch the secondhand
stores. Shortly after o'clock a man an
swering the description given appeared at
one of the stores and asked to be shown a
revolver. He was under the influence of
liquor and the detective arrested him before
he had made the purchase.
i wasn't going to shoot anybody" stated
the colored man to Capt. Boardman. Il
was going to take 1t down to Danville Va
where / was going to see my mother"
The man gave his name Harrison Will
son. and said he wanted the weapon to
carry for protection. Wilson, who conducts
several bootblack stands In different sec
tons of the city, was locked up for alleged
drunkenness. He was released later in the
day.

RAN INTO FREIGHT CARS.
Express Train on B. and o. Branch
Causes Destruction.

A moving express train on the Shepherd q
branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
crashed into several freight cars on the
switch In the grounds of st. Elizabeth g
Asylum last night about Z o'clock and did
considerable damage. The train was NOV
ing south at the usual rate Of speed when
Engineer John Peach saw that II had gone
upon the wrong track. He realized that
he could not possibly prevent a collision
and did what he could TO stop his train.
Then he and the fireman jumped and saved
themselves from probable injury.
There was one car on the switch that was
filled with freight. and the others were
empty. The engine struck the loaded car
with force enough to partly wreck II. and
three OF the freights were derailed. The
pilot of the engine was smashed. About the
time the crash came and the train stop
ped the engineer and fireman returned to
the engine and did what they could to re-
pair the damage. 1t was necessary for
them to send for the wrecking crew. how
ever. to get the derailed cars back upon
the track and repair what other damage
they could. 1t is believed that the switch
had been accidentally left open by railroad
men, as the lock showed no signs of having
been tempered with. Not more than 500
damage resulted.

Facilities for Repairing Vessels.

The facilities for the hauling out and
repair of small vessels in this vicinity will
be greatly improved during the next two
or three months as improvements are to
be made at two Of the boat repair yards
Plans are being prepared, II Is stated, for
new railway at Benefits boat yard,
and the work on II is to be started very
shortly. The railway will be built along
side the one now In service, but will be
somewhat smaller and will be used for
hauling out small pleasure craft, thus leav-
ing the larger railway open for tugs and
river vessels. Owing to the limited space
in the yard and the fact that no more space
but fifty feet in length.
The construction of the new railway at
Deans boat yard at Alexandria, the plans
for which were completed several months
ago, will be started, II is said, dur
Ing the coming fall. 1t will be $50 long
and Will be built of heavy material so that
any Of the tug boats and most of the sail
ing vessels that come up the Potomac can
be hauled out on it,
Steam power will be used in raising and
lowering the cradle with the vessels on
it, and the railway will be modern In all
way was dug out over a year ago, so that
there will be no delay when the work on
the new plant is started. These additions
to the repairing plants at the boat yards
will be of much advantage and will keep
work at home that has often to go to
other boat yards owing to the railways
here being crowded with work.

'It is through forgetting the historical
setting of these words that they have

But it Is certain that the actual hearers

we stumble, offered no difficulty to them;
no Jewish teacher or rabbi with whom the

used the word In the sense of rejecting one
person in comparison with or in favor Of
