KILLING OF THos. M. RINEHART
Efforts Being Made to Capture Alleged
SLAYER.

The funeral of Thomas NJ Rinehart. the
railroad contractor who was murdered while
near Abortion, Howard county. Md. last
saturday, as stated in The Sunday Star,
occurred this morning from the home of
the father of the deceased at Covington.
Va. Mr.. ]. H. Rinehart who ACCOMPANIED
the remains of his brother from Baltimore
Saturday, is expected to return home to-
night He will probably go from here to
Baltimore or Howard county and assist in
the effort that is being made to capture the
alleged slayer
The county authorities have offered a
reward OF 500 for the arrest of Albert
Carter, and 1t is expected the amount will
oe increased to $1,000 or even more Very
little was done yesterday by the people
who started out Saturday to pursue Carter.
1t is said that nothing was seen of him
after he passed through Woodstock Sheriff
Hunt asked the authorities Of the adjoin-
Ing counties to be on the lookout for the
man. 1t was thought that he would make
an effort to reach Washington Junction in
order to catch a train going west Carter,
II fs stated. has lived in Pittsburg and
Cumberland, and 1t was thought he might
endeavor to reach one of the cities.
Mr.. Rinehart's popularity caused many
persons in the neighborhood of Alberton
TO volunteer TO assist in the search for the
fugitive. Carter had been in the camp of
workmen about three months He appeared
there one day and asked for a position
Being an able-bodied man, he was given
employment and assigned to a place in
connection with the tunnel work. He was
known to the men with whom he worked
as a ''shanty rat" being found lettering
about the shanties greater part of his
time instead of at his work. 1t is also said
that Carter was a patron of the alleged
"speakeasies'' near the camp. and also
that he sold liquor and won money from
other workmen at gambling games. Mr..
R!nehart assisted in the arrest of Joseph
Bradley, colored. for the murder of John
Redwine, also colored, March %.
Ii Is said to be possible that Carter had
Mr. Rinehart's conduct in that case in mind
when he fired the fatal shot Saturday. al
though there was nothing said about 1t.
Mr. Rinehart reached the works, riding his
mule, and, 1t is stated. merely requested
Carter and others to go to work instead
oe standing about the building talking.
Freeland HURT and Amos Dawson colored,
who appeared as witnesses at the inquest,
say that Carter refused to return to work
or leave the camp, and that the men had
words before Carter drew his weapon and
fired. The two witnesses are held in GUS
tody.

Teheuantepec Girl With Headdress.

Cruz about year ago to inspect the harbor
works and the Tehuantepec railway he told
the gentlemen who accompanied him an In
teresting story of his official experience. 1t
appears that a party of revolutionists had
arranged to land and conceal a cargo OF
arms and ammunition in a little bay called
Salna Marquee, just above Salina Cruz
Diaz received information from secret
source about the movement, collected a
force of men, marched down to Tehuante-
pee hid in the brush until the conspirators
had landed everything and were concealing
their contraband cargo in the sand. Then
he jumped upon them and captured every
thing and everybody. 1t was his first military
experience and his first notable achieve
ment, and when he was down here he
climbed to the top of hill where he could
overlook the scene of the exploit and de-
scribed 1t "con mucho gusto," as the Mex
leans saw.

Trial Of New Submarine Boat.
'pecial Cablegram to The Star.


PARIS, April o.-The new submarine,
which is directed from the shore or from
a battleship by means of electrical waves,
has finished it's trials at Antilles and is
said to have fulfilled the expectation of its
inventor NJ Lalande. The instrument is
formed of two cone-shaped cylinders placed
horizontally one on the top of the other.
The upper one is the smaller and Is fitted
at either end with a short mast for receiv-
ing the waves This part Of the vessel is
never quite submerged. The lower part
is joined to the upper by strong transoms,
and contains the torpedo tubes, the motor,
the steering gear and the screw. The OPP
orator controls the weapon from a trans
hitting station, and can send 1t along In
any direction he chooses without danger
to himself.

Irreconcilable Enemy to Diaz.

The only resident of Importance who re-

isthmus with a party on his way to the
California gold fields. But he did not get

of that sort, and Diaz ordered him to be

was carried by mutual friends to the Cana
dian hut the latter refused to respond,
and sent back an insulting reply.

NUMBER OF PAUPERS
GRADUALLY GROWING
Their Ratio to Population, However,
Is Slowly Decreasing.

WASHINGTON July 10.-According
to a report issued by the census bureau
today there was in the United States
In 1904. 163,176 persons in aims houses
and of these 111,s17 were males. AL
though the number Of aims nous paup-
ers is increasing their ratio to popula-
ton is decreasing, in 1880 it was 1872
per 100000 of population. It decreased
to $4,000 in 1890 and to 200 in 1908.
While pauperism is less prevalent
among females than among males, the
chief distinction between the two sexes
seems to be that females, having once
entered the aims houses are there per-
man ent1y, while men, to a large ex-
tent, only winter boarders.
Negroes do not constitute so large a
proportion OF the aims house popula-
tion as of the general population.
The foreign born whites show q
greater tendency towards pauperism
than the native whites.
