COST OF INSPECTION.
One Point on Which the House AgricuI-
tural Committee Is Not Agreed.

When the House agricultural committee
met at B O'Clock this afternoon, after a re-
cess. all the provisions of the meat inspec-
tion bill had been agreed upon with the ex-
ception OF that relating to the payment of
the cost OF inspection. There will undou5t-
edly be a fight over this In committee this
afternoon. One very important anendment
was adopted this morning. 1t had been
tentatively agreed that the punishment for
the bribing or attempt to bribe an inspect,r
should be $4,000, with the alternative OF
imprisonment
But this morning an amendment TO the
Dill was adopted providing that the offanse
or bribery snail be punishable by a fine of
not less than 5000 and not more than s1C.
~ -, anu Imprisonment for not less than one
year and not more than three years The
committee members believe that this nro
vision, which makes Imprisonment for moi
less than one year mandatory. will have the
desired effect In preventing bribery or sny
attempt in this direction

BY COURT OF APPEALS
OPINIONS THIS AFTERNOON In
SEVERAL LOCAL CASES.

The Judgment of the District Supreme
Court confirming the award of the jury In
the outfall sewer case was today affirmed
by the Court of Appeals in an opinion by
Mr.. Justice McComas.
The appeal, taken by Mr.. George ]. Seuf-
ferle. Involved the question whether the
lower court erred In the refusal of certain
instructions to the condemnation jury asked
on behalf OF Mr.. Seufferle.
The latter claimed that his land would
be damaged in value, either for residential
purposes or for purposes of sale when the
sewer was completed by reason of the
sewer giving forth foul and unhealthy
odors.
The appellate court holds that the In
structions given by the court fully and
completely informed the jury.
The Instructions asked for were properly
refused the court states, because they IN
volved conjecturat and speculative Ques-
tions.
Justice Dueli wrote the opinion Of the
court in the case Of Charles e. Thorn and
others against Sarah A. Thorn. which In
volved the question of domicile.
James A. Thorn died In this city June IL.
1905, and letters of administration were
granted to his mother, Sarah A. Thorn.
Justice Stafford. presiding in the Probate
Court. held that the District was Mr.
Thorns place of domicile.
Under the contention that Mr.. Thorn had
lived and acquired domicile in Westfield, N
j. some time prior to his death. the appel
lants. brothers and sister of the deceased,
claimed that the estate should be admins
tered in the New Jersey jurisdiction.
The court finds the fact to be that at the
time of his death Mr. Thorn's legal doml-
cile was In the District. and that the mother
was the proper one to administer the estate.
Mr.. Justice McComas wrote the opinion
reaffirming a former decision of the appel
late court in the case of Francis Winslow
and others against the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. The case involved the
right Of appeal from judgments In condem-
nation proceedings. from which no appeal
was expressly provided by the statute un-
der which proceedings were held.
The right of appeal is sustained. the
court holding that it comes within its gen.
eral jurisdiction to entertain appeals in
such cases.
= On the merits of the case the court holds
that the railroad company. not needing the
additional land for its use. was not COM
PEELED to acquire 1t by condemnation.
The opinion of the court In the case of
Katherine Kehan against the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was writ
ten by Mr.. Justice McComas concur
rent opinion was filed by Chief Justice
Shepard and Justice Duel. in which they
agree to the reversal of the Judgment of
the lower court, but on slightly different
grounds. The question involved the adj
instability of certain evidence.

Revision.
CALCULATIONS NOT COMPLETED
Details Regarding Children Not At

Maj. Sylvester announced from police
headquarters this afternoon the result Of

part of May. The complete returns, as

the population of the District In the year
since the census was taken before Is 1912.
These figures are in the same ratio of in
crease was manifested in previous years
by the census of the police. and it would
indicate that the work has been done
accurately.

vary little from these figures, will be an
nounced later.
Conscientious Work.
The police have worked intelIigently
and earnestly. 1t is stated to make an in
disputable report. and the labor has been
by no means small In the face of many
other calls for attention and duty the de-
partment has worked against big Odds
and the major and superintendent's daily
and nightly demands at headquarters
have been increased by this important
service. which. under orders from the
commissioners, must be taken annually.
The remaining figures are being tabulated

RApIsT LANDED AT NORFOLK.
Stirring Time Of Troops to Prevent
Lynching.

NORFOLK. Va, June 13. - The negro.
William Lee. charged with criminal assault
on Mrs. Robert Barnes ard her cousin, Miss
Frances Powell OF Kingston. Somerset
county. Md. was brought safely to Norfolk
this morning by the Norfolk and Ports
mouth troops, who were hurried to East
Vile. Va, yesterday afternoon by order OF
Gov. Swanson. to protect the prisoner In the
Eastviue jail and prevent his being lynched
by the angry Marylanders who had come
down the peninsula from the scene of the
crime just across the Virginia border. dur
ing yesterday.
Lee, upon being landed here this morning.
was committed at once to the Norfolk city
JAIL where he admitted to an Associated
Press representative that he had made a
confession this morning to Deputy Sheriff
Charles Landlord of Northampton county,
Va, who was the only civilian official to
accompany the prisoner from Eastyille
across the bay to Norfolk
In this confession to Landlord the negro
admitted the assault on Mrs. Barnes. and
also admitted making an unsuccessful at
tempt to assault Miss Powell. Deputy SheT-
if Landlord stated to Captain of Police
Dalton of Norfolk that he had the negro s
confession in writing signed by the pris-
oner.
Lee said he was not from Portsmouth,
Va, but that his home was in York county.
Va He said he had been in Norfolk before,
but declined to make any further statement
for publication.
The question as to the time and manner
of the prisoners delivery to the Maryland
authorities Is yet to be determined. A long
distance telephone message to the Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch from the office of Gov.
Swanson at Richmond says that the follow
ing message has been sent:
Richmond. Va, June Is. 1908-Edwin
Warfield, governor. Annapolis, Md: The
negro, Lee. arrested in this state for crimi-
nal assault, committed In your state, is held
in the Norfolk Jail subject to your order.
and l will be glad to hear your wishes in
the matter. (Signed) Claude A Swanson.
governor"
But for the prompt action of Gov. Swan
son in calling out the militia and the timely
arrival OF the troops in Eastville just be-
fore dark last night, the negro, Lee, would
almost certainly have been lynched at the
hands of the armed Maryland farmers who
were on the scene. Their intention. spe-
cial to the Ledger-Dispatch from Eastville
says. was not to lynch the negro on Vir-
ginia soil. but to take him by force. II nee
essary, and carry him across the Maryland
border into Somerset county, Md, and there
lynch him. The Marylanders have returned
from Eastviie to their homes in Somerset
and the excitement in Eastville has largely
subsidized. The excitement in Somerset,
however. Is still great.
Immediately upon the delivery Of the pris-
oner at the Norfolk Jail the militia was
disbanded. The state will pay them for two
days service. There were 1855 officers and
men.

COLLEGE ROWING.
Victory Of Cornell Demonstrates
Courtney's Style of Rowing.

Victory Of Cornell Demonstrates
Courtney's Style Of Rowing.
The victory of Cornell in the eight
cared varsity shell race at Pough-
keepsie on Saturday establishes once
more her supremacy on the water and
emphasizes the superiority of the
particular style of rowing which
Charles E. Courtney teaches. Cornell
has won five of the last six races
rowed on the Hudson river, not be-
cause her men are better or stronger
physically, but because their style
is more finished and they are taught
how to get the most power in the
stroke for the least amount of ex-
hausting energy. 1t was another
triumph for the Courtney school and
the Courtney methods, which place the
art of rowing above mere Drawn and
muscle. The Cornell oarsmen were a
sturdy lot and trained to the minute,
but the forty other young athletes
which took part in that long gruelling
race were quite their equals in the
matter of build and size and strength
and courage. On looks alone some of
the other crews appeared even strong
err and huskier, but it awaited Moth
ing when the test came. The Cornell
crew pulled down over the four miles
without catch or break, and the
workmanship was pleasure to
watch. Syracuse seemed to threaten
danger from time to time, but to the
>practised eye the short, jurky spurts
OF the Salt City oarsmen meant no
trouble for the long, sweeping stroke
of the Ithacans. Barring accident, the
Cornell eight had the race safely won
from the first half mile, as the men
were never called on to give OF their
reserve force. The high pressure UNI
der which the Syracuse men rowed en-
comprised their defeat and even lost
them second place to one of the best
crews Ellis Ward has turned out for
Pennsylvania in the last eight years.
Columbia, as usual, was far astern,
and perhaps the least said about the
crew the better, as hope ran high only
to be dashed once more. The men
worked hard and gave of their best,
but that best could not cope with
their rivals. AS Cornell defeated
Harvard decisively, her position in the
college Aquatic world cannot be
questioned.
