After listening to the testimony of about
a score of witnesses a cOroner'S jury con-
sisting Of A B. Shepherd, J. J. Leayitt
and Amos Sebring yesterday forenoon. re-
turned the above verdict in connection
with the death of Andrew Anderson.
whose body was found by the side of the
Weber river last Sunday afternoon, with
two ugly looking wounds in the head.
The witnesses who had been confined in
tie county Jail for several days awaiting
the examination could throw no ad jitional
light on the mystery surrounding the
death of Anderson The facts brought out
were virtually the same as published in
these columns since the finding of the
body One witness, Charles Nelson. one
of the proprietors of the North Star sa-
loon. whose statement was published yes
terday, was not on hand for the inquest.
Death Caused by Booze.
The examination was conducted by
County Attorney E. T. Hulaniski. About
the only new feature brought out was a
statement from County Physician DR.. j.
S. Gordon, who gave it as his opinion that
Anderson did not die as a result of the
blows on the head. but rather from the
over indulgence of intoXicantS. 1t was
testified by J. H. Dinsdale. an employe
saw Anderson early Sunday morning he
was crazy drunk" trembling like a leaf
and frothing at the mouth. The man was
known to have been spending much of his
time for the preceding week at the sa-
looms drinking. so that his vitality must
have been quite low. 1t is argued that
the blows on the head would not have to
under ordinary conditions to have killed
Anderson in the shape he was in at the
time.
The authorities will likely drop the case.

THAT 1t can hardly with justice be called

whatever classification it falls under the
proper title would be ''rhe Motorman's
Frown." The preliminaries are these: A

of such grade of intellect as Millet repre-
sented In his drawings OF peasant nfes rs
unmoved by the dismal cisng which
echoes the plea of half hundred pas
sengers that they be not delayed in their
haste. The wagon continues I'm its STUB
born course just long anough to impress
upon motorman. passengers and spectators
the fact that the man behind the horse IS
a factor to be reckoned with Thus far the
performance Is tragedy to all. But when
the driver finally condescends 10 pull OUT
ana the car PUSHES past his team, the mo-
torman leans far over and locks daggers
at the driver. This Is the comedy.
In the course OF an ordinary trip through
the business section one sees this motor
mans frown repeated many times. And
there comes with each repetition the con-
viction Of the uselessness OF the whole
thing. The frown. while the offense is sun
of the present, is frequently of little avail.
A driver Of some timidity, seeing the r1erce
motorman's frown. might hasten the clear
ing of the tracks. But after the evil has
been removed, after the passage Is clear.
and when the driver of the offensive wagon
has his eyes turned from those OF the mo-
torman. the frown does nothing more than
amuse the passengers and add to the dis
tress of the motorman. This all brings
home the philosophy OF writer who OBJ
served that frown reflects Its own DARK
ness into the soul which lies back of the
features upon which II is painted: that
It hurts him who frowns mere than MIN

DECLINES TO APPROVE
THE CONTROLLER PASSES UPON
ALEXANDRIA COUNTY CLAIM.

Controller Tracewell of the treasury to-
day rendered a decision in which he re-
fused to approve the claim of the board
Of supervisors of Alexandria county for
$3.50 for the employment of counsel In con-
nection with the acquisition of the land
for the sDutherly approach of the new
Highway bridge across the Potomac. The
Alexandria county officials claim that the
government was saved thousands Of dollars
by the services of the. attorney who at
tended to the appraisement and condem-
nation of the land needed for the southerly
approach. t
1t is stated that i'm 1904 Col. A. NJ. Miller
who was then in charge of the engineering
work along the Potomac, called the board
of supervisors of Alexandria county III
conference for the purpose of devising the
best means for securing the land at the
lowest cost to the government 1t is said
that Colonel Miller directed the board to
take such steps as were necessary for the
appraisement and condemnation of the
land, agreeing to reimburse them for all
necessary expenses. Colonel Miller has
since died, and there is no record of this
agreement either In his reports or In the
records Of the board of supervisors.
Statement of the Case
The price paid for the land was 81, 80
per acre, but the board claims that without
the services of an attorney it would have
cost the government many times this
amount, possibly $4,000 an acre
The controller quotes from section $50
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States. which prohibits the employment of
special counsel by the heads of depart
ments, directing that a call be made upon
the Department of Justice when the serv-
ices of an attorney are needed.
One of the peculiar features of the case,
and one which the controller does not fail
to point out, Is the fact that the common
wealth attorney of Alexandria county was
the counsel in question. and he has not
put in any claim at all. It appears that
the board is asking for extra pay for an
official who rendered services for which he
receives regular salary.
The closing paragraph of the controllers
decision is as follows:
.sThe benefit the county derived seems to
support the suggestion that it undertook
the condemnation proceedings at its own
expense In consideration of the agreement
of the United States to confer the benefit. :"
He directed the Secretary of War to re-
fuse the claim. and this will be done.
