ESTATE OF TEMPLE.
Subdivision in Anacostia Promises
Important Results.

a transaction of great Importance to Ana
costa took place several weeks ago when
MT. Floyd e. Davis purchased about five
acres of ground in the heart of that suburb.
The ground lies at the head of Nichols ave-
nue. and is a part of the Estate of Tenn
ple," which was devised to the Westminster
College of Salt Lake City, Utah. 1t ex-
tends from Nichols avenue to the river.
Mr.. Davis has subdivided the part on
Nichols avenue and Shannon place into
sixty-nine building lots, dedicating part
of the ground for a new street, which he
has called Chicago street. The subdivision
Is regarded as an excellent one, plenty of
alley space being allowed for the lots.
This transaction, in the estimation of the
residents taken in connection with the re-
cent purchase of the Sterling Steel Com
pany of Pittsburg. means much for the
future of Anacostia.
Mr.. Davis subdivision allows lots in all
sizes and opens up a way for the small
wage Garner TO become a property holder in
this locality 1t is the object of Mr.. Davis
TO put these lots on the market In the near
future at such prices that will insure the
quick building up Of the subdivided part
II is his Intention. also, to open up the ball
ailce OF this ground as soon as practicable.
This purchase and improvement, the re-
clamation of the Anacostia fats, the build
ing of the new bridge and coming of the
Sterling Steel Company to this locality will.
1t is believed, improve land values and
make Anacostia popular suburb. 1t Is
destined to be a thrifty and populous sec
ton of Anacostia and will rival the other
suburbs in this part of the District.

WORK OF A MISCREANT
NO QUESTION OVER DERAIL-
MENT OF EXPRESS TRAIN.

ST. ALRANS, VT, January 27.-The
theory held by the Central Vermont rail-
road authorities that the derailment of
the New England states limited express
from Boston for Montreal at Bolton last
night was the result of deliberate at
tempt to wreck the train further
strengthened by today's examination.
w. f. Mullens, superintendent of trans
portation on the Central Vermont rail-
road. today issued a statement declaring
that there appears to be no question but
that the mishap was the work OF some
miscreant.
The statement says that Immediately
after the accident an examination de-
veloped the fact that the switch lamp had
been removed from the socket and turn
ed down and fastened by a wire so that
1t showed the main line position, while
the switch was set for the siding.
The switch lock was found on the
ground short distance from the switch.
man who resides near the scene told
Mr.. Mullens that he heard some one run
ming from the place as the train ap-
preached.
The train was running at a speed of
fifty miles an hour at the time OF the ac-
cident, but luckily none of those on board
was injured.

|ON TRIAL FOR HAl|nG
Midshipman MeIvin's Hearing Is
Continued
AT ANNAPOLIS, ND, TODAY
His Counsel Raised Question Of Juris-
diction.
LIEUT.. GRAHAM's PLEA IN BAR
Claimed Act Of 1874 Has Been su-
persedsd by One Of 1905
&. Court Adjourned.
LIEUT.. GRAHAM'S PLEA In BAR

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. January 27.-The trial
Of Midshipman George II. Melvin Of Gene
SEQ. ILL.,. member Of the third class. on six
allegations Of hazing, was continued this
morning. Lieut. 8. v. Graham. U. 8. M. IL
acting as his counsel. The offenses charged
against Melvin are the requirement. OF con-
tfnued physical exercises from the fourth
classmen and the use of abusive language
toward one of them.
The court examined the charges and spec
fficatlons and announced that they had been
found in due form and technically correct.
Melvin was arraigned and his counsel.
Lieut. 8. v. Graham, submitted plea In
bar which raised the question of the Juris-
diction Of the court
Lieut.. Graham urged that the act OF 1874
had been superseded by the act of 1908 and
that proceedings under the former were
void He claimed that under the present
procedure the superintendent Of the acad-
envy was both accuser and final judge OF
an accused. He further claimed the act,
passed March 2. 1895. had relieved this con-
dition by providing for the appointment Of
q eourt-martial to try midshipmen by the
Secretary of the Navy.
Court Adjourned to Look Up Matter.
Judge Advocate Harrison stated that he
was not prepared to contest the plea Of the
defense at this time. and asked the court to
adjourn until Monday morning. Counsel for
the defense then notified the Judge advocate
that further plea in bar would be filed II
the court overruled the first one He stated
that the plea would raise the question of
whethe ror not the failure of the superin-
tendent of the Naval Academy to make a
definition of hazing would leave the court
without an authoritative direction as to the
meaning of the term.
The court adjourned until 10 o'clock Mon
day morning.
The act to which reference was made as
having superseded the act Of 1874 is chapter
146 of the act Of 1895, approved March 2 Of
that year. 1t provides that the Secretary
of the Navy shall appoint court-martial
for the trial Of cadets for any ofrense. Coun-
sci for Melvin claim that the exclusive rem-
edy was by this method, and that the acts
Of the present court are void, as 1t was de-
tailed by the superintendent Of the Naval
Academy.
In support of this contention 1t is urged
that 1t Is repugnant to general principles of
law to have the accusing and reviewing au-
thority vested in the same person, as Is now
done.
