Removed to Hospital.
A few minutes after the screams of the
woman had attracted attention a stretchel
was procured and the injured man was re-
moved to the Luna Park emergency hos
pital. where he was attended by DR.. Alva
8. Hudson, the hospital physician. From
the character of the wounds and their
dangerous loca ton it was at first thought
the man had been fatally injured, but an
examination showed that no vital part had
been touched. 1t was discovered, however
that the bullet which found lodgment In the
neck had passed very close to the 1uguiaI
vein and other large vessels in that ana
tomical region, which, II severed, would
have caused almost immediate death. AS
1t was several smaller vessels were rup-
tured, from which dangerously large
quantity Of blood had flowed before the
hospital was reached.

young woman. detained as witness, was
questioned At length by Mr.. Gill. AS soon
obtained the informa tor was telephoned to
the police departments In Alexandria and
Washington with REQUESTS to arrest any
person whose appearance and actions might
lead to the suspicion that he had commit
ted the ASA uit.
Before IL O'clock Officer Lyles of the
Alexandria police force reached the park
and conducted the young woman to the
station house at Alexandria, where she
was detained In witness room over night.
Mr.. Spencer Forrest, at whose home, as
above stated. Miss Bywaters was visiting,
also went out to the park to look after the
interest of the young woman. To Star
reporter Mr.. Forrest stated. after a talk

motive of the assault He said he was as
much at sea. also, with reference to the
person who did the shooting.

Miss Bywaters. Mr.. Forrest added, had
come to his home last Saturday for short
visit He said he was aware that long
friendship existed between the young wom-

last evening. He thought it likely that
there was no one else at the resort that
evening who knew Miss Bywaters.
When questioned by Lieut.. Smith at po-
lice headquarters in Alexandria Miss By
waters related the story of the assault in
practically the same language she had
used at the park. Her examination gave
absolutely no clue to the description or the
identity of the guilty person. The condf-
ton of the young woman was made as
comfortable as possible while under deten-
ton at the station house She received
medical attention and the painful wounds
on her neck and shoulders were dressed.
These wounds it is believed. were caused
by burning powder, which indicated that
the man who fired the weapon was close
to her.

SEED FOUND ADULTERATED.
Names Of Offending Firms Made
Known by Secretary Wilson.


In accordance with the law demanding
that he buy seed in the open market and
publish the names and addresses of firms
found to be adulterating it, the Secretary of
Agriculture has issued another blacklist
with the names and addresses of ten deal
ers The seed samples were found to run
from seven per cent to fifty-three per cent
in adulterants, mostly in yellow trefoil and
bur clover.
Three hundred and fifty-two samples of
seed of alfalfa were obtained in the open
market and examined. OF these, 100, or
nearly one-half Of the samples were found
to contain seed Of the destructive parasitic
plant dodder; nine samples were found to
be adulterated with seed of yellow trefoil
and nine samples adulterated with bur
clover.
Yellow trefoil is not used to any extent as
forage plant in the United States, but the
seed is imported from Europe at about five
cents per pound for use as an adulterant
of red clover and alfalfa seed. Although
bur clover is cultivated in the gulf states,
the seed found mixed with that of alfalfa
is not the commercial bur clover seed Of
this country, but by-product secured in
cleaning South American wool, and Is Inn
ported from Germany in iow-grade alfalfa
seed.

Opinion in the AIabama-lII Illinois
Collision.
COURT OF INoUIRY's VIEW
Proceedings Against Capt. Comfy and
and Lieut.. Pressey Favored.
CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENCE
Failed to Take Proper Steps to Prevent
the Mishap That occurred-No
Action Yet Taken.
COURT OF INoUIRY's VIEW
CHARGED WITH NEGLIGENCE

Secretary Bonaparte today made public
the text of the opinion of the court Of in
quiry into the collision of the u. s. s. Ala
bama and the U. s. s. Illinois, July p,
1906 as follows:
Their proceedings should be had against
Capt. Herbert Winslow, U. S. N, COM
manding the U. S. s. Kearsarge, the third
ship in the column, and which was some
what abruptly slowed down ahead of the
Alabama. for the reason that Capt. Win
slow was necessarily absent from the
bridge at the time the Alabama came into
view astern, and he was, therefore not re-
sponsible for the handling of the ship.
e. In the opinion of the court the U. s..
S. Kearsarge was very badly handled by
the officer of the deck, who made very
abrupt changes in the speed of her en-
gines and allowed her to drop far astern of
her proper position in column. On account
of the inexperience of this officer Mid
shipman Roy c. Smith. u S. N. the court
is of opinion that he should not be brought
to trial by general court-martfal, but rec
ommends that he be reprimanded by the
commander-in-chief.
''3. In the opinion of the court no further
proceedings should be had against Capt
Godfried Blocklinger, U. s. N, command
ing the u. S. s. Illinois, or any other Off
Ger or man on board the Illinois. The ILL
nois at the time of the collision with the
Alabama was in her proper position in col
umn and was proceeding at the proper
speed of twelve knots and on the prescribed
course When the Alabama appeared I'M
expectedy on her starboard bow and was
evidently crossing her track, she was han
died with remarkably good judgment and
skill.

Lieut.. Pressey's Case.

Lieut.. Pressey's Case.
~. In the opinion of the court, fur
ther proceedings should be had against
Lieut.. Alfred w. Pressey, United States
navy. and that officer should be tried by
general court-martial for the following spe-
cific acts: Namely, through negligence suf-
fering vessel of the navy to be hazarded,
in that the said Lieut.. Alfred W. Presley,
United States navy, attached to and serv-
bama, being on duty officer of the deck
of the said flagship at or about eight hours
and seventeen minutes ante-meridian, of
the 31st day of July, 1906, the said Ala
bama being the fifth ship in column in the
first squadron of the United States Atlantic
fleet, which said squadron was cruising at
a standard speed of twelve knots in column
formation at distance approaching in a
dense fog the entrance to the harbor of
Newport, r. l., did, when he sighted
through the said fog the third ship in the
said column ahead and little on the star
board bow of the said Alabama, allow the
said Alabama to turn about three points to
port and to nearly lose Roadway by failing
to properly handle the engines and helm;
and did. moreover. allow the said Alabama
to remain almost at a standstill In the
track of the United States battleship Illi-,
nois, the sixth vessel in the said formation,
and did fail to ease the helm and start the
engines of the said Alabama ahead as soon
as the bow of the said Alabama had well
cleared the quarter of the said Kearsarge,
or to otherwise properly maneuver the helm
and engines of the said Alabama, although
he, the said Lieut.. Pressey well knew that
the said Illinois was approaching from
astern at speed Of twelve knots and that
the said Alabama was in imminent danger
of being rammed by the said Illinois, in
consequence of which neglect and failure
on the part of the said Lieut.. Pressey the
said Illinois which was advancing in her
proper position in column at the standard
speed aforesaid and on the proper course,
did come into collision with the said Ala
bama at or about eight hours and twenty
minutes ante-meridian of the date afore-
said, both of which two last named vessels
were then and there injured and were
hazarded.
Capt. Comly's Neglect.

Forty Years in Harness,


The long expected fortieth an
niversary edition of the Anoka
Union has arrived and so far ex.
ceeds expectations that it is i'm
possible to do it justice in mere
paragraph. It is a remarkable
issue.
Granville S. Pease, who
scowls good naturedly at the
reader from the front cover, is
the man who has made the edition
possible. Since 1866, but year
after the close of the war, he
has been editor and publisher of
the same old Union in the same
old Anoka. The name of the
town has become a sort of good
humored butt for jokers, so that
when one says, Anoka, Mime
sofa, it creates a smile; but
"Dad" Pease, or "Granny" as he
is better known, has never been
a butt. He has been a virlle
force in Minnesota journalism
since the day he first took up the
pen-now, alas, abandoned in all
we'll regulated Offices for the
typewriter. His editorials have
been copied and commented on
by every paper in the state for
forty years, and his influence in
politics and in the upbuilding Of
the state has been great. |
Not only this, but his influence
on other editors has been
marked. "Dad'' is great be-
lever IN the "short paragraph
poke" and it has been said that
he refuses to write an editorial
more than two lines long. This,
of course, is an exaggeration,
but many a young writer, a little
dou btful and inclined to the
weighty and stiresome column
editorial, has taken a helpful hint
from the editorial page of the
Union.
Here's to "Granny" Pease;
may he live long and prosper.
