A Warming.

The congregations In some OF the
churches 10 this city we're annoyed last
nigh, by boys who passed In front OF the
edifices and made unnecessary noises.
The weather being warm, the doors Of
the places OF worship we're open, and the
unseemly conduct of the youngsters In
some cases disturbed the worshippers.
This Ia often done during the summer,
and parents who allow their children to
strsy sbout the streets at night should
see that they behave themselves, espec-
tally in front of churches. The penalty
for disturbing worship (under the State
,sw) Is severe, and attendants at the
churches are not DESTROYS o. seeing 1t
enfoNsd. The policeman in a ward
cannot be all places at one time, and
Il is incumbent upon parents to take a
hand in suppressing dIserdeIly conduct
on the part Of their children before they
are called upon TO pay fines for them.

Politicians are Analysing the vote
which was cast al the Msrtin-Montague
primary, in August 1905, but it is gen
orally conceded that the vote at The
coming primary will somewhat exceed
that. The vote case in the senatorial
primary was as follows: ioudoun coun-
ty, 1925; Fsuquier, 1852; Alexandria
city, l,0l0; Fairfax, 967; CnlPeper,

Orange, 63l; Stafford, 28s; King
George, 235, aud Alexandria county,
26l,--total 1887. II will be seen thai
should the vote be about equally divided
the candidate receiving even less than
800 would secure the nomination.

WILL DECIDE FATE
OF KOREAN RULER
Emperor in Conference To-
day With Marquis Ito OF
Japan.--May Flee
BY THE JOURNALS Special wire.

SEOUL, Korea, July 1S.-The En-
peror Of Korea is TO see Marquis Ito.
Of Japan TODAY. Their conference will
probably decide the Korean rulers
rate.
With foreign Minister Hayashi Of
Japan, hurrying to Seoul, bearing an
ultimatum TO the Mikado there seems
no doubt that today's meeting between
Ito and the emperor was arranged by
the latter to forestall the Japanese en-
perors message. The impression is
that the monarch will defy the Japan
ese and when pressure is brought TO
bear by the latter, appeal TO Europe
and America for aid. He viii prob
ably represent that the japanese have
broken faith and that the powers are
therefore no longer bound. by the
Portsmouth treaty.
Yesterdays report that the emperor
had attempted 10 seek refuge in one
Of the foreign consulates seems un-
founded, but there seems to be good
reason that his friends are planning
flight for him from the palace The
Korean guards about the emperor S
quarter have been Withdrawn by order
of the japanese military authorities
and Japanese police substituted for
them. II is said the emperor has
plainly said he considers his life in

THINKS He HAS
SWALLOWED A SWORD
By THE JoURNAL's Special wire.

NEW YORK. July 1s.-His mind
filled with delusion and his stomach
with hardware. A. C. Pierce. a sword
swallower sought relief in Bellevue
Hospital to-day.
Pelrce's trick is to palm the junk he
pretends to pass down his esophagus,
but now and then there is a slip and a
piece OF bric-a-brac slides into his
stomach. When the accumulation be-
gins to weigh him down uncomfort-
ably, Pierce visits a hospital and
cleans house. Dr. Healey, OF Bellevue,
remembers assisting at such a renova-
tion when he was IN Montreal several
years ago.
The .swallower's" present complaint
is rather more than usually startling.
He believes he has engulfed a cav
Ialry saber, and the physicians rather
think sane man wouldn't get such
a queer idea.
When the doctors are through with
their investigation the surgeons will
make an X-ray of his stomach TO see
II enough trumpery is piled up inside
as to make an operation worth while.

TELEPHONE COMPANIES
MUST WORK TOGETHER

HELENA, Mon, July 1s.-Judge w.
II. Hunt has rendered a decision OF
far reaching importance to telephone
users in the United States Court. He
held that one company could not with
hold the use Of its lines from another
even though it be competing.
|. The Montana and wyoming and the
Mutual Telephone companies applied
TO the court for an order compelling
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company TO furnish connections when
desired at reasonable compensation.
This was resisted on the ground that
the lines were built for its patrons and
not for those of competing companies.
Extended arguments We're made last
week. Judge Hunt found for the com
plainants, and stated that within a few
days he would name commission to
fix the division Of charges when such
use is made of connecting lines
