ORDERS TO POLICE.
Must Enforce Regulations Relating
to Automobiles.

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent Of police.
Is determined that the members of his
command shall enforce the regulations re-
lating to horseless vehicles. There are
other matters to which the members of the
bicycle squad are to attend, and a general
order issued to the captains was sent to the
stations this afternoon. The order reads:
THE major and superintendent calls at
tention to the indifference on the part of a
great many of the bicycle men to the regu-
lations governing automobiles and other
matters along the streets. Signs and fur
niture are near the curbing in many places
in violation of the regulations and there
are great many improperly lighted motor
vehicles and bicycles operated on the
streets.
You will instruct the bicycle officers to
see that the lights on motor vehicles are
in accord with the regulations and that
they are so arranged as to throw white
light on the numbers on the rear that they
may be plainly observed; also that bicycles
after dark are properly provided with
lights. The apparent indifference must be
corrected.
This order is given in the nature of a
warning

PRIVATE GRAFTON FREED.
Cannot Be Tried After Having Once
Been Acquitted.

Homer Grafton, the private. who shot
two Filpinos. he declared. in self-de-
Tense. and was acquitted by court-mar-
tial, but afterward convicted by a civil
court and sentenced to twelve years i'm
prisonment. will be freed. according to a
decision just rendered by the United
States Supreme Court. Justice Harlan an
nounced the decision. in which he said:
The express prohibition of double
jeopardy for the same offense means that
whenever such prohibition is applicable,
either by operation of the Constitution or
by action of Congress. no person shall
be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb
for the same offense. Consequently a
court proceeding under the authority of
the United States cannot withhold from
an officer or soldier of the army the full
benefit of that guaranty. after he has
been once tried in military court of
competent jurisdiction. Congress. by eX-
press constitutional provision. has the
ment and regulation of the army, but
those rules must be interpreted in con-
nection with the prohibition against
mans being put twice in jeopardy for
the same offense. The former provision
must not be so interpreted as to nullify
the latter. If. therefore. a person be tried
for an offense in tribunal deriving its
jurisdiction and authority from the
United States and is acquitted or con-
victed he cannot again be tried for the
same offense in another tribunal deriving
its Jurisdiction and authority from the
United States.

BE ON TO YOUR JOB
RAILWAY SURGEON
ADDRESSES HIS COLLEAGUES.

Send for the Surgeon was the sugges-
tive title of an address at the morning ses-
sion today of the twelfth annual meeting.
Association of Surgeons of the Southern
Railway, in the red parlor of the New Will
lard. 1t was delivered by Col. w. A. Hen
derson. chief solicitor of the railroad. At
times during the address the chief solicitor
caused bubbles of laughter by his humorous
remarks, but always ended up with point
to aid the surgeon in making himself more
valuable to the railroad
Beware of the man or woman he said,
who after accident says. i am not hurt
at all Take particular pains in these in
stances to see that no injuries have been
sustained.
He also called attention to one attempt to
claim damages against the railroad, though
it was stated no injuries had been received
In this instance according to the speaker,
an old Georgian planter. with ant-railroad
tendencies. was driving along road run
ming parallel with the railroad bed. He saw
the train coming and whipped up his horses
in an effort to reach the crossing before
the train arrived al the same point
His vehicle had crossed the track with
the exception of the rear wheels when the
COW catcher of the engine threw him some
distance onto the soft earth. In a moment
he had gathered himself together and when
the anxious tranmen arrived at his side
and asked him if he were injured according
to the speaker, the reply was: you'll have
to wait until l step up town and see my
lawyer. Look out Tor that kind of
fellow" said Col. Henderson.
At the session yesterday afternoon the
report of the committee on eye and ear
tests was submitted and. if put in opera

PLAN GIVEN UP,
Conversion of Cruiser Into a Mining
Ship Too Expensive.

The Navy Department has been obliged
to abandon its plan to transform the
cruiser San Francisco into a mneship be-
cause the change will involve the expendi-
ture Of more than 100000 and consequently
would require a congressional appropria-
ton The San Francisco is now at Norfolk,
where the work was to have been under
taken. The plan was to equip this ship
with a plant capable of handling rapidly
and with reasonable safety what are known
floating and submerged mines, such as
were used with great effect during the Rus
so-JapaneSe war. A properly equipped
mineship can place these elements of coast
defense in any ordinary harbor in sufficient
numbers to insure protection in a course Of
day two. whereas many days and even
weeks would be consumed by an ordinary
vessel in the accomplishment of the same
amount of work.
The conversion of the cruiser Baltimore,
now at New York, into a mineship Is also
temporarily suspended for similar reasons.

Office. Ambassador Creel's position briefly
stated is this: He regards his mission to
Washington as of the first order of i'm
portance, particularly at present, when 50
many momcntous questions touching the
future relations of Mexico with the United
States and the states of Central America
are at stake. Therefore he is willing to
forego the exercise of his gubernatoriai
functions at the pleasure of President Diaz
and remain in Washington as long as he
may he needed here. Certainly he will
not resign as ambassador until told to do
So The rumor that he intended to adopt
that course was merely an incident in the
campaign in Chihuahua, his friends desir-
ing his presence there and suggesting
resignation. while his erstwhile political OPP
ponents were seeking to make a point
against him by Directing TO his holding two
offices simultaneously.

STARTLING CHARGES MADE
SHIP CAPTAIN ACCUSED OF PLOT
TING TO SCUTTLE VESSEL.
Allegations Of an American Sailor
Abandoned in Port in the
British West Indies.

A startling charge of barratry, involving
the deliberate scuttlng of a steamship, has
been made as incident to the investiga-
ton by the State Department of the ac-
ton of William Peter, United States con-
sular agent at st. Lucia, British West In
dies, in Withholding assistance from c. J..
Hamilton, an American sailor, who claimed
to have been abandoned in that port by the
captain of the Argentine ship Jose Pedro.
Hamilton appeared in person at the de-
partment, having walked over to Wash
ington from Baltimore, lacking money to
pay his railway fare. In brief, he stated
that after leaving Jacksonville, Fla, from
which port the ship sailed for Buenos
Ayres, the captain proposed to him to all
in scutting the ship.
He refused and joined the crew in de-
handing that the vessel be taken into
st. Lucia being unseaworthy. A survey
board there confirmed the mems complaint
and some repairs were forced upon the
captain before he was allowed to take
the ship out of port. When he did sail
away he abandoned the old crew and, took
aboard some natives instead. Hamilton
told the State Department officials that
soon afterward he learned that the Jose
Pedro had been lost at sea.
AS the ship was under Argentine register,
the State Department did not feel called
on to investigate the case but it is pre-
sumed that the Argentine government Will
take notice of the matter.
Hamilton's complaint against the con-
Sular agent was because of his alleged re-
fusal in the first case to assist him to re-
turn to the United States, though he even
tualy aided him in getting home. Inc
State Department has instructed the con-
sui at Barbados, Arthur j. Glare, whose
district includes St. Lucia to investigate

"Tco Small for Senate" Says j. Whit

EASTON. Pa. May 81. Whit Wood OF
Easton. candidate for delegate to the re-
publican state convention, in public state
ment yesterday announced his opposition to
the return of Senator Penrose and the sys-
tenn of politics which he represents. Among
other things, he says:
Il am opposed to Senator Penrose's meth
DDS. He is too small a man to represent
our state in the United States Senate. He
should be retired to private life. If 1 am
elected a delegate l will not vote one drop
of water to Senator Penrose's political
water wheel. l will not vote for his candi-
date for state treasurer. and thereby aid
in covering and quieting the inquiry into
the ways of the capitol CRATER. That build
ing stands as monument to the dishonesty
of Pennsylvanans. 1t can only be cleaned
by the Imprisonment of those guilty. A
state treasurer Independent of Senator Pen

to be elected
Mr.. Wood has always been a strong re-
publican. and his letter has caused a SEN
sation in political circles.
