ACCUSED OF DISCOURTESY
CALLER CHARGES ILL TREAT
MENT BY GEN. AINSWORTH.
Claimed he Refused to Give Informa-
ton Contrary to Authority OF
Assistant Secretary oliver.

Military circles are somewhat stirred up
over a report that Gen. Ainsworth, adjutant
general has been formally charged with
discourtesy toward a citizen of the District
who called on him on legitimate business
few days ago, and has been called upon by
the Secretary of War for an explanation
of his conduct. AS is usual in such cases
1t is difficult to set the Ietai of the al
fair, especially as the principals decline to
talk for publication, but enough is known
to show that there |aJ serious misunder-
standing between the adjutant general and
his visitor which resulted in the latter
making formal complaint to Secretary Taft.
From the general gossip In circulation 1t
appears that the civilian In question, who
is weil-known to department officials, OBJ
tanned authority from Gen. Oliver, assistant
secretary of war. to get certain informa ton
regarding recent order to the army from
the adjutant generals office. and applied
in person to Gen. Ainsworth for 1t. Ihe
latter said the other could not have the IN
forma ton, and persisted in his refusal even
when informed that the assistant secretary
had authorized the visitor to get. 1t.
somewhat heated colloquy ensued, in which
uncomplimentary remarks were made on
both Sides and ended by Gen. AinsWorth
ordering the visitor out of his office:
The latter said he would submit the mat
ter to Secretary Taft. and Immediately
put his words into erect Wnen ne Ddu
related the circumstances to Secretary Taft
the latter tod him to put his complaint In
writing and he would refer it to Gen. Aims
worth for an explanation. That course was
followed just before Secretary Taft went
away on his vacation. Since then, it is
understood Gen. Ainsworth has prepared
written statement in justification Of his
treatment of the complainant. This state
ment will be forwarded to Secretary Taft
at Murray Bay. 1t is said, as Gen. Oliver.
who is now acting secretary of war, does
not care to interfere in a case already con-
sidered by Secretary Taft.

What is considered as one of the most
successful and picturesque fire engine tests
ever made in this city was made by this
local fire department yesterday morning at
the corner of 7th street and Louisiana ave-
nue. northwest by four of the Districts
finest and largest steam fire engines. The
test was conducted under the personal su-
pervision of Fire Chief Belt, and witnessed
by several hundred persons who happened
in the neighborhood at the time or who
read the advance notices of the test. The
test was given chiefly in anticipation OF
the big exposition which will be given for
the benefit of the members of the 1nterna-
tonal Association of Fire Engineers at
their convention to be held in this city in
October.
Three of the four engines used were ex-
ira first-sized Metropolitan engines, and
the other a second-size Metropolitan. Tne
capacity of the first-sized engines is 1,15o
gallons per minute and the capacity of the
second is 900 gallons. Chief Belt stated to-
day that another object of the test was to
determine whether not the water pres
sure at the point mentioned is suftlcient to
supply four or more engines.
The cstern at 7th street and Louisiana
avenue is fed by six and four inch pipe,
which are connected to the street main.
Statements of the water pressure were taken
from three fire hydrants during the time OF
the test and each one showed pressure OF
fifty pounds The six and four inch feed
pipes were opened full during the time of
the test and the water in the cistern was
lowered to about eight inches below the top.
The estimated quantity of water thrown
was 1850 gallons per minute.

Heroism manifests itself suddenly,
swiftly, and, oftentimes, in unex!pect-
ed sources. In the ~twinkling of an eye
a wait may be exalted into a world
hero. A moment of danger may trans
form a tramp into a glorifed man. On
the street car, in the theatre, IN the
shop you may rub elbows with one
who, q nobody today, may be a ia
nous somebody tomorrow. The hui
man chronicles are filed with such in
stances. The regards of the Carnegie
hero commission is crowded with tales
of the lightning-like apotheosis of the
humble.
Such an instance-such a tale-ls
that Of William Crump, who lies in a
dying state-if, indeed, he is not dead
in Philadelphia, as a result or IN
iuries received in the dynamiting by
q mysterious stranger of the Fourth
Street National bank. Crump is a ne
gro. He had the job of messenger at
the bank. He vas standing near the
cashier when the stranger raised his
hand to drop the deadly bomb that was
to blow himself and chashier into enter
nifty, injure numerous Others, and all
but wreck the building. Crump saw
the visitor lift ais arm. Like a flash
he leaped forward to catch the bomb.
"He was an instant too late,' runs
the dispatch. "The messenger is
badly torn, and If he survives his ter
rible injuries probably will be blind
Doubtless Crump realized the peril
the act Of the stranger threatened the
cashier and the others near, else why
should he have had the impulse to IN
tercept the d%ynamite2 And II ne re-
allied the danger to others, it is clear
he eomprehended the destruction he
courted in leaping forward in an effort
to catch the bomb. The instinct of
elf-preseryation might have been the
animating force that sent him for
ward to catch the bomb, if possible,
but it is more likely that that instinct
would have directed him to dodge
away. It is reasonable to suppose that
the first thoughtless impulse would be
to flee from the scene of imminent an
initiation, not to rush closer to it.
Safety lies in distance, not in proxim-
ity. That Crump hurled himself to-
ward the falling bomb instead of fee
ing from it appears to prove that in
that critical instant he rose to splen-
did heroism. The lowly negro-the OBJ
scure messenger-volunteered and eye
wink never was swifter than his res
olution must have been-to die, terri
bly, and bloodily, to save the lives
about him. he failed, but he did his
best. And because he did his best, al
though he failed, his body is mangled
and tortured and his breath has all
but left him.
This negro messenger derives the
of the yhsle white race
and the pride Of his own brethren. No
one, white or black, could have been
capable of nobler impulse than that
drove him to his deed. When
next the Carnegie Hero commission
the deeds of heroism and
its prizes the case of William
Crump, colored, should not be forgot
