GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The dredging of the seven-foot channel
through the flats on the District side the
river opposite Alexandria by John Miller 3
dredging machine has been completed and
the machine sent to the Eastern branch
for work there. The channel was dug for
the purpose of affording safe way for the
sand and gravel carrying scows of the
John Miller Company to go in and out from
Goose Egg Island. where sand will be dug
for building purposes here. In digging the
channel the machine cut the mud from
the bottom OF the river. but instead of
cartiug it away 1t was thrown up on the
south side the cut making a long narrow
Island showing well above the surface OF
the water. This channel is the first open

TON OF POWER STATION.
Objections Backed by Residents II
Vicinity Of Harvard Street-Elee-
trio Company Defendant.

Legal steps were taken by residents in the

on Harvard street between 18th street and
Sherman avenue northwest, today to pre-
vent the erection of the plant, by the filing
of a suit in the District Supreme Court. In

enjoined from granting a permit to the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company for the con-
StructiOn.
In the bill of complaint filed today the
plaintiffs set forth the efforts which they
and other property holders In the square

station have made to prohibit the granting
of permit for the erection OF the power
station. 1t is stated that the lot in question

for the power station, and after the hearing

THE 1nrEtL1eENr JUROR.

George w. Guernsey Of New York is
entitled to any consolation he may
find in the thought that he is too
brainy to make an ideal juryman. He
discovered that fact by rather en-
barrsssing experience in New York
court room, where he was serving as
a Juror in the trial Of Mrs. Annie
Louise de Massey, charged with the
murder Of Gustav Simon. There was
some conflicting testimony in the case
about the location Of a certain stair
way in the building in which the MUIR
der was committed. Architects had
their drawings and no two of them
agreed, while witnesses were all tan
gled up as to the twists and turns OF
stairs. Guernsey conceived an idea
that he would ascertain tho facts for
himself. so he visited the scene OF the
shooting, after the Jury had been dis
charged for the day. and examined II
and its surroundings with his own
eyes. When the case was resumed the
next morning Juror Guernsey began
/ asking a witness Questions, shocked
the court and surprised the bar by ad.
hitting the fact of his visit and his
Investigations.
The judge Of the court promptly and
emphatieally rebuked Guernsey for his
fragrant indiscretion and told him thai
by rights he should be thrown into jai
for contempt. Nothing was offered tc
show that Guernsey's knowledge could
be construed in any way to the detri
ment of either the prosecution OF the
defendant, but he learned lesson, and
will hereafter know that rules, forms
and presidents in trials must be OBJ
served and that It is a violation Of Gus
tom, II not OF law, for a juror to d.
thinking part.

IN MEMoRY oR MoLELLAM

The unveiling OF a monument TO
General George B. Mcclellan was the
chief feature of the reunion of the
Army of the Potomac at Washington,
and the address OF President Roose-
welt in which be bestowed generous
praise upon the general as one of the
great commanders OF the civil war, is
certain to revive q discussion that ran
rife for years as to McClellan's place
in military history.
The case presents a peculiar study
in conflicts. Many survivors of the
Army of the Potomac and other vet
Grams who served in the campaign In
the east almost idoliEe Mcclellan, while
the men who fought with Grant at
vicksburg and Shiloh or marched with
sherman TO the sea almost universally
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1907-05-04

write Mcclellan down az failure and
a "feather-bed soldier" Historians
have reviewed his career at great
length; generals who served through
the civil war have discussed his
methods and his opportunities, and
military experts have considered his
work from a purely theoretical stand
point, and the consensus of their opin-
ion Is that Mcclellan was not a great
soldier. Yet his soldiers worshiped
him and have held his memory in a
favor that no criticism or argument
has been able to lessen.
All critics agree that Mcclellan was
a master of organization and per
formed marvels in bringing thor
oughly drilled and effective fighting
force out of the raw material Of re-
cruits, but they contend that he lacked
initiative in action, underestimate his
own strength and exaggerated that of
the enemy and lost golden opportunity
by failure to adopt an aggressive
forward campaign. How much of this
was McClellan's own fault and how
much Of it due to lack Of encouraging
support from higher authorities is still
a mooted question and one that will
probably never be settled satisfactorily,
But his men loved him; that is war
rant sufficient for the monument.
