it will be impossible for him to visit
Honolulu this summer for the purpose
of inspecting Pearl Harbor. Mr.. Nc
Clellan called at the Navy Department
recently in company with Senator Flint
of California. Mr.. Metcalf said he had
hoped there would be time for such a
trip but there were 50 many other
matters, including the jamestown Ex-
position, pressing upon him that he
would not be able to visit the Pa
cifc coast during the summer but would
remain in the East.
Arrangements for the Congressional
trip to Honolulu and Hawaii are being
closed up by Mr.. Mcclellan, who ex-
poets to leave here April "a. He has

final replies. There are still invita-
tions outstanding to Representatives
Howell, of New Jersey; Boutell, of Illi-
nois; Crumpaeker, of Indiana; Under
wood, of Alabama; Stevens, of Mime
sofa, and French, of Idaho, on which

lowing have accepted: Representatives

gan; Capron, of Rhode Island; Brick,
of Indiana; Alexander, of New York;
Lilley, of Connecticut; Jones, of WASH
ington; Ellis, of Kansas; Littlefeld, of
Maine; Acheson, of Pennsylvania; Con-
ner, of Iowa, and Graft, of Illinois,
all of whom will be accompanied by
their wives and the following who will

Humphrey, of Washington; Needham,
of California; Keifer, of Ohio; Mann,
of Illinois; McLachlan, of California;
Webb, of North Carolina; McGavin, oil
Illinois, and Norris, of Nebraska. Piles,

CUT VEINS

Raymond Carbon, a butcher in thu
employ OF the Metropolitan Meat Co.
and well known around town, made O
determined attempt on his life In his
room In the Arlington Hotel yesterday
afternoon.
| He severed the veins of his wrists
with a pocket knife and then lay
| down and let his life's blood soak into
| a heap of dirty clothes.
Carlon has been drinking heavily OF
late, but a few days ago swore Off
The sudden deprivation of alcoholic
stimulants affected his mind and for
the past two or three days he has suf-
fered from the delusion that someone
was trying to burn him up.
He worked at the block yesterday
morning, but was plainly not himself.
His peculiar actions attracted the at
tention of his fellow workers in the
meat market. In the afternoon he did
not go to work.
Manager Waller, in the course of the
afternoon. heard from some of the men
in the shop of Cartons condition and
about six o'clock called at his room in
the Arlington, to find out how he was,
and determined. If necessary, to have
him properly taken care of.
He found his employe lying on the
floor behind the door, his distorted face
showing the agony he was suffering
and a determination to die.
Both wrists had been deeply slashed
and from the wounds blood was rapidly
oozing. On the floor nearby lay a
blood-stained pen-knife with a razor
edge.
I'm so sorry" said the hurt man,
feebly.
Waller left Carlon in the care of a
Japanese woman and summoned doc
tor as quickly as possible.
AS the Queens Hospital could not
receive the injured man, he was left
in the hands of DR.. H. v. Murray.
In order to guard against any ILL.,
effects from possible mental aberra-
iion. the services of Officer George
Wilson were obtained from the police
department. and he watched by Car
Ions bedside all night long in the lat
ter's room in the Arlington Hotel.
DR.. Murray said last night that Car
Ion was resting well and displaying
great vitality. He is very hopeful that
he will recover from his physical in
jury and his mental ailment.
He said that Waller arrived just in
the nick of time to save Carlon's life.
Raymond Carbon came to Honolulu
several years ago from San Francisco
to work for the Honolulu Market Co.
When that concern closed down he ems
tered the employ of the Metropolitan
Meat Co, and has been with them
ever since. He is a skilled man at his
trade and well liked.

Fox-which piled to and from Alexandria.

upper part of Prince George county bring
ing corn. wheat, tobacco and other produce
OF the country for transport TO Alexandria
by way of Fox Ferry. The steamer Alice Fox
was succeeded by the little steamboat Vir-

Fox Ferry. Travel was diverted by steam
boat landings further down stream, bridges
upstream and railroads in the interior. The
trade of the place was declining, and the
decline was accumulated By the ferry be-
coming a sporting resort" Strong drink
flowed freely, cooking mains were held,
card games ran by day and by night. and
there are traditions of prizetights being
