MORNING IN RossLYN, VA.

committed about l o'clock this morning in
Rosslyn, Va, just across the Aqueduct
bridge AS William Williamson. colored.
about thirty-two years of age. was pro-
ceeding to his home, and when just above
the Arlington brewery on the road to Fort
Myer, a colored man suddenly sp-ang from
behind a telegraph pole and shot him
through the abdomen.
Williamson fell to the road and a passer-
by notified the seventh precinct police. who
sent the patrol wagon across the river and
had the wounded man removed to the
Georgetown University Hospital. His con-
dition was pronounced critical. and there
is but little hope for his recovery.
On his way to the hospital Williamson
told the police that the man who shot him
was colored. but a stranger. He can offer
no explanation for the deed.
The Alexandria county authorities have
been notified. and a search is being made
for the assaiiant.

SHIP HAS FOUND HERSELF"
Machinery Shaken Into Shape on
Westward Trip and Better Work
Expected This Voyage.

NEW YORK, September 2t.-With her
great turbine engines tuned up to racing
pitch, the Cunard liner Lustania sped out
of New York harbor late this afternoon on
her maiden eastbound trip across the At
lantc. and at racing speed she passed the
Sandy Hook lightship. the starting line OF
the transatlantic race course, at Al o'clock
tonight.
Although the officials Of the line say that
they have no Intention of trying for any
records, 1t is believed that the Lusitania
will beat the lines record held by the Luz
cania as easily as she beat the westbound
record held by the same ship few days
ago. This eastbound record is days 8
hours and 80 minutes. To equal this time
the Lusitania must reach Daunts Rock, off
Queenstown, the finish line of the race
course by S:1e o'clock on the morning OF
September q.
Must Beat Twenty-Three Knots
If the Lusitania makes an average speed
of twenty three knots an hour-her average
on the westbound trip was 23.O1-she should
reach Daunts Rock at 1:51 O'Clock on the
morning of September q with a record for
the trip of days hours and 10 minutes,
beating the Lucania's record by hours %
minutes
But while speed Of twenty-three knots
would make the Lusitania queen Of the
Cunard line it would not entitle her to the
championship title. The North German
Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1904 es-
tablished a speed record for an Atlantic
passage that has never been equaIled. Ihe
G;rman liner maintained average speed
of 23.5s knots hour. more than half
knot an hour better than the Lusitania's
speed on her maiden voyage.
Expect Record Broken.
That the Lusitania can beat this record
every one connected with the great turbiner
Is firmly convinced, but that she will beat
it on this trip Is a question that can only
be decided with the finish of the voyage
The machinery Of the ship was well
shaken down on her westward trip. and the
officers and engineers are convinced that
she has found herself" has passed
through that mysterious operation which
only sailors understand Of shaking herself
into shape so that all her millions of parts
work smoothly and perfectly together.

WIRE STRIKE ON SOUTHERN
TELEGRAPHERS THREATEN TO
GO OUT MONDAY.
Order Effective Unless Men Dis
charged for Refusing Non-Union
Messages Are Reinstated.

RICHMOND Va, September 21.-An
order has gone forth for a strike Of every
telegrapher on the Southern railway system
Monday morning unless the Southern re-
stores two operators who were discharged
near Atlanta Monday for refusing to handle
Western Union messages for offices where
Western Union men strike.
1t Is said that the Union men were on
strike. These rumors have been current
here two or three days. but lacked con-
firmation until today
L. G. Bentley, general chairman Of the
Order Of Railway Photographers. Chesa-
peake and Ohio division said this after
noon that the matter concerned the men on
the Southern, and he was therefore not in
a position to discuss the matter, though he
had heard the rumor that the telegraphers
of the Southern would strike Monday. 1t
Is said that Western Union and Southern
officials In Washington agreed to make a
test case for railway telegraphers.
In this conference the Southern. 1t is said.
agreed to discharge the first operator who
refused to handle a message from a man
who had taken the place of a union striker.
Last week two operators near Atlanta re-
fused to handle messages from a strike
breaker and the Southern discharged them.
The result was that a committee waited on
the Southern officials and asked for the re-
insta tement Of the men The committee
was informed that the order came from
Washington and nothing could be done
here.
When the committee tried to get some
answer from Southern officials in Wash
ington the members We're ignored and, ac-
cording to local telegraphers. the South
ern has done everything possible to force
the issue. Yesterday the photographers, it
is said. decided unanimously that unless
the two men We're renstated by Monday
morning every operator on the Southern
and It's branch lines would quit their keys
and let the trains run themselves

Men in Hands of Judges


Special Dispatch to The Star
CUMBERLAND, Md, September 21.-The
mandamus case of David Edy. one of the
republican nominees for the house of dele
gates, and the twenty-five Lowndes COM
mitteemen to compel the Pearre committee
men to turn over the ballots of the twenty
precincts counted by them is now in the
hands of the court, Judges Boyd and
Keedy.
The argument was concluded late this
afternoon. 1t Is expected that a decision
will be rendered early next week
1t is understood that the Lowndes people
will acquiesce in the decision should they
lose. The Pearre people took exceptions,
and should the decision be against them in
the lower court they may take the case to
the court of appeals. In this event the
names of the republican nominees may not
get on the official ballot. the official GER
tificatlon may be too late
1t is necessary that the county committee
certify to the nominations so that the names
may go the official ballot. There is now
no recognized county committee. and there
will not be until the present trouble is
