ROBBED BY A FOOTPAD.
Curtis Porter Assaulted on River
Road in Prince George County.

Residents of the section of Prince
George county in which Curtis Porter
was assaulted and robbed Monday night
have been brought to a realization that
they must do something to put stop to
assaults and robberies there. 1t was
only recently that a colored farmer was
stopped on the road, beaten and robbed
of about $780, and the people living in
the vicinity of Tuxedo and Kenil worth
are discussing steps to bring about an
improvement in conditions.
Porter, who is about eighteen years
of age, had visited George Fraley, his
brother-in-law, early in the evening, and
started toward his own home not long
after o'clock. He had not gone more
than 100 feet on River road between
Kenilworth and Tuxedo before he was
attacked. He believes that his assailant
was colored. The footpad grasped him
by the throat, choking him until he was
insenSible. When he regained conscious
ness he returned to the home of his
brother-in-law and related his experience.
When he reached the house he was
suffering from injuries to his throat face
and body. He told of the treatment he
had received, and Mr.. Fraley hurried to
inform Constable Mohler of what had
happened. No time was lost sending
telephone messages to other officers in
the county. Deputy Sheriff Garrison was
among the first to respond to the sum-
mons and assist in the investigation.
The officers obtained from Porter a
good description of the footpad and they
have an idea as to his identity. Since
then energetic efforts have been made
to apprehend the suspected man.

HEARSE STRUCK BY A CAR
DEPLoRABLE ACCIDENT FOL
LOWS FUNERAL OF CHILDREN.
Two Caskets Overturned While the
Procession Is on Its Way
to the Cemetery.

As two hearses. one conveying the body
of Clara Hickman. a six-year-old child );
the other the remains of Nava Armstrong,
four years old, were proceeding side by
side to Harmony cemetery yesterday aft
ernoon one was struck by 18th street
car at Thomas Circle and the undertaken
hurled into the street. The carriages con-
tanning the minister, pallbearers and fu-
neral tributes had safely passed over the
car tracks, when a dead car, that was
being pushed north to the car barn, came
whrling around the curve, crashed into
one of the hearses, overturning two Of
the baskets. Had not the hearse that was
struck been held by the other by its side,
it would have been completely over
turned and perhaps smashed.
Quickly hundreds of people gathered at
the scene. After considerable delay the
cortege proceeded on it's way to the ceme
terry. The accident was the deplorable
sequel of the funeral of the three cOlored
children who were smothered to death in
the fire at 800 street northwest Satur-
day afternoon.
The services were conducted at Metro
politan A NJ. T.. Church by the pastor,
Rev. Oscar ]. w. Scott, assisted by Rev.
j. Milton Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Bap-
fist Church and other local colored d.
vines.
At Harmony cemetery the three caskets
were consigned to one grave at the eX-
pressed desire of the parents. Owing to
the accident it was not until after dark
that the services were ended.
On his return the undertaken was
obliged to summon physician to attend
to his injuries.

allied the depth of her thought on human

PROPOSE A SANE OBSERVANCE
COMMISSIONERS TAKE STEPS
AS TO FOURTH OF JULY.
May Disappoint the Small Boy by
Prohibiting the Promiscuous
Use of Explosives.

A quiet Fourth of July here is proposed
The District Commissioners are consider.
Ing suggestion to prohibit the use OF
noisy explosives and fireworks in celebra.
ton of national Independence day.
Commissioner mcfarland recommends
to his colleagues the prohibition of the
sale and use of fireworks and explosives
the Fourth of July, except such aerial
fireworks as may be provided and set off
by committee of citizens.
The present regulations restrict the
retail sale of fireworks in the District OF
Columbia to the Sd and 4th of July. Com
missioner Mcfarland believes that the
time has come for the National capital to
lead in this direction by stopping the dan
gerous and noisy fireworks celebration OF
Independence day and providing instead a
united celebration which shall be safe and
beautiful
Commissioner Macfarland has taken note
country against the old, noisy, dangerous
method of celebrating 4th of July, and the
propositions in different cities to stop it.
Believes in Cooperative Display.
The Commissioner believes that the CO.
operative display of aerial fireworks by
all the citizens will meet the desire for
fireworks celebrations without the dlsad-
vantages of the method which has been
used. The Commissioner has ascertained
that last 4th of July twenty-four cases
of powder wounds were treated at the
two emergency hospitals. He says that
if twenty-four cases of power wounds
were treated in the hospitals on any other
day in the year there would be a swift
and stern demand that the cause be re-
moved. He believes that public sentiment
is ripe for removing the cause of so many
accidents the 4th of July. He believes
that every year there might be such a
celebration of the 4th of July by the COM
munity through the efforts of citizens. as
the municipal celebration of 1904, or that
in connection with the opening of the
District building, the last 4th of July.
The question of what should be done
in regard to the fireworks next 4th of July
is to be decided now because dealers have
to place their orders at this time and want
to know what the regulations will be.

Doings Of Pleasure Craft.

The handsome power launch Dacota. be-
longing to R. L. Gait, is lying at the
street wharf to have one of her engines
repaired and for other work.
On her last trip down the river, in the
early part of the week, one Of the gaso-
line power engines in the yacht was
broken as she was coming up to this city
The disabled engine was removed yester-
day afternoon and will be rebuilt before
it is again placed in the boat.
The Dacota will be ready for service
again by the end of this week.
In consequence of the continued low
tides the power launch Alma, one of the
local fleet of pleasure craft. has not been
launched from the railway. The boat was
made ready to be put overheard about a
week ago and was to have taken her
owner on trip down the river. 1t is
thought that the tide will make high
enough this afternoon to permit the
launching of the boat.

BUSY BURGLARS, THESE.
Intruders Visit Houses While DC

Burglars, who have been unusually &C

At the home of Mr.. Thacher entrance
was effected by breaking a fastening from
a rear window. The house was ransacked
and two pieces of jewelry, gold watch
worth $50 ard a chain worth $50 taken.
The burglar also took a pocketbook con-

Not so much trouble was experienced in

new LAND FRAUD TRIAL DENIED
MOTIONS OF HYDE AND SCHNEI
DER ovERRULED.
Court Refuses to Allow Examination
OF Jurors as to Method Of
Reaching Verdict.

Justice Stafford of the District Supreme
| trial made by Frederick A. Hyde and
Joost II. Schneider. convicted last spring
of conspiracy to defraud the United States
in connection with securing land grants
in the states of Oregon and Washing
ton.
The motion to arrest Judgment was not
disposed of, as the court has not decided
the question involved therein. The i'm
position of sentence will probably be de-
ferred until that motion is decided.
The principal claim made by the de-
PENDANTS for new trial was that the
Jurors had been coerced by their long
confinement to reach a verdict, and that
they had been guilty of misconduct in
trading votes. 1t was declared that
jurors, who thought all four defendants
should be convicted. We're persuaded to
vote for the acquittal of Henry P. Dmond
in exchange for the votes of jurors who
considered all not guilty, to secure the
conviction of Schneider.
This claim with others was urged in a
long argument last week by counsel for
the defendants and opposed by the gov
ernmentS attorney.
The defense summoned the twelve men
who had comprised the jury and sought
to interrogate them before the judge as
to the manner of reaching their verdict.
This use of the jurors as witnesses was
strongly opposed by the prosecution.
Justice Stafford, in sustaining the con-
tention of the prosecution, declared that
to allow the jurors to be examined would
be to allow them to testify that the YER
dict which they solemnly rendered in
court was not their honest judgment and
opinion of the evidence-a matter as to
which they and they alone could know
and matter as to which, according to
the very rule invoked by the defendants,
juror is not to be allowed to testify.
