half the distance had been traversed the
French encountered the Arabs, who with
reckless courage hurled themselves upon
the front and TANKS simultaneously, seek
ing to cut off Boudenib, but the artillery
kept up a terrible fire, in the face of
which the Arabs were unable to approach
to close quarters. 3
They returned again and again to the
charge, leaving their dead in heaps. but
finally became discouraged and retired
Col. Allix followed up his advantage and
occupied the camp completely routing the
enemy, who dispersed in all directions,
holly pursued by the French cavalry. The
total French loss was Lieut.. Schwartz OF
the Sd Sharpshooters and twenty-one
others wounded, of whom only three were

BOYS BRIGADE BATTLE.
Encampment at COLCHESTER Beach
Now Over.

The Boys Brigade, which has been
camping for several days at colchester
Md. brought the encampment to a close
yesterday with sham battle. The lads
who had been clicking away with their
unloaded guns for several days. had the
fun of popping off blank cartridges, shoot
ing straight at the enemy, killing and in
turing 'em and keeling over on their
backs and dying bravely If not in all
cas- gracefully.
The line of battle was drawn up in a
big field outside the grounds occupied by
the brigade. The charge was made on
the long fence which incloses the field.
The fence was captured and spectators
who had picked 1t as point Of vantage
were routed in precipitate haste.
In the midst Of the battle the Emma
Giles and Louise, the steamboats, which
carried the brigade to Colchester. blew
their whistles. Whether 1t was fear of
the muSket fire that set the crowd ASCOT
ing or fear of being lot behind in the
park until the boats came back again
next season. could not be determined by
the military experts on the field. Later
in the afternoon the boys left for their
homes in different parts of Maryland
and the states. A number were in this
city last night.

North Cardinals Way
of Shifting Burden

Even were it the duty of the state
to receive this man it would be al
most impossible to have him trans
ported, inasmuch as no common
carrier would knowingly carry him.
1t is equally true that it would
be quite impossible for this man to
make the journey from the District
of Columbia to his home in Polk
county through the country; be-
cause this would mean communica-
ton with people over the route
and if it was known-and it would
certainly be known-that he was a
leper the benevolence of the people
would be entirely destroyed by theil
fears.
Mr.. Early states that he contract
ed leprosy while in the Philippines
and while in the service of the
United States government. If this
is SO, and we have no reason to
doubt it, he was a leper when he
was discharged from the service,
and the fact that the disease had
not manifested itself is immaterial.
Therefore, from a moral standpoint,
1t is the duty of the United States
government to care for him.

"sHoW MES" IN CONVENTION.
Delegates of Five Parties Meet In

JEFFERSON CITY, No. September s.
Delegates poured into Jefferson City on
every train today to attend the state con-
ventions that met here simultaneously
this afternoon the republican convention
in Carnegie Library. the democratic con-
vention in the circuit courtroom. the So
cialist convention in Music Hall. the pro-
hibition convention in the senate cham
Der and the peoples party convention in
a room of the capitol in the rear of the
senate chamber. Preceding the conven-
tions the new republican and democratic
state committees held meetings to select
managing officials for the fall campaign.
The party conventions were then held to
formulate and adopt the state platforms.
1t is considered not improbable the con-
ventions may take until o'clock tomor-
row evening to adopt their respective
platforms and file them with the secre-
tary of state, under the new law. To pre-
vent any serious disagreement over the
platforms leaders of both parties have
been holding harmony conferences for

Attorney Davenport for Bucks Stove
and Range Company Confers
With Attorney Sullivan.

The hearing on the GomperS- Morrison
Mitchell alleged contempt rule, which was
set for today and postponed by consent
of counsel until tomorrow. will probably
not be held until October. Justice Gould,
who is presiding over all the branches OF
the District Supreme Court has strongly
intimated from the bench that the matter
should not be heard during vacation, and
should go over until the regular court
term in October.
Contested matters which bid fair to
take up the time of the court for two or
three days, or probably a week, he said.
should not be heard out of consideration
both for the presiding justice and the
other business of the courts
The sessions of the court during vaca-
ton, he explained, are held for the pur-
pose of disposing Of routine matters and
the making of orders in emergency cases.
Counsel on both sides. 1t is understood,
Will be ready to proceed tomorrow should
Justice Gould decide that the matter is
OF such Importance as to require imme-
date hearing. Judge Alton B. Parker,

cal bar, will represent the respondents,

terence with the local law firm.
Attorney Davenport Here.
Daniel Davenport of Connecticut, of
counsel for the Bucks Stove and Range
Company, and Attorney w. C. Sullivan,
its local counsel, were in court today and
asked that the case be heard tomorrow.
Unless counsel can show the urgency of
a hearing it is safe to say that the mat
ter will be postponed until the regular
term of court.
Justice Gould who will presIde in Crinoi
nal Court No. 1 after October g, will
probably be asked to hear the case, as he
rendered the ruling which 1t is alleged has
been held in contempt.
