MR.. McDEARMON ON DUTY.
Night watehman Reinstated by the
Commissioners.

On April II an article was published
relative to the revocation Of a commits
sion of Eek McDearmon as private
watchman in the District Of Columbia.
and In that article several errors were
inadvertently made
In the first instance. the petition upon
which Mr.. McDearmon had his hearing
before the Commissioners. resulting in
his dismissal. was not predlcated upon
any act Of the Washington Patrol Com
pany, but rather upon the act of the
owner Of the store which Mr.. MeDear-
mos. was accused of having entered with
out right And it further appears that
the Commissioners did not consider the
complaint Of the Washington Patrol Com
pany in any measure by reason Of the
fact of its having been a private dispute
between that company and Mr.. McDear-
mon. who saw fit to sever his connection
with the company for reasons Of his own.
which act was distasteful 10 bis former
employers.
The report referred to of the superin-
tendent Of police showed that Mr.. Nc

He sought a regular police officer, and

they entered the transom in order 10 as
certain whether or not any one had en-
tered the store.
They went through it. closing 1t up, and
endeavored to communicate with Mr.,
Topham, the owner. but failed 10 reach
him, by reason of failure on his part
TO answer the phone. Mr.. McDearmon
Immediately reported the matter to a
regular police officer, who commended
him, and Furthermore reported the mat
ter to the captain of the precinct
Mr.. Topham thereupon saw ft TO prefer
charges against Mr.. McDearmon. and on
these charges ne was dismissed by reason
Of a technical violation Of the law regu-
lating his appointment
Immediately thereafter, upon further
hearing, Mr. McDearmon was Teinstated
as special officer, and Is at present hold

ton OF the police officials and the Com
mlssioners and numerous business men.

EXPLAINS THE BYRD LAW.
Judge Harrison Says Communion Is
Not Prohibited.

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Winchester, Va. April 23.-In view OF
the widespread misunderstanding of GER
tain provisions Of the Byrd law, recently
enacted by the Virginia legislature, Judge
Thomas W. Harrison. of Winchester, gave
out the following statement to-day which
is in reply to an urgent inquiry from
prominent clergyman:
In my opinion, the law does not for
bid the use Of communion. One clause
of the Byrd law forbids any person from
selling or dispensing intoxicating liquor
on Sunday, Christmas, or election days.
Certain justices Of the peace in Loudoun
County. and Alexandria are reported to
have construed dispensing as giving and
fined persons for giving g drink TO 4
friend on Sunday. My own idea in this
is that they are clearly wrong. The words
selling and dispensing III the particu-
lar clause have reference 20 the authority
10 sell or dispense in the other clauses in
the law.
"Of course, IL the law is that no one can
give a drink TO a friend. a clergyman
could not give wine in the communion
service. Under the Byrd law, no one can
sell liquor at any time but a licensed
dealer He can sell, but not on Sunday.
Under the Byrd law, there Is no prohibit
tion against any one giving or dispensing
liquor without sale at any time except
social clubs at their clubhouses. Such
clubs must have license and then they
are forbidden to do so on Sunday. It
seems TO me that this is the plain mean
ing OF the law

FAMOUS OLD MOUND TO GO
Relic from Which Town Is Named
to Be Cut Down.
Effort Now AfOOt to Save Curiosity
at Moundsvi1Ie, West
Virginia.

Special to The Washington Herald
Cumberland, Nd, april 8.-An effort
will be made 10 prevent the destruction
Of the historic mound at Moundsville.
". Va, from which the city gets its
name.
It is considered the greatest work in
this country Of the famous race OF
mound builders. Originally at Mounds
vile there were nine mounds within a
space Of a few miles. All have now dis
appeared save the one big mound.
AT one time there was a partial ex-
ploration of the big mound and num-
Der Of skeletons, some odd pottery, and
numerous human bones were found The
mound was not penetrated TO any great
depth and it is believed it contains many
valuable relics.
Several efforts have been made by r. ].
McFadden, OF Moundsville. to dispose Of
the mound 10 the State and various his
tOricEl societies, but IN vain, so he has
secured permission from the Mounds
vile council TO build a small road from
its base TO some loW-lying ground near
the river, and over the track The historic
mound is to be conveyed piecemeal to I'll
up the semi-swamp.
The mound was known 10 old Spanish
explorers. Its base is a perfect circle,
while il slants gradually 10 an apex. and
there are historical descriptions as far
back as 1894, which show that at that
time the mound was s71z feet high. The
sides and top are overgrown by immense
trees.
Valuable finds were made from time
to time in the other mounds that were
removed. including stone tools and
signeJs.
If the mound Is razed, II is assured
that a number OF government experts
and scientists will be on hand to examine
the finds.
