BIG STORAGE PLANT PROJECT
TY-FIVE-ACRE SITE ON
MOUNT OLIVET ROAD.
Railroads to Run Siding on Prop
erty-Christian Ubhof Director
Of Enterprise.

A concentration Of the warehouse and
storage business of the District of CO.
lumbia is contemplated in the plans Of a
coterie of capitalists who have just pur-
chased a tract of land of about twenty
five acres in extent at the intersection of
Mount Olivet road and the Pennsylvania
railroad, in Northeast Washington.
Christian Ubhof, a real estate broker.
with Offices in the Colorado building. sue
ceeded some time ago in concentrating
the sale of the ground. He will figure as
the director Of the enterprise, having
charge of the building Of cold storage
and other warehouses, elevators, etc, as
demand fer such structures occurs.
Railroad cooperation has been secured.
1t is assured the railroads will construct
main siding, with branch tracks into
the different houses as rapidly as they
are needed. Ground will be broken for
the first of the storage houses, 1t is ex-
pected. some time in the early autumn.
Concerning the opportunity which offers
for an enterprise such as Is proposed. 1t
has been pointed out that Washington Is
poorly equipped with warehouses of any
description. Commission merchants feel
the hardship In greatest degree.
Not a few Of them have found 1t abso-
lutely impossible to store large quantities
of goods in Washington. it is said, SO
they have been compelled to place their
principal lines Of goods In warehouses in
Baltimore and make shipments to this
city only as needed by the trade Again.
1t is iclaimed. there is neither uniformity
in the quality Of storage facilities nor in
prices demanded for space. and the ware
houses are widely scattered through the
city.
Butter and egg dealers. who buy in
large quantities for the winter trade, have
been faced with the problems incident to
rapidly diminishing space available for
storage of their goods. and with corre-
spending increase in costs.
The new warehousing company has an
excellent location at the site on Mount
Olivet road. The property is at the head
of 18th street extended northeast, whence
the haul to the business center of the
city Is comparatively short over streets
OF easy grade.

Saracen's Head Tavern.

From the London Chronicle
The Saracen's Head, Snow hill. which
has just Been closed. reached back to a
respectable antiquity. In Dick Tarlton's
Jests'' it is referred to as 1.-The Saracen' .
Head without Newgate.' and Stow calls
it "a fair and large inn for receipt of
travellers which hath to sign the Sar-
razen's Head" Its pre-eminent interest,
however, is naturally Dickensian, and
the novelist has given a vivid description
of the old inn as 1t was when Nicholas
Nickleby and his uncle interviewed there
the master of Dotheboys Hall. There are
various accounts Of the origin of the sign
of the Saracen's Head. One is that 1t
was set up as a compliment to the mother
of Thomas a Beckett, who was the daugh-
ter of Saracen. In Selden's Table
Talk we read: when our countrymen
came home from fighting with the Sara
Gems they pictured them with
huge. big. terrible faces (as you still see

Radical Laws Not Anticipated.

There will be no extraordinary or gen
eral legislation introduced or attempted
at the 90 session of the Mississippi
lawmakers if the ideas of some of the
leading workers in that body are adopted
by the chief executive. There is a grow.
ing disposition among a number of thest
men to oppose any attempt to present
matters outside the revenue and appro.
priation measures, and they are ready to
take Gov. Noel at his word and to expect
no recommendations for special legisla'
ton except such as may be of vital i'm
portance for the good of the whole PEG
pie, and so patent and imperative as to
command action without undue delay and
spinning out. There are plenty of laws
on the statute books now-indeed, as has
been stated in various quarters, the stat
ute books are topheavy with laws, and
what is needed more is the spirit of en-.
forcement, and if such spirit can be crys-
talliZed into the statutes, such statutes
ought by all means to be enacted.

FLIES as MILES AN HOUR.
Paulham Coos 10 Miles at Height
of 400 Feet.


Rheims, France tBetheny Aviation
Field).-A marvellous prolonged high
fight of 80 kilometres (1sh miles) in
a 2O-knot breeze by Paulham and the
establishment of a new worlds record
for 10 kilometres at the rate of 74,31S
metres (46 miles, an hour by Bleriot
were the features of the aerial race
meeting Tuesday.
Owing to the high wind, there would
have been nj flights, except for the visit
this afternoon of President Falleries and
his cabinet. The president was accom-
panied also by distinguished officers of
the French and British armies. His
presence stimulated the sky pilots, and
a dozen machines were brought cut on
the field, but a majority of them were
unable to battle against the wind.
Young Banau-Varilla, however, with
his machine plunging like a ship in a
stormy sea, managed to navigate the
turbulent air currents for M round.
Then Paulham, who already had won a
reputation for courage and endurance,
began his thrilling fight. He made the
first two rounds at an altitude OF $50
feet, but ascending in front of the tri-
Dunes as he entered the third circuit,
he reached a height of between 400 and
500 feet.

May Exempt Warehouses.

During the next session of the Legisla'
ture it is very probable that a bill will
be introduced having for its purpose the
exemption of Farmers Union ware
houses and warehouse companies from
liability to assessment for taxes, and it
is sure to receive a considerable degree
of attention.
These warehouses are supported main
ly by the original handlers of the prin-
cipal staple, the men who produce it,
and they will unanimously indorse the
proposition, Notwithstanding it will mean
a considerable reduction in venue 1t
is the purpose of the agricultural publ
cations in the State to discuss this ques-
tion and keep it prominent before the
public constantly until the time for
action comes.

Watch Railroad Develop.

watching the gradual development of the
New Orleans Great Northern railroad
with considerable interest, as it is real
lied that this line is destined to become
"A very important feeder and afford a

devoting a splendid managerial energy
to the work of solidifying and strength
ening it's tracks and improving its facili
ties and equipment in order that they
may better cater to and handle the bus
mess that naturally comes to them, and
having had ideal weather conditions for
the carrying on of this work, they have
made the best of it. In a few days the
postal authorities will put on the through

will be made between Monticello and

Road Improvement a Hope.

If the Legislature of Mississippi at its
1910 session can so gauge its resources
and apply the available revenue as to
set aside a specified sum to be devoted
to road building and improvement, that
same Legislature will go down into his
tory as one of the most practical and
benefcent chosen for years-since the
days of 1890. The fact that there will
be much demanded of the Legislature is
well known, and unless the economists
who are heart and soul after good roads
get in their work effectively and early in
the game, there are grave doubts as to
the prospects fer success. 1t is held that
if the Legislature would appropriate a
sur of money from the general revenues,
which come from the counties, after all,
sufficient to duplicate such as might be
set aside by the boards of supervisors,
for the purpose of meeting the cost of
building a stretch of model road in each
county, the effort and the money would
be well spent.

of supervisors in counties having two
judicial districts are entitled to receive
compensation for the two districts, as is
the case with sherifrs inc court clerks
and other officers. Answering this, the
attorney general holds that as the act o,

in Jones county, is silent as to the ques
tion submitted, it must be settled &C
cording to the provisions of section 22Oe
of the Mississippi code OF 1906.

NEGRO SHOT UP TOWN
La, SCENE OF EXCIT-
ING TRAGEDY.
Negro Finally Brought Down With
Bullet in Heart-Body Cremated :.
+, in Public.

Monroe, La.-Angered, it is believed,
because two of his friends had recently
been shot by police officers in this city,
William s. Wade, a negro, Tuesday ran
armick on the principal business street
Of Monroe with a double-barreled shot
gun, shooting first at every white man
he saw an then firing Unfortunately at
every object before him.
The fire was returned, and the negro
finally fell dead with a bullet through
his heart, but not before t%wenty-nine
men, three of them members of his own
race, had been more or less seriously
wounded.
Wade's body was publicly burned after
it had been cut down from a pole on
which it hung for half an hour or more
after he was killed.
1t was at first reported that Wade was
of cocaipe and cheap whisky, but an in.
vestigation by the police showed that
when he purchased the shotgun and a
box of shells, a few minutes before he
opened fire on the first man, there was
nothing unusual in his manner or be-
havior. Other negroes, who were with
him say that he had not been drinking,
nor did he show any effects of having
taken cocaine.
Wade came to Monroe recently from
Pine Bluff, Ark. He was accompanied
by several other negroes, and they COM
mepced to make trouble for the local po-
lice soon after they arrived. 1t was al
legged that they were members of a So
ciety in Arkansas which had as its OBJ
ject revenge for injuries done the black
race. As a result, these negroes clashed
with the police on many occasions, and
twice recently they have exchanged shots
with the officers. 1t is also alleged that
Wade was heard to say that no white
man was going to shoot him. =
