OBJECTS TO LONG RIDE.
Admiral Wainwright May Not Have
to Stand Test.

Secretary Meyer is considering the ad-
visibility Of exempting high ranking off,
GERS who are extra numbers in their
grades from the annual physical test. 1t
is explained that these officers were ad-
vanced for galantry in action, and as
they are extra numbers their retirement
would not create vacancies or make pro-
motions. Rear Admiral Richard Vain
wright. one Of the heroes of the battle of
Santiago bay. is said to object to taking
the test. 1t is intimated that the proposed
exemption is designed for just such cases
as his. Under the regulations but one
month remains for taking the test.

Only Fireproof Excursion Boat.

1t is stated that the jamestown is the
only fireproof excursion boat in exist
ence. The boat was built under the
direction of the late John Callahan. who
was general manager of the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company. While
the Jameetown was a success as an ex-
cursion steamer, the company was willing
to dispose of it, being satisfied with ca
tering to the public in the matter Of
carrying passengers and freight between
this city and Norfolk Old Point and New
port News.
The trial speed of the boat last week
fully met the demands of its prospective
purchasers, it is stated. and a check was
promptly turned over to the officers OF
the local company. A crew OF about
thirty men will take the boat to Buenos
Aires, where, it is stated, it is to be en-
ployed as an excursion steamer on the

Cut in Estimates.

The canal commission is looking for an
appropriation of $4s.OOo,OoO to continue
making the dirt fly in the big ditch"
during the fiscal years 1910 and 1911.
The appropriations committee, however,
does not feel that the testimony given
at the hearing iustifes such an eXpendi-
ture, and 1t is safe to predict that the
next appropriation bill for canal pur-
poses will be several million dollars less
than the canal officers ask.
While in the Canal Zone the committee
members were besieged by every class
of employees. except the clerks, for an
increase of pay, principally by means of
restoring the longevity increase granted
by President Roosevelt for continued
service. 1t is not believed that the work
men will have their desires granted, the
committee members being convinced that
the canal men are receiving far more pay
than their fellows in similar lines OF
work elsewhere, in addition to which are
their free house rent and other perqui
sites, amounting to so a month.

tain that the complete work will cost

Opinions given unofficiaIIy by several of

Assault on His Aunt.

1t is charged that nearly three weeks
after Harris killed Poole, and two days
before the latter's body was discovered,
he went to the home of his aunt, told her
that his mother. who is her sister, was
sick and wanted to see her, and that as
the two were crossing a cornfield which
separated the two homes he struck his
aunt on the head with heavy iron
chisel and then shot her in the head with
revolver from the effects of which,
however, she recovered.
Discussion of the Harris verdict has de-
veloped the fact that never has a Mont
gomery county jury found resident OF
the county guilty of murder in the first
degree. About eighteen or twenty years
ago a first degree verdict was rendered
here in the case against man named
Leonard, who killed a man in Frederick
county and whose case was removed
here for trial, but that is the only verdict
of the kind ever rendered in the county.
There have been several legal executions
Of colored men within the history of the
county, but they were either convicted
by the court or their cases tried else
where There is no record of any white
man ever having been executed in the
county.
