BAY STATE WANTS MESS HAND
SEQUEL TO KILLING OF SHIP
MATE ON THE VERMONT.
Attorney General Sends Officer With
Warrant for Arrest Of Man on
Manslaughter Charge.

PROVINCETOWN. Mass, August 5
Attorney General Dana Malone OF Mas
sachusetts sent State Officer Bradford
here today with a warrant for David W.
Williams. colored. of Marietta. Ca, a
mess hand on the battleship Vermont,
who is charged in the warrant with
manslaughter, in causing the death of
Harrison Fl. Foster In a boxing bout last
Friday.
Officer Bradford started out to the
Vermont at 1890 pm, and stated that
if the captain of the vessel refused to
give UP the man an appeal would be
made to Rear Admiral Schroeder.
No information has reached the Navy
Department regarding the reported action
of Attorney General Malone of Massachu-
setts in issuing a warrant for the arrest
of David Williams, mess hand on the
battleship Vermont, on the charge of
granddaughter In causing the death of
Harrison II. Foster, a shipmate, in box
ing bout last Friday.
1t is stated that the action of the de-
partment in this case will depend entirely
upon the result of the naval investiSa-
ton in progress on the Vermont.
AS a general proposition, 1t is explained
that the civil authorities have no juris-
diCtiOn over offenSeS committed on board
ships of the navy. Like military reserva-
lions, they are regarded as federal terri
tory and outside of the jurisdiction of
state or municipal authority
The statement was made that ii rests
entirely within the discretion of the wal
authorities whether or not the mess at
tendant, Williams shall be surrendered
TO the civil authorities for trial, or
whether his Offense shall be finally con-
sidered by the naval authorities.

Qualification was expressed today when
1t became known that Chairman Edison
had announced that through the gener-
osity of the citizens of the District suf-
ficient money has been raised to conduct
Camp Good VIII through the season of
1909, which will be concluded at the end
of the present month.
The amount of happiness that has been
carried into the hearts of the little ones
who have been participants in the out
ings and into their homes cannot be COM
puted.
This is charity. indeed" visitor to
the camp remarked the other day, while
watching the children at play. 1T is
the sort of charity that counts. Its value
cannot he estimated in dollars and cents.
1t will be in the nature of great uplift
TO the wee folks who have enjoyed the
bounty of the summer outings commit
tee"
So successful has been the outings to
Camp Good Will that the Associated
Charities officers are already planning
for greater camp for next year. In
the present season the camp could ac-
commodate but 120 children at a time,
that number remaining there two weeks.
Then 10 more were conveyed smiling
and happy to the woodland camping
place. 1t is proposed during the fall
and winter months to enlarge the kit
chen and dining room, which were taxed
to their capacities this year, and also
to increase the dormirory facilities, so
that in the summer of 1910 a much
larger number of tots can be cared for.
Camp Good Will has become one of the
permanent institutions at the nation s
capital, and it is understood other munic-
ipalities will establish similar camps for
the little ones of the ''other half whose
parents cannot afford to give them coun-
try trips in the warm months
Visitors to the camp find much of hui
repaid for the trip by the joyous laughter
Of the children as they give themselves
UP to all forms of amusement in the pic
turesque corner of Rock Creek Park
where the camp Is located.
The success of the camp this season is
expected to prove stimulus to renewed
efforts to make Camp Good Will greater
in size, as it will become greater as an
agency for good morals. good health and
a larger appreciation of the beauties OF
nature.

SALES To JAPANESE BARRED
ALONG CHINESE
RAILWAY FORBIDDEN.

TOkIU, August 3.-It transpred today
that the greatest stumbling block in the
way of an amicable settlement between
China and Japan of the differences over
the Antung- Mukden railway is the order
issued by the Chinese authorities that
no land should be sold to Japanese along
the line under severe penalty.
This and several other questions con-
corning Japanese policy in China will
be determined in short time, it Is ex-
pected, as the whole matter was placed
in the hands of the emperor yesterday
by Foreign Minister Komura.
One of the principal points at issue
since the opening of the Chen Tao boun-
dary dispute between China. Japan and
Russia has been the question of railroad
extension and the establishment of indie
pendent municipalities along the rights of
way of the various lines on the Lao
Tung peninsula.
The controversy is of long standing,
and To it has been added such OF her diff
ferences that arising from the seizure
by the Chinese authorities of the Japa-
nese merchant ship Tatsu Maru and the
question of "a boycott of Japanese goods
in the empire.
All of these matters have been threshed
out by komura, and in submitting them
to the emperor the foreign minister has
brought these negotiations to crisis, %
far as his government is concerned.

NOVEL TEST AS TO SANITY Is
STARTED BY MAGISTRATE.
Now Everybody Is Measuring His
Mental Deficiencies-Not Every

been taken to court by DIR. Hugh Kidder.
who asked that her sanity be inquired
into.
Mrs Berry, according to the testimony,

emily that Miss Vanderbilt had sold the
manuscript of a book written by Mrs
Berry to President Emeritus Eliot OF
Harvard, and that he had used it in the
preparation Of his recent article on New
Religion
DR.. Frank W. Robertson, state exami-
rser of persons whose sanity is questioned,
told the court he was uncertain as to the

SWEDEN FEARS TROUBLE.
Socialists Trying to Turn Labor
Fight Into Revolution.

Fight Into Revolution.
STOCKHOLM August 3.-The labor
war throughout Sweden that is scheduled
to begin tomorrow threatens to develop
in Stockholm in something approaching
a miniature revolution.
The trouble will be enormously ag-
gravated by the present general strike
and lockout. The members of the young
socialists party are striving to give the
movement a revolutionary character and
the government, warned that a political
campaign is going on at the same time,
has taken steps to nip the expected dis
orders in the bud.
The authorities have decided at the first
sign of insurrection 10 declare Stock
holm in a state of Siege.
Soldiers are being quartered in differ
ent sections of the city and suburbs. and
the entire standing army of Sweden is
ready for eventualities.
The situation has suddenly taken so
serious a turn that King Gustave has
summoned the members of parliament to
Stockholm, and a special session of the
rigsdag is expected.

corporations.
He said the reason for this unjust ex-
emption was that taxing holding com,
panies was double taxation. He ridiculed
that idea. citing legal authorities to sus-
tain his contention.
AS soon as Mr.. Clapp had concluded his
remarks Mr.. Bailey arose and remarked
that an understanding had been reacheo

persistently violated the rules against
smoking in the visitors room.
Mr.. Morschauser tried TO show that the
witness had testified only to such state
ments and acts of Thaw as might point
to insanity.
The witness admitted having said at the
Poughkeepsie sanity hearing that in
Thaw's case the diagnosis of maniac de-
pressive insanity had never been estab-
lished. On that occasion also he was
asked whether or not he would certify
Thaw as insane from his personal OBJ
servaton aside from the Stanford White
episode.
His first reply, which he repeated to-
day, was that on several occa sions Thaw
had shown bad judgment" Then he
admitted that under such circumstances
he might hesitate about committing the
prisoner to an asylum.
