HAS HAD SUCCESSFUL SEASON
BUT BATHING BEACH CLOSES
PORTALS TODAY.
Plans for Utilizing Pools for Boat.
ing Next Year After Bathing
Season Closes.

The most successful season in the his
tory of the local bathing beach will be
brought to close today The bath
| houses will be locked up and the water
| drained from the pools. And the patrons
of the municipal swimming pools will di-
/ rect their energies to mastering the intri-
cacies of the three RS.
While no funds are available for carry
Hudson, superintendent of the beach,
! hopes that the pools can be utilized in the
falls of other years for instructions III
boating of all kinds. 1t is suggested that
skiffs. canoes and other small water craft
could be placed in the water of the pools
and children could be given valuable les
sons in the art of handling boats. The
weather becomes too cool for outdoor
swimming at this season of the year, and
DR.. Hudson thinks the usefulness of the
beach could be well extended over a
longer period by this plan.
Reduces Number of Drownings.
This project has been suggested as a
means of reducing the rivers toll of
drownings. 1t is pointed out that every
summer many lives are lost owing largely
to the nexperience of boys and girls in
the handling of the water craft. BY in
struction given by trained boatmen at the
bathing beach for few weeks each year.
it is believed, many persons can be taught
how to handle boats safely.
Before the next session of Congress. 1t
is declared, special pleas will be made for
liberal appropriations for tn institution.
On the account of it's protection to the
lives of the Districts youngsters, it is
argued that the beach is entitled to SUBJ
stantiaI support. and many pro !"cts of
Improvement are under consider: an. 1t
is the desire of those in charge to lave a
large pool constructed, to afford adequate
swimming facilities for the swarms of
young people applying daily during the
heated term for the opportunities of the
beach.
AS an extension of the bathing facili-
ties of the National Capital and as a
means of popularizing Rock Greek Park it
is proposed to construct new swimming
pool in that public reservation. Such a
pool would prove an inducement to the
greater use of the park, it is believed.

the northwest section Of the District

public school sessions close in the early
summer. ii will be open after school hours
in the afternoon until DARK Following the
last day of school the beach will open at

Judge Samuel w. Williams of Wythe,

reported as having failed to comply with
the election laws by not fling Il state

he did file the statement, as required by
law. but that he filed it with the clerk of
Wythe county. The law is not clear that
the statement shall be filed with the sec
rotary of the commonwealth. and he
thereby escapes the penalty of the law.
j. Thompson Brown of Bedford, de-
feated for commissioner of agriculture,
failed to conform to the same law. and
got i'm with his statement about ten days

law to mean thirty days before the gen
eral election instead of thirty days after
the primary.

SEVEN HELD FOR MURDER
Angry Mississippi Mob Clamors for
Their Blood.

Inverness, Miss.-Seven negroes, five
men and two women, are in the Gala
boose here, charged with the assassina-
tion of B. A. Bradley, prominent and
wealthy planter living near here. They
were arrested after being tracked down
by bloodhounds, led by officers and fol-
lowed by posse of heavily armed citi-
zens. 1t is feared that the whole crowd
will be lynched, for the town is filed
with excited men, who have been held
in leash all night by the conservative
leaders of the community, and also by
the fact it is not definitely known that
these negroes actually committed the
crime for which they are held.
The dogs are out on another trail, and
until that posse returns 1T is probable
that no action will be taken against the
prisoners
Mr.. Bradley was shot down from abb
bush late yesterday afternoon on
bridge over bayou about half q mile
from his residence. He had gone over to
the cabin of one of his negro tenants to
prevent white man from executing a
threat to whip his tenant, and was OH
his way back home when killed.

CONFEDERATE REUNION DATE
Big Gathering win Be Held at
Memphis June 8, 8 and 10.


Memphis, Tenn.-The nineteenth an
nual reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans will be held in this city June
8, 8 and 10. These dates are officially
announced by Gen. VIM. e. Mickle, -ad-
jutant-general and chief of staff to Gen.
Clement A, Evans, commander-in-chief
of the United Confederate Veterans. The
dates were selected at conference held
with w. j. Crawford, chairman, and the
executive reunion committee.
In speaking of the coming reunion,
Gen. Mickle said:
Il am going to use every effort know
of to make the reunion of 1909 one of
the grandest and biggest ever given.
Il am inclined to believe more people
will come to Memphis this year than has
attended any reunion for the past ten
years. Of course, this must not be un-
derstood that more old soldiers will be
here, because that would be impossible.
The commands are thinning out.
Il estimate, however, that we still
have about 10000 left in eur organiza-
tion. But, of course, there are hundreds
of them unable to travel, and therefore,

Improved Car Situation

The report of the American Car as- sociation for the two weeks ending April 2S is reassuring. In the two weeks mentioned the number of idle cars was reduced to the extent of 14.835.
 On April 29, 1908, the number of idle care was 413,33S On April 28 last the number had been reduced to 2s1,831. The reductions extend to box, flat, coal and all other kinds of freight cars. The box reduction has been 40,305 cars; fiat reduction, 1927; coal, gondola and hopper reduction, 76,262; other kinds, 7O19; total reduction in year, 131,507.
 These figures are promising. They show that general trade is increas- ing. They hold out the hope that next fall, when crops are ready to move, there will not be an idle car in the country-a condition that has not existed since the panic of Oc- tober, 1907.

Inspector Bush, who is a physician, about as unsanitary a place as could be imagined"
 Are the good people of Jefferson county willing to rest under the i'm putation of confining 200 prisoners in such a place? The majority of them are awaiting trial, and they may be innocent of all offense. They are the poor and humble of the county's pris- oners. They have been arrested. They cannot furnish ball. They are await ing, in a jail that has officially been declared unsanitary. trial Is tnls just?
 The Board of Revenue should no longer hesitate. The county needs a skyscraper' jail and courthouse that will last until the year 1850. Any con struction that would be outgrown or outworn this side of 1850 would not be true economy. This is a difficult county to provide for during 40 years to come, but a 12-story skyscraper would be pretty sure to meet all calls upon it.

RAILWAY TRAVEL IN CHINA.

From the London Telegraph.
 Railway travelling in China apparently has dangers of it's own Of late com plaints have been rife as to the failure of the authorities to afford proper protec- ton to passengers on the Shanghai-Nan- king line. It appears that when some irresponsible Chinaman meets with an accident through trespassing on the line or not exercising proper caution at a level crossing. 1t Is customary for his fellow villagers to stop the next train, Lombard 1t with stones and extort com pensation from the unlucky travellers, who are fortunate if they reach their jour ney's end with their heads unbroken. Such attempts at repression as have been made have proved wholly inadequate, and these outrages are said to be of frequent oc- currence.

 By tricheIy he was decoyed to the oper- ating room, and then he was suddenly bounced upon and bound. He struggled desperately and his shreks were heart rendns.

MARK TWAIN'S LAZlNESS.

From the New York Times.
 ". Landsittel is the grizzled foreman of the Lyons Republican, which is the republican organ of Wayne county, N. Y.
 I've been in this business for 50 years now" he said to Times reporter last week, as he stroked hIs gray mustache, "and I have seen some lazy people in my time. Yes, sir, while the newspaper business Is exacting and telling on the nerves, 1t does harbor some really lazy folks from time to time"
 Whom do you consider the champion lazy man of the newspaper gamer" he was asked.
 That is so easy to answer" was his reply, with a wan smile. Almost any of the real old-timers in this business would give you his name right off the bat. Why, Mark Twain holds the belt"
 The Republicans foreman reflected
 "I was a printers devil on the Buffalo Express 40 years ago." he said "and one of my duties was to sweep the room where reporters and editors worked Every day during the time that Mark was partner in the publication of the Express I was bribed by him in the cause of rest and ease. I would sweep every corner of that room. and when I came to Marks desk on which his feet re- posed he would look me over and ask me to go away. T don't want my part of the office cleaned up,' he would say. Please don't make me move, I'm so com fortable.' Then he would give me a nickel to get away from him and leave him in his own corner without any of the debris of the business cleared away. He would rather die there in the dust and truck than uncross his legs or tilt his chair back so that I could sweep up."
 Brother Landsittel stopped the press long enough to find out what was chip ping the corners of his pages as they swept downward from the big rollers.
 ''Yes, sir.' he ruminated, 'he was cer- tainly lazy. One day he gave me nickel to dot an f in his copy for him. He did certainly enjoy life. that man did"

To the Sea at Savannah

If practically speaking the Central railroad of Georgia is to be taken over by the Illinois Central, fine results would surely follow to the good of this district. The line tc Savannah would be brought up to the modern standard, and great deal of freight would be turned this way, and all of the Illinois Centrafs Florida traVel. A direct line to the sea and boats to New York would invite large traffic.
 It would give the Illinois Central prominence in this district that would otherwise be denied It. For this req son 1t is reasonably certain that the two roads will practically be consol- dated. As both roads are controlled by MT. Hartman, and as he believes in the economy and practicability of consolidation, it is pretty safe to as- sume that the two roads will, after June 1, practically be merged, and that the Central of Georgia will be made as good as the Illinois Central is itself. In that case the line of the former between Birmingham and Sa- vannah would be come It's main line to which it's various branches would be tributary.
