The Bath Tub Trust.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The fifty in
dicted officials of the bath tub trust
who are to be tried on January 4 for
violation OF the Sherman antitrust law,
received doleful New Years messages
today from the four attorneys who are
here seeking clemoncy for them.
Following a most discouraging inter-
view with trust busters, Kenyon and
Grosvenor, yesterday, the attorneys to-
day decided to stay over in Washing
ton until Tuesday in hope OF being able
to persuade Attorney General Wicker
sham to change his mind and agee to
compromise. The attorney general,
they say, has worked unusually hard on
the bath tub trust case aud now has
evidence which he is. certain will result
in sweeping victory for the govern
ment.
To consent 10 a compromise they say
would not only be foolish but would be
in direct variance to the policy which he
outlined several months ago.
The attorney general must and will
be consistent" declared one official to-
day, He has said that a fine is not suf-
fcient punishment for trust official
who has violated the law. The public
I think agrees with him." The attor-
ney general therefore intends TO send
as many OF the bath tub officials to jail
as possible,

NO DEFICIT.

Governor Mann yesterday predicted
that, in spite OF the fact that when be
entered upon his present Office the
finances OF Virginia we're hardly ade-
quatc to meet the appropriations made
by the legislature in the past, and that
it is alleged that the last legislature was
extravagant in its appropriations, there
will be no deficit against the common
wealth at the expiration OF his term.
He pointed out that there was q sur
plus OF approximately 100000 in the
treasury at the expiration of the term
OF former Governor Montague.
In speaking OF the mooted report OF
the auditing committee, he said that it
is his belief that the report was so
framed as to leave false impression
upon the general mind, but further
said that he did not think the report
was framed with this end in view.

SHOT DEAD RY OLDER BROTHER.

Willard Dawson, the 12-yoar-old son
Of Thomas ID. Gaskins, OF Norfolk, was
shot aud almost instantly killed by his
brother yesterday morning.
The two children Willard, aged Il
years, and David, IA years old, were in
their fathers room, and the younger
boy picked up his fathers revolver, a
self-cocker, and began. playing with it.
David took the weapon from his
younger brother and playfully pointed
it at him, saying Suppose you were a
burglar.
David evidently thought that the
pistol had to be cooked before the trig-
ger could be pulled and when he pulled
on it the revolver was discharged, the
bullet striking the younger boy in the
abdomen and infiicting wound from
which he died in Is minutes.

japanese Activity in the Philippines.

Manila. Dec. 31.-Not only have
japanese spies been carrying on their
work in Manila Bay and Mt the fortif-
cations on Corregidor Island, but in
formation obtained by the Uniled
Press today shows lliat they arc now
engaged in making 4 map OF the entire
Filipino archipelago.
The authorities are aware of this
menacing japanese activity, but they
are powerless to interfere, owing to
there being no law for the punishment
of the spies.
The maps that the Japanese are
secretly at work upon are not Of the:
ordinary kind, but are such as would
be OF particular benefit to the japanese
government should it ever seek to
acquire forcible possession OF the
islands. They show practically every
foot OF ground that would be OF strage-
teal value to Japan in the event of
war. ~

every effort to trace the source OF the

corning the alleged plans for the mining

CLOSE on rHE FIRST DECADE.

CLOSE OF THE FIRST DECADE.
The first decade OF the twentieth
century will close at twelve O'Clock
tonight. It will form an interesting
aud thrilling chapter in the worlds
history. During the past ten years
president OF the United States has
been assassinated, two English soyer-
eigns have died, king and heir ap-
parent of Portugal have been ruthless
ly slain, earthquakes have caused the
death OF thousands in Sicily, floods
have caused unparalleled damage and
distress in Paris and other parts OF
France, war between Russia and Japan
has sacrificed thousands OF human
beings, while famines and pestilences
have brought untold distress in differ
ent nations. These are only some OF
the more important happenings.
Thousands have persisted in railroad
accidents, marine disasters and fires,
while automobiles and airships have
added to the long list Of horrors.
The last year OF the decade is also
an interesting chapter OF history. One
OF the most important happenings in
the United States was the dethrone-
ment last month OF the republican
long-sufering people and
determination Of the majority Of the
suffragans to again run the govern
ment on rational lines.
Before another decade the Panama
canal will have been completed while
airships will doubtless be as common
as are automobiles at present. Pocket
telephones may have become as in
dispensable as watches. and transmit
tiers and receivers OF wireless messages
may in measure have taken the
place Of telephones.
While none OF the dire calamities
prognosticated by seers and seeresses
has overtaken the human race during
the year now closing, it has made some
history nevertheless.
Alexandria in the year 1910 showed
an increase in population which shows
that the city is not at standstill.
While the exhibit was somewhat dis
appointing to many, it reiuted the SLAM
der so often heard to the effect that
Alexandria is finished city, as over
eight hundred souls have been added
TO the city's population during the past
decade, while the city has aided ma
terially in building up several suburban
towns which have helped swell the
population in Alexandria and Fairfax
counties.
During the year which closes tonight
the upper King street Improvements
have been completed, and Ring street
throughout its entire length is now as
well-paved a thoroug hfsre as any in
the world. The sewer work OF the city
has also been extended in various sec
tivns.
Our city has been immune from
storms, pestilences, and the many
troubles so common in many places in
the world, nor has our rate OF mortality
has not gone beyond the average. We
have also been spared labor riots, and
many connections which beset larger
cities, are almost as scarce in Alexan-
dria as angels visits. Hence, We have
much for which to be thankful, and
can enter upon the new year with prac-
tically nothing to distress us.
