The preliminary examination in
State VS.. Leander took place Monday
in City Hall. before Justice Maxson.
States Attorney Duell appeared for
the State and Attorney Sampson for
the defendant. After examining sever.
al witnesses, Mr.. Duell called to the
stand A. P. Blonde who was present,
apparently reporting for the ;'son of
York" MI. Blonde refused to take
the stand, said he wasn't subpoenaed
and that he didn't take the stuff. He
left the court room suddenly. The
state issued subpoena for him. De-
putty Noonan was given the paper to
serve. He returned and reported he
could not find Blonde, that he never
saw such a. place as that under the
Gram Block so many holes that. If
they wanted the witness, he would
have to get Jack to stand at the front
door so he,. the deputy; could search
the basement. Y No further effort was
made. The justice dismissed the case
at $3.50 or. Whereabouts. Il .l%.l. 5E

THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

5 Our own former Senator Hansbrough
has kindly given the Inter-Ocean one
of the first copies of his new book,
ss<The Second Amendment, which is
fresh from the press. Reading is be-
Ieving that the political novel will be
notable, for it is all that advance no.
tices have promised it to be- The
Inter-Ccean glories in the fact that the
new book is not only from the pen of
a former senator, but Devils Laker,
and better still from an editor who's
pen years ago guided the career of this
paper which perhaps gave some inspir-
alton to the novelist in "The Second
Amendment"
"a. AS one has played the game" for
twenty years might well be expected
to depict American polital life in its
real colors, former Senator H. C. Hans
brough has given us vigorous and
entertaining novel, "The Second
Amendment" (The Hudson Publishing
Co, Minneapolis Minn.) action vivid,
while the argument is literally thread
ed with relistic romance, considerable
cheerful humor and much comprehen-
Sive and practical altruism. The two
characters that dominate the story,
/ while they are almost always with
their backs to the audience, reflect the
high light of the tale, particularly in
the closing chapters. where psycholo-
gists will find support for their theories
Ia regard to the influence of mind over
matter
! Readers of 1.-The Second Amendment
will also discover the existence of
some dramitic possibilities even in
that staid and dignifed body the Uni
ted States Senate, which so many au-
thors have failed to turn to account in
realistic fiction. Mr.. Hansbroughs
long service in the body has been of
much advantage to him in this regard
One of the unusual features of "The
Second Amendment" will be found in
the somewhat ruthless way in which
the author disposes of the two exist
ing political parties and the naive
assumption that the ..Altrocratic'
party is to be the vehicle of real re-
Form, the new regenerative force in
public affairs. There is certain plau-
s:ssibiHty III the process by which this
rs brought about that seems to give
\ the new party a real existence .$s1>

Something ought to be done this
ear towards raising grass on the space
between the curb and the sidewalk
around the library and the public
schools. 1t is quite difficult prhaps
at the schools because the children
seem to think this space is to play on,
but the library should not be neglected.
We have a pretty and quite costly
public library but it reminds one now
of man with SIS suit and a pair Of
shoes with all his toes out. We under
stand the library is short of funds.
Someone should start a subscription
fund and see that this matter is cared

W. R. Gray, who was mentioned in
these columns recently, related the fol.
lowing about his grandson, Willie:
They used to live ip Minneapolis and
on one occasion grandpa and Willie
spent Sunday in st. Paul, attended
church ando listened to good long
sermon on the text from st. Paul to
the Romans, On returning home little
Willie seemed to be in a gloomy mood.
His grandpa asked him If he hadn't
enjoyed the day. Willie replied he had
but he thought that the minister was
Mt fair, because he was continually
praising up st. Paul and didn't say a
word about Minneapolis. ; 5.5 s. s. i 4

went to sleep again. The third time
she saw the same officers sitting at a
gambling table, saw door open and
an excited messenger appear in the
doorway. The startled officers sudden

The household was again alarmed, the

WATERMELONS PLENTIFUL.
Season So Far Has Been Equal t,
the Average.

Despite the predictions that the water
melon crop this year would be a poor
one, the season SO far has been up to the
average and the melons Of superior quail
ity. SO that it looks like a hot. dry sum-
mer is one in which melons thrive best.
There were lying at the wharf market
this morning, foot OF nth street. about
fifteen vessels. whose combined cargoes
were over $1,000 melons. and other ves-
sells with the fruit aboard were expected
to arrive during the day.
AS a general thing the receipts of
watermelons begin to fall off about the
1st of September. but judging from the
way they are being brought into port the
season will last two weeks or possibly
longer, and oyster and watermelon craft
will be seen lying side by side at the
wharf market. While the supply has been
good. the demand has kept pace through
out the season, and at no time has there
, been any indication of an overstocked
market. Prices have kept we'll up. and
this morning they were selling at from
s. to $40 per hundred.
This Is stated to be the lowest price at
which selected melons have sold this sea-
son.

Grove at 18th and Columbia Road

10 tue Eultor OF Inc Star-
AS q member of the special committee
on Fairgrounds of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association and chairman of its
committee on public buildings and parks.
/ am deeply interested in all business
affecting the continuation of the play
grounds project, and that having to do
with parks. Hence, / am very much
concerned about the notice that has been
served upon the Fairgrounds management
that the grove at the corner of Columbia
road and 14th street must be vacated by
the 22d of September. 1 have not been
informed to what place the amusement
outfit will be removed, or whether or not
1t will be reinstalled anywhere on the
heights
For the past fifteen years efforts in
some form or other have been put forth
by the citizens of the heights having In
view the purchase of the grove of oaks
at the intersection of Columbia road and
14th street, to be devoted to the public
welfare, but all to no purpose and it
looks now that the stately trees are
to be sacrificed to mems sordid greed Of
pelf
The District Commissioners have been
appealed to in vain, and Congress will
not act without Endorsement of the Com
missioners. Ii is out of the question to
expect any syndicate of business men to
purchase the grove as an investment, be-
heving that the citizens of the heights
will secure, by private contributions, the
amount of financial return expected by
the investors.
There is but one way left by which the
grove of oaks in question can be secured
and perpetuated to the public good, and
that Is by some kindly disposed wealthy
citizen of Washington or the country at
large purchasing the land. designating it
park TO bear the name of the purchas-
er. and dedicating it for all time to the
public welfare, thereby establishing a
memorial that will endure as long is the
heights themselves.
IL would be a deplorable sacrilege
should the oaks be removed. / make this
final appeal to those who love their fell
low-men. to those who possess a pub
lie spirit and who could we'll afford to set
aside the monetary consideration in
