POLICE BOARD TO
DECIDE ON WAGON
FOR ALEXANDRIA
Question to Come Up Soon.
Present System Wastes
Time, Men Say.
:. WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA. VA. July II


II Is expected that the necessity for
the maintenance of a patrol wagon in
Alexandria will shortly be brought to
the attention of the board of police
commissioners. 1t has been frequently
set forth that an officer, making an ar
rest in the extreme limits of the city,
is forced to lose much valuable time,
as well as leaving his district without
protection, wren he is compelled to
walk all the way to the station house
with his prisoner.
While this fact is admitted. some
doubt is expressed as to whether the
city fathers will sanction this plan
when the cost of maintenance is taken
into consideration, and it will probably
die a natural death, along with the
scheme to place bicycle or motorcycle
officer on the force.
Ernest Meyer, the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac special6 6officer,
who is accused of having shot Walter
jackson, a negro, and of making
threats to shoot c. E. Crown for inter-
fering while he was attempting to ar
rest Jackson at the Union Station Fri
day night, was brought before Justice
Stuart in Fairfax county yesterday aft
ernoon and released on bond. Meyer
refused to make any statement in the
Alexandria court yesterday morning as
to the. circumstances of the affair.
When taken to police headquarters Fri
day night, however, he is alleged to
have asserted that while attempting to
arrest the negro for trespassing, that
the latter drew a match box from his
hip pocket and snapped it at him,
and being under the impression that
1t was a gun, drew his own weapon and
fired in self-defense.
The negro is still confined tosAlexan-
drta Hospital.
Starting Tuesday morning, Unabating
war will be waged on the hundreds of
dogs which now infest the city, for the
official dog catcher will on that day
make his rounds, gathering up all un-
licensed animals.
Funeral services for Miss Rose c.
Curtis will be held from her late resi-
dence, 723 Gibbon street at o'clock
this afternoon, the Rev. P. Parker
Phillips officiating. Interment will be
made Union Cemetery.
John R Jasper, who died at the Con-
federate Veterans Home yesterday,
will be buried from the Confederate
Hail. on Prince street, at o'clock to-
morrow. The services will be conduct
ed by the Rev. w. F. Watson.

A Rare Political Treat.

The topic for discussion at the COM
ing annual meeting dinner of the Acad-
emy of Political Science next week in
New York will be The relation of
government to business" and the two
guests of honor are to be Judge Gary,
head of the steel trust, who told the
Stanley investigating committee last
June that a prosecution OF the steel
trust would be an outrage after Mr..
Roosevelt had approved the Tennessee
Coal deal, and Attorney General Wick
ersham, who now is trying to dissolve
the trust, and who assured a House
committee last May that courts are
becoming more and more willing to
convict violators of the Sherman law.
Will it not be a festive occasion to
watch these two gentlemen drink each
others health? The dinner will present
notable gathering. John Hays Ham,
mond, head of the League of Republi-
can Clubs, and mining expert, will also
speak, together with George w. Fer
kins, who is now devoting his time to
study of economic problems. Then
there are to be present J. Pierpont Nor
gan, Elihu Root. and Francis Lynde
Stetson, as members of the advisory
council of the academy
The subject to be discussed, the re-
lation of government to business, is the
very thing in which these gentlemen
just now are most deeply interested.
1t remains to be seen how heterogeneous
interests will be handled by the speakers
at good-fellowship gathering and in
a manner beftting the high sounding
name of the society they have the
honor TO represent.

American Cardinals.

In the list of cardinals to be created
by the Pope at the next consistory the
locality the nominees and the great
recognition given the Catholic Church
in the United States are significant fea-
lures. 1t is pleasing to know that the
Vatican has departed from its usual GUS
tom of giving Italy the preference
when naming princes of the church.
Hitherto it has been the almost in
variable rule to ignore representatives
of other nations, and when exceptions
were made, strictly Catholic countries
like France, Austria-Hungary, and Ba-
varia were favored.
When the seat of the papacy was at
Avignon a majority of the cardinals
were French. Upon the return of the
Popes to Rome, Italy regained its old
ascendency in the Sacred College and
has maintained it ever since There
are now nearly 100000 communicates
of the Catholic Church in this country,
gained through individual efforts and
not through governmental sanction, as
in foreign countries 1t is no wonder,
therefore, that the eyes of the Vatican
are being turned toward the United
States.
Amid so many whose claims to pre-
fernent were so equal, the task of Sc
Letting three eminent Catholics was a
delicate and embarrassing one All
Americans, regardless of creed, will,
however, concede that the choice has
been we'll bestowed Archbishops Far
ley and O'Connell and Mgr. Falconio
enjoy high reputation for ability and
religious character and learning. Their
promotion meets with universal COM

UPHOLDS SAFETY
APPLIANCE LAW
Offense Committed Within
State eLines to Be Punished.

The United States Supreme Court yes
terday in an opinion by Justice Van De-
vanter, which was unanimously concur
red in, upheld the constitutionality Of
the safety appliance act of March, 1903,
The case was argued at the last term
of the court. It arose in the United
States District Court for the Northern
district of Alabama. The government
proceeded against the Southern Railway
in a civil action to recover penalties for
the failure of the railroad company to
equip certain cars with safety appn-
ances. The railroad defended on the
ground that three of the cars were NOV
ing in intrastate traffic, and were not
connected with cars in interstate traffic.
The real issue was as to the power OF
Congress to require the use of automatic
couplers or other safety appliances on
highways of commerce used in inter-
state commerce. The court holds that
Congress has power to require the safety
appliances on the railroads engaged in
interstate commerce, regardless of
whether the traffic carried by tntrastate
or interstate.
And this is so,'' says the opinion,
mot because Congress possesses any
power to regulate intrastate commerce
as such, but because its power to regu-
late interstate commerce is plenary and
competently may be executed to secure
the safety of the persons and property
Transported therein and of those who
are employed, in such transportation, no
matter what may be the source of the
danger which threatens It."

Newspapers for the People.

The death of Joseph Pulitzer affords
an opportunity to comment upon the
vital factor in his success as a news
paper editor and publisher. Much has
been said and much will be said con-
cerning his ability and energy, but, after
all, his achievement was largely due to
the fact that he made the New York
World the champion of the cause of the
people.
1t has been we'll said by Mr. Hearst
that Mr. Pulitzer came from the peo-
pie, understood the aims and aspira-
tions of the people, sympathized with
the sentiments of the people, and la
bored to express in his newspapers the
popular need and the popular will" II
was the recognition of democracy in
its broadest sense that gave his news
papers their wide influence and circu-
lation. 1t may be true that he was the
author of the so-called sensational Jour
nalism, but this does not detract from
the fact that he fought for the people
in every cause that tended to aid hu-
manity. Even when he became a rich
man and his fortune was invested in
stocks and bonds OF corporations, he
did not change his point of view He
did not share the timorous view of many
wealthy men regarding the enlargement
of individual rights. He attacked, if
need be, the very corporations whose Sc
curities he had purchased, nor did he
hesitate to give publicity to news which
might have the effect of depreciating
his holdings. In other words, wealth
did not change the democrat into an
aristocrat
The greatest newspapers of to-day
are the papers of the people Journals
which fail to fight steadily and heartily
for popular rights cannot hope to be-
come monumental successes. The great
mass Of American citizenship is the
bone and sinew of the nation, and when
it finds any newspaper bravely and hon
estly striving for its protection and ad
vancement it will reciprocate in ten
fold fashion

THE ANTI-TAFT CAMPAIGN.
Mystery of It's Purpose Leads to
Interesting Comment.

From the New York Sun.
It is quite certain that the treasury
Of the anti-Taft campaigners in Wash
ington has had some notable re-enforce-
ment within the past few days, and odd
ly enough quite a number of the active
workers are telling their friends that
they do not expect to nominate Mr. La
Toilette next year. 1t is practicable to
draw at least two conclusions from these
premises. One is that the anti-Taft ranks
are gaining some fruitful accessions and
the other is that a stalking horse Of one
kind or another is in training. What Mr..
La Follette's purpose Is would be diff
cult to say. There seems no doubt, how
ever, that the anti-Taft canvass is gain
ing strength, and that the strength is
not purely academic may he inferred
from the volume of money that is being
kept in motion. Nor is it only the activ-
ity at headquarters that attracts atten-
ton. Rumors come from the South to
the effect that even those perfectly drilled
corporal's guards called the Republican
party in those States are not to be de-
pended on. They have been the objects
of Mr. Hitchcock's tenderest care. the
products of his most sedulous cultiva-
ton, the pride of his young enthusiasm,
and he is one of Mr.. Taft's political
family. Mr.. Hitchcock himself has van
ished from the Capital, and wild, de-
moralizing reports are heard to the effect
that he is about to retire from the Cab
met and "go into business somewhere
else.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
By A. NJ. MACY.
WHERE THE SPANISH KINGS
ARE BURIED.


Twenty-seven miles from Mad
rid, on a bleak height, surround
ed by a sterile and gloomy wild
erness, stands the EscoriaI, one
of the most remarkable build
ings in Europe. It is 7s6 feet
long and 623 feet wide, with tall
towers at the angles. 1t COM
prises at once a convent,
church, a palace, and a mausc-
leum. On August 10. 1857. the
spaniards gained a great victory
over the French at st. Quentin,
and the Spanish King, Philip II.
had the building erected in COM
memoration OF the event. AS
the battle occurred on st. Lau-
rence's Day. he had the building
designed to resemble the famous
gridiron on which st. Laurence
suffered martyrdom by being
roasted to death. The work was
begun in 1863. and continued for
more than twenty years. The
building contains a vast number
Of treasures-painting eulp-
lures, manuscripts, &c. Among
them Is a life-size figure Of
Christ on the Cross, done in
ivory by Benvenuto Cellini. AS
1t stands to-day. the Escorial and
its contents represent an outlay
of more than $1O,O0O.OOO. Here
lie the bodies of all the Spanish
Kings since the Emperor Charles
V. except Philip V and Ferdi-
nand vi.

The Inwardness of China's Revolt

One of the off-shoots of dollar di-
plouacy"-especially of the American
brands the present Chinese revolu-
ton. 1t may seem strange and illogical
to attribute Oriental insurgency and un-
rest to the selfish and sordid en-
croachmcnt of Europe in the affairs of
China. In broad sense. revolution in
the great empire of the East is but one
more manifestation Of a worldwide po-
litical upheaval; an upheaval which has
cost a throne in Portugal, has hum
bled the lords in England, has stinu-
lated the mighty growth of socialism
in France and in Germany. There is
another and more vital relation, how
ever, between the Chinese revolution
and Europe
Eleven years ago, at the climax of
the Boxer trouble, when China was
almost able to throw off the intolerable
yoke of the Manchu dynasty, Europe
promptly stepped in to check this dan
gerous progressivism. The great pow
ers in 1900 dreaded nothing more than
disintegration in China. They wished
to preserve the status quo, and conse-
quently they sent the allied army to
Pekin on the theory, not that they were
at war with China, but that they were
aiding the Chinese government to main
tain itself against insurgents in posses
sion of its capital 1t was a transpar-
ent diplomatic fiction, but it was
convenient and had its subsequent uses.
The result was the restoration of the
Manchu dynasty by the foreign powers,
but under conditions which made it viz
tually the subservient tributary of the
governments that signed the convention
of Pekin in 1901.
The carrying out of the policy of the
great powers, involving the large for
eign loans and contracts of the past
three years, and the obvious foreign
control of the Manchu dynasty, has
been more directly responsible for the
present Chinese revolution than any
other factor. 1t is a notable fact, how
ever, that the Chinese revolutionists
are not committing The mistake made by
their predecessors, the Boxers. They
are not endangering foreign property or
Lives. Under no legitimate pretext at

An endless chain telephone campaign
committee has been formed by women
prominent in Brooklyn society to insure
the election of Russell Benedict, who
has been nominated for the Supreme
Court on the Republican ticket. Every
woman on the committee will each and
