THE PIRGING.

The purging of the registration
roll is progressing satisfactorily to
all concerned; at least this surmise
is reached from the apparent re-
ioicefulness Of the Ants who, a few
days since, We're in the deepest
slough Of dependency.
When the first batch at afIidavits
was filed a few days since, some Of
The Ants, that is. the the leaders as
far as known. almost collapsed IN
fits, which condition was accelerated
towards a frenzied state Of mind,
bordering on desperation, when the
courts ruling was not to their no
ton.
Since then the leaders, as far as
known lthe main leaders are not in
evidence and have not yet been lo4
Gated have recovered their equa-
nimity and are now following in the
footsteps of The Pros in purging the
registration Of the names of ndi-
yiduals not qualified to vote.
Lei, this good work proceed.
The Pros are not selfish and are
willing to share some Of the honor
and some Of the glory attending the
purging of the registration rolls.
When the MINES OF the defend
ants and the llalnes Of the removed,
and the names OF others not entitled
70 vote but who have come from dis
tant points to vote, Shall have been
erased, it may then be SAID that the
purging has been well done. At
least the Pros will be well satisfied
with the purging.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The Reunion of Confederate Vet
Grams at Little Rock, Ark, IS OF the
past. but it will ever be recalled
pleasantly by those who enjoyed the
hospitality of its citizens, which was
unbOunded.
The attendance Of the old soldiers
was greater than had been antIcl-
pated, but all these Jared we'll and
received marked attention, especial
" from the fair and lovely sex-the
kindred of these heroes Of the Con
federacy, whose fame shall live in
glory to the end of time.
At these reunion there are incl
dents and associations extremely
pathetic.
When together, the Veterans for
get the mfirmities of their age and
for the moment the grey heads be-
come regenerated with the spirit and
ambition of youth and recall the
stirring scenes of the past when as
beardless youth, reckless of death,
they were called into action al the
command Of duty.
1t is fifty years since the Sons OF.
the South were summoned from.
their firesides in defense of their
country, and it was only after a
struggle of four years without a
parallel in history, that they yielded
to the inevitable when overwhelmed
by superior numbers, but today The
Cause for which they fought and en-
dured all the hafdships and perils
of the war is more sacred than ever.
It is a Cause each will cherish in his
heart until the last Heroes Of the
Confederary shall be summoned TO
his reward and join his comrades in
heaven.
At best The Veterans can have but
few more years allotted to them.
There are many who have reached
and passed their seventy years, and
the ages of the youngest range
from sixty-fiye years.
How sad is the reflection that the
final end must come to all these
brave men who have faced death
with fortitude on many sanginary
battlefields
And the time will come when
these annual reunions will be as
sweet memories. .embalnled in the.
hearts of kindred.
And as the end is drawing gradu-
ally to a finality, it is neither SIM
guIar nor strange that the Heroes
of the South who followed Lee and
Jackson and Johnson and other
commanders are drawn together by
the closest ties of friendship and
good will.
And as the end is inevitable, it Isl
but natural that the enthusiasm Of
the descendants of these Heroes OF
the South is manifested with re-
newed afdor at each reunion and
that cities vie with each other in
their desire to entertain the Con-
federate soldiers whose achieve
ments in war and in peace belong as
an heritage Of glory to the United
States.

BY LEWIS COMPANY HEAD
Saws Mail Order Houses Were Ex-
plotted by Brother of Post
Office Attorney.

Something of a sensation was sprung
at today's session Of the House COM
mittee on expenditures in the Post

president of the Lewis Publishing Com
pany OF st. Louis. charged that mail
order houses throughout the country

Goodwin. assistant attorney general for
the Post Office Department. Lewis
told the committee that back in 1906,
when he was starting his Peoples
United States Bank. mail order con-
Germ, he became involved with the Post
Office Department.
"A letter. he said. signed with the
name of Thomas d. Adkins of Roches-
ter, y. Y. which. it later developed
had been written by Leonard Goodwin
himself, came to me. advising me to
employ Leonard Goodwin as my coun-

tectives employed to make friends in
the ST. Louis post office he learned tina,
the post Office inspectors in ST. Louis
had been instructed from the depart

MRS. ALBERT A. TAYLOR
SUES FOR MAINTENANCE
Manager of Barber Supply
Firm Gives $500 Bond Pend
ing Outcome of Suit.

Justice Wright today directed the ar
rest OF Albert A. Taylor. manager of
the American Barber Supply Company of
1909 E street northwest and that he give
$500 bonds to insure his stay within the
District pending the determination of
suit for maintenance filed by his wife,
Elizabeth V Taylor. The court also
cited Taylor to show cause next Wednes-
day why he should not pay alinony to
the wife.
The Taylors were married more than
thirty-four years ago at Ocean Grove.
n. j., and have two sons, aged thirty
two and thirty years. They lived at
Ocean Grove and Asbury Park until
the spring of 1905, when the husband
is alleged to have left the home of
the wife and removed to Contee. Md.
Here the defendant entered into bust
ness Of digging and marketing sand
and gravel until two years ago. when
he removed to this District. While liv-
ing at Contee. the wife says, her hus-
band was domiciled at the home of
Mrs. Floried II. Killers.
Recovered $4,000 Damages.
Mrs. Taylor said she visited her hus-
band at Contee in the summer of 1905
and tried to persuade him to live with
her. She said her husband refused to
leave the Killers home. The wife says
she sued Mrs. Killers in Prince Georges
county and recovered judgment for $4,000
for alienation OF the affections Of her
husband.

she entered suit in Maryland for a linn
tied divorce and secured a temporary
order for alfmony. To avoid this order.

Maryland and took up his abode in the
District of Columbia.

wife tells the court, she fears he will
leave this jurisdiction to avoid alimony

parture.

WTKOWSM WOULD TAP
WASHINGTON MAINS
Mayor of Glen Echo Asks Per-
mission to Relieve Pres
ent Conditions.

Mayor Witkowski OF Glen Echo today
appealed by letter to the Secretary of
War for permission to tap the Washing
ton water mains on the Conduit road over
which the War Department has iurisdic-
tion SO that the people of Glen Echo may
have water. The water in Glen Echo is
turned off today.
The mayor makes his plea on the ground
Of humanity. and declares that as thou
sands Of residents Of Washington have
helped use up the water supply of Glen
Echo at the amusement park there, it is
only fair that the people of the town be
allowed the use of the Washington water
supply in their time of need.
He does not ask that the amusement
company be allowed the use of any Of
this water.
Mayor Witkowski has also written to
the senator's and representatives from
Maryland asking them to urge the Sec
rotary of War to grant this request.
The mayor went to Rockville today and
appealed In person to States Attorney
Bowie F. Waters to prevent the waste
Of water at Glen Echo Park. He asked
for authority to guard the water supply
and the right to close up the park Fri
day if the water is not conserved. In
making his appeal the mayor said that
the situation was assuming alarming pro-
portions and that the residents in the
northern end of Glen Echo had been
without water since SUNDAY.
Weiner Loses Place.
Charging that Town Marshal Frank
Weiner connived at violations of the Sun
day closing laws at Glen Echo Park,
Mayor Witkowski took his job away
from him yesterday. In answer to the
demand that he himself resign Mayor
Witkowski has made counter demand
for the resignation of the leader of his
opponents, John a. Garrett. town clerk
and treasurer and former mayor of
Glen Echo.
l.. f. Schloss, manager of the amuse-
ments park has ISSUED a statement in
regard to the trouble. in part as follows:
"Glen Echo Park is not going to close,
but will continue to cater to the local
public until the end of the current season,
and for many seasons afterward, no mat
Ter what the outcome may be Of the Sum-
day question.
II do hope those in power are sincere in
their avowed intention OF prosecuting all
violators OF the Sunday law. as 1T would
seem pity to single out and close sin
gle legitimate and properly conducted
pleasure resort.
despite false statements to the con-
trary, there IS absolutely no connection
between the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Glen Echo
Park Company, and the attempt to draw
the traction company into this contro-
versy can be attributed only to petty po-
litical intriguers.
