MAYOR MAGRUDER'S
LIFE is DESCRIBED
R. Il. Harkness Reads Paper
to Oldest Inhabitants.

The life and times of the late DR..
William B. Magruder, once mayor of
Washington" was the subject of an in
teresting paper read by Robert H. Hark-
ness last night at a meeting of the As
sociation of Oldest Inhabitants, at the
old Union Engine House, Nineteenth and
H streets northwest.
According to Mr.. Harkness' sketch,
DR.. Magruder was born in Baltimore
February II, 1910. He spent his boy
hood days in Georgetown, and, after
graduating in medicine, was elected
mayor of Washington in 1856 as a candi-
date for the "Anti-Know Nothing party.
The election was a hot one, and DR..
Magruder's opponent threatened him
with personal violence, it is said.
The defeated candidate was Silas H.
Hill. DR.. Magruder was mayor during
the riots of June, 1857. After a brilliant
career as a physician, politician, phifan-
thropist, and poet, DIR. Magruder passed
away at his home in this city May 30,
1863
Mr.. Harkness interspersed his sketch of
the former mayor with a number of hu-
morous and pathetic scenes in which Dr.
Magruder played an important role. The
reading of the paper was greeted with
Upon the motion Of Judge Charles s.
Bundy, vote of thanks was extended to
Mr.. Hardness for his interesting histori-
cal and biographical pper.
The committee on the work of erecting
the new home for the association, of
which Judge Bundy is chairman. reported
tuat $3,177.5O had been contributed to de-
fray the expense,
E. o. Bowie presented the association

Robert Beall, expressing appreciation at
valentine sent to Little Marthena;' - a
letter from Mrs. Cleveland to Robert
Beall, and a letter from John G. Car
Isle, former Speaker of the House, to
Mr.. Beall
Cotter T. Bride presented the organi-
zation with a bell cast by Henry Nc
Shane, of Baltimore, out of coins and
ijewelry donated for the casting of a fac
simile of the old Liberty Bell at the
Worlds Fair in 1893 After the imita-
ION of the great bell had been cast
eIeugh surplus metal was left for the
calling of several small bells. Most of
thesy fwere sent to the pOtentates of Eu-
rope but Mr.. Bride obtained one through
his 4rtimacy with the molder.

Gov. Mann's Proclamation.

all the citizens of Virginia to set aside
the week beginning November 13, 1911,
as Coed Roads Week and asks them
TO devote their united efforts Ito the ac-
complishment of some practical result
within the zone of their influence"
Governors of all the other States in
the Union will be requested to issue SINH
lar proclamations so that the entire coun-
try may be alive with the activity Of
farmers actually engaged in the improve
ment of the public highways during that
week. It is intended to make the week
the most notable in the history of the
road NOV ement in America.

ARAB LOSS HEAVY.
Indiscriminate Slaughter Is Denied
by the Italians.

Rome, Nov 1.-Oficial letters re-
ceived here to-day from Tripoli state
that the Arab losses in recent engage
ments around Tripoli amounted to many
thousands and were due principally to
the fact that the Arabs lighting with
their well-known fanatical heroism,
threw themselves in front of the italian
guns, showing an utter contempt of
death, and a lack of knowledge OF mod
ern warfare and the power of modern
artillery.
The indiscriminate slaughter of the
Arabs by the Italians is denied. 1t is
stated that the Arabs. who, after sub
mitting to Italian rule, treacherously
attacked the Italian rear only to meet
death. Many were captured and were
executed, but not, however, until they
had been given a trial. Many OF those
who were found armed and who had
not engaged in the fighting were de-
ported.
The Italians cite the conditions of
surrender, that the Turks agreed to
give up their arms, and many of them
did so. In clearing the oasis outside
the city, about which there have been
many conflicting statements. the Ital-
ians state that they carefully removed
all inoffensive Arabs, women and chill
dren. before moving upon the recall
citrants.
Constantinople, Nov. 1.-The war min
istry gave out a report to-day that Gen.
Caneva, commanding the Italian land
forces at Tripoli, had been captured by
the Turks, but the report is not gener-
ally credited in diplomatic circles.

after their third conquest of Europe.
This is an American act that has been
