THREE HUNDRED MEN
EXECUTED.

Three hundred met, who participat-
ed in the recent mutiny at Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, we're sumlnarily executed and
their bodies consigned to sea, according
to the statements made by officers ot
the British steamer King George, whicl
arrived at Gulfport, Miss, Thursday
night from South American ports.
The King George was at Rio Janeirc
during the mutinys In the lombard
ment of the city the steamer came neal
being struck by shell. The vesse
was in such position that at the time
the shots passed very close to her ant
at one time it was thought that it
would be necessary to hoist anchor
and move, but the line Of fire changing
again, it was decided to remain.
Five war vessels OF the Brazilian
government and the forts on the main
land bombarded the island for whole
day, the surrender not taking place un'
til O'Clock in the afternoon. Tht
next day 800 of the captured rebels
we're taken out to sea on board battle
ship and executed and their bodie:
thrown overheard.

SCHAIK TO BE PARoLED.

Capt. William H. Van Schaick, OF
the steamboat Gen. Slocum, is to be
paroled. He is serving sentence OF
ten years in Sing Sing prison at hard
labor for misconduct, negligence, and
inattention to duty as master Of the
Slocum. The boat burned to the water s
edge on June Is, 1904 off North
Brother Island, in the East river, with
the loss OF more than 1000 lives.

it was learned that he is not opposed to

OF the burned steamer. The captain is
over seventy-five years OF age, and has
served more than one.third Of his sem
tence. The president of the parole
board in Washington, it is understood,
has decided to recommend to the at
torney general that Capt. Van schaick

Dr.. ". M. Smith, of this city
member OF the state board Of health
from the Eighth congressional district,
has notified the state health depart
ment that officials in charge Of the car
service Of the Southern Railway main
lines are fully conforming to the health
regulations recently promulgated by
the department. DR.. Smith has been
frequently consulted by the railroad
men as to the construction of the
regulations and bis suggestions have
been uniformly followed, with the re-
suit that the service OF the Southern,
on its main line, has greatly inn
proved.
According to Health Commissioner
Ennion G. Williams, other railroads
OF the state are also meeting the re.
Quirements and there is every reason
to believe that the sanitary condition
of the trains in the state will soou te
satisfactory. Details regarding each
railway will be reported as soon as they

In the dense fog which enveloped the

collision occurred between the ferry
steamers Norfolk County and Elizabeth
of the Norfolk-Berkeley route, and
while the Elizabeth was seriously
damaged, none .of the large number OF
passengers aboard were injured.
Several people we're thrown to the floor
of the cabin by the terrific impact, and
every one was badly frightened.
The fact that no one on the Eliza

due to the presence OF mind OF q deck

DEATH OF DIR. wHITsETT.

Rev. DR.. William Heth Whitset'
died at his home in Richmond yester'
day afternoon in the SEVENTEEN yeal
OF his age. He leaves widow, one son
". B. Whitsett, of Baltimore, and
daughter, Mrs. Howard G. Whitehead,
of Richmond.
Rev. DIR. Whitsett, native OF Ten.
nessee, was one of the most noted
diyines and scholars Of the Baptist
denomination of the south. He was
dashing cayalrymen under General
Forrest in the civil war and afterward
fillod many prominent pulpits. Then
he became professor in the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary and
succeeded Rev. DR.. John A. Broaddus
as president of that famous institution.
While president of the seminary DR..
Whitsett wrote for q leading encyclo-
pedia q short article on the Baptist
Church and faith which greatly offend
ed the Baptists known in church
parlance as the 'landmakers,' in that
the article set forth that Baptists did
not generally practice immersion as a
mode Of baptism until several centurie:
after Christ. This created great dis
cussion in Baptist circles and publ
cations, the ''landmarkers" bitterly
criticising DR.. Whitsett's views, while
progressive Baptists indorsed him.
The controversy, which continued
for two years, threatened to damage
the seminary and so annoyed DR.,
Whitsett that ne resigned the presidency
and became a professor in Richmond
College, y Baptist institution OF Rich
mond.
Last spring DR.. Whitsett retired
owing to increasing years, and in
firmities.

 WITH FEW ARRESTS
WRITES LETTER TO- MEMBERS OF POLICE DEPARTMENT AT CEN TRAIL STATION THANKING MEM BERs FOR DISCRETION

Chief Bodeker is greatly pleased with the result of his efforts to decrease the number of arrests and has written let ter to the department thanking them for their efforts.
 The letter is as follows.
 Police Department, Centra, Station. Gentleinen-I feel would fall short of my duty if I failed to compliment the members of this precinct for the good showing made in the reduction of ar rests. It certainly demonstrates that the city has competent men in this precinct Yet I would be glad to see still further reduction in the number of arrests for February. Remember, as I have told you before, use your discretion in minor of- lenses and if possite avoid making an arrest. If any criticism arises you may rest assured of my support, I hope that every member of this precinct will use every effort to help me carry out the plan that l term the Common Sense Policy" by reducing the mum Der of ar rests in frivolous cases
 With highest esteem for each and every one of you, am yours respectfully,
 GEORGE H. BODEKER,
 Chief of Police.
