The Conviction OF Mylius.

Paris, Feb. 3.-Stung by the criti-
cism that he did not use some OF his
great wealth in the defense of Edward
F. Myths, who was convicted Wednes-
day of criminally libelling King George,
Edward Holton James, publisher OF
the Liberator, today declared that no
amount of money or legal counsel could
have saved Myths, who was his London
agent.
The whole trial was monstrous
travesty," James said. The authori-
ties we're determined to send Myths to
prison and they set the law at naught
to accomplish this. From the demand
ing of bail OF 500, 600 to the last act OF
the trial, the procedure was marked Ivy
illegal tactics. The publication OF the
Liberator will 60 on just the same"

Baseball Hall Of Fame.

Chicago, Feb, S.-The Baseball Hal
OF Fame, to which the names OF two
players vii! be admitted every year,
was founded here today by Hugh
Chalmers, the Detroit automobile
manufacturer.
Instead of giving automobiles to the
two best batsmen in the two big
leagues, Mr.. Chalmers this year will
give autos to the two most valuable
players in the two leagues. This will
give baseball a real Hall OF Fame, as
serts Chalmers, for before one can win a
place he will have to be a versatile and
finished player in most every depart
Inent.
The selection OF the two players
annually is be left to committee OF

App0nTInNslENT BILL.

Despite vigorous fight made By
the New York delegation, the repub!l-
can caucus OF members of the House
held last night decided to pass a re-
apportionment bill at this session Of
Congress based on the new census.
The New York republicans opposed
the passage of any bill at this session
because it will give the democratic
legislature chance to redistrict New
York State upon new lines and may
mean the loss OF S or 10 seats in the
legislature now held by republicans
under the old gcrrymandcr. The vote
by which the caucus decided to put
through bill at this time was 80
to As.
The feature OF the causus was the
fight to reduce the representation in
Congress OF the southern States which
have enacted lcgislatisn DISTINGUISHING
negro votes.
After long debate the caucas de-
cided to bring in bill providing for
exactly the present membership Of the
House, SOL Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, Wisconsin,
and Maine would lose one each; Mis-
souri, would lose two. New York, Cal
ifornia, Oklahoma and Washing would
gain tw each; Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Texas, Montana, Utah and Oregon

Fire in Baltimore.

Baltimore, Feb. 9.-A fire that
lighted up the harbor and city for
miles swept away the new pier Of the
Old Bay line, Light street wharyes,
early this morning. The entire super
structure of Offices and the big tower
were wiped out, and the main portion
OF the pier, filed with freight, was
Quilted.
The heat on Light street kept every
one a full block distant, while tugboats
scurried to snatch vessels away and out
into the harbor for safety. The pier,
which was practically covered with
sheet copper, was built in 1900 at an
outlay OF 100000. The damage TO
the pier is estinaiad at $780, 900. The
damage to the freight will amount to
about $4,000.

Died from His Wound,

New York, Feb. 3.-Seyen- year-old
Thomas Kennedy died early today in
Cumberland Street Hospital in Brook
Ign from bullet wound. Fiye-year-
old Joseph Britton~is in critical con-
dition at the same institution as the
result of wound made by the same
bullet. Locked up in the Children's
Society is a terrified eleven-year.olG
girl, Marian Riddle, who is accused by
the police of having fired the fatal shot.
She tearfully protests her innocence, but
the detectives who have questioned her
say that she has admitted having had
the revolver in her hand. Little Joe
Britton says Marian shot him.
The accident, for the authorities
agree that the shooting was an accident,
is directly traceable to the shooting OF
strike breaker in Brooklyn yesterday.
The man who did the shooting is be-
lieved to have thrown his revolver into
vacant lot where it was found by the
Riddle girl while at play. There was
pile of sand in the lot.
Late Yesterday the two boys, Marian
Riddle, and 10-year-old Joseph Ken
ned, were playing game-"Mama
| and Papa'-and the two boys ran
away The girls went in search for
them and few minutes later pisto!
shot was heard. The Britton boy, with
blood streaming down his face from a
wound 10 his head, ran to his home.
He gasped out that Marian had shot
him and collapsed. The Kennedy boy
vas lying in the street. Atthe hospital
two wounds we're found in bis neck
where the bullet had entered and pass
ed out lodging in the Britton boy 5
head.
The two girls were arrested, and a.
though they denied they had had the
revolver, they told conflicting stories.
The Riddle girl, however, admitted
seeing the weapon lying in the vacant
lot and she was sent to the Children's
Society to await the action of the
coroner.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING. FEE. 3

THE importance of one vote was
clearly shown in the Senate yesterday.
When the ship subsidy bill came up on
its final passage the vote stood 50 to 81.
Senator Watson the new senator from
West Virginia, had he been III the
Senate would have made the vote 30 to
50 and his vote would have meant de-
feat for subvention lin the Senate.
By his absence from his seat the
vote was q tic, and Vice Fresl-
dent Sherman promptly voted in the
affirmative and saved the day. Mr..
. Watson was in the Senate chamber Tor
only few moments during the session
and voted on only one roll-call. THIS
vote was cast on an amendment offered
by Mr.. Shiyely, Of Indiana, regulating
the aggregate expenditures which may
be made under the terms OF the bill.
On this provision the new West Nir-
ginia senator cast his votei in the affirm
atiye, thus indicating his opposition to
the measure. After casting this vote
he disappeared, and when the next bal
lot was taken Mr.. Scott, his republican
colleague, announced Mr.. Watson's
absence, saying that he was away on
important business" The important
business was a luncheon which Mr.
Watson was attending in the basement
of the Senate and he declined to heed
the bells which announced that vote
was being taken on the bill After the
final result became known the oppo-
nsnts Of the bill, including al OF the
democrats realized that Mr.. WatSon's
absence had prevented the defeat OF
the bill. He was the only democrat
present during any Of the roll calls
whose vote was not cast against the
measure. Mr.. Watson made bad
beginning Of his senatorial career.
