THE BULLETIN STRUNG"

Seemingly at tie Bulletins expense,

some or the Bulletins criticisms OF
the last few days. There is nothing
wrong in this. in the abstract. II is
commonly accepted principle OF law
and justice that every accused man IL
entitled to as strong a defense as
truth and the law viii permit. But the
Citizen in this efse follows the very
dubious practice that has been SO
common In our circuit court and in
other circuit courts, of presenting an
artificial case to the Jury based
on a dab OF truth and a gush Of false
hood, with the result that justice has
niscarred. The Bulletin Is not in

to assume that instead Of conven-

suffers rather from IAN excess of
youth and rush of reflection to the

the motorboat was sunk and Alexander
Yellowess drowned off Alexandria, was
laid 0. the Culprit Fay in the findings
of the naval general board OF inquiry,
made public yesterday by Secretary OF
the Navy George Won L. Meyer. The
verdict of the board reyerses the find
ings of the coroner's jury, which de-
cided that the collision was unayoida
BILE.
The decision is as follows:
The naval board OF inquiry ap.
pointed to investigate the collision be-
tween the dispatch boat Dolphin and
the motorJoat Culprit Fay on May y
last decides that the accident was due
to the Culprit Fay, which put helm to
starboard instead Of to port Immediate
" before she struck the Dolphin. Had
the Culprit Fay put her helm to port
the accident would have been avoided.
We find that the Dolphin was neither
Immediately nor remotely responsible
for the accident, and that every pre-
caution was used to prevent the &C
cident. As tho Culprit Fay was solely
and entirely responsible for the collision
we recommend that all further pro-
ceedings 10 the matter be dropped. "
The placing OF the responsibility for
the collision on the Culprit Fay is
another argument, naval officers de-
clare, in favor OF the recent plan to
license all motorboats. The decision OF
the board is based on the undenlable
propositions that the Dolphin was pro-
ceeding up stream with all lights burn
ing, which should have Eeen visible to
any craft on the river; that the Culprit
Fay changed her direction when within
a short distance Of the larger vessel,
and ran directly toward her; and that
at the noment preceding the collision
Lindsay turned the boats helm the
wrong way.
Commander Marsh, chairman OF the
board Of inquiry, also stated that laws
should be enacted requiring all owners
of motorboats tn pass an examination
in efficiency before they are allowed to
take their craft IN the river.

THE LATE MRS. WOOD.

Mrs. Robert /. Wood whose deatl
occurred at an early hour yesterday
morning at her residence in Alexan
dria was most interesting personality
ard her home vas the centre of many
gatherings of notable people connected
with the social and diplomatic life o.
Alexandria and Washington.
As Melissa A. Hussey, only daugh
ter Of Captain Samuel B. Husssy anC
SibyI Durham Hussey, of Portland
Maine, Mrs. Woods girlhood was spent
in travel over the world upon Captain
Hussey's merchant ships. which I'M
usual life gave her an inexhaustable
store OF information and anecdote,
making her a most brilliant and fasci'
mating conversationalist.
Three wears Of world wandering we're
filled with excitement and romance and
Mrs. Woods personal "reminiscences
would form several volumes OF COM
polling interest.
Captain Hussey was man of great
refinement and an incessant reader,
which taste he was able to crafty to
an unusual degree as master Of his own
ships. consequently his only daughter
was trained in all the accomplishment
of the times, music, painting, embroid-
Ing and most unusual skill in modelling
in wax we're but some Of the arts Of
which she was mistress.
In 1857, the late Robert l.. Wood
brought Miss Hussey to Alexandria as
bride, where short time afterwards
a large and handsome residence sur
rounded by gardens Of choice fruit and
flowers was bought by Captain HusseY
and given to Mrs. Wood. Here we're
born two children. both OF whom sur
vive. Mrs. Ida NJ. Hill, wife Of the
late Geo. R. Hill and Mr. Frank E
Smoot, wife of ]. Clinton Smoot, esd,
also several grand and great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Wood was the soul of hosnl-
tality and her home was nearly always
filled with guests or some Of her many
relatives. who were made welcome and
entertained with such rare tact and
ever ready courtesy that as friend and
hostess she will long be remembered.

that made me negligent about eX-
Getting a bunt was that pitched a
fast curve ball, and one hardly would
expect a poor bunter to try to poke
down one OF that sort. He did, how
eyer, and dropped little fly ball per.
haps fifteen feet down the third base
line and perhaps six or seven feet In
on fair ground. If the ball had been
hunted on the ground the play never
could have happened The runner on

ALEXANDRIA MAKES POOR SHOW
ING.

Alexandria gave another miserable
exhibition in the field yesterday and
to this were added several bits OF
wonderfully slow thinking. In fact
some of the boys appeared to forget
they were IN the game. These falllngs
offset the best hitting the team has done
this year.
Thirteen hits we're made by the
visitors, yet neither Anderton nor
Birrell was batted hard. No one oil
the FIVE runs made off Burrell in the
sixth should have been scored. The
same is true Of the runs in the second,
while Anderton was pitching.
The good individual work was lost
sight OF in the general confusion Of
errors, yet there were several excellent
plays made. Snowden's one hand
catch OF wild throw, an unassisted
double play by Lynch, double play
from Patterson to Burrell and the work
Of 1renary, second, we're worthy OF
mention.
Schrivener and Snowden, with three
hits each, led AT the bat. Score:

The American League race is once
more close and as expected the Ath-
letics are gradually wearing down the
great lead Detroit secured in the
srring. Since the second game play
ed by Philadelphia in Detroit, the
Tigers have won 9 and lost 10. while
Nacks men have won S and lost >.
Detroit's eastern "trip not only shows
jennings pitching staff TO be weak,
| but his men have not hit as hard as
they did in the west. II is true that
Detroit misses Gainor at first, but it
must be remembered that Mack was
without the services of Collins for
somtime and Bender has pitched but
one game in three weeQs.
There is no doubt that a rule pro-
hibiting trades between major Lea
que teams during the playing season
would benefit the sport. Washing
ton and Detroit in 1908 and Phila-
delphia and, Cleveland in 1910 made
midseason trades that counted heav-
ily in the result of the race. Now
Boston and Chicago in the National
League have perfected all exchange

Cubs. These trades We're doubtless
madein good faith. hnf il takes 50
little to MAKE the public believe Other
