RECALL LETTERS
MISSED BY HILL
Am bassador Fails to Get Re-
tirement Documents.

Berlin, July 1.-Surprise. verging on
indignation. is expected in German and
American circles over the delay of the
Washington government in supplying
DR.. David Jayne Hill, the retiring Am
bassador. with his letters Of recall.
without them the Ambassador is un-
able to take his leave Of the sovereign,
to whom he is accredited in a manner
consonant with the dignity of the coun-
try which commissioned him.
The letters were expected long ago.
The authorities at Washington knew
that the Ambassadors resignation
would take effect July I, and that he
would go to Kiel before then to meet
the Kaiser for the last time, as the lat
ter viii start on a Northern trip when
the regatta week is over.
The Kaiser will return to Kiel on July
3 to greet the American war ships with
the midshipmen from Annapolis aboard.
but Mr.. Hill left Kiel on June q and at
tended q farewell banquet at Berlin.
1t is not likely, therefore. that he will
60 back to Kiel with the letters in or
der to catch the Kaiser before tho latter
goes north.
Dr. Hill explained the situation to the
Kaiser while at Kiel, but IT Is felt here
that some one is to blame for not seeing
to 1t that the letters were here In good
time.
Mrs. Hill and her daughter have gone
to the Geneva chalet which the Ambassa-
dor rented for short rest.

Gov. Dix, OF New York, in vetoeIng
the bill passed by the State assembly
prohibiting the police from taking photo
graphs Of persons before they are con-
victed Of crimes. and also prohibiting
the questioning Of prisoners other than
as to their names and addresses, gave
as his reason that such a law would
place a premium on crime.
After the measure had passed the as
sembly, Gov. Dix called upon the dis
trict attorneys of New York and Maj
Richard Sylvester, president Of the In
ternational Police Chiefs Association,
for their views as to the effect of such
law.
Talked with the Governor.
Rollin B. Sanford, president Of the Dis
trict Attorneys Association: DIR. Still
man, of the New York Humane Socie-
ties. and Maj. Sylvester appeared before
Gov. Dix and gave an academic presen-
tation OF the effects of such legislation.
Maj. Sylvester maintained that the word
photograph in police parlance is a mis-
homer, under the decision of Judge Ball.
Of the United States District Court Of
Kentucky, where he held that the police
had an unquestioned right to take the
descriptions OF those charged with crimes.
and that the most accurate description
that could be taken Of a person is a
photograph.
Maj. Sylvester declared that no picture
Of such kind or description was ever
given out of his bureau except that of
an established criminal, and then to the
police, who, by reason of having a clear
ing house, are enabled to identify those
guilty of crimes.
He contended that the greatest pre-
ventive of crime in England and in the
United States was the existence and
knowledge of the fact by criminals that
network of criminal-measuring and
finger-print apparatus exists. II 1t did not.
crime would be on the rampage.
As to the proposed law that a police
officer could not question or examine a
prisoner. the major ventured the opinion
that II a prisoner desired to talk to
policeman II was his constitutional right
Opposed to Third Degree.
Maj Sylvester said the International
police condemned any so-called third de-
gree methods. and enlisted the public to
aid the police In Furnishing those who
would dare to assault prisoners to that
end. In the 5000 police, he said. there
were many bad men, such as would be
found in other organizations, and there
was law to rule them out and punish
them.
The governor in vetoeing the bill. said:
1T Is the first duty Of the State to pro-
tect from criminals the lives and property
OF citizens To this end the officers
charged with the prevention. detection,
and punishment OF crime should be given
ample powers by statute and should re-
ceive the support of all good citizens. This
bill subjects officers of arrest to unneces-
sary and groundless accusations in case
of alleged violence or prosecution. Ample
authority already exists for the mainte-
nance OF discipline in the police force and
the observance of the law and of the
rights Of individuals by the police au-
thorities Of the State"

Policeman H. c. Steinbrecker, Of the
Seventh precinct, stationed at the Wash
ington end of the Aqueduct Bridge, saved
Benjamin Mudd. twenty-one years old, OF
1903 NJ street northwest, from drowning

to the policeman succeeded in getting
him out of the water. The policeman

Policeman Steinbrecker was in, the
watch house adjoining the bridge, when
he heard splash. Looking out of the
window he saw a man struggling in the
water. Pulling of his coat and helmet,
and throwing his revolver and club on
the floor, he dived after him. He came
up within a few feet of Mudd. and with
a single stroke reached his side.
Mudd grabbed the policeman and almost
pulled him under water. Steinbrecker,
seeing the struggling man could not
swim, ducked him under the water, and.
when he arose again grasped him and
swan for shore. When he neared the
shore a man who had seen him dive
over the railing that separates the lodge
from the bridge was standing on the
towpath and called to the policeman to
raise the unconscious man until he could
get hold Of him.
AS soon as Mudd was ashore the police
man asked the stranger who had assisted
him to go to the lodge house and tele-

SOUSA Is KING
OF CRICKETERS
Makes Top Score in Redhot
Practice Match.

There was a mighty good game of
cricket pulled OF at the Rock Creek Park
grounds yesterday, when the Presidents
team clashed with the Secretary's eleven.
The rigid training Capt. Jimmy Rose
has given the men was evidenced by the
clever fielding and strong batting Of tho
players. ~Sousa got top score, with Is,
and retired, as did also DIR. Cannon, with
10 to his credit. DIR. z. A. Williams,
the nerve specialist, played for the first
time with the club and made a good i'm
preston. His batting Is strong and his
bowling deceptive. DR.. J. S. Cannon, as
usual, was much in evidence with his
bat. and in the bowling crease proved
an enigma to the strong batsmen of the
Secretary's team Edgar Priest showed
lack Of exercise, and evidently requires
reduction in avoIrdupois. as his bowling
Is not as effective as formerly.
D'Alcorn is rapidly improving his field
ing game and bats WELL while Rhodes
shows the same energetic spirit that has
characterized all Of his playing hereto
fore.
and is rapidly returning to his old form
in batting.
The Vice Presidents and Treasurer's
teams viii play this afternoon at the
Rock Creek Park grounds. and on July
a game Of 'single wickets'' will be
played. 1t Is the purpose of the club to
have all Of the members families pic
mic in the grove surrounding the cricket
field at Rock Creek Park. on Indepen-

fair to presume that there will be a
large gathering of cricket-loving folk at
the grounds on that day. The score:

have no intention of causing offense to

that the "roster' is nothing more nor
less than a teeming farce. When

Land Bought For
Negro College,

A few months ago we recommended
Irmo to the board of mission for Freed
men as suitable place for HARRISON
college. On Friday, the 10th Instant
the deal was closed in the purchase OF
nearly 500 acres of land to establish a
large agricultural and industrial school
for colored youths. Thousands of dol
lars have been spent in the purchase
Of the land and thousands will be put
in the erection of buildings. This school
being established there will mean
much to Irmo from a financial point
of view; also to Columbia, as it is only
10 or 12 miles from here. The white
people at Irmo are very kindly eispos-
ed to the colored people and will vel
come such school in their midst.
