THE RIXEY CASE.

The Staunton Leader, in discussing
the Rixey case previous to the proceed.
ings yesterday says:
We do not like to see any man tried
in the newspapers, but when he has
committed the crimes that G. ]. Rixey,
of Alexandria. has apparently commit
ted for which he has been indicted in q
number OF cases, We do think he ought
to be tried ia the courts. and that a
plea OF lunacy ought not to serve to
shield him from trial. It may very
we'll be, and we have no doubt such is
the case, that his nervous system is
pretty badly shaken, and that be is in
bad physical condition. but there is
good reason to believe be knows what
be did, and that he is morally respon-
sible. We have no sympathy with eff
forts to shield men from the penalties
due for crimes by putting them in in
sane asylums. That has been carried
too far in this country, and too far here
in Virginia. 1t is not just to the people
| who have suffered and it is not just to
the commonwealth.
Every banker who robs his depositors
should 60 to the penitentiary.
We agree with our contemporary il
its Just Indignation in reference to the
many attempts which are made to
shield wrong. doors by having them de-
clared insane. Had Mr.. Rixey been
committed to Staunton solely on the
judgement OF the lunacy commission
which was held at Orange and not pro-
duced in the court before which he was
| iodicted it would have been a sad ira
vesty on the laws of the state. But such
was not the case. Mr.. Rixey was pro-
duced in court yesterday and after a
complete examination by two of the
best experts on insanity in the country,
be was adiudged insane. Section 1880
of the state code provides that any per-
son found insane st the time appointed
Tor bis trial on any indictments shall
be confined to the asylum for the crimi.
nal insane. This will undoubtedly be
done rs soon as the buildings at Marion
are completed and the Law will then be
carried out both in spirit and word.

EUROPE, at present, seems to be in a
ferment. Hardly had the wholesale
strike in England been settled before a
similar walkout took place in Ireland.
The recent riots in France in conse-
queuce OF the high prices OF food have
been followed by similar disturbances
in Austria. Strikes have been declar.
cd in Spain. Portuguese royalists are
threatening the infant republicl outlaws
are menacing the lives Of officials in
Russia, and the outcome of the nego-
tiations between France and Germany
are still uncertain. No one can tell
what day may bring forth in this
nervous and eScitable age.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1911-09-19

The strike came at a peculiarly op-
portune time for the government to use
the argument. The negotiations be-
tween France and Germany over the
Moroccan question had reached the
deadlocd stage, and seemed on the
verge of being abandoned altogether.
The tone of the German press had be-
come blatant to the point of belligeren'
cy, and the feeling of glee in Berlin over
Englsnd's internal troubles was un.
mistakable.

ASSASSINATION OF sTOLYPIN.

Az had been feared, the assassin 8
bullet has ended the earthly career
OF Premier Stolypin OF Russia. Inc
Car OF that vast empire IS, apart
from the members Of the family OF
the victim, more distressed at the
outcome than any other man IN the
empire. Stolypin was faithful ana
energetic cabinet officer, and his un-
timely end, while reioiced over by
the enemies OF Law and order, Will
be deeply regretted not only by his
royal chief, but by the bureaucracy
OF the country. Apart from tnis'
the fact that the assassin went to
the opera for the purpose OF turning
his pistol upon the Gar, adds to the
apprehension always apparent IN Rus
STA. The Car was so surrounded oV
body guards that it was impossiole
for, his would.be slayer to get close
to him. Assassins are ever lurking
in the path OF those in authority, and
men or women who rule countries
have much with which to render un
easy heads which wear crowns. But
in this day it is not only rulers whose
lives are always menaced, but the
humble merchant who by thrift may
have amassed a competence Is kept
doging the bomb. thrower, and it is q
common occurrence for such to have
their homes converted into kindlinR
wood in the Gwinkling Of an eye
because they refuse to meet the ex,
orbitapt demands Of outlaws. The
number of Russian horrors is grow
ing at an alarming rate. The Car
was blown almost to pieces by bomb
in the streets OF Moscow in 1881.
The assistant public pr osecutor OF
ST. Petersburg, Alexander Skoplnsky'
was murdered in train on the Sim
pheropol Railroad, August 2, by two
men, who since have evaded detec-
top. On August IL, Paul, the IT.
year-old-son of Commander Kurostl,
of the cruiser Admiral Makaroff, was
murdered at Oyer. Other recent acts
are the killing Of the prison warden,
Efmoff, in Vologda, and series OF
similar murders. In Izhedsk, Byatka
Province, the assistant public prose-
cutor, Golostovak, was wounded IN
the back with dagger August 70.
Two days later an agent OF the Okh'
rama political police named Artemenko
was killed at Alexandrovsk. On
August 90 an unknown person fired
into the bedroom OF the assistant chief
OF the !. gendarmes at YellzabethpoI'
Lieut.. Col. Gamreklize. The same
dav a band OF 80 men attacked the
arsenal in the center of the fortress
at Kertch, apparently with the pur-
pose of stealing rifles. The chief OF
the penal settlement at zcremtui was
murdered September 4.

WAR TALK ENDED STRIKE.

Fear of war with Germany was what
caused the speedy settlement of Eng
lands great railway strike. This fear
was instilled into the minds of the rail
uay magnates by the British Govern
ment.
Although this information has been
in the hands of number OF London
newspaper editors for week, none has
vet seen fit to prin. it.
Whether the government really be-
]ieved war to be imminent is not known.
But the final argument used by the Of
6cials fin their efforts to induce the
railway companies to agree to treat
with the strikers wasan appeal to their
patriotism, as we'll as to their pocket
books, is youched for by one OF the
magnates who participated in the varl'
GUS conferences. To quote his words,
we were beaten by Europe. ;"
For two days the companies had heid
out obstinately in their determination
to refuse any sort of recognitions TO the
unions. The managers declined to
meet the representatives OF the Anal
gated Society of Railway Servants even
in the presence of the government otti'
Gals Suddenly the whole aspect Of
the situation changed. Tbs sstrlkers'
committee was called into the govern
rnent hoard of trade rooms, and there
thew found the various railway presi'
dents all ready to sign up an agreemeI'
nroyiding for a settlement OF the dis
mute by means Of commission whose
decisions should be binding eren if sb'
solute recognition Of the unions should
be involved. Sir Guy Grauet' presl'
dent of the great Midland Railway, who
had been particularly bitter in bis de-
nnnciation of the strikers and who had
declared only "a hours before that he
lee his road bankrupt rather
b in, was the frst to put his
the document.

FOUR INJURED IN FIRE
Many Thrilling Rescues at Early
Morning Blaze.

Four persons were injured in fire which
started al o'clock yesterday morning and
the building at No 100 West 9th street
was completely destroyed. Ii was a four
story brick tenement house, occupied by
eight Italian and Greek families. The fro
started I'm the basement, and the dense
smoke that rolled up the stairways rem
dered escape In that quarter impossible.
The firemen and two patrolmen managed
10 get every one TO the street by way Of
the fire escapes. The damage was about
$500
All the occupants OF the house were
asleep when Patrobnan Nielsen, OF the
West Goth street station, saw flames shoot
ing from a first floor window. He raped
on the sidewalk for assistance and then
broke open the door and ran through the
house, arousng the tenants.
by the time the firemen arrived the
building was n seethiEg furnace, and the
terror OF the Greeks and Italians rendered
their work OF rescue douhly difficult. on
the TOP floor DCminick Deveno, with his
wife, Marie, and their baby, stood on
the fire escape shouting for help. The
woman became hysJerical and tried 10

escape and caught the child Just In time.

INSPECT RIVERSIDE DRIVE
Taxpayers Blame Buses and
Auto Chains for Damage.

The announcement by Park Commission
CT Stover OF his intention 70 ask the Board
of Estimate this year for S45O,O0O TO re-
build the roads in Central Park has start
ed a movement among taxpayers on the
West Side. II was learned yesterday. look
ing 70 like improvements on Riverside
Drive. In his plan for the rehabilitation OF
the park roads Commissioner Stover points
out the futility OF repaving with the road
material which has been in use for a num-
Der OF years He says automobile traffic
has become so heavy and the weight of the
cars has increased at such a rapid rate
that the present macadam cannot meet
III" demands made upon II.
On Saturday the taxpayers who are be-
hind the Riverside Drive movement went
over the drive from 72d 10 129th street It
was said yesterday by one Of them that
the roads had never been in poorer condi-
ton than a present. bearing out the recent
statement Of Mr.. Stoyer that chains on
heavy automobiles had undone the work Of
renoy alton which had 10 be done twice in
the last year.
Not only were there holes at most Of the
intersections Of cross streets, where in turn
ing into the drive the chains had cut deeply
into the macadam, but they found that the
roads had been worn down TO point where
the gravel used in the earlier road building
had been exposed one Of the taxpayers
said:
Park Commissioner Stover has plans for
rcnoyating the park highways, or practi-
cally rebuilding them with new material.
I suppose he intends doing the same for the
drive But will his new material be able
to stand up under the automobile traffic,
esrecially in winter. when there is almost
constant use of that road destroyer, the
wheel chain? It seems 10 me that what
is needed Is a law prohibiting the use OF
chains. There was one, but il has been de-
cisred unconstitutional"
The taxpayers maintain that the heavy
buses I'm use on the drive are responsible
for a great deal Of the wear and tear.
