Judge J. X. M. Norton. who has been
receiver for the Virginia Safe Deposit
and Trust Corporation, in Alexandria,
since its failure In 1910, this morning
rendered his resignation to Judge L. p.
Barley. of the Corporation Court. This
was actuated by recent decision Of
the State Board OF Appeals just re-
ceived here, which holds suits seeking to
hold directors of defunct concern liable
Tor the failure must be brought by the
receiver.
As Norton was director in the bank
six months prior to its collapse. he
deemed his present position incompatible
with the other. As the affairs of the
corporation have been practically wound
up, 1t 10 understood that Howard w.
Smith, the other receiver, will continue
alone
A decree was entered In the same
court as the result of the resignation
appointing Walter G. Foster special
commissioner to examine into the ac-
counts of the receiver, with authority
to employ necessary expert assistance.
Since the failure Of the concern, in
yolving nearly 100000. but 30 per cent
has so far been recovered by the de-
positors. C. ]. Rixey, former president

A baby Wright biplane has BEEN re-
ceiveC at the Army Aviation School at
College Park. 1t has but a twenty-s six
foot spread. and a minimum speed Of
sixty miles an hour. Under good con-
ditions 1t is claimed the machine will
travel seventy-five miles in sixty
minutes. 1t will receive its official test
about the first week in September.
It is expected that Congressman Hard
wick's bill for double pay for army
aviators will come up in the House to-
day on the unanimous consent cal
andar. The bill was to have been con .
sidered last Monday. but the House
could not reach 1t then. Friends of the
bill believe 1t will get through without
any great amount Of opposition.
The Army Aviation School has a large
aeroplane automobile truck This ma
chine is big enough to hold an aeropiane
when packed for shipping, and will be
used at the maneuvers In Connecticut
to haul the biplanes to and from the
railroad stations.
Lieut.. Louis Rockwell, who has been
flying by himself but a week, is putting

The political sensation of the past week
was the announcement by Theodore
Roosevelt that he is candidate for the
Republican nomination for President and
that he will be in the fight until the con-
vention makes its decision. Although it
was generally believed that he would
come out, yet the explicit announcement
was genuine bombshel in the Republi-
can camp. President Taft is said to be
much hurt at the turn of affairs, and his
friends are very bitter toward the Colonel,
as they had taken it for granted that he
meant what he said when he declared he
would not again be candidate.
We see no reason why Mr. Roosevelt
should not be a candidate if he so desires.
He boosted Mr.. TAFT into the presidential
chair as progressive, and the latter hav-
ing turned out to be a reactionary and
standpatter, Mr.. Roosevelt has perfect
right TO oppose him and there is no incon-
sistency in his doing so.
This fight between the President and
the ex-President is bound to be an inter-
esting one and we look for the fur to fly
from now on. The result, OF course, will
be the sure election Of a Democrat.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth when Properly
Combined.

germ deStroyerS ever discovered by

It's natural nouriShment. and also creates
a clean, healthy conditIon OF the scalp,
which prevents the development OF new

for restoring the hair to its natural color.
when the loss of hair has been caused by
disease of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper combina-
ton, with alcohol added as stimulant

hair. If there is any vitality left in the
roots, il will positively cure badness, or
we will refund your money. If the scalp
has a glazed, shiny appearance, it's an
indication that badness is permanent,
but IN other instances we believe badness
is durable

disease or loss OF hair to try Rexal "93"

PRESIDENT TAFT has made another
bad break-this time in recommending
that the postal rate on newspapers and
magazines be doubled. This would be
putting an unnecessary burden on pub
fishers, and there is no good reason for
so doing. II the President shall have
his way, there will be no more dollar
weekly newspapers and probably no
penny dailies, for the margin OF profit to
country publishers is so small that they
cannot stand any additional expense with
out increasing their rates.
The President can usually be depended
upon to do the wrong thing at the wrong
time.

people that President Taft is not fit to
govern them.
