AT THE ACUTE STAGE
Feeling in Alexandria County
Over Courthouse Removal.
ACTIVITY OF THE FACTIONS
Proposed Transfer From Fort Myer
Heights to Rosslyn.
SPECIAL ELECTION TOMORROW
Advocates Deny That Present Site
and Buildings Will Revert to
Original Owners.
ACTIVITY OF THE FACTIONS
SPECIAL ELECTION TOMORROW

Excitement is today at fever heat
among the voters of Alexandria county,
Va. over the special election to be held
throughout the county tomorrow, at
Ybiehe decision will be made whether or
NOT the county courthouse is to be moved
from its present site on Fort Myer
Heights to Rosslyn
A quiet canvass has been going on
throughout the county for several months.
but the fight has become strained only
the publication in one of the papers in
the county of statement that a decision
in favor of removal of the courthouse
would result in the reversion of the pres
ent site and buildings, worth $4,000, to
the former owners. BY those who are
urging the removal this statement is
strenuously denied, and posters have been
put up throughout the county telling
voters the published statement is not
correct.
In the statement referred to it was de-
clared that the deed by which the county
took over the present courthouse site pro-
vides that the land and improvements
will revert to the former owners when
the site ceases to be used for the county
public building.
Quote From the Deed.
The advocates Of the change declare,
by citing the deed. that this is not true.
The deed. they say. provides that "the
absolute title In fee to the land herein
granted shall be vested in said county
forever. free, and discharged from any
and all rcversionary provisions of this
deed or of the law of the United States
or Of the state of Virginia. providing
the courthouse is built within five years.
They hold that the courthouse was COM
pleted and occupied within the five years,
and therefore the land and building are
owned absolutely by the county, to do
with as II pleases.
By those advocating the removal it
is also contended that the placing of
the courthouse at Rosslyn would make
the real estate, court and other county
records and business incident thereto
more accessible, because every car line
in the county runs to Rosslyn, either
directly or~with one transfer.
Present Facilities Cited.
The present site, 1T is pointed out,
is reached by only two car lines and
from both there is long hill to climb
before the courthouse is reached.
Those opposing the transfer point to
the expense involved in the removal
They say. too. that the high hill upon
which the present courthouse is now
located is a more appropriate and
slightly place for a public building.

Col. Roosevelt defended the recall OF

his tilt last spring with Representative
Campbell of Kansas, after the congress-
man expressed the opinion that the colo

given some fame in your own district
said Col. Roosevelt. 1--WE intend that the
people shall not merely sit on the bleach

the people shall run the game. We be-
lieve it should not be a game between
two gangs of professionals. but that the
people should say who shall play"
He continued:

Our opponents criticise what l say
about the courts. The New York court
of appeals says that We cannot have a
workmans compensation act. Our oppo-
nents say they approve the law. but that
we cannot have it because the courts
won't let us. We say that if courts make
such a decision the people who made the
Constitution should have the chance to
say what they meant when they made it,

RED CROSS SUPPLIES
ARE NOW AT GRANADA
Dispatch to State Department
Announces Arrival of
Maj. Butler.
Brief dispatches 10 the Navy Department

Brief dispatches 10 the Navy Department
today from Admiral Switzerland an
nounced the arrival of Maj Butler at
Granada with Red Cross supplies for the
relief Of the citizens there, who had faced
famine in consequence of the curtailment
of food supplies during the rebel oc-
cupancy of the city. Maj Buffers ex-
pedition took ample supplies for the inn
mediate wants Of the pupils of a girls
college, who had been isolated for nearly
fifty days.
Details of the progress of the relief
expedition make it appear that the rebels
themselves had generally displayed an ex-
cellent disposition toward the American
naval forces. and that the incident at
Masaya, last Thursday night, when three
American marines were slightly wounded
leaders, but was the work Of a drunken
rebel.
Gen. Zeledon Apologies.
Several men on horseback appeared in
the darkness and it was one Of them who
fired upon the marines, who returned the
fire and drove them OF. Gen. Zeledon,
the rebel commander at that point. not
only made ample apology to Maj Butler,
commanding the marines, but Informed
him that the rebels would offer no op-
position whatever to the progress of the
American expedition and, indeed, sur
rendered the railroad !. and all Of the roll
ing stock into their custody.
The new light thrown upon the Masaya
incident encourages the officials here in
the belief that there is no longer, any
probability of a fight between the forces
of Admiral Southerland and the rebels,
who seem quite indisposed to offer any
resistance to the Americans.

THE ShVERWARE
 0F TIE hAVAJOS
Description Of That Industry of an
 Arizona Tribe.

From time to time the attention of intending buyers of Christmas pres ents has been called to the wealth of opportunities at Balkes Big Curio store. It would take a year to cover them in detail Now here is the Nava- jo Indian jewelry made of coin silver From the earliest period known of those Indians they have been workers in metals. The first jewelry was made of copper. They have never mined sil yer so that their first knowledge of that metal was gained from the traders from whom they received coins. Their attention w&s then turned to nakin" jeWelry of silver. The coins were never used as money by them.
 Out of the coin silver fer genera tions they have been making bracelets, rings, neck chains dnd ornaments fo" their horses Later they began mak- ing other ar,icles such as belt bIckles.
 Their silverWare is rudely put ar tistically engraved and some e il is set with turquoise and some with a rough garnet The turquoise is :, high ly prized stone among the Iniians \ part of their stock they take froIn mines and part of it they find in pre- historic burial places. The latter had probably been used by pre- -histnrlc people as parts of necklaces for there is little hole in each piece. Now and then a setting made by the NavaiOs contains such a hole which instead of being flaw has additional value in the eyes of the Navajos.
 Much of the Navajo jeWelTy is Eerv old. It has been handed down in fam flies for generations The Indians part with it only under stress. I'll " then pawn it hoping to redeem it and they do so when they can. But much of it is never redeemed and that is the way it comes to the market.
 MT. Bake for years has been making a collection of Navajo jeWelry until now he undoubtedly has the largest collection cXtant. Any piece of gen. uine Navajo jewelry would be highly priZed as a Christmas gift
