BARGE ICEBOUND.
Wicomico Reported in Leaking Con.
dition at Somerset Beach.

The barge Wicomico Of the Southern
Transportation Company fleet is reported
at Somerset Beach, on the Potomac, in a
leaking condition. but whether the vessel
has been damaged by the ice or not is
not known here. The Wicomico was
taken to Somerset from this city In the
latter part OF December for the purpose
of loading railroad ties for Philadelphia
She had aboard portion OF her cargo
just about the time the freezing weather
came, and on the last trip Of the steamer
Capital City the master of the barge re-
quested Capt. Reed Of the steamer to
shove his vessel as far inshore ar pos
sible. This was done and the max .ng OF
heavy ice about the Wicomico, as well as
in the river, has prevented further as
sistance.
Two of the tugs of the Southern Trans
portation Company fleet are at this city.
and as soon as weather conditions will
allow they will be sent to the aid of the
barge and will take her to Norfolk or
Baltimore.

The Lizzie A. Williams Now at An
napolis for Harbor.

The ram schooner Lizzie A.. Williams
one of the fleet Of lumber carriers that
frequently brings cargoes to this city
from Virginia and North Carolina points,
has been rescued from her dangerous
plight in the ice off Poplar Island. In
Chesapeake bay. and is now at An
napols for harbor. The vessel early in
the past week, while on her way to Bal
timore, anchored under Thomas point
for shelter, and the ice catching her
there carried her across the bay to Pop

difficult for the tugs. and icebOats to
reach her, but the Baltimore icebOat
Latrobe finally succeeded i'm breaking
her way into her and lowed her to a safe
harbor
The vessel. it is stated. is but little

Steward on Weems Line Steamers

Henry Williams. colored, for many
years steward on the steamers on the old

MORRIS BENEFITS WISH
WILL SOON Be REALIZED
Victim of Murderous Assault
to Leave the Hospital Wed
nesday Next.

Eight weeks ago yesterday, Morris
Bennett, the grocer, was murderously
assaulted by man whom he says
is James Smith. alias Kabusta. who is
awaiting trial in the District jail. Dur
ing the time Intervening the victim Of
the assault has been patient at the
Casualty Hospital.
Next Wednesday, however, Bennett
will be granted a wish he has express
ed numerous times since his confine-
ment. and that is that he be allowed
to return to his home.
The three fractures of Benefits jaw.
alleged to have been inflicted with a
Ratchet when the murderous assault
occurred November 20. near Gitchie
Spring. are rapidly healing 1t was ex-
pected he would be able to leave the
hospital several weeks ago and prep
arationS were made by his wife to
welcome him home New Year day, but
the fractures did not heal as promptly
as was expected and he was forced
to remain longer in the institution.
Wire Inserted in Broken Jaw.
One week ago wire was inserted
in the bone of the broken jaw The
pieces of bone are to be firmly held
together by the wire until, il the opera
ton is successful, the broken ends have
knitted firmly together. This result may
be accomplished within the next four or
five weeks. The wire will then be re-
moved.
Bennett has not been confined to his
bed for some time. He walks about the
hospital wards chatting with other pa
tients and when his wife arrives for her
usual daily visit with their baby ne
fondles the little one and assures his
wife that he will soon be with her again.
Smith, or Kabusta. whom the police of
Chicago say is wanted by them to an
swer two charges of murder committed
in that city in 1905 steadfastly denies
that he committed the assault upon Ben
nett. Even when the injured grocer lay
in his bed at the hospital and declared in
Smiths presence that the latter was the
man who had chopped him In the face
with Ratchet, the latter. in a confident
manner, declared he was mistaken.
Preparations for Defense.
Since he has been in the District Jail
Smith has not talked much about himself
His attorney, George c. Shinn, who was
appointed by the court to represent him,
is preparing for the defense, and the trial
Is expected to begin some time next
month.

PROSPECTS
BRIGHT, SAYS M'KEE
President of Civil Service Re-
tirement Association Is
Very Optimistic.

I'm my opinion, prospects for pensions
for civil service employees of the govern
ment were never so bright as at the pres
ent time" said Andrew w. Mckee, last
night. following his reelection as presi-
dent Of the United States Civil Service
Retirement Association.
President Mckee voiced the belief of
every delegate to the annual convention
Of the association, the concluding session
of which was held at Odd Fellows Hall
yesterday afternoon.
Assurances of hearty support in the eff
fort to have congress enact legislation for
q straight pension for the 262 26S classified
employees in the United States civil serv-
ice were voiced during the progress of the
convention by Representatives Ayres of
New York, O'Shaunessy of Rhode Island,
Calder of New York and Hamill of New
now before the House committee on re-
form in the civil service, which embodies
pension features to which the association
is committed.
Think Hamill Bill Will Win.

firing secretary and newly elected men,
Der of the executive committee. and Mi
chael f. O'Donoghue of this city, the
successor of Mr.. Finnan as secretary
and one of the most jealous workers in
the cause of straight pensions for the
governments civil employees are partic-
ularly optimistic regarding the chances
of the Hamiu bill. Mr.. O'Donoghue said
last evening that plans to convert those
members of the House committee who
favor the Austin bill. with its contri5u-
/ tory feature. have been outlined, and in
view of the fact he has been assured that
| the Hamill bill can be passed if it is pre-
scented to the House. he feels justified in
| being sanguine as to it's ultimate enact
ment.

Objects to Classification.

Mr.. Baldwin deprecates the efforts being
made in several states TO have desertion
classed as a felony, declaring that such
course in reality aids delinquent hus-
bands and fathers
He says:
While many of the states have thought
IL necessary TO declare family desertiOn
felony, in order to make the offense
extraditable, under the Constitution Of
the United States the crime j. clearly
classed with extraditable offenses. This
right of extradition is conferred by ar
ticle 4, section 2, Of the Constitution,
which reads: A person charged in any
state with treason. felony or other crime,
who shall flee from justice, and be found.
in another state, shall, on demand Of the
executive authority of the state from
which he fled. be delivered up. to be re-
moved to the state having jurisdiction

visions Of Constitution.

Under the title The Present Status Of
Family Desertion and Non-Support Laws
in the United States William H. Bald
win, known as the father of washington's
non-suppOrt law, in a recently issued
brochure discusses methods of reaching
and handling cases where husbands and
fathers desert and fail or refuse to pro-
vide for their families
While volunteer worker for the Asso-
ciated Charities, several years ago, Mr..
Baldwin made an exhaustive study Of
the problem offered by the deserving IA
Their. and very largely as result of his
labors the present non-support law of
the District was enacted in 1906, the year
I'm which the Juvenile Court was estab-
lished.
Under this law 1T is possible to sentence
men to hard labor in the workhouse for
deserving their families, and the law pro-
yides for the payment of so cents per
day from the money earned by the con-
victed Offenders to their dependent fam
lilies. Under this law during the years
1SoI-1910. inclusive, the sum of 81, LIB was
paid to such dependents from the money
earned by men >under sentence, while a
total of 500, 6S has been collected
from men under suspended sentence in
the same period. The fact that it is pos
sible to send men to the workhouse has
made 1t easier for the court to collect q
stated samount from deserters for the
use of their families

Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-01-20

The presence of all members and
all friends is solicited.
A number of outside friends of this
church have approached the pastor
with regards to an article under the
caption of, REV. Thos-Hazell Ten
ders Resignation" in The Statesman
of Jan. 9Th. The pastor begs leave
to say to his many friends and those
interested in this church that the min
lister is irresponsible for the publicity
of any such statements in as much as
he has never interviewed any news
paper man or outside individual on
the subject. The publicity of such
statements we regard as being preco-
cious, since they do not represent
neither the minister nor the congrega-
| tion's feelings in the matter AS a
Presbyterian minister is responsible
to the Presbytery as far as his resig
nation is concerned, such resignation
must be to the Presbytery, and only
the Presbytery can accept it. If for
any cause Presbyterian minister de-
sires to resign his pastoral charge,
the Presbytery shall cite the congre-
cation to appear, by their commission
ers, to show cause, if any they have,
why the Presbytery should not ac-
cept the resignation. If the congrega-
ton fails to appear, or if their rea-
sons for retaining their pastor be
deemed by the Presbytery insufficient,
he shall have leave granted to resign
his pastoral charge. If any congre-
cation shall desire to be released from
their pastor, similar process, muta-
tbs mutandis, shall be observed"
(Form of Govt.) Chap. II. The pub
lie is therefore notified that The Peo-
pies Church with its pastor, Rev.
Thos-Hazell, S. T. B., continues to do
business at the same old stand and
under the same old conditions until
further notice is given by the church
officially. the time we assumed
the pastorate of this church, at no
one time has the pastors salary been
one month in arrears, record that
few if any churches in Denver can
boast of. The mission of the church
we regard as being far above the dol
lars and cents question.
At the winter meeting of Presby-
terry last Tuesday at Central Presby-
terian church, DR.. r. NJ. Donaldson,

What of the Future?

No words could show more elo-
quently the position to which the Ne
gro has been relegated in politics,
than does the silence which charac-
terizes the coming campaign about
matters that will affect him. There is
no thunder of heavy artillery brought
into play to influence the representa-
tives we will have in national con-
vention. Even the voice of the Ne
groes who affiliate with Democrats, is
thinned out into a faint, plaintive
treble. Republicans and Democrats
alike seem determined to play the
game of politics with the Negro voter
as harmless and useless spectator
So far as Democracy is concerned,
its position is logical. II has made
us no promises and such support as
our people give it, is free will gift,
sort of sacrifice to Baal. But for the
Republican party to pass us by is un-
expected and undeserved. Beginning
with Mckinley, continuing through
