GRAND JURY IN SESSION.
Brings Eleven True Bills in Criminal
Cases. Recommendations Made
by jury

The grand jury for the June tern
Of the Corporation court, Judge Louis
c. Barley presiding was in session this
morning. The jury was composed OF
the following:
Robert S. Barrett, foreman; Clar,
ence N. Moore, Leopold Ruben, Sam,
uel w. Pitts, Joseph c. Gates, C. H
Yohe, William J. Boothe, John Nc
Cuen, Henry X. Field, c. B. Marshall
Courtney Acton and Charles B. Swan
The jury brought in the following
true bills:
Feloniously and maliciously shoot
ing, Robert Dawson, Melvin Mahugh,
Scott Black; maliciously and feloni-
ously cutting, Lawson Pierce; break
ing and entering storehouse at night,
Charles Cosby; grand larceny, John F.
Peverill, breaking and entering dwell
ing, Richard Giles; rape, John 7. Ev-
ans; murder, Samuel Allen, alias
Shorty; petty larceny, third offense,
Charles Baltimore.
The jury refused q true bill against
James Miller, charged with breaking
and entering a dwelling.
The jury recommended to the court
that greater effort be made to secure
evidence against gambling houses in
the city and Judge Barley offered to
adjourn the jury over and summon
such witnesses as they might desire
to make a thorough investigation of
the matter, but the jury did not think
this was necessary. 1t was stated to
the court that the jury had called the
attention of Chief Goods to the SUBJ
ject and they thought that nothing
more was necessary at the time. They
appreciated the fact that evidence was
difficult to secure and thought that the
police were doing all in their power
to break up the houses.
Attention was called to the fact that
junk and second hand dealers had not
given bond or secured their permit as
required by the law and the court in
structed the clerk tu have the dealers
brought into court and required to
comply with the law.
The jury also recommended that
the vagrancy laws of the city he more
strictly enforced.
Charles H. Callahan appeared be-
fore the jury and was instructed to
proceed against several merchants of
Alexandria who had failed to pay
their license.

lANGD0N PROVES EASY.
Alexandra Adds Another Victory to
its String. Cardinals Defeat
Rosebuds Yesterday.

Langdon proved easy for Alexan,
dria Saturday afternoon even though
the home team was largely composed
Of substitutes. In fact the work OF
these recruits was a decided feature
of the contest. Frank Howard was al
first and bearing a poor throw to third
put pan excellent game. He took
all throws with ease and in good form
and on several occasions saved the in
fielders by remarkable stops. He is a
promising ball player. Billy
Brooks had but one chance in left but
played that one chance well. In the
fourth inning with the bases full and
one out long, low line drive to left
was gathered in by "Ty No. g" and an
accurate toss to Kemper at second
completed fast double play. Brooks
also put his team in the lead in the
second round by driving class sin
gle to center scoring Burrell. Snow
den had the honor of making the first
home run inside the grounds, his long
f1y to left in the fourth being lost in
the crop of unharvested hay. The
backstopping of Deshard and an un-
assisted double play by Downey. also
featured the days performance. In
the sixth inning Burrell tossed the
ball to the visiting batters and Snow
den made all three put-outs on fly
balls to center.
Twenty-Five runners were left
stranded on the bases, the visitors be-
ing retired with the bases loaded in
three innings. AS is usually the case
Alexandria punched the hits and vast
ed but two Of the thirteen safe drives.
Walker, Downey, Burrell, Deshard and
Snowden led with the sticks.

American Federation of Labor.
Boston, June l0.-With the local
central labor union having unani7
mously voted to uphold the striking
Boston elevated stree, railway EN-
ployes and assurances from Washing
ton that Samuel Gompers will lend
all the influence of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor to aid them, the
newly organized union Of street car
employees today claimed their victory
was certain.
Another factor today gave the
street car men hope. This was a
paid advertisement of the company
offering to take back every man who
has struck so far who has not in
duIged in any form of disorder.
Union officials declared today that
this is an admission of weakness by
the company, despite the fact that it
claims to have continued 4 compet-
ent service with a policeman on each
car, during the daylight hours.
Following d few minor disorders
on Sunday, it was quiet early today.

COLLISION AVERTED.
Steamer Northland Narrowly Escapes
Striking Presidents Yacht
MayflOwer.

The presidential yacht Mayfower,
with the President and Mrs. Taft and
4 party Of their distinguished guests
aboard, narrowly escaped collision
early yesterday with the steamer
NorthIand of the Norfolk and Wash
ington Line, not far from Point Look
out, where the Potomac river flows in
to Chesapeake Bay. The vigilance of
the officers of the Northland and the
Mayhower and their prompt action,
however, prevented what might have
been serious accident.
AS it happened the Northland mar
rowly missed the Mayfower.
The Mayfiower left Washington Sat
urday evening about $50 o'clock for
Hampton Roads.
The Northland, on her regular trip
to Old Point and Norfolk, left Alex
andria after the Mayf1ower passed
this city. Although she kept the pres
idential yacht in sight until dark, and
although she is a much speedier boat,
Capt. Posey made no attempt to pass
the President. Shortly after the
Northland passed into Chesakeake
Bay, however, where there is plenty
of sea room. the officer on watch decid-
ed to forge ahead of the Mayfower.
At that time the navy boat was prob
ably third of Il mile ahead of the
Northland, and u few hundred yards
to the starboard o. the Northland'S
course.
The Northland gave u signal that
she wished to pass on the Mayhower'S
port side, and few seconds later
came the response from the yacht.
one whistle, meaning that she wished
the Northland to pass, not on the port
side but on the starboard.
Officers in the Northland's pilot
house were aStoniShed when they
heard the Mayhower's one whistle, but
they were even more surprised when
the Mayhower began slowly to cross
her bow. 1t was few seconds before
they grasped just what was happening
but when they did four or five sharp,
short blasts sounded from the North
lands whistle, meaning danger, look
out"
The quartermaster Ut her wheel
received a sharp order. He flung the
wheel over, the engines Of the North
land were slowed down, she sheered
to starboard, and the Mayhower made
her way across the Northland's course.
Once beyond the Northland's course
the Mayhower seemed to slow up, and
the Northland passed on her starboard
