STORM HITS THIS CITY
Torrential Rains, High Winds, and
Incessant Thunder and
Lightning

The oppressive temperature OF yes
terday was followed by one of theI
heaviest and most prolonged rain1
storms that has visited this section'
for many years. While high winds ac-
companied the downpour and the
heavens were continuously illuminat-
ed by lightning, no material damage,
followed
Several trees in different sections of
the city were Frustrated, as were some
telephone, telegraph and electric poles.
Limbs were twisted from trees and
two awnings were blown down, one in
front of E. S. Leadbeater & Sons,
store on Fairfax street, near King,
and another in front of E. Goldsmith's
store on the southeast corner of King
and Lee streets.
At noon the mercury in the Their
mometer was standing at 95 degrees.
There was at times zephyrs from the
south, but they were not refreshing,
and the atmosphere was very oppres-
sive. Early in the afternoon dark
clouds gathered in the northern heav-
ems and later lightning was flashing
from them and the low murmer of
thunder was heard. Sweltering hum
anity hailed these as harbingers of
coming relief. The storm, how.
ever did not strike this city until tow
ards the close of the day, when the
winds suddenly veered to the north
west and the clouds, which had been
emptying themselves in Washington,
Baltimore and parts of Pennsylvania
were waited in this direction.
The wind soon attained high vel
ocity and the rain, flying almost hori-
zontally through the streets rendered
it difficult to see objects half square
away. The lightning in the meantime
was almost incessant, while thunder
was rcverberating continuously.
The rain fell in torrents gorgin gsew
ers and OVERLOOKING lowlands, especi-
ally in the southeastern section of the
city.
After the tempest had ragged about
an hour there was lull, but by the
time the church bells were ringing it
was raining as copiously as before and
wind gathered force. There were
heavy showers at intervals until after
ten o'clock, and the heavens were kept
aglow by lightning until nearly mid
night
Many thrilling scenes were reported.
The river was dotted with motorboats
when the first storm broke, but no
mishaps followed Passengers on the
excursion steamers huddled in the sa-
looms and experienced anxiety on their
way up the river.
A crowded Mount Vernon train, con-
sisting of a motor car and trailer
struck falling telephons pole on
Hunting Creek bridge while the first
storm was raging
The rain was coming in sheets at
the time, and the train, in charge of
Motorman G. w. Peregoy, Conductor
D. A. Smith, and Trolleyman William
Dwyer, was proceeding cautiously. As
the car struck the pole the motorman
quickly cut off the current, leaving
the passengers in darkness, unaware
of the danger. The pole smashed the
glass in front of the motor cab.
Peregoy escaped injury and the cal
was able to proceed after a delay OF
about ten minutes.
Further trouble was encountered
at the south end of Royal street where
water was rushing in torrent toward

JUDGE LEWIS BUSTED.
District United States Attorney is
succeeded by D. Lawrence
Groner of Norfolk

Intense surprise was caused in
Alexandria yesterday by the announ-
cament that late on Saturday, Pres
ideut Taft had sent to the Senate
ne name of d. Lawrence Groner, of
Norfolk. TO succeed Judge L. l.. Lew
&c nc district attorney for the Eastern
District of Virginia.
The announcement from Washing
ton came TO all those who knew
Judge Lewis, as a thunder clap out
of clear sky. Nothing in recent
years came so completely as sur
orise as the simple announcement
that the chief executive, for reason
that has not yet been made clear,
haI deliberately removed from the
government service an able lawyer
who has served it with distinction
for ten years.
Mach talk of Politics.
Those who would discuss the mat
.er at all last night were unanimous
IN assembling the latest shift to party
politics, originating in the campaign
preceding the Chicago convention
As far as it is possible TO construct
he story that turks behind the sud-
den supplanting of Judge Lewis by
Attorney Groner, it appears to
be simple case of reward
for work we'll known: D.
Lawrence Groner, Of Norfolk, has
been active in the interest of Presi-
lent Taft and stands close to- Alvah
RI. Martin and Bascom c. Slemp in
The party councils. The Martin
Slcmp combination is popularity cred
tied with swinging the Roanoke con-
rention safely into the Taft column.
Mr.. Groner was one Of the delegates
% the national convention ut Chi
ago and made warm speech sec
onding Senator Elihu Root for the
emporary craftsmanship.
With no other reason ascribed for
the surprising action of President
Taft, it seems to be safe conjecture,
in view OF the present-day political
complexion of the state, that the ad-
ministration has replaced man who
has held himself aloof from the po-
'itical game with one who has rem
Tered active service in the time or
ueed.
Judge Lewis served with distinc-
lion on the bench Of the State Su-
preme Court of Appeals, to when
he was appointed by the Governor
If Virginia during the Readjuster
laws. For number of years he was
prominent practicing attorney OF
Norfolk. In 1906 he was Republl-
AN candidate for Governor in oppo-
sitlon to Claude A. Swanson. lie was
,ppointed United States District AT
.orney for the Eastern District OF
Virginia by President Mckinley. lie
has been known as man OF lnde-
pendent mind and has never allied
himself with the so-called Office
holding ring OF Republicans in VIZ
ginia. As a party man he consist
emily held himself free from cntang-
ing alliances.

And this is only for the past year. There
had also been q rise in prices during
previous years just as there has peea

Beef Trust selling beef cheaper 70 go
abroad than they do at the domestic
trade. one simple statement will show
the absurdity and fallacy of sucn a
charge.
There was exported to foreign nations
during the first six months of this year
only enough fresh beef to furnish each
one of our people an ounce for the whole
six months. Does anyone doubt that If
that extra ounce of meat had been put
into our market that it would have
brought the same price that the rest
was sold for? VIII anyone charge the
Beef Trust with SO little business ability
as to cause them to sell beef abroad Tor
less than they could get for it at home?

Mr.. Hearst's Reply to Golfers.

On Oct. 3 the Journal published a
condensation of an article appearing
in the current number of Golfers
Weekly denouncing some of the so
called STANDARD Oil Letters" now
running serially in Hearst's Magazine
as forgeries. We commented upon
the seeming impossibility of such a
course by Mr.. Hearst. In Thursdays
issues of Mr. Hearst's papers APP
peared the following, which We are
glad to publish as his side of the
case:
Golfers Weekly of October says
that five of the III Standard Or
letters thus far published in Hearsfs
Magazine are forgeries.' 1t does not
say that the five letters in question
are spurious. 1t does not indeed
question the authenticity of the five
letters nor the accuracy of their text
as published. nor the fact that they
were written, sent and received by the
individuals named, and at the time
and for the reasons stated in Hearsts
Magazine.
what is 1t then that Golfers
Magazine means when It describes
these five out of III letters as forg-
cries Pit makes the exact statement
that the Photographic reproductions in
the magazine of five of the letters
shows the use OF typewriter differ
ent from the one used in the Standar
Oil offices. That is all. Golfers tin-
corporated, repeats the statement
many times Gas thought it expected a
denial), and publishes a letter from
typewriter manufacturer to substan-
tiate its statements.
THE explanation is very simple.
Every one knows that when letters
are put through a letter press, or
when a carbon copy is taken, the sec
ondary copy is often slightly blurred
Every one familiar with the photo
engraving process knows that such
copy win not photograph distinctly
The editors of Hearsts Magazine IN
form the AMERICAN that several of
the STANDARD Oil letters while clear
to the naked eye, could not be repro
duced for the printing press without
first recopying parts of the typewrlt-
ten lines in fresh typewriting, so that
the print would show as clearly in
the PRINTED page of the magazine
as in the original. In no other way
by the art of printing could what
purported to be a fac-simile OF an
original be made to look like the orig
inal. That is the whole story ias !.

Potato Bugs and Potato Balls

Editor OF k@nnebec Journal:
Recently a query appeared in regard
to the disappearance of the potato ball
and the suggestion was made that no
one seemed able to solve the problem.
The writer saw potato bugs for the
FIRST time in 1876. Colorado potato
beetles they were then called. As they
have increased, potato balls have de-
creased, the slugs eating the blossoms,
till now scarcely one can be found.
The youngsters of today miss the
rare sport of singing the balls from a
sharpeped stick, which was favorite
pastime generation ago.
