Heat conditions hereabouts yester-
day were almost unbearable, and tow

vailed which increased the sultriness.
Dark clouds from which lightning
flashed moved to the north and at
times it looked as though rain was

Shortly before nine o'clock refreshing
breezes began to come from the north
east and much cooler conditions fol-

A cyclone struck Hagerstown at 5
o'clock in the evening, which unroof-
ed factory buildings and dwellings,,
uprooted trees, tore down hundreds of
telegraph, telephone and electric
poles and killed three horses that
came in contact with the live wires.
Two heavy storms swept over much
of Washington county. Fields and
roads were badly washed and the wind
blew the corn flat on the ground. In
many places hail stones as large as
shellbarks fell, knocking apples and
peaches from the trees and cutting
the tender vegetables.
Much damage was done to property
by an electrical storm that swept

INTERESTING GAME OF BALL
Alexandria and Naval .Medico Cross
Bats Yesterday.

Alexandria and Naval Medico yes
terday afternoon gave the finest eXhl-
bition of base ball ever staged IN the
local park.
The game was fast and interesting
throughout, but one hour and ten
minutes being consumed for the nine
innings. Both teams fielded brilliant
lv and the two errors made, both by
the home team, had no bearing on the
score.
It was a game of pitchers and sec
ond basemen. There were fifteen
strikeouts and one fourth OF all the
fielding chances going to the cesond
basemen. Eleven of the visitors ac-
ceptcd eight chances, while Miller
took care of twelve. The Alexandria
man was all over the field and played
wonderful game.
Risdon and Rice pitched fine DaIl'
Both had perfect control and showed
strength in the pinches. In seven OF
the nine innings Alexandria sent but
three men to the bat and in the whole
game but five to the first base. Three
hits and a fly were launched on kls-
don in the seventh and in that inning
only was he in danger.
Scrivener led off in the first with
double and went to third on an out
Anderton sent long fly to right but
scrivener ran off third and had to re-
turn. He was caught at the plate by
a yard. Trenary singled in the SECOND
and was soon doubled. Andertor
walked with two down in the fourth
but was left on first. TrenaTy SIN
gled in the eighth and stole second ane
third, but three strikeouts left MN
there. This is the total OF the offen'
sive work of the home team.

Gambler Makes Important Statement
Concerning Staying of
ROSenthal
ADMITS HE HIRED THE AUTO
Police Commissioner Dohcrty Expects
to Have all Facts in Case During
Next Few Days.

New York, July 1S.-A complete
statement of his movements on the
night of the murder Of gambler Her
man Roscnthal, and an admission that
he had hired the car that was used by
the murderers, was made by Jack
Rose, noted East Side gambler, to the
police today.
Rose had been missing since the
murder but turned up today at the
behest, it is understood of Police Lieu
tenant Becker, who has been deeply
involved in all of the developments
in the case. Rose was not placed un-
der arrest, although Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty admitted
that he was remaining at headquar-
ters while certain developments were
looked into.
Dougherty insisted at noon today
that he expected to have all of the
ramifications in connection with the
murder of Rosenthal cleared very
soon. He stated that the opportune
turning up" of Rose was expected to
help the police materially. He refus-
ed, however, to make public any Of the
information he had obtained from the
gambler, who has been alleged to have
been the collector and go-between of
the gamblers who paid tribute and
the policemen who accepted it to per-
nit the house to remain open.
81 cannot tell all that we know about
this case right now," said Dougherty,
"but l will declare it is coming along
as we'll as we could expect. All the
police department asks now Is q
square deal and an even break. II
there was one crooked policeman, OF
dozen of them mixed up in this case
no power on earth can save them. We
will have all the facts soon."
Doughcrty was asked point blank:
"Did anything that iiose said i'm
plicate Lieutenant Becker in any OF
the developments in connection with
RoscnthaPs murder?"
"His story in no way affected Beck.

"Did he clear Bccker?" was asked
again.

ANHEX EXAT|ON PROCEEDINGS
Attorneys For City Meet Those OPP
posed to Movement on
Every Point.

AS stated in the Gazette yesterday,
Judge Gordon overruled the motion to
quash the notices in the case Of the
city of Alexandria against the coun-
ties of Alexandria and Fairfax The
counties then demurred to the notices
and assigned a number of grounds for
the demurrer, the main one being as
to the alleged unconstitutionality of
the act of the Legislature providing
for annexation by cities. This was
argued at great length by counsel for
both sides, the counties claiming that
the constitution provides the only
method by which legislative districts
may be redistricted and that as terri
tory embraced in the proceedings in
cludes property lying in another leg
islative district, that to include it in
the city of Alexandria would be to
redistrict that portion SO that it
would be represented in the Legisla-
ture by the Delegate from the city of
Alexandria instead of the Delegate
from the county of Fairfax, as at
present, and that thus redistricting
would be effected in a method con-
trary to that provided by the consti-
tuition.
While the counsel for the counties
argued their point with considerable
ingenuity, the attorneys for the city
were able to meet them at every turn,
and it is generally believed that the
court will overrule this ground of de-
murrer, as it did the numerous 9TH
erS.
The court took this question un-
der advisement and will render a de-
cision later. In the meantime the
case is set for trial on September

ALBANIAN REBELS ACTIVE
Senator's Leave Albania to Discuss
Peace Terms With Revolutionists,

Constantinople, July 1S.-Before be-

wants him to do so, Tewfik Pasha is
irving to learn whether he can get
enough capable men to fill the rest OIL
the cabinet positions.
Tcwfik, who is ambassador In Lon
don, now is in telegraphic communlca-

TODAY. Probably he will accept the
Sultan's appointment but is is very
doubtful if he can get satisfactory
cabinet together.
Turkey is on the ragged edge OF an
other revolution and only excellent
management and the best OF luck VIII

particular are taking advantage OF the
confusion to redouble their activity
They are defeating the Turkish troops
all over Albania.
All senators left for Albania today

The young Turkish organization IS
completely out of power but some oil
it's leaders are believed to be planning
it's recovery by violence. Foreign DIP

JOKE ON GREEN REPORTER
Wild RumOrs FolIow-Executiye Man
sion Delugcd With Requests Tor
Details of "PlOt."

Washington, July ia little haz-
ing stunt mcted out last night to a
"green" reporter on the White House
"beat" by several veteran newspaper
men today resulted in countrywide
scare that an attempt had been made
on President Taft's life through an IN
| fernal machine.
The new reporter walked into the
press-room of the Executive Offices
to be met with the query:
"Did you get that internal machine
'story'?"
The reporter said he didn't and the
hoax manufacturer told him a remark
able yarn, with all the picturesque de-
tails. Finally because the green re-
porter got so visibly excited, they
told him it was a joke.
But the report that such an attempt
had actually been made nevertheless
spread throughout the country. The
well-known habit Of the Secret Ser
vice to hush up all such stories, cou-
pied with what seemed to be the mys-
terious and persistent denial of all
officials that they had heard of the at
tempt, led number of newspaper
men to assist in spreading the re-
port
The White House was literally de-
luged with demands for information.
All sorts of wild rumors cropped up.
One story had it that it wasn't an eX-
plosive in the "infernal box" but a
deadly gas.
The original report had it that Sec
retary Sherman Allen put out the fuse
in the bomb, burning his hands in so
doing, but heroically saving the lives
of the President and his employees.
Secretary Aliens hands today didn't
exhibit sign of burn. Moreover
Allen carefully explained, in a voice
weary with repetition, that the
White House procedure invariably IN
volved opening of all mail and express
packages by a special clerk, whose
duty it was to sort out the cores
pondence- No package could pos
sibly have gone to Aliens desk un-
opened.
At the White House today news
paper men were asked to give publici-
ty to the declaration that the White
House did not desire to dignity such
an absurd report with official de-
nial.
The clark who sorts the White
House correspondence asserted that
no such package had been delivered
either by express or mail. The clerk
at the Washington postoffice who hand
les all the executive mail declared
that no box had been delivered there
during the last two days. Chief Will
kic of the Secret Service peevishIy de-
MED the story. So did all the guards
at the White House.
The Secret Service was particularly
sore over publication Of the yarn be,
cause it has been their experience that
publicity of such reports, or of cap
lures of cranks at the White House, ir
variably fires the diseased magma
tions of other cranks to attempt the
same think.
