WORTH A MILLION.
tBy Walt Mason.1

Old Rox is worth a million wheels,
he has them in the bank 1t warns
him up from head to hells to hear his
bullion clank His wealth is famous
in the town, and all tie country DER,
he has his millions saited down, and
rakes around for more We point him
out most every day to strangers and
such duks. and in an awestruck whis-
per say: He's worth a million
bucks" That's the extent of his re-
nown; no natives ever cry: He is a
credit to the town-we'd miss him
should he die" There's old Bill Wax;
he neer could nail the coin little bit,
and when he gets a piece of kale it's
always counterfeit. He's always wear
ing last years hat; his clothing, all
awray, would make an idle plutocrat
climb up a tree and die. Yet friends
are swarming round his track where
ever he may go, and people slap him
on the back and say he is a 10. He
helps the children fly their kites, and
much enjoys the trick; and often he
sits up at nights with neighbors who
are sick; anon he brings a cheerful
yarn to some respondent lads-oh,
William isn't worth darn at sailing
down the scads, but people bless his
blamed old hide, and cry in fervent
tones; Hes sure all wool and ten
yards wide-he's worth million
honesif

Word of Thanks.

The ladies' of the Episcopal church
desire, publicly, to thank an those
who assisted them in making the Ma
tional Troubadours entertainment a
success. Among others they desire
to especially thank the young men of
the Cherokee Club. who endeayored to
secure the Parsons orchestra and de-
fray the expense, but We're disap-
pointed at the last moment by the
musicians.

lures Of last evenings entertainment
was the Indian girls song and dance,
around a fire. These girls dressed in
Indian costumes presented this mum
Der in a way to deserve special men
tion.
The American Troubadours, with
Max Campbell, as soloist, was sung
by the Glee Club of the high school,
at the close of this song the entire
company presented a grand finale
that closed the entertainment in one
grand blaze of glory and left the au-
dienee hoping that more of these
home talent shows would be arranged.

YOU CAN CUSS THE CAR

If you don't like the car service
now being provided-and who
does?- you'll son have a chance
to make your grievances known,
and can cuss right out in public
about the moving refrigerators,
or refrigerators that move when
ever the notion strikes them and

slide by.

ed to appear at the meeting Mon
day and state their side of the
case.
Poorly heated cars, cars in
which there is no heat, shortening
of schedules, cutting down the.
number of through route cars,
ETC., are among the complaints
that will be investigated.
The public meetings by the
subcommittee will be held three
DAYS a week until every one has
had a whack at the ineficiency Of
the transportation system. Al
dermen, representatives of bust
ness associations and individuals
will be invited to appear and state
their complaints. In this way the
whole city will be catalogued,
and the local transportation COM
mittee will obtain a definite basis
on which to demand improve
ment.
One of the greatest troubles is
the practice of the Temperament
tai running of the cars. The
through route sign seldom means
anything, for if the car reaches
central transfer point, and is be-
hind time, every one is ordered
off, and the car is started o. re-
turn journey with about one :oclf
of its route covered. This phase
of the situation will be gone into
thoroughly.

MORE OUTDOOR LIVING

Statistics prove that the death

that the lack of fresh air is largely
responsible for this condition.

White Caps
The figures furnished by the man
agement of the White Caps property
at Manhattan. Nevada. give the in
weston an insight into what the prop
critics of that camp can earn. and
Indicate that for the past is months
the company's total earnings have
yielded s101 ,1O1, the mine producing
57l7 tons of ore. the gross value OF
which amounted to s144,437 The
loss in tailings figured slightly in
excess of $4,000, while the milling
charges amounted to $3S.S41. OF the
SS5,595 The milling ore of the com
pany up to August, 1912, averaged
$37 per ton, but since that time,
while the ore body has widened, the
values have decreased proportion
ately in the vein, so that the average
is now running between SIC and 500
per ton. Almost all of the early pro
duction of the property was secured
through the primitive equipment and
a regular skip of a capacity of one
and one-half tons has replaced the
old bucket, from which all of the
ore was hoisted. The output of the
property has increased from IS to So
tons per day, and will soon be raised
to 100 tons per day. This statement
is important, as it is one of the very
first tangible schedules of this kline
which have come from the camp
giving one an idea of what developed
properties in that section can ac
eomplish once they work out the pre-
liminary details in regard to thei

1t seems odd how sooner or later

explained. and even though these ex-

down violently from s1A to 50 cents

FOR TRUST INQUIRY
BEFORE THE HOUSE
Attorney General Holds
Conference With Members
Of the Committee.

The proposed House investigation Of
the Harvester and Shipping trust was
given severe setback yesterday when
Attorney General Wickersham ana Sec
rotary OF Commerce and Labor Nagel
spent several hours in conference with
the members Of the House Rules Com
mittee.
After the Cabinet officers had thresh-
ed out the trust situation With the COM
mittee In Executive session, 1t was an
nounced the committee had taken no
action, but was inclined TO delay recon-.
mendation to await the outcome of
Government suits pending against both
combinations. The Attorney General
assured the committee that the case
against the Harvester Trust. which has
been under investigation by the depart
ment for years, would be pressed. Wick
ersham declared the Harvester concern
will be included In the Governments
campaign under the Sherman law.
Members Of the committee stated
after the conference hasty action
would not be taken In either case.
Congressman foster. author of the
Harvester trust resolution, said that
while the committee would insist
upon immediate action. the matter
would be left to the executive branch
for the present. II 10 probable that

wireless messages relayed down the
coast BY steamer and shore station
from the Bay Of st. Lawrence today,
give the bare facts Of the rescue of the
feet.
When the two revenue vessels start
ed for the Gulf Of st. Lawrence, navy
men and American sailors declared
without hesitation that in the Ice and
prevailing storms the navigation of
Cabot Strait was impossible, and that
the voyage would never be .accomp-
hshed. Captain Daniels, with the cut
ter Androscoggin, which left Portland,
Me-, i've days ago, found an open lead
IN the ice foes along the Newfound-
land shores, and made the voyage
through the straits and the Gulf Of st.
Lawrence in record time.
A dispatch received this morning at
Revenue Cutter Headquarters from
Captain Daniels says that IL the pres
ent weather conditions prevail for TWEEN
ty-four hours longer every vessel will
be safe. The Androscoggin and the
Gresham are standing at the easterly
entrance OF Cabot strait, waiting to
count the vessels as they come through.
A sudden shift of the wind to the west
or the northwest will mean another
night with the ice. A count Of the ves-
seig was made necessary by wind
shift late last night that scattered
them.
Both revenue cutters will coal at

OF course, that the fishing fleet, valued
at half a million dollars, makes its

ALEAANDHlA, VA, JAN. II.
Two cases involving defunct banks
will be heard In Alexandria courts this
week, in each Of which many Alexan-
drians are vitality concerned. The hear
ings are Of c. Jones Rixey, president
and treasurer Of the Virginia Safe
Deposit and Trust Corporation, which
failed December "a. 1910. involving
thousands of depOsitors here and
throughout the State, and which is
scheduled to be heard in corporation
court next Wednesday; and Of Lewis
Hooff. secretary-treasurer and general
manager Of the Mercantile Railway
Building and Loan Association. which
failed January IL, 1911. While the lat
ter concerns affairs are practically Of
interest only locally, its failure was
felt even more severely than that of
the banking institution, Tor its accounts
were principally with persons of lin
tied means. .
A delay, it is understood, will be
asked in Hooff's case, as his counsel
will request that jury be summoned
from some other portion Of this State.
This move will not be opposed by
Sampel @. Brent, attorney for the
Commonwealth, as 1t Is conceded 1t
would be difficult to obtain disinter-
ested ury In the city. Consequently,
the trial in all probability will be post
poned. Hooff faces ten indictments,
and Is at liberty on bond.
RiNey's case, to be heard Wednesday,
will be fraught with interest, as 1t prob
ably will decide his final disposition.
Rixey was adjudged by three noted
aiienists, and is now confined at the
Western State Hospital for the insane,
at Staunton, Va. 1t is the contention Of
Mr.. Brent, however, that properly he
should be held at the Marion Asylum
and this move will be strongly opposed
by Rixey's array of legal counsel, head
ed by OHM s. Jeffries. An order has
been issued for Rixeys personal APP
pearance In court this week.
Another industry is to be added to
Alexandria interests in the next week,
an announcement having come from
that the Virginia Kid Works. incor-
porated in New York, will locate here.
Otto Geisler, its president, who has
had long. experience at Gloyersville, N.
works. About fifteen men will be emu
ployed. The company will locate in
the building at Prince street at the
Strand formerly occupied by the EN-
erson Steam Pump Works.
An invitation has been extended to all
Alexandrians interested In public health
matters to be present at the lecture to
he given in the rooms Of tho Chamber
of Commerce tomorrow night by DR..
Roy X. Flanagan, of Richmond, direc-
tor of public health.
