RIFLE RANGE, SEAGIRT, n J., Au-
gust 2S.-The teams representing the 1st
and "a Regiments of the National Guard
of the District of Columbia distinguished
themselves yesterday afternoon, when
they captured first and second honors
respectively. in the championship reai-
mental match. sweeping everything be-
fore them in one of the hardest fought
contests witnessed on this range in many
years. The 1st Regiment team scored
IJ4 and the I'd Regiment team 14U The
match started at ) O'Clock in the morning
and aid not conclude until sundown.
Ihe contest was bitter from start to

place at the conclusion OF firing on the
2OD-yard range. At the end of the GUt,-
yard firing the team had forged it's way
up into second place and, batting against
great ODDS on the l,Ustyard range, came
through with flying colors.
In the meantime the ID Regiment team
set out after second honors. This team
also had to fight hard. Finishing in
eighth place at 100 yards, it displayed
determination to make good" and il
did. for when the scores for the GO-yard
range We're compiled 1t was found that
the Second team had trailed right up be-
hind the 1st Regiment team and was in
third place.
When the two teams lined up at the
long range after good rest at noon
they were prepared for the battle of their
lives. The SD Iowa team, which was
holding first place at the conclusion of
the 6lJ-yard firing. commenced to drop
back. and, taking advantage of this, the
capital marksmen plugged away at the
targets in a manner that would have
done honor to veterans. 1t was the old
story of the District militiamen making
good on the long range. The wind was
blowing a perfect gale when the LOCO
yard stage was reached making the win
ming all the more noteworthy.
The 54th Iowa team, which was in
fourth place at 800 yards, was lying right
alongside the District sharpshooters on
the firing line. The best they could do
was to take third place. The match to-
day was the most important up to this
time. carrying with it the title of regi-
mental champions. Private Clouser car
ried off the honors of the two teams at
the long range, scoring 40 out Of pos
sible 80.
The District rifemen were not discour-
aged at not making a better showing
than they did in the 200-yard stage of
the championship regimental match yes
terday, because the conditions were radi-
cally different than on the previous day.
The surprise came, however. when the
10th Pennsylvania team, which was in
sixth place Monday, jumped into the lead
on this range. The Iowa teams which
finished first and second, took a back
seat, while the eastern teams displayed
their ability at the targets.

How reach the question? Forfeit the
charter of every corporation which car
ries another or by gentlemen's agreement
lives in open and notorious adultery with
another. Can this be done? Why not ?
A corporation is only creature of the
state organized to do definite things 1t
is not a natural person with inalienable
rights.
There is another solution. Make the
lawyer who counsels. aids, abets or ad-
vises the formation of trust criminaly
liable. What right has he. because he Is
a lawyer. to draw vicious contracts which
will enable his client to loot the public?
He should be held responsible. He would
not buy a Jimmy for prospective bur-

to think that many a contract which he
draws Is more burglarious than a jimmy.

LIBERAL
PARTY JUNTA SHOWS
ACTIVITY IN CAPITAL

An active junta working in the in
terest of the liberal party of Nicaragua
has been established In this city for the
purpose Of inducing the United States
government to withdraw it's military
forces from that country. The liberal
ENJOYS in this city are Francisco
Altschul, who was consul general for
his country under the Zelaya admins
tration in New Orleans. and Angel
Ugarte, one time Honduran minister
to Washington, but afterward one of
the liberal leaders in Nicaragua.
They are seeking to reach the State De-
partment with a proposal in the interest
Of peace in Nicaragua that the American
naval force there be diminished to a
legation guard and that then the Ameri-
can minister should demand that all fac
tions. including the government, submit
to the will of the people the question OF
political supremacy through free and
fair election.
Little Hope of Success.
1t is highly improbable that the State
Department will entertain any proposal
for the diminution of the force of Ameri-
can bluejackets and marines now in Mica
ragua, so long as American lives and in
terests are in jeopardy.
Senor Tgarte has issued a statement in
which he charged the American dollar

the revolutionary movements in Central
America.
The special envoy arraigned the State
Department for sending American sailors
and marines into Nicaragua at this time.

Urge New Trial for Nichols.

The state Department is preparing
TO make representations to the Mexi-
can government 10 bring about a new
trial for W. G. Nichols, an American.
convicted of murder at Tampico.
Nichols was sentenced TO eight years
imprisonment for killing a man, re-
sponsibility for whose death Is said
to have been confessed by a Mexican.
The department has taken up the mat
ter at the instance of American Consul
Miller at Tampico who reported that
the trial of Nichols was in violation Of
all the rules and justice of Mexican
law.
Whether the American Mormons who
fled from Mexico during the acute
stages of the rebellion shall be permit
ted TO bear arms upon their return to
their homes in Mexico is question
raised by Gen. Steever in one OF his re-
ports to'the War Department from Fort
Bliss Tex. The War Department off1-
cials are inclined to believe that this is
a question which should be settled by
the Mexican government, and that the
American border patrol should allow
the returning refugees to take arms
with them for their own protection if
they have no purpose to violate the
neutrality laws by taking part In the
rebellion on the other side.

Another obpjection to the bill is
that it creates a new Office and will
result in increased expense to the
county. It is true that it creates
some Sc new offices, and also that it
'abolishes some $500 of existing Offices
Whether it will result in increased ex-
pense to the counties is problematical.
In some counties it may do so, and
in others it may not. In any event
the increase, if it results at all, will
mot be very large. If the town asses
sors were being paid fair compensa-
ton at the present time it is believed
that the county assessor would not
cost any more than the local assessors
would cost.
At all events the benefits which
would result from fairer and more
uniform assessment would far out
weigh the increased cost thereof, if

In order that taxation may be fair
