WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
AT!EX ANnRIA VA FER

The verdict of not guilty In the Hoon
trial forms one OF the principal topics
OF conversation in Alexandria today.
AS a general thing Hooft's acuuittal
came as a surprise, although 1t was not
believed the Commonwealth had thor
ouchy established it's case. A disagree
ment was expected. BY agreement of
attorneys. II was decided to submit the
case to the Jury without argument.
Judge Barley's instructions were re-
Earded as favorable to the defendant.
The Jury retired at 1855 o'clock. and at
5:25 o'clock reported it was unable to
reach n verdict. The Judge then ordered
an adjournment until 1880 o'clock, and
the Jury was again locked up. The
verdict was returned at S:25 o'clock.
During the long wait, Hooff sat in
the courtroom with his wife and three
grown daughters. The verdict was re-
ceived with little emotion.
Commonwealth Attorney Samuel O.
Brent announced he would press the
other nine indictments pending against
Iioofc, and April % was set as the
date for hearing.
At the biennial banquet OF the Alex
andria Chamber of Commerce, In Elks'

Rinia, and Senator Reed of Missouri.
Democratic Presidential booms seemed

\ launched. Senator Martin of Virginia,
was suggested by Mr.. Carlin, and Con-
gresham Underwood of Alabama, by
others. Prolonged cheers greeted the

STREET CAR MANNERS.

Il will be difficult TO fit dra awing room

though one might wish some code OF
ethics possible OF enforcement upon
the latter. II is one OF the anom-
allies of city life that men. and some
times even women. will perform man
ners I'm a street car they would never
countenance elsewhere. All OF which
conspire to the annoyance and discom-
fort of riding In a car which other-
wise might be made very enjoyable.
The pay-as-you-enter trolley is admir-
ably adapted to the absorption OF much
that is undesirable and needless, yet
fails often because people persist In
making a nuisance of what was In
tended as comfort and a con-
yenience. II the average person did
not lose his thought for the other

The indictment brought against the
cat by the United States biological sur
vey may strike many persons as rath-
or too sweeping. According to these
experts the cat is neither harmless
nor necessary, but a nuisance and
danger, says the Providence journal.
It destroys the songbirds, and lets the
rats and mice alone Ii is carrier
OF disease. since even when II has
comfortable home il will go abroad
to mingle with the pariahs OF its kind.
1t cares nothing for it's owner and
is ungrateful for the attention II
receives. All this is, In a sense, a
twice told tale, familiar in the mouths
OF the cats enemies But when the
government tells Il the attention or
the most skeptical must be arrested.
There is nothing the various depart
ments and bureaus at Washington do
not know Yet the cat will retain
some friends I'm spite OF this scath-
ing accusation. 1t is perfectly true,
OF course. that the cat is the great
est foe the birds.have. II is also true
that the pampered domestic pet does
not much concern itself with vermin.
1t is also true that disease may easily
be transmitted by the cats fur. But
the determination OF the cat seems to
me rather heavy penalty to impose
for it's sins against society. There Is
reason to believe that man is in part
responsible for these.

II is the belief Of the public health
service that the health of the travel
ing public generally is menaced by
1.-The constant movement OF persons af-
flicted with tuberculosis and other con-
tagions diseases" Obviously this
problem and others Of similar char
acter can be handled only by the fed
eral officials, for reliance upon widely
differing state health regulations, no
matter how honestly drawn or how
rigidly enforced, could not possibly
result in thorough security to the
people at large. The railroads are,
par excellence, interstate industries,
and necessarily must be among the
first to feel the heavy hand from
Washington.

II was a practice among the an
clients to prescribe eating the livers or
animals for patients whose livers were
diseased, and eating the lungs of ami
male for patients who were consump-
tives. Modern medical men have been
disposed to regard the practice as
fantastic. but at the medical congress
which came to close recently in
Paris a Roumanian doctor said the
practice was rational. The principle
underlying 1t, he argued, is that each
organ contains a special chemical COM

ST. Paul, May 13.-Theodore Roose-

in Minnesota which held presidential
preferential primaries.
The biggest victory was in Henne-

ably annexed the entire delegation of
eighty-four for the state convention.
Wabasha county was the only coun-

According to the Roosevelt headquar
ters' figures the colonel received a
popular vote of 1900 in Hennepin
county, which gave him 326 county
delegates; Taft, 5,3S7, and La Toilette,
2,9S5. Taft got ninety-two delegates
and La Toilette thirty-three to the
county convention.
The outside counties went strong
for Roosevelt, as the colonePs man
ayers had foreeasted. In some towns
Taft did not get a single vote and
nowhere was the contest close.
Thirteen counties which have held
caucuses so far, assuming that Henne-
pin county will enforce the unit rule,

gates to the state convention, while
Taft or La Toilette are not assured
