COMPULSORY TAPPING
Ordinance Abolishing Wells, Boxes
Sinks, ETC., Passes
Alderman

The ordinance providing for COM
pulsory tapping of sewers by own
srs of property AUDITING on streets
,r alleys upon which the same have
,een constructed was called from the
able in the Board Of Aldermen last
night and passed by vote OF hVe
20 three.
According to notice given by Mr..
Ballenger at the last meeting, he
called up the ordinance, which was
laid over April, 1911. The ordln-
ance passed by Common Council pro-
vided that the provisions would not
become operative until one year at
ter its passage.
Upon motion of Mr.. Ballenger this
was amended and made to read three
years after the passage of the ordln-
ance. There is penalty attached
for failure to comply with the law.
While this law may work hard
ship upon some who own smali
houses upon the line of sewers, when
connections shall have been made
the value of the property will be en-
HANGED far above the original cost
Besides ample time is allowed for
preparations for tapping.
The new health law having been
adopted by both branches of the
CITY Council it now awaits the sig
nature of the mayor in order to be-
come operative. The ract that the
obliteration of all nuisances which
can be abated by tapping sewers
should be realized by all, and, as a
member of the Board of Aldermen
suggested at the last meeting, such
connections are indispensable in or
der to carry out sanitary princl-
pies.

.kSSA|LANT STILL At LARGE
Posses Hunt for Negro who Attacked
Mrs. Hoffman Monday
Afternoon.

Armed posses, which threatened TIC
take justice into their own hands
should they find the negro for whom
they were searching, secured the nils
and underbrush for miles around TINS
city yesterday, looking for the assall-
ant of Mrs. Maude Hoffman, near hei
home at Addison, 8 miles south OF
Washington, on the line of the
Washington-V Virginia Railway. The
police of Washington and other near.
by towns were also asked to keep
sharp lookout for the young negro
but up to late hour last night moth
ing had been heard of any one answer
ing his description.
Two false leads were run down py
the posses yesterday. 1t was report
ed that negro answering the descrlp'
ton furnished the police by Mrs. Hotf'
man, was employed at Stoneburners
dairy farm, about three miles iron
the scene of the assault. AS the ne
gro had inquired the way to this farm
before attempting his attack, it wa;
believed that he was the man wanted
and several posses started for the
farm. While they were searching the
hills for him, however, he entered the
police station in Alexandria, declar
ing that he had heard he was wanted
but was innocent of the charge. HI
gave the name of Sidney Archer
When brought before Mrs. Hoffman
she declared that she was positive hi
was not the man.
The other false lead was followed u
the Coleman home, negro boarding
house, two miles from the Holman
house. John johnson, who is en-
ployed in the brickyards, was caught
by the posse and brought before Mrs
Hoffman shortly before she startec
for this city, but she declared ne was
not her assailant.

CAN INCREASE SPEED.
Electric Trains to Be Allowed to Make
Twelve Miles an Hour.

An ordinance allowing the electric
railway company to run trains within
the city limits at twelve miles an houl
passed both branches of the City Coun
ell last night. Heretofore they were
allowed to run at an eight mile speed.
The company's officials had asked to
he allowed to run trains at fifteen
miles an hour.
About twelve years ago an ordln-
ance was passed by the City Council
limiting the speed to four miles al
hour. The ordinance, however, was
short lived, as it took trains almost
as long to get out of the city as 1t
did to make the run from the corpora
ton limits to the south end of the
bridge over the Potomac. This prov
ed unsatisfactory to many AleXan-
drians who conduct business in Wash
ington. The ordinance was soon am
ended, since which time trains have
been allowed to proceed at eight miles
an hour. This in this busy cay has
not been satisfactory; hence the act
ion of Council last night.

vinced him that the people Of the
State are overwhelmingly for Col.
Theodore Roosevelt for tho Republi-

calls upon tho people to elect dele

Governor Glasscock says in part
81 believe it Is generally under

for President Taft, but a careful can
vass Of the situation has thoroughly
convinced me that an overwhelming
majority Of the Republicans of West
Virginia are for Roosevelt. | am GER
tain Roosevelt will not seek the NOM

he would not accept it If It came as
the result Of intrigue for his personal

1t.
so far as I am personally concern

Trying to Edit House journal?
columbia Record.


A message from the Governor, de-
string that the House Journal be cor
rectcd in several Instances, aroused a
slight flare-up in the House to-day,
when Mr.. Sawyer moved to refer the
matter to the judiciary committee.
Mr.. Stevenson objected and moved
as a substitute that the speaker and
clerk make comparison as to the al
legged errors and correct them where
necessary. Mr.. Sawyer moved that
the journal be corrected, taking the
position that 1t couldn't be corrected
unless 1t was wrong. Mr.. Browning
stated that in one OF the instances, as
he caught the message when It was
read, 1t sounded as if the Governor
were trying to edit the journal, and
in this case he thought the message
should go to the judiciary committee.
The matter was ended by an an
nounccmcnt from the chair that the
speaker Of the House would assume
responsibility for making the corrcc-
tiOns.

PRESIDENT PARDoNs MORSE.
Glad to Be Free Man, Says Prisoner.
Still Sick.
.(Atlanta Constitution, 19th.)

(Atlanta Constitution, 19th.)
Charles w. Morse, after serving
Two years OF flfteen-year sentence
in the Federal prison here for vio-
lation Of the banking laws, and af-
i9r making a most determined fight
tor executive clemency, was granted
q full pardon yesterday afternoon by
President Taft.
At $50 o'clock Warden Meyer, Of
the Atlanta penitentiary, in whose
alstody Morse had been for two
years, received a telegram from the
department Of justice in Washington
advising him Of the action Of the
president. The message to the war;
don was brief. 1t merely recited the
fact that pardon had been written
for his ward.
Morse Hears tho News.
Within a short time after receiv-
ing the message Warden Meyer
drove direct to Fort Mcpherson, and,
without delay, was conducted to
Morse's sick room.
With the prisoner at that time was
DR.. a. l.. Fowler, Of Atlanta, who at
tended Morse while he was in the
penitentiary, and before he had been
transferred by orders Of the depart
ment OF jus ice to the military hos
pital for observation.
DR.. Fowler was then physician and
surgeon resident at the penitentiary,
but having resigned shortly before
The transfer, he became physician to
the patient at the patients soicita-
don, after he had been taken to the
post hospital.
Morse had heard the news Of the
harden before Warden Moyer ar
rived, being given the news by Major
Baker, and was prepared to receive
It again calmly. TO tho warden's
pleasant information Morse simply
replied that he was glad to be a free
man again, but was in no way elated
over what was told him. Warden
Meyer observed at a glance that the
patient was pretty weak, and that he
was in a highly nervous state, made
so, probably, by the good news, and
remained in the sick room but a few
minutes.
At the military post, none except
those having official business with
Morse was allowed to even enter the
hospital. Major Baker, who had first
told Morse that he had been par
doned, refused pointedly and posi-
tfNcly 20 even come 10 the Cutranc0
door 10 tho l3spita when ~3Iod, Nj
message had Ic Cc sent iyOm The Ne-
.r;Inda to The n.njur hy q private. wha
answered fhe bell, AA& Zach giaIa shat
private brought back the same an
swer.
Major Baker refuses absolutely to
admit any one or to talk to any one
about Mr.. Morse"
Will Not Leave Fort.
While Morse's pardon removes him
from the watchful eye Of the govern-
ment, it is hardly probable that he
will leave the; fort soon The pres
ent indications are that it will be
some time before he is able to stand
even the short trip to the city, and
until he is he will remain in the
ward he has occupied since being
transferred from the penitentiary.
