NEWMAN WILL FILE
ANSWER TO ORDER
Commissioner Declares That
FrizzelPs Petition Was Not
Filed in Good Faith.

Answer will be filed by Commissioner
Newman to the order of Justice Wright
citing him to show cause within twenty
days, exclusive OF Sunday, why a writ
OF QUO warranto to test his eligibility
to hold office as a Commissioner of the
District should not be issued against
him. The nature Of the answer, Com
missioner Newman said today. will moi
be determined on until consultation with
his attorney, Jackson II. Ra ston.
Apparently ur.conCerned by the et-
crts OF the home rule committee to
remove him. Commissioner Newman is
preparing TO resist the action with
He declares he meets every legal re-
quirSment, and was appointed by the
Precedent and confirmed by the Senate
after careful examinations of his quail
fications. The good faith of the pro-
ceedings against him is assailed by
Commissioner Newman. He declares
he believes the petition of w. J. Frtz-
zell was not filed in good faith. but at
the ''instigation of persons unknown TO
him, whose animus should be made the
subject of inquiry and whose names
and contributions should be fully dis
closed to the court"
The right of Mr.. Frizzell to bring the
suit is questioned, his interest in the
matter being too impalpable, it is de-
clarcd, he paying no personal taxes IN
the District and only $l7s in real estate
taxes, out Of a total Of 100000 an
nually collected.
Attempts have been made by Mr..
FriZzell, who is a member of several
civic organizations, to obtain the re-
movaI OF former Commissioners, though
not by court action. Mr.. FriZZen was
a consistent foe of former Engineer
Commissioner Judson. and lost no op-
portunity to assail him and his policies
during discussion Of District affairs in
the various organizations. About year
before Colonel Judson was ordered to
the Panama Canal Zone endeavOr was
made by Mr.. FriZzell to obtain his
transfer from the District. but his ef-
forts met with no encouragement from
President Taft or the War Department.

NAME IS SUGGESTED
FOR NEW MAUSOLEUM
"Grave of Thousand Heroes Is
Title Proposed for Edifice to
Hold Dead Officers.

The Grave OF a Thousand Heroes
would be fitting name for the proposed
nausoleum at Arlington Cemetery. iu
which 1t Is planned TO place the bodies
Of one thousand officers of the army
and navy who have distinguished them
selves in the service of their country.
The construction of the mausoleum,
which is to cost $3.50. 900, is provided for
in a dill introduced by Senator Catron Of
New Mexico. and which has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Military
Affairs.
An amazing feature of the plan Is
that II Is proposed by certain curious
processes to emulate to a certain ex-
tent the practices of the ancient Egypt
ians, and preserve the bodies of the
heroes buried there In their original ap-
pearance, or so near to 1t as may prove
possible.
The processes involve the creation of
absolutely moistureless compartments.
in which the bodies Of the army and
navy officers will be placed. II Is held
that without moisture putrefaction cam
not set in, while once hermetrically
sealed the thousand crypts Will require
no further attention. -.
One of the great advantages IN plac-
ing the mausoleum at Arlington Gene
terry, II is held, Is that this spot, being
naturally such an attraction, and being
the last resting place of SO many
heroes, will afford an opportunity to
more people for visits than would most
other locations.

Mexican Munition
Returned to Makers

NEW ORLEANS. La. Sept 3.-After
having been the direct cause of several
law suits and a number of thrilling ex-
periences 2,16s boxes of ammunition and
l56 cases of rifles have been returned to
a northern arms factory. The arms
were intended originally. II is believed,
for the ill-starred revolt of Felix Diaz
at Vera Cruz.
Several Mexicans were ar 'ested and
tried, but acquitted. A large hardware
firm also was called upon to answer for
an alleged attempt to break the neutral
ity laws, but no infraction Of the law
was shown. Since then there have been
several changes in the ownership of the
property, but all efforts to get the muni-
ton out Of the country have failed The
last owner. an Englishman, from Mexico
City. who bought the arms and ammuni-
ton for speculative purposes, found the
arms company itself the best purchaser
he could find.

Lind in Interior;
Travels in Safety

VERA CRUZ. Sept. s.--Cvia Galves-
ton. John Lind and Rear Admiral
Fletcher were expected back here
late today from Vista Hermosa a
large sugar plantation Ill miles In
the Interior. They went there yester-
day, and none of the mishaps pre-
dicted by the alarmists who sought
to dissuade the special envoy have
occurred.
Lind went to visit an old friend
from Minnesota, who Is In charge OF
Vista Hermosa, only thirty miles
from the largest OF the Zapatista
camps. The last part Of the journey,
made by horse, led Lind and his
companion close 90 the rebels.
II was the belief here that Lind
went away to demonstrate clearly
that no negotiations are now going
on between the United States and
Mexico. 80 far as Is known the en-
voy has not received 4 communities
tion from any Mexican official this
week.

gust 36 from his home. 97 Maryland

The aged man makes his home with
his married daughter. and on the day

lice search for him.

Cook also testified that ne heard OtCon-
nor swear at Third baseman Corridef.
for getting his hand on ball hit by La
1oie, thus causing Lajoie to be credited
only with a sacrifice.
julius Cronheim, who sat in the grand
stand with Cook, testified that he hearf
the instructions to the players similar to
those testified TO by Cook, but said he was
not so sure of the voices of the speakers
as was his companion.
A deposition filed in the case today by
President Ban Johnson of the american
league stated that Johnson ordered the
dismissal of O'Connor on the ground that
he had instructed Third Baseman John
Corriden to play back of the base when
Napoleon Lajoie was at bat for ~.eveland,
thereby enabling Lajoie to run up his bat
ting record.
President Hedges of the st. Louis team
denied he discharged O'Connor at the or
der of Ban Johnson. He also said that
between $4,000 and 100000 had been in
vested in the st. Louis Americans and
that in the last three years 100000 had
been spent in Strengthening the team. Mr..

through the excellence of Elmer
Brown. The fans, if they desire,
might point to the fact that the
Baron pitchers were not up to
tie necessary standard, or that we
didn't hit, or that we pulled at
least one bone" on the bases, or
that with eight walks we should
have pushed more than one run

All these arguments might be
made. But at the same time the
facts thrust themselves home.
Brown was in magnificent form.
He whitfield an even dozen of the
proud Barons and permitted them
but two little hits.
In baseball, as in everything else,
1T all depends on the viewpoint.
