PUT ON BOND
ISSUE WORK
thomson Names One Body to
Work Up Support and An
other to Determine Need.

Councilman A. D. Thomson. chair
man Of the committee of fifteen in
Vestisatins the feasibility of a gen
eraI bond issue has apportioned the
preliminary work between two sub
committees. Upon the report OF these
subcommittee the recommendations
OF the whole committee viii hinge.
Alderman John 5. Gambler is chair
man Of the submittee appointed to
investigate the need of a bond issue,
the other members being Alderman 1
n. Ragsdale and Councilman A. R.
Colcord. Councilman W. G. Hum
phrey heads the second subcommit-
tee, which is charged with ascertain
ing what support the bond issue
WoL!c receive. The associate mem
bers are Councilman Orvine H. Hall
and Alderman J. H. Harweu.
Judge Gambler was one of the origi-
nal advocates Of the proposition. He
also is leading a fight to induce the
incoming Legislature TO submit a con-
stuuonal amendment permitting all
municipalities to issued bonds upon a
two thirds vote OF the people voting
IN the bond election. At present two
thirds of the voters registered at the
last preceding registration must vote
IN favor of the issue judge Gambler
says 1t is next to impossible to get
tWo-thlrds of the registered voters 10
the polls on any day eXceDt a national
election.
The hard work in connection with
the bond issue will be done by Coun-
Gilman W. G. Humphreys committee.
which might be called a campaign
committee Chairman Thomson. of
the whole committee. said Tuesday it
was necessary to gain the support of
the Mayor, the newspapers and GER
tain civic organizations before any
bond issue would have the slightest
chance Of adoption. 1t is up to Mr.
Humphrey and his committee either
to get this support. or report their
difficulties TO the whole committee.
The support investigating commit
tee is what is known as a Woodward
committee. Mr. Humphrey is chair
man Of the Finance Committee. Mr.
Hall is chairman Of the Streets and
Sidewalks Committee and Mr.. Har-
well head the Sewers and Drains
Committee. The Mayor appointed
them all. They have not always
worked in harmony with him, but it
is generally believed they cain gam
his support for the bond issue. The
whole bond committee. however, IS
hopeful of the Mayors support from
the beginning. No dates have been
set for meetings Of the sub commit-
tees.

SLEUTHS PROBING
GEORGIA LYNCHING

AMERICUS, June 24.-Detectives
are investigating the lynching of viii
Redding. the negro who shot Chief of
Police W. c. Barrow, Saturday night
This became manifest to-day as the
detectives were especially busy col
Letting data. Inquiry here affords no
information as to who sent the de-
tectives to the city. They were not
brought here by local authorities
Judge u. a. Littlejohn, of the SUM-
ter Superior Court, will return from
Columbus tonight. He said when he
left for Columbus upon his return he
would have a thorough investigation
of the lynching made. If the evil
dence is sufficient Judge Littlejohn
said he would call a special session Of
the Grand Jury at once to deal with
the lynchers.
A strong public sentiment against
the lynching has developed. At first
this was not so generally manifest
but since the passing of resolutions
by all OF the churches on Sunday con-
demning the lynching the sentiment
has crystallized almost in unanimous
fashion in favor of a session of the
Grand Jury to investigate the matter
On account of the fact that the
lynchers wore no masks and were en-
tirely open in their procedure, an in
vestigation of the affair by the Grand
Jury would likely lead to sensational
developments. Practically everyone
in the mob is known here, if those
who know will give evidence.
Though he is still in a critical con-
dition Chief Barrow is resting as well
as could be expected, according to the
statement issued to-day by his ply
stefan. A favorable symptom is the
freedom from fever and the fact that
the patient has great will power and
nerve control, which may save his
life in spite of his advanced age He
is 70 wears old

VESSELS REACH PORT
AFTER FIGHT WITH STORM
Craft on Maryland Side of River
Last Wednesday Afternoon
Worst Hit.

Information brought here by the mas
tiers OF incoming river craft indicates
that the strength of Wednesdays storm
was felt not more than twenty miles
down the river and that vessels lying
on the Maryland side Of the river felt 1t
more than vessels lying under the Vir-
ginia shore
Capt. Bob Carroll, master of the Wash
ington-owned fishing schooner Virginia,
brought his vessel into port yesterday to
repair damages received in the storm.
The big seine boat belonging to the
schooner was crushed by the seas and
nets and everything on deck was swept
away as the vessel lay at anchor of
Broad creek. In the height of the storm
the vessel began to drag anchors, but
took up after she had drifted mile or
two The getting loose of a water bar
rel under the heavy rolling Of the vessel
caused damage to her rail as the barrel
plunged through it into the water. Capt.
Carroll asserts that he never saw a worse
storm and that the vessel was frequently
swept from stem to stern by big seas.
Captain Expected Death.
Capt Rison. master Of the schooner
Carrie Revell, in port with wood from
Chicomuxen creek, says he never ex-
pected to reach Washington alive. On the
approach of the storm he anchored his
schooner near McGhiespOrt, Nd, about
ten miles below this city and made ready
for the blow. The wind, rain and hail
came at once. Every moment the cap
tain expected the boat to sink under him.
The schooners Josephine Smith, Bel
mont and Bertha May were also out in
the storm, but it was not as severe where
they We're as ii was nearer this city, but
they were considerably shaken up. 1t
was reported that the Josephine Smith
had sunk in the storm, but lying at the
9th street wharf she shows no trace of
having had a battle with the elements.
AS result of her encounter with the
gale, the schooner Belmont came into
port with split sails, but without being
otherwise damaged. In spite of the
severity of the gale. it is said that not a
vessel or life was lost on the river,
though the wind reached a velocity of
about seventy miles, according to the
estimates of the rivermen.

they decidedly will not do, according

These rays have been used abroad

try them on milk. but they not only
lid not kill all the bugs" but they
gave the milk a decided flavor that
would have interfered with his div

The rays were tried again on dirty
milk bottles and again they failed.
Efforts to steriliZe cream were even less
iuccessful than on milk. No scientific
explanation of the failure is attempted
nut the fact remains that the ultra
