q He Won't.

Julius George Kimnitz was taken into
custody by the police today and was sent
to Washington Asylum Hospital for OBJ
servation as to his mental condition. The
police say that Kimnitz wrote to young
woman clerk in the District building ask
Ing her to marry him.
The letter. which was addressed to "a
young lady with dark eyes and hair. /"
asked the recipient to meet the writer
at the Public Library last night. The
writer asked the young woman to wear
a white flower. and stated that he wished
to marry her, declaring that If she be-
lieved in him she would have everything
she desired in the world. The epistle
was signed Julius George Kimnitz." The
arrest was made today by Detectives
CornweI and Baur.
Kimnitz came to this city In February,

tention here.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March IA, 1913
A decision of interest to residents of
Alexandria county and also this city
just handed down by the state court
of appeals is that the act appointing
r. Gordon Finney police justice in
Alexandria county is constitutional.
This, therefore, means that Mr.. Finney
will receive his back salary for a year,
and which has not yet been paid.
The decision was given by the court
in the dismissal of the application of
w. B. Settle, an attorney Of Alexandria
county, for writ Of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Settle was fined by Police Justice
Finney for questioning his right to act
as q magistrate.
The case was appealed in order to
test the constitutionalfty Of Mr.. Fin
ney's position. All criminal cases are
tried before Mr.. Finney. Prior to his
appointment they were tried before the
different magistrates.
The Alexandria Trades Council, togeth-
er with the various locals affiliated with
it, wants 9. new. high school building

erection. The carpenters and 1oiners
also have appointed committee COM
posed of Thomas E. Zones, John Stone
and c. r. Howard to urge the erection
Of the building.

Election Tomorrow for an
Amendment Limiting In
debtedness of City

Meridian, Miss. September 17.-(Spe-
cial. )--There will be an election in this
city Friday, September 10. for the pur-
pose of adopting an amendment to the
city charter, limiting the amount of in
debtedness that can be contracted by the
city to 10 per cent of the assessed valua-
tion of city property. This is made neces-
sary from the fact that a bond issue of
S215,000 has been voted and a good part
of it sold to the New York Life Insurance
company, with the understanding that
which applies to all other towns and
cities of the state by statutory enact
ment.
An effort was made some time ago to
veto this amendment, but it was compli-
Gated with several others, some of which
numerous people opposed and it was
voted down, as it required a two-thirds
vote to adopt. This has compelled the
city to issue scrip in payment of the
city's expenses, even the policemen be-
ing paid off with paper of this character.
During the last few days some oppos-
tion has developed to the adoption of the
amendment, owing to the fact that the
city council. In drafting the amendment,
did not limit it to the sole purpose of the
10 per cent proposition, but put in other
things that would require a charter
amendment for each item, If not voted for
Friday. 1t is not believed, however, that
the opposition to the amendment will be
able to defeat IT, as the city has been
waiting some time on this bond issue and
really greatly needs the money.

Some of those who have recently re-
