PHOSPHATE ROCK COMING.
Steamer Mae From Florida Expected
Tomorrow.

AS has been stated in the Gazette,
the steamer Mae, laden with about
5000 tons of phosphate rock, con-
signed to the Alexandria Chemical
and Fertilizer Company, is expected
to reach this port tomorrow. She is
from Boca Grande, Fla.
The vessel sailed from hhe Florida
port Saturday last and five or six
Gays are required for the trip up
the coast to Cape Henry.
Steamships of the Bull line have
been engaged for several years past
in bringing phosphate rock from
first visit the Mae has even made
up the Potomac, as she has been en-
ployed in the trade between New
York and Porto Rico.
The Mae is somewhat larger than
the steamship Wilhelmina, which or
dinarilv brings the rock to Alexan-
dria.
About three days will be required
to unload the Mae and she will then
60 to Norfolk or Baltimore to load
coal for a Florida point.
In order to accommodate the big
steamships that bring phosphate rock
from Florida to the Alexandria
Chemical and Fertilizer Company the
long wharf of the company is being
extended. About twenty feet is be-
ing added to it and this will make
the pier over 300 feet long, the long
est by far in this section. The
steamers that bring the rock to Alex
andria will now be able to lie theil
entire length inside the pierhead
and lengthening the pier will facili-
tate the unloading of the vessels.
The work is being done by the
Clarke & Winston Co., of Washing
ton

State Board of Education at
Meeting Today Elects
Superintendent.
DEFER CONTEST CASES
Competitive Candidates For Positions
From Different Portions of State
! Urging Claims.

Richmond, May 15.-At the meet.
ing of the State Board of Education
today all the Division Superintend,
ents in which the only candidates
were the present incumbentS were
elected. Captain William H. Sween.
ey, of Alexandria, having no compel.
,5.ors, was among those elected. At a
recent meeting of the School Boaro
of Alexandria, Captain Sweeney was
by unanimous vote recommended
for reelection.
The board was deprived of the pres
ence of two of it's 8 voting members,
and postponed action on contested
appointments until some future
melting. 1t was announced yester-
day by Secretary Ben P. Owen that
Governor Mann would not be strong
enough to come to the Capitol today
and sit through hours of work with
the Education Board, and word was
received that Col. Henry C. Ford,
of the Virginia Military Institute,
is i'll.
1t is generally understood that the
board will defer action on any weigh
ty business until the Governor and
Colonel Ford can be in attendance.
Scores of people from all parts of
the state are in Richmond in behalf
of candidates, preferring not to take
the chance that there would be a
postponement. Many of them are
men who are or have been promi-
nent in public life.
The following, having no opposi-
ton, were among those elected:
Alexandria City-W H. Sweeney
Alexandria County-W. T. Hod-
'ges.
Orange-C. F. Cowherd.
Prince William-G. G. Tyler.

FATHER AND son DEAD.
Sicilian Immigrants AsphyXiated in
Washington Hotel.

Washington, May 15.-Two appar-
emily well-to-do Sicilian immigrants,
father and son, who had come to this
country in the hope of winning fame
and bigger fortune in the New
World, were found dead in bed this
morning in their rooms at the Termi-
aal Hotel, AZ G Street, northwest.
Gas was flowing from partially
open jet, and the fact that the thumb
screw was twisted almost completely
off indicated that neither was familiar
with the modern lighting devices,and
apparently after extinguishing the
light, had twisted the thumbscrew sc
far that the jet was left open.
The victims of this accidental as
phvxiation Were Miguel Martinez
and his son, Manuel. Accompanied by
cousin, who had also come tt
America to seek his fortune, they ar
rived at Mobile, Ala, three days ago
They decided ito 60 to New York, ant
at o'clock this morning they arrived
at Union Station enroute to the met
ropolis. 1t was decided to spend th
night here, and they engaged room
at the Terminal.
| This morning one of the employe
! detected gas and notified the manager
The door of room was forced oper
i and hurry call was sent to the Cas-
!. ulty Hospital. When the ambulanc
) arrived the surgeon pronounced bot
dead.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Two Candidates For Moderator
Causes Lively Contest.

Atlanta, Ca, May ia spectacu-
lar contest for the moderatorship OF
Ihe Presbyterian Assembly, U. S. A,
will reach it's climax this afternoon,
when the forces behind Dr.. Maitland
Alexander, Of Pittsburgh, and DR.. S.
S. Palmer, of Columbus, o., meet in
the first test of strength. DR.. Will
liam McKibbin, president OF Lame
Theological Secinary, of Cincinnati,
has also been put forward, but pre-
convention gossip has it that the
final fight will be between Drs. Alex
ander and Palmer.
The Alexander Palmer contest is
really struggle between the pro-
gressive and conservatives. The pro-
gressive support Palmer, and charge
! that in violation of precedent an Or
ganization has been effected in sup
port of DR.. Alexander and that So
licitations in his behalf nave been
made for months.
1t has been made to apear, they
say that DR.. Palmer is a radical, and
and that he is lined up with Union
Seminary. DR.. Palmers friends
claim that while he is a progressive,
ihe is not radical. No radical can
win the moderatorship, according to
commissioners who are alraedy here.
| No ultra-conservative can be elected,
they also agree.
The consent for. moderator is in
some respects, q fight between the
two great Presbyterian seminaries-
Princeton and Union. Princeton is
the mos. conservative of theological
institutions, and Union has adopted
many of the modern tendencies and
has on it's staff many advanced
! thinkers.
Interest centers chiefly in the joint
conference of the committee on union
appointed by the Southern Presby-
telian Assembly and the United
Presbyterian Assembly.
Il. was said the reports would not
recommend or discourage union be-
tween the two organizations, but
would set forth the basis upon which
uinon might be attained.

Lack of Maternal Attention.

J Washington, May 15.-Declaring

LEWIS BOY FOUND
IN WASHINGTON
Mother Identifies Son Who
Had Been Kidnapped by
Husband.
LEFT ON DOORSTEP.
Child Was Taken in Charge by Board
of Children's Guardians of District
of Columbia.

After vainly hunting for her child,
Alexander Lewis, a ) year old boy,
since February, and believing that he
had been murdered and his body
either buried or burned, Rosie Lewis,
young colored woman, was overwhel-
med with JOY this morning when the
youngster was found to be we'll and
alive in Washington.
The discovery of the child was due
to the publicity given me trial of
her husband, Charles Lewis, Tuesday
morning, on the charge OF kidnapping
the infant. Lewis, who is not the
father of the boy, secured possession
Of him last February from a Mrs.
Wright, with whom he mad been left
while his mother was at work in
Washington. He claimed that he took
The boy to his old home in McDermott
Court and that during :ne night the
chigG disappeared. Although every
effort was made by the police depart
ment to shake the negro's story, he
refused to change it in any way, de-
claring that he did not Know the
boys whereabouts at present.
Some of the officers of the Police
Department believed that the child
had been murdered as the Lewis wo-
man Testified that her husband had at
Gempted to kill It on former occa-
sion. A thorough search was made of
the premises and part of the lot sur
rounding the Lewis house was dug up
but no trace of a crime was found.
Yesterday afternoon Police head
quarters received a telephone message
from Miss Butcher, OF the Board of
Children's Guardians of Washington,
that child answering the description
Of the missing youngster was in her
charge. She stated that the child had
been abandoned on doorstep in
Washington last February and al
though an effort had been made to
find it's parents the Washington au-
thorities had been unsuccessful. The
boy was placed in private family in
Washington and was being cared for
by THE authorities.
This morning, Miss Butcher, in re-
sponse to a telephone message from
the Gazette, stated that she would en-
deavor to find the mother in Wash
ington and complete the Identification.
This was done and at noon she tele-
phoned that the mother had fully
identified her son and was made very
happy at his discovery.
In order to secure legal possession
of the boy it will be necessary for
the matter to go before Judge De-
Lacey of the Juvenile Court and this
will be done at once.
As the child has been found the pro-
ceedings against Lewis will in all
probability be dropped. He is now
serving a 60-day sentence in jail for
assault.
