Edward Tabbs. the colored man who
is alleged to have struck and danger
ously wounded George NJ. H. Bennett,
a young National Guardsman. with a
rock on the District rifle range last
night, was arrested this afternoon by
police Of the Anacostia precinct. Tabbs,
who is employed on the range, was
found at his home in Alabama avenue
by Captain Anderson and Mounted
Sergeant Weber.
Benefits condition at Casualty Hos
pital was extremely critical this
morning. The surgeons found 1t neces-
sary to operate on the young man
and removed a blood clot. At the
Government Hospital for the Insane,
where Bennett was taken In car
riage after he was knocked uncon-
scious to the ground, preliminary
treatement was given and DR.. George
H. Schwiin pronounced his condition
to be serious.
Determined to sect Even"
From the information in the pos
session of the police, a gang Of col
ored men had determined to get
even" with some of the National
Guardsmen, who have several COM
panies encamped on the rife range
for target practice. The story told
the police is that Bennett was on
guard duty yesterday morning when
the man whom they are chasing now
came up and got into an argument
with the soldier. Some say the col
ored man was kept at bay with the
mans bayonet and that he declared
he would even up matters with the
young guardsman.
There was a baseball game on the
range yesterday afternoon between the
District soldiers, and at its close Ben
nett entered a small outbuilding on the
place. The police say he was followed
by a gang Of colored men. They
finally Jumped upon him and over
powered him, beating him up badly. 1t
is claimed Then some one threw a
rock at him and he dropped uncon-
scious He was sent In a carriage to
the Government Hospital and afterward
to Casualty Hospital
Prompt Work By Police.
The assault happened at 7:10 o'clock.
In an hour the police had arrested six
colored men, several Of whom are en-
ployed on the range, who were known
to be in the vicinity. The names Of
those locked up are William Moore,
Harry Mckenzie, Fillmore Lucas, Louis
]. Underdue, Aaron Green, and Lewis
Moore. The man who hurled the rock

Cause for Fish Shortage.

Lack of natural food supply is the
reason for the shortage Of shad, olue-
fish, and herring in Chesapeake bay and
its tributaries. according to DR.. Z. l.
Jones, deputy commissioner Of fisheries.
DR.. Jones, who has just returned from
a trip through the Virginia fishing terri
tory, declares that on account Of such
large quantities of menhaden being
caught annually for fertilizer, bluefish
are beginning to devour shad. A double
crime is thus being committed, the doc
tor says, the bluefsh being deprived Of
food and, In turn, eating the shad.

The Church OF Christ Is selected

born In sin. The members are not I'M
der the Law Of Sinai In the sense Of
being required to keep 1t perfectly In
order to get eternal life. Romans
6:14.) Nevertheless, the Law Is very
precious to the Church; for Its spirit
reveals to her how far short Of perfec-
ton she Is In the flesh. and to what
extent the grace Of the Lord Jesus
Christ covers her heshly imperfections.
Thus, the Apostle declares, "the

In us. who walk Hst after the flesh, but
