TO COMPLY WITH LAW.
Southern Railway to Provide Individ-
ual Drinking Cup

The Southern Railway, in compli-
ance with the new health laws enact
ed by several states, notably Vir-
ginia, which requires that sanitary
drinking cups be used on all passen-
ger trains, is now supplying paper
cups on all passenger trains Of the
system.
One of the latest regulations which
it is expected will be made general
order by the state health board, will
compel all the railroads of the state
to make reports of the condition Of
the water used on passenger coaches
for drinking purposes and to use
pure water only for that purpose.
DR.. E. A. German, health officer, Of
Alexandria, has just supplied the Off
cFals of the Southern with report

ODD FELLOWS OF THIS CITY.
Report of Representative to Grahd
Ledge of Virginia Received.

The regular weekly meeting last
night of Potomac Lodge, No. So, l..
o. O. F., was well-attended and the
proceedings were interesting.
The feature which attracted gen.
eral attention was the report Of
Harry E. Arnold, who was the repre-
sentative of Potomac Lodge at the
meeting of the Grand Lodge this
week. 1t was shown that Alexan-
dria had secured more consideration
from the grand lodge this year than
ever before, w. E. Latham, of Po-
tomac Lodge, having been
elected representative Of the Grand
Encampment to the meeting of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge at Minneap-
oils in September. He will also, as
Past Commander of the Patriarch
Militants, represent the Grand Coni-
mandery.
The third degree was conferred
upon one candidate at the meeting
last night.
Odd Fellowship from the first
found congenial soil in Alexandria
and the two lodges-Potomac and
Sarepta--at the time of their instl-
tuition became stable and h IGNORED in
stitutions in this city.
The elder body is vigordus in its
old age, while the junior long since
crown into a strong organization, is
ppavine its useful part in the princi-
pies taught by the order.
Several representatives Of the two
lodges attended the meetings of the
Grand Lodge. They are all pro-
fuse in accounts of their interesting
and pleasant experience.

WARNING, SELDOM ON HEEDED.
Danger of Attempting. to Board Nov
ing Trains.

A belatei passenger attempted to
board a north bound electric train af-
ter it had started from King and
Royal streets this morning, and he
narrowly escaped being seriously
injured or killed. He seized the rail-
ing of the motor car, in the centre
of the train, but was unable to get
his feet upon platform, and in this
condition was dargged half square
while holding on for his life. People
of the street, realizing the peril of
the man, motioned to the motorman
and the train was brought to a stop.
The number of accidents from this
species of thoughtlessness is legion
and persons have been dismembered
and rendered cripples the remainder
of their lives while others have been
killed outright by falling under cars
while endeavoring to board them af-
ter they have started.
Many Alexandrians are employed
in Washington. Some manage to get
to stations, before the time fixed for
the departure Of trains. Others,
however, prefer to wait until the last
minute and are often compelled to
swing themselves aboard after trains
are in motion. Such should take
heed.

MARKET WELL SUPPLIED.
Many Country People And Buyers on
Hand This Morning.

Notwithstanding the rain. the
market this morning was a busy
place. There was an increase in the
number of country attendants and
BUYERS were more numerous.
There was a profusion of early
summer vegetables, and there were
beautiful displays of flowers on some
of the benches.
Prices in the main showed but
slight fluctuations from those of last
week.
Rural folks were rejoicing at the
sound of the rain on the tin roof Of
the market enclosure, as the ground
had become dry during the past
week. The strawberry crop has been
delayed somewhat from the want of
rain. Some berries have been
brought to this city and sold from
country wagons at ten cents box.
They have not been of a satisfactory
growth nor flavor from the fact that
rain and subsequent sunshine are
needed to bring them to perfection.
They will be plentiful, it is supposed,
within the next week or ten days.

Japan AND UNITED STATES.
Cordial Feeling for United States III
Island Kingdom.

While California is much exercised
over the presence of japanese IN
the State, Japan is actually dlscour-
aging emigration to America, ac-
cording to Maurice A. Oudin, a for
mer Baltimore newspaper man, after
five months spent in Toxic.
Mr.. Oudin is manger Of the for
eign department of the General
Electric Company and has just re-
turned to Schenectady after an eX-
tensive trip abroad. He is man OF
splendid education, of trained pow
ers of observation, and his views,
formed after prolonged stay among
the Japanese people themselves have
special interest at this time. He is
quoted as follows in an interview III
the Schenectady IN. " Unlon-
Star:
The Japanese, Mr. Oudin, said, are
conducting themselves as a proud
and sensitive race should in the pres
cnt controversy. They feel no resent
ment against the Americans, but only
desire to protect their honor and hold
their treaty rights inviolate. War
with Japan, Mr.. Oudin believes, is
but a remote possibility.
"The Japanese government, Mr..
Oudin said in reply to a question,
"enter.ains the most friendly feel
ings to the United States. The
same is true of the people, the senti-
ment of the japanese of all classes
being most cordial towards u.s."

PRESBYTERIANS AT ATLANTA,
Spirited Discussion on Statement
Concerning Belief of Church.

Atlanta, Ca, May II. = For the
first time in the history of Presbyte-
rianism the four grand divisions of
the church-the Northern the South

.ernoon in a union communion service,
Participating were more than 5000
communicates, including delegates
and commissioners to the Pan-Presby-
terian Pentecost and layman from ev-
cry section of the United States.
Presiding over The communion SER
vice, which was impressive in its
simplicity, were Dr.. J. S. Lyons, DR.
R. M. Russell and DR.. J. T. Stone,
moderators of The Southern, United
and Northern assemblies.
A spirited discussion was precipi-
Gated in the General Assembly ses-
sion yesterday, when the report of a
special committee containing "brief
popular statement of the belief of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States" and containing an important
reference to the "elect infant clause,
was submitted. Action upon The re-
port was ultimately deferred unit
Tuesday.
That there was division as II
the sentiment of the committees re
garding this matter was indicated b!
the fact that two members of the
committee submitted minority re
port directly at variance with tina
Of the majority. One portion of th'
report says:
"All who die in infancy, and al
others who are incapable of eXercls
ing choice, are regenerated and save'
by Christ through the Spirit, VIII
works when and where and how H
pleases."
The privilege of the floor wa
granted to Rev. James 1.Vance, DID

Mill Owners of New Jersey
City Employ Guards
For Their Homes.
ARE LIVING IN TERROR
Labor Leaders Plan to Bring About
General Strike-Grand Jury Return
Indictments.

Paterson, May 17.-Fearing that
the attempt of some of the strikers
to dynamite the home of mill fore
man at Fairlawn, is the beginning of
a "reign of herror," hurry calls have
been sent out for private detectives
to come to this city and guard the
homes of many of the mill owners
and other prosperous citizens.
The bomb outrage is blamed on one
of the gangs of marauding strikers,
composed mostly of foreigners, who
have been prowling around the out
skirts of the city in the early hours
of the morning, spreading terror
among the residents.
The marauding bands have chosen
the early hours of the morning to
carry out their threats of intimica-
tion Against mill workers who have
returned to work, and some OF the
more hot headed of the strikers let
it be known today that the Saddle
river bomb outrage would be fol-
lowed by others if the silk manufac-
tureres did not give in soon.
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the central strike commit
tee of the Industrial Workers of the
World was held last night at Turn
Hall. The purpose of the meeting,
us announced in advance, was to
decide upon ways and means OF
bringing about general strike IN
this city.
Partly as result of the defiant al
tituSe of the strikers and of the un-
stntcd criticism of the Passaic grand
Jury, that body today handed in sew
enty more indictments, almost all OF
which were against strikers for un-
lawful gathering.
