Uncle Sam would like 10 have cutt AZ

And every rosarian in this section OF
the country, whether amateur or pro-
tessional, is invited 10 contribute slips
from unusual stems, in order that the

anist can tell with any degree Of ac-
curacy the different species.
So the matter of a representative

CLAIM {. JONES R|XEY
IS HELD ILLEGALLY
Attorneys Seek Release of Alex
andrian From Insane Asylum
on Writ of Habeas Corpus.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va. Nov. 21.-C'laim-
ing {. Jones Eixey. former president of
the Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust
Corporation, has been ordered to the
Southwestern Asylum for the Criminal
Insane. at Marion, Va, without due
process OF law. and that the act of the
assembly providing for commitment was
invalid, Attorneys john l.. Jeffries. of
Norfolk, and James r. Cation, of this
city. appeared before the Court of APP
peals today and asked for his release
on a writ of habeas corpus.
The court took the application under
consideration. and will set a date for a
hearing.
Many interesting points Of law are
embraced in this attempt Of Mr.. RiXey
to obtain his release. the principal one
beirg on the validity of the act OF the
assembly in reference to the criminal
insane. When Mr.. RiXey was placed in
the custody Of the city sergeantsof Alex
andria to be removed to Marion, the
hospital had not been completed. and
he was temporarily placed at Staunton.
here he is still confined.
Another point is that the corporation
court of this city did not have the right
to have a lunacy commission appointed
to examine Mr.. Rixeys sanity. as he
had already been Judged insane by
commission held at Orange, Va, Sep
tember q, 1911.

NEW DEPOT.

Plans for a combination freight and
passenger depot for Belle Chase have
been drawn by Engineer II. r. Gibson
OF the Grand Isle railway. and have
been forwarded to the state railway
commission, which body recently is
sued an order directing the company
TO build a depot at the station named.
Patrons of the road near Belle Chasse
are at loss to explain the wherefore
of the order emanating from the rail-
way commission, as the service given
by the railroad is said to be better
than could be given should the depot
be built. Under the present practice
the train stops at all crossings if flag
ged, practically giving the patrons a
service similar to trolley service in the
city. If all trains are compelled to
stop at the depot, it is thought the
company may refuse to stop at the
crossings.

BIG WIRELESS PLANT TO BE ADD
EDT NAVY YARD.
Will Make Easy Communication With
Ships in Gulf

First step in the rehabiliment of the
naval station below Algiers, provided
for by the appropriation by congress
of $233, 900, has been taken by the navy
department, and a survey of the
grounds has been made, preparatory TO
the erection of a new wireless station.
to be as big as any in the United
States.
Plans for the new station are in the
hands of the officials OF the depart
ment, and preliminary arrangements
have been made with the Algiers Rail
way & Lighting Company for electrical
power.
The new plant will have quadruple
the capacity of the plant now at the
station. The towers will be 300 feet
high. Those of the present plant are
100 feet. The new plant will be oper-
ated by the Polar direct current sys-
TEN, instead of the alternating current
system now used.
The alternating current being used
in four plants on the Atlantic coast is
said to enable the operator to send and
receive messages at much greater dis
tances than by the alternating current
system.
Lieutenant 4 Lee of the electrical
department of the navy conducted the
negotiations with the local company
which cOntemplates the furnishing of
a current of 800 volts for the new
plant.
Under the Polar system" said
Lieutenant Lee, messages can be re-
ceiyed at Charleston, S. c., from San
Francisco with the same speed and dis
tinctness that messages from a dis
lance OF $50 miles can be received by
the old system.
The plant to be erected at the sta
ton will practically cut the distance
to all points of this continent by three
fourthS and will make communication
with vessels in the Gulf of Mexico al
most as easy as telephoning in the
city"
