POLICEMAN IS ARRESTED
AFTER AN AUTO CHASE
Hamilton Hall, Jr., Alleged Speeder,
Charges Samuel H. Marks
Shot Him.

AS the result of a sixteen-mile chase
over hill and dale. fast-fying motor
cycle in hot pursuit of an even faster
flying automobile, Motor Cycle Police
man Samuel H Marks of the ninth
precinct was arrested Monday at Up
per Marlboro on charges of assault
preferred against him by Hamilton
Hall, jr., occupant of the automobile
which Marks declares was violating
the speed laws.
Yesterday morning Marks went to the
Police Court and filed charges against
Hall. 1t is the claim of the policeman
that Hall was speeding; that he fail
ed to obey the signal of a policeman,
and that he had no permit to operate
a car The charges will be tried in
the Police Court should Hall return
voluntarily or be arrested
Somewhere in Maryland" Hall
claims. the policeman pulled out his
revolver and shot him in the left hand.
and that is why he had him arrested
for assault, bond for the sum of $3.50
having been given by the policeman
for his appearance before Justice of
the Peace Albert Ridgely at Upper
Marlboro, June 16.
Gave Chase Through Benning.
Policeman Marks spotted Hall at 18th
and II streets northeast, and gave
chase through Benning after the al
legged violator of the speed laws. Down
the Bowen road and along the pike to
Upper Marlboro the chase ran. 1t was
the policeman's belief that the car was
occupied by joy rider. he> said, and
for that reason he was anxious to
overtake it. Marks cap and goggles
few off dlring the long chase and he
was nearly blinded by the dust and
sand. but he kept up with the auto
mobile. 1t is the claim of the police
man that the occupant of the auto
mobile made several attempts to ditch
his motor cycle. forcing him nearly of
the road each time he made an effort
to pass him
The question of where the shooting
was done is the important one that will
come before Justice of the Peace Ridge
ly. Hall claims that the policeman
was in Maryland when he opened fire
on him, but Marks contends that he
used his pistol in the District, and
threw il to one side of the road before
he crossed the District line, fearing he
might become involved in trouble with
the Maryland authorities If they FOUND
a weapon in his possession

 Instead of the thousands of sickly, looking men, woman and girls with pasty or muddy complexions; in- stead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain flags" and pcssimists we should see a vcrile, op timistic throng of rosy checked peO- pie everywhere.

 Those subject to sick headache, bill iousness, nasty breath. rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trifle but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change i'll both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation.

Fort Guards America's Cradle.
 In no territory of like extent in the United States is more historical in- terest gathered than ill that which borders Hampton Roads. Here was planted the first English colony in America; here was held the first gathering of the peoples representa- lives to make their own laws; here were erected the first Notifications in the English-speaking New Wol1d 1; here were fought the land battle that terminated Americas war of independ. ence and the naval battle that revolu- tionized the warfare of the sea. The first Notifications where Fort Monroe now stands were built 305 years ago, in 1911. Since that time, with short lapses, there has been some sort of fortification always guarding the en. trance to Chesapeake bay.

LABOR SECRETARY AT 361H ANNUAL
 MEET A. F. 0f 1.
Greatest Function Depart ment Is Have Wage Earn
 ers' Views Considered.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 13.-Secretary of Labor Wilson delivered the princi- pal address at the opening hero today of the thirty-sixth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor. He said he was present to show which side he was on.
 "The greatest of all the functions of the department of labor," he said ''is that of having the aspirations and philosophy of the wage workers of our country come into the councils cf the president of the United States. "
 President Samuel Gompers of the Federation, in an address. declared . tfat in the relations between the United States and Mexico, the Ameri- can Federation of Labor had part in counselling the Mexican working men,, so that they might exert a steadying influence upon the people and the government of Mexico qua "that the exploiters of Wall street could not drive them into passion and anger. and compel a conflict with our much weaker sister republic of MeN- CO.,
 This statement evoked long ap- plause.
 "The Lusitania situation was taken well in hand by the officials of our government Mir. Gompers aded, "and instead of declaring a war of bluste" the aims and purposes of that dip!o- macy have accomplished all that wa! could secure.''
 After the reading of the synopsis of the report of the executive co ln- cil, the onventionadjourned until to morrow morning.

zEBRAS PREPARE FOR GAME WITH
 CAPITAL BOYS
Bassett Putting Boys Thru Hard Practice for Big"
 Game Saturday.

Pine Bluff high goes against Little Rock High Saturday, for what will most llKel ybe the "big" football game of the season.
 On form, the Zebras ought to win, and to win easily. They have an un- broken string of six victories, this season, while the Little Rock crowd has won but two games. Pine Bluff victories were nearly all badly one sided, whereas Little Rock won by small margins-when she won at all.
 It will be the first appearance here of the Little Rock football squad since 1912, when the Zebras walked away to the tune Of 30 to 0, the big gest score ever rolled up by a high school eleven against another high school eleven. in Arkansas, according to dopists. It will be remembered, however, that the Zebras of 1912 had the greatest scoring machine in Ar kansas high school history, in Sor- rells, Fletcher and Allen. Sorrells is now with Washington & Lee, and ono of the most valuable players on tha, successful squad.
 Active preparations for the game Saturday were started yesterday when Coach Bassett Lad the entire squad out, going thru 2 fast sigma drill for full hour, despite the colo l weather. All the boys were present
 including big Right Tackle Harper who is back at school after missing several days. Harper is prime for the fray Saturday and promises no Little Rock man will get by him. Big Nc

Tin Cen or Canteer7

Popular etymology is always more Interesting than the learned explana- tions of philologists. For instance, take the barra ck-room derivation of the word "canteen." It is no use try Ing to convince Tommy Atkins that it comes from the Italian "cantina," n small cellar. He has his own deriva- tion, which he finds quite satisfactory. "Canteen" Is simply "tin can" said backwards. To justify this theory he simply invites one to look around. Ger tainly tin enters largely into the uten- sils and furnishing of the average can- teen. The drinking vessels are tin, the counter is tin, and in many cases the tables also are covered with block tin. No wonder Tommy holds that the word has some connection with the metal that is so much in evidence.

WITNESSES AFFIRM SWITCHMGN WORK
 OVERTIME OFTEN
Arbitration Proceedings in Progress in Effort to Set
 tie Demands.

New York, Nov. 13.-Arbitration proceedings. looking to a settlement of demands by the Switchmen's Union of North America on thirteen roads fo;' an S-hour day and time and a half for over time work, began here today
 Most of the evidence heard by the arbitration committee, which is com posed Of two neutrals. two men rtp- resentns the roads and two men rep resenting the union, was given by switchmen. James A. Flynn of Buff falo, F. D. Reid of Chicago, A. D. Manley of Michigan City, Ind, and Thomas c. Cashen of Cleveland all said that although the men were sup posed to work ten hours a day, they generally exceeded that period.
 $. C. Hebberling, international president of the union, said the pay of the men had not advanced with the cost of living. He declared switch ing the most hazardous employment in railroad work The pay of the switchmen, he said, advanced only 8 or per cent, since 1906, whereas the cost of living advanced 29 per cent.
 Horace Baker, general manager of the Cincinnati. New Orleans & Texas Pacific, declared the railroads had refused to grant the demands of the men because the present rate of pay is fair and because a shorter work ing day would not meet operating conditions as they exist under the present arrangements. /
 The demands of tho switchmen were made after the passage of the Aeiamson S-hour law for tralnmen fin interstate transportation service.
