AUTOISTS IN CUSTODY
Washingtonians Arrested at an Early
Hour This Morning Charged With
Violating Prohibition Law.

About two o'clock this mofnlhe
Sergeant Scott and Officers Miller
Campbell, Reid and Kerns, VINO "et'
on duty at the time, had their at
tention attracted by the actions o.
three strangers who were passing
through certain streets IN an ae'
tomobile. They finally stopped IN
front of a lunch house on King street
and requested the proprietor to loan
+nem glass. Sergeant Scott and the
officers with him made a search ana
found a quart bottle of "Shoreham
whisky in the pocket of j. Bryan
ono Of the trio. The others gave
+ba;r names as l.. Brown and w.
A. Adams, all claiming Washing
ton as their homes. The three
men were taken in custody upon the
charge of bringing liquor into the
state.
The accused were later released
upon collateral for their appear.
ance before the Police Court this
morning. They had in the meantime
employed Robinson Moncure to de-
fend them.
After Sergeant Scott had made
4+,o,,+ +o +ba cor,-t this morn
ing Bryan, from whose pocket the
whisky had been taken stated that
he and his companions left Wash
ington at / o'clock this morning for
the purpose of visiting Alexandra
and obtaining something to eat. Be-
fore leaving the capital city he pur-
chased the bottle eff whisky from
the Shoreham Hotel. He alleged that
it was not the intention of the party
to drink the liquor in Virginia nor
to violate the prohibition law. 1t
was his purpose he alleged, to take
the liquor home with him. The bot
tie was full and there was no 'evi-
dence to show that any of its con-
tents had been drunk. |
Justice Cation read section OF the
prohibition law which he construed
as covering the case, which allows
the transportation of liquor by the
owner, when not in unlawful quanti-
ties, from one point to another in the
state, and also applies to parties liv-
ing outside the state who do not use
the liquor in the state, nor bring the
same into the state in their baggage
for the purpose of violating any of
the provisions of the prohibition law
He therefore dismissed the accused

LATE BISHOP WILSON
Many Expressions of Regret Heard
in Alexandria, Where He Oc-
casionally Visited.

The death in Baltimore yesterday
of Bishop Alpheus Waters Wilson,
ono of the most reverel and best
known preacher of the South ana
for more than generation perhaps
the most important figure IN the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
was announced in yesterdays Gazette.
The news was received in this city
with many expressions of sorrow, as
the bishop was well-known in Alex
andria, where he had often appeared
during his long life.
For years he had been the Oldest
bishop in his church, both IN years
and in service. He was acknowledged
as the founder of its foreign MIS-
sions and was regarded by thous-
ands as it's most eloquent pulpit ora
tor. lie was bishop 81 years and
preached GA.
For the last month he had been
in the South. attending conferences
and preaching and visiting friends
and for the last few days had been
guest at the home of Bishop COL
Inns Denny in Richmond, Va, attend
ing the Virginia annual conference
and other meetings. He had preach
ed on Sunday and started home alone,
a; usual on his long and frequent
trips.
Before he reached Baltimore he
| realized he was failing in strength
and probably threatened with pneu-
monia, but by sheer will power, his
family believes, he held himself in
hand and managed to call a taxi
cab unaided and reach his home. The
chauffeur helped him into the house
and it was at once realized his condi'
ton was serious. DR.. Henry f. Hill
was summoned and the last fight fol
his life was begun. He was consciou:
shortly before death came.
The funeral will be held tomor
row afternoon and burial will be II

ern minister in Baltimore through
out the war and founded Trinity, the
! first Southern Methodist church
there. He was constantly under sus-
, pi,:pr. as his Southern syn. .'rth:eS
were open, and his life and liberty
were threatened many times.
Right after the war his health fail
ed and for three years he practiced
law, though still preaching as oc.
casion offered, and this was the only
! break in his CD years of ministerial
service until the Sunday before his
death.

THIRD ANNUAL BANQUET FRANCIS JOSEPH DEAD
Octogenarian Austrian Emperor Sue
cumbs at Early Hour Yesterday
Mcrning.

Vienna, Nov. 22-Emperor Francis
Joseph is dead.
| Early this morning the aged EN-.
peror's physicians, who throughout
the day had issued bulletins, made
the announcement that the Monarch
had at last succumbed. Outside the
palace huge throng stood anxious
~ waiting since early in the after
noon, the Emperor's condition had
! been officially declared TO be worse"
Like wild-fre the news spread
through the capita! and the tolls Of
all the city churches. joining in a
solemn chorus, awakened Fienna's
people to the fact that the long-ex-
pectcd end had at last come. The
Emperor was 81 years old.
Then there occurred a curious
psychological phenomen.
No sooner had the first shock Of
excitement passed. well exploited
by the newspapers through extra
editions issued every few minutes
than the people of Vienna appeared
more calm. more sober and more set
tied than probably at any time since
the beginning of the war. A deep
sadness lay upon all male faces
amid the throngs that beseiged the
palace. Women, sobbed, but there
was no hysterical outcry, no panieky
pushing two and fro. no Paintings,
1t was as if all Vienna, and with
the capital the whole empire breathed
a deep sigh of relief
SO long had this event been looked
for, so often had it been predicted,
reported, denied-and so tense was
the atmosphere during the last forty
eight hours-that human nature had
become all predominant it had
come to crave the very opposite of
what it feared.
The Empcror's death comes with
in a few short weeks before the date
-early next montfr--on which he
had decided to confer upon Archduke
Karl Franz Joseph, the Austro-
garian throne heir the right of CO.
regent.
Charles Francis Joseph, grand
nephew Of the dead Emperor sue
cccds to the throne. He is 90 years
old and has been commanding the
Austrian troops on the Transylvanian
front.
Charles Francis Joseph is a nephew
Of Archduke, Francis Ferdinand. who
with his wife was slain at Sarajevo,
June 2S, 1914. by l9 years old Ser
ban. This double murder led to
the war now raging.
Until he was brought to the fore
front as heir apparent by the tragedy,
Charles Francis WIS little known
outside of his own country Had
Emperor Francis Joseph livedI
Charles Francis would have become
co-resent with him on December 2.
