NOT WELD. STICK,
Drunken and Disorderly Man Taxes
Officers Patience Yesterday
Evening.

Occasionally policeman is forced
to use his baton upon refractory
prisoner in order to protect hImsclt.
A number of instances could be recall
ed which show that if officers had
,een minus their sticks while engag-
ed in arresting certain desperadoes the
laws representatives might have been
killed. Many years ago an AleXah-
dria policeman was shot and killed
while engaged in keeping espionage
upon two men who had, it was bellev-
ed, came to this city from Washing
ton one Saturday night, for the pur-
pose of committing a robbery. On an
other occasion a burly negro at
tempted to slay an officer with an axe
when the latter was about to arrest
him. The officer used his stick IN
time to thwart the negro, and sue
ceeded in knocking him down.
It often happens that when a man
is brought through the streets bleed
ing from a blow policeman's baton
that people who know nothing what
ever of the facts in the case express
great sympathy for the prisoner and
contempt for the officer. There may
be cases when the use of the stick
could have been avoided, but in the
great majority of instances the officer
resorts to his club only in self-de-
fense.
Late Yesterday afternoon an Old
offender named Louis Cavanaugh ap-
peared on upper Duke street drunk.
He was going from door to door, beg
ging when Officer Henderson inter
cepted him. Cavanaugh objected to
the officers interference and resist
ed him until Henderson summoned a
man who was nearby to assist him in
conducting the obstreperous individu-
al to the station house.
Although under arrest, the prisoner
still resisted the officer, attempting
to break away. Cavanaugh in the
meantime made attempts to strike
the officer, but the latter was on the
alert and warded off his intended
blows and succeeded in landing the
man in the station house without
causing him so much as scratch
Cavanaugh cursed the city all the way
to the station house.
People on the streets could not heip
noticing the patience of the offlcer
under the circumstances. When
brought before the bar this morning
Cavanaugh was given go days in jail,
and the City Sergeant was request
ed to notify the state authorities that
Alexandria has another eligible for
the roads.

Adults Not Affected by Or
der Of the State Board
Of Health
MANY ARE AFFECTED
Old Dominion Closes Against the
States of New York. New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.

| Richmond, Aug. %. (Speclal)-Ap-
solute State quarantine against chill
4 Idren under sixteen years ofgage who
are residents of New York, New Jer'
isev and Pennsylvania was yesterday
declared by the State Board of Health
at a called meeting, to become effec-
tive at 1901 a. m. today.
Adults may enter the State without
hindralece. Virginia children under
16 noG in infected areas may enter
the State, but must remain under two
weeks quarantine. In exceptional
cases; discretion is left with the State
Health Commissioner to issue special
orders to meet cases not provided for
under the general quarantine regula-
tions adopted yesterday.
The resolution adopted by the Board
reads as follows: 4;
believing that poliomyelitis among
adults is rare enough to justify the
feeling that from quarantine stand
point it is negligible, and reailzlng
that the age of selection is under 10
wears, Therefore, be it resolved that
the State Board of Health declare a
quarantine against infected areas,
such areas to be determined by the
Commissioner of Health from time
to time as he may deem it necessary.
"The provisions of this quarantine
shall be as follows:
"No child under sixteen years Oh
age not resident of the State OF
Virginia, shall be admitted at all from
infected areas.
Gail children resident of Virginia
and temporarily sojourning in infect
ed areas shall be readmitted to the
State only on the condition that they
submit to two weeks absolute quaran-
tine.
"The State Health Commissioner
shall formulate special rules and
orders accordingly and shall use dis
cretionary power in issuing supple
mental rules and orders for excep-
tional cases not covered by the quar-
atine."
AS far as the public safety permits,
no handicap has been put on gen
eral traffic and none will be imposed
unless necessary. Virginia children
who are now in areas infested with
infantile paralysis will be allowed to
return to the State if they submit to
two weeks quarantine.

WILL SUMMON GUADRS
State Authorities to be Notified That
a Number Of Eligible for Roads
Are Here in Jail.

During the present summer num-
her of undesirable" have been sen.
fenced by the Police Court to serve 90
day terms in jail. Most of the sub
iects are chronic vagrants who pre-
fer to be listed in that class. A few
days ago a white man was sent to
the workhouse for 90 days for vag-
rancv. being without home and
liable to become charge upon the
community. Upon being ensconced at
the corporation farm he soon grew
tired of agricultural life, and took
French leave. He was picked up by
the police and brought before the
court. when he Stated that he prefer
red finishing his sentence in jail. as
he could not get along with the over
seer of the poorhouse. He was ac-
cordngly sent to Jail. The delinquent
was averse to work, no matter how
light, and desired to while away his
time in idleness in jail.
An old offender. a white man, was
arrested yesterday for drunken AMI
disorderlv conduct and vagrancy. He
was sent up for ninety days. Jail Of
ficials were present at the session of
the court this morning, and they were
asked if any acquisitions had been
made for road service recently. The
court was told that some time had
elapsed since there had been any re-
cruiting by the state authorities. 1t
was suggested that word should be
sent those officials Immediately that
Alexandria has a number of eliglbles.
The Jail officials will notify them at
cnce.
It has been stated several times
recently by the Gazette that laborers
are scarce in Alexandria. Able-bod-
led white and colored men can find
employment if they look for it.

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.

There will be introduced in the Rus
sian duma bill to abolish the pale
and give to. Jews the same rights as
other Russian subjects when that
body convenes in November. This bill
has the support of the progressive
party in the duma, therefore, of the
majority. It will contain three essen
,tial parts. The first has for it's object
the removal of the pale (within which
the Jews of Russia, with few excep-
tions, have had to make their homes),
thus enabling themF,to live wherever
they choose. The second will remove
some of the educational limitations
placed on the Jew and the third will
make it possible for him to choose any
profession or trade he cares to F..
An article in this column yesterday
told of the modern spirit which is now
animating the people of Russia. One
of the best indications tnat the MUS
covites are emerging from the maz.
es of mediaeval superstition is the
fact that they realize that Israelites
have rights they should respect.

left Russia and made their homes in
this country are bitter against the
Muscovites from the fact that they

wARPrcrUREs-
Films to be Shown in Alexandria To-
morrow Night,

morrow Night.
Be your own eyewitness and do
not miss seeing the most sensational
photoplays ever exhibited of the
worlds great war, which will be
shown at the Richmond Theatre to-
morrow, Saturday night. These films
which bear the title of "Germany's
Battles at Verdun," were taken by
order of the German general staff for
the Imperial archives, so that they
could record the achievements of their
people in the greatest chapter of the
worlds history.
Here in America we cannot gain
any real conception of what goes on
in the great conflict across the seas,
as we have to rely upo nreports and
kilograms which either greatly eXag-
gerate, or else have been savagely at
tackled by the censor's blue pencil.
The pictures of the actual fighting are
absolutely genuine, and were obtained
by the use of long-range telescope
lenses from great distance; it is
clearly evident how very different
these scenes are from the faxed up
and rehearsed effects in so-called war
drama. Here in these films men arc
killed by the score, Zeppelin de-
stroyed, aeroplanes brought down.
warships sunk in. the Dardenelles; In
fact. grim War in every phase Of its
tragic splendor passes before ones
eyes.
1t is spcial tribute to the faithful
ness of these films that wounded
officer from the Allied army in France,
now in Alexandria has vouched for
their accurancy.
:, In addition to the films already al
luded to there will be exhibited sever
al thousand feet of the first authen-
tic pictures of Gen. Pershing's expe-
dition in Mexico.

TEETH OF GREAT SAW
Such is Suggested BY Allies Front
in the Western War Zone by Re-
cent Acquisitions.

London, Aug, 25-Marked gains for
both the British and French are re-
corded in yesterdays official state
ments issued at London and Paris.
British troops have advanced 300
yards south of Thiepval, capturing
German trench 400 yards in length
and many prisoners, while French
troops have completed the occupa-
ton of Maurepas and carried their
lines 200 meters beyond the town on
front of two kilometres, according
TO the Paris communication.
The French are violently lombard
ing the German lines from Estrees,
which marks the southern extremity
Of their present offensive, to Lassigny,
a distance of about 80 miles, accord
ing to the war correspondent Of La
Liberte, of Paris.
The correspondent says that heavy
cannonading is in progress along a
line from Yermandovillers through
Ligons, Chaulnes and Rove, to Las
signy. The destructive French fire
has drawn the German airmen across
the French lines, contrary to their
custom. They are apparently trying
to reconnoiter the position of the Al
lied artillery.
Several German ballons agar
have appeared in the air." says the
correspondent, ''but were withdraw
quickly when attacked by French air,
men. Scouting machines sent out by
the Germans were driven back after
numerous air battles. The artillery
action in the last IS hours over the
entire Somme front reached an ex-
traordinary intensity. The German
guns replied vigorously and some OF
their batteries were silenced.
The Germans launched Wednesday
night a series Of attacks against the
British positions in the neighborho~
of Guillemont and on French positions
in the Soyacourt Woods, south of the
Somme. All assaults failed with heavy
losses to the assailants.
Positions between Fleury and
Thiancourt, which had ben taken by
the French, were shelled violently by
the German guns. In this the French
took more than $50 prisoners.
In the Champagne, several German
surprise attacks on minor French
post in the Tahure region were repul-
sed easily.
Berlin. Aug. 25-- French infantry
made several attacks Wednesday
night in the region of Thiaumont

assaults, the War Office reports, were
unsuccessful.

Congressional Incumbents
Will Lose $3.50 Each
by Law.
MR.. POLLARD'S RULING
Holds That Fund of $3.50 Paid by
Candidates Can Be Recovered Only
From Legislature.

Richmond, Aug. 25.-holoing thas
relief can be obtained only through
action of the General Assembly, At
torney-General John Garland Pol
lard yesterday decided that Auditor
Moore has no warrant in law for re-
turning to candidates, whose nomlna-
tions were uncontested, fees deposited
with the Auditor for the privilege OF
entering the August primary.
While recognizing the justice OF the
claim, Mr.. Pollard holds that an off,
Ger to whom money is paid in pursu-
ance of a statute is without warrant
to make disposition of the money, un-
Jess authorized to do so by an act of
the Legislature The primary law it.
self makes no provision for the return
of fees.
Counsel who filed a brief with the
Attorney General in support OF the
claim made by candidates that their
money should be returned, contended
That, inasmuch as the primary law
Of 1914 is silent on the subject, the
act of 1912, providing for the return
of fees where the nomination is un-
contested, is still operative, and
should prevail. They argued, further
that the money was paid in to dcfray
the expenses of primary that was
never held.
Mr.. Pollard holds that the primary
law Of 1914, is complete in itself, en-
tirely superseding the act of 1912, and
that all provisions of the old law not
carried into the new are, by implica-
zion, repealed. He holds also that fees
are not required for the purpose OF
paying the expenses of the primary.
inasmuch as they are paid to @the
State, while primary expenses are de-
frayed by cities and counties.
Mr.. Pollard's decision will affect
Senator Claude A. Swanson, Harry
St. George Tucker, William A. Jon
es, Walter A. Watson, Carter Glass,
James Hay, C. c. Carlin and Henry
D. Flood, each Of whom deposited
with the Auditor the sum of $50
for the privilege of becoming a can
.didate for Congress in the August
primary. Mr.. Tucker put his en-
trance fee, pending a decision to en-
ter the lists against Senator Swanson
The decision was never made. The
other candidates had no opposition,
and asked for the return of their
fees on this ground. The matter was
referred to Mr.. Pollard by Auditor
Moore, who doubted his right to REIN
burse them.
In rendering his decision, Mr.. Pol
lard cited the cases Of Floyd w. King
and A. J. Wedderburn, the latter OF
Alexandria, who, as candidates f0r
Attorney General and Lieutenant :
Governor, respectively, paid their
fees to enter the primary Of 1912,
but later withdrew their candidacy.
A special act of the Legislature was
sequired for their reimbursement.

come effective for the state of Vir-
ginia to-day at IL noon, decision
being reached at called meeting

cred by many physicians who at
tended the meeting of the munich
pal health officers during the week

which FIRST of all should be safe
guarded by quarantine regulations,

were strongly advised by the
health officers and passed definitely
by the State Board of Health at it's
called meeting, Norfolk being
port of entry for coast steamers
