CoLORED WOMAN FINED
Refused to Answer Officers Questions
and Used .Unseemly Language

One of the most difficult matters
with which policemen contend is the
difficulty of obtaining information
from negroes. Many of them who
witness affrays pretend they know
nothing when attempts are made to
induce them to testify, and some OF
the more insolent occasionally treat
officers with gross contempt when
queries are propoundet.
Officer Campbell was sent to a
certain neighborhood yesterday where
row was said to be in progress.
The participants and most of the
spectators had scampered before the
officers arrival, and colored woman
who was still near the scene was
asked by him concerning the disorder.
"Don't ask me-" she replied in a con-
temptuous air, and started to walk
away. As she moved on she uttered
some unseemly language and the Of
ficer took her in charge for disof-
derly conduct. She was fined 50. so
in the Police Court this morning.
This incident is mentioned for
purpose and to admonish all such per-
sons that it is incumbent upon them
to treat officers with respect Negroes
are liberal patrons of the Police
Court, and it is their duty as well as
of white people to act in concert with
the authorities when their services
are needed.

ASKS MORE MEN FOR NAVY
Secretary Daniels Wants 74,7O0 With
President Empowered to Make
1t $1,000

Washington, June 21-Because of
the urgent demand for every naval
vessel now fit to go to sea, Secretary
of the Navy Daniels yesterday asked
Congress to increase the number OF
enlisted men in the navy from $4,000
to 74,7OO and to give the President
authority, in an emergency, to tur-
ther increased the number to $1,000.
At the same time plan was con-
sidered and will be given out on
Thursday to increase the number Of
naval officers of the higher grades
by a series of quick promotions.
Moreover, the department has under
consideration a plan to call into SER
vice number of retired naval Off
GERS to relieve active officers now on
shore duty or detailed to various sta
tions. =
These moves are made to meet the
crisis forced by the ominous Mexican
situation. 1t has been found neces-
sary to dispatch every available ma
val vessel to the east or west coast
of Mexico, and to Haiti and Santo
DOMINGO. These are the ships of
the smaller type and which are not
regarded as units. of the high seas
fleets of the American Navy.

LEAVING MEXICO
Americans Move From Capital orty
in Special Trains

Mexico City, June 21-Many Am
ericans left Mexico City yesterday
morning in special cars for vera
Cruz. Calls have been sent to Qua
dalaiara, Guanajuato, Puebla and
other cities requesting Americans to
come to the capital for the purpose
of taking trains for Vera Cruz or
to reach other coast ports directly
if that be possible.
The Mexican Foreign Office yester-
day again gave assurance that no OBJ
stacles would be put in the way OF
Americans desiring to leave the coun-
try. Americans have been treated
with courtesy by the officials having

who desire to leave.
James Linn Rodgers, the repre-

arnment before the de facto Govern

Americans yesterday and outlined
arrangements for obtaining sufficient
cars to accommodate them.
The Pachuca mining companies have
offered special train of II box cars
and caboose, and a great majority
of the American colony here left for
Vera Cruz today.
The city is absolutely quiet and
there have been no hostile demon
strations of any kind against Am

The officials OF the company arr

Suggestion Made That Beer
Can be Separated by
New Process
MAY SAVE BIG PLANTS
Brewers of State Seek Legal Opinion
as to Manufacture Of Soft Drinks
With Alcohol

| Richmond, June 2l-Stlmulated ny
the hope that Los Angeles process
for separating ordinary lager beer
into two products that would be mar
ketable in this State after prohhi-
tion goes into effect, may save from
destruction the valuable brewery pro-
pcrtics in Virginia. counsel for blew-
cry interests have applied to Attorney
General Pollard for ruling on the
legality of carrying on an expurgar-
ed brewing business OF this character
after November !.
To the pressing requests for ad-
:ice on this point Mr.. Pollard has re-
Piled that he car express 10 opinion
unless requested to do so by the gov
crnmental department affected. Only
the Governor and the Commissioner
of Prohibition have the right to coll
on the Acknowledgement for opinions
as to the effect of any section of the
prohibition law, and neither of these
have applied fer advice. Prohibitio1
Commissioner Peters will not taHe
Office until September !, and has,
therefore for the present, no official
standing, although a request for d
ruling from Mr.. Peters probably
would receive a prompt answer from
the acknowledgements office.
Even should proper State officer
request a ruling on the legality of the
denaturcd brewing business, said Mr..
Pollard, he would have to make Co.
tailed study of the processes involved
lcfo.e he could render an opinio.i.
These who applied to him for advice
cp this, subject have ventured no. de-
tails as to the plans for decomposing
ordinary beer into two legally market
able products, except to say that the
products would be species of soft
drink and commercial alcohol.
Aside from the question Of its
legality, the plan suggests interesting
possibilities. If it is held to be legal
to manufacture beer for the purpose
cf decomposition into soft drink con-
tanning no alcohol at all. and pure
commercial alcohol. millions Of dollars
invested in expensive brewery plants
in Richmond, Norfolk. Alexandria,
Roanoke and other points in the State
now doomed under the prohibition law
may be spared annimilation and even
made more profitable than ever.
The Mapp prohibition bill express.
ly prohibits the manufacture or sale
of beer or malt liquors. 1t, is APP
parent, therefore, that brewery pros
duct reducible from orthodox beer viii
have to he peculiarly innocent to come
within the law. The inhibition 4sainst
matt liquors was expressly aimed at
the near-beer industry. 1t is claimed
for the Los Angeles process. however,
that it extracts from ordinary beer
every ingredient which is outlawed by
jhe prohibition bill, leaving the taste,
the color and the smell-everytning
but the jag.
While the prohibition law interdicts
the manufacture of malt liquors it;
negatively legalizes the manufacture
aud sale of any drini; that does no.
contain alcohol in excess of one halt
of / per cent by volume.

Business Men of Alexandria Offer
Pecuniary Aid in Meeting Expen-
ses Of Recruits

Three sergeants and Lieutenant
Mclean of the Alexandria Light In
fantry left this morning for nearby
points i'm, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loud
oun and Prince William counties for
the purpose of recruiting for their
company which is stationed at the
armory in this city ready to move
on orders from the, state headquart-
ers in Richmond.
Recuiting continued briskly yes
terday and this morning. and by
tonight it is expected that the COM
pany will reach the 100 mark. Last
night more than so men slept in the
armory and there are some 20 men
who have enlisted on the provision
that they will poin the company as
soon as it receives orders to move.
A committee of business men met
with the officers of the company last
night and assured them of their sup
port. Financial aid was given IN
meeting the expenses of recruiting
and promises were made that the posi-
tions of men who joined the company
would be kept open for them when
they returned.
Retention in Richmond of the State
mobilization camp, where every unit
of the Virginia Volunteers will be
concentrated for training IN prepara-
ton for an emergency call for duty
along the Mexican border, will de-
pend entirely upon a conference to-
day between military officials and
Henry P. Beck, of the Administra-
. tive Board, who has been delegated
authority by that body to handle all
matters, pertaining to the proposed
camp at the Fair Grounds.
Following the receipt of tele-
gram yesterday afternoon from Col
onel Lane Stern, who is at oan-
oke announcing that the Magic City
offers for mobilization the same site
used for officers training camp, and
that the people and the, Chamber of
Commerce of that city are anxious
TO receive the soldier boys, Major Al
len Potts, camp quartermaster, and
Colonel j. Fred Lynch, surgeon gen
eral *of the esVirginia Volunteers, made
hurried inspection of the work al
ready accomplished at the Fair
Grounds and expressed the opinion
that preparations were progressing
slowly.
;Action in the matter by the Adju-
kant- General will be guided largely
by the report of the two officers.
They were unanimous in the opinion
> that representatives of the military
service should arrange for confer
ence with Mr.: Beck, today and make
it splain that the board must get to
work quickly in completing arrange
ments for the camp. or another site
would be selected.
Railroads have voluntarily come,
forward with generous offers to the
military authorities to place. at their
disposal as many special trains as
necessary for handling the men. Cen
eral Sale anticipates no transporta-
ton troubles at any point in the
State.
