to Advantage

Mr.. C. S. Moss. Editor Bogalusa
Enterprise,
Bogalusa, La.
Dear Sir:-At the last meeting OF
the Bogalusa to Sun Good Roads
Committee, we had up for discus
sion the adviSability of trying to
secure the balance left in the old
Fourth of July Celebration Fund,
which understand amounts to
$4,000, to apply against the Good
Roads Fund.
AS this fund was donated by the
business men and citizens for a
public purpose, it has occurred to
me that the persons who donated
the money would be perfectly
willing to let the amount 20 towards
opening up this new road.
Iwould suggest that you take the
matter up in your paper, stating
that the SUGGESTION has been made
that we use this Fourth Of July
Fund for the good road and if there
are no objections, we shall be
pleased to use it fyT ihIS purpose

But out Of all this turmoil-as al

genius. He was a motorman. It hap

He took his car. marked Navy

to switch, and in great glee set of

Yes he was a genius. but It is to
wonder what those who were bound

Street Cars Are Halted.

The street cars going to the bureau
of engraving and printing were out Of
the running for short period during
the severe portion Of the storm, owing
to water in the slots. The truck gar

other outlying sections. suffered little
damage from the storm. Bladensburg
and other easily flooded sections did
not report undue measures of water.
Deanwood and Washington Grove re-
ported trouble with their electric
lights, electricity being supplied these
places from this city. No trouble was
experienced here along this line.
Members of several companies Of the
fire department, anticipating lightning
damage, were on the alert and ready
to move at a moments notice. 1t was
not until the storm was nearly over,
however, that an alarm came in from
box 125 and notified the department
that fremen were needed in the vicinity

Lightning struck flag pole on the
warehouse Of Hecht & Co, 613 street

Hail Belt a Mile Wide.

The hail belt was about a mile wide.

7:o5 to 1886 o'clock, according to obser-
vations made at the weather bureau,
to beat upon the city. the stones being
of varying sizes, according to the mag
ination of the spectator. Many of the
stones looked square in shape to the
observer, resembling small cakes of ice.

the downpour
The storm was purely local in char
acter. No hail fell in Chevy Chase, and
very little rain in Baltimore. or in sur
rounding Maryland counties. Friday Sc
we're hailstorms visited Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties. Last
nights rain was the heaviest within a
month. and Easements in the northeast
section of the city were flooded in some
instances. Very little damage was done
by hailstones, only a few cases of
broken windows being reported.
Sand and gravel, swept on the car
tracks in Anacostia, put the street cars
over there out of commission for a
short time. Anacostia's decorations
again suffered at the hands of the ele-
ments, even as the night before. only
last night the storm put a few finish
ing touches on the downpour of the
previous night. and left Anacostia in
a dampened state, indeed.

Hailstones of three-eighths of an inch

until late hour, 1.66 inches of rainfall
being registered at the weather bureau

is considered an excessive fall.

the storm caught thousands of citizens
downtown when it reached it's maxi

VITAL QUESTION
IS DISCUSSED
National Guardsmen, Are Emit.
tied to Pension, Says Gen.
CroWder.

Washington, July 29.-Mooted cues
tions about the status OF state troops
called into the federal service for the
Mexican emergency are decided in an
exhaustive opinion given Secretary
Baker today by 'Brigadier General
Crowder, Judge advocate general OF
the army. General Crowder holds that
the state soldiers are not subject to
duty outside Of the United States and
until they are formally drafted by or
der of the president; that they a1e
under control of the federal govern
ment and not of their respective state
governors, and that they are entitled
to the same pension and privileges as
regulars.
While congress by joint resolution
has conferred upon the president au-
thority to draft the militia and ma
tional guard, in his discretion, the
general points out that the president
has not exercised that authority. In
the meantime, he says. the status OF
the state troops sis that of militia
called into the service of the Unit
ed States for one of the purposes spe-
Gifted in the constitution, that is, to
protect the United States from inva'
