FIND DEAD BABY IN MARSH.
Finely Dressed Infant May Have
Been Tossed From Automobile.

Wilmington, Del, Nov: 11.-At-
tired in white clothing of the finest
and most expensive texture the body
of a months old girl was found on
the mud flats in the marshes along
the causeway mile from the Min
quadale Kome, Thursday morning by
negress, who notified Manlove Mac
Farland, milkman, who in turn no
titled the police and Deputy Coroner
Nichols, who removed the little corpse
to the Morgue.
The condition of the body and Of
the clothing indicated that the baby
had not been in the water very long.
There was no mark of any kind on
the garments that would furnish a
clew to the identity of the child's
parents. The police believe the baby
was taken to the scene in an automo-
bile and thrown into the marches,
for the roadway skirts the edge Of
the marshes at the point where it was
found.

LUNGS SAVED BY SILENCE
Novel Treatment of tuberculosis
Shares Success With Rest.

Baltimore, Nov. 11.-Medical men
Of Baltimore, are declaring the sue
cess of two novel methods Of treat
ing tuberculosis that have now had a
thorough testing out by Baltimore
patients for more than year.
In the one case, a prominent Bal
timore manufacturer, head of big
firm, kept silent for one year to give
tissues in his vocal organs chance
to strengthen and thus resist the
spread Of the tubercular infection.
The other treatment has been tried
by a number of patients, involves the
closing off of one lung to give the
other infected lung a chance to re-
cover. This treatment, of course,
means complete rest of every kind
for the patients.
Both these lung cases were handled
at Sudowood tuberculosis Sanitar-
ium, on the outskirts of Baltimore.

VISITORS FROM CoUNTYI7HR0W Up THE SPONGE
Hitchcock and Perkins Urge That De-
feat be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS No
Ground for Contest.

New York. Nov:s 1.-THE Hughes
campaign managers have abandoned
their plans to contest the election OF
President Wilson. They announced
that no steps would be. taken to Sc
cure q recount in close states unless
the official canvass of the3vote dis
closed glaring frauds.
"We have no evidence of any such
frauds" added Chairman Wilcox in
making this announcement.
The returns from California, where
President Wilson's lead was un-
broken; from New Mexico, which
showed that State definitely Demo-
cratic. and New Hampshire, whose
electoral votes appeared certain to
20 for President Wilson, discourag-
ed hope that it might yet be found
that Mr.. Hughes was elected, though
he still held a slight lead in Mime
sofa.
Frank H. Hitchcock and George
w. Perkins urge that the defeat be
accepted gracefully and the usual
congratulatory messages be sent.
Chairman Wilcox vetoed this sug-
gestion and let it be known that Mr..
Hughes sis in the hands" of his
campaign managers.
Chairman Wilcox was the only
Republican of prominence at national
headquarters who refused to concede
the election Of President Wilson.

BERLIN PROMISES INQUIRY
Doubts Tale OF the Marina's Tn
warned Sinking. However

Washington; Nov. 11--Germany
has informed the American Embassy
in Berlin that the sinking of the
British steamer Marina on October
%, with the loss of the lives OF six
American horse tenders, will be
thoroughly investigated as soon as
submarines operating on that date
have reported, according to conf
DENTAL advices received today from
Berlin. s,
Z. The information given the Embas-
sy, it was said here, was to the eff
fectlthat Germany did not believe
the facts would be developed similar
to the published reports that the
Marina was torpedoed without warn
ing, officials maintaining that Ger
many has no. irtention Of changing
her methods of submarine warfare.
The German Embassy here has
made no. inquiry of the German Gov
eminent regarding the sinking OF the
liner Arabia because it considers the
communication to the American En-
bassy in the Marina case is sufficient.

ALEXANDRIA an HOSPITAL
Affairs of the. Institution in Good
condition-Board of Lady Mana
gers Elect officers

The regular meeting, of the Board
of lady managers of the Alexandra
CITY Hospital was held Thursday
morning. Mrs. R. N. Ballenger
presided and the reports showed the
hospital to be very busy and the
affairs Of the institution in good con-
dition. Miss Carter, the new super
intendent, who has been in charge
since November 1st, has thus far
proved to be the right person in the
right place.
DR.. VIM. Thornwall Davis, the
well known eye specialist of Wash
ington, has genero1siy agreed to visit
the hospital. ne afternoon each week
and his ssrviecs have been most CRATE
fully accepted by the Board Of man
agers an dthe staff of physicians.
This will be of enormous benefit to
the hospital.
The annual election of officers re-
suited as follows: Mrs. R. N. Bal
lengcr. President; Mrs. L. w. Reid.
Vice President; Miss Mittie Klipstein.
Secretary; Mrs. Frank King, Cor
responding Secretary.
The building OF. the new hospital
is progressing rapidly, thanks to the
woriimen and beautiful weather, and
the outside work is nearing compile
ton. The hospital managers have
applications from patients all around
this section of the state, many pre-
ferring to come here for treatment
rather than go to Washington, but all
cssnnat be accommodated, until they
have more space. 1t is hoped to get
into the new hopsital, therefore, as
soon as possible.

TEST OF CITIZENSHIP
Conditions in City Tranquil and No
Cases for Trial in the Police Court
This Morning.

No infractions of law have been
reported by the police OF this CITY
during the past forty-eight hours.
The Gazette has referred to. the
serene conditions in Alexandria sew
eral times this week, and suggested
that while the members of the police
are doubtless performing well thell
duty in the city proper as we'll as IN
the recently-annexed territory, due
credit must be given the temper OF
the people of old Alexandria who
ever show themselves to be law
abiding.
Some folks are disposed to ques-
ton human laws, but when such are
framed in the proper spirit for the
good of the greatest number, they
are recognized by heaven, and viola
tions of the same are of a more seri-
Gus nature than is supposed by the
thoughtless.
The following verses from the New
Testament should be read closely
by all. 1t tells us civil officers are
sent by God, even the tax collector:
Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers. For there is no
power but Of God; the powers that
be are ordained of God. Whosoever
therefore resisteth the powers, re-
sisteth the ordinance Of God: ami
they that resist shall receive to
themselves damnation. For rules
are not a terror to good works, but
to the evil. Wilt thou then not be
afraid of the power? do that which
is good. and thou shalt have praise
of the same: for he is the minister
of God to thee for good. But if thou
do that which is evil, be afraid: fol
he beareth not the sword in vain:
for he is the minister of God, re-
venger to execute wrath upon him
that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must
needs be subject, not only fer wrath
but also for conscience sake, For,
for, this cause e-.pay- We tl.ibute--also:
for they are Gods ministers, attend
ingcontinually upon this very thing.
Render therefore to all their dues
tribute to whom tribute is due; Gus
tom to whom custom; fear to whom
fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no
man anything.
1t is suggested by some that the
recent revival conducted in this city
by Rev. Gypsy Smith was at pro-
per time in view of the fact that this
as we'll as every other community
in the Old Dominion would be called
upon enc month later to accommo-
date itself to new order of things.
Alexandria was ready for the tran
sition, and the people of our old city
show no disposition to return ts
former conditions.

Del Ray Democrats Parade City
Early Last Night in Fifteen Au-
tomobiles.
tonnobiles.

There has been quiet enthusiasm
in this city since it became positively
known that Woodrow Wilson wa:
elected President OF the United States
last Tuesday. While there has oeer
no disposition to give public expires
sion to their qualification, Alexandra
democrats have been exchanging
congratulations and manifesting theil
patriotism in groups instead of mass
gatherings.
Our democratic friends of
of Alexandria county, however, found
their environments too contracted for
the full display of their exuberance,
and early last night they invaded this
city seated in fifteen automobiles.
They carried box, suggestive OF
a coffin, which bore the legend
~Charles. Evans Hughes" Candles
were burning at each end of the
"Sarcophagus" and it was partially
covered with flowers. The autos were
almost covered witt: flags, and as
the cortege moved through the streets
there were continuous blasts from
horns,
Our county friends naturally drew
4 crowd which followed them through
the streets. The procession moved
north on Washington street and halt
ed in front of the residence of Hon.
c. c. Carlin. Unfortunately our Rep
resentative in Congress was away
from home, and could not respond
to the ''serenade" given him by his
friends from Del Ray.
Democrats of Washington. headed
by Charles R. Darr and Robert N.
Harper have launched a movement
for a Dig torchlight procession Mon
day night in honor Of President Will
sons reelection.
1t is planned to march up Pqnnsyl-
gania avenue to the White House, as
semble in the White House grounds
ard welcome the President back to
Washington for another four Years.
Mr.. Harper says he is satisfied
that at least 10000 people will march
in the procession carrying torches.
Many Alexandrians have signifed
their intention to swell this process
sion, and hundreds from this city and
Alexandria and Fairfax counties will
visit Washington next Monday night,

VIRGINIA ORCHARDS VALUABLE
Ore Sold Recently Brought $500 an

A decade ago the valley Of Vir-
ginia did not produce as much fruit
as was consumed. There were few
fruit trees on every farm but they
were not cared for and were not pro-
itable. In recent years more thought
has been given to fruit growing
especially apples. Special attention
is given to cultivation. fertilization,
pruning, and spraying Of the or
chards. j!
Now not only apples but peaches
and other fruits are being raised
throughout the valley cf Virginia
where are now located some of the
finest orchards in the country, new

risen rapidly in value. :
