been very much disputed during the
past few years, but William Denham

which the local and out-of-town riders
were competing. while he stood of the
reputation of visiting machine and
crack rider in the two events held on

ment. The bill levies a tax OF per
cent on all profits above an per

Happenings of the Day in
Various Parts of the
Nations Capital.

A soldier in the uniform of the
Omitted States Army was disarmed to
day as he stood on guard at the Sher.
man statute, south of the Treasury.
Ths sword he held at salute was
~rested from his hand. The soldier
made no resistance.
This is all plain statement of fact,
but the soldier was one OF the four
bronzed figures at the corners of the
Sherman monument. His sword was
wrested from him, not by an impfous
hand, but by one of Colonel Hart ;
assistants. who took II TO the repair
shop for some necessary tinkering.
But just the same, the soldier rg-
ure presented a forlorn appearance as
he stood with arms extended berett OF
his sword and gazing sort of useless
ly toward the Treasury.
