ENFORCING vAGRANT ACT
Negro Who Declared he Would Never
Work Sent to Jail for Six Months.

Negro Who Declared he Would Never
Work Sent to Jail for Six Months.
A young and robust negro man was
before the Police Court yesterday
morning charged with vagrancy
Justice Cation told the prisoner there
was no real reason for any person
being idle at present, as men were
wanted everywhere. He gave Diggs
one hour in which to find employment
and the negro left as though he was
about to look for something he didn't
want to find. Later one of the officials
at the Old Dominion Glass works
offered Diggs employment, and took
him to the plant in an automobile.
Upon reaching the works the official
told the darkey to remain in the auto
until he arranged the work he desired
him to perform. AS soon as the OIL
cial entered the plant the negro took
to his heels, and later boasted that
Ihe had no intention of working for
any body. Diggs was rearrested last
night and brought before the bar this
morning, when Justice Cation sentenc-
cd him to serve six months in jail,
subject. of course. to labor on the

A ACOhhENDABLE ACT FIRST Shot In WAR
Fired BY Naval Gunners Under Com
mand of Lieutenant Bruce Ware, a
Former Resident Of Alexandria.

Residents of this city have learned
with pleasure that practically the
first shot fired from a United States
gun in the war with Germany was
discharged by the naval gunners on
the steamer Mongolia, on April 10th
under command of Lieutenant Bruce
Ware, former resident of Alexan-
dria. 1t was fred from a six-inch
gun and sank the German U-boat
which was about to attack the Mon
golia. 1t occurred on the anniver-
sary of the battle of Lexington,
which began the war of the revolu-
tion another interesting fact in con-
nection with it. Lieutenant Ware
resided here for several years with
mis- mother, was a former member Of
the Alexandria Light Infantry and
participated in suppresisng the riot
in Richmond in 1903 melted by the
street car strike in progress at the
time in that city.
Leslie's Weekly contains the fol-
lowing concerning the sinking of the
German U-Boat:
The first victory in actual warfare
between the United States and Ger
many went to the American gun
ners who, with one shot from the
six-inch gun, mounted on the stern
Of the Mongolia. sank a German sub
marine, on April 10Th, the after
noon before the freighter reached
its British port Tic success of this
naval engagement which lasted just
two minutes, IS a credit to the skill
of the American naval gunners and
to Lieutenant Bruce Ware, who
commanded the gun crew. At about
$3.50 the first mate sighted the per-
iscope of the submarine about a mile
ahead on the port bow and immedi-
oSSiy gave thc dldIlIl- uG pGTlS-
scope vanished as the U-boat sub
merged and then it reappeared
alongside the Mongolia where the
target for the torpedo would bel
larger. While the submarine was
still 1000 yards away the order to
fire was given and six-inch shell,
the first and only shot fired, shat
tered the periscope, which vanished
in a geyser of spray. For mo-
ment the sea was stumultuous where
the periscope had been and ther
foam and oil rose to the top and
covered the surface. This first shot
of the war was fired on the anniver-
sary of the Battle of Lexington,
which began the Revolution. The
has been taken by the
navy as good omen.

Socialist Leaders Predict Revolution
in Germany if Present Course is
Continued.
Berlin, May 16-The socialist lead
er, Georg Ledebour, declared in the
reichstag yesterday that it was i'm
possible for Germany to win a war
of subjugation, and expressed the
conviction that revolution must hap
pen in Germany as it had happened
in Russia. "We shall propose con-
stitutional committee" he said, "to
take preparatory steps in the direc-
ton of introducing a republic in Ger
many" Language almost as strong
was used by Philip Scheidemann, So
cial democrat, when he shouted: If
France and Great Britain renounce
annexation and Germany insists
thereon, .we.shall. have a revolution
in the country"
Con Iinuing he said:
9TH supporters of conquest shout
for int rease Of power, increase OF ter
ritory, money and raw material. Ihat
can only be wanted by nationally
organized gang Of robbers. Cihls
statement provoked a storm of indlg-
nation on the right.) The drawing
Of the Kaiser into this agitation has
as a result that abroad the kaiser is
made responsible for pan-German
madness and the outbreak OF war;
and that he is continually being in
suited.
"Peace by agreement would be good
fortune for Europe. Ninety-nlne per
cent of all the peoples look with hope
and longing TO Stockholm. If France
and Great Britain renounce annexa-
tion and Germany insists thereon, we
shall have a revolution in the conn-
try"
There were prolonged shouts OF IN.
dignation at this ana CRIES oA
"shame! Stand down"
The president called Herr Scheide-
man to ORDER, but scheidemann con-
tinued:
"It has not gone so far as that yet;
the enemy does not renounce annexa-
ton. A peace just to all part'eS
should be concluded. am firmly con-
yinced that no peace can be concluded
without an alteration Of frontiers
and that must be arranged by'mutual
understanding. am bitterly opposed

ANCIENT BASILICA BOMBED
Archaeological Museum at Aquileia
Also Damaged.

Huseulti dl HQulleia
Also Damaged.
Rome, May 1G-The Ancient Basil
lea and the Archaeological Museum
at Aquileia, at the head of the Adria
TIC, northwest of Triest, were each
struck by an explosive bomb during
a raid by Austrian airplanes on Sum
day, and suffered damage considered
irreparable.
The first bomb dropped by the raid
ers fell near the famous Lapidary
Gallery in the museum, shattering a
portion of the walls. The neighbor-
ing chapel of St. Antoine was also
damaged. The second bomb passed
through the roof to the right transept
of the Basilica, near the tomb of
Torriani, wrecked the interior arches,
went through the floor and then burst,
blowing off the roof.
A third bomb of incendiary nature
evidently designed to set fire to the
wreckage, failed of its purpose.
This is the third time the Basilica
has; been attacked, this being held
to indicate definite intention to de-
stroy it.
