EXoNFRATED FOR KILLING.
Takoma Park Man Who Shot
Phelps Did So in Self Defense.

Uriah Hector, 80 years old, was eX-
onerated by the coroner's jury al
Nd, last night for the
shooting of George Phelps at his home
IN Sligo Mills road, Takoma Park,
Monday night.
Phelps was shot when he appeared
at the Hector home and demanded adj
mittance. Testimony at the inquest
brought out the fact that Phelps had
been repeatedly warned to stay away
from the house, and the jurors be-
licvcd that the fatal snot was ilrcu
in defense of Heeter's wife and home.
When Phelps appeared at the Heete'
home, the testimony revealed, he i
alleged to have said. "Open the d
door or l will blow the lock off.
Heeter procured his pistol and leav-
ing the house by the front door went
to the rear of the house and told
Phelps to leave the place. Phelps, &C
cording to the evidence, pointed re-
volver in the face of Hcetcr and the
latter fired.
Former Sheriff Fulton Gates, hear
ing the shot al his home, short dis
lance away from the shooting, started
an investigation, when Hccter ap.
pcared and told him that he had sho;
a man and wanted to surrender.
Gates and Heeter returned to the
scene of the shooting and found Phelps
lying at the foot of the back steps, un
conscious and apparently dying.
Phelps was placed in passing auto
mobile and brought 10 Garfield Hos
pital, where he died early ycsterda!
morning.
"For four years my wife and I have
been annoyed by the intrusions o
Phelps" Hecter said last night. HI
knew my wife as child. They playc'
together and a sort of affection exist
ed between them as children.
Gle insisted on visiting my WIZ
during my absence, and l have IRE
quently warned him to keep out o

CONGRESSMAN RALLIES.
Veteran Virginia Representative Re-
ported Little Better"

Washington, April 10.-Represen-
tative William a. Jones, Of Virginia,
who was paralyzcd Sunday night,
rallied yesterday and his condition
last night was pronounced as being
q ''little better" at George Washing
Ton Hospital. NJ Jones has regained
consciousness and, while he is not able
to speak, he recognizes members of
his family. His condition, however. is
still recognized as grave.
Mr.. Jones physician declared that
the stroke was caused by a cerebral
hcmorrhage or bursting of a small
blood vessel in the brain. They said
it would be three or four days before
it was known whether or not the Vir-
ginian has a chance for recovery.
Mr.. Jones' mental condition showed
marked Improvement throughout the
day. This fact gave his family hope
that he may recover.

many herself will rest in no such be-

Hindenburg and Ludendorff will be
busy shaping public opinion at home
FOR the next one. The war will be
ended, not by the allies stopping a
German drive, but by the Germans
failure to stop an allied drive-by the
allies beating the Germans and push
ing them out of France and Belgium
and back within their own boundaries
and keeping them there. The less we
talk about getting peace by stopping
the Germans sixty miles from Paris

DORSEY AGAIN AT LARGE.

Cne of the Schultz Murderers Takes
French Leave From the State Farm.
Eugene Dorsey, one of three Alex
andria negroes who are to pass the
remainder Of their lives in the peni-
tertiary for participation in the muir
der of Walter Schultz, March 6, 1909,
is again at large. Dorsey, it will be
remembered, escaped from the state
farm some time ago, and later came
to this city where he delivered him
self up to the authorities. He was
returned to the penitentiary.
Walter Schultz was an artist of
Chicago. He came to Washington to
witness the inauguration of President
Taft, and two days later visited Alex
andria. Early on the morning of Sun
day. March 7, 1909. his body was founo
in the snow short distance from
Rosemont station, on the electric rail
way, his throat having been cut. His
gold watch was on his person and sew
rral letters Of credit. Henry Smith
was arrested the same day on suspi-
cion of committing the murder, al
though the charge alleged was that
he had stolen a watch. During the
next day he told remarkable story to
the effect that Richard Pines, Calvin
Johnson and Eugene Dorsey were the
real murderers, and that he met the
trio carrying the body west on Cant
eron street early the previous Satur-
day night. Pines, he alleged, forced
him at the point of a pistol toad IN
carrying the body. Pines, Johnson an;
Dorsey were unable to establish alibis.
and the four were tried and sentenced
10 electrocution. Smith suffered the
extreme penalty of the law, but the
Governor committed the sentences of
the other participants. The trio sent
10 the penitentiary asserted their in
nocence from the first.

WAR AGAINST THE WORLD.

In his speech, in Baltimore last Sat.
urday. the President said: "We hav:
ourselves proposed no injustice, no
aggression"
I An exchange in its comments sGs-
gests that Americans arc not trying
to destroy the German empire; we are
trying to defend ourselves and civil
cation and democracy and mankind
from a German attack. We did no:
begin this war; we did not get into il
until Germany had been devastating
the earth for nearly three years.
The President says with absolute
accuracy that the Germans shave
avowed that it was not justice, but
dominion and the unhindered execution
of their own WILL" that was their
purpose.
The President said: "Their purpose
is undoubtedly to make all the Slavi:
peoples. all the free and ambitious ma
lions of the Baltic peninsula. all the
lands that Turkey has dominated AND
,nisruled, subject to their will and am
bition."
Now, the only yoke America would
impose upon Germany the defeat. OF
her program of world-conquest. And
Germany's declaration that she will
submit to no such yoke is declarations
of war against the world; and tae
world is much bigger than Germany,
and will put that yoke of restraint;
upon her neck and bolt it there.
The German statement that "thc
world knows that the gigantic struG-
gle now being fought in the west ia .
consequence of the will of the entertI
for war;" is not only refuted by Prince
Lichnowsky, who was the. German
ambassador in London in July, 1914,
but it is refuted by DR.. Won Jagow.
who was foreign minister at the time,
and who has been put forward in re-
ply to the prince. On all the sub
stan.ial points he admits that Eng
land in good faith tried 10 avert tho
war, but German and Austrian pres
lige demanded it. He even tacitly adj
mits the conspiracy at Potsdam, July

WHAT II WILL COST.

Alexandria has been apportioncd
al amount expected of the city by the
purchase Of the third series Of Liberty
Bonds.
The tin,id practical soul who asks
the question, what will Il cost? should
try 10 answer another. What will It
cost US not to win this war?
One writer has said: at would
cost US the less Of national indie
pendcnce, would give rs German
Governor. General at Washington and
a German army Of occupation, with all
The insane brutality that war has
taught the Germans, quartered upon
US, and garrsons in every city, And
that is cnly the beginning of the
cost
II would cost US an indemnity under
which the American people would
groan for decades.
1t would cost Us our position as the
leader Of civilization in America.
It would cost us the domination Of
Plussian influence in all our internal
affairs. and Prussian authority over
all CIR international relations.
IL would cost US the last trace of
freedom of speech and Of thought; the
last vestige Of civil government.
1t would cost us the opportunity to
work out our national program, and
develop orr national life.
No wonder intelligent loyal Ameri-
cans DO not shrink t-om paying the
price Of victory!
