SALE OF FIREARMS

Race troubles and roting IN
Washington have reproduced the old
cry, aston the sale Of firearms" IN
The capital city. The authorities OF
baltimore have forbidden the sale
Of pistols in that city, and the Alex
andria police have stopped the sale
Of firearms or cartridges to nom
residents Of either race.
As stated above, two young ne
gro men from Washington visited
this city yesterday, and failing to
purchase a<pistol provided them
selves with a liberal supply of cart
ridges which were doubtless intend
ed for use in the capital city. They
are held here on the charge OF be-
ing suspicious characters.
While the race troubles in Wash
ington are still en-, rioting has
greatly diminished during the past
twcntv-fcur hours. The authorities
claim to have the situation in hand.
The military force has been ccnsid-
crably increased from nearby
camps. including these contiguous
20 Alexandria. and army tanks are
being heqA in readiness for immed-
late service. :.
The appearance in Alexandria last
night of numbers Of soldiers car

among peaccably disposed people.

The discharge of pistol caused

however, proved TRANQUIL.
The members of the pclicc force

of suspicious strangers, and precAu-
tions arc being taken to prevent
them obtaining pistols or cartridges
here for use elsewhere.
The authorities of Washington are
imposing the severcst- penalties;

THE MILITARY POLICE

The retrial Of the case of Serg-
cant DeShields, of the military po-
lice force, who was charged with
using insulting language towards
residents of Alexandria and threat
eiling to shoot them early on the
morning Of the 18th instant, brought
: large number CT witnesses and
spectators into the Police Court
room last night. While evidence for
the commonwealth was augmented
considerably, the facts in the case
were substantially as brought out
IS in the frs trial. The sergeant
made no positive denial of the
charges urged against him, but he
said he was excited and could not
remember what he said.
The accused was represented by
Judge Advocate Knowles. Of Camp
Hnmphries, who closely cross-ques-
tiorcd the witnesses for the prose-
cuton.
DcSlhiclds, as was tho result of
The first trial, was fined $50. The.
.IW.ec Advocate noted an appeal to
The Corporation Court. Should the
7S;eher tribunal reverse the Police
Court tie fine will. Of course, be re-
gurrd.
This case has been interesting to
many in Alexandria, and nearly four
hours were consumed in investiga-
ting it. All present acted in an or
DERBY manner. although at times
during the taking of evidence there
were rirplcs of mirth, but they
were Immediately suppressed.
The evidence was elongated, and
after the witnesses on both sides
had been heard the Judge Advocate
Knclwlcs made half an hours APP
peal in behalf Of the sergeant. He
thoumht that. under the circumstan-
ces, the charges against him should
be dismissed. He alleged that il
he had committed any thorghtless
acts or used unconventional lang
uage, they were not the outcome OF
malice.
In this connection it may be well
to state that Alexandrians have no
aversion to- the military police. they
being properly regarded as valuable
auxiliaries to the eighteen police
men who guard the city. It is un-
fortunate that member of this
command should have been made
to face the Police Court, but it
must be conceded THAT cur citizens
have rights which should be respect
ed, and the authorities are convin-,
ced that they acted within their
