GAZETTE'S NEW DEPARTURE

Yesterdays columns of the Ga
zette contained numerous items OF
the latest, up-to-the-minute tele-
graphic news of the world, fur
nished by the admirable service OF
the United Press. This service
will constitute a regular daily Tea
ture Of the Gazette hereafter, and
will give this paper a superiority
over all other papers circulated IN
Alexandria, not only because OF
its earlier arrival at the homes and
offices of its subscribers, but also
because of the fact that its local
news columns are far more replete
with the news of Alexandria and
its suburbs than is possible in any
paper not published in this city,
Alexandria may now boast Il
daily Newspaper Of metropolitan
excellency in every department
and the Gazette commends It's ccl-
umns with pardonable pride to the
good people of this city and their
neighbors in the nearby towns.

Thursday afternoon was unpleas-
ant for Abraham Schnee of the firm
of Schnee and Schnee real estate oper-
ators. While Mr.. Schnee was attend
ing a meeting in the court house in
Golden Hill street some of his friends
planned a surprise for him.
At the instigation of Attorney Sam
uel B. Plotkin, Officers Doolan and
WEIGH members of the prohibition
squad placed a bottle of whiskey in
Mr.. Sciences automobile. When the
meeting had adjourned, Schnee re-
turned to his car, and was placed
under arrest by these two officers.
He was taken to the office OF
United States Commissioner Hugh j.
Lavery in a troubled state of mind.
With several of his friends as wit
nesses, he declared that before he
entered the court house there was no
liquor in his car. and that during his
stay some one must have placed it
there.
After a few good laughs he decided
that all the parties involved must
be his guests at a dinner in the STRAIT
field, and the entire party including
the United States Commissioner went
to the hotel.

Judge Wolfe Gives
Plaintiff Verdicl

In the case of Olga F'i1ianovich
versus John Pavlows1i and others
tried this morning, Judge Isaac Wolfe
today rendered a decision for the
plaintiff awarded damages to the ex-
tent of 500. In his finding he said:
1T is difficult to determine the
exact facts in this case but I am salts
fed that each party assaulted the
other. However, while this is so I
am of the opinion that the defendant
used more force than was absolutely
necessary to repel the assault made
upon him. For this reason he should
pay the plaintiff some damages
which I assess at $500"
In the suit Olga Fflianovich ac-
eused the defendant of hitting her
WIN baseball bat, inf1icting injuries
which will be permanent.

Bianchi Placed
on Year Probation

Antonio Bianchi of 1116 Park ave-
nue., was arraigned in City court this
500 watch which he is alleged 10
have pawned for SIG. There were
numerous complaints about Bianichi
by various residents of the city who
claimed that he had represented
himself a watch repa:rer, and
would take the watch to his home
for that purpose Instead, he is al
legged TO have pawned them.
1t was thought best by the court,
however, that Bianchi should be
placed on probation and given a
chance to make restitution rather
than send him to Jail. He was fined
S25 and costs and given a suspended
jail sentence of 80 days and placed
on probation for one wear.

Claim Denied
Against Local
Oyster Company

Lucy P. West, who brought suit
against the H. J. Lewis Oyster COM
pany, both of this city, because of a
decision rendered by Judge Isaac
Wolfe today is denied her claim that
she is entitled to a right of way to
her property. Mrs. West stated that
the defendant placed a house on this
right of way, which was hers.
She contended that the right of way
had been given her father by the
predecessor of the present company.
This predecessor was H. J. Lewis.
Her father, Pehr J. West, gave the
right of way to her. and the oyster
company has now built house on it.
In the finding Judge Wolfe says
that Mr.. Lewis himself moved an Of
flee building on the property involved,
and that the route over which she was
allowed to pass was only one which
is the result of several changes routes,
and that the present title route has
been in vogue at least since 1898,
when H. J. Lewis built a fence to
stop oyster shells from sliding down
into the road. This fence also OBJ
structed the right of way. By reason
of the evidence presented Judge
Wolfe granted a decision in the de-
PENDANTS favor.

Repu bZicnns Fall fter Fierce Attack On Regulars
Rebellion Seems
Doomed; Les
Than 200 Killed

The Republican rebellion
against the Irish Free state APP
peared to be doomed TO failure
today. With the exception of
Eamom De Valera all the most
important, of the Republican
cf1ieftains have been captured
and are in jail. The Free State
troops have extended their ac-
tiVities against the irregu1ars to
all parts of the country and it
is estimated that nearly 1900
have been arrested. After a
period of comparative quiet,
fighting broke out in Dublin
again today when an irregular
stronghold in CapeI street and
so prisoners were captured by
the Free StaterS. Officials of the
Irish Provisional government at
Dublin were apparently satisfied
with the situation, believing that
they now have it in hand. The
casualties in the fighting We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday
have not been officially tabulated
but it is believed that fewer than
200 men were killed and wound
ed in Dublin.

been raided by Mexican bandits under
a General Larraga and the property

Fifty Rebels
Break Truce
Morale of Republican
Army Weakened by
Capture of O'Connor
and Me1lowes Two of
the Strongest Fighting
Leaders of the Insur-
gents.

Dublin. July 1-(By the A.
P.) - The provisional Free
State government turned today
to the task of clearing out the
remaining nests of insurgents,
following the fall of the Four
Courts, their chief stronghold.
About IL o'clock sharp firing
broke out in Talbot street,
where an arfnored car carry
ing national army troops was
attacked.
Morale Broken.
The surrender this morning of
more than fifty rebels who had been
holding out in the Capel street area
was hailed as evidence that the NOR
ale of the Republicans had been
weakened by the yielding of Rory
O'Connor and Liam Mellowes, two of
their strongest fighting leaders.
The menace still confronting not
only Dublin but the nation was recug-
nized, however, and the Dali minister
of defense in a proclamation to the
troops of the national army declared ::
Eve put our hand to this fight IN
defense of the peoples will and with
your aid we will see it to a. success
full ISSUE
AS far as Dublin is concerned the
plan of acton against the irregulars
who have established themselves in
hotels and other premises, probably
will assume the form of an encircling
movement with intense fields of ac-
ton in certain areas. Thus the move
ment will be conducted in a manner
similar to the concentration on the
Four Courts when the troops ignored
the outposts whose Intentions were
to divert them to guerilla warfare.
Guests Ordered Out.
The next area to receive attention
probably will be the SackVille Street
district, several blocks east of the
Four Courts, where the Republicans
last night took over Il block of build
Gresham. Granville and Hamman's
hotels. The guests of the hotels We're
summarily ordered to leave and were
turned out into the deserted sire 1T
other buildings on the same block
were occupied.
1t is reported on good authority
that canon DeValera, is in personal
charge of the Sackville area for the
Republicans, who are reported to be
making elaborate preparations to re-
pulse any attack, even breaking
the side walls in order to connect all
the buildings. This morning the win
dows bristled with rifles and revolv-
erS.
There was a sharp outburst of firing
this morning in the vicinity of ST.
Stephens Green, on the south side.
where the irregulars were reported to
have seized the United Service Club
To Shoot Looters.
Looters in Dublin will be shot on
sight by order of the government
it was announced today,
The commander of the national army
issued the following warning:
owing to the looting of private
and public property which has taken
place in the city IN the past few days
the troops have definite orders Ito
shoot hooters on sight"
The ruins of the Four Courts still
were blazing furiously this morning,
Nothing remains of the magnificent
dome which was a distinguishing
feature of the building.
