OF the incident. On Tuesday, April
II, Charles o. Segroves. a marine
private OF the Fifth regiment, was
arrested in Fredericksburg, charged
with being intoxicated. Se9roves

repeatedly in the face. The in
cident was witnessed by a number
of marines, including an officer,
Lieutenant C. c. Jerome. After the
alleged assault Segroves was locked
up.
With much difficulty Lieutenant
Jerome persuaded the marines who
had seen the incident not to at
tempt to rescue their imprisoned
comrade, promising them legal re-
dress. ~
Upon his return to Quantico he
reported the matter to General, But
Ter, waiting on him in company
with number of marines who had
been eye-witnesses to the affair.
General Butler at once sent a
representative to FredericksburE to
secure the release of Segroves and
to obtain action against the. two
officers accused of the assault.
The Fredericksburg authorities
refused to take action and General
Butler forbade all Marines to visit
the town until some action should
be taken to clear its name from
the charges Of abuse of members
of the Marine Corps.
AT the same time an indignation
meeting was held by the marines
of Quantiio and a fund raised for
legal investigation of the matter.
Col. Richard e. Byrd, Srd, one
Of the most distinguished attorneys
Of Richmond, was engaged to prose
cute the case. He expressed the
greatest indignation in the matter
and action was begun at once
Colonel Byrd has filed a COM
plant in the corporation court Of
Fredericksburg to separate the TWO
men accused from the police force
and promises that action win be
continued until the true facts OF
the rase are established, and proptr

LAW To RETIRE
SOON, LONDON
RUNOR
To Be Succeeded by Baldwin
When He Returns From
Long Sea Trip.
By DAVID M. CHURCH,
international News Service.

LONDON, April 2S.-Premier An
drew Bonar Laws vacation was re
garded today as the forerunner OF
his retirement. He will take a long
sea voyage, being absent about four
or five weeks, on account of i'll
health.
While friends believe the rest and
the sea air will benefit the premier s
throat it is evident that he is
anxious to return to private life. II
is understood that he already has
selected Chancellor of the Elk
chaquer Stanley Baldwin as his
successor.
During the premier's long absence
from London, Chancellor Baldwin
will have an opportunity to demon
strate his ability to carry on the
government in the event Bonar
Law retires.
Chancellor Baldwin is popular in
all quarters as the result of his
recent budget. He gained the favor
of working men by reducing the
price of beer; he obtained the con-
fidence of capitalists by the clever
manner in which he conducted debt
funding negotiations with America;
he made himself solid with the in
dustrialists by cutting down taxes.
The itinerary Of Premiar Bonar
Laws voyage is not disclosed. 1t
was reported he might go to the
United States, but this was dis.
credited in Downing street.

Details of the contemplated trip
call for a continuous flying from

approximately 2,700 miles and
necessitating an endurance Of about
thirty-two hours in the air.

q cross-continent flight before meet
ing with disaster.
The two young aviators are now
at Mitchell Field tuning up their
air boat. and, according to advices
to the air service here, the T.2 will
be in shape by Monday. After that,
the hop-off is dependent only upon
the weather, and both flyers will
keep in close touch with the
Weather Bureau waiting for fore
cast of generally fair weather over
the entire country.
Reversal of Route.
The attempted nonstop, Atlantic
to-Pacific flight of last fall was laid
along exactly the reverse route from
that to be negotiated this time.
Last October Kelley. and MAcready
took off at San Diego, but after by.
ing nearly 1000 miles were forced
down at indianapolis because Of
leaking water jacket,
Reversal of the route has one
great disadvantage. AS the pre-
vailing winds sweeping the country
are easterly, last years flight was
made with the wind. The tremen-
dous load of gasoline necessary to
keep the motor running for the en-
tire flight, however, ladened the ma.
chine to a point where little altitude
could be attained, and in crossing
the Rocky mountains the pilots were
forced to carefully pick passes and
low ranges which could be topped.
In Face Of Wind.
The new flight, therefore, will be
made in the face of the wind, but
the load will be lightened sufficiently
to permit easy passage over the
Rockies.
Kelley and Macready, at Dayton,
Ohio, recently smashed all existing
world records by remaining con-
tinuously in the air for thirty.six
hours, four minutes and thirty-one
seconds. This time, they assert, is
more than sufficient in which to
span the continent. Also, until re-
Gently, their San iego-Indianapoli
flight stood as a record for nonstop

The TT, upon which will depend
the hopes for American supremacy,
carries 725 gallons of gasoline,
divided into three tanks. Larger
capacity oil tanks, reserve water
tanks, an auxiliary radiator and an
oil radiator are other features. A
dual control permits the two pilots
to relieve each other, and because
of the extra load the wing and
fuselage has been specially rein

REPORT ON
SWIMMING POOL

The Committee in charge of rails
ing the $1,000 for the Swimming
Pool wishes to thank the business
men and the people in general fol-
the very liberal response. AS in
dication of the general approval OF
the project is the fact that the re-
sponse was SO cordial that it amount
ed to almost a pleasure to ask for
the subscriptions, and the voluntary
subscriptions in checks of from One
to Twenty Dollars each, reached a
amount asked for.
But obstacles have arisen that will
make it impracticable TO build the
pool this year. The City Council
found it necessary TO withdraw their
agreement TO furnish city water due
to the fact that the cost would be
prohibitive at the present time when
the Council faces the necessity of
running the city government next

of the year before.
The Swimming Pool Committee
finds no fault with the City Fathers
for their action. but voices approval
under the circumstances The i'm
possible is not expected of them.
They favored the Pool individually
but their business judgment was
that the city can not afford the cost
OF supplying water and we accept
their good judgment.
The Swimming Pool project is not
dead because of the obstacles met,
but it can not be properly built while
the water is in the Big Ditch.
All checks are being returned to
the subscribers, but the Committee
plans to renew the subscriptions this
fall and build a real "Swimmin'
hole" above the Big Ditch and have
it ready for the first plunge as soon
as the water is warm enough next
year. The Co:1mittee is confident
it will meet with the same cordial
response and cooperation when sub (
seriptions are renewed this fall.
