 He never finished the sentence. for John Hannon flashed hand, light ning-swift, at his hip and shot him where he stood--a fine, clever bit of marksmanship that broke the right arm above the elbow and left Dyke Attison maimed for life.
 Shoot me full of holes!" raved the latter Sieve me if you want to! But I'm still curious!" which proved him a man of srong mettle indeed, facing John Hannons guns.

 And he showed the gun into its holster, turned on his heel and strode away without a backward look.

Sprinting to Fire,
Knocks OuerLa amp
Post; in Hospital

Eagerness to be first on the spot at
supposed fire in Anacostia about
S:45 o'clock last night nearly cost
Frank Stewart. a young colored man,
his life. for in his mad dash after
apparatus responding to false
alarm he overlooked a perfectly
constructed electric lamp post at
Nichols avenue and Morris road and
in consequence had to be rushed to
Casualty Hospital in a passing auto
mobile.
Stewart lives on Stanton road and
was enjoying the sweet spring
zephyrs in front of his home when
the fire engines passed. Nothing
pleases him more than watching fire
men work.. and so bent was he on
having his pleasure gratified that he
reckoned not with certain obstruc-
tions placed at designated points by
the public utility corporations. After
treatment at the hospital he regained
consciousness and was reported out
of danger.
The lamp. by the way, was shat
tered.

Mounted and DismOunted Tactics.
One war strength cavalry platoon
will give an exhibition of combined
mounted and dismounted tactics. This
Will be illustrated by an attack
against a machine-gun emplacement.
1t will be assumed that Il battery of
artillery, belonging TO the cavalry
division. has brought the machine
guns under fire and, TO a certain ex
tent, wrecked the obstacles which the
enemy may have constructed in front
of their trench. Under the fire Of this
artillery, a cavalry squad. armed with
rifles and automatic rifles, advances
upon the enemy diSmounted. The oh
is the gaining of fire superiority over
the enemy; that is, preventing the
enemy machine gunnerS from expos
ing themselves and, if possible, pre-
venting them firing their machine
guns.
The artillery ceases to fire when the
dismounted cavalrymen have ap-
preached to within 100 yards of the
enemy, and at this time the second
phase of the attack is about to take
place. This phase consists of a flank
attack from the right and left by the
remainder of the cavalry platoon
mounted-protected by the fire of their
diSmounted comrades. The mounted
men will charge the enemy emplace-
ment and deliver a mounted pistol at
tack
Method in British Campaign.
The use of the horse to carry an at
tacking force rapidly across rifie-Swept
ground was very largely used in the
British campaign in Mesopotamia, and
where the enemy'S machine-gun em-
placement is not fully protected by an
impa ssible obstacle. such as barbed
wire or deep ravine, it is quite pos
sible to use the mounted soldier as
above described.
Upon the conclusion of the attack
problem Troop Z, Sd Cavalry, will give
an exhibition in jumping, including
the celebrated tire-jump-which so
many have seen at Fort Myer during
the past winter.

ent of Buildings and Grounds
for Commissioner.

Appointment of. Lieut. Col. c. O.

buildings and grounds. as the next
Engineer Commissioner for the Dis
trict of Columbia, was urged in a
resolution adopted last night by the
Mid-City Citizens Association at a
meeting held at the Thomson School.
18th and l. streets northwest.
The association expressed itself as
considering Lieut.. COL Sheriff. as
"eminently qualified" to fill the va
rancy caused by the resignation of
Col. Charles Keller. The resolution
declared he is a man of rare eXecu-
tive ability. with an intimate knowl-
edge of the affairs OF the city and
the needs of its citizens.
NJ. T.. Dent, in proposing the reSo-
luton, stressed the fact that Lieut..
Col. Sheriff. is a. resident and prop
erty owner in the District. and has.
therefore, many interests in common
with the citizens.
Copies of the resolution will be
\ forwarded to the President of the
\United States. the Secretary of War
and the chief of engineers, United
States Army.
Petition for New ZOninE Policy.
The District coming commission will
be petitioned by the association to
inaugurate some policy other than
requiring Il mere application in order
TO have a public hearing for single
zoning changes in residential Sec
1ions. 1t was pointed out that a
large number of applications for the
establishment of business enterprises
in residential sections were being
given public hearings and We're usu-
ally refused by the commission. This

tion process of some sort, rather than
the giving of such a large number of
public hearings on mere applications,
the outcome of which, under the pol
1cy of the zoning commission, will
more than likely result in decision
Against the applicant.
Plea for ID. C. Franchise.
Michael NJ Doyle, former judge of
the Municipal Court, and secretary OF
the board of children's guardians, ad-
dressed the association and urged a
franchise for the citizens of the Dis
trict. Mr.. Doyle declared that the
method of handling the approprla- :
Tions for the District with the period
OF secrecy" attached to the pro-
cedure from the time the estimates
left the Commissioners to go to the
Treasury to await the opening of
Congress, was in itself a reason suf-
ficient for the right of franchise.
'1f there are any local problems
in regard to the Acknowledgement of
the District they should not have to
interfere with the right of the
citizens to vote in presidential cleo
tions and have proper and adequate
representation in Congress" declared
Mr.. Doyle.

ices of Conrad H. Syme, former cor
