FULLS TO DflU
FROM FIRE ESCAPE
Patrick Buckley, "Boy Guide," of
Alexandria, Takes Pifty.
foot Plunge.
NEWS NOTES OF ALEXANDRIA
Alexandria, Va., .Nov. 17. The body of
Patrick Buckley, twenty years old, the
"boy city guide," was found at 6 BO
dock this morning lying on the brick
pavement beside the fire escape in the
rear of the old Braddock House, from
.,iw lib .i .,.,,.,, ,tcajr live IIUUID UC
fore. The grewsome discovery was made
by waiter Ale, who has rooms in that
place.
Buckley was lying on h(s back and his
face was covered with blood, which had
run from his nose and ears as a result
of the fall. An examination disclosed
that his skull was crushed at the base of
the brain on the left side. Buckley fell
a distance of fully fifty feet, and death
must have been Instantaneous.
It was at first thought that Buckley
had been the ilctlm of foul plaj and
probably had been pushed from the fire
escape by some one. Chief Goods, to
gether with other members pf tlje police
force and Commonwealth's Attorney S
G Brent and Coroner 6. B Moore. made
an Investigation of the case. CoronerT
Moore decided that Buckley met accl
dental death and gave a certificate ac
cordingly, deeming an Inquest unneces
sary. The arrangements for the funeral
hae not et been completed
From what the police could learn of
the affair Buckley had been drinking
last nigut and during the early part of
the night had with him several compan
ions It was after I o clock when he
left a Greek lunch room on King Street
supposedly for the purpose of going to
his home Instead, however, he made
his way to the old Braddock House and
ertering the hall proceeded up the steps
The noise made by Buckley at that hour
aroused some of the occupants, among
them W W. Simpson, lessee of the
clt.ee. who cried out to Buckley to stop
the noise. However, Simpson was un-
av.are who It was. thinking that pos
sibly It was some of the roomers In the
Piece who-, were late In turning In. The
noise ceased and no further attention
vas given the matter until the ttndinp
of the body this morning
An Investigation made disclosed that
Buckle), after entering the place, had
gone dlrectl) to the fourth floor of the
building to the extreme east end Here
he discarded hat and overcoat and left
them Ijlng on the floor near a window.
Raising the wlndon he went to the fire
escape, a winding iron affair fully pro
tected by a sufficient number of guard
rails.
llnckley Forbidden the House.
Why Buckle should have made for the
fire escape at that time Is mjstlfying
However, it is recalled b occupants of
the place that Simpson had forbidden
Buckley to enter the place recently, on
account of his attention to his daughter
The presumption Is that when he heard
Simpson's voice cry out to stop the noise
that he, in all probability, believed that
he was being followed, and, featfatg detec
tion, had made for the tire escape as a
place of refuge.
Buckley was unmarried, and a son of
Patrick Buckley, of this city.
The place where Buckley met his tragic
end is a place where Tor many cars
past, he had guided thousands of tourists
from all parts of the country. A few feet
ana) from it Is the historic old Carlisle
House, with whose history the decease
at eo familiar that In each instance his
accurate de&crlptlons of these places, to
gether with their hlstorj, had endeared
him to the tourists who had the good
fortune to obtain his services as a guide

DENIES THAT SECRET

Declares Common Sense Should Con
vince Doubters that Dissolu

New York, Nov. 17 The suggestion that
the government proceedings for dissolu
tion of the Tobacco Trust hae not de
stroel the monopoly Is ridiculed by the
American Tobacco Company. In five
thousand word "frank statement cf con
ditions," Issued today. Torch al hi. Hill,
president of the compan), dlacusses the
results of the decree of tJie Circuit Court
of the United States for the Southern
District of New York, providing for the
dlslntregatlon of the trust. 0
"Is It possible that sane men managing
these various companies." he asks, aftr
pointing out the larger number of sales
men. Jobbers and others in the tobacco
trade, "would contemplate collusive and
feigned competition in the face of such
an army of witnesses, and In. tho teeth
of Injunctive provisions of a decree, dis
obedience to which would lead to a con
dign punishment What will be the effect
of the competition no man can tell, but
that the competition will continue to b
real and true
He declared that the common stock of
the compan) hal sold ' always under the

of there securities were sold out from

for dissolution and It la well known that

market value is ver) high These things
explain tho difference In market value"
In the uggregate of what has come to ihe
common stockholders of the Americas
Tobacco Compan), as compared with the
market value of their stock before the
disintegration '
Buvers on the exchanges realize that
there Is competition between the compa
nies formerly composing the trust, as
serts Mr Hill, and that competition may
mean reduction of the percentage of
profits, but Increased volume of business
that will prevent the actual amount of
profits of a competitor being diminished
Here are some further Interesting state
ments by Mr. Hill regarding the dissolu
tion of the trust.
ltrsrardlnir Dlstrlbntlon.
"The American Tobacco Company was
required to distribute among Its stock
holders securities that had produced an
annual Income of more than J9 0OO.O0O.
and that therefore had a total value of
substantially S10O.000 0CO Had the Amerl

American Tobacco Company nev er did de

its ablllt) to please the public The his

At Wllhelmshaven the German Emperor
unveUed the statue of Admiral Collgny,
the famous Huguenot "leader, which ho
bad presented to the town. The Kaiser
claims descent from Collgny, and the
great French leader "has always been
one of his heroes In history; In making
his speech the Kaiser had with him the
Minister of Marine and most of. the
chiefs of the German navy. He related
the story of Collgny, who at the siege
of St- Quentin. on being asked to sur
render, threw back the spear to which
ma summons ot surrenaer naa ocen f
tached, with the words "Regem habe-
mus" (we have a King). St. Quentin was
thereupon stormed, but Collgny beat
back the besiegers. This incident waa
used by the Kaiser as a kind of a text
for his sermon.
"Two things were here taught." said
the Emperor. "Collgny waa a true
soldier-hero, faithful to the oath of his
King But he was more he waa a hero
of faith, and as a leader of.the Hugue
nots he remained until his last breath
true to his Heavenly King. .On the aw
ful night- of St. Bartholomew he died a
martyr to his faith "
The Kaiser called that night a "stain
on Christianity," and went on to speak
of his other ancestor. Collgnys son-in-law.
Prince William of Orange, who also

diers .aught tobe Then came the most
remarkable part of the Kaiser's address
Every year he said he came to Wll

fidelity to their King can only rent on
the foundation of faith and In the Joy
ful enthusiasm caused by the belief In

We soldiers, we comrades of the ma

only half as strong as the allies, but the
commander took advantage of their
drunkenness to make a sudden night at

beating of Turkish drums. The Otto

Of this it is possible to feel quite

Island, and educated at Athens Unl-
vtraity, M Venlzelos completed his
studies at Lausanne. Switzerland Re-
turning to his own country after a
thorough course of education, he soon
became intimately associated with the
chiefs of all the political parties.
among whom he soon attained a post-
tlon of commanding Influence.
He became especially Intimate with Dr i
Sphaklanakl. , who was also one of the
most trusted and esteemed of Cretan poll-
tlclans and who said- "JL Venlzelos will
setUe the Cretan question, but he will
settle It In his own way. By kindness and
concession. If he can, by force and Arm
ness If he must.'
That has been his atUtude since he be- -
came an influence In 1893. at the time the .
King's second son. Prince George, went J
as high commissioner to Crete and tho
regeneration of that distressful island
commenced. It was when Dr. Spbakal -

leader under the prince's administration 1
that U. Venlzelos was offered and ac-
cepted the post of one of the council of
high commissioners. '
He continued to serve the island with
loyalty and ability unUl August, 1909, when

COAL SHORTAGE

As Soon as Lake Season Is

Will Cease. t
Shamokln, Pa.. Nov 17. Although tby
admit that there is no coal reserve in
th's district, coal men here said to-day
that the situation will be greatly relieved
within the next two w eeks. and that with
the close of navigation on the Grtj
Lakes on December 1. all fear of an I
anthracite coal shortage along the At-1
lantlc seaboard will have vanished '
There has been a record production of
coal In this section within th last six
weeks, but despite this act there is less
coal available for the New York market

"This demand wiU cease as soon as th

It is estimated that there are sixteen
thousand tons of coal In the storage, here
awaiting shipment. About 6 per cent of
this tonnage is to go to Buffalo and other
points In the West, the remainder to taa
Atlantic seaboard.
There is practically no change in the
local situation. The big dealers are firm
in the statement that they will not ral
the price of coal and urge the consumers
to take their advice and buy coal in small
lots until the shortake is relieved.
