THE WEATHER TO-~>AY?Shower?. PRICE TWO CENTS?
Will TRY BLUES
BY COURT-MARTIAL
Thirteen Soldi; rs to An?
swer for Failure to
Attend Camp.
TRIAL HAS BEEN
SET FOR AUGUST 21
More Than Fifty Men of First
Infantry Will Be Heard on
Similar Charge?Opposition
of Employers to Military
Duty Is Principal
Cause.
Thirteen members of the Richmond
Light Infantry Blues' Battalion will
be called upon to defend themselves
before a court-martial to answer to
the charge of disobedience of mili?
tary orders. The specific offense Is
that these (soldiers fulled to report at
the armory on the morning ot Sun?
day, July 16. for duly In tne camp at
Basic City, and were without the fur?
loughs which would alonu have ex?
cused them.
The order for the court-martial was
lasued yesterday by Adjutant-General
\Y. \V. Sale. ' The tribunal will assem?
ble at the armory at 10 o'clock in tne
morning of August 21. It la to
be composed of men who will bo
without local Influences. 'Iney are
Lieutenant-Colonel B. \V. Salotnonaky,
of the Fourth Infantry, Major Clinton
L Wright, adjutant-general of the
First Brigade, and Captain I. Branch
Johnson, of the Norfolk Light Artil?
lery Blues. The Judge-advocate, or
prosecuting otiiccr, will be Captain
Jennings C. Wise, of this city, adju?
tant of the battalion of held artillery,
Order? Are General.
No names of offenders are men?
tioned in the order, and the Identity
t-f the men accused has not been di?
vulged. The order merely sets forth
that the court has been called for the
purpose of trying all such cases as
may be brougnt before It, and, of
course, the men who are charged with
the disobedience will be notified to be
present, togetner with such witnesses
uii may be called to substantiate the
truth of the accusation.
Although a surprisingly large num?
ber of the members of the Biues Bat?
talion, when all the circumstances are
considered, were absent without leave.
^,'he total la as nothing wtien compared
* with the men of the First Battalion,
First Infantry, who will be called
uj "!i to answer to the same charge.
Major Price i".a? not forwarded his om
cial report on this .subject, but said
last night that he expected between
fifty and sixty men will be court
martialed for failure to attend the
tamp at Culpeper last week. Search?
ing squads rounded up a good many
delinquents on the night before the
departure for camp, but many others
were not found, and made good their
escape Irom camp duty. Whether they
will be so successful in evading pun?
ishment woulo eeem to be more spec?
ulative.
Means a Crials.
It is recognized by all concerned
that serious results are almost sure
to follow the application of sterner
military rules to the organized miltlia
of Virginia. Never bet?re has such
a strict compliance with the usages
of the National Guard been demanded
or attempted
Perhaps more, important than all,
the trial will again raise, and possi?
bly bring to an acute point, the much
discussed topic of the attitude of the
employers of members of the Virginia
Volunteers toward military duty. It
la recognized that some, at least, of
the men who failed In obedience to
military authority did so out of fear
of losing the positions on which their
dally bread depends.
Some employers put the choice of
occupation or of camp duty squarely
up to the men under them, with the
result that the soldier was in many
cases torn between two contending
alternatives.
It will be remembered that the im?
portunities of employers of militiamen
made Major Bowles's lifo mis?
erable for ten days preceding the de?
parture for camp. They dogged his
footstcpa, presented arguments Innu?
merable, drove him from iSa otllce,
and finally sat up with him most of
the night of July 16. But to no avail.
Only In half a dozen extreme cases
were furloughe granted. To issue a
few permits he has found, therefore,
is to open the bars and to present a
Just cause for complaint to those who
are refused the same favor, or else to
?o deplete the ranks of the battalion
by absence as to make Its attendance
at camp a Joke, or, as was the case
one year ago, to prevent Its partici?
pation altogether.
The hope Is expressed tli: t as a re?
sult of more soldier-like methods thero
will be brought about a better under
standiner between the militia and those
?who employ Its members.
Of course, It Is fully understood thai
some of the men who are to be court
martialed had no such valid excuse,
and merely desired to evade the hard
work, taking a chance of evading
punishment when faii.ng to report for
duty.
The keenest Interest Is shown by
all military men in the developments
of yesterday, which constituted the
60le topic of conversation around the
local armories last night.

HARROWING TALE OF SEA
Crew of Sloop Tbereso Ha* Narrow
Kuril in- From Death.
New York. August 1.?The three
man crew of the forty-foot sloop
Theresa, which left Providence, K. I.,
on June 14 for the coast of Africa,
reached New York to-night on the
Brika from Huelva with a harrowing
talo of hardship aboard their vessel,
which ended with their rescue 120
miles west of St. Michael. The The?
resa was left at the mercy of the
waves.
Captain, Joaquln Rene. Jose Fonscca
and Manuel Andredu set sail from
Providence nearly seven weeks ago to
engage in nshlng off the const of Af
ricu. Three dnys out the little vessel,
said to be over forty years of age, en?
countered a southwest gale. which
started her leaking. From that time
on it was necessary to keep a man at
the pump continuously.
Captain Kent held to his course, but
storm after storm broke over the
sloop, currying away the rudder and
straining the vessel so badly that
ropes had to be passed around her
and tightened to hold her together.
After the Theresa had been buffeted
by wind and water for thirty-three
days, and when all her sails and deck
gear ha 1 been washed away, the
Brika hove in sight. One. of the ship's
boats put out to the Theresa, and with
much difficulty because of the high
seas, rescued the trio.

BILL PUT THROUGH

FARMERS' FttEE
LISi IS PASSED
Unholy Alliance" in Senate De?
feats House Measure by Tic
Vote, Then Accepts One Al?
most Like It?Tariff Pro?
gram Moves One Step
Closer to Taft.
Washington, August 1.?The Demo- 1
cratic tariff program was moved up
closer to President Taft to-day, when
the .Senate, by another remarkable
coalition of Democrats and Kepubll
can Insurgents, passed a farmers' freu
list bill, after voting down the original
House measure by so close a margin
that one more Democratic .Venator
v. ould have changed the result, and
left the entire revision Issue squarely
:.,:ore the President to-night.
Th.4 "unholy alliance," at the com?
bination of the Republican wing und
the Democratic party has been called,
massed In almost unbroken alignment,
swept aside a boat of amendments,
voted down by a. tie vote the original
House measure, according to program
for political purposes, and then carried
by u surprising concentration of
strength a measure differing from the ,
House bill only In comparatively un?
important partic ulars. Now the bill I
goes back to the House, and Demo?
cratic Leader l-'nderwood, of that body,
to-night confidently asserted that it \
would be finally agreed to In conference
between the two nouses and sent to
President Taft_
It is not even certain that the House
will insist on a conference, for many
prominent Democratic representatives,
believing that the. bill has not mate?
rially been changed, are urging that
the House accept the Senate bill with?
out controversy and rush the llrst of
the tariff measures up to tho President
for veto or approval.
Xothln? to Prevent Agreement.
"I think the bill will go to President
Taft." said Leaodr Underwood. i am
not sure It will be sent to conference.;
I certainly see nothing to prevent the
two houaet, from reaching an agree?
ment upon Its final form."
Had Senator Bailey, of Texas, voted
with his Democratic associates, or
bad Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
as tne now Senr.tor-elect from that
State, been on hand and voted with
his party, the free list bill would have
passed the Senate unchanged, and
would have been in the hands of the
President to-night. One vote was all
that stood in the way of placing the
entire Issue of Democratic-Insurgent
tariff reform immediately before him.
Mr. Bailey announced last night that
he hoped the privilege of casting the
deciding vote would fall to him In I
order to show his opposition. Governor
Smith has insisted all along that he
would not leave Georgia at this time
to assume his seat In the Senate.
The House free list bllj was beaten
on a tie vote of 3? to 39. was then
reconsidered, changed by a compro?
mise amendment offered by Senator
Kern, of Indiana, former Democratic
candidate for Vice-President, and with
Democratic-Republican-Insurgents sup?
port finally passed as amended by a
vote of 4S to 30.
Originally, the bill provided that
meat producta, flour and cereal pro?
ducts from all countries should be
admitted free of tariff duty Into the
United States. The Kern amendment
provides that this free admission shall
epply only to meats, flour aiid cereal
products "coming from any foreign
country with which the United States
has a reciprocity trade agreement, and
which shall admit from the United
States free of duty cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, horses, cattle and hogs."
Accompllah Their Aim.
It is admitted that this provision
applies only to Canada, after the new
reciprocity agreement shall have be?
come effective between the two coun?
tries. Senator Bailey. Senator Clapp
and other Insurgents, who voted for
the free list after the Kern compromise
amendment had been adopted, declared
to-night that the amendment accom?
plishes what they tried to effect by
amendments to the reciprocity hill.
It admits the manufactured articles
made from farm products free from
Canada, an end which the Insurgents
repeatedly tried to gain In the reci?
procity fight. Several other amend?
ments were adopted after they had
been first defeated, when offered as
amendments to the origins! bill. One
of these, by Mr. Gronna, of North
Dakota. Insurgent Republican, ex?
tends the free admission of shoes to
cover all kinds of footwear, whether
leather or not. Another by the same
author admits free Roman, Portland
and other hydraulic cements An
amendment by Mr. Shlvely, of Indiana,
Democrat, adds binders to the list of
agricultural machinery that Is to be
udmltted free.
If President Taft vetoes the free
list bill and the wool tariff bill, both
of which, it is asserted, will be sent
to him. the Democratic managers of
the House will make no further effort
at tariff revision this session, but
will continue the preparation of tariff
bills for the regular session next De?
cember. If he signs either measure,
the whole tariff program of the Demo?
crats will be opened up and Congress
will remain In session.
Democratic Leader Underwood made
this announcement to-day.

Victory for "Dry*."
I Special to The Tlmes-Ulspatch.]
Lvnchburg. Va.. August 1.?Judge w.
R. Barksdale. of this Judlclul circuit,
has decided the contest of the local
option election held ir. Roxnoke mag?
isterial dttutrict, Halifax county, on
May .'7 last. The court's decision is
a victory for the "drys."
The district, upon tho returns, voted j
"wet" by a majority of five votes, but ,
the result was conieste_d..Jjy the "dry" |
people, and Judge Barksdale has de?
clared the election illeg.il, for tae cor?
rected retdrni show a "dry" majority
of four votes.
The grounds ot contest were that
twelve voters vviio participated in the
election had no right to vote, and tho
evidence brought out In the trial of
the contest showed how nine of these
voter In the election. The contestants
claimed that five negroes were voted ,
under the old soldier clause without
having paid their capitation taxes;
that jwo had not made application In
writing, and that the oth^r contested !
vote? were cast without the poll taxes
having beer, paid as required by law.
Judge Barksdale stated that he de?
cided to throw out the nine "wet"
votes, and after correcting the returns
the majority of four was shown for
the "drys."
There can be no appeal from this
decision, and the district will remain
dry for another two years, at least.
TRUTH IN ADVERTISING
That I? Keynote of Addresaea Before
Boston Convention.
-Boston. Mass., August 1.?"Truth In
Advertising" was tho keynote or the
addresses at the first general session
this afternoon of the seventh annual
convention of the Associated Advertis?
ing Clult- of Amerjca.
There are 3.000 delegates hero from
all parts of the United States. Canada,
Great Britain and Ireland. Bert M.
Morse, of New York, declared: "A code
of ethics for advertising that all could
espouse and observe might consist of
one single worn: Honesty."
In his annual report. President S. C.
Dobbs, of Atlanta, Ga.. advocated the
formation of State organizations of
advertising men.
A letter from Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was read, In which the for?
mer President expressed his regret at
not being able to attend. He urged
cleanliness, honesty and decency In
advertising. Tho writer said the ad?
vance, along this line was praise?
worthy, but that newspapers are lag?

That He Is "Hired Harle?
quin of Machine"?Both
Make Statements, in Which
They Repeat Charges.
[Special to The Times-Dispatch.]
Norfolk, Va., August 1.?The "lie"
was passed to-night at tho Orpheum
Theatre, in Portsmouth, -when W. Mc?
Donald Leo. chalrmnn of the State
Fisheries Commission. Interrupted Car?
ter Glass In the midst of his scheduled
speech to brand as false the charge
that Mr. Lee's paper, the Irvlngton Cit?
izen, had been bought with political
patronage. Mr. Glass offered to meot
the Fish Commissioner at any time or
any place.
Lee Ianucs Statement.
Mr. Lee at mldnijrht Issued the fol?
lowing card:
"To the Public:
"Hon. Carter Glass has repeatedly,
during his campaign for the United
States Senate, referred to me in an of?
fensive manner, und he reached tho
limit of endurance ?.t Portsmouth to?
night. I waa Informd of what he said,
and went at once into the hall where
ho was speaking, and In tho presence
of his audience denounced his state?
ment as a malicious falsehood and
branded him as a pernicious liar. I
shall not recognize Mr. Glass as a gen?
tleman or take any further notice of
him till ho has removed this brand
from his brow. (Signed)
"\v. McDonald lee."
Mr. Glass was Introduced by F. Nash
Billsoly, and his speech was much Ilka
those he has delivered before In tho
present campaign. He reviewed his
[ candidacy for the Senate and attacked
I the State political organization, scor
I Ing Governor Mann's and Ex-Governor
! Swanson's administrations.
Discussing political methods of rhe?
organization and what ho termed sub?
sidized newspapers, Mr. Glass said:
"I understand that there Is In this
audience n man who has threatened to
j drive me from the stump, and I wish
to say that man Is bought with polit?
ical patronage."
A ripple of excitement ran through
the audience. ' There was a moment's
silence and then stormy applause.
Mr. Olass continued with a reference
to the proposal to dispense with speech,
making In the present campaign. Then
he was interrupted.
Mr. Lee strolled down a side aisle
and raised his hand. He requested Mr.
Glass to permit an Interruption, say?
ing that he had been Informed by a'
friend that certain statements reflect- ,.
ing upon him and his paper had beep'
made. He asked that they be repeateo.
Repeats Hia Charge.
Catcalls and hisses broke out all
over the auditorium, and subsided only
when Mr. Glass advanced to the edgo
of the platform, pointed his finger at
Air. Lee. and exclaimed:
"I said a while ago that I have no
more respect for a newspaper that sells
out .for money than 1 have for one
which sells out for political patronage.
I said that I understood that you had
stated to a Richmond newspaper man
that I had promised to refrain from
mentioning your name during the rest
of this campaign. I will say that this
latter statement Is an unmitigated
falsehood, and that you have sold out
your papor for political patronage."
Mr. Lee had moved closer to tho
stage. Before he could reply a dem?
onstration, noisier than the first, oc
! curred, and his. voice could not bo
heard more than a few feet away.
I Those near him caught the shout:
I "That la an unmitigated lie. and you
are a pernlc'ous liar."
"Can that stuff": "put him out";
"give it to him, Glass." were some of the
cries from every part of the house, and
Mr. Lee retreated with this partlns
shot from the senatorial candldato:
"I am responsible for anything I
say. and I am wllUng to meet you at
I any time or any place."
Mr. Glass answered tho Lee card
with the following:
"When Mr. Glass was called over the
telephone and told of Mr. Lee's card
he laughed and said he did not propose
to be further disturbed by the hired
harlequin of tho Virginia political ma
: chine.
"I have hoen cauterizing this fellow
Lee from every stump in the State for
the last four months, and when I read
his impudent threat to drive me front
the stump i determined to put an end
to his disorderly conduct. I did not
hear what he said to mo at Ports?
mouth, as the audience seemed dls- ?
posed to howl him down; but I am sure
nobody, particularly Mr. I,eo, failed to
hear what I said to him."
