As is well-known. I hue been for nearly thirty. Ielht years on the btnoh a greater part of that 1 time on the bench of th Court of Appeals of Maryland and for the last eleven and a bait yean on toe bench of the Court of Appeals of this District. And during that long period of service It has been a source of Intense gratification to me that the relations between the bar and myself as well as that with my brother Judges baa been non. other than that of entire kindness and courtesy.

The time has come however wten those kindly bfflclal relations. which hate long subsisted must terminate. Time and the Infirmities of axe render It necessary that I should retire to the shades of life and give plate to one of more youthful vigor and energy for the discharge of the duties of the position that I hue' heretofore held In this court. We have been associated together since the organization of this court. In the work of administering Justice your function being that of en lightening the court.

and the function of the court that to decide the Issue of- the' matter cuaed befn It. It has been the good fortune of this court during the period of Its existence I have I. learned and able bar and that has been no small element In whatever' success may have attained by the court. A load and learned bar I essential to the success of any court. however high and controlling Its Jurisdiction.

and the member of the last house of deputies who formally rented the revised laws to that body. There is no provision in. the new canons for the disposition of cases begun under the old laws. which may be pending hen the revised canons go Into effect. The person who has authority to act In such an emergency Is the Right Rev.

Daniel S. Tuttle. Bishop of Missouri. and the presiding bishop of the church. If Bishop Tuttle decides that the existing presentment agralnst Bishop Talbot is Irregular.

the present proceedings can be dropped and a new presentment made to conform to the provisions of the revised canons. The changes In the church laws. it Is admitted. were made to meet cases like the Talbot-Irvine trouble. When an at tempt was made In 1902 to reopen the case.

which had been settled in favor of Bishop Talbot. the whole matter had to be dropped on a ruling that the presiding bishop had no canonical warrant to proceed further. While these deliberations were on. the. necessity for a court of review and appeal became.

BLOODHOUNDS PUT ON TRAIL Hurricane Branch Sends Son with Two of His Famous Man-hunters to Aid Sheriff Palmer and Posse in Locating the Miscreant Miss Ebaugh Is Not Positive that the Man Was a Negro. WASHINGTON POST BUREAU 621 King Street Alexandria Va. Late last night the Alexandria County.

officers and the posse of citizens which Is assisting in the search had tailed to find any trace of the unknown man who committed a felonious assault upon Ms Esther Peverill the year daughter of Mr. Lewis Peverill near Arlington Junction Thursday night and Sheriff Palmer yesterday telegraphed to Suffolk Va. for John J. S. Hurricane Branch and his pack of bloodhounds in the hope or getting upon the trail of the brute.

Miss Peverllls condition is said to be serious and the Indignation which the crime has aroused among the people of Alexandria County Is not on the decrease. As stated yesterday. Miss Peverill and hr companion. Miss Ebaugh described their assailant as an unusually tall and very black negro who wore a dark suit and black slouch hat and who carried under one arm a. gunny sack which he threw' to orw side and which was found near the scene.

In calmer moments yes. terday however it Is said that Miss Ebaugh expressed some uncertainty as to whether he was a negro or a soot-begrimed white man but the fact that four negro men. one much taller than the others and. each carrying a sack under his arm were seen loitering about the neighborhood late in the afternoon leads to the belief that a negro committed the crime. It is further understood that the young women up a heroic fight before Miss Peverill was overcome and Miss Ebaugh forced to run for assistance and it is quite probable that.

it will be found that the mans face Is terribly scratched by their finger nails should he be apprehended in the next few days. Feeling at White Heat. The case exhibits a degree of brutality that has shocked this entire section. and which will lead to summary and. In all probability horrible revenge upon the fiend should he be caught.

Miss Peverill who Is one of the pret- tiest and most popular girls in the county was the gut of Miss Beulah Ebaugh. whose father. Mr. William E. Ebaugh.

Is the superintendent of the Potomac Brick Company and whose home is near Brick Haven. a short distance from Arlington Junction. Thursday night Mr. Ebaugh accompanied his daughter and her guest to a Christmas entertainment at the Columbia school house a short distance west of Arlington Junction and. it Is said.

left before the entertainment was over upon receiving assurances that the young women would be escorted home. Through some misunderstanding how- ever. they had company only as far as Arlington Junction where their friends took a car for Washington. and they determined to make the rest of the jour- ney a distance of about a fourth of a mile alone. They had proceeded about fifty yards south of the station when the man emerged from the bushes near the electric railway tracks and dropping his bag struck Miss Ebaugh over the head.

at the same time trying to grab her. She eluded his grasp and then with the remark You are not the one I want he made an attack upon Miss Peverill. who fought him until she was tendered unconscious by blows upon her head and face. In the meantime Miss Ebaugh ran to a near-by brick yard and alarmed the night watchman who in turn. summoned the telegrapher at Arlington Junction and in a few minutes several men were following Miss Ebaughs lead.

When they arrived the man had disappeared but Miss Peverill bruised and bleeding. was found lying in a ditch beside the tracks. and was still partially unconscious. She was removed' to Mr. Ebaughs residence.

where as stated yes- tc rday she was attended by Dr. A. A. Rittenour who was summoned from this city by telephone. In a short while the.

ws of the atvault spread and citizens und officers of the county have since been searching for the miscreant. Bloodhounds Set to Work. The son of American Branch of Suffolk Va. arrived about 10:30 o'clock last night his train being nearly three hours late. He had with him two of his fathers bloodhounds and was met by a number of citizens of Alexandria.

The party proceeded to Alexandria County to try 10 take up the trail. The Alexandria police department re ceived a long-distance telephone message lost night from American Branch saying that If It is necessary he will come to Alexandria himself bringing with him another dog. He instructed the police to notify Ins son to put the dogs on the trail last night provided the ground was not frozen too hard. Mr. Branch claims that under favorable weather conditions his dogs can follow a trail five days old and one of the dogs has a record of running down a man whose trail was four Jays old.

In view of these circumstances and the tact that the crime had been committed only a little over twenty hours ago. It is believed that the dogs will be successful In running down the criminal. A large number of men many on horseback have gone out to assist In the pursuit. Search in Washington. The first news received by the Washington police of the assault by a negro upon Misses Esther Peverill and Beulah Ebaugh near Arlington Junction Va.

late Thursday night. was contained in a telephone message from Lleut. Smith. of the Alexandria police to Cap Cross at headquarters. Lookouts containing a description of the negro were telephoned to all police stations in the city policemen on their beats were notified through the patrol boxes.

and the men on duty at the different bridges leading across the Potomac from Virginia were Instructed to keep a particularly close watch. No ef forts were spared to locate thd negro but up to ari early hour this morning no arrests had been made. Hurricane Branch's Bloodhound. Special to The Washington Post. Suffolk.

WITH THE GUARDSMEN All Eager to Get the New Service Medals. MEN DIVIDED IN TWO CLASSES Bronze and Silver but No Gold Trophies Now Naval Militiamen Deplore Lack of Interest in Their Training Ship Puritan Rifle Practice Here and in Canada Changes in' the Roster. A great deal of Interest la being taken by the members of the District National Guard In the distribution of the service dals to be made within the next few- weeks. Enlisted men who have served six ten twenty or twenty-five years in the Guard will receive either a bronze or a silver medal but the gold medal for the year service cannot at this time be awarded to any member of the Guard for the reason that the District militia was not organized until 1SS7. and therefore in point of service no member is at.

this time entitled to the gold medal. Many of them however will receive the slver medal. In succeeding years as the members continue to serve In the Guaj an additional sliver bar will be added to the medal for each five years of service. When the year limit Is reached such members who have attained this rank in service will be given the gold medal. The applications for service medals have come into District headquarters with a great deal of regularity In the pat week.

When It became known. that the medals were to be distributed to such members who had attained. an average or 75 points in matter of attendance at drills the men began to get busy. Forty-five applications were made during the week. These applications are divided' Into two cla ses one class containing the names of such members who have served in the Guard for a period of ten years or more and the other class who have served six years and not to exceed ten.

years. The year men will receive the bronze medal and the year members the silver medal. In the first class there are twenty- eight applications on file and twenty-one are recorded for men who have served six years. American and Canadian Marksmanship. A comparison is often made between the attitude of the Canadian government toward rifle practice and that of the American government many of the American riflemen contending that the Canadian government Is the most liberal In Its provisions for rifle practice.

The national board for the promotion of rifle practice which Is charged by Congress with the duty of preparing a plan for the encouragement of rifle practice in this country is In receipt of the following communication front a Canadian source which contains some Interesting observations on the' rrogress of similar work In Canada. The education of every citizen to shoot straight' and become an expert rifleman la the foundation of Canada's fens and the Important feature in Lord Dundonalds project ot a force of 100000. men In our first lino hence his desire for civilian marksmen and an urgent reason that the govern- nienl provide rifle ranges an over the Dominion. But even with the present ranges further steps will have to be taken to popularize rifle practice by lessening Its cost. Militiamen and civilians are willing to devoto their time gratis to become proficient In the use of the rifle.

but they cannot be expected to spend money on It as Well a thing many can in afford to do. To remedy this perhaps the following suggestion may be In order The requisite number of. cartridges could be easily served out gratis bX- the government to the authorized recipients at thj range through the caretaker he taking the names and receiving at the end of the practice the empty hells which would be vouchers that these men had done their duty. The government might also' engage say from May 1 to November 1 sufficient men toe every target on the range and pay these markers thus ewry target would be In operation and much time saved besides eliminating the charge for markers. The cost of transportation for the city corps similar and suitable arrangements could he made in the rural districts could be lightened by tho government furnishing through the caretaker tree return tickets which would be given to those shooting after their practice was completed on checking over their names on his list and their re turning the empty shells and not otherwise.

Surely the working out of such a system should not difficult matter. Rifle shooting will never be the success It ought to be until the cost of these three items la materially reduced. Then rifle clubs and associations would flourish and be' more numerous than they are at present simply by this reduction of cost to the members as proficiency requires much practice. Naval Men Have a Grievance. The first drill of the season by the naval militia will be held next Thursday on the monitor Puritan lying at the foot of Seventh street.

Commander Stratton who recently assumed command or. the District naval militia will be In charge. There Is a great deal of comment among the members of the District naval mlll tla over the lack of Interest taken by the average Washingtonian In their work. It is pointed out that the monitor Puritan Is one of the largest boats of her' class In the navy and has been anchored at the toot of Seventh street for a long time. The boat Is open for Inspection every afternoon.

but it is seldom that a visitor appears. although a steam launch Is at the dock zeady to carry any person to the boat. The naval boys say there Is something wrong. When a visiting warship comes to this port the people flock to the wharves to catch a glimpse of the craft. Yet they argue the monitor Puritan la anchored at Seventh street.

Is open for Inspection every Sunday afternoon but no one takes any Interest in the boat Its crew or the naval militia which there are about 200 In the city. The Puritan Is 300 feet In. length 68 feet wide and draws 18 feet of water. During the week days It Is. In charge or Chief Boatswajn James Dowllng and a crew of two ten all of the navy but now on detached duty.

Inaugural Plans in Abeyance. No plans have been made by the District National Guard. to take part In the Inaugural parade. The officers and men are waiting orders from the War Department as to what will be the changes made in the uniforms of the militia. The department is contemplating a change In the uniforms of the regular army men and this change will affect the District militia as well as the National Guard or the States.

It is thought that the orders will be Is sued within the next few days and after an official copy has been received by the District officers plans will be made to take part In the Inaugural parade. The schedule of drills published last week for the guidance of the Second Regiment. National Guard has been re yoked by order of the commanding officer. The old armory Is being' fitted up with a new floor of three-Inch maple boards and during the work of refitting the building drills will have to be suspended Names Taken from the Rolls.
