Today, over southwest way, at the police garage,. on School street, a smaller group of men watched one of these “old-timers” try out for mount- ed duty once more on one of the po- lice department's lacest consignment of motor cycles. Makes Startling Showing. Tt @as something more than a try- out, for when Officer Eugene Davis of No.' 3 precinct had completed his test some of the younger applicants were jwilling to admit that Davis' long ab- sence from mounted duty and his sup- posed unfamiliarity with the greatly improved and vastly different ma- chine of today did not baffle him any more than did the one-lunger he rode than a decade ago. Thirteen other precinct men were on hand to go through tests designed quality them to Army motor cyeles, which the local police recently obtained from the War AT out of the White House grounds more | ride the surplus. nd Department. All_performed credli- ably, but it was Davis who won the wholehearted congratulations of the entire group. Davis first rode a bicycle, that was in the days when tandems were pop- ular, and he was assigned to ride behind the steamer used by Presi- dent Roosevelt. When Presiden Taft came into office in 1988, an automobiles began to grow in num- her and to increase In speed. Davis ting to be a serious business. Motor cycles were just beginning to attract general attention, so the police de- partment alert to changing condi- tions, purchased a couple of the things for its White House men. The machines were of the old-fash- ioned run-and-hop-on-‘em type, with no gear-shifting to worry about, but to operate which successfully a strong pair of legs and some excess wind were essential. Straddling one of these bright-colored cycles, Davis attracted more attention than Presi- dent Taft did himself. Davis served at the White House as a mounted policeman throughout Taft's administration and during the first part of Wilson's. Later he was transferred to patrol duty.

Carson, & farmer resid- ing near Newburg, Charles county, Md., was brought to Providence Hos- found that peddling a bike was get- | pital Sunday afternoon and treated for severe wounds in his arm, the wounds, it is charged, having been inflicted by John Miner, colored, a tenant on Carson's farm. Miner was arrested shortly after /| the shooting and lodged in jail at La Plata and this morning Jerome Miner, his brother, was arrested as an alleged accessory, assault and bat- tery with intent to kill being the charge against them. v Some feeling was displayed by neighbors of Carson over the affair and Chief Judge Briscoe gave direc- tions to the sheriff to swear.in a number of guards, if he deemed such action necessary. State's Attorney Cooksey said this morning that everything about the county jail was quiet last night and he anticipated no attempt at mob violence. It appears that several days ago Carson was working in a field on his farm while John Miner was driving about in an automobile. The farmer's horse became frightened at the auto- mobile and Miner, it is said, refused to shut off his engine to relieve the situation. v ‘Trouble between the men resulted and it was reported that Carson gave Miner a flogging. Sunday afternon, it is charged, the colored man ap- peared at the Carson home, where thas farmer was asieep in a hamn: s and sent the churge of shot through a screen, wounding Carson's arm.
