Branch Uniontown mm mm INTEREST WASHINGTON1, Dec. 30.-Never tas the completness of the immunity fruited members of the Diplomatic Corps at the American Capital been better exemplified than by a recent occurence which has set the inner circle of Washington society in a whirl of Bossiping excitement. Be cause one of the men concerned in the affair happened to be a diplomat, an effort has been made to hush the matter up, the police have been call ed off and the local press has let the matter drop. And this notwithstand ing the fact that a man was myster iously and seriously wounded on one of the most fashionable streets of the city. According to the story, a colored man stopped a gentleman in eve ning dress and fashionably gowned woman about nine o'clock one even jug recently in New Hampshire ar enue and asked his way to another part Of the city. The answer of the gentleman in evening dress was to draw a revolver and shoot the negro down. The man who did the shooting and his richly-attired companion have never been located or officially iden tified, although they stopped for half an hour after the affair in a fashion able apartment house near the scene of the shooting and talked to the clerk there. This is the story, so far as made public by the authorities. But from other sources it was learned that the man was a diplomat from one of the South American republics and that the woman with him was the wife of Astoria Theatre WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6th JOHN CORT, Presents The Pre-Eminent American Artist FLORENCE ROBERTS and a Company of Per fect Players in the Suc cess of Her Career "113 111 Oi II By Seymour Obermer Box Office open Tues day January 5th, 1909 PRICES: 50, 75, $1, $1.50 an army officer and prominent in so ciety here; that her husband, becom ing suspicious of the attentions show ered upon his wife by the diplomat, had hired the colored man to follow them. This is fcoing the rounds of diplomatic and exclusive social cir cles. and will not down. This immunity from the laws of Uncle Sam, even though a seriou offense has been committed, is ex tended to some two hundred diplo mats, together with their families and households in Washington. The law is very stringent toward an ofu cer who attempts to arrest or bring to trial a member of the diplomatic corps, providing a long term of im prisonment for the over-aealous of ficial under the immunity law, automobile, but this government dip lomats also are freed from suit for debt. They may run up bills, if they see fit. and suddenly leave Washing ton without the possibility of being brought to justice. But it must be said in behalf of the corps, that its members rarely take advantage of their immunities; or rather put themselves in position to take ad vantage of them. This is due to the fact that other governments a rule, select high-class men to rep resent them in Washington. A number of eases are on record of attempts to hold diplomats for exceeding the speed laws in their has always hastened to uphold the international law relating to diplo matic immunity, and country jus tices have been in danger of sum mary nunishment. A year or more ago a diplomat was assaulted on the streets of Washington, as by a well known politician. The trouble arose over a woman whom the diplomat was escorting home, and the latter was stabbed. Although he was ser iously wounded, the diplomat refused to press the case against the politic ian and it was dropped. IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW mm - r v. . .i m s ..mm .

Athletic Instructor Charles Riper, the newly appointed manager of the A. A. A. A. arrived here yesterday to assume his important post in that establishment and will take over the trust officially tomorrow morning. He is a pleasant young gentleman who seems to have hu particular cult t his fingers' ends, as it were, and to be heartily in -earnest about it. Mr. Riper has had extended experience tn athletic matters, being for the past two years athletic instructor at the Vancouver barracks, a position de manding good work from a teacher in his line, and prior to that service, he was a successful exponent of his art, or science, in athletic circles at Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Riper desires to meet the jun ior members, of the A. A. A. A. at the auditorium on Saturday morning between the hours of 10 -and 12 o'clock, along with all other boys who have an intent or desire to join the association; and in the evening of the same day, it is his wish to meet the senior members and all who may be thinking of joining, at the same place, from 7 to 9 o'clock. The ladies' classes he ill arrange fof early in the coming week. The coming of Mr. Riper will have much to do with closing up a lot of pending negotiations for membership and his work will undoubtedly draw heavily on the interest of those not yet in the athletic fold. The -institution is in splendid shape and becom ing more popular every day; and in a very short time it will be in full running order, with all classes fixed and all arrangements made for a fine career. Good luck to it I The government has one redress if diplomats become obnoxious. It may demand their recall as being non grata to this country. Frequently this course has been adopted. Of course, the same immunity is granted Ameri can diplomats abroad as are granted the foreigners here. SERVICE IN THE CABINET. Ths Custom of Our Presidents In th Republic's Early Day. If President John Adams had been a man of different temperament the cos torn might hare been established In the early years of the government of the United States of retaining the cab inet of one aduiluUtratton for service with Us successor where that succes sor succeeded to the political Ideas of Its predecessor. President Adams sought at first to retain through bis administration the m4nbers of the cabinet of President Washington. In deed, at that early period the status of, a cabinet officer was not exactly that of the present time, and tn the course of President Adams' rows with the members of his official household he resorted to the strange step of re moving his secretary of state, Timo thy Pickering, and James McHenry, his secretary of war. President Jefferson of course took a new cabinet. President Madison con tinned In his administration a number of the cabinet officers of President Jefferson, and President Monroe held some of his predecessor's. John Qulncy Adams also continued to meet about bis council board some of the advisers of James Monroe, but Andrew Jackson began his administration with an en tirely new set of official counselors. Tie maintained also another set of ad visers, unofficial, who became known as the "kitchen cabinet." For some time the gentlemen who bad acted respectively as. secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, secre tary vt the nary, pastmurter Knerul and attorney general In the cabinet of President Jackson retained their scats under President Van Buren, but changes only awaited the passage of time. President Willlatn Henry Harrison's cabinet was brand new, and John Ty ler sought to keep It together after Harrison's death, but In less than six months all hnd renlgned except Dan iel Webster, the secretary of state. Presidents Polk, Taylor, Fillmore. Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln each formed a new cabluet. President Johnson's difficulties with certain members of the cabinet that existed ot the death of President Lin coln are well known. Since that pe riod, when for the second time In Amer ican history the question of a cabinet officer's rlfjlit to retain a seat which the president wiriies to have vacated came up :for nnftry controversy, cabi nets by miitunl bnt tnclt understand ing end with the administrations.

POWER OF WATER. Undsr Certain Condition. It Is Pras tically IrrssUtibla. When a man goes iu swimming at the seashore uud fclajis ths water forci bly with Ms bund or tukes a buck dive from a pier and lamia squarely on his back he' realists 'that the , unstable liquid offers not a little reslHttince. Yet, says a writer In the New York Tribune, It would surprise almost any body to see wbut water will do under certain conditions. A stream from u nreniau's hose will knock a uiuu dowu. The Jet from a nozzle used lu placer mining In the west eats away a large piece of laud In a day, toys with great bowlders as If they were pebbles and would shoot a man over the country as though be were a projectile from a cannon. There is a story of an eastern black smith who went west and made a bet that he could knock a bole through the Jet of one of these nozzles wltb a sledge hammer. He lifted his urms, swung the sledge and came down on the ten inch stream wltb a force that would have dented an anvil. Hut the Jet, never penetrated, whisked the massive bummer out of the black smith's bauds and. tossed It several hundred feet away Into the debris of gold bearing gravel beneath a crum bling cliff. After this the blacksmith left out Iron when be spoke of bard substances.
