ruled, after a searching analysis OF
precedents, that "even though it were
an ascertained fact that the gentle
man from New Yurk had eaxnnaitted
crime in 1896, it would be doubtful
whether the house could punish him
The house cannot take" cognizance OF
an offense alleged to have been COM
mitted before the person charged be-
came a member Therefore Cockran's
resolution is not privileged" The
democrats appealed, but the republi-

floor on roll call.

DES MONIES, Ia, April 27.-Lena
A. Gaylord, of Belvidere, ILL.,, who
achieved fame in the fire that de-
stroyed the Clifton hotel at Cedar
Rapids last year, has brought suit for
$4,000 damages for injuries sustained

Miss Gaylord was one Of the first to
discover the fire and, unmindful of her
own danger, spread the alarm through
the hotel until her own retreat was
cut off. She was clad only in her
night apparel, it was bitterly cold and
she contracted a cold that has since
proved serious.
She was rescued with difficulty leap
ing from an upper window into a net
held by the firemen. Even then she
declined to rest, but busted herself

ton.

COURT MARTIAL
ON THE MISSOURI
Presence of Charges in Handling
Room Taken as Violation
of Rules.
REp1'ET,IT, SPECIAL


Washington. April 17.-Infcrmation has
been received at the Navy Department
that the court Of inquiry on the accident
on the after turret Of the battleship Mis-
souri, on April 13 wol consist Of Rear Ad-
miral F. e. Chadwick, Commander in
Chief of the South Atlantic fleet: Captain
Joseph n. Henlphill and Commander w.
II. Sutherland and Lieutenant Mark Bfis-
tol. 1t Is not known how long the court
of inquiry will continue its sessions.
Whether a court-martial will grow out of
the inquiry is the question which now
comes to the front. The reported presence
of three or four charges in the handling
room at the time of the explosion, is taken
as violation of regulations due to the
system of rapid firing developed during
target practice.
When the charge of an s-inch gun ex-
ploded on the Massachusetts and killed
nine men, Ensign Workman was found
guilty of grave error in his handling OF
the gun. but no further proceedings were
recommended.
