PUBLIC LAND ROBBERY.
Ex-Secretary Hitchcock Talks at
Chicago BANQUET

CHICAGO, December 14.-At the BAN
quet of the Commercial Club tonight
Ethan Allen Hitchcock, former Secretary
of the Interior. delivered an address COW
ering the organization and work of the
Department of the Interior. He narrated
in general way all that had been accom-
plished by the department since it's in
ception covering his own administration.
He detailed the problems which the de-
partment is compelled to meet from time
to time and said:
IF the laws are unjust and oppressive,
the answer has been and still IS to amend
or repeal them. If the people fail to eXer-
else their rights and duties at the pri-
maries they cannot complain IL politicians
thinking only of their political debts, re-
sort to methods and accomplish results
which the patriot would either regard
with contempt or Indignantly expose.
Just SO long as government officials
wear the collar of those to whom they
are indebted for their nomination and ap-
pointment just so long will we have land
frauds by perjured plunderers, illegal
fencing of the public domain to tie ex-
clusion of the pioneer home builder, and
the speculative CRATER ready and eager
to rob the nations wards Of their rightful
Inheritance"

SUSTAINS SERIOUS INJURY
RESIDENT OF VIRGINIA PA.
TENT IN LOCAL HOSPITAL.
Shooting and Cutting ARRAY Near
Chain Bridge-Brief Explanation
by Wounded Man. 4

When the police Of the seventh pre-
c1nct heard last night that a man had
been shot and cut and taken to George
town University Hospital they feared
they had a murder mystery to solve
Relief was experienced, however, when It
was learned that the patient had re-
ceived the wounds while in Virginia.
He is William Mudd, thirty-one years Of
age, who resides in Alexandria county,
near Cooney station, short distance
from Cherrydale.
Mudd was suffering from a bullet
wound in his right arm. cuts across his
right cheek and incised wounds of his
throat His appearances was that of a
man who had been through something
more serious than an ordinary shooting
and cutting ARRAY. DR.. Reynard re-
ceived the patient at the hospital and
worked upon him in the operating room
until after midnight. Mudd. who told a
Star reporter he had been drinking, was
cheerful through the operation and had
no complaint to make.
The story of the patient is that he had
been in Georgetown early in the evening
and was on his way home with several
friends. They started ''fooling" by push
ing one another across the road. The
party was near Chain bridge, 1t was ex-
planned. when the cutting and shooting
occurred.
May Talk Today.
why were you shot and cut?" he was
asked.
Il don't care to tell any more tonight
was the answer, but tomorrow I'll have
something more to say"
Mudd said he went to the house of a
friend and washed his wounds, and then
proceeded to Summit station. on the
Great Falls and Old Dominion electric
line. He met his brother at the station,
and the latter accompanied him to the
hospital. The wounded man denied that
he had engaged in q row about girl.
The brother of the wounded man re-
manned at the hospital until the surgeons
had finished their work. 1t was neces-
sary to use the X-ray instrument in order
to locate the bullet, which was in the
fieshy part of the arm above the elbow.
Mudd and his brother declared that the
matter was not ended. The police made
arrangements last night to notify Sheriff
Palmer and Commonwealth Attorney
Mackey of the affair

WAGING WAR ON RATS.
Britishers Determined to Rid Coun
try Of the Pests.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 1.-THE great
anti-rat crusade has been started this
week with such supporters as Lord Ave
bury, Sir Lander Brunton, DR.. Crichton-
Browne and Sir Harry Johnston. They
proclaim the astonishing fact that the
rodents cause $4,000, 900 worth of prop
erty damage annually in England alone,
while their hygienic danger is still more
appalling. 1t is pointed out that they are
chiefly responsible for the spread of
plaques and epidenics. and trichinosis has
been traced to rats, pigs and subsequent
ly people who eat pork.
Rats multiply at the rate of 500 de-
scendants yearly from one pair. Den
mark has tried the experiment of paying
9 cents for each dead rat, at a cost of
s3,6S0 1t is calculated that these rats
will have done damage to the amount
Of S195, 900. The English agitators against
the rat advocate a similar law in Eng
land. Yesterdays meeting, however, was
a walkover for the rats, in that it proved
a fiasco almost.

PAYS HIGH FOR PEACE
AGED BREWER GIVING AWAY
ABOUT $12,oOo,ooo.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, December 14.-John
F. Betz ST., multi-millionaire brewer, gave
this afternoon to his son, John Betz, jr.,
his fourteen-story office building at Broad
and South Pennsylvania Square, adjacent
to the public buildings, and one of the
most valuable pieces of real estate in the
city, an offer of s., 10000 for it by Felix
1sman having been turned down by the
owner few weeks ago. This gift follows
that of the Germania brewery, worth
about half million, to his grandson yes
terday, and 1t goes before gifts of many
more millions to his immediate family.
By the gift of these millions the old
brewer. who is now past seventy, hopes
to protect his young wife. who was the
Countess Anna Helena Hierenzoff of Ba-
tavia. whom he met ten years ago. Sc
cretly married, and has been secretly nv
ing with her in Philadelphia ever since.
Row With His Children.
: Mrs. Betz. ST., is now only thirty-three
years old and very beautiful She has
had two children by the brewer, a girl,
Frances, aged four, and Johann, aged
seven.
1t was only by the transfer of the prop
critics that the fact of the romantic mar
riage became known. Old Mr.. Betz had
spent his time migrating between his
home at Borad and Berks streets, where
his wife lives, and his sons home. Ev-
cry one thought him a wdower.
1t leaked out today that about a month
ago John Betz, jr., discovered that his
father was married. There was bitter
quarrel into which was drawn John
Betz, Sd, the grandson and others of the
old mans family. Notice was served upon
the head of the Betz family that con-
certed effort would be made to break
his will when he died and steps be taken
also to recover everything he might give
his young wife and children.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-12-15
Would Protect His Wife.

Mr.. Betz is old and in poor health. To
avoid this danger he determined to give
away the greater part of his fortune,
which Is estimated at S15,0OO,OOO. to his
relatives if they would agree not to modest
or interfere with Mrs. Betz and the two
children after his death. This agreement,
it was said. today, was signed Monday
and the transfers of property and gifts
are now following. 1t is said that he
aims to keep million apiece for his
widow and children.
