And the millionaire Senator was asked about
that, just as he got off the Mauretania from a
short visit to Europe. The fact that he hadn't
read it didn't keep him from telling what he
thinks about Lawson.
Lawson is a very dangerous man" said he.
THE only interest he has is self-interest. He
does not spend thousands Of dollars in advertis-
ing in order to benefit the community, but only
to work the stock market for himself"
Those who have studied financial history re-
called that Mr.. Lawson and his "Frenzied FL
nance" had some very pertinent and personal
things to say about Mr.. Clark, and were not sur
prised that the Senator should so comment upon
Mr.. Lawson.
Speaking of other matters, Senator Clark
said he found financial conditions in Germany
and France good, but the discussion over the
budget in England had upset things there. What

Then an effort was made to get the Senator to talk about the

"Do you think the Standard Oil Company is bad thing for

"It is a very big corporation" he replied, but he wouldn't meet

smiled, for his system had so far neted him $50, 100000.

JUDGE De LACY UPHELD.
Wright Says He Can Punish for
Non-Support Of Minor Child.

Judge De Lacy OF the Juvenile Court has
the Jurisdiction to punish a father for
the failure to support a minor child I'M
der the age Of sixteen years, according
to the opinion of Justice Wright of the
District Supreme Court, delivered yester-
day.
The court dismissed the petition Of
Joseph E. Walch. who was required last
February to pay $50 month and had
been threatened with punishment for
contempt in failing to pay the December
installment under the order Of court
In dismissing the petition Justice Wright
held that certiorari was not the method
to be adopted to secure q review Of an
error into which Judge De Lacy may
have fallen. Redress was to be had by
appeal, he declared.
This phase of the situation In nOn-sup-
port cases was not embraced in the de-
cisions of the Court Of Appeals abridging
the Jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court
by holding that proceedings could not be
taken in that tribunal to require hus-
bands to support wives.

AGED WOMAN IS beaten
AND ROBBED OF MONEY
Mrs. Catherine Hennessy Receives
Severe Bruises at Hands Of On
identified Footpad.

Mrs. Catherine Hennessy. who has
been a familiar figure about the navy
yard for more than twenty-five years,
was attacked hast night by an unidenti-
fed white man and relieved OF what
money she had In her purse, about $40.
She was SO roughly handled that 1t be-
came necessary for the police to remove
her to the Casualty Hospital for treat
ment.
Mrs. Hennessy, who has been engaged
selling pies and fruit to navy yard en-
ployes was attacked at the entrance to
her house, 1909 10th street southeast,
about 8 o'clock. She thinks her assail-
ant was secreted in the house. but the
police could not substantiate this view.
1t is the opinion of the police that the
footpad secreted himself near the door.
where there were vines enough to hide him
from view, and attacked Mrs. Hennessy
as she was about to enter her home. She
screamed for assistance and neighbors
responded.
No Trace Of Thief.
Two men living in the neighborhood
made search for the robber. but failed to
get any trace Of him. An ambulance was
summoned and Mrs. Hennessy was hur-
ried to the hospital. She had sustained
painful bruises about her face, but her
condition was not serious.
The injured woman was unable to
furnish description OF her assailant.
She was able to leave the hospital this
morning.
