Washington. D. c., Dec. 14.-A SEN
sational report from the war depart
ment showing how the country was
inadquately protected against invas-
ion from foreign government, was
sent to the house today as a secret
document and after a number of con
ferences and hurried telephone mes
sages, was returned to the war de-
partment on the ground that the
house could not receive secret re-
port.
With 391 members of that body the
contents of the report would stand
a chance of leaking out to the pub
lie Immediately, in the opinion of
those who conferred on the subject,
when the remote contingency of sec
ret session of the house was mention
ed.
Members of congress who saw the
document before it's withdrawal, say
the report Of Secretary Dickinson
points out that the country is who'll
ly unprepared. that there is woe
full inadquacy of men, of guns and of
ammunition; that the army should be
reorganized and that ctuncil of
national defense with the secretary OF
war at it's head, should be created by
congress. The report of General

rounded by q trustees of his own
choosing, comprising former cabinet
members, ex-ambassadors, college
presidents, lawyers and educators,
Andrew Carnegie today transferred
100000 in five per cent first mort
gage bonds, valued at 11,5OO,O00, to
be devoted primarily to the estab-
lishment of universal peace by the
abolition of war between nations and
such friction as may impair "the pro-
gress and happiness Of man." When
wars between nations shall have
cesaed, the fund is to be applied to
such altruistic purposes as will "best
help man i'm his glorious ascent on
ward and upward BY Punishment of
the most degrading evil or evils" ,"

AS Carnegie read the informal deed
of trust announcing at length the
general purpose of his gift there was
prolonged applause. He then explain
ed the incidents which inspired the
giving of the money at this time and
declared with emphasis that If the
English speaking race in the United
States and Great Britain would once
consolidate in a. movement for inter
national peace, the success of the

Wood, which was marked "confiden-
tial," dealt with these matters and
gave official admission to matters
that are of more or less common
knowledge among army and navy ex-
perts in this country and abroad.
In fact. the real significance of the
document is that it makes official ad-

He discussed the whole subject OF

points lay. and laid particular empha-

BILLIARD EXPERT IN
AN EL0PE|MENI

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 14.-Willie
Hoppe, billiard expert, was married
this afternoon to Miss Alice Walsh,
only daughter of Thomas Walsh, a
wealthy clothing manufacturer of
New York.
The first meeting Of Hoppe and
Miss Walsh is said to have been three
years ago at Atlantic City when the
young lady's life was saved by the
man she welded today. The mar
riage was the elimination of an elope-
ment, it being bitterly opposed, it is
said, by the father of the bride.
The couple came to Thu city from
New York today, accompanied by
Miss May Maxwell, an intimate friend
of Miss Walsh, and Hopes manager,
B. l.. Mank. These with the Balti'
more friends, were the only witnesses
to the ceremony.

HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE

GREAT DEMONSTRATION HELD
ENTHUSIASM OF CROWDS IN AND

OUT PARALLEL.
Girl Asked to be Allowed to Return
to Her Home in Cape Breton Will
Her Father and Her Request Wa
Granted - Widow Of Murdered
Man Receives News.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 14.-Hattie
LeBlanc's plea that she be allowed
to go back to her home in Westar-
ichat, Cape Breton, with her father,
was granted today when the jury,
after deliberating an hour and half
decided she was not guilty of the
murder of Clarence F. Glover, the
laundryman at Waltham. The YER
dict was a popular one-so popular
that the traditional decorum of a
Massachusetts court was swept aside
while meiii and women cheered,
shouted and wept for sheer joy.
The demonstration continued for
fifteen minutes and the court officials
were utterly powerless to stem the
tide of enthusiasm. The crowd in the
corridors took up the cheering of the
throng that was packed in the court
room and there came answering
cheers from company of more than

had assembled on the quadrangle in
front of the court house and in the
surrounding streets of East Cam
bridge.
Immediately after the girl had
been discharged from custody, AS
sistant District Attorney Weir en-
deavored to persuade Judge Bond to
hold Hattie as a witness to give evil
dence before the grand jury which
might warrant the indictment OF Mrs.
Lillian M. Glover, widow of the mur-
dered man, who had been accused by
the counsel for the defense of being
the real culprit in the case. Judge
Bond declined to grant the request,
saying that the evidence presented
against Mrs. Glover in the present
trial was insufficient to convict and
that If jury in his court should con-
vict on such evidence the judge would
set aside the verdict.
Last spring Mrs. Glover was ac-
quilted on the charge of being an
accessory after the fact. Mrs. Glov-
er was not in cov$ when the verdict
of the jury was returned. When IN
formed at her Waltham home of the
result she received the news coldly.
Does it surprise you?" she was
asked.
"Well, no" she replied. II can't
say that it does. This has been
very funny trial right through. Hat
tie was accused of the crime, but
in reality 1 was tried for it."

statement discussing the recent re-

Pinchot said that from the begin

would be and that "the standpat ma

jury OF WOMAN
TRIES CASE IN
OLYMPIA court

Olympia, WASH, Dec. l4.-Sitting in
the jury box without removing their
hats, five prominent Olympia women
listened all afternoon and until late
last night to testimony and arguments
of lawyers trying the case of A. Koch,
a milkman, against Fouls and Can
field, street contractors. Koch claimed
that blast set off by the contractors
caused his team to run away and do
damage to the extent of $10.O5.
Six women were called, but Mrs. F..
b. Graves, president of the Humane
society, sent physicians certificate
stating she was i'll. The court excused
her, and by stipulation the other FIVE
were selected to try the case. The
Jurors are Miss Jean Mcleod, stem
ographer to Governor M. E. Hay !;
Miss Bernice Sapp, supreme court stem
ographer: Mrs J. w. NOVEL;. wife of
a prominent physician; Mrs. Frank
Bakeslee, wife of the democratic can
didate for the legislature next Novem-
Der, and Rev. Genevra Lake, one of
the few ordained female ministers in
Washington.
With the exception of Mrs. Graves,
the court refused to excuse any of the
women called, although each offered
an excuse varying from not being a
+,xn,ver or resident of OlymDia to
the simple "just because" of woman.
After being out exactly an hour the
women returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff, awarding the full amount
of damages asked.

both houses of congress today. In

Kansas, whose opposition to the
French spoilation claims included in

passage of the measure.
