Leonard to Undertake Defense.

Maj Henry Leonard, L. S. NJ. c., at
the Portsmouth navy yard. was then
requested to act. He has accepted the
duty.
Maj. Leonard. famed one-arm hero of
the battle of Peking, China, was formerly
connected with the judge advocate gen.

of the abieSt of the officers of the Navy
and Marine Corps on cOurt-martial trials

to DR.. Robnett. and will undoubtedly so
act for him, assisted by Capt. Hirshinger
Mai. Catlin has interviewed DIR. COwies,
Medical Director Ames. in command of
the Naval Hospital at Chelsea, and whose
guest DIR. Cowles was at the hop, where
the incident occurred, and who demanded
the investigation: several officers of the
yard who were at the hop, and who wit
messed all or part of the happenings, and

hop at the time.
1t was the general official review of the
case, and to decide what witnesses
should be summoned. Paymaster Aud
and DR.. Robnett were also requested to
give a list of the witnesses they desired

While the list of witnesses required by
the defense is not known, no one at the
navy yard believes Miss Dorothy Hester

Brooms as Bric-a-Brac.
, Neu Radford STANDARD

From the New Bedford Standard
With the increased cost of living the
cleaning woman has had to be given
ticket-of-leave in many homes. With the
threatened increase in the cost of brooms,
house cleaning bids fair to go quite out of
fashion. Or perhaps the situation will be
saved by carpets disappearing entirely
and the corn broom be allowed to go by
the board. The shortage is already in
sight and the probable consequent in
crease in price by another year Is already
announced. An average of two to
family in this country looks to be the
limit by the spring overhauling. and at
dollar apiece, the prophesied price, per-
haps two apiece is all that will be want
ed. Once the normal price of broom corn
was 500 ton. Today the two factories
in Evanston, Ill. that practically control
the broom supply, are said to be paying
S240 a ton for material. Time may come
when we can only afford to gild the
handles OF the finished article, tie a bow
of ribbon about the brush and hang up
our brooms alongside the other bric-a

BOSTON, January 27-"While on shore,

complaint, which means assault as we'll as
other things, is one of the charges which
Paymaster George p Aud will face at
the court-martial at the Charlestown navy
yard next week.
Disrespect' to a superior officer is an
other accusation laid against him, be-
cause DIR. Edward S. Cowles. whom he

time, with Mrs. Cowles, the guest at the
hop by invitation of Medical Director
Howard Ames, whose relative rank is that
of captain, considerably higher than that
of Paymaster Aud. who rates only as
lieutenant.
According TO the naval code, it is said,
If Paymaster Aud, although he was
treasurer of social functions at the yard,
had any objections to any officers guests
he should have informed that officer and
not the guest, and let the officer with
draw his invitation if he desired.
The charges against both Paymaster
Aud and Past Assistant Surgeon Ansey

Identical, and for violations of naval regu-
lations regarding the conduct of officers,

Asphalt Roads In Massachusetts.

1t is the expectation of the Massa-
chusetts highway commission to ex-
tend the use Of asphalt compounds for
the coming season in its roadmaking
The general opinion of its engineers
last year as the season progressed was
that the asphalt products were more
reliable and gave better results than
the tar products; also that it appeared
that the asphalt would wear for
greater length of time. AS a result of
its experiments the commission treated

which was badly worn, by filling all
