that he go to the cigar store.

SENATOR LA TOILETTE MUM.
Has Made No Speeches Since Open.
ing of Present Session.

There is geneSal comment around the
Capitol on the fact that Senator La Fol-
lette has not made a speech or even COM
ment on any legislation in the Senate
during the present session of Congress.
Fighting Bob OF Wisconsin has, in
practically every former session, been
prominent in debates. and he has come to
be cons dered one OF the most persist n:
and long winded speakers of the upper
house of Congress. On many occasions
he has occupied the floor for two and
three days at stretch. and on more
than one occasion his oratory has been
utilized to prevent the passage of some
measure to which he could not give his
assent.
But not q peep from him at this s.
sion outside of the formal presentation
of bills, petit ons and reports OF commit
tees. With only three more weeks of this
session rema ming there is some wonder
ELS to what the result on legislation would
be if he should now start to make up
for lost time and deliver two Or three of
his marathon addresses. There has. how
ever. been no ntmation from Senator La
Toilette that he has any such Intention.
and his silence is generally credited to be
due to his fight for reelection by the
Wisconsin legisla. and 10 tn start of
the La Toilette boom for President.

Schooner Nearly a Month From
Newuort News to VINEYARD Haven,

The schooner Sullivan Saw:n, which left
Newport News for Wicasset. Me-. Janu-
airy IL, and of which no d.ngs had been
had since she left the Virginia port,
arrived at Vineyard Haven Thursday,
nearly a month since she left the capes
Of the Chesapeake. AS the vessel has
still over 20 miles to go before she
reaches her destination she will probably
hold the record for the long distance be-
tween Newport News and the Maine
port, a trip that is often made inside a
week Capt. Lowrey states that from
the time he left the Virginia capes until
he anchored at Vineyard Haven the YES
sci encountered nothing but head winds.
and that often she did not gain a mile
in twenty-four hours. The misfortunes
OF the overdue schooner followed her into
Vineyard sound. AS she lay at ancnor

was but little damaged by the collision.

In the circuit court at Upper Marlboro
Yesterday Assoc ate Justice Fillmore
Beall of the seventh judicial circuit of
Maryland handed down an opinion in the
case of ]. Frank Rushe and William A.

ent mayor and common council seeking to
enjoin the latter from purchasing a piece
of ground on Johnson avenue from DIR.

a loan with the Hyattsville Building As
ISOLATION for the purpose Of raising money
with which to erect municipal building
on said lot for town and fire department
purposes. The court denies the applica-
on for injunction. and unlo SIS an appeal
is taken Hyattsville will have a modern
municipal building within the next three
or four months. Mayor William P. Ma
gruder and two members of the council
wanted the building erected on a lot on
Maryland avenue belonging to Mayor
Magruder, and under the direction of the
local volunteer fire department. and upon
J S completion it was to be turned over to
the municipality. Four members of the
council. or a majority, took another view
of the situation. and wanted the town to
erect the building on the Willis lot on
Johnson avenue. These members ac-
corGinsiy passed two ordinances to pur-
ci.ase the lot and erect the building. and
the result was that Messrs. Rushe and

ordinances becoming effective.

One Might Live.

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE
body of a woman who had been dead
four days, evidently Of starvation. and
"a four-yearold girl. still alive. but
terribly emaciated. were found last
night by the police Of the Morrisania
station in first floor fiat at 463 East
15Sth street. The child's feet had been
frozen and must be amputated.
The police and the doctors of Leb-
anon Hospital regard it as almost a
miracle that the child should have
lived Their theory is that the woman
denied herself in order to feed the
child.
The woman, known to the other ten
ants as Mrs. Frederick Vollmer. was
said to be the wife of truckman en-
ployed by the Walter Beam Trucking
Company Of 3s1 Lafayette street. He
had not been living with her.
Neighbors Called Police.
The child was one she had taken to
board She is said to be the daughter
of Mrs. Vollmers brother, William
Welsh, who was taken to Lebanon
Hospital two weeks ago suffering from
consumption. The mother. the police
say, is employed in a department store
and has been in the habit Of visiting
the girl on Mondays.
Some Of the other tenants had missed
MS. vollmer since Tuesday and yester-
day they told the police. Patrolman
Burns and Stack forced their way into
the apartment. The dead woman was
lying on q couch in the kitchen and the
child was sitting at her side. The girl
pointed feebly to the dead woman and
then held up its arms to be taken away
Apparently she had not had morsel to
eat since Tuesday. Neighbors took charge
of her until ar ambulance came from
Lebanon Hospital. They knew the child
simply as Frances.

and at the hospital the surgeons decided
that amputation was necessary.
Neighbo-s saw Mrs. Vollmer last on
Monday. On Tuesday morning. they say,
a milkman called and was paid by Mrs.
Vollmer. Since then the woman had not
been seen. Repeated knoclings at her
door brought no response.
The police last night started a search
for the womans husband. They tried.
also. to communicate with two sisters
and a brother of Mrs. Vollmer, who We're
said to be living in Mount Vernon.
