DESTROYER RAMS
NOSE INTO DOCK
Naval Craft Shows Ability to
Cut a Wide Swath.

Newport Aug. N.-The destroyer
Monaghan, a new addition to the navy
is showing two holes in her port bow
and a number of bent steel plates to-
day as a result of the vessel running
into the dock at the torpedo station Sat
urday while coming in from sea.
The destroyer smashed through the
dock for fifteen feet and continued until
she stuck her nose into the bank Of dirt
for thirty feet more.
A board Of inquiry win investigate the
occurrence.
Why the long war craft came into
the wharf at such speed is a mystery.
Reports are heard tonight that the re-
yersing gear in the engine room refused
to work at the critical moment. An
other report says the signal was tele-
graphed wrong from the bridge. Neither
report can be verified.
When the powerful engines were set
to backing the Monaghan would not
move The sister destroyer, Ammen.
was called into play with the naval
tugs, and other craft were soon pull
ing away at the stern, but still the de-
stroyer did not move.
Finally some one hit on the plan Of
fire department of the station, whose
men poured tons of water into the hole
in the earth the destroyer was held by.
With these powerful streams, the earth
was washed away, the engines Of the
Monaghan backed full powfr with the
other craft, and the big destroyer was
liberated after a half hours work. Me-
chanics from the torpedo station were
then ordered aboard quickly to make
temporary repairs and cover the holes
about the port side Of the destroyer's
bow.
The destroyer. as she swung majestic
ally into her slip, was going at about
twenty knots, 1t Is reported, and her
bow cut away the dock like a knife.
Before the signal to reverse quickly
could be telegraphed from the bridge,
her nose was in the dirt bank.
The strength OF the vessel was fully
determined and tells what her ramming
qualities could be depended upon to be

OPIUM DEN LEADS
TO LAKE TRAGEDY
Man Who Threw Girl Over
board Relates Sad Tale.

Holland, Mich. Aug. 27.-Threatening
portunity, Walter Hopper. of Chicago,
who was arrested last night on the
steamer Puritan. for the murder of Daisy
Watt, alias Grace Lyon, of Grand
Rapids, by throwing her overheard in
midlake. was taken to the county jail
at Grand Haven to-day TO await the
arrival of the Federal authorities, who
will take charge Of the prisoner.
The tragedy enacted in midlake last
Saturday afternoon is a story of a tragic
end of a misspent life in the under
world of Chicago. 1t is a story of a
woman rescued from a Chinese dive in
Halstead street and sent to a watery
grave when she showed an inclination to
return to ker former life.
Hopper said to-day he met the girl in
Chicago three years ago. At that time
she occupied fashionable apartments in
State street. He fell in love with the
woman. but she would have nothing of
him. For over a year she was lost to
him. and six months ago, when in a
Chinese dive in Halstead street, he ran
across his sweetheart of a year before
She had taken up her life in the under
world.
Il persuaded her to leave the place, 8"
said Hopper. 'and rented rooms in Tan
street. where l supported her for five
months. Last Sunday she disappeared
from her home. and l traced her to a
resort in lower Halstead street, where
found her smoking opium with ten
Cinnamon. l took her TO my home again.

She refused and We quarreled, and Sat-
urday she packed up her belongings and
started for Grand Rapids to visit a sis
ter. l followed her to the boat and hid
till we were in midlake. / then ap-
preached her and she refused to rec
ognize me. And as she was standing by
the gangway in the saloon. l rushed up
behind her, seized her around the legs
and body, and sent her plunging into
the lake. l attempted to follow her.
but was prevented by attaches OF the
boat.
And I'm glad I did it, said Hopper"
for I know where she is now. She is
out OF the reach of those Chinese who
brought her ruin upon her.

of twenty-five women and children. and
the injuring of nearly sixty more, in
Canonsburg. Pa, Saturday night. when
a moving picture film exploded and a
panic followed. Fire Chief Richard Wag-
ner, when interviewed last night, said
that no such calamity was possible in
theaters of Washington, because Of the
stringent fire regulations and the care

I'm the first place there are no seats

BRITISH WIFE OF
ARTIST is LOYAL
Will Not Come to America to
Testify Against Him.

London, Aug. N.-In her home at
Shepherdsbush. this city. to-day, Mrs.
Sarah Jane Trumbull-Smith wife Of the
artist, who recently went through a
marriage ceremony with Miss Kate
Dreir. of Brooklyn. declared she did not
believe her husband had committed
bigamy.
II don't believe Edward married Miss
Dreir," said she to your correspondent.
How could he have married her? Why
his mother knew very well that he and
l are married. She was here when my
baby was born two months ago. She
stayed with us during the coronation"
Still believing in the innocence of her
husband, the wife gave every evidence
that in her present frame of mind she
will be unwilling to go to America and
testify against him in case he is brought
to trial for bigamy. 1t seems certain
that she will not do so at her own ex-
pense. Possibly when she Is thoroughly
convinced Of the guilt OF her husband
she may be persuaded to make the voy-
age.
Mrs. Kate Dreir-Trumbull, according
to the best information, has not arrived
in London as yet. II she is here, she
has not called upon the first wife of her
artist husband.

5UFFRAG|sTs TO
ENTER POLITICS
IN PHILADELPHIA
Object Is to Defeat, Not Elect,
Candidates.
PLAN TO DEMAND RIGHTS

Philadelphia, Aug. IA new political
party, the object of which will be 10
defeat instead Of elect candidates for
public offices, will be formed in Phila-
delphia by prominent suffragette leaders,
among whom are included Mrs. Mary C.
Morgan, of the Pennsylvania State
Suffrage Associate Miss Alice Paul, of
New Jersey, and Miss Beatrice Brown
and Miss Olga Gross, Of Philadelphia
These women will be the prime movers
IN the new party, and a convention OF
suffragists will be held in Philadelphia
within a month, when the new scheme
for furtherinr the cause will be dis
eussed.
In speaking Of the movement Mrs.
Morgan said:
Il was asked to come to Philadelphia
and look the ground over. AS result
hands of the women of Pennsylvania
and other States that care to avail them
selves of the opportunity.
This party will be used to defeat, not
elect. The members will work to drive
out Of Office and to keep out of Office all
candidates who oppose woman suffrage
am satisfied that We can make a win
ming fight"
Miss Paul was asked whether or not
the new party would take any hand in
the political campaign now on in Phila-
delphia, to which she replied:
We are not particularly interested ir
who shall be the next mayor of Phila-
delphia, whether he be Earle. Ware, Glib,
boney, or Blankenburg. If Senator Pen
rose were up for reelection, we might
take a silent hand and use our strength

not help us at Washington.
Just as soon as the lawmakers can be
shown that the people want US to vote
we will be given our rights"

and concrete. If the machine or film
exploded, as in the case Of the Canons-
burg disaster, the flames could not reach
beyond the booth, and the operator would
be the only sufferer.
Another reason why Washington NOV
ing picture patrons are protected is be-
cause Of the District regulation requir-
ing every operator to have a license,
showing him 10 be competent and care
full. The license is displayed in a prom
inent place, and the moment our in
spectors fail to find one. the place is
closed down until the necessary paper
is secured"
Chief Wagner said that he and the
inspectors examine such theaters almost
daily, and added that the regulations
are carried out to the letter.
I'VE watch the theaters constantly"
said Chief Wagner. ''and I have given
deflnate instructions that any violations
OF the fire regulations will be followed
by the closing of the place. The aisles
and exits are to be kept open at all
times, and OF the numerous theaters in
Washington I am safe to say not one
could become flre-trap under existing
circumstances"

MIR. UNDERwooD's CRITICISM.
| Says Taft by His Vetoes Denies
Congress Prerogative to Rule.

congress FrerOgat1ye To Hule.
From the New York Evening Post
Representative Underwood makes a
telling attack upon President Taft in
criticising his vetoes Of the tariff bills.
1t is undeniably a curious state Of af-
fairs when the President insists that
Congress shall not legislate until II
shall have received information culled
by clerks and officials appointed by the
President. Mr.. Underwood declares that
never before has any one denied to
Congress that competency to legislate
which it's very being confers upon It.
And he points out that when It comes to
legislation the President himself Is not
above criticism, for Congress rejected
the bill for the regulation of the rail-
roads which he sent to the last Repub-
iican Congress and passed a much bet
ter bill protecting the rights of the
people on important principles that were
ignored in the Presidential BILL"
OF course, Mr.. Underwood would stand
on frmer ground II the President had
not been able to point out many evi-
dences of haste and lack Of care in the
drawing Of some OF the tariff bills. But
none the less, the President has laid
himself open to vigorous and just at
tack for denying some measure Of re-
lief to the ill-treated people OF this coun-
try, and all the stump-speaking he 10 to
indulge In on his coming tour will

Mrs. Smith was nervous for days be-

vehemently that she was not frightened.
For a long while after the journey was
begun she kept her eyes closed and stop
ped up her ears with her fingers. to keep

and the sound Of the engines roar, but
later she became somewhat bolder and
gazed out of the window, sticking her
head out at every stop to watch the
