Inns, the ffteea-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Florence Rollins, of 613 East Cap

Of the footlights to run away from
home, was brought into police head
quarters late last right by Detective
Baur and delivered over to her parent
and little sister, Bessie, who were. wait
ing for her.
From all accounts the girl was glad to
get home, but her ambitions to become
second Tetrazzini were somewhat
dampened.
When she went down to Durham to join
the Lakeside Casino Company as star,
at the instigation OF Harry White, book
ing agent, she found that all she had to
do was to draw SIS a week for posing As
an Egyptian slave IN a musical COMEDY,
which had no ends OF plots.
Feasted on Ice Cream.
While Gertrude was standing in the
front of the footlights some one whispered
to her from behind the scenes that po-
lIceman, was waiting for her. They were
last night, "and let me stay on until
everything was over. And then they fed
me on ice cream. Say, that's the best
place you ever saw
When Mrs. Rollins demonstrated with
her about her professional ambitions, Ger
trude grew defiant, and said that as soon
as she was eighteen years old she would
be a real prima donna.
But, for the present, she has to appear
against Harry White, the theatrical
agent, who is now under bond, charged
with violating the child labor law. His
case will come up before the Juvenile
Court within few days. Miss Rollins
said last night that she did not know
Ethel Deans, the sixteen-year-old WASH
ington girl, who ran away a week ago to
join the same theatrical troupe.
When seen last night, Mrs. Rollins had
her young daughter. by the hand and
was making for the shortest way home.

Personally, I believe in exactIng the

did we collect back duties, of which the
government had been defrauded, but we
got $1S7,0o0 extra fines"
In regard to the testimony of Mr. Wise
that the man higher up was President

Against Her Husband Fine Points of
the Law Involved

the Constitution of the United States
requiring the several States to give full
force and credit to the judgments and
decree Of the sister States, the decree OF
the court of Virginia was binding on the
District Of Columbia.
The act Of the local court as given
yesterday leaves the Virginia decree in
full force and effect as a binding and
valid decree of divorce.
After the case was settled. Mr.. Cave
decided to Mrs. Cave for her unmarried
life his home in Massachusetts, avenue
and made provision for the support OF
herself and child
The case has been of interest to the
public from the prominence of the par
ties concerned, and of absorbing interest
to the legal profession by reason of the
many novel and unique points involved.
1t is practically without a precedent in
the courts of the District and in some
of its points in any court in the United
States.
In the several suits through which the
case has passed Mr.. Cave has been rep
resented by Henry E. Davis, J. S. Easily

by Samuel G Brent.

PROSE AND POETRY
MARK WOOL DEBATE
Speakers Display Diversified
Talent on Floor.

Poetry and statistics were mingled in
yesterdays general debate in the House
on the Underwood wool revision bill.
Representative Reilly, a Connecticut
Democrat, furnished the poetry, and Rep
resentative Redfeld, Of Brooklyn, the
statistics. Mr.. Redfield who is serving
his first term, is manufacturer OF
machinery and for many years has been
connected with the export trade in that
line Of business He was heard with
the closest attention by a fair-sized
audience. and his speech is conceded
to have been an able performance. He
told his colleagues that American labor
was the cheapest in the world, and that
the American laboring man did not want
&c be protected, but, as a matter Of
fact, was anxious to be released from
The mere price paid to labor is no in
dication Of its real cost, Mr.. Redfield
insisted.
Mr.. Reilly's principal contribution to
Posterity was a poem based upon that
ancient schoolroom classic, 'Woodman.
Spare that Tree Mr.. Reilly's effusion,
however, was entitled, Statesman, Spare
that X and tripped along as follows:
Statesman. spare my schedule.
Touch not a single line;
For years II has protected me,
Looked after and mine.
Twas dear Sereno's hand
That made it our way
So let il. statesman. stand
My dear Schedule K.
That old high tariff bunk.
It's wide protecting wings
Cover wool and shoddy
And tariff -armored things.
Statesman, fOrbear thy az
Cut not its tnIst-bOund ties;
Oh spare my woolen tax
Now towering to the skies.
o. sked. thou god Of wool.
From now till Judgment day,
Well fight. we'n throw the bull,
Ny sweetheart, Schedule X.
1t is not of record that Mr.. Reilly's
effusion will change any votes when the
wool bill comes up for passage. but it
seemed to please the House considerably.
Representative Mondell, of Wyoming,
was the only other speaker of the day.
He delivered a strong speech in criticism
of the Underwood bill, and predicted dire
things should the reductions contemplated
be enacted into law
