to prevent it"
He had stepped into the hall, picked
up my hat and told TOmpkins wouldn't
be back for several hours, before I fully
realized what it meant.
The next moment 1 found myself sit
ting in the rear seat of the big car with
a young woman on either side of me.
One was( a cousin of Hardin, and 1 had
never seen before, and did not catch
her name when I was introduced. They
called her Beth and she seemed a
great favorite with the party.
Hardin's wife sat in the seat in front,
with her nephew. a boy of II, beside
her, and Hardin drove the car. Beside
him sat my boyhood friend, Druce Hol-
land
The change from my lonely porch to
this gay crowd was made so suddenly
that it took me some time to get hold
or myself l leaned back in the car,
listening with quiet amusement to the
gay bantering of those around me. I
grew particularly interested in the one
they called Reth, and who sat on my
right
She was so quick N her replies, her
wit was so ready and sharp, that,
though the whole crowd leveled all their
DISCRIMINATION at her, they never at
any time got the better of her.
She had never been in a large city
before, learned. and was so unused to
city sights and city noises that Hardin's
suggestion that she needed binders
seemed to greatly amuse the crowd.
An Interesting Girl
where is your home?' l managed to
ask her at last. but her reply was lost
IN a laugh from the crowd over some
witticiSm of Hollands.
She was about 80. 1 guessed. and cry
small, with very dark eyes and hair.
My elmI SIS of her were game. when
the car passed under an electric light.
for we had long since left the brightly
lighted street and were on a country
road.
She had a very pleasant voice. a
merry laugh, and a certain mannerism
that impressed me. Somehow, 1 knew
on such a brief acquaintance that she
was self-reliant. asked no odds of any
one, and was shrewd. a shrewdness that
perhaps was born of a painful expert
ence.
When they dropped me at my front
door two hours later it was with the
threat Cor would promise" be better?)

1t was an agreeable change. but my
mind soon drifted back to the old chan
mel and as l walked into the house l
wondered why Miss Lee was so long in
writing.

LL"HE Star-Spangled Banner is our
national song and is a beautiful
- piece with the following words:

LL"HE Star-Spangled Banner Is our
national song and is beautiful
piece with the following words:
"Oh-oh, say, can you see, by the
dawn's early light, tum- tum-tum, tum-
tum -tum, tum- tum -tum, tum-tum tum,
tum," etc.
Some people use words in place Of
the "tums, but this Is not customary
and is regarded as an offensive display
of knowledge.
''The Star-Spangled Banner" was writ
ten by Francis Scott Key, a Baltimore
lawyer who WIS a prisoner on board a
British war vessel during the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry in 1914 When
the morning came and Mr.. Key dis
covered that the American flag was still
there he seized an envelope and wrote
on its back the sublime words which,
we are told, make up the poem. These
were afterwards set to music by one of
our earliest aviators who reached an al
titude of high X above c in the closing
bar of the song.
"The Star-Spangled Banner" became
instantly popular and has always awak-
ened the greatest enthusiasm. 1t Is a
splendid piece to listen to when it Is
played by a band but when sung the
effect is marred by the crashing of mas
euline voices which have blown out a
cylinder head on the high notes. The
song has encouraged patriotism in Amer
lea but is undoubtedly accountable for
our backwardness in music. After the
average American citizen has splintered
his vocal eqU;I 'snt on the land of the
free" a few hE,s he becomes discour-
aged and declines to Caruso any more.
However, The Star-Spangled Banner"
is our greatest national song and should
be sung on all official occasions. a. the
government will appoint offi.lal tenors
to take the high note either at an annual
salary or by piece w29k all trouble viii

OF WOMAN,
WHO SHOT HIMSELF,
LIKELY TO RECOVER
James L. Fornshell Refuses
I to Explain Shooting of
Viola Stockwell.

In the Emergency Hospital today
James L. Fornshell, who shot and killed
Viola Stockwell, is reported by the phy-
sicians to be on the road to recovery
from selfNnhlcted bullet wound in the
jaw. To the police and doctors as we'll
as a brother who called to see him this
morning, Fornshell declined to make
any statement about the affair.
The shooting took place about Z
O'Clock last night in the front room on
the second floor of the house at 1920 G
street northwest. The woman was shot
twice. One bullet passed through her
left wrist, and the other went through
her heart Fornshell then apparently
put the revolver in his mouth and pulled
the trigger. The bullet fractured the
jawbone and came out the left side of
his neck. One other shot was fired, but
II went wild. D..
Other persons in the house were on
the first floor at the time. The police
OF the First precinct were notified, and
the reserves, headed by Sergeant Cats,
hurried to the house. The door to the
room was locked, and the police had TO
break in.
Dies Before Ambulance Comes.
Both victims were lying on the floor,
the woman with her head toward the
window and the mans head toward the
door. The woman was unconscious and
died before the arrival of the ambulance
from the Emergency Hospital Form
shell did not lose consciousness.
Fornshell is forty years old and a
bartender. He has been in Washing
ton several years and has worked in
number of saloons. dis home is at
931 c street southwest. where he lives
with his sister. The StockwelI woman
was thirty-siX years old and had been
in Washington about ten years. Her
home Is said to have been in Camden,
N. J. She and Stockwell had been
friends for about six years.
Stockwell was charged with the kill
ing and a policeman placed on guard
at his bedside. Coroner Nevitt will
hold an inquest over the woman's body
as soon as the bartender has recovered
sufficiently to be present at the hear
ing.
A violent quarrel Is thought to have
preceded the shooting. The fact that
the woman was shot through the wrist,
the police believe, indicates that she
fought for her life

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
IN CAUCUS TODAY ON
FREE SUGAR PLAN
Prediction Confidently Made
That the Tariff WILDE
Removed.

With free sugar" leading all other
plans suggested, the Democrats of the
House Will caucus late today on a bill
revising the sugar schedule of the
Payne tarin law. The Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee have agreed
on sugar bill, but 1t is being held in
strict secrecy unth o'clock this after
noon, when the caucus, which will last
Tor several hours perhaps, will convene
notwithstanding the calm-like attitude
of the members of the Ways and Means
Committee. however, the "free sugar.
Democrats In the House are in conf
dent frame of mind today, while the
members from the sugar producing
States such as Louisiana, Colorado. and
Michigan, are uneasy.
1t Is reliably reported that the pro-
posed revision will take all duty off of
sugar, and that the loss in revenue will
be equaled by higher taxes on rubber,
silks, and laces.
Hardwick Sees Victory.
Although not a member of the wavs
and Means Committee, Congressman
liardwick of Georgia evolved the idea
Of free sugar and higher silk stock
lngs and he expressed confidence to-
caucus will declare for free sugar, as
did not.
Such a prospect brings gloom to Con-
Eressmen Broussard, Estopinal, Wick
line, and other members Of the Louis
lana delegation in particular. The sugar
producers in Louisiana and In several
other cane and beet sugar States, as to
tnal, VIII howl loudly when the free
sugar propaganda is made public.
Congressman Broussard is rather in
ngnant today that the members of the
Ways and Means Committee have taken
an oath OF secrecy not, to reveal the
nature of the sugar schedule in advance
OF the caucus. Mr.. Broussard uttemnted
to learn from Mr.. Underwood what
sugar revision plans mad been agreed
upon In the Ways and Means Commit
tee room. Evidently the reply wasn't
satisfactory.
Scores Methods.
THE secret caucus, the blind mans
buff method, and the dark room opera
,tions will not answer in matters af-
fecting the public welfare" said Mr..
Broussard, who wants to know what's
what in the sugar lines. "If a man is
doing the right thing he should invite
criticism. This is legislation by caucus
with every member blindfolded The
people have a right to know what is
Eto""s IT," on here and l shall not stand for
Lively times are in store if the Ways
and Means Committee brings in a free
sugar bill, as expected, when the cau-
Gus meets late today. Members from
the so-called sugar producing States
want something that closely approach
es protection for their home products
and they declare that the American
sugar producer cannot exist under a
duty-free sugar revision. '' r
II sugar goes on the free list it
means a loss of $50, 100000 in revenue.
