GIRL TEST|FIES
!. IN SHANKS CASE
rhirteen-year-old Marie Merritt
Tells of Engineers Conduct
Toward Her.
HELD FOR TRIAL IN JANUARY

Alexandria, va, Dec. 2-Marie Mer-
rift, the thirteen-year-old daughter Of
John Merritt, of 1913 Union Street South

The testimony of the girl was given
at a hearing before United States Com

United States Court for the Eastern Dis
trict of Virginia. Shanks was arraigned
on the charge of violating Section 279, Of
the Penal Code.
Two warrants, charging him with IN
becoming conduct with the girl, were
read Shsnks pleaded not guilty.
He was held for the action of the
grand jury. The court fixed his bail in
the sum of $5,OO0. Pending the giving
OF this bond he was committed to the
city jail.
John Merritt next said the first in
formation he obtained regarding the in
timacy of his daughter with Shanks was
when she was taken before the Juvenile
Court in Washington for incorTigibility,
for which Judge De Lacy sent her to the
Industrial Home School for a year.
The girl said she had been in the
habit of going to the pumping station
at Rosslyn, where Shanks was stationed.
She admitted that she wrote notes to
Shanks and signed her mothers name
TO them asking him for money. The
highest amount she obtained from him
was s., and this she spent in going to
moving picture shows. Other girls, she
declared, also visited him at the pump
ing station.
In addition to the Merritt girl, three
other girls, Pearl Dudley, Maggie Caurt-
right, and Lydia Ridder. were present
Their testimony, however. was not
needed. Shanks will be tried at the jan
uary term of the United States Court

Sir Claude Macdonald. who has just
retired from the post of British Ambas-
sador at Toxic. is an instance of man
who has risen to high position in the
public service by sheer good luck. For
tune never once frowned on his career.
Joining the Seventy-fourth Highlanders.

ern and fought with his regiment at
Tel-el-Kebir. also later as a volunteer
with the Black Watch at Ell Teb and
Tamai.
He then Joined Lord Corners staff as
military attache. and served his chief
so well that the latter sent him to act
as CONSUL general at Zanzibar, when
Sir Gerald Portal died in 1887. This
brought him under the notice of Lord
Salisbury, who appointed him commits
sioner of the Oil Rivers, in 1887, and Min
lister at Pekin in 1896.
Then came another large slice of luck.
Not being a diplomatic success at Pekin
Sir Claude Macdonald was transferred
to Toxic. and Sir Ernest Satow brought

The sacred standard OF tho Prophet
Mohammed is enveloped in forty cover
ings Of green taffeta, and is inclOsed in
a case of green cloth. which also contains
q Koran, written by the Caliph Omar him
self and the silver keys of the Kappa.
which Selim l received from the Sheriff
Of Mecca.
The standard is twelve feet high. and
the golden ornament IA closed hand).
which surmounts it, contains another copy
OF the Koran, written by the Caliph Omar
III, the successor of Mohammed. 1t is
kept at Constantinople.
In times OF peace this precious standard
is guarded in the hall of the ''Noble Vest
ment." Thus is styled the dress worn
by the prophet. though now in rags like
the flag itself. In the same hail in which
the tunic hangs also are preserved the
other venerated relies of the MOslCm en-
pire: the sacred teeth. the holy beard,
the sacred stirrup, the saber, and the bow
Of Mohammed. and the arms and armor
of the first Caliphs.
In war q magnificent tent is erected for
receiving the sacred standard, which is
attached by silver rings to lance Of
ebony. This custom brings TO recollection
the Eagle Of the Roman LegiOns. as re-
lated by Dionysius Cassius. At the enH
of every campaign the sacred standard
10 replaced with great solemnity in a
richly -ornamented chest
Down to the present epoch this stand
ard always has been a real talisman to
the Turks, and has served to rally the
defenders of Islamism and to Intiame their
courage in battle against the Christians.
This sacred banner, however Is never
displayed except in time of war as a last

There We're several noteworthy inn
