WATER CAKE RECIPES.
Delicious CONNECTIONS Made Without
Mix or Cream.


There are many delicious kinds o.
cake that may be prepared with water
instead of milk or cream, and in the
absence of the latter such recipes ar,
very useful. Hot water sponge cakes
are a familiar example of this kind.
Recipes for black molasscs cake and
cookies apd also spice cakes rich fruit
often call for hot or cold water.
The following is a Washington ri,

layer tins after greasing them with a
little very pure fat. The housewife who
offers this recipe does not use butter
to grease her cake tins because Of the
slight salty quality in it. which she
considers detrimental 10 the delicate
quality of the cake. When the cake
is baked let ii stand I'm the tins. and
when cool split open each layer. thus
making four layers. Four layers Of this
kind will make much softer and moe
delicate cake than il they had been
baked i'm four layer tins, because there
is not so much hard crust. GFanulated
sugar may be used i'm the cake If the
powdered sugar is not at hand.
For the cream filling mix a tables

milk, just enough to dissolve it; then
add am egg and beat the whole into
half a pint of boiling milk stirring the
milk rapidly to prevent curdlirg. When
all has become a smooth custnrd, beat

TYPEWRITER MUSIC.

then look down and let their eye roam
over the keyboard till they find the
right letter, which they then punch;
and then they roam about again and

PROTESTS AGAINST OFFICERS.
Automobile Club of Maryland Com
plains of Frequent Arrests.

Special Correspondence O: The Star.
EVANSVILLE. December II. 1912.
At a meeting of the governors of the
Automobile Club Of Maryland held in
Baltimore yesterday formal protest
was lodged against the officials OF
Hyattsville on account of the frequent
arrests of drivers for violation OF the
speed ordinance of the municipality.
The governors were authorized to take
the grievances OF the automobiles to
Gov. Goldsborough and to ask for a
change of administration or policy.
With other things 1t was alleged that
drivers were stopped when going through
miles an hour, and taken before the mag
istrate, who holds court on the roadside,
and compels alleged violatOrs of the Or
dinance to leave q collateral Of $15. The
allegation was made that in some cases
the magistrate had demanded. first. the
usual So. and IL the offender did not
have this amount, the magistrate would
inquire how much, money he did have.
and II 1t was IS would take this. and If
the violator did not have s. he would be
allowed to depart.
1t was also alleged that the officers re-
sponsible for the arrest have been re-
ceiying q part Of the collateral money
that was forfeited when the accused fail
ed to appear for a hearing
1t has developed that the cashier of a
large banking institution in Washington
was recently required by Magistrate L.
o. Wissman to leave deposit Of SIS and
that he will take the matter to a higher
tribunal. This victim declares that the
magistrate before the. case was formally
called stood on the sidewalk and ex-
pressed an opinion as to the guilt of the
offender. A member of the council of
Hyattsville probably will bring this case
before the governing body Of the town

BASES DAMAGE SUIT
ON ANTITRUST LAW
Clause in Sherman Act In
voked in Case Before
U. S. Supreme Court.

The threefold damage clause of the
Sherman antitrust law is invoked in one
of the most unusual cases ever brought
before the Supreme Court of the United
States. which was argued yesterday. The
case is that of D. z. Virtue and the
Owatonna Tanning Mill Company OF
Owatonna, Mimi. and the concerns from
which damages. in the sum of $500 900,
are asked are the Creamery Package
Manufa cturing Company and the Owa-
tonna Manufacturing Company, which
companies are alleged to be in effect "a
trust within the meaning of the law.
The companies from which damages are
sough. do business in Mankato, MINI.
Mason City, Iowa; Portland and South
Whitley, Ind; Coolwater Ohio; Elgin. ILL.,,
and Lexington, Mo. The corporation is
charged with monopolizing the creamery
supplies trade the allegation being made
that the concern has driven out OF busl-
ness the company owned by Virtue.
One Other Similar Case.
Only once before has the court been
called upon to consider the section of the
grieyed competitor three fold damages for
was in the Danbury hatters case. The
present case is distinguished by COM
plicated patent question.
Attorneys for the Virtue company told
the court that in conformity with a
scheme to monopolize the churn and but
ter worker trade those seeking to es-
tablish the monopoly had offered to buy
out Virtues plant. Failing In this, II
was alleged that two suits were brought
averring infringements of patents. but In
reality designed to drive the Virtue COM
pany out of business. These suits and
threats of other suits put the Virtue COM
pany out of business. it was said.
Fraudulent Use Of Law.
Your position is that there was a
fraudulent use of rights to sue given by
the patent law" inquired Justice Holmes
of Attorney II. E. Leach, appearing for
Virtue.
YES" was the response. 1--WE con-
tend that the patent suits. legal from one
point of view. in this instance were only
part Of a scheme to monOpolize."
The defense, put in by Emanuel Cohen
for the creamery company. was that
patents in the hand Of trusts were just
as much entitled to protection by the
courts as in the hands Of any one else.

BET ON THE NAVY TEAM
Charged That Four Hundred
MiddieS Violated Orders at
Foot Ball Game.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md, December 11.-That
four hundred members of the regiment
of more than seven hundred midshipmen
wagered money on the outcome of the
annual foot ball game between West
Point and Annapolis played in Philadel-
phia November 30. in direct violation to
special orders issued by Supt Gibbons,
was developed by an investigation that
was conducted by a board of officers OF
the department of the discipline at the
Naval Academy in the last few days
The proceedings are now in the hands OF
the superintendent. and pending their
review the punishment to be inflicted
against the offenders is not known.
1t Is understood that ii will be in the
nature of restrictions, In addition to the
assignment of number of dement's.
And it is not unlikely that in cases where
the offenders hold rank as cadet officers
of the regiment the holders will be dis
rated.
It was admitted by the authorities that
the middies were not content with max
ing individual bets. but that they put
money into a pool, the very thing that
Capt Gibbons has been determined to
break up ever since he took charge of
the naval school. The amount of the
pool raised. it is stated, aggregated
s., 600, and it was wagered at even money
with the cadets of the West Point Mill
tary Academy.
