WEEPS WHEN SENTENCED.
One-Armed Veteran Goes to Jail for
Assaulting Policeman.

Frederick w. Frosch, a one-armed vet
eran, who had served ten years in the
army, broke down and wept when SEN
fenced yesterday by Justice Barnard in
Criminal Court No. 2 to serve six months
in jail.
Frosch had pleaded guilty to assaulting
Dennis j. Cullinane, a police officer. with
a sword and infiicting flesh wound,
while the officer was attempting to arrest
him at his home, 1914 Corcoran street,
last September. The policeman was
called to the house to protect the family
when Frosch had returned home In q
drunken condition threatening injury. AZ
soon as the officer entered the house
Frosch drew the sword from the scab-
bard and rushed toward him. Cullinane
backed into the street with q drawn re-
volver in his hand, but, undaunted, Frosch
pursued him and inflicted the wound.
The officer succeeded In making him a
prisoner.
Frosch pleaded that he never was In
trouble before and said he was so drunk
he did not remember what had happened
Assistant United States Attorney Haw-
ken asked for a substantial sentence, urg-
ing that assaults upon officers discharg-
ing their duty should be severely pun
ished. Former United States Attorney
Baker for the prisoner requested proba-
ton because Of previous good record and
army service.
The court adopted a middle course be-
tween the recommendations and imposed
the jail sentence.

A National Memorial.
10 the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial entitled "A Memorial tc
the Titanic Heroes was very appropriate
and just. Any memorial should include
all the heroes, women as we'll as men
What greater heroism is there than the
firm resolve of a wife to remain and
share the fate Of her husband, when a
chance for her own life was offered?
/. The testimony Of neither passengers nor
officers singles out any one person as be-
ing especially heroic. All. with few ex-
ceptions. seem to have acted with credit
to themselves and to their country. TAX
ing to the lifeboats was evidently looked
upon by the men as more of a precau-
tonary measure than necessity. No es-
pecially heroic acts were therefore called
forth, unless it was the case of wives,
previously referred to. The writer be-
neves that the whole country would con-
slider it privilege to contribute toward
q national memorial, to be located at
Washington. This would seem far more
appropriate than an appropriation by
Congress. Contributions could be re-
ceived and forwarded by the postmasters.

DENY ADVANCE IN MEATS.
Retail Dealers Say Prices Have Not
Been Increased.

Retail meat dealers Of Washington say
there is no truth in a report that prices
OF meat have been advanced sharply
within the last few days. Wholesale
prices, they say. have made q slight ad-
vance. but no increase has been made In
the retail prices-at least, no general IN
crease. Some dealers who cater to q
class of trade that demands only the very
best cuts may have boosted prices a trifie,
the retail men say. but this applies only
to limited volume of trade.
Butter prices remain at or near last
weeks figures Concerns that make q
speciality of drives" on butter have sold
Elgin creamery as low as 81 cents this
spring. but the average price has been 80
to 45 cents according to grade Poultry
