What One Sparrow Did.

What is perhaps the most remark
able accIuenJ mat ever occurred was
reported last month from Germany,
according to Leslie's Magazine. A
large touring car was travelling at fair
speed along a boulevard lined with
trees. Large fiocks of sparrows were
in the trees, and several boys were
taking chances of being arrested by
the police by shooting at the birds
with sling shots. One pebble particu-
larly well aimed struck sparrow on
the upper wing and sent him gliding
through the air directly toward the
driver of the car. The bird struck him
full in the face, and in the next In
stant things began to happen. The
driver clutched at his eyes, the car
lurched into the ditch, knocked down
a telegraph pole, vaulted to a plowed
field on the other side of the ditch
and went full force into huge hay
stack. Despite this wild swerye no
one was even scratched except the
driver, whose eyesight was damaged
by the claws of the sparrow. The
whole incident had taken far less time
than needed to relate 1t.

90 YEARS in FEDERAL PENITENTI.
AIRY MAXIMUM PENALTY.
MOTIVE IS A CRUCIAL TEST
Judge, in Instruction to Jury, Says In,

Paramount Consideration to OBJ
serve in Framing Verdict.

San Francisco.--In clipping with Mar
sha Warrington from Sacramento, Cal
to Reno, New, Maury l. Diggs, former
state architect Of California, was guilty
of violating the Mann act, which makes
it felony to transport women for inn
moral purposes from one state to an
ther. This was the verdict of the jury
that tried him. Five years in the fed
eral penitentiary is the maximum pen
atty.
There were six counts In the indict-
Inent and the jury found verdict OF
guilty on the first four. Each count
carries maximum penalty of five years
and minimum of one year in federal
penitentiary.
After being out three hours and five
minutes, the jury returned to ask tha
court what form the verdict SHOULD take
if they were agreed on some of the
counts in the indictment and not ON the
Others.
Judge Van Fleet instructed them ia
make their findings on those counts as
to which they were agreed. A verdict
of guilty on any one count, he said
would be a verdict of guilty of violating
the statute, and would carry the peiI.
atty imposed by the statute.
Diggs, his wife, father, mother and
three aunts, Mrs. Drew Caminetti and
Mrs. Anthony Camihetti, were in court,
waiting for the verdict. Diggs was pale
and his wife showed the tension she wa:
under by the twitching of her lips and
the lessened bloom of her rich color.
The questions of the foreman clearly
foreshadowed the coming verdict an(

the final shock. There was no demon

blow fell.

Washington, d. Can attack
on DR.. William Bayard Hale, confiden-
tial investigator in Mexico for Presi-
dent Wilson, was the means used by
Senator Penrose for criticism of the
administrations stand on Mexican ar
fairs.
Penrose read newspaper account
OF the alleged peril of the son-in-law
of Lieut.. Gov. Reynolds of his state
at the hands of federals near Chi
huahua. He followed with resolu-
t1on asking the president for informa-
ton as to DR., Hale's official position
in Mexico City.
The Pennsylvania senator declared
that Hale was "a most dangerous ad-
wiser for the president and that he
had left Philadelphia some years ago
under circumstances which / need
merely mention here" A letter from
a Mexican business man to Felix
Diaz, attacking Hale as disturber,
who was prejudicing the president
against Huerta was read at Penrose's
request.
Referred to Committee.
He then offered a second resolution
calling for all reports made to the
state department this year by the
American consul at Durango.
Both resolutions were referred to
the foreign relations committee at the
motion of Chairman Bacon.
"The state department is doing
everything which can be done, short
OF force" declared Bacon. Force
means war, and that is very serious
thing"
At this point Senator Poindexter Of
fered resolution asking the presi-
dent to tell the senate what steps,
diplomatic or otherwise, had been
taken to protect Americans in Mex
leo.
He said he considered that the pres
ent steps taken by the president in
Mexico were dictated by a patriotic
purpose, but he wanted the senate
taken frankly into the confidence OF
the administration on this subject
Senator Lodge protested that the
Mexican situation was too serious for
mere party action.

avoid war as you are" he declared.
You cannot dismiss the questions

Senator Bacon denied that in the
Mexican matter the Democrats had
drawn party lines and said that the
Republicans had as generously upheld
the president in the foreign affairs
committee as had the majority. Poin-
