Borrowed Book Makes Trouble.

A borrowed book not returned forms
the basis of libel action which will
shortly come before the Bavarian
courts at Bamberg. A professor lent
the Socialist poet. Heinrich Heine's.
poems to a friend. but, as the book had
not been returned at the end of eight
weeks, despite frequent warnings, the
professor sent him a postcard on
which was pasted the following cut
ting from a newspaper: THE German
buys no books. He borrows them and
never gives them back" The borrow
,er felt himself libeled, and, though he
has not yet returned the volume, in
stituted proceedings. It appears that
the borrower lent the volume to a
lady, who in turn lent 1t to some one
else.

FROM OAK HILL CEMETERY
Rare Views May Be Had Of Potential
Beauty as Well as Actual
Ugllness.

the tip of the high spur near the
broken shaft above the grave of Nal.
Gen. Jesse Lee Reno, who was killed
at the battle of South Mountain.
Around you is close array Of tombs,
among them being the grave OF the
twin sons of Baron Boilleau, the Godoy
and Cartwright monuments and the
Willard and Matthew tombs. The oaks
rise high above you and 1t is easy to
believe that their bare branches,
whipped and swayed by the winter
wind, are singing sadly. There is
good deal of green turf even at this
season. and on many Of the graves
are wreaths and crosses Of holly and
laurel, telling of recent visits even at
old tombs.
! Southeast, east and north one looks
down the terraced slopes, which are
thickly studded with white and gray
monuments under which sleep 30
many Of those that once were dwell
ers here. Among the brown, bare
oaks an occasional cedar or holly tree
gives a touch of kindly green to the
otherwise dreary outlook.
Lower Rock Creek In its actual ug-
liness and it's potential beauty lies far
below. You see red and yellow clay
banks, where the earth e1caVated

are prominent. The new city is
stretching out from the east toward
the edge of the valley and in places
has grown to the very edge. New
houses, mostly gray and yellow, some
of them with red tops, are reaching
toward the valley along the line of
Massachusetts avenue. The whole
scene shows the scars Of many city
dumps.
When this part of Rock Creek val
lev shall have been parked the vista
from the vantage point in the solemn
tomb city Of Oak Hill will be one OF
the most impressive in the world.

GRAF TING Of POLICE
IS CORROBORATED
BY WOMAN
VETERAN KEEPER OF DISORDER
LY HOUSES IN NEW YORK
DiVULGES SECRETS.

New York, March 1O.~-A book ol
graft history covering period of sc
years was opened for District Attor-
ney Whitman today by Rosie Hertz, a
wealthy and notorious keeper of dis
orderly resorts in this city. This
woman, sentenced last week to one
years Imprisonment for running a
house for immoral purposes, made a
complete confession.
She disappointed the System" "
which had hoped she would serve her
time without telling what she knew,
and paved the way, it is said, for
prosecution not only of several high
police officials, but for large num-
Der of politicians alleged to be allied
with the System"
Many subpoenas were issued as
soon as the women completed her dis
closures, and Mr. Whitman will be
busy for the next few days examining
witnesses who are expected to COR
roborate her story.
Mrs. Hertz and other witnesses will
testify before the grand jury. Ac-
cording to the district attorney, their
stories will be supplemented by evil
dence in the form of checks and ac-
count books which the women pre-
served. Mrs. Hertz's business as the
proprietreSs of a string Of resorts was
conducted Systematically, making it
possible now for documentary proof of
the graft she has paid for protection
to be available, it is declared.
Among many names mentioned by
the Hertz woman was that of Jack
Sullivan, king of the neWsboys," who
awaits trial under the same indict-
ment for murder brought against for
mer Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
and the four gunner in the Rosen-
thai case. The woman alleged she
paid Sullivan $4,000 in graft in a
period covering several years. She
produced a letter which she said was
written by Sullivan from the Tombs
recently, warning her not to "squeal.'
James Wrenn, once a policeman,
also is said to have confessed today
He was taken before the grand jury
where. he repeated the story he told
District Attorney Whitman. Wrenn
now is a proprietor of hotel
For nine years before his retire
nent from the police force, he coll
lected graft money, Mr.. Whitman
says Wrenn told him, and for more
that half this time he exacted $2,50C
as monthly tribute in one inspection
district. He mentioned three former
police inspectors who are now cap
tains and under suspicion. One ol
them, Mr.. Whitman says, is Dennis
Sweeney, awaiting trial on charge
of bribery

Washington, March 10.-While
President Wilson already has dis
pensed with some of the formalities
which hitherto have been observed by
occupants of the White House, he
demonstrated today that he would OBJ
serve to the letter the international
amenities of his office.
Probably the most formal ceremony
in which Mr.. Wilson ever has partici-
pated was his presentation to the dip
lomatic corps accredited to Washing
ton by the civilized nations of the
globe. In a semi circle of brilliant
color, their uniforms adorned with the
insignia of their rank, 146 foreign
representatives stood in impressive
silence while the new president of the
United States and the new secretary
of state entered through the big doors
of the east room. The president and
Secretary Bryan wore the convention
al frock suits of formal occasions in
America. The president was accom-
panied by his personal aide, Colonel
Spencer Crosby, and his naval aide,
Major Thomas J. Rhoades, both of
them in the full dress uniform of the

SUFFRAGETTES TRY TO THROW
PETITIONS At KING AND
LAND IN PRISON.
VIOLENCE IS THREATENED
Howling Crowd Follows Prisoners to
Jaii-vaults Under the Parliament
Buildings Are Searched for Women
Instead Of Dynamite-king Edward
Ignores Suffrage in Speech.

London, March 10.--Fears lest the
militant suffragettes might annoy
King George and Queen Mary and cre-
ate a disturbance, made the royal
opening Of parliament today and the
procession thereto from the palace an
occasion charged with nervousness
Nor were such anticipations ground
less
Five women attempted to break
through the Gordon of troops while the
royal procession was traverslng St
James park with the intention OF
throwing petitions into the state coach
They carried the petitions in rolls, tied
with the suffragette colors, and
brandished them enthusiastically. 1t
is doubtful, however, whether the king
and queen saw the performance. The
police pounced upon the women quick
ly before they could get through the
line of soldiers and led them to Jail,
an enormous jeering crowd following
in their wake.
In their petition to his majesty, the
suffragettes declare that law and or
der could not be re- established in the
realm until women had been given the
vote.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, address
ing a large meeting of militant suf-
fragettes tonight, said it was not the
intention of the women to insult the
king, but that they intended to use
their constitutional right of petition
ing his majesty.
There was a notable demonstration
of hostility against the suffragists by
the vast throng gathered to see the
royal procession. The five women
required the protection of q hundred
policemen to keep back the mob,
which was exasperated by the recent
soutrages of the militants.
Two other suffragettes were ar
rested in the. vicinity of Marlborough
house and escaped rough handling only
through the energetic efforts of the
police. Shouts of 'Duck them
Into the lake with them" brought
together a mob of 5000, all bent on
taking the women from the hands of
the police.
Not an Insult.
Speaking in a music hall later in the
day, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst re-
ferred to the womens attempts to
present pGtltlouo 10 lLS hlhS. Ao'iC
added:
This perfectly constitutional action
by the women has been called an in
suit to the king. An attempt is be-
ing made by interested politicians to
draw the king and queen into the
quarrel the women have with the
government We. as women, wish
entirely to dissociate the quarrel
from the monarchy and the pc
tition had for it's sole object calling
the attention of parliament and the
public to the seriousness of the situa-
tion."
The union to which the militant suf-
fragettes belong, issued the following
note:
The presentation of petition to
the king and queen was no disrespect
to their majesties The aim was to
call the kings attention to the fact
that there are in power ministers in
capable of dealing with the present
very serious situation, ministers who
are, quite out of touch with popular
feeling in continuing to deny women
the elemental rights of citizenship
