ANOTHER WARRANT
FOR MRS. HENDERSON
Wife of Former Missouri senator
Blamed for Destruction
of Tree.

A second warrant was issued yester-
day for the arrest OF Mrs. John B. Hen
derson, wife of the former Senator from
Missouri, charging the destruction of a
sycamore tree. which obstructed the
view from Henderson Castle, at Six
teenth Street and Florida Avenue North
west - r
The first warrant was nolle pressed by
Corporation Counsel Thomas before the
police had an opportunity to arrest Mrs.
Henderson The nolle prosequi was en-
tered after Mrs. Henderson agreed to
reimburse the District for the tree.
Warrants We're then issued for Robert
Stuer and Edward Day, laborers on the
Henderson estate, who chopped down
the sycamore urder orders from Mrs.
Henderson without procuring a permit
to destroy the tree.
Stuer and Day pleaded guilty to
charges of destroying public property
when arraigned in Police Court yesterday
and were fined SIS each. Mrs. Henderson
paid the fines and considered the incident
closed. She was much surprised to learn
a second warrant shad been issued.
Corporation counsel issued the second
warrant on the grounds that Mrs. Hem
derson was as much to blame for the de-
struction of the tree as the two laborers
who did the cutting. The warrant had
not been served at late hour last night.
The paper probably will be served to-
morrow.
II Mrs. Henderson refuses to reimburse
the District for the tree. it is understood
that a civil suit to recover the damages
will be entered. Mrs. Henderson ordered
the tree destroyed because It sobstructed
her view of Sixteenth Street, She de-
clares the tpee wastrotten and menace

CANNOT USE FLAG, HE SAYS.
shipping Trust Witness Declare,
Stars and Stripe. Are Us~le.s.

r. p. Schwerin. OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, told the committee
on merchant marine and fisheries of
the House yesterday that SO far as he
was concerned he was done with the
American flag on the peak yards of the
merchant vessels of his steamship line.
He insisted that the restrictive legisla-
ton of recent years. the contrast be-
tween tie United States Government and
foreign ship owners by which rates were
maintained at certain levels. the em-
barge on railway-owned ships in canal
traffic and the projected inhibition of the
use of Chinese sailors removed from the
boundaries OF possibility any chance for
American-owned ships flying the Stars
and Stripes to survive present-day COM
petition in trans-oceanic trade, or in
ocean-to-ocean trade through the Pana-
ma Canal
Regarding the competition in trans
Pacific trade. Mr.. Schwerin told the COM
mittee that the subsidized lines of japan
were proving the keenest competitors for
the Eastern business. Their disposition
to discriminate in favor of their own mer-
chants was carried to the point of giving
lower rates to American-bound goods con-
signed to japanese merchants in the
States than to their general business.
Mr.. Schwerin was disposed to criticise
the attitude of the committee toward
himself and his company. and when the
cross-questioning at times became harsh.
he said: Here 1 am, questioned as II
I'd committed a crime. whereas for ten
years l have been struggling against
competition stronger and more in earnest
than any one who has not been In the
business can ever realize.

LEAVES LOOT IN LOT.
Thief Robs Cornwall Apartment
and Drops Haul Outside.

Police officials are puzzled by the queer
actions Of a sneak thier who ransacked
and robbed the apartment of L. NJ. Corn
wall, at 1123 Fourteenth Street North
west on Monday last and who left about
$500 worth Of the loot on a vacant lot In
the rear of 1913 Union Street Southwest.
last night.
The abandoned loot was found by the
harbor police. who communicated the
fact to headquarters
In the absence Of occupants between
noon and o'clock Monday evening, the
Cornwall apartment was entered and
ransacked. The thief packed two suit
cases. a Gladstone bag, and a satchel
with clothes. silverware. jewelry, and
other articles worth about $500
Detectives who investigated the theft
learned little barring the fact that the
robbery was probably committed by the
same man who has been "sneaking". in
apartments for several weeks. Just why
he left the stun in the vacant lot Is a
question which the police would like to
have answered.

COMPENSATION BILL Is
FAvORABLY REPORTED
Five Democratic Members of the
House, However, Refuse to
Vote Favorably.

After delaying action for ten months,
the House Judiciary Committee yester-
day ordered a favorable report on the
Sutherland Brantley workmen's compen-
sation bill which passed the Senate last
May.
Five Democratic members of the COM
mittee voted against the favorable report
because the bill did not contain a pro-
Wis" that injured employees of common
carriers might exercise the option of
suing under the common Law for inju-
ries received. The bill as reported de-
prives injured employees of their right TO
seek damages under the common law
and provides that the rates of compen-
saticn for injuries shall be under the
graduated scale provided in the proposed
new act. An important amendment in
serted by the House committee includes
the employees Of express companies un-
der the compensation benefits proposed.
Representative Henry D. Clayton,
chairman of the committee. yesterday
made the following statement regard
ing the more important alterations:
THE measure as amended retains the
essential feature of compensation to
railroad employees who are injured while
in the performance of their duties, and
in case of death compensation to the
widow and dependents. The bill was
the employees of express companies. In
many respects the bill is liberalized and
in some instances the amount of the
compensation was increased.
IAN important amendment provides
that the State courts shall have con-
current Jurisdiction with the Federal
courts in cases where the State Legisla-
lures shall provide appropriate court
procedure for the enforcement of the
provisions of the act.
"A saving clause was also adopted pre.
viding that no employe or dependent
who shall have lost his right to compen-
sstion under the act by reason of its
invalidity IL II shall be adiudged to be
invalid, shall be deprived of any right
of action to which he would have other
wise been entitled under the liability
laws now in force. The Sutherland bill,
which the committee acted on. was in
troduced in the Senate in the same words
and on the same day as the Brantley bill
was introduced in the House"
The five members of the committee
who declined to vote for the report be-
cause of the refusal of the full COM
m,ttee to authorize optional proceedings
under the common law were Representa-
tives Webb of North Carolina, Houston
of Tennessee, f1oyd of Arkansas, Rucker
of Missouri. and Beall of Texas.
Formal rep.rt OF the bill will be made
TO the House Monday, but there is little
expectation that the measure will pass
the House at this session.

House Naval Affairs Committee to
Act February S.

At a meeting yesterday of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs it was de-
cided to postpone until February a
vote on the recommendation Of the ad-
ministration that provision be insert
ed in this years naval bill authorizing
the construction of two battlcships. I'm
less all the members are present on the
date named, action on the battleship
programme will be further delayed.
The discussion yesterday seemed to in
dicate that a. majority of the committee
favor two battleships, and such an ad-
dition to the navy will in all probability
be authorized in the bill IL those In
charge are persuaded at the time that
the House will follow the lead OF the
committee. Sentiment is growing in the
House in behalf of the navy and the

cussion on the floor will win votes for

"TARHEELS" AT BANQUET
Distinguished Sons Of Old Common

Amid decorations of branches and cones
OF long-leaf pine, sprigs OF bay. and
other foliage characteristic OF their
State. the members Of the North Caro-
lima Society of Washington held its frst
annual banquet at the Raleigh Hotel last
night Over 200 members attended the
banquet, and renewed their allegiance To
the Old North State
As the honor guest Of .he evening Gov.
Locke Craig attended. and with him at
the table sat many of the State delega-
ton in the House and United States SEN
ators to the number of six. all native
sons Of North Carolina Each of the
representatives OF the State in the Sen
ate responded to the toast North Caro-
lima in the Senate" paying high tribute
to the State which had reared them.
James A. Holmes acted as toastmaster.
They were followed by Representative
John II. Small, Representative g. W.
Connor. and Josephus Daniels, edNor of
the News and Observer. Of Raleigh. Mr..
Daniels proudly admitted that he was
"a Tar Heel. born and bred" and he
found his audience enthusiastically will
ing to own to the same title. The speak
ing came to a elimination with the
address of Gov. Craig. who said that
North Carolina had suffered irreparable
damage by the discrimination which the
railroads were making against her: that
they were not according to her the same
treatment that they were according to
the people of other States. Continuing
he said:
Industries Crippled.
Her industries are crippled by this
discrimination, and her progress seri-
ousiy impeded. Why should any per-
son or corporation establish an indus
try in Greensboro or Statesville when
the railroads offer more advantageous
freight rates to this same industry es-
tablished at Lynchburg or Roanoke?
No common carrier should be allowed
to exercise any such power. All COM
merce. all development Is dependent
upon railroad transportation By the
wrongful exercise of such powers of
discrimination these transportation
companies have built up and they have
destroyed Congress and the courts
have interfered.
IF any combination be permitted To
discriminate for or against any CO
munity or class of people they are no
longer public servants, but the masters
OF commerce. 1 know that their experts
can talk with consummate knowledge OF
freight rates, and put forth all manner
OF plausibilities. Blackstone was talking
about just such specialists when he said
that they confounded all philosophy in
the learning of scholastic dfsquisitions
and bewildered theology in the mazes OF
metaphysical targon-
The fact remains that they hau,
freight TO the cities OF North Carolina
and through the cities of North Carolina
to the cities OF Virginia, and charge the
cities of North Carolina much higher
rate than they do these cities of Nir-
ginia. This cannot be justified. and the
people OF North Carolina do not intend
to submit to it
