the testimony Of F. Kingsbury Curtis.

Curtis complained that. although the

be Illegal for steamship companies to
announce that they would or would not
maintain a certain schedule OF rates for

PROGRESSIVES OPEN
HEADQUARTERS HERE
o. K. Davis in Charge of Bull Moose
Bureau-Wide Campaign Planned
the Country Over.

The Progressive party opened national
headquarters in Washington yesterday
and announced that the campaign for
1916 was under way. The Washington
headquarters are in charge OF o. X
Davis. secretary OF the party. The open
ing of these offices is the answer of the
simon-pUre Progressives to the proposals
for an amalgamation of that party with
the Republican party.
The Progressive party wants no ANAL
GamatiOn, and its leaders are determined
that the fight shall be continued along
the lines of the last campaign. The
Washington bureau will be devoted al
most entirely TO the dissemination OF in
formation and to the publication of a
weekly paper, to be called the Progress
sive Bulletin.
The organization will be the most com
plete and comprehensive ever undertak-
en- by a political party in America, and
the plan now contemplates an active
canvass in every Congressional district
OF the United States in the campaign
of 1914. This fight will be waged in the
South as well as in other sections. The
organization work. however. will go far
ther in Congressional districts. and at
tempts will be made to organize Pro-
gressive clubs in counties, city wards
and even smaller civil subdivisions. The
idea is TO build a new party from the
ground up.

TRAINED nurse
TAKES HERLIFE
Continued from Page One.

a photograph of the man she loved.
The picture was pasted on the back of
a magazine picture of Lillian Russell.
Miss Elwell mailed no picture of her
self, and II is stated that she destroyed
all of her pictures before swallowing
the acid.
As soon as the editor comprehended
the contents of the letter from Miss
Elwell, he notified Capt. Charles Peck.
of the Second Precinct, who sent Po-
liceman HughIett to the apartments.
Hughlett created a bit of excitement
when he asked permission to search
the apartment for the body of the
young woman who had committed sui
eide. A glance through the transom
was enough to tell the policeman that
Miss Elwell was dead.
Hughlett removed the glass window In
the transom and climbed over the door.
On the table with the note addressed to
Coroner hewitt was a letter to a Mrs.
Diffenderfer. who sublets the various
rooms OF the apartment. Mrs. Offender
fer asserts that the contents OF the letter
deal entirely with matters OF business,
relating to Miss Elweirs room rental
Another letter was addressed TO the
father-in-law OF the man whom Miss
Elweil loved. The father-in-law. when
asked the contents OF the letter. de-
clared he could not divulge Miss ElwelPs
message OF farewell. He asserted that
he considered the contents sacred be-
cause the writer was dead. II is be-
lieved that this letter was written for
the purpose of injuring Miss ElwelPs
former lover in the eyes OF his father
in-law.
Miss Elwell's vengence also was d.
rected at the fraternal relations OF the
man with whom she was infatuated. In
letter addressed TO on officer of a
secret order Miss EIwell Is believed to
have recounted her relations with her
one-time admirer. hoping In this way
to injure him because he showed atten-
ton TO her while he was married.
Miss Elwell gave first aid to Miss Alic.
V. HOughton two years ago. when Miss
Houghton was scalped by a machine belt
in the Census Office. Both were employ
cd in the office at that time, and though
Miss Elwell did not know Miss Hough-
ton. the trained nurse gave the injured
girl valuable aid until an ambulance ar
rived from Emergency Hospital. A few
days ago Miss Elwell responded to a
request from Senator MARITIME by sending
him letter. in which she gave her pro-
fessiOnal opinion OF the injury TO Miss
Houghton.
Miss Elwell was the daughter of WILL
lam II. Elwell. a retired business man,
who resides near Winchester. Va. He
was notified last night Of the suicide OF
his daughter. and wired to the police
that he would arrive in Washington as
soon as possible to arrange for burial.
Efforts to learn from whom Miss Ell
well inherited money have been futile.
but she told friends al the Plymouth that
a relative living near Winchester had
died. Miss EIweil placed the amount OF
her inheritance at SEQ.

''BATHTUB" OFFICIALS
FACE TRIAL FEBRUARY 3
Nineteen Defendants Face Jail Sen.
tences-Court Sits at
Detroit.

The retriaI of the nineteen defendants
in the governments criminal suit against
the Bathtub Trust will open at Detroit
on February 3
The conviction of these defendants
means a prison sentence. They consti-
tute the leading officials of the sixteen
corporations manufacturing plumbing ap-
paratus which entered into a price and
sale agreement. thus constituting what
is now known as the Bathtub Trust.
These individuals, most of whom are
among the leading busines men of the
country, were indicted by the Federal
grand jury in December. 1910. The in
dictments were returned on evidence the
government ELECTED while prosecuting its
civil action against the trust at Balti-
more.
The indicted men have made many over
lures to the government TO escape GRIM
inal prosecution, but Attorney General
Wickersham has maintained firm
stand in the matter and has consistently
insisted upon criminal prosecution and
q prison sentence in every case of con-
viction.
The first criminal trial was begun at
Detroit on February Z, 1912. but there was
a jury disagreement. The trial lasted
about 4 month.
In the meantime, the government was
carrying on its dissolution suit begun on
July %, 1910 On November IS, 1872, the
Bathtub Trust was found guilty by the
United States Supreme Court, holding
that it was a combination in illegal re-
straint of trade in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
This combination was the usual pool,
with a director. or superintendent, who
fixed the prices. In the case OF the
Bathtub Trust the price fixer was E. L.
Wayman. OF Pittsburg. In the govern
ment's dissolution suit It was brought
out that the prices in the field which
the trust dominated had been arbitrarily
fixed in more than 40C instances.
The trial at Detroit will be held before
United States District Judge Clarence w
Sessions, of Grand Rapids, and the
prosecution in behalf of the government
will be conducted by Edwin P. Gros-
venor, assistant to the Attorney Gen.

PUPILS Will TRIP
Light FANTASTIC
Lessons in Dancing to Be In
augurated in the Public
Schools Tomorrow.
NEW LESSON WELCOMED
Parents Make No Objection to Plan
of Superintendent Of Schools
Davidson.

The old saying that THE old order is
ever giving way to the new" will fur
ther be substantiated in the public
schools OF the District, beginning with
tomorrow, when the recent mandate OF
Superintendent of Schools Davidson re-
Earding the teaching OF dancing in the
public schools goes into effect -
Beginning tomorrow in all of the fifth
and sixth grade rooms of the city schools
a visitor will witness the unusual spec
tacIe of forty or fifty boys and girls
dancing a sort of a rhythm dance with
their teacher.
The idea of intoxicating in school chill
dren the sense or rhythm by means of
physical exercises accompanied by music
is an innovation in the Washington
schools. 1t is in accordance with the
progressive ideas of Superintendent
Davidson.
Supt Davidson yesterday said that he
predicted the idea would take with the
children and prove popular with the
teachers. For some days the teachers
of the lower grades have been trying
10 instill in their charges the idea of
combining physical motions with music,
hut the youngsters in these grades are
most too young to do much dancing. and
it is now left for the teachers in the
fifth and sixth grades 10 really start the
movement.
Amusement Afforded.
The new idea has not only afforded
amusement for the children, but it has
caused the teachers much merriment.
who in OFF hours have practiced in order
10 be efficient in instructing their
charges. Parents at home seeing the
young teachers going through strange
movements and striking queer attitudes
were at a loss to understand the mean
ing of it all.
They were at loss to understand the
serious expressions and the earnestness
displayed bv the young teachers in their
efforts to master the new study" At
first they could not comprehend how
such foOlishness could benefit a school
child. As the teacher became more
adept and graceful in the new science
they came to agree with DR.. Davidson
that 1t would greatly benefit the young
sters
No complaints against the new idea
have been made to DR.. Davidson, and ii
is expected that the teachers will de-
rive as much enjoyment out of it as the
youngsters, except the few awkward,
and few admit being any such thing
even TO themselves.
