TWO CRITICISED
FOR NAVY h|SHAP

Severe criticism of Lieut. z. w.
Sterling and Machinist Lowe are con-
tanned in the report Of the special
board inquiry which investigated the
recent accident On board the battle
ship Louisiana, when the engine room
Of lhe vessel became flooded during
repairs TO the "alve bonnets. This
report was supplemented by a report
from Rear Admiral Badger. com
mander-in-chief Of the Atlantic fleet,
recommending that the two men be
warned of their carelessness and the
arnings placed against their rec
Ords.
According TO the report, proper su-
pervision was not provided during
the repair work. and the chief en-
gineeI of the vessel did not know
that the repairs were in progress.
Especial interest attaches 10 the find
inRs of the board as the vessel. at
the time of the accident was COM
manded By Capt. Templin NJ Potts,
and the accident occurred Just before
the captain was notified of his COM
pulsory retirement by the naval
''plucking board" He was compli-
mented highly by those under him
for the efficient manner in which
he saved the ship after the accident
occurred.

PAYS RODENBERY
TO BE INSURGENT
Georgian Attracts Attention as
Fighter and Speaker Puts
Him on Lobby Committee.
By THEODORE TILLER.

1t pays sometimes to insurge-to he
different from the fellows who are Cor
the popular thing.
Take the case of Congressman Sea
born Anderson Roddenbery OF Georgia.
who burst into Congress two years ago
with quite positive ideas concerning
legislative matters and methods OF
House procedure.
Speaker Clark has just appointed
Congressman Roddenbery as one of the
seven members who will conduct
lobby investigs ton on behalf Of the
lower branch of Congress. The as
signment is an important one; 1t will
keep Mr.. Roddenbery and his COL
leagues before the public eye possibly
for several months and there's every
chance for a man to make a record as
an investigator of the 'insidious
lobby" denounced by President Wilson.
Mr. Rcddenbtry hasn't always train
ed with the House organization-whcn
he thought the organization to bo
wrong. Yet the Speaker mas siGnal'y
recognized the Georgian as a fighter
and as man of ability and he gets
an assignment desired by more than
one ambitious and comparatively new
member.
Made Self Unpopular.
For a while after he came to the
House, Mr. Roddenbery was unpop-
uiar with certain committee chairmen
and so-called leaders. He flibustered
against pensions and for legislation 10
restrict immigration. in addition to
having other legislative sideiines.
The Georgian, greatly to the anger
of the rank and file, used to rise IN Lis
place and make points of no quorum
to delay the passage OF omnibus pen
sion bills.
He held that these omnibus bills, put
through under a virtual gag rule, were
placing men on the pension rolls who
had no right there because they had
never seen any actual fighting. Pen
sioners were also getting increases
which they did not deserve, from the
Roddenbery viewpoint.
Time and time again Mr.. Roddenbery
talked for hours against a Srao pen
sion bill. Leaders scowled at him ana
members dragged back from their
homes TO make a quorum hurled dis
proving words in the direction of the
small but fiery Georgian. Mr.. Rodden-
berry stood pat and continued to flibus-
ter, whereat some Of the old heads pre-
dicted he would never get anything or
anywhere"
The omnibus pensions bills, however,
seemed to be more carefully drawn after
Roddenbery had kept up his warfare
for a few months. Perhaps, there were
not quite so many of them and MEM
bers having such bills in charge grew
more concilatory in their explanations
of the merits of the pending measures
Roddenbery was making progress.
Berated Committee.
Then he berated the Rules Committee
one day for its alleged sitting of a
rule for the consideration of the immi-
grafton bill. The old-timers again shook
their heads. 1t was awful to see new
member jump on the almost sacred
Rules Committee. But Mr.. Roddenbery
Jumped every chance he had and he
played his part in the final passage Of

JACK THE HVGGER"
SOUGHT BY POLICE
Four Complaints Now Lodged
Against Man Who Has Ter
rified Women.

Determined II possible to put a stop
to the daring attacks on white wom-
en- by an unidentified colored man on
the public streets during the day
time, police all over the District to-
day are endeavoring to get some clue
to the Jack the Hugger," who. dur
ing the last week has grabbed two
women and insulted two others.
The latest victims of the colored
man is Mrs. William Conradis, of 3017
Thirteenth street northwest who was
attacked at neon yesterday at Co
lumbia road and Sherman avenue.
Mrs. CoEradis was on her way to get
q Georgia avenue car when the at
tack occurred. Sneaking up behind
her, the colored man seized her
around the waist.
Mrs. Conradis screamed and managed
to break away from the man, who ran
through an alley and disappeared. The
case was not reported to the police
until late last night, as Mrs Conradis
had desired to avoid publicity.
The description of the man tallies
with that of the one who last Monday
morning grabbed Mrs. May Jorgensen.
sister-in-law Of Senator Miles Poindex-
ter, in front Of the Senator's residence
In n street It is also believed by the
police that the man may be the same
one who last Tuesday approached two
young women in Seventh street north
west and made insulting remarks to
them
The man did not make any remark to
Mrs Conradis or Mrs. Jorgensen.
Both described their assailant as being
shout twenty gears old and ginger
cake color. Mrs. Conradis said the
man was dressed in a dark blue suit
md a black slouch hat. The man, if he
Is The same one, wore other clothes
when he attacked Mrs. Jorgensen. Sew
ersi suspects have been rounded ur by
the police. but as there is nothing on
any OF them those vino were held over

the immigration bill, which was vetoed
by President Taft. He now has pend
ing an immigration measure of his own.
Meanwhile. the Georgia member went
after such other reforms as the pro-
hibition from interstate commerce of all
prize fight films and pictures. The bill
was adopted. Then he assailed Jack
Johnson and his marriage to white
woman, proposing law which would
make marriage between the races a
nationwide law of this character. and
pioneer Roddenbery will have won an
other victory.
Several times during his comparative
ly short career Il the House the Georgia
member has defied the so-called House
machine He has protested against
gag rule" and extravagant appropria-
tions, and early earned the distinction
of the original Democratic insurgent
Congressman Tribble of Georgia was a
expenditures and against gag rule"
Has Other Work.
In addition to being a lobby investiga-
tor, Mr.. Roddenbery is on the Public
Buildings Committee. which helps a fel-
low to get things for his district occa-
sionally, and he has other committee
assignments which are worth while. The
Georgian has his best chance to shine.
however, as a lobby hunter. and he
possesses the inquisitorial ability to
make 1t uncomfortable for witnesses
with something to tell.
Mr.. Roddenbery halls from Thomas
: vile, Ga, where he was once a lawyer
and Judge OF the county court. He is
small of stature, but full OF determi-
nation and energy, and the word tired"
isn't in mis- vocabulary.
Sometimes it pays to insurge and
draw attention to ones fighting ability.

WHEN |SA DRUNK!
MED|COS DECIDE
Examination by Doctors Is
Made Before Prisoners Are
Arraigned in Court.

II. while uniacing his sho..s to take
on his collar. man is arrested. who
determines whether he is drunk?
II. while reaching the key for its
proper place during the hours after
midnight he shoves his arm through
his neighbors second story window
who judges whether he is victim OF
''one too many7'
Nine out of ten persons would answer
that the Police Court is the resort
where doors of these and similar antics
that lead policemen to suspect citizens
of being drunk are given final Iudg-
ment But IN reality that tribunal,
according to the present method merely
passes sentence on '.jags." That SEN
tence has consistently been SO a jag
ever since the new law began being
enforced.
1t is rot the business of the legal
fraternity TO pass upon the physical
conditions of men. Hence til. drunkard
is prejudiced before entering the court.
And this prejudging is done by a corps
of medlcos. a group of the sons of
Aesculapius, expert in determination
Of What Is jag" or When is a
man drunk?'
This corps of drunk judgers is di-
vided between the Emergency and Cas-
pslty Hospitals, whittier all persons
suspected of being victims OF Gico-
holism are taken as soon as they are
arrested. The diagnosis of these cases
at times when a doer of things Queer
has been almost brought back 10 the
state of reason by the baseDallic voice
of a policeman or a fail mat would
kill q sober man, is rather difficult.
In cases where the form OF Ihe accused
is PROSTATE, the case of course is
usually said to be a ''prima facie' one.
All the ph. .ysician does is examine the
corpse" and determine from the fast
flowing, alcohol propelled breath
whether IL was whisky or beer. Some
times this is not possible and the Yer
dict is just plain intoxicated from Gse
Of intoxicants.
Where the prisoner is Oh his feet
and making every pretense, however, of
rationalism. the examination requires
more expert treatment. ''Jow many
have you had" is asked. Adroit Iucs-
tioning plays a part, and not onlT the
power of speech auG iocoDIotion. but
oIher faculties are tested to reach a
positive conclusion whether the subject
is in a somewhat ''p!ckled" condition.
Judge Pugh has never failed to con-
vict when the testimony Of the doctor
adjudges the defendant guilty. SO IL
can be easily seen how these physicians
keep their hands on the pulse OF the
CITY drinking community and who in
reality is the final Judge of when a man
IS drunk
