InteIligence and Justice Rule.

The decisive defeat of the George taxation bill
and the Johnson and Prouty amendments in the
House of Representatives yesterday the newt
able triumph of intelligence indifference, gnor-
ance and narrow-mnded prejudice Yesterday Io4
members entered the House prepared to vote not as
confidence misplaced in the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia dictated but impelled by their
sense of justice and knowledge of actual conditions
gained by their own investigation.
The men who yesterday swept from the calendar
the unintegible mass of iniquitous and destructive
proposed legislation had long been imposed upon by
the leaders on the District Committee whom they
had naturally and properly trusted and believed until
reluctantly compelled to recognize that their conf
dence had been betrayed.
The people of Washington will be grateful to these
statesmen who have given enough of their time,
greatly in demand in connection with the affairs of
their own States and districts, say nothing Of i'm
portant national policies discover the truth about
taxation here and to by their the Capital
City from the blight of destructive legislation urged
by its enemies with persistence at once amazing
and incomprehensible.
With Justice and intelligence again in control
where District affairs concerned it will only be
necessary for the Citizens Committee of One Hun
dred and Washington people generally to keep closely
in touch with the Legislative situation and sound the
alarm when danger threatens. The who now
understand the District Committee and expressed
their understanding in their votes yesterday may
safely be depended upon to respond to the call.
In losing the confidence of the House the destrnc-
tive statesmen of the District Committee have lost
much of their power. Should they realize this they
may reasonably be expected to desist from attempts
conscatory taxation of the property of Washing
ton people; but it will not do to take chances The
committee must be watched until adjournment day.

Gated the Of the District throughout the pres.

Brussels, Aug. 7-S.4S A. M.-Via
London, Aug. 7, P. M.-Trains filled
with wounded and fugitives non-com-
batants, arrived today from Liege and
neighboring towns. The military
trains with prisoners on board were
sent from Liege to Antwerp.
The Belgian troops appeared to be
in the best Of spirits when the trains
left Liege. They declared that If there
had not been 10 Germans to one Bel
gian, not one German would have got
through their lines. The Belgians,
however, were partially exhausted,
having fought for so hours without
rest.
Some of the Belgian wounded, eye
witnesses of the fighting, say they saw
German moved down by hundreds in
front Of the trenches and entangIe-
ments by the gun and rife fire Of the
Belgians, but that they were replaced
by others who crawled forward like
weasles. In certain places in the fight
ing zone the ground was covered with
dead, the burial of which, it was said,
would take at least week.

ASHORE IN FOG

Passengers Are Taken
OH-Steamer Floats
At High Tide

Portland, Me-, Aug. TN a fog de-
scribed as thick as mud, the Eastern
Steamship Cos. steamer Bay State,
which left Boston last night for Port
land, struck on the rocks just inside Of
Portland Head at the entrance to the
harbor early today.
The passengers. Of whom there were
about $50, were taken off and brought
into the harbor by the bay steamer
Pilgrim. There was little excitement
on board.
A hole was stove In the steamers
bow but it was expected she would be
foated soon with the incoming tide
and assistance of several tugs.
The Bay State. in command of Capt.
c.: Craig, who had been transferred
from the Bangor line steamer Belfast,
and was making his first trip on the
Bay State, was cropping through the
fog at 4.25 o'clock when She fetched up
on the Cape shore rocks.
Distress signals were sounded on the
whistle and attempts were made to
call assistance by wireless. The reve-
nue. cutter Woodbury., which is pa
trolling the entrance to the harbor to
enforce neutrality regulations. was the
first to reach her side.
The Pilgrim brought the passengers
into port shortly before s o'clock. The
Bay State was resting easily and the
transfer was accomplished without Diff
| ficulty or special danger.
AS the tide was nearly low when the
steamer struck, the officials were con-
fident she would be foated easily on
the flood tide. The steamer was float
ed and came to her dock under her
own steam.

by George Stevens got mixed up with an
automobile and an electric car. Mr.. Ste

reached an automobile came up over the
hill around the turn. In turning out for
the auto the team swung around into the
9 o'clock car bound for Gardiner. 1t is
not known whether the team was hit by
the car or not. but somehow in the melee
the pole of the wagon was broken and
one of the swingletrees. The horses were
somewhat freed from the cart. pulling

him some distance. He was given quite
shaking up. The horses were uninjured

BELIEVE GERMAN
FLEET HEMMED IN
EAST NORTH SEA

London, Aug. $40 A. MA de-
spatch to the Daily News from New
castle timed / A. NJ. today says that
a wireless message received at South
Shields shortly before midnight states
that the British fleet engaged the Ger
man high seas fleet in a heavy battle
off the South Dogger Banks.
After an engagement along the bat
tie line which extended for many miles
and in which many ships on both
sides took part, the German fleet was
beaten back and moved In the direc-
ton of the coast of Holland.
1t is now believed that the German
fleet is completely hemmed in the
eastern side of the North Sea.
All the rest of the sea is in the con-
troll of the British fleets. Support for
this contention is found in the official
permission given to fishing trawlers
to leave the Tyne ports, those of the
Humber and other east coast fishing
centers for the fishing grounds today.
This has been forbidden for two days.
The surgeon in charge Of the South
Shields hospital received a wireless
message last night, asking what &C.
commodations he had for the wound
ed. He replied that he could take care
of 1000 persons.
