 The destruction of the l5,OO0-ton battleship Bulwark, near the mouth of the Thames, still is unexplained.
 Wrapped in dense clouds of smoke and steam, the vessel sank within five minutes. carrying to their death all but fourteen men of the crew and officers. numbering probably more than 800 These were all non-com- missioned officers and men, the ad- miralty announced.
 Officially the destruction of the bat tleship was regarded as due to an ac. cidental explosion in her forward ma. gazine from causes unknown.
 This was the theory advanced by Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty in the House of Com monts. when he announced the news
 There was no great upheavai of water he said, as would have occur red if she had been torpedoed or struck by mine Instead the ship was enveloped in smoke and flame and when this had cleared, nothing could be seen but wreckage floating on the sea.

 The Spugs, or members of the so- ciety formed for the purpose of check ing useless and senseless giving during the holidays, have adopted a happier name without changing the laudable aim and purpose leading to its organ iazdon At it's annual meeting the So- ciey for the Prevention of Useless Civ ing became the Society for the Pro motion of Useful Giving. The society In changing it's name to one having Q gonuer sound did not get away from the initials S. P. U. G. and which in- ltlals In the minds Of many had a close-hsted or tightpurse sound. or course, this impression was never jus tihed by the objects of the society.
 There is no reproach in the word spug. It has come to stand for re- form longed for and demanded by millions of people helpless in the grip of a bad custom until the initiative of certain bold and daring spirits helped them. Useless giving, much of which has been demanded in the holiday season, has been Q burden some tax on glyers and an injustice to worthy objects of charity and holi- day giving. Some correction of the abuse has been realized because of the existence of the s. P. U. G. and inc publicity which has been given to that organization. The Society for the Promotion of Useful Giving should have a membership as broad and wide as the country of it's birth.

DAVID AT WRIGHT PROBE.
Attorney Gives His View of Judges
Action in Hamilton Case.

Levi H. David explained to the Wright
impeachment subcommittee of the House
today his view of the refusal of Judge
Wright to postpone a sentence Of death
on William Walter Hamilton, who COM
ndtted murder in 1905. Hamilton was
first tried in Judge Goulds court, and got
a new trial before Judge Wright He
pleaded guilty. but Judge Wright would
not accept that plea in a capital case. and
assigned Mr. David to defend him. After
the trial Hamilton again was found guilty
and sentenced to death
Meantime, David took the case to the
Court of Appeals, but the date for the
sentence he believed to be too close, SO
he asked Judge Wright to postpone the
date. This, he said. Judge Wright would
not do.
Subsequently a higher court overruled
Judge Wright on that point, but sus-
tained him in the sentence of death. and
Mr.. David's client suffered the penalty
of the law.
