GARDNER RESOLUTION
HELD TOO wARLfKE

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL President
Wilson takes the stand that the Am
erican public is entitled to know all
facts concerning the efficiency OF na-
tional defense
He told callers. however he be-
lieved the facts could best be deter
mined in the ordinary way and not
through an investigation previously
heralded as intended to deYise plans
to prepare for war with another coun-
try. President Wilson said he had
received numerous letters from prom
inent men and women throughout the
country protesting against the spread
Of militaristic propaganda.
The president refused TO admit that
he had knowledge OF the presence in
Washington OF an alleged lobby. paid
by armor plate manufacturers. am
munition and ordnance makers and
the powder trust.
Mr.. Wilson characterized as absurd
the charge by Senator Smith OF MI
chigan that the evacuation OF Vera
Cruz followed an ultimatem from
General Carranza.

BAKER Ore. Dec. 1.-THE
sheriffs office today sent out word
along the o.1W. r. & N. company
lines to keep watch for a tall man.
dressed in blood covered clothing and
possibly carrying a heavy walking
stick. The man Is wanted on a
charge Of murder as the result OF an
attack on a woman known as Hobo
Nell' or Hiking Nell" near Pleasant
Valley last night.
The woman was found in an ap-
parently dying condition on the rail-
load tracks near Pleasant Valley last
night by the crew OF a light engine.
She was terribly beaten about the
head and body with a club and this
morning revived long enough to gasp
out a story of a tall man who had
come armed with a heavy stick, de-
randing money and beating her in
TO Inconsistencies. Her story was
incoherent. She said she told the man
she had no money but that he con-
tinued the attack. This, she said,
was not on the railroad track but on
the road beside the track. The WON.
an does not know OF being carried to
the track but the fact that the train
crew found her there indicates that
the assailant tried TO murder her.
The helper engine brought the lit
tie ape-like woman in TO Baker in the
cab late last night. DR.. w. L. Park
er was busy at the hospital for three
hours sewing up cuts and caring for
her. There were great gashes over
her head. both hands were broken by
the blows OF the club as she tried TO
ward them off, her eyeball was cut
and there are possible internal in
iuries. DIR. Parker said this after
noon that there is still probability
that the woman will die.

SUBMARINES ARE
DRIVEN OFF BY
BIG DOVER GUNS
TWO OR THREE OF THE GER
MAN FLOTILLA REPORTED
TO HAVE BEEN SUNK.


LONDON, Dec. l1.-Half a dozen
German submarines made an attempt
at $3.50 o'clock Thursday morning to
enter the Admiralty harbor, according
to a Dover dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company, and for half an
hour the batteries kept up a furious
fusillade, firing at least 200 shots.
1t is reported that two or three OF
the submarines were sunk, but no
confirmation of this can be obtained
The attempt was made under Gov
er OF early darkness and during
heavy rain storm. The first alarm,
says the dispatch, was given by the
firing Of a naval gun, and soon all the
batteries were in action.
The admiralty, to whom this dis
patch was submitted, said that 1t had
not received confirmation of the re-
ported attack.
Dover is opposite the French town
% Calais and is one of the chief ports
of communication between England
end the continent. The Admiralty
harbor, comprising an area OF 610I
acres, is the finest harbor for refuge
in the channel.
Its construction was begun in 1898
and completed in 1909 at a cost of
S17.500,OO0.
The western limit Of the older COM
merclal harbor and the Admiralty
harbor is the Admiralty pier. The
commercial harhor is bound on the
east by the Prince OF Wales pier
while the east arm of the Admiralty |
harbor Is built out from the shore
to the east of Dover Castle. There
are numerous forts guarding the en-
trance.

HALFWAY, Dec. ia baby's cry
saved the family OF Arthur Gray from
death In flames at 1870 O'Clock this
morning. Mr.. Gray heard the little
one yelling at the top OF its lungs,
arose TO learn the cause and found
flames bursting up the stairase OF his
home, just below the cemetery. He
rushed back and awakened HIS wife
and other child and a Mrs. Mills nj, =
was staying at the Gray dwelling. FRS.
Gray took the two babies. one aged
two and a half and the other an in
FAINT Of 10 months and leaped to safe

Mills became highly excited and
sought 10 rush down the stairs. Mr
Gray grappled with her and was H.
nally forced TO throw her from the
window and then leap himself. Just
before the floors in the dwelling be-
gan TO fall. Mrs. Mills back was in
jured and she was severely bruised
and sustained possible internal in
juries. Mr.. Gray was somewhat burn
ed but not seriously.
Mrs. Gray had been suffering from
toothache and late last night Mr..
Gray arose. built a fire and heated
some irons. At midnight he went
back TO bed and left the fire burning

blaze in the home. The dwelling was
one OF the prettiest in Halfway. The

$4,000.
The family saved nothing and es-
capped from the flames only in their
night clothes. It was bitter cold but
neighbors hurried to the scene and
carried for the members OF the fam.
