in Kardville Haunted out, her features
distorted with rage that showed
evil depths in that perverse nature.
Miss Ridgeley nodded crisply to
Olga, stared insolently at Vera, and
Vera's eyes flashed as the ill-natured
aristocrat swept out to her waiting
automobile. Then Vera arose to fol-
low Olga, who had started for the in
ner room. At it's threshold Vera
paused.
1t was to view pathetic and NOV
ing scene Miss Tyler, the little dress
maker, a fair, sweet-faced girl of 10,
was seated beside a torn and disor-
dered fabric of lace and satin sobbing
out her sorrow After all her hard
work, from vicious caprice, Miss
Ridgeley had gone into a transport
of wrath because she herself had pro-
vided the wrong shade of trimming,
had flung the garment from her and
refused to pay for the work done
upon it.
Olga was on her knees by her side,
her arms about her neck, trying to-
comfort her Vera was deeply affect
ed. She drew back, feeling that she
was intruding. g.:
Its a shamew exclaimed Olga, as
they left the place. 81 shall see that
Miss Tyler does not lose the money
she 80 sorely needs. What a viper
that Ridgeley girl is! "The most pop
ular girlp She? Why, outside of the
money spent on her by her servile
admirers Miss Tyler here would out
vote her two to one! Let me tell
you, Vera-this Rose Tyler is the Idol
of the poor people around here. Her
father, doctor, gave his life to them
during forty years practice. They
are focking to the store to get cou-
.pons to vote for her, but of course
their little money will not count
against the Ridgeley dollars"
"She struck me as a ladylike, beau
tiful girl"

number of letters She did not tell
Olga, but Vera had decided on plan
to defeat the relentless autocracy of
Miss Ridgely and help the modest
little dressmaker. -.s- -.
All Vera had to do to have her
numerous knight Grants flock to her
standard, was to advise them Of her
place of detreat. The first to arrive
was Gerald Wynne. OF all her male
acquaintance he was the oldest.
They had known each other for
years. A great many fancied it would
eventually be match, but no word of
love had passed between them.
Within three days there was quite
a coterie at Wardville. Three Of
Vera's girl chums arrived and were
domiciled in the Wolcott home. The

Strangely Vera seemed to forget her

enjoyable lawn parties and picnics

Miss Ridgely and her friends pro-
ceeded to "sit up and take notice."
but no overtures were made, and mi
lady of Wardville was piqued to real
ize that her petty exclusiveness had
shut her out from association with
'the real quality" -
ooh, you clever, clever plotter!"
burst forth Olga one day. "And SO
self-sacrifcing!"
"Why, what do you mean, my
dear?" questioned Vera, but flushing
consciously. r
.' "All you brought your friends down
here for, was to boom our sweet little
dressmaker friend, Rose Tyler, and
she Is going to win, too!'

liberal cohorts, when the piano con-
test ended Miss Rose Tyler had three

OLD WOMAN IS
 GUILTY OF MURDER

DETROIT, April 13.-Mrs. Caroline Becker, the 60-year-old woman who has been on trial here for the mur- der of Miss Frances Bomholt, was convicted today for the crime
 The old woman murdered Miss Bomholt with coal, pounding her in- to insensibility and then leaving her to die. The object of the crime was robbery and it was the sale of stolen articles which led to the apprehen- sion of the defendant and her trial and conviction.
 Because of the age of the defend ant it is doubtful if the death pen alty will be imposed. Attorneys for the aged woman will take an appeal in the hopes of securing a reversal of the judgment.

RIGGS BANK |S AFTER SEC. M 'AOO0 Claim He Is Trying To Wreck the Bank To Vent Personal Spite
 Against Them.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The president and directors of the Riggs National bank, of this city, filed a formal complaint in the district court charging that the presidents son-in- law, William McAdoo, who is the Secretary of the Treasury. and Con- troller of the Treasury Williams have, by illegal inquisitions and illegal re. quirements, attempted to wreck the bank because of the criticism of the bank officials against Williams at the time he was named for the position he now holds.
 The charges as sworn to by the bank officials state that when Will Hams first heard of the opposition to him by them in December, 1913, he called at the bank, cursed the di- rectors and officers of the bank and told them he would wreck the bank before he was through. They state that they did not at that time pay any attention to the threat, because they believed it was the statement of a man who had, for the time being, lost control of his temper, but since that time he and the Treasury De- partment investigators have in every manner attempted to cause the bank trouble and to force statements each week as if the bank were lnsolvent.
 The charges have caused sensa tion and are certain to result in a congressional investigation upon the reconvening of congress.
 The charge is also made that Nc Adoo himself cursed the officers of the bank when they refused to with. draw their opposition to Williams, who was close personal friend of McAdoo.
 The bankers ask for an injunction against McAdoo, who is trying to force an interest payment of $5,OOO0O on government bonds in the bank. He has also withdrawn the govern ment funds at the bank in an effort to embarrass the bank.
 The bankers have brought the ac- tion in the federal court in an ef- fort to secure an injunction and to give the Treasury Department some publicity. The outcome will be watch ed with keen interest. The Riggs National Bank is one of the oldest houses in Washington and Is considered as strong as any bank.

The political effect of a big Russian victory in the Carpathians is realiz ed by the German government and by Gen. von Hindenburg, who has withdrawn all available troops from east Prussia to reinforce the Austri- ans and has also sent in a terrific attack against the Warsaw defenses, compelling the czars troops to hold the present line and not send further forces to the Carpathians.

 The Russian engineers have been at work repairing the forts of Osso- wetz since the attack a few weeks ago and the forts are expected to block every German assault.

 BERLIN, April 13.-The govern ment officials today issued form al notice denying the reports con- stantly being sent out from London to the effect that Germany was ready to seek peace and had intimated to a number of neutral countries de- sire to ascertain the terms upon which the Allies would grant peace to the Fatherland. The government states that Germany is better able to fight today than at the time of the opening of hostilities; that more men are now in the field and that the fighting is still in the country of the enemy and not in Germany, with the chances more than even that the Ger man war machine will beat down all opposition and dictate terms of peace to the British, French and Russians, which will make for the peace of the world and free the world of Brit ish navalism and British aggression, which has slowly crushed all the smaller nations of the world and is now striving to put out the last coun-

 Our Neutrality.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Victorian- no Huerta, former provisional presi- dent of Mexico, was allowed to land here today by the immigrant au- thorities after he had taken an oath that he would not attempt to violate the neutrality of the United States and would do nothing to bring about trouble between this country and Mexico.

PETROGRAD, April 13.-The Rus sians have won a victory in Beskid and are pushing a big force down the Carpathian mountain sides into the fields of Hungary. The victory will force the Austrians now holding po- sitions east of Uszok and in eastern Galicia and Bukowina, to seek safety in retreat, as they are in danger of being cut off by the new force which is able to strike at the line of com munications in the rear of the Aus trian forces.
 Battle Lasted Eighty Days.
 The battle at Beskid lasted for eighty days. The fighting was con- stant. Attack after attack and as- sault followed assault upon the Aus trian positions, but failed to dislodge them, as they held commanding posi- tions selected with great skill and held with a courage that seems to block all advances until the assault last night, which followed a bom- bardment with heavy guns brought to the front since the fall of Prze- mysl and which could not be used prior to this time with an Austrian army in the rear of the Carpathian line.

SUNDAY CLOSING

Bill To Repeal Law Over Governors Veto Lost In the Senate and
 Law Will Be Enforced.

JUNEAU, April 13.-The house of representatives voted today to pass the bill repeating the Sunday clos ing law over the governors veto, but the senate sustained the veto and the law requiring all business houses except such as drug stores and un- dertakers to remain closed on Sun- day remains on the statuute book.
 The house voted thirteen to three in favor of the repeal but when it reached the senate that chamber up held the veto by vote of five to three. The bill was fathered by Rep resentative Coombs of Nome, and he made a great fight to have the law stricken from the code. The bill did not include saloons, which would still be required to remain closed from midnight Saturday to midnight Sun day.
 Coombs now announces that he will insist on the law being enforced in every division of the territory, and has requested the attorney-general to issue instructions to all district at torneys in Alaska to see that none of the prohibited businesses are al lowed to open on Sunday. He hopes in this way to cultivate popular sen timent against the law, which will result in a demand for it's repeal.

GERMAN CRUISER
 ID MAKE REPAIRS
Commander of Crown Prinz Wilhelm Asks for Permission To Put
 Boat in Good Condition.

WASHINGTON, April 13-The com- mander of the German converted cruiser Grown Prinz Wilhelm, now at Newport News, has requested per mission to repair his ship, which has been on the high seas for eight months and in need of repairs. The permission will be granted after naval experts have examined the ship and made an estimate of the time need ed and the repairs required to put the vessel in condition to put to sea.
 The commander of the ship will be allowed to take on about 1,700 tons of coal to take him to the nearest German port, which is Bremen. Just what time will be allowed for the coaling and repairs is not known and will be kept a secret because of the desire to prevent the British war ships off the Virginia capes from knowing just when to expect the Ger man boat should she attempt to make rush for the sea.
 The general opinion among diplo- mats and naval authorities here is that the boat will intern as the chances of escape are few and the opportunity to raid British commerce is also poor now that the British have so many fast cruisers on the Atlantic ocean.

The Alaska Syndicate is also said to be interested in the Broad Pass country, where they have locat- ed many claims of low grade ore, but with an immense body of ore in sight.
 Why Perkins or any member of the syndicate should be glad that Seward is selected when the company spent thousands of dollars in an eff fort to convince congress and the president that the Cordova road was the proper one for the government to buy and operate is not hard to un- derstand.

 Terminal of Government Line

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Daily Times of last evening prints a story regarding the work of the Alaska Syndicate in the north and states that the Copper River & Northwestern railroad will be extended into the az ricultural districts of Alaska. The article prints supposed interview with George w. Perkins, the former member of the Morgan Syndicate, who visited Alaska four years ago in which Perkins congratulates Presi- dent Wilson upon the selection of the route, claiming that he has done a good job and that he has taken the best terminal.
 Perkins also states that the Cor dova railroad will be extended and resources developed along the pres- ent line with spurs to such mines as will produce tonnage for the road.
 An effort will be made by those in- terested in the road, says The Times. to have the Boring River coal fields opened and the coal sent to the Paci- fic coast cities.
