COURT CALLSLE|TER
ACTS STRONG ARM
Declares MiIlionaire's Methods
Will Not Be Tolerated in
Shadow of Capitol.

Joseph Letter, millionaire. and ce'~-
brated for his attempts to corner ths
wheat market. was scored for strong arm
methods by Judge Edward C. Peters in
the criminal court at Rockville today
The millionaire appeared as a witness
in the suit against Frank Wallace, a co.'s
ored emplove of Letter, who was charged
with having maliciously destroyed :.
bungalow built by Adrian Sizer. law
yer of this city, on an island In the Poto-.
mac river directly in front OF the Nirgtnix
estate of Mr.. Letter.
Wallace on the stand today admitted
that he had cut the props from undeJ
the bungalow. Mr.. Letter also al
nitted that he had given orders tha1
the bungalow he removed He sail
that he believed that the island wsA
par of his property and that the erec-
| ton of the bungalow had been tho act1
OF a trespasser. He considered II un<i
slightly and ordered It removed.
"strong-Arm Methods"
Judge Peters in deciding the 6ssA
held that Letter was primarily re-
sponsib,e and declared his methods
were Of the strong-armed sort and al-
together too high handed These
methods might go in some other parts
Of the country. he said. but not in tn,
shadow OF the National Capitol Hs
said the act was in willfui destructioI
of Mr.. Sizers property He found Wal
Ia ce not guilty, since he acted IN good
faith under order from Mr. Letter.
In 1913 Adrian Sizer obtained from
the state of Maryland patent to the
island on which the bungalow was
erected The island is about e-thiri
Of an acre In area and is separated
from the Virginia shore by n channel
twenty-five or thirty feet wide MIR.
Sizer built his bungalow on the island,
doing mcst of the work himself, he
| testified. He said that the bungalow
had cost about $500 and that the equip
ment he valued at 5000. 1t was COM
pleted last December.
January Is last Frank Wallace, under
the instructions of James Quinn, Mr.
| Letters foreman. cut the props from
under the bungalow and let il fall into
| the water, and eventually it was wash
| ed away.
Defense's Contention.
| The defense contended that the island
| was originally part of Virginia and
| that under the agreement with Mary
| and that, therefore. Mr. Letter was
right in his belief that the island was
part of his estate.
The contention was made that Wal
lace was not guilty of a criminal act
because he was acting under instruc-
| tionS to remove building that had no
| right to be upon the island. Judge
Peter ruled the island is part OF
| Maryland. Wallace was represented by
| Benjamin Minor and Randolph Mason
of Washington and Robert B. Peter of
Rockville. w. o. Spates, prosecuting
attorney, conducted the case for tho
state of Maryland.

Serious damage to the Turkish forth

cording to the Chronicles CORE

The bombardment Monday grew
terrific about midday. The effect of the
naval bomba rdment evidently was Sc

were seen on the heights above Seddul
Bahr, Kephez point and Chanak. BY
3 o'clock the Seddul Bahr fort seemed
utterly knocked to pieces, and the bat

all serious opposition or. the shores up
to the narrows had been definitely bat

The net result of the opera tions is

DEMANDS ON CHINA
AGAIN CONSIDERED
Japanese Ambassador and
Secretary Bryan Hold An
other Conference.

visoount Chinda, the Japanese am
bassador. had another long conference
today with Secretary Bryan. pre-
sumably on the Japanese-Chinese ne
sotiations being conducted in Peking-
Both officials adhered rigidly to the
policy Of secrecy mutually agreed upon
early in the negotiations. but It was
assumed tho conference related to the
revised demands presented to the Chi
nese foreign office early this week.
The revised list Is known to amplify
the original twenty-one articles with
three more added. When the original
twenty one were communicated to the
Peking government, only twelve were
given to the United States and the Eu-
ropean powers. As tie basis Of the ne
ensued between the Washington gov
er-ment and Japan discussed these
alone, the remaining demands being
considered as waived.
May Be Handled Entirely Here.
The temperance of all tho original
demands in modified form. 1t is thought.
is bringing about explanations from
the Japanese authorities. With the de-
parture from Toxic. on leave. Of
American Ambassador Guthrie. the en-
tire subject probably will be handled
in Washington between Secretary
Bryan and Viscount Chinda.
Although no inkling has been given
of the course to be followed by the
United States with respect to the new
demands those familiar with the pre-
vious course of American policy be
lieve some further modification may be
urged before the demands can be con-
strued as not affecting the admins
trative independence of China.
Religion Enters Discussion.
It Is believed that one of the sub
jects being considered is Japan's de-
mand for the right to propagate Budd-
hism in China. The article lately pre-
sented to China asks only for the rec
ognition OF that right. leaving to dis
cussion at future date the manner
of its Introduction in China under
Japanese influence.
American missionaries are interested
In that feature being as in possible con-
f1ict with their own work and some COM
mon ground Of understanding. 1t is be-
lieved. Is now being sought by Secretary
Bryan.
The attitude Of the United States on the
Secretary Bryan has kept President Will

In Spain the onion has its sentiment
tai as well as its hygienic associations
The Spanish equivalent for our Love
in cottage is "Contigo pan cebol-
ia"-"With thee loaf and an onion"
And this is often acted upon almost
literally, for improvident marriages
seem to be cornmoner, in Spain than
elsewhere. Spanish lawyers, medical
men, and army officers marry at the
outset of their career on incomes which
in England or France would be deemed
absurdly inadequate to their position.
Yet. thanks to the frugality in food
ard drink instructive in their race, such
marriages turn out happily.-London
