Mrs. Visconti, Named
In Lawson's Hearing,
Located BY Authorities

Washington, Jan. 17-MrS. Grace
Thomason Visconti, who sent the let
ter to Thomas w. Lawson making
| charges against Joseph Tumulty, the
Presidents secretary, was found late
last night in her apartments at the
Aston by Deputy Sergeant at Arms
William e. Small. She was served
with a summons to appear before the
Rules Committee today.
Search had been made for Mrs.
Visconti all day. Her apartment was
closed and it was thought she had
gone away.
Considerable mystery surrounds
Mrs. Visconti. She was once a private
detective. According to this informa-
ton Mrs. Visconti was engaged in a
case four years ago in which she be-
came known as one of the cleverest
women detectives known to the big
agencies.
Her task was to watch the Burns
Detective Agency in New York for
people when the Burns agency was
working in West Virginia in connec-
ton with, Senatorial election frauds
four years ago. Joseph Mclean, a
West Virginia politician, it is said.
employed Mrs. Visconti to go to New
York and watch the Burns people.
Mrs. Visconti is understood to have
registered as a stenographer in an
agency near the Woolworth building,
where the Burns central Offices are
located She finally got employment
in the Burns office. Here, it is re-
ported, she proved herself an ex-
tremely clever operative, keeping her
clients fully informed of all the Burns
movements in West Virginia and eff
lively blocking their movements.
AfterWard Burns is said to have
paid her the compliment Of declaring
lit was the most remarkable piece of
work in his experience

How to Select
Table Potatoes

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
following suggestions to housewives
by homes economics specialists Of the
u s. Department of Agriculture are
made in regard to the selection of
potatoes for table use:
In purchasing potatoes for table
purposes, the following points should
be kept in mind: First, that smooth
potatoes are more desirable than
rough ones, because they are more
easily prepared, and less loss is In
volved in the pairing. Second, that
tubers which have been exposed to
light for any considerable perioG
soon acquire a more or less acrid
taste; for this reason, newly harvest
ed potatoes if mature, are preferable
for the winters supply to those
which have been kept for any con-
siderable period under unsuitable
conditions. Third, that very large
potatoes are not especially desirable,
partly on account of the greater
length of time required to cook them
uniformly, and partly because they
are often very variable in texture.
Fourth, a good potato should be firm
and crisp when cut, and thin cross
section when held between the eye
and the light should show a relative
ly uniform distribution of starch
throughout its whole area, as op-
posed to a large, translucent, watery,
central area which denotes q lack of
starch in this portion of the tuber
The even distribution of starch in
sures greater uniformity in cooking
and in texture of the flesh when
cooked.
If lot is not uniform, it is often
worth while to sort them and use the

Chicago Is Facing
Great Coal Famine;
New Embargo Laid

Chicago, Jan. 17-EHorts were
made today by coal dealers, railroads,
mine owners and public officials to
relieve situation that threatened
a fuel famine. The situation was
aggravated somewhat by the an
nouncement Of an additional mbargo.
by the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad on
all coal shipments west from West
Virginia. snts
Previously the Norfolk & Western
and the Baltimore & Ohio had an
nounced such embargoes, the result
being, it was said, that shipment of
80 per cent. of the coal used to heat
the city's apartments and Office build
ings and hospitals was at standstill.
The roads asserted that the junction
terminals in Ohio were inadequate to
handle the traffic pouring in on
them.

large ones with roast meats or at
other times when the oven need not
be especially heated, and save the
small ones for occasions when quick
cooking Is more convenient. When
the potatoes are very large, or time
is pressing, it is often desirable to in
crease the surface exposed to the
heat by cutting them in pieces be-
fore cooking, in spite Of the fact that
this slightly increases the amount of
nutrients lost. If they are, pared and
cut into small cubes or thin slices,
they will cook very quickly and NO..
then be creamed, mashed, or served
in other ways.

GIRL SIX FEET TALL.
She ls Only Twelve Years Old, but Has
 Grown Phanomenally.

Grown Phenomenally.
 Baltimore, Md.-A girl who has been growing for the lust three years Rt phenomenal rate and is now over six feet tall, although only twelve years old, Is being given the expert attention of medical men of the Johns Hopkins hospital, who expect to see her become a prodigy, a veritable giantess, with out loss of mental powers.
 For the last three years her growth has been phenomenal, surpassing all records at the hospital. Until she was nine years old she was simply a large girl, but not likely to attract attention. Occasional pains accompanied her sud den growth, but her health remained unimpaired. She weighs 11Tl3 pounds
 Developing a fondness for books, she has read many more than an ordinary child of her age, and the severe test of her intellect made by the experts In that line at the hospital gave this yer dict: "she Is above the average in in- tellect."

One Good Result.

One good result of the war, ac- cording to Miss Rausch, will be to teach the housekeepers of the na- tion to use a great many foOdstuffs which they have been unaccus- toned to utilizing. Among these, she said, are various kinds of greens, of which cabbage and tur- nip sprouts, radish tops, mustard plants, and sorrel are common ex- amples. She explained that these should all be cooked like spinach, draining the water ofs and pouring on fresh water after boiling five minutes, to remove any strong or bitter taste.
 "The day may come when you nay dollar pound for carrots" " she declared.
 Among the hints she gave to- ward economy were to conserve gas by using shallow pans, to save all bits of fat and try them out in double boiler to prevent scorch- ing, and to serve smaller portions. She said she was a firm believer in people having all they want to eat but that she had often seen plates come to the kitchen with half Q meal left on them in households where the mothers declared never a morsel was wasted.

KORNILOFF MERELY
 TOOL OF LOKOMSKY
Alleged Leader of Russian Revolution Painted Dark Picture of Sit
 uatiOn to Win Recruits

Petrograd. Sept 21.-Revelations made today regarding the Korniloff rebellion elucidated the fact that Gen. kCrnilCff was a tool in the hands of his chief of staff, Gen. Lokomsky, and they also show the extreme care with which the conspiracy was pre- pared.
 The official army organ on the Ru- manian front describes how the con- spirators attempted to neutralizc the army com missaries and officers at the front whose devotion to the provi- sional government had Eeen shown. Gen. Korniloff convo ked at headquar- ters a congress of all the commissar- ies, the presidents of the army com- mittees at the same time summoning to a separate cU1g gress the comman- ders of the military districts, who as nominees of the provisional govern ment probably would remain faithful.
 Gen. Korniloff appeared before the congress of comm issaries and, after expelling reporters, delivered an alarmist speech, describing darkly conditions on the front and rear. Pskoff, he said, would soon be taken and the road to Petrograd would be open. When the congresses had end ed and the members were cnroute to their positions the revolt was begun.
