Humiston. This she admitted. but
claimed that the fact that they had
been able TO register as man and wife
and secure a room was proof Of evil
conditions.
Unable 20 get satisfaction through
its subcommittee, the full Wicker
sham committee met at the Bar As
sociation and demanded that Mrs
Tumiston give the basis she had for
the charges she had made. The SEES
sion. described last night as stormy
one. ended IN failure. and the next day
the committee resigned IN body
Commissioner Woods then determined
- make an investigation of all of Mrs
HumistOn's activities and assigned In
spector Honest Dan" Costigan TO the
work.
Inspector Costigan's Report
Inspector Costigan's report was COM
pletod about ten days ago and sub
mitted 20 Commissioner Woods. 1t
showed. IN substance. that while Mrs.
Humiston had been doing good work
so long a. she confined her activities to
New York and her early lines. OF late
all OF the work had been done by
the police assigned TO her Office. and
that the information which for n
time flooded her Office no longer
reached that place. The work had, &C
cording to this report, simmered down
TO publication of the work being done
at Headquarters under the direction OF
Lieutenant Grant Williams.
Claimed Activities Were Curbed
Commissioner Woods at once noti-
fed Mrs. Humiston Of his intention TO
transfer his men back to Headquar-
tiers. She protested and TO her friends
complained that she was being perse-
cuted because of her activities at Camp
Upton. Among other things. she said
that factories where she was formerly
permitted TO address the girl employees
had been closed TO her. and that she no
longer was receiving the assistance her
work demanded. Soon after she left
for Washington. According TO Mrs.
frankel. with whom she rooms at 307
West Tooth Street. she is still in that
city.
The announcement that Commission
er Woods had deprived Mrs. Humiston
Of her shield was followed by the an
nouncement that the Ruth Cruger
Emergency Fund. founded by num-
Der OF prominent society women who
are interested in the white slave"
question. had parted company with Mrs
llumiston early in October.

of playing politics" challenged his
right to remove her without a hearing

TEUToNs LAUD PoPEs PLAN
Express Hope That Pontif's Peace
Appeal Meets With Success.

Amsterdam-The German govern.
ment, in its reply to the peace note OF
Pope Benedict, copy of which has
been received here, "cherishes a lively
desire" that the appeal may meet with
success.
Peace would come from the recent
proposals of Pope Benedict IL belliger-
emit nations would enter into negotia-
lions in the sense of the pontiff's sug'
gestions, Emperor Charles of Austria.
Hungary says in his reply to the Vati.
can nete, a copy OF which also reached
here.
Emperor of Austria-Hungary sees in
the Pope's peace plan a suitable basis
for starting negotiations toward a just
and lasting peace and expresses the
hope that the nations opposing his own
may be animated by the same idea.
The Austrian emperor admits the
future arrangement of the world must
be based on the elimination of armed
force and on the rule of international
justice and legality.
Freedom of the seas is one of the
peace hopes of Emperor Charles in
order that heavy material burdens
could be taken from the nations of
the earth and new sources of prosper
ity opened to them.

AIRMAN KILLED AT
SELFRIDGE FIELD
STUDENT AVIATOR FALLS 1900
FEET WHEN MACHINE GETS
BEYOND CONTROL.
IS THE FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT
Victim Had Passed Necessary Tests
For Reserve Military Airmen-
Slated For Lieutenancy.

Mt. Clemens.-His airplane turning
turtle, making two complete loops and
failing to recover, Wilbur A. Mong, of
Titusville, Pa, student aviator at
Selfridge Aviation field, Mt. Clemens,
fell 1900 feet at 1920 o'clock Satur-
day morning and was instantly killed.
The theory is that Mong tainted be-
cause Of thu high altitude, fell across
the controls, and prevented the ma
chine from righting itself. Although
there have been several accidents and
falls at Selfridge field since the avia-
ton school was opened in July, this is
the first fatality.
Mong was making his third fight
of the morning. When the accident
occurred his machine was making what
is known as tail spin," straight
dive for the ground from a high alti-
tude with the tail of the machine
whirling around. Suddenly the ma.
chine turned turtle, made two COM
plete turns, and, upside down, slid off
at tangent toward the ground.
Recently Mong passed the neces.
sary tests for reserve military airmen,
and was in line for a heutenancy.
When the fatal flight was being made,
he was doing advanced or stunt"
flying.
He was regarded at the government
school as one of the most proficient
flyers.
The machine fell across the river
from the military reservation. Sew
eral aviators who where making flights
saw the fall and landed near the
scene. Mong was dead among the
wreckage of the machine. Surgeons
on motorcycles and ambulances arriy-
ed is minutes later, after making a
necessary detour through Mt. Glenn
ems.
Mong enlisted in the aviation ser
vice in May in Ithaca, N. Y.

ARGENTINE READY TO BREAK
Sends Ultimatum to Germany Demand.
ing Explanation of Attitude.

BuenOs Aires-The Argentine gov
eminent has sent an ultimatum to Ger
many. In it's note the government de-
mands a formal statement from the
German government of it's attitude to-
ward the behavior of its minister,
Count Won Luxburg, and a repetition
of the promises made respecting Ar
gentine shipping in connection with
the Toro settlement.
The Argentine government has re-
ceived no explanations from Berlin
since the disclosures by the Ameri-
can secretary of state, except a verbal
statement from Baron Won Dem Buss-
he-Haddenhausen, under-secretary of
the German foreign office, made
through DR.. Molina, the Argentine min
lister to Berlin, which Argentina con-
siders insufficient.
The government is anxiously await
ing Berlin's response before deciding
on a rupture of relations or a declara-
ton of war.
According to the foreign Office, If the
German governments reported apple
citation of Won Luxburg is confirmed,
Argentina will consider it an insult and
declare war Immediately.
If no confirmation of this report is
forthcoming. only a rupture Of rela-
lions is likely.

MOTHER HANGS SELF AND GIRLS
Crazed Woman Takes Life Of Three
Babies Before She Suicides.

Detroit-Constant brooding over
the fancied infdelity of her husband,
cumulated Saturday afternoon in sud-
den dementia which caused Mrs. Julia
Mikola to kill her three baby daugh-
ters and herself.
The children were Irene, 5 years
old; Olga, 3 years old, and Yolanda,
IL years old.
Two small sons an hour later found
the bodies of their mother and sisters
hanging in four separate rooms of the
Mikola home. Mrs. Mikola had sent the
boys out to play that she might have
tn fat clear for her tragic purpose.
In a note to her husband, John Mi
kola, the crazed woman insisted she
could not bear to have her little girls
grow up and marry unfaithful men, as
had been her case. Life held nothing
but pain for her, and she felt ii her
duty to prevent her babies undergoing
a like drab existence. she said in the
letter.

TEXAS GOVERNOR is oUsTED
State Senate Impeaehes Executive On
Corruption Charges.

Austin, Tex.-Governor James f.
Ferguson has been impeached by the
state senate. The senate high court
sustained 10 of the 81 charges in the
bill of impeachment, which had been
returned to it by the lower house com
mittee of the whole.
The vote on the first articIe-that
he used $500 of state funds to settle
a personal obligation-was sufficient
to convict. A two-thirds vote was nee
essary. The ballot was % to 4.
Nine other charges showing corrup-
ton were sustained.
The governor is completely severed
from the position to which he was
twice elected by the people. Acting
Governor William p. Hobby, an editor
of Beaumont, assumes the full power
of Office. His tenure will extend to
January, 1919.

HARD TRAINING ON
CUSTER SCHEDULE
BUSINESS OF MAKING AN ARMY
rs NOW UNDER WAY
IN EARNEST.
INTRICATE DETAILS ARE TAUGHT
Bayonet Combat on Schedule-Study
Is Complete Although Pursued
With lmproVised Equipment.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-The
business of making an army is now
under way in earnest at Camp Custer,
Heretofore the soldiers have been
taught only the simple rudiments of
their profession. From now on they
will be introduced to the more intri-
cate details.
For the first time bayonet exercises
and bayonet combat are on the sched-
ule. The study is pursued with i'm
provised equipment, but it is vigorous
and complete.
Another change is the addition to
the program of lectures on why we
are at war" Officers speak on this
topic.
The teaching of first aid to the in
jured and the introduction of marches
as a part of the regular schedule are
also on the program.
The setting up exercises. the school
of the soldier, squad and company with
lectures on military discipline and
courtesy will continue as they will al
ways be a part of the soldiers instruc-
ton. With the addition of lectures on
personal hygiene and care of the feet
they constitute the present program
for rifle companies.
The training of the machine gun
companies and battalions varies slight
" from that given rifle companies.
They are being introduced to the first
steps in craftsmanship, both for the
machine gun and the pistol. Advanced
lessons in signalling are also given.
The same is true of the artillery. The
men attached to the big guns are get
ting their first lessons in the care OF
material and phojectiles.
The program provides for the 40
hours of work with Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons free for recrea-
ton.

SD MAY GO OVERSEAS SOON
Are Doing Guard Duty at Camp Gus
ter-Leave in Few Weeks.

Camp Custer. Battle Creek.-The
first men to leave Camp Custer on the
initial lap of the journey to France
will be the eight companies of the
Thirty-third Michigan now on guard
duty here. They are expected to move
in three weeks, or as soon as the ma.
tional army men can take over the
work of guarding the camp.
The protection of the great stores
OF war materials has been their task
from the moment the first trainloads
of lumber were laid down. They came
from the Mexican border before the
camp began to appear. !. Day and night,
in shifts of 300 men, they have guard
ed against fire. theft and marauding.
The national guard OF Michigan
stands highest of all the national
guardsmen in the estimate of regular
army men. Michigan's military laws
have been SO greatly improved during
the past eight years that the war de-
partment at Washington use them as
a model for other states TO follow.

TAKES l HOUR TO EXAMINE MAN
Until They Pass, Recruits Are Given
Only Simple Drills.

Camp Custer, Battle Creek-Exper-
fence gained in the last draft shows
that man can be examined in about
an hour. Capt. X. c. Wilson of the
339th, has a system whereby men are
sent through in groups of 80. and
each group is disposed of i'll about
three hours.
First, the men are numbered by wet
ting their arms and writing on them
with indelible pencil. They are called
up by number to have the various
tests made, and as each man goes for
ward his numbered papers go with
him. He is fed through the mill with
precision gained by experience with
the last batch.
Until they are examined and accept
ed, the men do as did the first bunch,
simply drill and learn as much as pos
sible If there is anyone whom the
drill affects badly he is sent back to
barracks, but as soon as they arrived
the recruits were Obliged to start
learning
Some of the district boards sent the
halt and blind for the camp medicos
to pass upon. 1t was stated by some
of the representatives who arrived
with the men they had passed nearly
every one, leaving the final decision
with camp officials. One man with no
front teeth came, another with sight
so defective that he could not see five
feet away without glasses and another
with a crippled knee. All these men
will be sent home

The state department has plenty of
proof that the cablegram as made
public actually reached Germany.
Neither Secretary Lansing nor any
other officials would say whether any
reply ever reached the ambassador. II
is presumed, however, that one did, in.
asmuch as at that time the channels
of communication of the German en-
bassy were of the best.
Senators and representatives were
told by the state department that the
text as made public was complete. In.
timations that certain organizations,
through which Won Bernstorff worked,
were mentioned in the cablegram were
denied.

of German duplicity and intrigue.
The reference to avoiding war is
taken as an indication that Bernstorff

government could not be placated by
mere promises. The German an
