Recent Incident Shows There Are Two
Left, and They Live In Sac
ramcnto, Cal.

There are at least two thoroughly
honest people in Sacramento, says
the Union of that city, and that is
why Miss Maud Williamson got back
a fve-dollar goldpiece that was in
other hands for more than week.
The money was returned TO her by
a blind peanut yender who has a
stand at Twenty-eighth and M
streets.
Miss Williamson bought bag Of
peanuts from the man and acciden-
tally gave him a five-dollar gold
piece instead of nickel. She missed
the coin not long afterward, but IL
did not occur to her that she had
paid it out accidentally until some
one suggested that possibility sew
eral days later. asr rsN-a
3 She went back to the vendors
stand and asked him If he had acct
dentally taken in five-dollar gold
piece instead of nickel. He put
his hand into his coat pocket and
took out scrap of paper in which
the missing gold coin was wrapped.
He explained to Miss Williamson
that one of his customers had been
honest enough to return it to him
when he gave it out as five cents in
change. He had put it away safely,
for he expected that sooner or later
it would be called for.-Youth's

PRESENT FILM DRAMA
TO INVITED AUDIENCE
First Showing Of THE Witchins
Hour" at Moores Garden.

A special pre-showing of the film YER
sion Of Augustus Thomas celebrated
stage success. "The witching Hour" was
given last evening at Moore's Garden
Theater before a specially invited audi
ence composed of newspaper representa-
tives. film exchange managers, exhibitors
of this city and vicinity and people prom
inent In all walks of life
The story OF THE witching Hour is
one that presents the scenario writer and
director with innumerable opportunities
for effective scenes and expert staging
The plot of the piece Is based upon the
telepathic power Of Jack Brookfield, a
gambler. Unconsciously he suggests
through his psychic power the method by
which a political aspirant may kill the
governor. and 1t is done. The son OF
Brookfield commits murder, and the po-
litical aspirant in prosecuting the boy has
all but won his case when Brookheld
again brings his telepathic power to work
on member of the jury who holds out
against conviction long enough for the
exposure OF, the lawyer as the man re-
sponsible for the governors death, to
change the verdict of the other eleven.

EXTRA SESSION sure;
MAY | PROBABLE DATE
Leaders of Both Parties in Both
Houses Agreed.

An extra session OF the Sixty-fifth Con-
sress to assemble either within a few
days OF the adjournment of the present
Congress or else on or about May ], is
certainty.
This fact was admitted yesterday by
leaders of both parties in both Houses of
Congress and the statement as to the
approximate dates of assembling came
from the highest source of legislative
authority in Washington. The conges-
ton OF national business which has been
becoming daily and hourly more ap-
parent last night reached a state where
the physical possibility OF passing the
great appropriation bills was doubtful.
A filibuster threatened in the House
last night. Chairman Fitzgerald, of the
Committee on Appropriation was deter
mined that the authorization of 800 900
appropriation to investigate the food
situation should not be included in the
Sundry Civil bill. He was also deter
mined that the bill should be acted upon
before the House should adjourn and
evidenced a disposition to fight
Meanwhile the Senate was engaged
throughout the day with the discussion
of the administration revenue bill, and
under an agreement today must be de-
voted to the same measure up until 8
o'clock in the evening. In the Senate the
$533, ,o000 900 naval bill and the $500 ,0OU
army bill both await consideration and
Senator la Toilette of Wisconsin, seems
determined to filibuster one, or the other,
or both of these bills to extinction.

minutes after the first torpedo Where

Steps Into Last Boat.

Finally after everyone else-exce2t two
had left the liner, she took the arm gall
lantly held out by Capt Irvine and with
him stepped into the last boat to leave
the sinking ship
Even then there came from the radio
room the methodical "tick-tick-tick" of

lor were still on their Job. Not until they
had made certain. that all were safe did
they emerge from their office wav-

Meanwhile the u-boat had been heard

The lifeboats had been dangling on the
swells for nearly half an hour, some
times dangerously near each other until
1t was possible for the oarsmen to scat

the author of all the misery suddenly
bobbed up on the surface. 1t came near

Second Missile Hits.

Then a God-send. almost, in the cir
cumstances, a second missile hit the
liner, this time in striking the engines
on the port side. Again the big ship
shook in its foundation. then staggered
from one side to the other for a few
seconds. clumsily regaining its balance
and finally stood upright again. sinking
lower and lower all the while.
All this time, Mrs. Harris, who is
tine wife OF an American army officer.
Colonel Harris, stationed at Fort Du
Pont, and the granddaughter of a for
mer governor of Pennsylvania. had been
quietly doing what. from the first, she
had conceived her duty" To her. per-
haps, is due the fact that the death
roll of the Laconia did not run into
scores. Immediately after the first tor
pedo had struck the ship she had has
tened to the captains side and there
she remained until every other pas
senger had left the boat. She checked
up every woman and child as they were
placed in the boats. Here and there,
where hystera threatened to overcome
a passenger, she spoke a few soothing
words and where a child seemed too
thinly covered she lent a helping hand.

Cries of Children.

Only the cries of children, rudely

Meanwhile the rescue work went on
In an orderly. systematic fashion. As
the big liner leaned lower and lower
toward starboard. the launching of boats
on that side became more and more
