disgrace than she was OF the Judge

making the words come.
Sent Back Home.
Ralph Given, the prosecutor. was
moved by the girls story. and asked
the court not to send her to Jail, even
though she was guilty OF the charge,
inasmuch as she stayed at the flat
after she knew what was what.
The Judge had no desire to send
her to the workhouse among a lot
of hardened women.
The probation officer was called
and the girl was placed in his charge,
with the understanding that she was
to be allowed to go back to her board :
ing house in Lynchburg. a sadder but
much wiser little woman.
As for the man, he Is out on bond,
The police allege that he has a wife
living in this city. The Florida police

him, and were going to keep him.

The "Westwego" battle was the sec

ment yesterday. In the first made
public an unnamed American de-
stroyer. acting as convoy. maneu-
vered so handsomely and with ap-
parenhy such good effect that a let
ter of praise was ELECTED from the
British admiralty. The fourth explo-
sion of a depth bomb by this vessel
rewarded her with a Widespread boil
ing of the surface of the sea, large
bubbles and, at last, a heavy film OF
oil"
These are considered the most GER
tain signs of the destruction of a
U-boat yet received. The work OF
the destroyer was a revelation in abil-
tty to maneuver. This vessel raced
for a mile across the sea, then, after
crossing the submarines wake, turn
ed on her heel and three times re-
peated the maneuver-aI within the
space of twenty-five minutes.
This encounter is one OF a number
ported to the department by Admiral
Sims, and which will be made public
from time to time after the experts
of the department have studied them.
The report that a number OF mer-
chantmen were ''in sight" indicating
that the destroyer was engaged In
convoy work. The statement says:
THE first intimation Of the attack
which the Westwego received was the
torpedoing of a merchantmen some
distance away. The propeller and
rudder of This ship were blown away
and there was large hole in the
stern. She was afterward towed into
port.
Almost at the same time a tanker
was struck squarely amidships by a
torpedo. This ship sank rapidly. Up
TO this time no one on the Westwego
had seen a periscope"

The Evolution of a Cartridse Case.

Nearly every one knows what a

schold, N. E, in an illustrated article
in the August Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
Just consider the metamorpbosis OF

three inches in diameter and consid-

about three-eighths inch thick, and
therefrom may be manufactured a
cartridge case J. inches long and OF
the proper diameter to hold an Is

brass disk less than six inches IN

Municipal Ownership Bills

Scoring actions of President King,
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company. for conditions surround
ing the strike of his employees last
spring. the special Senatorial commit
tee Investigating the strike yesterday
returned to the Senate a report OF the
proceedings.
Mr.. King is grilled in a statement
Of twa&members accompanying the
reporpof the committee. and is given
the bIsrue for the strike.
The aconnittee which returned the
verdict Z Is composed of Senators
Hughes. Pittman, King, Jones, of
Washington. and johnson, of Califor-
MIA Senator Hughes was the only
one Of the committee who did not
take an active part in the proceed
ings. az he was i'll during the greater
part OF the time when the hearin 9
was going on
An lean toward municipal owner

ington.
In the separate statement of Sena-
tors Jones and johnson, which accom-
panies the report, and which repre-
sents the feeling OF practically one
half Of the committee since one OF
the members was absent, President
King is scored as follows:
The cause Of the strike was Clar-
ence P. King. primarily, as the presi-
dent and representative Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric, Com
pany.
To Ask City Ownership.
"If any power existed whereby we
could require or compel the company
TO take back its employees. we would
exercise It. II any appeal from us
could accomplish that result. we
would and do make such an appeal to
the company. We earnestly hope that
as vacancies occur they may be filled
by old employees"
Continuing. the statement said:
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company broke the strike. and
possibly destroyed the union, but it
did II at a cost financially OF some
hundreds Of thousands of dollars, and
at a cost. too, that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company can
never repay to the District of Column
bia and the city of Washington. and
in a fashion in which they can never
repair the injury done to many inno-
cent people"
AS a result OF the investigation two
bills will be introduced when Congress
meets in December. One Of these will
provide for government ownership
and operation of all of the stree: rail-
way in the District of Columbia. The
other will provide for rigid control
Of all Of the street railway lines by

Speaks Three Hours.
Senator La Toilette spoke for three
hours. At first his voice was low and
indistinct As he proceeded. the actor
in him came to the rescue and he in
tected heat and force into his De-
livery.
1t would be folly to argue that the
WORDS OF La Toilette were stupid; IL
Is the very skill with which he intro
duced them that render them so dis
| tasteful to those who are heart and
| soul in support of the nation in the
present crisis. Nine-tenths of what
he said was true, and it gave the ia
lacious one-tenth which was hostile
to the interests of the country, and
| which stepped close to the brink of
| treason, the similitude of truth.
'Since the declaration Of war" he
said. ''the triumphant war party has
/ pursued those Senators and Repre-
| sentatives who voted against war with
malicious falsehood and recklessly IL
belous attacks, going to the extreme
limit of charging them with treason
against their country"
'It was not alone members Of Com
gress that the war party has sought
to intimidate.
1.-The mandate has gone forth" he
said, ito the sovereign people OF this
country that they must be silent while
those things are being done by their
government which most vitality con-
cern their well being. happiness and
lives"
No Action Taken.
Honest and law-abiding citizens
were being "terrorized and outraged
In their rights" by those sworn to
uphold the laws. People are being
unlawfully arrested and kept incom-
municado. according to numerous
afridavits," he said he held. Private
residences were being invaded and
loyal citizens of undoubted integ-
rity and probity arrested and cross
examined. and the most sacred rights
guaranteed to every American citi-
zen are being continually violated"
according TO the Senator from Wis
consin.
At this point Mr. la Toilette
reached his point touching on Pres
idential usurpation OF power. and
what he said was Congressional abro-
cation of its own prorogatives.
No action was taken upon La
Follette's case before adjournment
for hearings are to be held by the,
subcommittee OF the Committee on
Rules and Privileges OF which Sen
ator Pomerene. of Ohio. is chairman,

the columns she noticed an ad for
a housekeeper. She had had expert
ence at housekeeping when her mother
was living.
Immediately she wrote, gave a de-

her prospective employer that she
wanted a home and not a boarding
house. She received an answer a few
days later from John F. Gaylard. a
laundry engineer. a man living alone
with his little daughter in a fiat on
Twenty-first street northwest.
Comes to Capital.
He did not tell her that his wife was
suing him for separate maintenance,
and had refused to live with him. He
asked her for her picture. She sent
it to him, and later came on TO Wash

A week later she was quite a diff

and go back TO her friends. There
was nothing to do. she thought. but
to keep on the way she was going.
The police were watching Gaylard.

He didn't want her to get scared and
leave him. Friday evening Lieut..
