German invasion of American rights.
Tonight the administration used Il
firmer and more convincing tone in dis7
cussing the German problem than it
has for months past
The department is making no threats
at this moment, but the spirit of many
officials is that Germany must be
brought up to a short, sharp halt. And,
while some of the talk may be put
forth for German consideration there Is
reason to believe that this government
has seen the war-like handwriting on
the wall, and is prepared TO do more
than merely talk If Germany has taken
the long step of making Americans
prisoners of war.

minority was against the measure and
made this known to the majority. The
Democrats, however, will report the bill
favorable.
Democratic members of both the
house and the senate made it plain
that so far as the administration meas
ures are concerned the majority will
rule with an iron hand.
Strenuous opposition has developed
over the bill to give the governor the
right of recall over county officials.

possibility of the defeat of the bill

Crack Marksman Opens Range At
Union Station.

Washington Star Of Saturday
The firing of a string Of twenty rife
shots by DR.. George E. Cook. ranking as
one of the foremost rifle shots Of the world,
opened the impressive ceremonies which
marked the dedication Of the new rife
range at the Union Station last evening.
The range has been pronounced by experts
to be the finest of its kind in the United
States.
DR.. Cook. winner Of both the Wimbledon
and Leach cups on the same day in Eng
land against all corners, in 1905, fired
twenty shots in five different positions
prescribed by the regulations Of the Home
Defense League Rifles, of which he is a
member. Out Of possible 200 he regis
tered score of l73. under rather trying
conditions. as everything was new and
untried. including the frearm. He used
fresh-from-the- factory .22-caliber Win
chester The sights had never been adj
justed to nicely and the weapon had
never been accurately tried.
The new range is seventy-fve feet in
length. and capable Of accommodating four
targets on each Of the lower and upper
floors. or eight Altogether. The idea Of its
construction originated with George II.
Winslow, secretary Of the Washington
Railway Terminal branch of the Y. M C.
A.. and captain Of Company W. one of the
companies Of railroad employees belonging
to the home rifles.
DIR. Cook is a citizen of this county and
resides near 0lney.

From the Washington Post of Friday

From the Washington Post of Friday.
G. W. Daymude aged AS, eatekeeper Of
the Baltimore and Ohio crossing at Silver
Spring, Nd. who was struck by a train
shortly after 5 O'Clock yesterday morning
and is alleged to have been refused treat
ment at the Walter Reed Army Hospital
by Sergt. Louis z. Fauteaux, died at Emer-
gency Hospital shortly after midnight last
night without regaining consciousness
Surgeon General Gorgas, to whom charges
were made later. ordered Sergt. Fauteaux
before general court-martial to be tried
on the charges of having denied admit
lance to Daymude.
According to Robert C. Flora, route agent
OF the American Ice Company, who took
Daymude to the army hospital distance
OF three-quarters of a mile from Silver
Spring, the injured man was refused ad-
mittance or even first aid, and it was
necessary to carry him to the Emergency
Hospital, a distance of miles, before pro-
fessional relief of any kind could be ad-
ministered Flora said:
Two men in uniform at the Walter
Reed Hospital, whom took to be in charge,
told me they could not care for Daymude,
after carried him there in an automobile"
Mr. b. X. Cannon. the storekeeper at Sill
yer Spring. said: when telephoned to
the hospital to have the ambulance sent
for Daymude, the man who answered the
telephone said that there we're no doctors
in charge of the $50 patients at the hos
pital. and that none could be summoned
until O'Clock in the morning.
THE man over the telephone also said
that since the injured man was not a soldier,
he could not be received, and, despite my
pleadings, help was refused"
Daymude, when he arrived at Emer-
eency Hospital, was found to be suffering
from fractured skull. internal injuries
and other hurts sustained when the fast
mail train struck him. He was hurled rs
feet from his post of duty by the impact.
His unconscious form was found shortly
after O'Clock by William Thompson, a
conductor Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, when on his way to
work.
The injured man was lying near the
track about twenty-five feet from the cross
ing at Silver Spring.
Mr.. Thompson notified Mr.. Cannon, who
in turn communicated word of the event
to Deputy Sheriff Hugh S. 0'Donnell, who
telegraphed the train crew of the west
bound mail. which had passed less than
an hour before. At Germantown. Md, the
train was Intercepted and word returned
that Daymude's hat was found on the
front Of the engine.
Deputy Sheriff 0'Donnell stated yester-
day that after an investigation of the ac-
cident, he was Of the belief that Daymude
had lowered one of the gates and was
about to place red lantern on the end of
1t when struck by the train. Pieces of the
lantern. 0'Donnel said, were found along
the track.
DIR. Conway, one of the physicians at
Emergency Hospital who attended Day
nude last night. said that although the
unconscious mans life might have been
prolonged, his condition was so serious
that he could not have lived If he had re-
ceived medical attention at the Walter
Reed Hospital when first taken there.
