"LEAK" IN TAK0MA PARK
However, This One Can Be Rene

A special leak investigation" all
its own. the unconQuerable determi-
nation Of the Takoma Park Riddles to
coast over the new concrete streets
of the municipality, and the regular
business kept the Takoma Park town
fathers busy till late hour last
night
The first leak brought to the atten-
ton of the council was the one in
the new oil take. The tank was test
ed with water, and found to lose quite
a large amount during day.
Other leaks have just been discov-
cred through the town by reason of
the distribution of the water bills for
this year. A number of water users
find that their bills are larger than
last years, and investigation dis
closes leaks in the pipes and water
fixtures.
So far as the coasting kiddies are
concerned, the skipmobiIe ordinance.
recently passed by the council, has
proved ineffective. Its strict enforce
ment would require a large force OF
men.

ON ADAMSON LAW

Hour Statute in Su-
preme Court.

The railroads of the United states
begin their onslaughts on the Adam
son eight-hour law in the Supreme

pected to be the principal contention

railroads committee of counsel, who
will lead the attack on the law. Ar
guments along similar lines are
scheduled to be made by John G.

attorneys

he attorneys for the Government
which maintains that the Adamson
law is constitutional, and those rep
resenting the railroads are expected
to conclude their arguments by to-
morrow afternoon.
The Supreme Court probably will
expedite its decision on the test case
because of the Importance of the ele-
,ent OF time. 1t is believed the de-
cision will be rendered within a few
weeks at the latest.
Officials of the railroad mems or
ganization who are in Washington
to attend the legal proceedings say
the men are growing impatient over
the delay in putting the eight-hour
law into operation.
Expect to Await Decision.
While it is not believed. the men
will vote for a strike at the confer
ence to be held in Chicago Thursday.
with the case still pending in the
Supreme Court. it is understood that
the officials of the brotherhoods will
discuss methods to be adopted by
the employees should the Adamson
law be declared unconstitutional or
should there be a long delay in the
decision.
Brotherhood officials here said to-
day the men believed the end of Feb
ruary would be liberal time to wait
for the decision.

CROWDS AT GARDEN
TO SEE FILM SHOW
Lucille Lee Stewart and Hunt
Iy Gordon Appear at Theater
in Person.

Two motion picture stars, Lucille
Lee Stewart and Huntly Gordon, ap'
peared in person at the Garden Thea
ter Sunday and yesterday. along with
the motion picture in which they
play stellar roles, Ninety and Nine
The motives which led the enor-
nous crowds to the theater on these
days. may have been diverse, but II
is safe to assume that every one
wanted to see the young woman who
takes the daring ride in an engine
cab, through a raging forest fire, to
save a town. The heroine does the
firing and the hero is the engineer.
Both Miss Stewart aP6 Mr.. Gordon
gave short talks before the screen,
and signified their pleasure at the
ovation which they have received.
Hard Work Needed.
They talked not only of their own
lives but of motion picture work in
general. Hard and consistent plug
cling at the chosen profession was
recommended by both as guarantee
for success.
Miss Stewart entered the motion
picture field five years ago. AT the
request of a company she consented
to appear in one picture, but was later
prevailed upon to extend her contract
to six months.
Until the year 1916 she did no more
stage or screen work, devoting her
time to household duties and study.
OF a natural bent for literature ana
poetry. she has written several stories,
scenarios and poems. While this was
more for pastime, and though most OF
them were published, she did not go
into it to the extent of making 1t
business.
To RemaIn with Pictures.
Less than q year ago her ambitions
ran back to her art on the screen,
and she was induced by the Vitagraph
management to appear again.
Hiss Stewart intends to remain with
the pictures But they are rather DIFF
ficult to live up to at times" she
said. "and are more expensive than
most people imagine, as in one picture
recently released, entitled His Wife's
Good Name the gowns cost me near
ly $1,000.
@For those who aspire to become
screen artists this should not cast
a damper on their hopes, as all plays
do not require such expensive cos
TUNES, but it merely goes too show
that to be successful one should dress
the part. For that reason 1 have
been starred, whereas I might not
have been recognized so soon as q
leading woman"
GOrdOn's Advice.
Huntly Gordon, who accompanied
Mis- Stewart, was leading man for
her in all save one of her productions.
He was on the speaking stage for
several years.
Mr.. Gordon is really fond of his
work.
"To those who wish to become
stars" he counseIs, ''it is like any
other business, it takes time, pa
thence and study. The field in unlim-
tied for talented people, and as the
picture industry is only in its infancy,
there is a chance for many If they
have talent, perseverance and are
willing to take risks OF do a little
hard work when necessary"

NO POLITICS IN RECALL
Col. Spencer Cosby Coming te
Washington.

The withdrawal of Lieut.. Col.
Spencer Cosby as military attache at
Paris is of no political significance.
War Department officials said today.
Colonel Cosby, who preceded Col.
w. W. Harris as engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and
grounds, has been ordered to return
to Washington and report to Adjutant
General Mccain for further orders.
He probably will De assigned to an en-
gineer district.
Capt Carl Boyd, who is now on
duty as military attache in Paris,
probably will be assigned to succeed
Colonel Cosby.

Democrats Meet to
Prepare Charter Battle

The Democratic town committee
will meet this evening with Chairman
Hugh J. Layery to consider matters
concerning the charter vote on Satur-
day. The party and its managers are
solidly against the charter, which is
not believed to meet the already re-
corded desires OF the populace for real
commission government
The Republican powers got together
last night and tried to iron out some
wrinkles that have developed to dis
turb the serenity and united action
that was desired in favor of the char
ter. The meeting was a failure, fol-
many members of the committee re-
fused to recede from their personal
views and no vote to support the
measure could be obtained.
John T. King, head of the city man
ager charter enthusiasts and the mar
declared to be slated for the manager
ship, said last night after the meeting
that he would not decline the city
managership.

JEWELRY
WORTH $500,
CHILD FINDS IT

Fortune In Diamonds.

After having lost a. package con
tanning jewelry worth 81, 500, Frank
H. Riley of 752 Park avenue, auditor
of the Crane Co., learned today thai
the package was found and its con.
tents were intact.
Mrs. Riley had been visiting a
Quonchontaug Beach. r. 1. She gave
her husband her jewels to take home
placing them in a jewelers. box. ME-
Riley put the package in an inside
pocket. On the road near Saybrook
he discovered their loss.
The package was found in the
roadway at. Westerly. r. L. by a boy
and turned over to the police. Il
seems scarcely possible to Mr.. Riley
that he could have lost the package
from the pocket in which he placed
them, but the police of New London
and Westerly have found no evidence
that it was stolen and then thrown
away.

.PREMEDITATED,
PROSECUTION TO
CLAIM AT TRIAL
Mrs. De saulles, Ill, Is Only
Interested In Seeing
Son.

Mineola, N z, Aug. S-By way of
outlining the prosecution of Mrs.
Blanca De Saulles, in jail here for
killing her divorced husband, John L.
De Saulles, District Attorney Charles
r. Weeks made a statement here to-
day to newspaper men in which he
said the murder had been carefully
planned.
eff the murder was not premeditat-
ed, why did Mrs. De Sau1les go to her
former husbands home carrying a re-
volver?" asked the district attorney.
THAT the woman carried the weapon
for protection is not true, as she was
accompanied by the taxicab driver
and her maid. The crime was not
the impulse of the moment, but was
prearranged. Her only motive in
the visit was to shoot De Saulles.'
Mrs. Caroline Degener, with whom
the young son Of Mrs. De Saulles is
staying, at Westbury said today that
the boy is in the best of health and
happy. Permission to visit his moth
er, she said, rests with Charles Heck
scher, relative of De Saulles.
Counsel for Mrs. De Saulles was
expected to make an appeal to Mr..
Heckscher today that the mother, VIII
charge Of first degree murder,
might be allowed to see her son.
Should this appeal fail, it was said
that legal action probably would be
taken.
Mrs. De Saulles has been removed
from the cell she had occupied to a
room in the sheriff's apartments of the
building, on the recommendation OF
DR.. Gay F. C1eghorn, the county
physician, that she sholld have bet
ter care, DIR. Cleghorn said:
MRS. De Saulles is thin and wasted
and weighs less than 100 pounds. She
will have to be built up and kept un-
der observation, but there is no rea-
| son why this should not be done
where she is. If she fails to respond
to treatment and grows worse here
the question of removing her to a
hospital can be taken up again."
DIR. Cleghorn said further it would
do the woman a great deal of good
to see her son and that only when
| his name was mentioned did she dis
| play the slightest interest in any
| thing.
| The funeral services for De Sau1les
were held TODAY,

UNITED STATES
TO BUY FOR ALL
ALLIED NATIONS
Program Mapped Out By
the War Industry
Board.

Washington, Aug. s-The war in
dustry board continued it's sessions to-
day and was expected to announce
a definite policy for making war pur-
chases. The program will deal
mainly with priority of manufacture
and shipment of, goods, it is believ-
ed.
Officials have indicated that profits
will be kept to minimum and if pro-
ducers and !, manufacturers are I'M
willing to set reasonable prices the
governments power to commander
materials will be invoked
The administration intends that the
Allies shall share with this govern
nent in reduced costs for supplies and
IL negotiations with producers fail to
obtain the desired results, the gov
eminent will go into the open market
and buy for them. The realization
however, that heavy government pur-
chases will cause prices to soar with g
consequent hardship on private con
sumers is causing some concern,
