Vail place and saw Mrs. Wallis body.
DR.. Amyx, a physician at Amster-
dam who assisted the Coroner at the
inquest testified that he heard calls
for help the night of the fire. Went
to the Vail house and was asked to
look at Wallis daughter whom Vail
had taken out of the house. Found
her uninjured. Vail asked where is
my baby, and asked also of his wife.
Said he examined Mrs. Wallis body
that night and she was dead when he
felt her pulse. He examined the
wounds in head and on ear, also her
burns which were on the right side
of her face and on her hand and arm.
Said burns would not have caused
immediate death. Assisted the Coro-
mer in the post mortem and examined
the wounds. Saw probe passed

like gunshot, stood in doorway and
about 10 seconds later heard another
both sounded like gunshots: About
10 seconds later saw fire break out
in kitchen of Vail house and spread
rapidly; then heard man calling for

brough, finally to, kitchen, where they
went into east door. They found
Mrs. Vail in the kitchen and dragged
her out and laid her down. Said

Velma. He testified to finding an
empty S gallon coal oil can lying east
of the house, uncorked and turned
over.
F. w. Jared testified that he had
driven to Kansas City in company
with Vail and two other men, and
that among other places they had
visited an immoral house on Cherry
street where they remained about an
hour and a half. He said Vail seemed
to know the women, being in the
jitney business and having driven
other fellows there.
The testimony of Jared concluded
that heard up to Wednesday noon.
About i75 witnesses have been SUBJ
poenaed and it is probable that the
remainder of the week will be taken
up with the case.
Wallis Demeanor Calm.
Throughout the testimony of the
several witnesses heard, Wallis de-
meanor has been calm, verging al
most on the stoical. He sits quietly
behind his attorneys, seldom confer
ring with them, and his face at all
times expressing no emotion whatev-
er, although he is almost continually
twiring a pencil between his fingers.
He possesses strong, though youth
full face, and his general appearance
is pleasing.
The case has occasioncd much in
tcrest and the courtroom is crowded
at all times.

GOLFING CLUBS
GOONE BETTER
Chevy Chase and Columbia
Clubs Follow Fuel Ad-
ministration Orders.

Both the Chevy Chase and Colum-
bia Country Clubs are not only
meeting the Fuel Administration
half way with regard to the con-
servation of coal and heat. but are
going the government zone better"
The Chevy Chase Club has decided
to close its main building five days
a week. thereby saving many tons
of fuel, and from now on will only
be open on Saturdays and Sundays.
The closing of the main building
will not materially affect the ac-
tivities of the club. however. as the
usual Saturday night programs will
be continued and IL is not believed
that those who live at the club
house will be seriously inconven-
fenced.
Practically three fourths Of the IA
cilIties OF the Columbia Country
Club have been suspended during
the present fuel shortage as
the main dining-room, the grill. the
lounging room and other parts of
the building have been closed, and it
is not expected that it's members
will object to these Inconvenience
for such a good cause.
Bannockburn and the Washington
Golf and Country Club expect to
remain open as usual. but both of
these organizations are fortunate in
being able to get along almost en-
tirely on wood which is taken from
their own property.

VISITOR HERE.
Southpaw in Great Shape.
To Become Benedict
Early in February.

Harry Harper. the Hackensack junk
dealer, blew into Washington yester-
day, coming from his home on the
wrong side Of the Hudson. Harry
looks to be in perfect health and hands
out the usual line about his being in
the pink of condition.
The lanlcy south-paw claimed that
he had a little business to straighten
out with Manager Griffith, but would
not confirm that it was IN reference
to his 1915 contract which It is be-
lieved calls for a bonus.
'"The report that I am married is
just a bit premature, however, am
so close to 1t that 1t Is no joke" said
Harper. My present plans are to be
married about the first of February as
am planning upon a honeymoon
somewhere in the South"
Harry says he had sold his junk
business at Just the right time as he
now owns four automobile trucks and
has them working for him every day
and Is making money.
There is no chance for Harry to be
caught in the draft, in fact he has
been notified that his registration
number has placed him in the third
class.
Harry's brother, who has enlisted
leaves him with a dependent mother.

Cicotte to Work Under
Bonus Agreement in 1918

Detroit. Mich, Jan. 21.-Eddie Ci-
cote, the eighth wonder Of the base
ball world, who signed a new one
year contract with the Chicago Amer
leans, told friends here that he will
pitch under bonus agreement CT
cote declined to state the terms of
the agreement, but said he was we'll
satisfied.
'Knuckle Ball. Eddie expects to cut
in. on another slice OF world series
money, but he regards Boston and
Detroit as dangerous contenders for
the pennant.
The Red Sox. in spite of the loss of
Barry, Shore. Davis. Shorten, Gamer
and Hoblitzel, will be dangerous be-
cause they have added Bush, Strunk,
Schang and McInnis,' said the star
pitcher, who formerly twirled for the
Boston club. Cicotte pointed out that
Detroit was not seriously affected by
the draft and with a veteran team OF
hard hitters in the field, should show
championship form.
Ny arm is as strong as ever, and 1
could pitch a championship game with
two or three weeks of training" said
Cicotts.

Deep Stuff Is Shown
In Striking Out Cobb

Phnadelphia, Jan IA story Is
tod Of Joe Doyle, niclnamed SLOW
Joe" because Of the length of time IL
took him to deliver a ball to the bat
ter, and who pitched for the Yankees
some years ago. Joe didn't last very
long, but at least he lasted long
enough to make one quaint observa-
ton that viii long be remembered. 1t
seems that Doyle was pitching in a
game on the Hilltop, shortly after
joining the club. in which the Yankees
were opposed by the Tigers, and Ty
Cobb came to bat with two on and
two out at . critical stage Of the pas
time.
The Yankee catcher walked out to
Doyle and said: Better pass this
Pass htmG" .lked Doyle. who
either did not know Cobb or was pos
sessed OF world Of confidence. why
not strike him out?''
And, by the gods, that's exactly
what he did!

NOT EASY ROW
FOR MERMAID
Miss Fanny Durack viii
Meet Plenty Of Opposi-
ton from u. S. Fish

Miss Fanny Durack, ehampion
woman swimmer Of the world. 10
coming to America from AustraliG
in June and her entrance IN swim
ming events here against the most
brilliant mermaids of America
promises a stimulation for aquatic
sports which should greatly in
crease their popularity.
There have been many confiict-
ing reports regarding the great
Australian girl who holds prscti-
cally all world records from fifty
yards to one mile. 1t was reported
that she would enter the Honolulu
carnival last fall in which a num-
ber of American girls took part.
and when she did not appear re-
ports said she had gone TO France
as a war nurse.
1t has lately developed that Miss
Durack had not trained for several
months preceding the Honolulu
events and did not care 20 enter
against a field OF such ability with
out being in the best Of condition.
Lately Miss DUrack has been
training faithfully and should be
in prime condition in June. Miss
Durack is certain TO meet the most
difficult competition she has ever
experienced in all events
A fine array Of sprinters beaded
by Miss Dorothy Burns. OF San
Francisco. will meet her in the
sprints- Miss Burns last summer
set marks OF 20 As seconds and
1.o7 As in the so and lOo-yard
events respectively. This is the
fastest time ever made in open
water and compares very favor
ably with Miss Durack's world
records for the distances made with
the advantages Of turns.
Closely behind Miss Burns in these
events come Miss Claire GaIigan and
Miss Charlotte Boyle, Of New York:
Misses Olga Dorfner. Elizabeth and
Gertrude Artelt. OF Philadelphia; Miss
ThelmR Darby, Of Indianapolis, and
Miss Frances Cowells, Of San Fran
cisco.
In the middle distances Miss Durack
will find the going no easier. Misses
GallSan. Dorfner and Darby have an
beaten Miss Duratk's record OF 20 81
for Go yards. The others with the
exceptions OF Misses Boyle end Artelc
have fast records at the middle dis
tanCes.
America will furnish two starr over
tie half-mile and mile who likely will
test Miss DUrack's wonderful per-
lorna noes at these distances
Miss Lucy Freeman. OF New York.
IS one OF the really wonderful die
tsnce swimmers OF the decade. as
shown by her fifteen-miIe swim from
Spuyten Duyvill to the Battery in
three hours and ffty-nine minutes,
considerably faster than Il had been
negotiated before by either man or
woman.
Miss Anna kesn. OF Lansdowne, Pa,
is the other. Either may give Mrs
Durack hard battle for honors
