Marks corresponding to those found
in other parts Of the state have been
found on the doors of residences in
this city and have led to quite little
uneasiness among the women in the
city. All sorts of stories are in circula-

and the sheriff s office was busy all

in regard to the writing. The only plaus

was expected to return again this week
A strict lookout will be kept to see if
he is the guilty party.

one OF the most militant OF the mill
tant sufIragists. At one stage OF the
suffrage Tight she was spending a
good deal of time in the Senate gal
leries and used to bring out her knit
ting. Always she would be quietly
approached by the door man and told
that this was against the rules. AL
ways she would protest that the rule
was silly and would be told by the
guard that he had nothing to do with
making the rules and was only
charged with enforcing them. Then
she took it up with the sergeant-at-
arms and he put the responsibility
up to the Committee on Rules OF which
Senator Overman was chairman.
Whereupon Mrs. Baker went to the
Senator and had the rules rescinded
so she deserves a bit of the credit
for every sock knitted at the Senate
during the late unpleasantness. The
amusing part Of the whole business is
that Mrs Baker-so they" say
hasn't knitted a stitch in the Senate
Chamber since the ban was re-
moved.

In the career of cambridge Crist,

the law and music have both playe j
such prominent part that it is diff
hcult to figure out which is his voca-
ton and which his avocation. 1t Is,
however, as a lawyer that he has
come back to Washington. Like
every man who is half a man. he felt
the urge to be useful, closed up his
studio in Boston. where he was sing

coaching. in addition to making a no.
tzble contribution to the literature of
American songs, and came to Wash

knowledge to work in one of the baby

Although his musical studies began
at the age of I'VE. Mr.. Crist set OUT to
be q lawyer, was admitted TO the bar
of Boston. Mass, and worked up a
considerable practice. Then the lure
of . musical career became too strong
for him; he decided that he could no
