Then. according to the testimony
presented. there was another ex-
plosion. This time 1t gave Miss
Gordon a boost skyward, she said,
burned her limbs and eyelashes
and sent her to the hospital for a
time. She declared on the stand
that she received permanent inju-
ries.
George CowI, the director who
staged the picture. was a witness
for the defense. He told the story
OF the preparation for the battle
scene in which a number Of smoke
bombs were used. Miss Gordon, he
said. had to come out OF a shack
after she had sent two men to
rescue Miss Nesbit. who had been
shot and was lying in NO Mans
Land"
He said Miss Gordon followed the
action 30 She point when she
gathered Miss Nesbit in her arms.
The bomb was then lighted. but
not before Miss Gordon was told
1t was behind her. The electrician
shouted "misfire! and started an
other explosion to the right of
Miss Gordon This evidently
startled her. for she stepped back
and the first bomb. which had thus
far failed to explode, blew up and
the girls were hurt. He said the
bombs were placed from six 10
eight feet from a performer to
avoid possible injury and there
would have been no difficulty II

IS OPPOSED TO HIGH
AWARDS OF MEN
WHO LOST SHIPS

Washington, Jan. 23.-Rear Ad-
miral Austin M. Knight, chairman of
the Naval Decorations board, took
sharp issue today with Secretary
Daniels on the matter of naval
awards.
Testifying before the senate in
vestigating committee, Admiral
Knight said the board could not agree
that officers who lost their ship
through enemy action were entitled
to high decorations unless they had
engaged the enemy.
Admiral Knight said the cases of
officers who lost their vessels
through submarine attacks were not
comparable with those of Lawrence
and Perry as Mr.. Daniel said in his
recent letter to Chairman Page, OF
the. senate naval committee. Law
rence's name was immortal, the wit
ness declared, because of the spirit
he showed during the engagement
with the enemy, while Perry's name
will ever live in history because of
the skill and daring he showed ir
transferring his flag from his sink
ing flagship to the Niagara and then
leading his almost defeated fleet to
victory.
Admiral Knight declared that Sec
lretary Daniels placed "much en-
phasis" on cases where commanders
lost their ships in contact with the
enemy.
"The board is unable to accept the
view that mere contact with the en-
emy constituted in itself claim to
recognition even when followed by
meritorious service, unless such ser
vice is in some measure connected
with operations, offensive or de-
fensivc, directed against the enemy
Admiral Knight stated.

Many Cities.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Announce-
ment of The population of practical
" all cities of the country by May
or June and the total population of
the entire country in September or
October is the expectation of the
director of the census, Sam. L.
Rogers.
Population statistics of some Of
the cities probably will be complet-
ed by March or earlier. Washington,
D. c., is expected to be the first, as
it was in the thirteenth census. in
1910. In that year it was taken
April 10, and announced June "a,
Rhode Islands population in 1910
was announced first of the states on
July 21. New York City's population
was announced September 2, Bos-
TOMS. September IA, and Chicago's,
September 18.
The center of population, Bloom
ington, Ind, was announced July
II, and the country's total popuia-
ton was made public December 10.
"The enumeration is in prog-ass
Throughout the entire country" said
Mr.. Rogers today. "Advices from

the first week of the work at least
10000 enumerators were started.
owe find that in some districts it
will be necessary to- postpone the
enumeration because Of weather
conditions. There has been no on
position to furnishing the informa-
ton requested by the enumerators.

pletion of the enumeration in many
districts, and as rapidly as the emu
merators turn in their portfolios
they are being examined in the Of

ton. The supervisors have been in
structed to send the schedules as
rapidly as consignments can be
made ready. We therefore natural
ly expect large amount of the work
to reach the office in Washington
during the latter part Of this month
or the first of February, but as a
general rule the enumeration will be
completed throughout the entire
country by the first of February. 1t
will be some time, however, before
it will be finished in the districts
wkcre it has been postponed on ac-
count of climatic conditions.

CARRYING OUT OF TREATY
OF LONDON IN CASE OF
ITALY MAY BE ASKED

Paris, Jan. 22.-Italy will demand
of France and England the carrying
out of the treaty of London only
when all other means of settling the
Adriatic question have been tried and
found futile, according to state
ment made by Premier Nitti to rep
resentative of the Echo de Paris. The
correspondent accompanied the 1tal-
ian premier from this city to Nice
and was told by Signor Nitti that his
trip to Rome was brought about sole
ly by the railroad strike in Italy.
"The reply of the Jugo-Slav gov
ernment to the note of the supreme
council relative to Conflicting claims
on the eastern shores of the Adriatic
does not satisfy u.s." the premier is
quoted as saying, "but we have gone
to the extreme limit in making con-
cessions. The world should realize
that for the sake of Fiume we re-
nounce Dalmatia, which was given
tc us by the pact of London. We
hope that after few days further re-
Election the Jugo-Slavs will send an
acceptable answer. This new people
is in the course of formation and the
exaggerated impulsiveness, character,
istic of youth, is naturally present.
but we are anxious to consider the
Jugo-Slavs friends. They and we
occupy the greater part of the Adria'
tic coast and have mutual interests
n wish to facilitate these relations
We will find an agreement. 1t must
be found. We will demand execution
of the London pact only at the last
extremity"
