PatroIman's Literal interpreta
ton of Court Decision
T. Alarms Motorists.

The controversy between the Dis
trict commissioners and the owners
Of automobiles who are using State
tags took another turn today when
= member of the police department,
saying that he was acting on an
opinion by Judge Harrison, took into
court q resident of Virginia, who has
an office in one of the big downtown
office buildings, for using Virginia
tags on his auto. 3.
Virginian Arrested.
The Virginia complained to the
police officials that ne was bona
fide resident of Virginia and had
been for many years and was lax
payer in the State, although he
maintained his business In this city.
The officials told him not to appear
in court and to disregard the sum-
mons of the policeman.
The police officials will confer
with Judge Harrison to see II the
policeman correctly understood the
decision Of the court.
Under the present plan there Is
reciprocity the year round between
the autoists of Virginia and those OF
sons who work in Washington have
homes in the nearby Virginia town.
and come to Washington daily 10
work. These persons are residents
of Virginia In every sense or the
word, the officials believe and should
not be molested.
Camouflsged Tags.
II Judge Harrison was correctly
understood by the policeman, II is
said, that many Of the big Washington
firms, who have works and plants IN
nearby Virginia will be hit hard. be-
cause the Virginia authorities will re-
taliate. This Is especially true, 1t Is
said, of the big gasoline tank cars,
which run from Rosslyn, Va, to the
gasoline filling stations in this city.
The persons whom the police are
trying to arrest are those who obtain
license tags from otner States and
never visit them. This method is
pursued by them not 30 much to evade
the license tax in the District, but to
evade the Maryland tax, which Is i'm
posed upon every Washington autoist.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
A BEAUTY OF OLD NEW YORK.
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.

T. VERYONE who knows New York
Il has seen the famous Jumel man.
sion which crowns the highest point
on Manhattan Island, overlooking the
Harlem river. The woman who ruled
there In better days was one OF the
most fascinating personalities Of
American history.
She was born on a ship In lT69 and
lost her mother az birth. When the
vessel reached Providence kindly
woman adopted the child and gave her
the homely name OF Eliza Bowen, bet
ter known as Betty. She soon gave
promise OF unusual beauty and nim-
BILE wit. AT seventeen she was brought
10 New York by a former British Off
Ger. and soon became celebrated In
that half world Just below society.
Many famous men knew and loved her,
among others Aaron Burr, vice presi-
dent OF the United States, and Alexan-
der Hamilton, first secretary OF the
treasury. Bad feeling had existed be-
tween the men. This was accentuated
by their doule courtshlp. and Burr
challenged Hamilton 10 a duel, Killing
his man on Weehawken heights July
IL, 1904.
That same year Betty married
Stephen Jumel. wealthy French wine
merchant and bought the mansion
which was TO be made famous by her
name But society looked askance at
her and she went 10 Paris. Napoleon
was then at the height OF his power.
She gained access 70 the court and be-
came one OF the brilliant figures OF
Partisan life. Even Jumel's great for
tune dwinded. She returned 10 Amer
lea with him and by her skill helped
him 10 gain new riches Society not
only accepted her. but paid her court.
Jumel died In an accident IN 1880.
Three years later Aaron Burr returned
10 America from wanderings abroad
following his famous trial for treason.
He resumed his law practice and be-
gan 10 shine forth with the brilllance
Of forty years before that Nine. Jumel

relied and he left her. A reconciliation
ensued. then another quarrel. and Burr
died alone on Staten Island not long
afterward.
But Nine. Jumel's capacity 20 drain
the cup OF life was not yet extinct.
In 1853 she went TO Paris, was roy

SagoIa Team Was Overpowehed by the
Players From the Big Town

The plucky Sagola team went. TO
Marinette and crossed bates with the
crack organization that town last
Monday. The boys were defeated, as
they expected that they would be.
They played hard game and while
they would like To have seen a closer
score, they do not feel at all down
hearted over the result.
Sagola was reinforced by the SER
vices az ''Fungo" Tedeschi and Lefty"
Blackhall OF Iron Mountain but the
hitting OF the locals was not strong
enough to put them in the running.
Murray and Kaufman pitched for
Marinette and they held the Sagola

THE OPERA STAR WHO 'vAMPED
A NATION.

I'VE ARE accustomed 70 somewhat
wv extravagant stories about opera
stars. and put these down 10 "tempera-
ment" But the maddest escapades
OF our most privileged artists would
seem mild compared 20 those OF Mad
emoiselle La Maupin, who reigned at
the Paris opera in the latter days OF
the Seventeenth century.
La Maupin was child of genius, II
one ever lived. Beautiful. talented,
and thoroughly willing to use her

"yamped" the nation. doing with IL as
she pleased In her youth, when still

sale husband whom she soon left for
handsome fencing master. He taught
her 10 fence, and she became one OF
the best swordsmen I'm France
"Swordsmen" IS used adeisedly, for she
always fought as a man.
In her male role Ia Maupin went 10
Marseilles There she wooed and won
handsome young lady of the town.
Then. like any gallant, she eloped with
the damsel The girls father pursued,
just as he should have done according
10 all the stories. La Maupin found
herself so hard pressed that she took
refuge In q convent with the girl.
Church property was then sanctu-
airy. But La Maupin must get away
again, and that promised 10 be diff

fled In the excitement The father
still pursued her She was caught.

Back az the Paris opera, the capital
took her TO its bosom and the city rang
with her exploits. The decree OF burn

achievement took place al a ball where
she appeared In male clothing. And
like a rude cavalier, she offended

invited Ia Maupin outside She ran
him through the body. Another man
followed. and died on her sword. Then

Her friendship with ministers and

VXTHEN we thumb the book OF his

ture then was much the same as II Is
now. Women ruled IN the Fourth cen
tury, b. c.. no less than they do to-
day.
Just as the great poet Homer was
claimed by several cities, there also
was intense rivalry concerning the
birthplace OF Lais She would seem to
have been born In Hiccara, Sicily. AT
the age OF seven she fell under the eye
of the Athenian general, Meals. who
directed her education Lais became
q woman Of much greater accomplish

LAis lived for time In Corinth. then
went 10 Athens, where she soon became
one OF the most celebrated figures.
Diogcnes, the cynic, and Aristippus fol-
lowed docilely In her train. Their de-
votlon led Lais 20 this gentle bit OF
sarcasm: II do not understand what

The rule OF Lais IN Athens continued
for a long time. Her influence was
sufficient 10 make mems fortunes al

most noted men Of the state. Her
house was meeting place for all that
was brilliant In Athens. But even so
