POCATELLO LEAPS
INTO FASHION

Investigations are the thing, and
the national capital is not doing
much else but investigate. Congress
has put in most of the winter at it,,
and have left pressing legislation
while they wrangle over what has
been.
The City of Pocatello has joined
the ranks of the "Everybody's doing
it." Something has gone wrong In
the police department, reports have
been circulated, and the city officials
have started an Investigation, SO we
know now that POcatello is all right.
Some three years ago the admin
istration then in the saddle decided
to employ police matron, this on
the recommendation of people who
believed that there we're so many
women and girls coming and going
at the depot and other places as to
warrant employing somebody to
whom they could appeal for aid and
advice and for information, which
they would not feel free to go to
men for. The police matron they
employed was a former Blackfoot
woman, and she gained information
very rapidly as to what was going
on in the city. She found good
many surprises as to what was doing
and how it was carried out. She had
a good many laughs at unexpected
turns. where the average person
would guess wrong.
She found that good many lonely
but contented persons who went into
Pocatello from Blackfoot, nixon,
Firth and other burgs were not
nearly so lonely as one might guess,
and that they could give her infor-
nation galore il occasion required.
She said that sometimes her reports
when turned in brought forth
pleasant smile and a request to lust
forget about this" She found that
a great many people in Pocatello,
and elsewhere, want what they want,
and are constantly seeking ways to
attain their desires and to forget to
try for what they do not want. After
she got "onto the ropes" and found
how much there was that she was
expected to overlook and forget, and
that from the sum total ,
of what she had been employed to :
look after, she had more time to
laugh and less occasion to work. She
decided that Pocatello was quite
happy town, taking it altogether,
and when she offered her resignation
and remarked that the work seemed
pretty we'll in hand or pretty well
caught up, the administration agreed
with her and the position of police
matron was discontinued, the lead
ing lights knowing much more than
they cared to say.
II the present investigation re-
veals things. perhaps the we'll
informed will say that there is a
great deal of satisfaction and con-
eminent brewing in Pocatello all s
he time, and much of the written
avs are kept on the books for the ,
,ake of responsibility, to be remem- I
,ered, but not to be taken too
seriously.

GIANT WARSHIP
Number Of Hits Unde-|
termined, And Tests
To Be Continued
tBy Associated Press. J

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 23.-After ii
Gay of respite cadsed by weather condi-
tions that made operations impossible,
the superdreadnaught Washington was
subjected to bombardment from the air
today as another step in the experiments
to test the vulnerability of the new style
ship and armor. Two F-5-L type bomb
ing planes from the Hampton Roads
naval base, each carrying several IA
inch armor piercing shells, participated
in the attack, but just how many, if
any, hits were registered was not
learned tonight. As far as is known,
however, the giant hull was still afloat
mad will be subjected to further aerial
bombing tomorrow.
The bombing test today, which was
delayed and curtailed by bad weather,
were conducted at heights ranging from
1900 to 5000 feet and was in the ma
ture of range finding tactics in prepa-
ration for the real attack planned for
tomorrow when ten planes will take
part.
With calmer sea this morning, the
six men who were held aboard the
Washington Friday and last night be-
cause of rough seas and about whom
naval officers felt some concern, were
taken off by the, battleship Texas.

SAVANNAHLINER
IN OCEAN CRASH
TO DOCK TODAY
Identity Of Schooner Hit
By City Of Montgom-
cry Still Mystery
(By Associated Press. !

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 23-The Ocean
Steamship company's liner City. of
Montgomery, which was in collision
with an unidentified schooner off Ua-
;nond Shoals early yesterday morning
and which had not been heard. from
since few hours after she reported the
accident, is safe and is expected to reach
Savannah tomorrow morning, according
70 information received here today.
Belief that the schooner in which the
passenger ship crashed might have been
the four-masted Perry Setter, whose
captain was killed and which was found
abandoned yesterday by the steamer
Solana not far from the scene of the
collision. was dispelled today with the
arrival here of the wrecking tug Joseph
D. Wood, which had the Setter in tow
until she broke away in the storm that
swept the Virginia Carolina coast Fri
day night and yesterday.
Captain Tolson said he did not lose
the Setter until several hours after the
City of Montgomery reported her col
lision and that thereafter it could not
have been the Setter with which the
steamer collided. The Wood reached
port herself after great difficulty and
after it was feared she had foundered.
She had several feet of water in her
holds and her pumps were choked by
coal loosened by waves that broke all
over her and forced water through
doors and windows.

As Three Suspects Are Held
Especial to The Age-Herald. }

JASPER, Ala, Nov. 23.-Threats of
lynching were heard here today follow
ing an attack by young negro upon a
16-year-old local school student, when
she was on her way home yesterday.
The girl is in a serious condition at
her home.
The girl, who lives about two miles
east of here, was in the habit of walk
ing home daily. Following the dis
missal of her class yesterday, she started
for her home, and according to her
story, had walked about half mile,
when a negro leaped from behind a tree
which skirted the roadway and forced
her into the heavy foliage nearby.
Finally breaking from the negro S
grasp, the girl ran for more than a
mile. before a farmer on his way to
town, met her and took her to her home.
The negro, who had been FOLLOWING, dis
appeared, when the man started in pur-
suit after hearing the girls story.
Police this afternoon arrested three
suspects. The condition of the girl,
however, was such that she could not
identify any of them as her assailant

BURGLAR SUSPECT
ARRESTED HERE
Police Believe He Belongs To
Gang Operating In City

james Young, negro, was the first
victim of the special police net which
has been spread over the downtown
district for the past week in an effort
to stop the successive weekend bust
ness house burglaries which have to-
tailed approximately thirty during the
past two months.
The negro was arrested early Sunday
night when he was caught dropping
from a fire escape into First alley be-
tween Twenty first and Twenty-second
street. No sign of any stolen goods
were found in the negro's possession.
This led police to believe that he was
sent out as watcher by the rest of
the gang believed to be responsible for
the long string of robberies. Young
told the police that he was looking for
a place to hide some whisky.

SECOND RIOT
OF RENTPAYERS
HITS CAPITAL
Tenants Rave AS Land
lord Bars All Visitors
From Apartment

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Young
men calling on their sweethearts at a
fashionable downtown apartment house
were locked out by the manager, who
had stationed guards at the doors to
keep out all persons except tenants as
a drastic move to break up protest
meeting against high rents that was
being attempted in the lobby of the
building. The meeting turned into q
near riot.
The landlord believed the uprising Of
his tenants was due to outside influ'
ences and determined to prevent any
strangers attending the meeting OF
tenants Several scuffles occurred
when callers on tenants tried to break
through the line of guards. One man
who said he was calling to consult his
physician, was denied admittance.
The manager, Joseph Low, attempted
to break up the tenants meeting in the
lobby.
"You talk like bowery tough" q
woman tenant shouted at him.
You're bunch of bolsheviks," Low
retorted at the crowd which haG
cheered the woman.
Low tried to make speech and was
howled down. This is the second
tenants riot that has been staged here
in recent weeks against high rents.
