as the automobile carefully threaded
its way round the circle. "1 cannot

He was peering about him as he
spoke.

after a pause. Many of the cars
have been stopped by the rays. The

The guns of the first battery had
been disposed in the streets of the
heights running east and west, and
the damage to the houses about them
was terrific. We were spared the
sight of dead or wounded men, for al

Back again at the corner OF the
Treasury, we found d party of ma
rines coming down New York avenue
to the smashed street cars. Close ex-
animation showed that the damage
was not so extensive as at first had
appeared. To me it seemed that the
passengers of the cars were victims of
the gas more than of the collision,
though blood was to be seen here and
there. But the sight nearly un-
manned the President. He sat with
his face in his cupped hands. and did
not look up until we reached the
circle outside Union Station.
Troops and sailors were at work
among the wreckage here, and the
Red Cross vans were standing by.
Several street cars had been in col
ltston, and one lay upon the sidewalk
in Massachusetts avenue. The most
of the trouble had come from automo-
biles running amuck But though
the scene appeared dreadful, it was
obvious that the greater number of

little else. Numbers of people had

Use Wonderful New Aniseptic

We are calling the attention of
the good people of Washington and
vicinity to Kojene. the most power
full, non-poisonous, alcoholic
Irritating Antiseptic known.
In this newspaper we will con-
tinue to tell the people, and espe-
cially the ailing people, to whom
Kojene will prove a blessing, just
exactly what physical ills 1t will
help, and in spite of our enthus-
iasm for this wonderful antiseptic
will stick to the truth in every
statement we make.
We Will not exaggerate-althou
some of the things we write may
seem exaggerated.
Nothing equals Kojene for irrita-
ton of the antrum; for Pyorrhea

Trench Mouth, pus pockets and all
cases of infection.
koJene, so we will tell more peo-
pie who need it, is four times as
powerful as an antiseptic than Car

full than poisonous bichloride of

There did not seem to be one whole
pane in the entire district. The front
of one high tenement had fallen clean
into the street, exposing all the front
rooms. There was something terribly
pitiful in the spectacle of these rooms,
all so different in their homely de-
tails. In one piano stood close to
the exposed edge of the broken floor,
a piece of music open upon its stand
and the flap of the keyboard up. In
another a table stood set for a mid
day meal, with all the plates and
glasses In neat array and undisturbeo.
A tiny kitchen had some fiimsy gar
ments on a line from one wall to an
other, and 1T was strange to mark
how these had escaped the force of

$4,000, was still in a cell this

duced to $1,000. No information
was given out at police headquar-

but It Is understood that he Is re-
garded as the leader of gang OF
men who have been In several hi

In one Of the wtiskey stealing
incidents there have been seven ar

refreshments. lie said that both
hart"ndcrs were members OF the So
ciety and were giving the liquor to
members only, no charge being
made for the drinks. Admission to
the dance was 35 cents, but only
members could get the liquor, ulan
said. Tho police took the liquor and
arrested him.
During the arguments on the case,
a number of hypothetical situations
that come under the case were pro-
pounded. One was that the city, ia
chartered organization composed of
its citizens, could take money from
the treasury purchase a supply Of
liquor, and announce that all resi-
dents OF the city could have a drink
by calling at the city clerks office
at a certain time. Another was that
