miles and miles of the rolling,
wooded country TO the west. up the
valley of the Potomac and beyond.
On clear days it is possible to see

The Washington times., 1925-09-03

In his political career, King has
won prominence by championing
the causes of the Armenians against
Turkish oppression, of the Haitians
against American intolerance, of
the German people against allied
oppression, of the Philippines
against American interference, of
the Russian people against all out
side Intervention, and of the Greek
nation against Turkish encroach-
ments. This has been his great
hobby.
In the forum OF the Senate, King
has fought their battles, seeking,
sometimes In vain, to force the
American Government to use its
good influence to correct the com
planned OF evils. He does not al.
ways succeed. but he always does a
good job Of fighting.
Gives Up Vacations.
King even neglects his vacations
to investigate the exact conditions
which have caused the appeals to
him for aid.
Two years ago he visited Haiti
and San Domingo at his own ex.
pense to see the exact situation
which had caused the Haitians to
protest against the presence OF
American troops. He returned con-
WINGED that the United States was
violating it's own Monroe doc
trine, and forthwith he demanded
the recall of all American troops.
Similarly, 1t was his voice which
was first raised to demand recall of
the American army Of occupation
from Germany, and in that, he
or N fINy NpS1
A year ago he visited Russia, Po-
land and Siberia to determine at
first hand whether the Russian
government was worthy of Amer
lean recognition. He returned OPP
firm in the belief that the United
States should develop trade with
the Russian people and that all out
side nations should let Russia work
out her own political problems.
Visits Balkans.
This summer he goes to Armenia,
Greece and the Balkans to deter
mine whether the Turkish govern
ment has violated the Sevres treaty
He wants to know-the facts so he
can act upon appeals from Ameri-
can friends of Greece and Armenia
lot FeueI from IuFklSn oppression.
Probably no other man in the cap
ital has given so much of his own
time to national and international
problems as has King.
Throughout the sessions of Con-
gress he spends more hours in his
office than any other member de-
votes to similar work. Some nights
the lights burn over his desk until
long after midnight. Anecdotes of
Kings long hours no longer get

land motorist has a sense OF dutV
and is willing to atone for the error
of his ways.
Tuesday Policeman F. B. Knapp,
of the Second precinct, placed a
card in an automobile bearing
Maryland tags. And, since there
was no way of learning the name
of the owner. he took chance,
thinking that the card would likely
be disregarded. Today Judge Gus
A. Schuldt, presiding magistrate OF
the Police Traffic Courts, received
an envelope containing the card
and 50, the usual penalty for over
time parking. The violator did not
disclose his name.

MORE ROOM NEEDED
IN DISTRICT BUILDING

Offices in the District Building
are so crowded that relief should
be provided either by an addition
to the municipal building Or by
obtaining quarters nearby, it is
stated in the annual report of
.E. d. Brooke, assistant superin-
tendent of the building, TO the
commissioners.
MIR. Brooke declares that erection
of an annex which has been
talked of for several years, would
be the more desirable plan. If
that is not possible, there are
buildings nearby which could lie
used for temporary quarters OF
District offices.

After more than sixteen hours

at want to live now" she means
to the nurses who attend her.. 1t
was stated today at the hospital.
The girl. who disappeared early
yesterday morning from the home
of Scott e. Welker. 1920 Nebraska
avenue northwest, where she was
employed as a companion for Mrs,
Welker, was found after dark last
night in state OF complete ex-
haastion, In a cornfield near the
dairy farm of William NJ German,
on Shumaker road, north Of the
District line.
She was found by Mr.. German,
who hailed a passing automobile,
driven by Raymond Burroughs, of
Georgetown, who took her to the
hospital. In the meantime, sixty
policemen, recruited from all police
precincts by order of Police Com
missioner Frederick A. Fenning,
were combing the woodlands through
which Miss Cook had been tracked
for more than three miles by drops
of blood from her lacerated wrist.
Suffers From Shock.
At the hospital today it was
stated she is suffering from serious
mental and physical shock and from
loss of blood. She spent a fairly
comfortable night, it was reported,
and is in a more cheerful and hope
full mood today.
When the police were notified of
her disappearance yesterday morn
ing by Mr. Welker an immediate
search began. A bloody butcher
knife was found by the front gate
of the Welker home and trail OF
blood led across the new reservoir
under construction north of Ne
braSka avenue and west of Wis
consin avenue.
For hours the police and news
papermen followed the trail, which
was lost scores of times during
the search. The trail finally was
completely lost at Massachusetts
avenue and Murdoch Mill road,
more than three miles from her
starting point.
In her story, gasped out last
night to physicians and nurses,
Miss Cook said she reached this
point, at daybreak and concealed
herself nearby in the thickets. She
lapsed into unconsciousness, she
said. and was aroused only when
searchers were almost upon her.
She heard them discussing the
adYisability Of securing bloodhounds
to put on the trail and. trembling
with fear crept away into the
underground.
Soon to Return Home.
Miss Cook has been at the Welker
home about four months, coming
here from England about a year
ago to visit relatives at Norfolk,
Va.
1t was stated at the hospital to-
day that she is planning to return
to her home at Bournemouth, Eng
land, a small village near Plymouth,
to begin life anew. Her despond-
ency, which led to the attempt to
take her life, is not due to financial
embarrassment. according to hos
pital attaches, who declared she has
sufficient money in a local bank to
relieve any immediate needs.
