The threat to throw the
city editor into jail came
after the Grand Jury had re-
fused to hear any of the evi-
dence that The Times staff
had accumulated in a three
day investigation, which
barely scratches the surface
of Wet Washington.
Mr.. O'Connell, who was
summoned before the Grand
Jury this morning as the first
witness in a sweeping in
vestigation of the rum traffic
in Washington, explained to
the foreman that it would be
a serious breach of newSpa-
per ethics for him to reveal
the names of his undercover
men.
All of these men. he explained,
had entered upon their assignment
with the distinct understanding that
their names would not be divulged,
as they had to respect certain con-
fidences that were essential before

So solicitous was Ellery for his

she learned of the ill-fortune that had
come to him.
Now Mrs. Ellery lies tossing on

with charges hanging over his head

Ellery in the eyes OF his com

from the rank and file of the other
members of the First precinct COM

trial board and always courteous
and a stickler for doing his job
the best he knew how.
Now over the family hangs the
dark cloud of misfortune. Faced
with hospital and doctors bills and
suspended without pay pending his

Policeman Robert +. Lang
don, of the Fifth precinct, now
out on bond on liquor charges,
told William Wilbur Hand,
convicted Toledo bank robber,
that he ought to be figuring
on some way Of getting out of
his cell on the night before the
bandit escaped from the Fifth
precinct.
This was alleged this afternoon
in a report submitted to Major
Henry G. Pratt, chief of police, by
Inspector Albert J. Headley.
In addition to bringing to light
Langdon's alleged relationship with
Hand, Headley. in his report, recon-
tnends that the actions of Detective
Sergeant Frank Alligood, head OF
the automobile squad. and Private
Mullins. attached to detective head.

The inspector in the discussion of
the actions Of AlligoOd and Mullins
takes up in detail their connection

his efforts.

Inspector Headley, in his report,

that in each case a policeman was

Casting the traditional Sena

this afternoon over his en-
ployment of a paid lobbyist
to aid in writing the new
tariff bill.
While the chamber sethed with
excitement. Bingham charged the

Clared it had avoided its duty of

Abanded BY G. o. P. Chiefs
Two committee members-Sena-
tors T. H. Caraway CD of Ark,
chairman and John J. Blaine (R) of
Ws.,-replied in like vain.
The hardest blow to Bingham
came from his Republican colleague.
Senator Robinson, of Ind. Robinson
denounced Binghams action and de-
clared neither the Republican party
nor the American people could APP
prove of it.
Then Senator Norris R) of Neb,,
entered the chamber and announced
he would introduce a resolution of
censure against Bingham latter in
tn eday.
The climax came when Caraway
challenged the whole Republican
side of hte Senate to defend or up.
hold Bingham's action, only to find
every Republican senator present re-
naming silent in his seat. No such
rebuke to senator has occurred
within the memory of present sena-

Lie Is Passed
Both Caraway and Blaine flayed
Bingham's action in arranging with

Connecticut Manufacturers Associa-

tary. All the time EyansoS served
Bingham he was paid $4,000 a
year salary by the association. al
though for five weeks the lobbyist
was carried on the Senate payroll.
Blaine characterized this arrange
ment as a dirty. Shiny trail, and
declared Bingham's defense mere
smoke SCREEN" He also charged
the Connecticut Senator with hav-
ing a superiority complex" toward
his senatorial colleagues and did
his best to Shatter the complex by
adding, "I do not mean to exagger-
ate his unimportance."
Caraway charged Bingham with
concealing facts and declared his
defense was merely a duplication of
the defense made by Fall, Doheny,
Sinclair and Daugherty" when the
latter were charged with corruption.
Both Bingham and Caraway
passed the 'lie" indirectly. Bing
ham first accused Caraway of tell
ing something that was not true
and Caraway later retorted that
the stories of Bingham and cyan
son were in direct conflict and
urged them "to get together and
straighten out the truth

George Whitney, tall, dignified
member of the Morgan firm, sud.

exchange and began buying favorite
standard stocks, including United
States Steel. Almost magically the
sick market became convalescent.
Newspaper men cOnverged on the
Morgan office. Thomas w. Lamont,
senior partner of the Morgan COM

told reporters the situation does

 There are some parents-espccial- ly mothers-Wh literally live for their children and through them. They glory in the fact they have no life outside the happy limits of the home. With the first baby they dropped all other interests. They in return they cXpect-everything.
 Parenthood may be absorbing, challenging and deeply satisfying, but it never should become the whole of life. When it does it is the children who are profoundly vronged.
 For parents who live thus through their children are hurting them. They are trying to make them con- form to fixed ideal-an ideal which usually represents the thwart- ed hopes of their own lives. They are trying to possess them outright as if they were in fact priceless piece of property.
 The child belongs to no one but himself. He must realize himself in his own way or feebly live in imita- ton of pattern which finds no correspondence in his own inner needs and strivings.
 His love never is owned. It is a lcasehold held by father and mother on terms which change with each year of his growth toward maturity and independence. His parents never must satisfy their own emotional needs by trying to claim more than their share of childish affection. 1 They must find fulfillment in their own work, in their love for each other, in the love they give abun- dantly to their children-not in the love they expect to receive from | them.
 The best parents are those who live through their own resources while they let their children learn to live through theirs.

 Sulphuric acid is the most inn oortant of the acids in the chemical industry. When this acid burns the slln the ulcer that follows has sharply defined edges and tends to heal rather slowly. Usually a burn from sulphuriC acid heals within six weeks.
