Decisions of the courts, both State

slaves were held to be property, and
while Mr.. Lincoln undoubtedly had the
right to deprive the citizen Of such
property upon the grounds of military
expediency or necessity, still there is
no reason why a person thus deprived
Of property should not be compensated
for it." Larsen said.
MANY of those who were thus de-
prived of property we're either women

age or temporarily residing In foreign
countries who never raised a hand or
uttered an unkind word against the
Federal Government during this dread

fight against the Nation were forced
to do so.
1.-THE Constitution provides that sH
person shall be deprived of propefty

legal adjustment of rights for American
citizens which we do not deny to

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 2s-The
Tome Greene, sturdy side-wheeler
triumphed over pluck and tradition on
the tawny Ohio River today to win her
second consecutive championship Of the
stream over the historic Betsy Ann.
The trim, white Tome Greene, but
seven years old, left her older rival
mile behind in 21-mile race upstream
from Fernback Dam to Coney Island
1t was the greatest margin of victory
in the history of packet racing here.
The race, the third for the modern
championship of the river, recalled the
days Of the Robert z. Lee and the
Natchez, top hats and hoop skirts as
passengers called to each other from
opposite decks while the packets
snorted and churned their way.
The prize itself was a plaque hewn
from timber of the Robert E. Lee, de-
picting her struggle with the Natchez
on the Mississippi in 1870.
The Tome Greene, known to West
Virginians and Ohioans as the Hop
ping Tom" because of her rapid accel-
GRAFTON, gained several feet at the very
start. The Betsy Ann managed to
keep matters pretty much on even
terms, however, until they reached the
curve at the western limit of Cincin-
natl.

BAKER GUN STOLEN
FROM EMPLOYER OF

offlce Of the bureau has been supplied
with his picture, fngerprints and full
written description. In addition the
Police Department has mailed to police
ofdcials all over the country l2,500
circulars containing the painters photo
graph and other information to aid
in his identification. Ships at sea also
have been wirelessed to look out for
him.
The search for Barerre has been
underway ever since he disappeared
from Washington early in May, but It
was intensified last week when it became
evident that he had been successful
in evading Department Of Justice opera
tives. He was followed to Philadelphia
and thence to New Orleans, the home
OF his parents, where his trail was
lost. For this reason it was believed
he may have shipped to sea.
Publication in the newspapers of
Barerre's photograph already has pro-
duced q number of reports to police
headquarters from persons who claim
they saw man answering his deScrip-
ton in Washington and vicinity within
the last week. All OF the reports a.e
being investigated. but the police do not
believe the painter is here.
New Facts Considered.
Shortly after the disclosure Of the re-
covery of the gun, the authorities indi-
Gated they had information which
threw new light on the probable loca-
ton of the spot where Miss Baker was
assaulted before she was shot and
killed. This information indicates, it
was said, that the assault took place in
a secluded nook just OF a narrow and
infrequently Travelled road near the golf
course Of the Army, Navy and Marine
Club in Arlington County, about q mile
and half from the culvert where the
body was found.
The scene of the assault has been a
matter OF conjecture ever since the
murder. It was first thought that Miss
Baker was attacked along the cemetery
road in the vicinity of the oil and gaso-
line storage tanks at RoSslyn. For the
lack of evidence, however, the Authori-
ties have not yet been able to determine
where the woman was shot They are
satisfied that she was in her machine
when the shots were fred, this fact
having been determined by the positions
of the two bullets removed from her
body.
The spot where the assault is now be-
lieved to have taken place Is shielded
from the road by q thicket and trees
and from the Country Club by high
weeds and more trees. This road is in
almost q direct line with the cemetery
road and joins it at point not far
from the triangle where Miss Bakers
abandoned and blood-stained sedan was
found.
