QN.S0.-Ann Cooper Hewitt. %,
pretty San Francisco society girl
and heiress to the millions left
by her father, Peter Cooper Hew-
lit, famed inventor, made sensa-
tional charges here today, through

children, the two.thirds income
would go to her children after
her death, according to the will
which also provided thar the two
thirds income would go to her
mother If she died without chill
dren.
The operation was performed,
according to Tyler, August 10,
1884, one month prior to the time
Miss Hewitt would have attained
her majority and been free to
marry. She believed. her attor-
ney stated, she was undergoing
an operation for removal of her
appendix.
The girls father died in Paris
in 1921. He was the inventor of
the mercury-vapor lamp. used in
lighting industrial plants and in
photography. He oeveloped the
equally famous Hewitt rectifier
to change alternating electric cur
rents to direct, in a manner which
has saved millions of dollars an
nually to the electrical industry.
Miss Hewitt remained in seclu.
sion here today at the home Of
friends.
Her mother, an international
Socialite who has been married
five times, was reported to be in
New York.

Committee chairman. Senator
Pittman CD of Nevada, had in
tended to hold a brief meeting
this morning and report the latter
measure favorably, but objections
of Senators Borah of idaho, John.
son of California, Republicans,
and Lewis of Illinois, Democrat,
have effected a delay. This trio
of Senators asked for more time
to study neutrality legislation.
House Hearings Public
On the House side, public hear.
ingS on the Administration bill
will be started tomorrow. Repre-
sentative McReynolds Cd Of
Tennessee. has not announced the
names of witnesses expected to ap-
pear tomorrow. In the meantime,
Representative Maverick CD Of
Texas, will introduce the Nye bill
in the House. Probably the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, too,
will consider all neutrality legiS-
lation simultaneously.
One of the major differences
between the Administration meas
ure and that introduced by
Senator Nye lies in the auto
matte application of the embar-
goes upon the outbreak of hos
tilities. In the Administration
bill, the embargo provided for
shall become applicable either
upon the outbreak" of hostilitieS,
or during the progress Of" any
foreign war. Nye adherents felt
that this might be used as a loop
hole for President to wait until
the last day Of any war to pro-
claim the embargo, should he see
fit.
Normally Yardstick
A major feature Of the more
drastic Nye bill was embodied in
its penalty clause-providing for
a fine of 100000 and 10 years
imprisonment as a maximum for
violation. In the existing neu-
trality act, the maximum is &c.,
900 fine and five years imprison-
ment.

officers then in charge of their af-

the proper time they would storm
the Union Hall, take Meyer and the
local president, with as many of the
local officials as they could, to the
outskirts of the town, give Meyer
a coat of tar and feathers, in the
presence of these other local Off
cials. They figured that Meyers pre-
dicament would so impress the other
officials present they would have no
trouble in forcing the local president
to call special meeting, at which
he would appoint one of these men
temporary chairman, then he (the
presiden9 and the other local off
cials would be prevailed upon to re-
sign in body.
The new chairman would then ap-
point a number of temporary Off
GERS to conduct the affairs of the or
ganization, until such time as they
could call a special election of off
GERS, as it was the common belief
of a good many members that an
honest election had not been held in
that organization for a number of
years.
This plan looked like good one
and no doubt would have succeeded,
if it were not for a slip up in their
calculations. Meyer made a getaway,
more than likely having been
warned, but things had gone too far,
and the mob was quickly taken con-

In the spring and summer of 1914,
there was great deal of dissatisfac-
ton and unrest amongst the miners
of Butte, caused by the reports cir
culated freely on the streets of Butte
that the officers they had placed in
charge of their affairs had proven to
be dishonest and corrupt. 1t never
was made clear to me, whether they
blamed the local officials, or those
officers in charge at Denver. AT any
rate there was secret meeting of
some OF these miners, at which it
was decided that if they were going
to save the organization, it was nee
essary to act, and act quickly.
They then decided they would, in
