GIRL SHOWS PLUCK
IN RIDING CONTEST;
" PERSISTENCE WINS
little Miss Janet Harlan Gets
Feminine Honors and Master
de Sibour Boys'-Laurels.
All consideration of technique went
into discard at the children's riding con
test at the Riding and Hunt Club's ln
closure, when -the sameness of little
Miss Helen McLanahan became the fea
ture of the afternoon. A, dozen times
Miss HcLaiiahan mounted her horse
with a spoon holding an egg in one
hand. As many time the egg fell out
of the spoon onto the tanbark. As
many times little Miss TdcLanahan dis
mounted, replaced the ess In the spoon
and hopped up astride her horse once
more.
The charm ,lay In the thirteenth essay.
Even then the harassments of the Ju
venile esquestrlenne were not over, for
he, like the other contestants, had to
ride to a post, deposit the egg on Its
narrow top and ride back. She finally
achieved this object, however, and was
roundly applauded.
Utile Miss Janet Harlan, represent
ing Joan of Arc, won the premier
fcmjnlne riding honors of the afternoon.
"Good seat and splendid hands," said
the critics of her riding, and of Miss
Carter Mulliken's. Miss Harlan received
a cup, given by Col. Robert M. Thomp
son. The boys' laurels went to Master
Henri de Sibour, a great little horse
man. Miss Mulliken a Winner.
Young de Sibour, who Is the son of
Henri de Sibour,- easily captured first
honors in a game 'called Jeu de barre,
in -which the snatching of a" ribbon from
another rider is- the object Played by
adult riders at the club not long ago,
the first prize in Jeu de barre fell to
Miss Jeanette vAUen, daughter of Lieut.
CoL Henry T. Allen, U. S. A. These
are the only times the game has been
played m theXational Capital.
A sort of horseback ,"Tommy Tuck;
er," ot "Going to Jerusalem," "was the
next feature of the afternoon. In this
Miss Carter iiull'kcn rode off Master
de" Sibour and' dashed Into the" one va
cant stall for which. two horses and
their tow riders were contending. Miss
Hulliken's victory was the more note
worthy because she had such a bad
start.
Miss Harlan Gets First.
Costume and riding combined gave
the first honors to Miss Harlan and the
second prize for girls to Miss Isabel
Fell, who appeared like a little Dutch
maiden. 'The Judges of the contests
were Mrs. Richard A. Harlow, Mrs.
Sinclair Bowen, and H. T. Oxnard.
Many prominent persons were, in the
audience. -
Tommle and Billle Laughlin, nephews
of President Taft. and Robert Roose

TESTMOMY ABOUT
JUSTICE U. GOULD
Insurance Investigators to Hold
Executive Session to Consid
er Transcript of Records.
Following the testimony of Congress
man Robert L. Henry, of the Rules
Committee, and Judge Ashley M. Gould,
of the District 'SuDreme Court, the in
surance investigation by the Houso Dis
trict Committee Is again in an en
tangled state today, and an executive
seston of the Investigators will be held
tomorrow to determine wnat shall be
expunged from the transcript of the
Saturday hearings. """
The latest complication Is the result of
efforts by judge Gould to run down un
substantiated reports that ho received
money for tho use of his name as an
officer In the First' National and Com
mercial fire Insurance'companles; the
testimony of Congresman Henry that
Mr. Redfleld, a member of the investi
gating committee, had made such a
statement." and the demand of Mr. Red-,
field that he leave his scat as Investi
gator and take the witness stand him
self. The committee voted late yesterday
that Congressman Redfleld could not
take the stand; that he was an Investi
gator and ought not to be investigated.
Tho commltteo practically decided that
tho entire record, so far as it relates to
the report concerning Judge Gould, In
cluding tho Jurist's- questioning of Mr.
Redfleld and the testimony of Mr. Henry,
shall 'go out ' - .
Wants It Expunged.
Congressman. Prouty moied that
everything after the direct examination
of Judge Gould shall be stricken from
the record i and it was finally decided
that the stenographers shall present a
transcript at an executive session to
morrow. At the. morning session Judge Gould
had Indignantly refuted the report that
he received any conpesatlo for the use
of his name and said he wanted to learn
the author of the report
Congressmen Prouty and Berger aaid
the entire matter should be eliminated.
Chairman Johnson took an opposite
view, but finally travn In to his col-
. leagues. Mr. Redfleld, naturally, did
not vote on the question.
The hearing took an unusual turn
yesterday afternoon when Chairman
Henry of the Rules Committee, was
called. He testified that at- a confer
ence In Speaker Clark's office regard
ing the' resolution for the insurance
investigation Congressman Redfleld
had urged the inquiry, saying that
companies do things they should not
-'"'"'-
do and that the names of some of the
judges in Washington courts were
among the-'dtrectors.
"He said 'that they were "paying one
of these Judges $5,000 a year for the
use of his name."
t'Which Judge?" asked Attorney
Douglas.
"Judge Gould," said Mr. Henry.
Place don Grill.
Congressman Henry was then sub
jected to a vigorous cross-examlnaion
by Mr. Redfleld. The latter wanted to
know If he had not qualified' that state
ment by saying that "It was reported."
or "we are told" that this Is a fact con
cerning Judge Gould., Mr. Henry per
sisted that his memory was to the effect
that Mr. Redfleld had made the flat
statement, and the committee immedi
ately became Involved In a controversy
regarding expunging all this matter
from the record.
At the outset of his testimony yes
terday. Judge Gould denied that he re
ceived any money for the use of his
name; demanded that the origin of the
report be run down, and testified that
his connection with the companies was
a purely legitimate business one.
The insurance investigating commit
tee will hold no hearing tomorrow, as
it Is District day in the" House. Chair
man Johnson announced he would be
on the Houso floor looking after Dis
trict bills on the calendar, but he sug
gested an executive meeting of the com
mittee which will proceed to ao iurxncr
expunging from the record.
Denies Discourtesy to
Women in Hotels Here
Mrs. Leonore Hill of Friendship, Md..
who was quoted as sa lng that promenj
ades of leading Washington hotels were
rendezvous of questionable women, that
insult Is frequent In a hotel dining room
and that she had had such an experi
ence, denies today that she ever mmlo
such statements. She says that what
she did say to the Sunshine Society re
cently was In description of a new
hotel In New York's shopping district,
with finely appointed rooms and baths.
One feature of the hotel Is that there
are separate dining rooms for women
traveling alone, and no gentlemen are
allowed to be served there unless es
corting a woman. Tho Washington ho
tels were not mentioned in Mrs. Hill's
talk, for siie considers tho hotels In this
city as of the best, with kind and cour
teous management.

ILL SINCE RELEASE;
CLAIMS INNOCENCE
Arrest of Spinster, Which Stir
red Maryland Town, Recalls
Disappointed Love.
(Continued from "First Page.)
Miss Zimmerman had eyes for but one.
Tho name of this one has escaped
those who are now telling the stor,
but anyway he and Miss Zimmerman
became engaged. Suddenly he disap
peared. In answer to queries as to" his
whereabouts. Miss Zimmerman is sard
to have replied that be bad gone to
New York.
Months went by and he did not return.
Then the girls of Smlthburg began to
whisper all sorts of things behind their
fans. They giggled as Miss Zimmerman
went down the street These things
coming to her ears are said to have
embittered her. She kept to herself,
became a recluse, and shunned people
and society..
"Poison" Letters; Appear.
Then seven years ago the letters. which
have scandalized Smlthsburg and Ha
gerstown, and of which Miss Zimmer
man Is accused of being the author; ap
peared. The first to receive them was
"Dave" Reiker, a prosperous farmer,
who lives but two doors from the Zipj
merman house.
Next the attention of the writer was
turned to George M. Besore. who lives
next door to' Miss Zimmerman. Jn a
series of letters the writer made alle
gations against Mr. Besore's family, in
cluding an attack, on his daughter, who
is the wife of Frank. W. Legg, of the
Treasury Department in Washington.
Then cams Thomas H. Wolflnger.
whose home also adjoins that of Miss
Zimmerman. In close succession "Joe"
Sleasmann. Mrs. Louis Reynolds, Frank
Bacbtell. Harry Young, Mrs. Helen
Street. Robert Barkdoli. George Clark,
and Kellar Beard were made targets
Jor the letter writer'a attention. Some
of the letters were, signed thy the name
of Miss Laura. B. Robinson, a resident
of Smltbsburr. The. majority of them
were unsigned.
Misgives Suddenly Cease.
. It was the practice of the writer to
ascertain when a married man of the
township would leave on' a business
trip. A day after his departure the-wife
would receive a letter telling of her
husband's alleged Indiscretions while
away. At the same time the writer,
dlscoveringithe destination of the hus
band, would .write lo him that his wife
was "cutting- up" with other men dur
ing his absence.
Suddenly these letters ceased. This
was about three years ago. when Dr.
M. D. Kefauver settled In Smltfasburg.
Dn Kefauver was young, handsome.
and single, and at once won a good
practice. Among his patients was Miss
Zimmerman.
Immediately thereafter. It is said, she
began to appear once more on the'
strr-et took an Interest In clothes, and
assumed her old position in the town's
society.- until it became noised about
tnat ur. Kerauvcr was engaged to
marry a Miss Brenner. Then the poison
writer started work again.
Postmaster Lays Trap.
Postmaster Jacques came home one
evening to find his wife awaiting him
with fire In her eyes. She held aloft a
note addressed to him that had been
placed under the door. Three days
later the Jacqueses made up. Then the
postmaster decided to get real busy. He
took an oath to find the writer 'of that
note. One day his chance came. As he
sorted the mall placed in the drop chute
at ine posioince ne came across three
letters written in wnat appeared to bo
the handwriting of the sender of the
scurrilous missives. One was addressed
to a firm In Baltimore and the others
to residents of Smlthsburg.
Postmaster .TaYiupfi trartvl th. 1nttr4
and found the one addressed to the Bal
timore nrm had been written by Miss
Zimmerman. The other letters were un
signed and contained scurrilous matter.
He further strengthened his case
against the woman by means of-marked
postage stamps, and Wednesday se
cured a warrant for her arrest on the
charge of having mailed Improper and
scurrilous matter. She was given a
hearing before United States Commis
sioner Hagne.r. in Hagerstcwn and held
for the United States district court In
Baltlmoie.- Her ball, fixed at $300, was
furnished by her father.
