About 10:30 o'clock I heard an explosion which I afterward found had been caused by a bomb dropped In Derslngham village. eight milea from Lynn, and forming part of the king's west Norfolk estate. "Subsequently I learned that an airship also had dropped bombs ov*r the neighboring village of Snettlsham, ten miles I northeast of Kings Lynn?a favorite resort of Queen Alexandra during her summer visits to Sandringh&m?and that another had fallen on Qrimston, a village on the road to Lynn.

"If you are unaware that the present 0 government of this country has estab- T Ifshed a high standard of morality," $ said the national president, "all you t have to do is to read the recently is- ? sued reports of the commissioner gen- t ral of immigration, Anthony Caminet- c ti, and of A.

M. Ellinwood of Boston. 0 The delegates, in order that they might become known to each other, at the request of the president rose in order, told their names and the organisations they represented, together with a brief word as to the progress of the r work in their localities. District Experiences Belated. Mrs. Jackson, president of the local i home, in a discussion of the evils of f "segregated vice districts, related some of her experiences In connection with her work just before the blotting out of Washington's so-called "red light district." The gathering this morning was more or less informal in character, and it was decided upon a vote of those present to devote the afternoon session to sightseeing and visiting both branches of Congress. Following the session, delegates adjourned to the local home, 218 3d street northwest, for luncheon. This meal and supper will be served there to the visitors each day during the conference.

SOME ARE TO TESTIFY AT HEARING IN COURT 9tepi Taken for Recapture of Those Who Escaped From the An napolis Lockup. Ipecial From a Sth'd Correspondent. ANNAPOLIS, Md.. January 20.? Twelve of the 104 Washingtonians :aught in the poolroom raid at Myers Station Saturday afternoon are languishing in the county jail here today. The one whose case attracted the most ittention is that of George V. Johnson, l former Washington policeman, whose cnowledge of court procedure, gained vhile serving on the police force, only erved to add to his tribulations. Shortly after Johnson reached the ounty jail with the three carloads of ictims of the sensational raid, he tele?honed Speaker Clark word of his are?t and requested assistance. The Speaker communicated the reuest to Gov. Goldsborough asking for ohnson's release, and the governor in is response regretted his inability to omply. Magistrate Minnick held a four-hour ession of court in the county jail last ight. It had been arranged to have he hearing held in the magistrate's ffice, but in order to guard against any lore escapes it was deemed advisable 3 hold the session in the warden's ofce in the prison. "Hello, boys!" was Johnson's salutaion when he entered the magistrate's ourt, and the salutation was taken in ;ood part by the magistrate. State's Lttomey Green and others in attendnce, but when decoy witnesses who re re in the poolroom on several occaions told of having participated with ohnson in the laying of bets on two eparate occasions the defendant iromptly demurred. Alleges Wrong- Bate. "The warrant charges the offense on he 16th," said Johnson, "and I object o anything being said about what lappened on the 5th of the month." "Then," said the state's attorney, we'll accommodate you with a charge in the fifth." A second warrant was filed, the testinony heard and Johnson was held in 500 bond in each of two cases, double he amount that would have been fixed iad he not entered ^e demurrer. Percy Jrant responded to one charge before he magistrate at the session of the , ourt held in the jail, and was bound >ver to the grand jury in the sum of 500. Warren Reilly, Eugene Young, Sher- ; card B. Royston, S. J. Eagen, George tudley, John P. Kuthals, W. F. Courttey, Samuel D. Andrews, Samuel Corey .nd Theodore Carr were held as witlesses. Bond was fixed at $200 each, ["hey failed to give bond and are still . n jail. Julian E. Doty, who said he was from Detroit, Mich., and was on a visit to riends in Washington, also was held is a witness. His friends furnished he bond of $200 for him and he was released. Doty said it was his first dsit to the poolroom, which was included in his sightseeing tour arranged >y his Washington friends. Lars Erickon, Robert Downey and John J. Quigey furnished $200 bond each as witnesses and were released. The escape of the twenty prisoners is l matter that is being discussed by all he officials interested in the case. Gov. Joldsborough and State's Attorney Sreen are anxious to have the affair horoughly sifted in order to fix the esponsibllity, but no definite method >f procedure has been determined upon. Hopes for Recapture. Sheriff Potee hopes he will be able to egain possession of the score of men eported missing. A list of the names of the absentees las been prepared, and it is highly probLble that the Washington police will >e asxea 10 assist in capturing tnern. some of the men who got away g<*.ve tctitlous names, it is stated, but most if them, it Is believed, gave their right lames. "The twenty men may rest assured hat they will be captured and returned here," said one of the officials tins norning. There i8 some talk of asking Judge Brashears to reconvene the October grand jury for a thorough investiga:ion of the affair, but State's Attorney "ireen has aot yet concluded to make the request. He wants time to have the authorises get the backers of the poolroom, or, as he expressed it, the men "higher up." He is far from satisfied that the real backers of the game were caught in the raid. Jailer Weedon is taking things more quietly today than he has at any time since Sunday morning at o'clock, when Marshal Carter and a detachment of Baltimore police reached the prison with 148 men. "U'o hurl antn a ovpitinrr on.n?.. .. 1 lere for a couple of day*," said the jailer this morning-, "and I am glad it 8 about over.'* Recital of Incidents. Persons who took part in the handling of the prisoners and procuring bondemen for them are telling of the many amusing and distressing scenes that were enacted in and about the prison. "And so this is the barber shop," said the wife of one of the Washington prisoners, when she greeted him at the jail door. "And did you get your hair cut?" she asked. "When you left home Saturday you said you were go- | Ing Ao the barber shop, and it is here that you are." "Never mind the barber shop," said the man behind the bars; "just try to get me out of here, that's all I want." ! *And I will do that, too, if I can," said the forgiving wife, "but I'll never forget about the barber shop." A distressed mother told her son he had brought disgrace upon the whole family. "I do nit see how you can hold up your head for the disgrace," shp said. "The neighbors know about it and the newsna tiers are full of it " T II T* A. J. Rariy of this city, who was arrested in the raid at Meyer station.

MEDAL AWARDED BABY RATED NEARLY PERFECT Mary Louise Kaldenbach Takes First Honors in This Year's Contest With 99.5 Per Cent. Miss Wilson, Daughter of the President, Announces Winners. Certificates for Some. Mary Louise Kaldenbach is Washington's medal baby for 1915, in the annual better babies contest of the District. The outcome of the competition was announced this afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock in the Woodward & Lothrop auditorium, where the prizes and diplomas were awarded the winning babies by Miss Wilson, daughter of the President. So high was the standard set in this year's competition that, though the little eight-month-old champion scored a grand total of 99.5 per cent in the examinations, so did Harry Baly, one of the station babies, and only the fact that the measurement in which he was slightly short of perfection was a more important one than that of Mary Louise made it possible for the committee which passed upon the score to render any decision save that of a tie for first Jionors. Harry Baly received the cash prize offered by the Diet Kitchens. He is thirteen months old and lives at 619 I street southwest. Mary Louise, the champion, lives at 1118 C street northeast. Certificates of practical perfection were awarded the following babies by Miss Wilson, while the large audience of mothers interested in the competition and their friends applauded each award without any evidence of undue disappointment or elation: A-orn-rriprl Certificate*; Division 1?Catherine Kefauver, 1635 Wisconsin avenue; score, 99 per cent; eleven months old. Al> red Thomas Davis, 1170 Morse street northeast; score, 98.5; six months old. Elizabeth Neill, colored. 906 T street northwest, was awarded a certificate as the best colored baby in the entire competition. Her score was 99 per cent. She is eleven months old. Division 2?Kathleen McCormick, 828 Otis place northwest; score, 99 per cent; fourteen months old. Duncan Morrison, 311 O street southwest; score, 97.5; nineteen months old. Division 3?Margaret Houston, 35-B Washington barracks; score, 98.5; twenty-eight months old. Charles Braddock Relf. 24 T street northeast; score. 97.5 per cent; thirtyone months old. Model Station Exhibit. The doors of the auditorium were opened at 2 p.m., and. though the actual presentation was not to take place until 3 o'clock, many arrived at this time in order to inspect the model station exhibit which had been arranged by the diet kitchens, under whose auspices the competition which has just elosed was h?Id. All the processes of the work by the institution were explained by nurses in charge. At 3 o'clock Dr. Joseph Y. Wall gave a short address on the purposes of all better babies' competitions, and introduced the principal speaker of the afternoon. Dr. Woodward of the board ol health. Miss Wilson was then presented by Miss Mary Ciwynn, who is at the head of the diet kitchen movement in the District, and the presentation ol prizes followed. Physicians Conduct Examinations. Twenty physicians of Washingtor have conducted the examinations whicl have been in progress during the pas week, and a committee, which ha< nothing whatever to do with the ex aminations, computed the scores fron their records. Yesterday afternoon was the sceni r.f tVirt ci.rtil.Hrulu In OlA MCA fftr th< championship. Gathered together a the headquarters station, in George town, were the twelve babies who had so far, survived the "plucking" proc ess of the committee. Three hundred and seventy-nine babies had been en tered in the competition and thes< twelve were those from whom th< champion was to be selected. Not one of them cried. For these were the babies extraordinary, and each stniled and dimpled and conversed in the marvelous language o! babyhood. Perhaps each was trying t< tell the examining physicians that 11 was, beyond all doubt, the most wholl) desirable of all babies. At all eventi each looked it, and the triumph of little Mary Louise Kaldenbach todaj must be all the sweeter because sh< saw the perfections of her rivals ir this gathering of the semi-flnaliats.

Comparisons between the hardships, deaths and the characters of the individual soldiers of the civil war and of the present European conflict were drawn by Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim in an address at the Church of Our Father last night. The meeting was unler the auspices of Confederate organizations of the District, in celebration of the birthdays of Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson. ."Now let me draw a contrast between one at least of the armies at this moment contending for mastery and the army to which I had the honor of belonging?the Army of Northern Virginia"?said Dr. McKim. in part. "Here indeed is a contrast to which it is difficult to do justice. It is the contrast between darkness and light?between high and glorious manhood and the incarnation of all the brutal passions that disgrace humanity. Contrasts Conditions. "As we follow the track of this army we see realized the description of the Hebrew prophets, 'Before them the land is as the garden of Eden, and behind them a desolate wilderness.' Oh, it is an appalling spectacle that meets the eye as we follow its march! Towns and villages reduced to ashes; cities ruthlessly fired; unarmed citizens deliberately shot to death by hundreds; wounded men on the battlefield dispatched by order; cathedrals and undefended towns bombarded; large cities, unresisting, systematically pillaged and the plunder packed on trains and sent off; women outraged; everywhere rapine, and pillage, and plunder, ! and cruelty; millions of people deliberately reduced to starvation and then vast indemnities demanded of the people thus spoiled and plundered! Such is the picture of one army today. Now look on the other picture?the Army of Northern Virginia. In four years of tremendous and unceasing conflict no single act of plunder or pillage or outrage set down against it! Ah, here you see an army instinct with the spirit of chivalry from its great commander to the humblest private!" Others on Program. Rev. A. R. Bird, chaplain of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, pronounced the invocation. The bendiction was offered by Rev. Dr. W. T. Thompson. Ca.pt. Fred Beall, commander of Camp 171, U. C. V., made the in-roductory address. Miss Lillian Chenowith sang "The Little Bronze Cross." Mrs. L. H. Parkinson of Little Rock, Ark., sang "All guiet Along the Potomac."-"Dixie," the concluding number, was sung by the Confederate choir, with Mrs. M. C. MoNight as soloist. Mrs. Dorothy Baxter was accompanist. Crosses of honor of the ^nited Duuirhters of th? conferred by Mrs. Gustavus Weber on David C. Grayson of the Virginia Infantry, W. A.

RIVERSAND HARBORS BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE Following the passage through the House early this morning, the rivers md harbors bill, carrying approxinately $34,000,000, went to the Senate. The vote on the measure was taken Lfter midnight in view of Representative Underwood's warning yesterday that the House must not block legislation. The fight yesterday was remarkable n that Representative Lenroot, a Wisconsin republican, was successful in knocking out from the bill the fanous Mussel shoals item, which has seeii. attacked by several members as 5eing merely an attempt to monopolize i tremendous water power at governnent expense. $18,000,000 Scheme. The item called for the appropriation his year or $iau,uuu ior surveys anci ireliminary work, but the item would jventually call for $18,000,000 expendi;ure by the government. Despite the protests of members who ire interested in seeing the project >roperly developed, who said that the fovernment is not being cheated in any nanner, the House turned down the tem. Following the repeated attacks on he bill by members of the Arkansas lelegation, the rivers and harbors comnittee yesterday presented an amend- , nent to give the Arkansas river $150,100, and this was accepted. The House was in continuous session or thirteen hours on the bill yester lay, during which time nearly every tem taken up was attacked from one i Lu&rter or another, . . . _ J 1. - J ? FEDERALS FIRE FIRST IN BULL FIGHT Outline Principal Points of Attack in Suit Before Judge Landis. FANS CROWD THE COURT ROOM AND CORRIDORS Some of Best Known Leaders in National Game Present as Hear ing Begins. CHICAGO, January CO.?Before * crowd of base ball fans that filled the United States district court and sprea . over the wide corridors the Federal League today opened its anti-trust sol: against the three highest bodies of or ganized ball. The principal points of attack in tl opening address of Keen? H. Adding ton was the power of the national com mission, which the Federal league a* torney8 described as judicial, execute* and legislative, and the rules of th?> national agreement, "under which t> American and National leagues and tw national commission maintain relation with the minor leagues, were cited t show the extent of that power. Base Ball Leaders Present. Some of the best known leaders o' the professional game were among tl ? spectators and later may be called m? witnesses. Grouped about the tab'of counsel for the defendant were tthree members of the national comnns sion. Chairman Herrmann, Preside^ Tener and President Johnson. Nearly were club owners in both major and minor leagues, managers and players At the table of the Federal Leagu* lawyers were President Gilmorp i Charles Weeghman and others. Differences among their employers wer?* not allowed to influence the friendship of the players, for Manager Bresnahaof the Cubs and Manager Tinker of th* local Federal .League club conversed amicably. Waive Jurisdiction Question. Both sides waived the techinal cju? stion of jurisdiction raised by Judg?Landis, and counsel for both parties uetiaifu intrii ~. their written appearances. Addington declared the national agreement provided a series of weapons for use against the "enemies of organized base ball," among whom it placed, he said, any persons who went against its rules. The first weapon, he said, was the national agreement itself, used to keep in line the parties to it; the second was the rule regarding territorial rights, which was intended mainly for use against those enemies operating from within, though it was used also against the Federal League; the third was found in the rules regarding contracts, the fourth in the alleged "blacklist." and the fifth styling as "outlaws" and "contract jumpers" its opponents. National Agreement's Rule. The national agreement's rule that it is indissoluble except by unanimous vote admits of but one fair deduction, according to Addington, first, that It provides against competition from within; second, that players may be held as they come and go, and third, that the supply of players may be | controlled. j Because the agreement gives the natior.dj commission the right to penalize I vi. ators of its rules, gives it the pow I er to change or add rules, and also the right to judge differences between clubs and players, or leagues, Addington declared it possessed legislative, judicial and executive functions.
