Woman Wins $35,000 Suit.
NEW YORK. Feb. 20. On her
charge that she was subjected to ex
aminations by the ship's doctor of
the Campania, Catherine OTtourke
was awarded $35,000 damages against
the Cuiu.rd Steamship Company.
Miss Dtilcc Musgraxe. our uf Gran
ville Barker's well-known actrc&scs,
who is playing an Important part In
5corgc Bernard Shaw's successful com
edy. "Funny's First riay," In a recent
ntorview said:
"There is no land in the Ytorbl that
can boast of such beautiful Voinen and
handsome men. The men aro not ho
chlvarous in America as they arc on
tho other side, but most of them arc
perfectly fascinating.
"One hears about the chic, petite
Parisian, how wonderfully attractive
and alluring she is. Why, she is stupid
beside the attractivo American woman.
There is no city and I havo toured the
world four times where a woman
knows Instinctively just how to put on
her gown, or havo it put on her by a
maid, or at just what anglo a hat
should be tilted to bring out its best
points and show it to the best advan
tage as she doc3 right hero in America.
I saw moro beautiful women in New
York during my engagement last sea
son than I ever saw in my life before.
"It Is quite different, of course, on
tho other side, where tho English
woman, for Instance, in the same social
position and station in life U3 the 400
of New York, has a hundred and one
things to attend to; the average Amer
ican woman leaves everything- to her
housekeeper or overseer. Tho women
here do not tako housekeeping so seri
ously as we do. It is really astonishing
the amount of time the average society
woman devotes to teas, clubs, and card
parties. This particular type seems to
have no worry whatever. It does
seem a pity to waste valuable time in
such a worthless way when there are
so many worthv causes in need of help
and assistance.'1

POTOMAC
RISING
BUT DISTRICT SAFE
Upper Waters of Potomac Rise
Rapidly as Result of Melting
of Snow.
Despite the fact that the Potomac
river and its tributaries In. tho vicin
ity or llaRcrstown and Harper's
Ferry are rising rapidly, as tho result
of tho thaw yesterday, tho river hero
is lower than usual, and river mon
pay there is no danger or flood to
Washington.
FleldH and roads near llagerstown
are flooded, hut this rise has had no
effcet on the lower river.
The Potomac has never overflowed
in the District .since the building of
the &ea wall around Potomac Park.
Tho water has almost reached the
lop several times.
The river, except In tho main chan
nel. Is frozen over today, and the
snow on the banks is frozen, hard, so
that only tho usual volumo of water
Is passing down tho river, except near
the source.
Polico off tho Harbor precinct say
that flood conditions on the upper
river will have but little appreciable
effect here, unless there should be an
ice jam. Tho Ico is not regarded as
thick enough to cause a Jam in the
lower channel, where the river Is wide.
Before the building of the sea wall
and tho drc'dglng of the channel,
Washington suffered much from high
water in the Potomac, but the chan
nel is now in such condition that only
an unusually heavy and long rain, or
the melting of great quantities of
snow on tho banks, causes a rise of
moro than a few inches.
Denies Women's Charge
Of Gambling in West
Charges of antl-sufTragists that gam
bling and liquor selling arc permitted
without restriction In Western States
were emphaticallv denied by Congress
man Mondell of Wyoming today, i
"1 have not the statistics at hand to
refute the absurd figures that weie
given." ho said, "but I cal say the
statements were erroneous. In the
early days In tho West, many States
were mostly mining camps or cattle
ranches, with large floating Aopulatloiis.
It would have been ImposMilc to have
stopped gambling or closed saloons, soj
we controlled them with strict laws. '
"As tho peopje rccamo settled and the '
population permanent, we passed strict
jinti-gambllng laws and restricted all
saloons, tn Wyoming mere ar no sa
loons save In incorporated towns, which
makes long stretches of 'dry territory,
and no gambling Is permitted."
