Arguments for and against the gi ant

E. and Edgar A. Miller at .7)1 Four
teenth street northwest were heard by
the Excise Board today.
xne tormai application oi me .aimer j
brothers for a license at 13-19 K street
northwoit was refused by the board
under the section of the excise law
which prohibits the maintenance of
more than three barrooms on one side
of a square between intersecting streets
or .nore than four on both sides of the
street, ;
M. P. Sullivan, attorney for the aupli- '
cants, contended they are entitled to
the license on the ground that they
have complied with all the requirements
of the law. The posting of a notice of
the application, he said, has not re
sulted in a single protest from resi
dents i jropert owners in the neigh

Man Who Spent Week in Auburn.
Living as Convict Named to
Head Prison.
NEW UlIK. Nov. -U New York is
lo havi a ;ea' prison reform worker
as the head of the great Sing Sing
rr.snn. Thomas Mott Osborne, who
I last year spent a week as an inmate of
JAubuin pricon that he might acquire
"inside information" on convict life,
vas named last night by Governor
I Glynn as wanlen of New York's most
famous peaal institution. The appoint
ment was with the assent of Governoi
elect Whitman. Osborne will take
charge at once.
His letter of acceptance of the post
inaicated that he is offered a free hand
in reorganizing Sing Sing. In an inter
view today Osborne intimated that he
planned extension of the self-government
and honor ss'steras among con
victs. He also said he favored aboli
t'on of capital punishment.
"If we cannot have that" he added,
"we ought to have public executions
so as to make them the greatest pos
sible deterrent to crime. You'll nevei
see me in the death house when a man
goes lo the chair. I -think there's a
way out of the law requiring the war
den's presence."
Osborne is llfty-five years of age. and
has been prominent in prison reform
work for years. Wlien he entered Au
burn last 'ear. he was assigned a num
ber, had his head shared, and in all
respects played the role of the convict
Not a single inmate knewt him except
as a "fellow criminal."
The administration of Sing Sing has
been a fruitful source of scandal dur
ing recent years. A grand jury in
Brooklyn i3 now investigating special
favors shown banker convicts.
No Allowance on Cotton
Compressed at Seaports
At the complaint of six independent
cotton compressors in the interior of
Georgia, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today ordered the cotton-car-ryinc-
railroads of the South to stop
making allowances to shippers when
the cotton was compressed at the port
of export.
The independent compressors were sus
tained in their contention that the com
pressing of cotton was not an act con
nected with the transportation. It was
contended that the railroads threw the
profit of the cotton compressing busi
ness, which affects every bale of cot
ton exported, to the compressors in the
seaports, and thereby discriminated
against the interior cotton merchants.

Death of Rockville Bailiff May
Bring Indictment -Boswell
Arrested.

under arrest at Rockville for two weeks

The trouble which led to the tragedy
occurred In the main street of Rock

information obtained bv the authorities
of the town, had reprimanded Boswell
on account of a noisy conversation which
was being carried on in a. gathering of
farmers. The bailiff, immediately fol
lowing the incident, was struck on the
back of the head with a quart bottle of
whisky. Boswell was arrested and re
leased on ball, as Hewitt immediately
rocoveerd from the effects of the blow
and was able to resume his duties as
bailiff the following day.
Two weeks ago, however, the condi
tion of Hewitt became such that he had
to give up his work, and last Tuesday
he was removed to the hospital in this
city. He was operated on last Tues
day afternoon, and for a while showed
slight signs of recovery.
Boswell, who lives at Glenwood. Md.,
was rearrested at the time Hewitt's
condition changed for the worse, and
has been in eu&tody at the Rockville
jail ever since.
Hewitt wan a son of the late Richard
Hewitt, a prominent resident of Rock
ville. Besides his wife, two sons and
two daughters, Hewitt is survived by
his mother and several brothers and
sisters, one of his brothers being P. L.
Hewitt, of Silver Spring.

German Soldiers Form Choral Society to Relieve
Monotony of War Sing in Old French Church
at Tiacourt as Comrades Weep.
, WITH THE LEFT WING OF THE GERMAN
ARMY, TIACOURT, France, Oct. 19 (by courier to Rot
terdam). This is a story of the men who form one of the
great human slaughter machines of "Europe in Tears." It
is a story of how the real human hearts of men, whose
chief occupation now is to kill, showed through their eyes
as they sang of home and loved ones.
A story has been cabled of the "Gesangverein," or
choral society, which has been organized by the Germans
in "one of the trenches north of Toul to relieve the monot
ony of the hours and days. Most of their singing is done
in the deep,'black trench.
SOLDIERS IN CHOIR LOFT.
There is the dense fog, the gray,
ghost-1'ke figures of the soldiers; rifles
ready for instant use rest across the
protecting ridge of earth, pointed to
ward the enemy's line only 600 yards
away. ,Thc stillness is broken only by
the booming of artillery in the distance
and then song wells forth from the
men whose voicc3 may soon be stilled
forever.
But today the "Gesangverein" sang in
j the old French Church at Tiacourt. The
company had just come in for a rest
after several days and nights in the
trenches. There was a soft dim light ,
In the old church. The "singing so
ciety" of soldiers stood in the choir
loft. Other soldiers and officers sat on
wooden bench-liko news. Scores of
soldiers stood in the aisles. j
There was Intense silence, then the
musical director raised his baton.
"It is the day of the Lord." welled
out in rich musical tones. It was sung
with tho deepest feeling. As the an
them swelled forth a religious fervor
shone in the faces of the soldiers.
Among those in the pews and standing
In the aisles, hands were clasped,
heads bowed lips moved in silent
prayer.
The anthem is ended. There Is a mo
ment of Impressive silence and the
soldier voices ring out in "Dear father
land, my beloved fatherland."
Heads are raised, shoulders squared.
Patriotic exaltation comes into the
faces the love of country for which
they are sacrificing their lives. Again
the music ceases and once more the
leader raises his baton for the next
song. It is "Meine Heimat Is An Dem
Schoenen Rhein." (My Home Is on the
Beautiful Rhine.")
Strikes Heart Chord.
It sweeps softly through the church.
There is a movement among the sol
diers. Tho heart-chord has been struck.
Chins drop on breasts, faces soften, the
patriotic fire in tho eyes disappears be
fore a softer, gentler gleam.
A French woman, leading two little
children by the hand, comes up the
aisle from the door and kneels in front
of the dark altar. A boldier at the
end of the bench leans over and touches
the hair of the little girl with his lips.
Two great tears roll down tho beard
ed cheek of a soldier near by. He is
struggling with some great emotion.
His arms are partly outstretched as if
reaching to clasp some one in them. In
his eyes there is the expression of the
tnoHt intense longing man ma know
the longing for home and lovfd ones.
With the bock of his rough hand he
hrushes away the tears.
"Never, never, will I see my home:
j never will I see them again It tells me
j .so." he sottly whispers. "Oh, God. pro
tect them when I am no more."
Tenderly he caresses something that
seems to wrap itself around his finger.
In the dim light it looks like a lock of
hair He raises it to his iips again and
again.

dress Congressional Union.
Miss Mary Swain Wagner, of Pough
keepsie. N. T., is to be one of the
speakers at the tea. to be given at the
Congressional Union headquarters Sun
day afternoon, in honor of Miss Mabel
Vernon, the newly returned campaigner
from Nevada. Miss Wagner was a dele
gate from the New York State Suffrage
Association to the national convention
at Nashville, and ia spending a few
days in Washington as a guest of the
union.
While Mis3 Wagner attended the con
vention as a delegate from one of the
organizations making up the national
body, she Is also a member of the Con
gressional Union and heartily in. sym
pathy with the work of the latter or
ganization, which is concentrating iti
efforts in behalf of the Briatow-Mon-dell
amendment, while the national as
sociation is supporting all national suf
iraglst legislation.
"My principal reason for stopping
over in Washington," said Miss Wag
ner this morning, "was to see If I could
get at the bottom of this difference be
tween tho two organizations and try
to deviso some p an to bring about
ppace. If wo are going to accomplish
anything, we should all work together
and not pull in different directions, as
we are doing "at present.''
Miss Wagner expressed herself per
sonally as being in favor of the Bristow
Mondell resolution, and regrets that the
national association would not agree to
concentrate their efforts on its passage.
"I think we shou d, all work for some
one amendment and not divide our ef
forts between several the way the na
tional association is now doing," said
she, "and so far as I can see tho Bris-tow-Mondell
amendment is the one that
w would have the best chance of get
ting through."

The Light is Turned on to a
Subject of Darkness.
The mere fact that S. S. S., the famous
blood purifier, drives out disease is
world's story, a topic of conversation
whcrtTcr men get together.
They wonder why, simply because nose
remedies are mystified and put before
them as "discoveries." The facts are
that we pay too much attention to possi
bilities and not enough to real, home
spun accomplishment. S. S. S. Is a rem
edy cf our fathers. It has a history
that is written deeply In men's minda
because it has done the work, driven out
deep heated disease, revived hope, ut
the O. K. on appearance and clamped
down tight any effort of germs to get
the upper hand. Any sore spot on the
skin is r.n immediate demand for S. S. S.
since the first principle of this famous
remedy Is to slrifce out for places of
trouble. Tbl3 Is a physiological fact and
S. S. S. is true to the workings cf our
body.
Get a bottle cf S. S. S. today Lt any
druss'st and begin blood health. It
will master -cy blood disease and do it
