CAVALRY "Pulaski's Legion," Famous in War for Independence, Fought Val iantly America "Shows Grati tude by Fine Monuments, WASHINGTON, May li President Taft today paid tribute to the foreign soldiers who helped the United States win Independence. He attended the inveilinf? of the statues of Pulaski and Kosciusko, the former at Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, and the latter In Lafayette Square. Mr. Taft delivered the eulosry at the Pul aski statue, while Secretary Dickinson was the principal speaker at the Kos ciusko ceremonies. The President said: "It is idle to speculate what .might have happened In the War of the Revo lution had we not been assisted by foreign nations and subjects of foreign countries. It is . sufficient for us that those who assisted us in that struggle contributed materially to our success. "Hence to Lafayette, to Rochambeau, to- Von Steuben, to DeKalb, to Pulaski, to Kosciusko, and to others, it is fit ting: that there be erected monuments like this, that it may be understood America Is ftrateful and holds in sweet memory those who came to her in her hour of danger and distress. "When Count Pulaski came here the American Army practically had no cavalry and to him, with the permis sion of Washington and with the vote of Congress, was turned over the ques tion of the organization of a cavalry force. Subsequently, organizing an inde pendent legion known as "Pulaski's Legion," he fought his way from north to south until finally, after taking part In the campaign about Charleston, he .lost his life in a brilliant charge at the siege of Savannah.. "Chivalric and of knightly form, brave, dashing, courageous, but gentle as a woman, sweet In all the associa tions of life, there hangs about bim all the romance of ancient knighthood. "Could he have looked forward to the coming to this country of 3.000,ono of his Polish fellow citizens, could he have seen them take their honorable part in the American electorate, could he have seen the welcome they have re ceived, the prosperity they have aided, the strength they have given to this country, and the happiness they have found under the Starry Banner he labored to make triumphant, he would Indeed have felt his labors were not in vain." STORK OF DEATH TOLD STATE'S STAR AVITXESS TESTI FIES IX PEPOOX CASE. lraniatic Kecltal of Dead AVoman's Companion Impressive AVhcn Heard in Curt, SPOKAXE. Wash.. May 12. (Spe cial. A special from Colville, Wash., Bays: Massip Downs, star witness, was the sensation of the day in the Pepoon trial. Tills robust young woman, 22 years old and the mother of six fine children, told a plain unvarnished tale of Edith Pepoon's death in a fashion that was Impressive and thrilling from Its very directness and simplicity. The utmost efforts of the defense failed to shake her testimony in any degree whatever, 'and her contribution to the coil which the state Is winding about Ueorge Pepoon is one of its strongest parts. Mort Crossan. one of the most pic turesque figures in the case, was also an exceptionally good witness and is important from the evident intention of the defense to impeach him. If not to show that he might have been guilty of the crime. A startling thing about Crossan's testimony was his offer to identify a bottle found by Mrs. Woleott in the dresser in the Pepoon house as the fame bottle in which he had left a quantity of strychnine used to poison gophers in a place known only to him and Pepoon. He will do this, he says, by marks in the glass of the bottle and cork. Mrs. Downs' story of the tragedy follows: "Kdith came staggering into the kitchen, saying she had an awful Jag on. Roy Wilcox had just taken a drlnlc of water and was waiting for her with a dipperful of water. He gave her a big drink and she staggered back again. She said. "Get me outside.' "Mr. Pepoon offered to help her, but she said. 'Go away, you devil.' "I said, "Will you let me help yon!" She said, 'Yes,' and we carried her outdoors. "Roy Wilcox carried her. by the head and shoulders, and I carried her by the knees. We put her in the rocking-chair and she had three convul sions. They lasted two or three min utes. She rallied a little after the first spasm, and said. "Oil. please don't let me go.' then went into a worse one and finally died in the third convulsion."

WATER ROUTES CUT RATES WaffOiunakera Tenld Reparation by Interstate Commission. TV AS FTT NOT OK, May 12. Th Tntr ttt4 Coxrunarc OommUiion today de cided that water competition forced down rates from interior points to the Pacific Coast terminals. . The situation was peculiar in the case in point. Carriers had increased, the rates on farm and dump wagons from Missouri River territory to the Pacific Coast from $1.25 a hundred pounds to $1.35, the rea son announced being that the former rate was abnormally low. Subsequently, it was discovered wagons were being moved to t he Pa ci fi c Coas t term inal s by water and the $1.25 rate was restored. The res toration of the rate induced the Ken tucky Wagon Manufacturing Company and the Millburn ' Wagon Company, of Toledo, O.. .r to institute complaints be fore -the Commission, demanding repara tion on shipments on which they had paid the $1.35 rate. The Commission denied the reparation, holding that the carriers were forced by water competition " to restore the lower rate in order to get the business, and not because the higher rate was unreasonable. HUSBAND BADLY SCARED CHARLES THOnX'TOX DECLARES WIFE TRIED TO KILL HIM. Woman Retorts That Spouse Fired Shots Boih Get Freedom . Alter Depositing Bail. Declaring that he would rather go to jail for six months than to face his angry. wife, Charles. Thornton, who con ducts a saloon, at 75 Third street North, Wednesday deposited $250 bail for his wife, who had been arrested with him on a charg-e of disturbing the peace; and per mitted himself to be locked in a cell. However, his - security from his spouse was short lived, for in less than an hour she returned with $250. which she de posited for her husband's release. A report' was received at the police station about 8 o'clock that a number of shots had been fired in the Thornton home, at 167 Park street. Patrolman Ennis on entering- the house found the Thorntons quareling, the furniture smashed, chairs overturned and other evi dences of a struggle. A 3S-caliber re volver was lying on the bed, with three chambers emptied, while three holes In the wall showed where the bullets had passed. Mrs. Thornton maintains that her hus band came home drunk and began to abuse her and smash the furniture. Not satisfied with this, she Kays, he picked up a revolver and fired three shots, merely to frighten her. Thornton, on the other hand says his wife has frequent attacks similar to the one last night and that at such times she is exceedingly dan gerous. "She fired three shots at me." he said, "and this is not the first time by any means that she has emptied a revolver trying to hit me. Our old home, on Tenth street, is riddled with bullets which were fired by her." The angry woman refused to bestow so much as a glance on her husband after depositing his bail, walking away from the juil with her head in the air. Her thoroughly subdued husband lingered for several hours at the police station.- say ing he was afraid to leave. BABY LOST 111 SUBURB CHILD DISAPPEARS IX "MIDST OF CROWD AT SALE OF LOTS.

North, mysteriously disappeared from his gocart at Kusa during a real estate sale Wednesday aft ernoon and cannot be found. Posses of men have been searching In the vicinity since 4:30 P. M. for the child, but not a trace of him was dis covered. It is nor generally believed that the baby could have wandered away and kidnaping is the most ac cepted theory of his disappearance. Mrs. Wood attended a real estate auction sale at Kusa yesterday. She left the baby in its gocart about 4 P. M. not more than 100 yards from the real estate office, where a big crowd had assembled. She returned to the gocart half an hour later and found her baby gone. At first she thought the little one had slipped out of the buggy and mingled with the crowd, but when no one was found who had seen the child she be came alarmed and the word spread through the crowd that a child was lost. Immediately volunteers began a thorough search. As- night drew near and no trace of the baby was found, a general alarm spread through the com munity, more volunteers were enlisted and the search became more systematic.

After requesting further Instruc tions at 11:50 last night as to whether or not a verdict of murder in the second degree could be returned if premeditation was shown, and being ordered by the court to return to the Juryroom and read their instructions, the jury In the trial of William Gohl for the murder of Charles Hadberg at 12:35 this morning brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, with a recommenda tion for clemency. Gohl was brought from his cell looking pale and haggard and as the Clerk slowly read the decree he seemed unable to com prehend the seriousness. He exchanged a few hurried words with his attorney, James A. Hutcheson, before being hur ried to his cell, in the jail below, by sev eral deputies. For some reason or other Mrs. Gohl, who has not been aDsent from the court for a moment during the entire trial and who feverishly paced the corridor of the Courthouse and the sidewalk in front for hours after the Jury retired, was not present when the ' verdict which may mean the gallows for her husband, was returned. J. O. Stewart officiated as foreman of the jury, which was discharged by Judge Ben Sheeks immediately. Despite the late hour, a considerable number of spectators were on hand to Kara the result. No notice of arpeal was given by the defense at this time. INVENTIONS OF TOMORROW Peeps Into the Electrical Dream of the future. Popular Electricity. Chances for a successful career In the electrical field better than ever be fore electrical inventions not all made by any means electricity the only thing that has become cheaper in the last few years high cost of living comes from the cost of delivering small quantities to the ultimate con sumer horses have no place in city streets hereafter motors will do all the chores houses of cement for plain folks for $1200 by the Edison system of molds. We shall have easily $50,000,000,000 of money in the electrical service in 1925, and five times as many persons will then be employed in electricity as now. There is absolutely no reason why horses should be allowed within the city limits, for between the gasoline and electric car, no room Is left for them. A higher public idea of health and cleanliness is working toward such banishment swiftly, then we shall have decent streets instead of stables made of cobblestones bordered by sidewalks. I believe a family could live the year around without using anything but good package food. What is needed Is to carry that a step further and devise automatic stores where the distributing cost is brought down to a minimum on every article handled. A few electro magnets controlling chutes and hop pers and the thing is done. Homes and rents are much too high. I saw it coming long ago and hence went into making cement, the cheapest and most durable building material man has ever had. ... I Just mold a house instead of a brick. I believe that the houses can be erected complete with plumbing and heating apparatus for $1200 each when erected on land underlaid with sand and gravel. ...

Every person is endowed with a certain amount of nervous energy which is be ing constantly drawn upon by the work, worry and responsibilities of our daily life. It is also largely drawn upon dur ing the after-effects of wasting diseases, as fevers. Unless these drains upon the nerves are replaced by nourishment from the blood, the nerves become overworked and exhausted and some form of nervous trouble results. The value of the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that these pills do not stimulate the al ready exhausted nerves to keep up their work for a time longer but that they keep the blood pure and red and in that way fully replace the nervous energy that has been used up. Mrs. Frances Clark, a dressmaker, of No. 174S-A. Mission street, . San Fran cisco, Cal., says: "I suffered for about three years from nervous debility. I was very nervous and during most of the three years I could not sleep well. My stomach was quite bad and I was pale and somewhat run down.- I was not able to work steadily. . "A friend ureed me to take Dr. "Wil liams' Pink Pills and upon doing so I felt better from the start. I took them for several weeks and gained ten pounds in weight and am able to work every day. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many of my friends and always with good results."
