Miss Barton was 40 years old when first she turned her attention to the great works of humanity which have made her name famous. The Bed Cross was established In America In ISM and Miss Barton was Its president from that date until 1904. Before that time she had made a name for herself by her services on battlefields, begin ning In the Civil War and extending through the Franco-Prussian War. Con gress recognized her good offices in the -first case by an appropriation of S1S.0OO to be disbursed by her In search for missing men after the various bat tles of the war. Miss Barton's work became more ex tended with the organization of the American Red Cross and covered the new field of catastrophes in time of peace. She distributed relief to the sufferers from the Johnstown flood and went to Russia In IS82 to carry food to the famine sufferers there. In the fol lowing year she was ministering to the destitute survivors of the tidal wave which struck South Carolina and Florida. - Work fevers Maay Fields. In 1S3 she was aiding the Armenian families decimated by the Turks, and when yellow fever appeared among the American troops in Cuba, following the battles around Santiago, it was Clara Barton who, at the request of President McKlnley, organised field hospitals and personally spent her time on the battle lines. Her last work of National prominence was in connec tion with the great Galveston flood relief In 1300. In 1904 the Red Cross was re-organized. President (then Secretary) Taft being chosen as president, and Miss Barton, then far advanced in age and somewhat broken In health from ex posure and hardships, retired from ac tive connection with the organization. She lived for the last seven years at her home at Gln Echo, on the banks of the I'pper Potomac Miss Barton was born In Oxford, Mass.. In 121. and after her graduation from tho Clinton. N. Liberal Insti tute, taught school for 10 years. Her work in Hie Civil War followed. Miss Barton bad been decorated or BHTO. had diplomas of honor from Germany, Baden, Austria, Servia.

In the last years of her life Miss Barton was wrapped up in a new undertaking which she regarded as of far greater moment even than her ac complishment In convincing the Gov ernment of the great need and value of the Red Cross. Her neighbors in this place, her former home, knew of her work in inaugurating a movement to equip every railroad in the I'nitcd States with cars equipped for the aid of persons Injured in train wrecks. This movement, which she Inaugurated In 190S. when she was 84 years old, had made great, headway when she died. "Is it unreasonable to ask that rail roads should take the trouble to care for persons hurt In wrecks on their property?" he asked. "Just think of the good that might be accomplished by having a system of hospital cars. My plan is to have each road keep, at least, one csr always ready to dash away at a moment's notice to the scene of any accident. 1 want them to keep a car prepared to start. Just as an en gine and wrecking outfit Is kept. I would have physicians and surgeons on the car and supply every equipment and means for the relief of the wounded. At the call this car would have the right of way. It would hurry to the scene of disaster. . "in the car would be banduges, hot and cold water. Ice, instruments and the surgeon, with his assistants. How different this would be compared to the present method! Instead of loading the injured on to a car, to bo perhaps car ried many miles before a hospital or adequate surgical treatment can be reached, the Injured would be tenderly cared for at the very scene of the wreck. . "I would have each Injured person carried Into the car and placed In tho hands of the surgeon and his assist ants, and as each is treated, moved to a cot or bed In the same car or on- the train and room made for the next per son. There would be no Jolting ambu lances, no long, painful trips on the train before medical help could be se cured. "Doesn't that sound reasonable?" Of the past Miss Barton seemed re luctant to speak. Of the great work the Hd Cross has accomplished she said: "When the Government accepted the Red Cross, perhaps a bit arrogant ly. I felt that my end was accomplished and I was ready to give It up. We were about the 40th nation to take It up: so you seo we are not so progressive after all." Miss Barton was full of plans for the future to the end. Relative 1.1 vc In Portland. Miss Clara was a seond cousin of the late Edmund V. Barton, whose widow lives at 39! East Ninth street, Portland. Mr. Barton died In 1896, but his widow and Miss Barton were In correspondence until a year ago, when Miss Barton's health made it Impos sible for her to write letters. She sent copies of a pamphlet containing a sketch of her life, which she published at the age of 88. Mrs. Barton's daugh ters have also received signed photo graphs as Christmas gifts. Mrs. Bar ton's son, J. H. Barton, of this city, and his wife, visited the home of Miss Barton at Glen Echo. Md., last July. LEWIS JURY LOCKED UP DEFRAUDING CASE GOES TO 1 2 MEX AFTER FYE WEEKS.

A scathing denunciation of the House committee on expenditures in the Interior Depart ment was delivered today by Mann of l'llncls. the minority leader. He charged that Graham of Illinois, chairman of the committee, had permitted a woman lobbyist, known by him to be In the employ of persons pressing claims be fore the committee, to shape legisla tion. Mrs. Helen Pierce Gray, of Minne sota, was the woman named by Mann. He charged that for three months she had occupied a desk in the office of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs on the strength of her relations with the House committee. Indian Paysi "Keep Money." In that time, said Mann, Mrs. Gray had solicited and had received fees amounting to several hundred dollars from Intlien claimants. Mann said a dissatisfied Indian had filed a protest with Chairman Graham, and that he had told the woman- to "keep the money." Mrs. Gray in 1S08 brought charges against Indian Agent Reynolds, alleg ing that while she was on the Crow reservation writing syndicate articles, she had been thrown into Jail aJid threatened with incarceration in a cell with a male Indian. The storm broke in the House today when Representative Graham's com mittee asked for the adoption of a resolution providing for an Indian in vestigation in New Mexico. In oppos ing. Mr. Mann sold: "The Democratic investigations have cost the Government more than $100, 000." .Mann Denounce Scandal. He shook his clenched fists at the Democratic side an he added: "They have not disclosed any siandal so great as that of a committee of the House retaining within Its scope a person who solicits and receives money to use his or her influence in forcing legislation through for the benefit of clients." Mr. Mann demanded that Mrs. Gray be summarily shut out ot the comm!l tee and the bureau of Indian affairs. Representative Hill, ot Connecticut, a Republican, protested against the ap propriation o any money for a fur ther inquiry into Indian affairs. He denounced the proposed trip to New Mexico as a forerunner of others, "un til 100 or l.'O subcommittees of inves tigation arc swaggering around tho country training their olfactory sense in Irving to smell out something to investigate." Mr. Graham mado no reply and the resolution was adopted 61 to 41. APOSTLE WILL HOT TOIL LORD'S COMMAND" TO TAKE REST READILY FOLLOWED.

The youngest of their children is a few weeks old. In obtaining the marriage license Ruch gave the young woman's name as Helen Hoffman. "This young man came to the pro bate court in 1910 and secured a license to marry this young woman who, it since has been discovered, is his sister," said Judge Leudcrs to the the Solvency Court. v "That was before the recent law was enacted requiring both applicants for a marriage license to appear per sonally. The young man ga-e his name, age and address properly. He gave the young woman's name as Helen Hoffman and told her age and address.

"The discovery was not made until a comparatively short time ago. I had them in 'my oclce and we tried to arrive at some solution for the prob lem presented. They have two child- ren. They still love each other and love their children. "I explained to them that although they might be able to keep the secret for years, there would come a time as surely as anything human can be cer tain when someone would discover it and it would be exposed, possibly in their declining years. Or if the dis closure were not to come until after their death it would be left as a herit age to their children. Now they can como into court, honestly to explain an honest mistake and do the only thing in their power to rectify their mistake."
