HURT BY SHE WOLF. Miss Lee Willetts, Georgetown, Attacked by Vicious Aiinimal. Georgetown. .March 30.?Suffering intensely from lacerations from the vicious attack of a she wolf, Miss Lee Willetts, a popular young Georgetown woman, is in the hands of physicians today. .Miss Willetts lives with her mother on High .Market street, extended, and yesterday afternoon .Mrs. Willetts went out to feed the wolf, which was kepi in a pen in the back yard. The animal made a lunge at Mrs. Willetts and the daughter, who was standing on the back porch, knowing the viciousness of the wolf since the death of its mate about two weeks ago, went to her mother's rescue. The wolf fastened its fangs first in the young woman's thigh and as she fought him off with her bare bands he caught her arm and fingers, literally chewing one of the digits off. She grabbed the bloodthirsty wolf with her left hand and the vicious animal again sank his fangs deep into her arm. Neighbor to the Rescue. The cries of the women brought ^ Mr. Ellis Haralson, who lives next door to the Willetts home, and he caught the wolf by the throat, running the risk of being bitten himself. Tightening his grasp he finally threw the animal into the pen and then turned his attention to the badly injured young woman. A physician was summoned and the wounds dress ed. While her injuries are painful, it is not thought they will be fatal, but she will be some time in recovering from the terrible assault. Sent to Deceased Brother. About a year ago Wilson Willetts, a brother of the victim of the she wolf's attack, traded a pair of chickens for a puppy to a party in Texas. The puppy afterwards died and upon v writing the fact to the Texas fancier, the latter sent a pair of wolves, said to be perfectly tame. The male as it grew older seemed perfectly domesticated, but the female, the worst of the species, seemed to resent captivity. Wilson Willetts died about two weeks ago and the day after his death the male wolf expired. Since that time the she wolf has grown noticeaBly more restless and care was taken in feeding her. \ As soon as a physician was summoned Mr. Haralson, who had heroically gone to the young woman's rescue, returned to' his home and securing his rifle went to the pen and dispatched the vicious brute that she might no longer prove a menace to those in the neighborhood. t TO CONFINE EX-CZAR. * Police Claim Plan was to Proclaim Grand Duke Nicholas Emperor. / , Petrograd, April 1.?Orders have been issued by the Russian provisionv al government for the transfer to the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul of all personages now with the de J ot Tcarckop-Sfilo. PUbOU cmpciui UW Avn.. ..... Tlius the ex-emperor and ex-empress will be completely isolated. The recent arrest of the Grand puchess Marie Pavlovna, a cousin of the former emperor, and divorced wife of Prince William, of Sweden, and a group of personages in the entourage of Grand Duke Boris has led, according to the police, to the discovery of a plot in which the grand duchess and two grand dukes were involved for the proclaiming of Grand Duke Nicholas as emperor of Russia. Grand Duchess Olga, of Russia, sister of the abdicated emperor, who divorced the Duke of Oldenberg, has just married Capt. Koudikowski, of the Russian cavalry. The officers of the captain's regiment have asked Koudikowski to resign owing to his alliance with the house of Romanoff. t 1 To Remain With Adopted Parents. Columbia, March 31.?Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Leach, of Columbia, were allowed to retain the custody of their 12-year-old adopted daughter, Myrtle Leach, alias Mildred Mulkey, in a decision announced today by Judge J. W. DeVore. Custody had been sought by the mother of the girl, Mrs. Mildred Vandiver, of Houston, Texas. The judge's decree holds that Mrs. Vandiver, who was for some years an occupant of an Atlanta house of ill fame, is not a suitable person to rear the child, and that her adoption by Mr. and Mrs. Leach was perfectly legal. Too Inquisitive. When a local train pulled up at the Scottish junction where passengers change for Kirriemuir the porter put his head in the window of one of the AAmnovtmAntc? orir? ' tuiupax uixu . "Anyone here for Kurriemuir?" There was no response, and presently the train moved on. Then an old Scotswoman remarked triumphantly: "Am for Kurriemuir, but I wouldn't tell that inqueesitive idiot so when he peered in!"?Washington Star. I IF UNCLE SAM ENTERS WAR. Bond Issues and Federal Taxes May t Be Increase<l. Washington. March 31.?Extensive bond issues and some increase in ordinary federal taxes if the United States enters the war were predicted today by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, chairman of the senate finance committee. The senator made it clear, however, that no very definite plan had been worked out by congressional leaders. Raising of all strictly "war" revenues, Senator Simmons said, should, in his opinion, be accomplished by issuing bonds and taxation should be resonea iu um^ iui auiuiiucn un t v needs. "We should keep a rigid line of cleavage between revenues necessary for war and the civil establishment," he said. "Of course, 1 believe there must be some increase, how much cannot be estimated, of taxes for the civil establishment. "With our enormous resources, virtually limitless, we would not have to strain our credit as the allies have done. We have ample credit for a war lasting for years and also ample to aid the allies, either by private subscription or a government loan." Roads Seek Increases. Washington, March 30.?Officials of virtually all railroads of the South decided today to join representatives of the railroads in every other section of the country in seekihg a general advance in freight rates. ? How much will be asked for was not definitely decided, but it was said the advance would be from 10 to 15 per cent. A committee headed by Lincoln Green, vice president of the Southern railway, will name the percentage sought and will draft a formal petition for presentation to the interstate, commerce commission within the next few days. Certain commodities, notably ore, coal and coke, probably will be excepted from the general advance. On these, it is understood, the roads will ask for specific advances, a course followed by the Eastern lines. It was intimated also that advances would be sought on intrastate rates as well as interstate and that petitions to the various State commissions involved will be prepared shortly. / Today's action was forecast several days ago by Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, who told the interstate commerce commission that the earnings of his road had been greatly curtailed recently because of additional operating costs due to higher wages paid'under the Adamson law, advances already made and contemplated to other classes of workers than those affected by the law, and the higher prices of fuel, supplies and equipment. Drank Bay Rum and Died. Conway, Ark., March 31.?Homer Llewellyn, a chauffeur, and Orfie Douglas, mecnanic, cueu ueic iwua.?, and Andy Francis, a barber, is expected to die as the result of drinking a gallon of bay rum which the men bought for a "party" at Francis's shop. The bay rum is said to have contained a large per cent, of wood alcohol, which caused the men's death. AN IMMIGRANTS VISION. What America Stands for to the Downtrodden. Oh, if I could show you America as we of the oppressed peoples see it! If I could bring home to you even the smallest fraction of this sacrifice and this upheaval, the dreaming and the strife, the agony and the heartache, the endless disappointments, the yearning and the despair?all of which must be ours before we can make a home for our battered spirits in thi?* land of yours, writes M. E. Ravage, in Harper's. Perhaps, if we be young, we dream of riches and adventure, and if we be grown men we may merely seek a haven for our outraged human souls and a safe retreat for our hungry wives and children. Yet, however aggrieved we may feel toward our native home, we cannot but regard our leaving it as a violent severing of the ties of our life, and look beyond toward our new home as a sort of glorified exile. So, whether we be young or old, something of ourselves, we always leave behind in our hapless, cherished birthplaces. And the heaviest share of our burden inevitably falls on the loved ones that remain when we are gone. We , make 110 illusions for ourselves. Though we may expect wealth, we have no thought of returning. It is fovau-qIi fnrovor Wp arp not setting lV*V?v?. w| out on a trip; we are emigrating. Yes. we are emigrating, and there is our experience, our ordeal, in a nutshell. It is the one-way passport for us every time.
