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.

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

of all personages now with the de

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

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

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. For we have glimpsed
a vision of America, and we start out!
resolved that, whatever the cost, we j
shall make her our own. In our j
heavy-laden hearts we are already
Americans. Jn our own dumb way
we have grasped her message to us.
