From Milwaukee she made a trip to Europe as a member of a commission to study the schools there. On her return she spent one summer studyi- ing at the University of Chicago and the next year obtained a leave o! absence to attend the University of ‘Wisconsin, where she completed a two years’ course in one year, obtain- ing a degree of bachelor in philoso- phy in 1912 Health Broke Down. At the end of this period she said her health broke down, neuritis depriv- ing her of the use of both hands, and she came to Waukesha to recuperate. ‘During 1913 she occasionally acted as substitute teacher in the Milwaukee grade schools and in the fall of 1914, her health improving, she was given a regular appointment as an instruct- or in the normal training school.. Miss Lusk said she first met Dr. Roberts at a dinner party he attended with his wife late in January or early in February 1913. Later they met at church sociables which Dr. Roberts atended with his wife. The witness described her health during this period as poor due largely to overwork, and declared she was frequently unable to attend to her du- ties because of severe headaches. During the early part of.the day the defense introd4ced a score of character witnesses, who testified to the high reputation borne by the de- fendant. Evidence was also introduc- ed to show that her grandmother had been the inmate of an insane asylum at ane time. ue Miss ‘Lusk. was caled to the wit- ness stand at 3:30 o'clock: yesterday afternoon, but ‘Judge’ Martin Ieeck immediate) ed..an adjournment and she th Uae eee her story to the jury until.;4: o’clock,, and court adjourned an hour later.

Ten thousand men al- ready have stopped work in this city, and labor leaders say the number will be increased .to fifteen thousand by tonight.

Italian ‘Naval Headquarters, Sacur- day, May 18.—The details of the re- cent Italian naval exploit at Pola; show that it was one of the most au- dacious feats of the war, worthy to rank with the British at Zeebrugge and the Merrimac at Santiago. Plans were long matured by Lieu- tenant Commander Pellegrini, who adopted unusual means of secrecy to safeguard the project.’ To ‘divert at- tention, ‘he took service in the trenches on- the Piave, and when he was ready ‘to start gave out that'he was going ‘to visit his friends. He was accompanied by another officer and two sailors. The party: was escorted iby destroy- ers and arrived at~Pola at 2 o'clock in the morning. It was very dark, ay the moon had been down two ‘hours. | A light wind’ blew off shore, which | prevented the sounds of ‘preparation’ going: landward. |The entrance of the channel was 400’yards across, with a long neck -leaiing into ‘the great har- ‘bor, in which lay Austria’s fleet of ‘battleships, cruisers and destroyers, encircled by a frowning: terrace of land ‘batteries. In the obscurity the guardship, at the entrance was dimly visible, swung to one side, the guards apparently asleep. There was complete lack: of watchfulness. Final preparation was now made for a dash in the darkness. Commander Pellegrini and his two companions put on rubber suits which could be in. flated. The. plan was to discharge torpedoes at the big ship, then ‘blow up their own craf*, jump overboard and await capture or drowning. All realized that there was practically no chance of returning alive. 7 Into 'Lion’s Mouth.
