According to the story of the girl, she was on the way about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon from her home in Ivy City to attend a rehearsal for an entertainment on Capitol Hill, when she was overtaken by Ross, driving the delivery wagon of the firm mentioned. She had never before seen Ross, but accepted an invitation extended by him to ride to town. Ross drove the girl to a stable in the rear of 51 I street, so she said, giving as his excuse a promise that he could receive for her a service Dlace there. Once inside the stable, stated Kate, Ross criminally assaulted ‘her, in spite of her protestations. She went at once in search of @ policeman. On return- ing with Policeman Bean, she met Ross driving out of the alley. He was thereupon placed under arrest. Although the girl positively identified Ross as her assailant, the latter in court today emphatically denied that he had ever laid eyes on her prior to his arrest. Attorney Albert Sillers, who appeared for Ross, mpted to show that his client had always borne an excellent reputation, when Judge Miller interrupted to say: ‘In nine cases out of ten it is these excel- lent reputation citizens that do just this sort of thing.

The Japanese minister here has contract- ea for two cruisers for the Japanese navy to be built in American shipyards, one by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company of Phila- delphia, and the other by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco. This action is the conclusion of negotiations covering many months, and was gratifying alike to the minister and the companies. The award was based not only on the merits of Amer- ican ships, American armor and American materials, but was a distinct recognition on the part of Japan of the kindly offices of the United States during the recent WEST.
