THE_EVENTNG MRS. NORTON FLAYS ROOSEVELT SPEECH Woman Representative Criti- cises Colonel’s Address Be- fore Feminine Republicans. “Some men evidently still think that women believe anything that a man tells them,” Representative Mary T. Norton of New Jersey declared in a statement today flaying Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt in answer to his chal- lenge to the Democrats in a speech before 400 Republican women re- cently. “He should be the last man to ¢ about the country,” Mrs. Nor- says, “considering the very ahle respons v gave to his attempt, a short time ago, to lead the splendid men and women of the metropolis.” As an admirer of his illustrious father, she advises the present-day Col. Roosevelt “to fol- low in his footsteps and, at least, try to respond to the rules of honesty and good sportsmanship.” G Quotation from Statement. rs Norton's prepared statement is, in part, as follows: 2 “If it were not an insult to the in- telligence of women, it would be amus- ing to read the speech of Theodore Roosevelt to 400 Republican women at the Dorset Hotel recently. “I am one of those women who be- lieve in men and feel proud of their record of achievement in this country, hut 1 also believe that they have as many faults as they have virtues. “Probably the only reason Col. Roosevelt was permitted to read his speech to the Republican convention was because no red-blooded Republi- can present would have done just what he did, and the speech seemed sary for ignorant consumption.

JOHNSON LEAVES AMERIGAN LEAGUE Base Ball Chieftain Tenders Resignation to Direc- tors in Detroit. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 17.—The resig- nation of Byron Bancroft Johnson, founder and president of the Ameri- can League for 27 years, was accepted today by the league's board of direc- tors. Frank Navin, vice president of the league and head of the Detroit Club, said he would take charge of the league’s affairs until a meeting could be called and Johnson's successor elected, 1 No nention “Was made of Ed. S. Barnard, president of the Cleveland Club, who has frequently been men- tioned as the next president. He was not at the meeting today. Only three of the four directors of the league -were on hand—Clark Grifith, Washington; Tom Shibe, Philadelphia, and Navin. Is Given Verbally. Johnson's resignation was delivered verbally and the veteran said he had no statement to give out at this time. “I am through now,” Johnson said. ““All the papers, contracts, money in the bank and league records have been turned over to Mr. Navin. Now I can start in on a long and much- needed rest.” Phil Dec Ball, the fourth director of the Jeague, spent two days with Johnson last week, but now is in Washington on business. Johnson’s farewell to major league base ball was in strange contrast to his entrance, at the beginning of this century, when he organized a circuit to compete with the National League. He was in constant warfare over players and clubs with the older base ball group and fqught constantly for three years before a truce was signed. Today the three directors and John- son, with the latter's counsel, Judge George A. Barrett, discussed affairs for an hour in Johnson's office and then sent out word that Johnson's verbal resignation had been accepted. Date Not Yet Set. ‘When the league club owners will be called to choose a new president, Navin said, he did not know. He left soon after the conference for Detroit.

Collaterals Forfeited. in Mount Pleasant was the scene of four raids by the police of the tenth precinct late Saturday night and early yesterday morning in obedience to Maj. Hesse's orders to “clean up" that section. The persons arrested included a middle-aged widow, the mother of two small children; a 23.year-old ste- nographer and four men. The raiding squadron entered home of Mrs. Rebecca Kushner, years old, 1211 Otis street, early ves- terdny morning and found 100 q i of alleged corn whis Mrs, Kushner is the mother a boy 14 years old and a girl 7 years old, who were asleep when the police arrived, as was their mother. Mrs. Kushner requested the officers to make as little noise as possible so as not to awaken the chil- dren. It had been a hard strukgle to support them and send them to gchool, she said. Raid on Apartment. Miss Anna Mildred Wilson, 23 years old, of 650 Third street northeast, was taken in the company of two men, Irank Morris and Tray Beavers, in apartment 4 of the Tivoli Building, and charged with disorderly conduct The other two raids resulted in two men being arrested and charged with permitting gaming. Morris Edmund Rogers. 24 years old, of 1412 Park road. was the first one arrested Sampson Andrews, 31 years old, 655 Morton street, was arrested by Pre- cinct Detective Dennis Murphy. who said the police found a crap game in progress. Several men attempted to escape but ran into the arms of wait- ing officers. Capt. Fred Cornwell has been given the responsibility of conducting the “clean-up” drive ordered by Maj. Hesse. He is being assisted by Lieut. Sullivan, who headed the raiding party Saturday night, Precinct De tectives Murphy and Oscar Mansfield and Policeman C. E. Rhue. Forfeit Collateral. In Police Court $5 collateral was forfeited by Beavers, Morris and Miss ‘Wilson. Papers were made out for Mrs Kushner, charging her with illegal pessession, but at a late hour she had not been arraigned. Papers were filed also against Rogers and Andrews, charging them with permitting gam- ing, and will be investigated by As- sistant United States Attorney Ralph Given.

It is already one of the most beautiful, but it is apparent to every one who has studied the problem that many mis- takes have been made in its physical development, particularly with re. spect to transportation, and that its artistic development cannot be secared unless some means con be found to make the public authority supreme in all these matters and to compel subordination of purely private inter- ekts while at the same time surround- ing ch rights with every proper and legitimate protection, “For many years I have been ac- tively engaged in the public utility business. I have both established and operated public utilities. My ideas, therefore, about the Washington situa- tion are not merely academic, but are based upon a long, practical experi- ence. I purchased recently a control- ling interest in the Washington Rapid Trinsit Co. “I do mot represent any company, interest or group of interests in this work. My purchase of the bus line was induced by the consideration that the service could be improved by intro- duction of better and more artistic busses, and that in my hands it would not be permitted to hinder or compli- ate a consolidation necessary and essential to a superior system of trans- portation within the District. My in- terest in the problem is, therefore, not a selfish one as the owner of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., which I pledge to the proposed consolidation without profit to myself, but an aesthetic one as a citizen who believes that the beautification and artisti development of Washington is not purely local, but a matter of national significance, Seeks a Solution. “I hope very earnestly that when the plans are submitted to the Public Utilities Commission they may re- ceive fair and full consideration and that they may prove a happy solu- tion of the long-standing problem of bringing about a consolidation of local transit facilities, “I am fortunate in having secured as my counsel in this matter McAdoo, Neblett, O'Connor and Claggett, of which W. G. Mec- Adoo, former Secretary of the Treas- ury, is the senior member. I sought Mr. McAdoo's co-operation because he built the Hudson River tunnels in New York and has an unusually ripe experience in transportation problems. I am actively conferring with public- spirited citizens whose counsel is in- dispensible. When the preliminary discussions and negotiations now in progress are completed and a definite plan is formulated, I shall present it formally to the Public Utilities Com mission and invite the widest pos sible discussion.” o The two small children of Maj.

FATHER SAVES TWO AT BURLEITH FIRE Six Homes Badly Damaged in Early Morning Blaze. Loss Put at $20,000. Aroused by tha cries of neighbors to find flames licking up through the floor of the porch on which he and his two small children were sleeping, Maj. Walter O. Rawls, U. 8. A, of 1805 Thirty-seventh street, seized the children, wrapped them in blankets and rushed with them to the front part of the house, away from the fire that was already well advanced on the rear porch and that seriously damaged six homes in that section of Burleith, early thls morning. The fire started in the back part of Maj. Rawls’ home, presumably from an electric cable that became heated from a short circuit, and soon set the lower porch afire. Nearby fire-fighting apparatus was summoned by two alarms. A dozen or more families were routed from their homes and the entire neighborhood thrown into confusion for more than an hour. Other Houses Damaged. Besides the home of Maj. Rawls, the houses most seriously damaged ware those of Lieut. Col. Henry Hoss- feld, U. S. A, 1803 Thirty-seventh street; Lore A.

The total damage was estimated at between $15,000 and §20,000. From the rear porch of Maj. Rawls’ home, the fire swept along ihe back porches of the adjoining houses and attacked the rear rooms on the first and second floors. A member of the Carpenter family discovered the lames shooting out of the rear of the Rawls home and screamed to awaken them. But for this, Maj. Rawls and two of his children might have been severely burned. The two children were Robert M., aged 9, and Jean, aged 6. The other child, Nancy, was sleeping ineide with her mother. Mr. Carpenter was awakened and turned in the first alarm. When the firemen arrived, a second alarm was sounded. Clock Still Ticks. Chiet George Watson of the Fire Department responded to the second alarm and took charge of the fire fighting. The rear portions of the houses sus- tained the greatest damage, but in some the destruction extended clear to the front of the house. In Lieut. Col. Hossfeld's home a collection of pewterware, some of it dating back to 1680 and in the family for generations, was completely de- stroyed. Right beside it, an old grand- father clock, with its face scorched and blackened by the flames, still . ARMY HEADS BACK AT DESKS HERE Neither Davis Nor Summerall Called as Yet for Housing Parley.

Tnstead of coming into Union Station, the locomotive was turned about at C tower, located at New York avenue, and then pulled out for Philadelphia. This test run, the first time that an English locomotive built for an Ing- lish railroad has hauled an American passenger train, came as a climax to the close of the B. & O. centenary ex- hibition and pageant, where the huge locomotive has been attracting atten. tion for the last 23 days.
