LITTLE GIRL AWAKE WHEN
CRIME WAS COMMITTED
Du a Stag Corespendent
Mentress, Va., Dec. 10. Twe happy
little children plnying about the parlor
of the hotel here believe their daddy Is
In Kurepc and their mother ill In a hos
pital. They face the possibility of being
taken into court rid shewi their
father sitting In the prisoner's deck,
en trial for his life, and of b"lng told
Hint their meth;r was murdered.
Heger D. Hastlake, the fathpr. is co
defendant with Miss Sarah Euphenla
Knox for the murder of his wife. Mar
garet A. L'nftlake, at Colonial Bench,
September .10.
The children ar" Reger Kastlakc,
Jr., eight yenrs old, and Margaret Kast
lake, five years old. Their testimony Is
expected by the State te clinch the
case that will send their father te the
electric chair.
District Attorney Maye has been
keeping the children at his home, lie
has bought them toys and n Christ
ians tree, and they have entwined them
selves about his heart. Despite the fact
he believes Enstlake guilty, and la
fighting te send him te the chair, he is
struggling te keen the children from

i from all knowledge for many years te
I come, of the fate of their father and

The girl is demanding of the court
rxniiprntien and thp moral victory of
reinstatement at Bryn Mawr.
Dismissal Causte Net Given
Ne reason was given by the college
for Miss Beeker's dismissal. She tes
tified yesterday that she had been quel quel
tlenetl about several paltry thefts that
had occurred at the college, but that
she had never been gien nn opportunity
te eiilly explain her side of the case.
The courtroom this morning was
crowded by about fifty students from
the college, curious te observe President
Themas ns a witness under crovs-ex-nnilnatieu.
i
Dr. Themns, however, seemed net
impiessed by any nneinnly in the sit
uatien.
Her attitude seemed te be that there
was an unfortunate misunderstanding
about the prerogatives nf the college.
She seemed anxious te take Mr. Pepper
into her confidence and explain every
thing te him.
Dees Net Loek at Girl
As for the pretty young plaintiff,
who believes that her reputation hangs
upon the decision of the court. Dr.
Themns did net once leek at hr. She
nirhnns would net have referred te Miss
Barker had net Mr. Pepper innilu it
nb-ieuiicl y unavoidable.
Sly declined that she hail never seen
or heard of Miss linker until after the
girl had been "invited net te return"
and was trying te come had; anyway,
for the reason that Dr. Themas 1ms been
ln I'urepe.
"Yeu knew." she said in a confi
dential tone te Mr. Pepper, "the senate
of the college tries cases of nn academic
nature, that Is, cases of students who
have fallen behind ln their studies.
"But the power te pass judgment en
unaciulcmle case-, en pr morals, and
se en, is vested by the college charter
solely In the President. Of eeuise she
usually takes the dean into her confi
dence, but she is net required te de se."
In this i-iisp, however, judgment en
Miss Barker was passed by Dean Smith,
In whose judgment Dr. Themas said
she had "explicit confidence." Thorn Thern
fore she confirmed ihe decision of Dean
Smith.
"Yeu see ln colleges for women we
often have girls who aie net lit te
associate! with the ether students. It
Ik the duty of the Dean, you understand,
and net the president te leek nftcr the
girls and te find out which nru undesirable."
The flames started ln the rear of the
HPcend fleer and seen enveloped the en
tire building.
The lire was; discovered by Mrs. Jehn
Leve, wife of the janitor of a building
at 117 North Eighth street. She was
awakened by smoke pouring into her
bedroom. Groping her way alen; the
hallway she nwakened two of her chil
dren, Ella and Themas, and helped
them te the street.
.Mrs. Leve then went te awaken her
husband. Meanwhile the flanks were
spreading rapidly and a report was cir
culated thnt Mis. Leve had been trapped
in the building.
Jehn Leve, a son, who lives nt
Eighth and Cherry streets, n few j arils
away, piiL-re'd the building in which his
mother was at last .seen and groped his
way te her apartment.
Net finding her there- lie went te the
thlid lloer. Leve then learned his
mother had esenped from tne building.
As retreat from the building was cut
off by smoke and Haines. Leve jumped
from a ihlrd-stery window te a shed
and finally reached the ground in
safety.
The first iloer of the hullding at PJ1
Neith Eighth street Is occupied bv the
Central Shirt Cenipnnj, and the air
was tilled with pieces of burning fabrics

GRAIN RATE REDUCTIONS

Be Effective December 27
Washington, Dec. 10. (By A. P.)
Reduced rotes en grain, grain products
and hay in trans-Mississippi territory,
which the carriers recently sought te
have suspended for six months, were
sustained by the Interstnte Commerce
Commission today and will go into ef

The reductions average about lCVd
per cent of the 1020 grain rates, and
arc further decreases by the commis
sion's order which required that corn
and ether coarse grains be carried for
10 i er cent less tuun wheat and ether
breadstuff grains.
The commission's original order for
the reduction was Usucd October 20,
and was bused en the petition of fifteen
Western States and a number of agri
cultural organizations.
Railroads opposing the reduction
nsked for a rcheuring and veluntnrlly
effpird n reduction, general throughout
the United States except in New Eng
land territory, of 10 per cent en all ag
ricultural products, which, they said,
should be considered a substitute for the
grain reductions. The rehearing vvai

Tempest nnd told him Mr. Wegleln
wns te be referred te the Mayer If he
called en any police, official and tried
te transmit Council's suggestion.
After giving these instructions te the
Assistant Director the Majer said;
"Neither Superintendent Mills nor
any ether police official will take orders
from eny ether authority than the
Mayer, the Director of Public Safety or
the ether police officials w:ie have the
right te give orders.
Thinks Council Was Joshing
"Evidently the ceuncilmanlc body
must have been jeslilng the geniul traffic
expert, Mr. Ven Tagen, when it pro
posed te Interfere with the operations
of nn executive department in the per
formance of its duties under the law.
"Council has the right te paHS or
dinances or te repeal them lf the en
forcement of the ordinance becomes ob eb ob
jectieuable ; it has no right te direct or
Interfere with the exercise of the execu
tive functions of the Mayer or the de
partments, nnd Superintendent Mills or
nny ether official of the Police Depart
ment would net be permitted te take
eidcrs from Ceuncllmcn.
"Evidently the Council weh giving
Instructions te its president yesterday
ln n holiday spirit. It could net have
intended te sever police officials from
their jobs by Inducing n violation of the
orders nud of law."
Council tabled a resolution for re
peal of the 1010 ordinance, but author
ized the creation of a committee te
draft a new traffic ordinance. Ceuncll-
mrn Ven Tagen, McCeach, Ltraeburncr,
uaiis arid waiter were charged with the
task.
It was Mr. Ven Tagen. an Admin
istration member, who led the fight
against the "ne-nnrkine" ordinance.
He objected te police enforcement of a
municipal law which' the Moere Ad
ministration found en the books wheu it
assumed office In January of last yedr.
Combine Members Grin ..
Mr. Ven Tagen's attack en attempts
te enforce the law caused grins among
the Combine members. Councilman
Hall quoted Billy Sunday and invited
Mr. Ven Tagen te "hit the sawdust
trail" te the Combine camp.
The Administration member snld he
wanted the 1010 ordinance repealed be
cause he was afraid Maver Moere
would emulate llareun-nl-Raschid, of
Arabian Nights fame, and make per
sonal tours of the city looking for traffic
violators.
Haroun the Just, no doubt, found
great traffic congestion in the narrow
ptreets of old Bagdad, and the donkeys
nnd camels of these days probably clut
tered up the bazaar streets ns much ns
the medrn motorcars in the shopping
area here.
When Mr. Ven Tagen mentioned the
possibility of another of the Mayer's
tours about the city, Mr. Wegleln re
marked :
"There, yeu've gene and destroyed
one of the illusions of my young life.
Frem new en I shall peer nt a corner
Santa Claus with suspicion that the
long whiskers may conceal the Mayer
looking for parked automobiles."
