Recently a number of these persons came together and formed the League of Amnesty for Political Prisoners.

It is the genial purpose of the league, after establishing this new and unusual status for these enemies to the nation, to move for their discharge at the first favorable opportunity, and in any event after the war.

They began to boast over their cups, which were then still full, that the Berlin policemen would be sufficient to tackle the British army. The comic' papers were fllled ith pictures of long-toothed "sportsmen" with big pipes and very short kilts. Now. if there is one word more than another which embodies German contempt when speaking of soldiering It is "sportsman."

So John Hull's little army was a "contemptible little army," and was written off the slate as of no account, except by the doubting Thorn- though he had already established 'a high reputation with that house.

He was therefore asked to take charge of the purchase by Great Britain of supplies through the house of J. P. Morgan at Co. Within a few day he had mobilized I with wonderful skill and co-ordinated the various methoda needed In order purposed to give them any Therfore abundantly aupplled with information, rapidly gained and instantly utilized, he was able. In some Instances, to cut down the prices which I had before been charged Great Britain I for supplies by as much as 50 per cent, and still to leave a reasonable margin of profit for those who manufactured these supplies.

Soon it was that a man of power, of resources and of tact, combined with firmness and an amailng capacity to grasp details, had been placed in charge of this purehaaing department. Thereby he demonstrated himself to be one of the very great executive business forces of the United Statea, and in recognition of that he was made a partner in the house of J. P. Morgan Co. Precisely the qualities which made It possible for him so thoroughly' to 'succeed In tha purchase of supplies for Great Britain, Involving the absolutely honest payment of hundreds of millions of dollars, are the qualities which are to make him of very great avail to the Government and to the people, now that he has been placed in a position where his word goes and his power is recognized and acknowledged.

The man is charged with first-degree murder and the two women with being accessories after the fact In connection with the disappearance and supposed death of Miss.

The girl disappeared more than a year Following the arrests tO-day Deputies began a thorough search of Schmidt's home, and found a box of clothing con cealed under a floor which contained bloodstained feminine apparel. The al- leged crime la the climax of a series of puzzling Oakland County killings, which so weighed, on the mind of the late Sheriff u. II. P. Urten, that he took his own life.

Outdoor housekeeping and front-yard sleeping were popular there last night, but to-day the work of reconstruction was undertaken. "Kamona." idealistic Indian character of Helen Hunt Jackson at San Jacinto, was recalled in the earthquake when the home of Ft. K. Strout fell tn ruins. It was there that "Aunt Rl." one of the novel characters, lived, and It was there that much of the novel was written.

Buried in tb.e ruins is "Ramona's chair." A Chinese cook In the Vosburg Hotel was made indignant when the shocks broke all his freshly washed dishes and left safe piles of unwashed dinner ware. A linotype machine In the office of the San Jacinto Weekly Register, facing one direction before the earthquake, was turned, completely about. Apparently it was not damaged. One of the freaks of the earthquake was the sudden flow In wells. Many artesian wells dry for years showed a sudden free supply of water.

This sudden increase of water manifested Itself particularly in the San Jacinto River Before the earthquake it waa dry. Immediately after the trembler the river at a nnlnr helnw tha town showed a flow of inches In depth and 40 feet in width.
