THE WILLARDS
Arguments in the Beauty Wonder" Trial
VIII Be Resumed This Morning

The argument in the trial of the VIII
lard family, of Beauty Wonder" noto-
rlety, on charge of using the mails for
the purposes of fraud, will he resumed
before Judge Wellborn in the United
States district court. Hon. J. Marion
Brooks will close foF the defense and
will attempt to ridicule the case out of
court. Mrs. Meta X. willard has testified
that she is the sole proprietor of the
Beauty Wonder" business, and Mr..
Brooks will attempt to show that there
was no conspiracy between the other
mem bers OF the family and that therefore
no offense was committed He will also
try to make out that the toilet article
sold by Mrs. willard has merit, and that
it as the fault of the agents themselves
if they did not make money out OF the
business as people qualified for the posi-
ton of agents had uniformly done well.
United States Attorney Denis Will close
for the people. Mr.. Denis has. with the
assistance OF Postal Inspector Nj. H..
Flint, prepared his case very carefully,
and his argument promises to be bill,
liant one. The effect of conviction will
he very widespread, and in case OF sue
cess it is more than possible that other
arrests will be made. not only in South
ein California but at various points on
the coast. The postal authorities say that
poor people are swindled out OF thou
sands of dollars every year by fraudulent
concerns throughout the country, and a
determi med effort will be made to stop it,
at least so far as it is carried on through
the mails. The worst feature of this sort
of swindling, said the inspector, is that
the victims are people who can least
afford to stand the losses. They are in
most instances struggling women in re-
duced circumsta who are taken in by
the glittering inducements offered in at
traotIvely worded circulars and part with
their slenGer earnings, made by hard
work in the hope of lettering their con-
dition, only to ind out that they have
been taken in by clever confidence opera
tors. Mr.. Denis will argue that the
Beauty Wonder is not legitimate
business proposition, and will illustrate
by means of the map referred to in the
Herald yesterday morning that the
agents. of the various branch managers
were so situated that it was practically
i'm possible for them to order goods. as
had been represented. A great deal de-
ponds on the present case. and Mr.. Denis
will see that it does not fail for want of
prpspcutiOn.

Eurnnean 1llitarism

E1ltor Herald How European govern
monts waste the wealth produced BY the
industrial masses! Translated from L.
Alpe Retica, published in Chiavenna,
Italy.
In a book recently published by G. f.
Bastable some startling statistics bring to
light the formidable increase OF the mil
ltarv expenses in the principal countries
of Europe. From 1923 to $3.50 Englan
has increased her army expenditures from
ST. 600, 900 to SlG3, 900, 600; France from 1880
to 1881 increased hers from $6l, 000 0G0 10
$lss, 900, 600: Germany from $91, 0)0. 600 in
1873 augmented them in 1891 to $l71 00O.-
000, and Italy, whose expenditure
amounted in 1852 to So do, 900. spends
TODAY little less than 500. 00o. Alto
gcther the six great powers OF Europe
have increased in the course of para
lively few years, their military expendi-
lures to nearly LOO, 000 000,. What an
immense capital subtracted from produc-
tive industry; from the real greatness of
nations!
AID what OF the immense nun bers of
vigorous hands subtracted from useful la
Dor, and the enurm Gus wealth wasted on
the sterile ana dangerous management OF

Truly, rs the RivIsta remarks, it is di fiji
cult to imagine that future generations
can believe that we have lived in a civ
lli2ed euoch. Many are the protests
against the military system. bat only the
socialists are sincere in their deamnds for
the aboishment of standing armies. Con-
servatives, 10 whatever party they belong.

WHO FIRED THE SHOT?
The Would-Be Assassin of Editor PIaisted Is
Still at Large

The Would-Be Assassin of Editor Plaisted Is
Still at Large
Mark r. Plaisted, editor of tho River
side Enterprise, came to the city yester-
day on a business trip and 10 registered
at the Hollenbeck. Mr.. Plalsted. 1t will
be remembered, narrowly escaped assas-
sination a few nights ago, brief account
of which WAS published in The Herald
the following morning. Mr.. Plaisted,
when asked about the matter yesterday
By Herald reporter, SAID that although
a detective had been at work on the case,
as well as the local police force, so far
no clue had been obtained as to the iden-
tity of the man who fired the shot. AS
to the occurrence itself, Mr.. Plaistej said
that he had narrow escape ana he was
not ashamed to say that for the time be-
ing he was about az badly frightened a
man as there was in Riverside county.
Mr.. PIaisted said that he had been de-
tanned at his Office later than usual, as it
was about the first of the month, and he
was busy making out bills. 1t was about
T. o'clock when the shot was fired. He
at first thought that someone had thrown
rock through the window and rush ed
out TO see who ii was. Someone outside
told him that shot bad been fired and
That il came & rom across the street. No
one was in sight, however, at the time,
and when the policeman scame up, hay
ing been attracted by the shot, he report
ed to him and then returned to his office.
The bullet he saiu. must navO passed
within few inches of his head, ana al
together 1t was a very Glove call.
Mr.. Plaisted further said that he had
been having some trouble with his print
ers, but he was not prepared to say that
the shooting was the outgrowth of that
difficulty. Mr.. Piasted said that he had
been union printer himself for.tan years
and had always employed union men. A
dispute had arisen betneen himGelf and
his men about the measurement of GER
tain cuts, which they insisted should be
paid for. He met the demand for two
weeks, when he DISCHARGED hin union
men and put in n non-unioh force, at the
same time rendering his own resignation
as a member Of the union, Since that
tine boycott aas been declared against
the Enterprise, but beyond that Mr..
Plaisted did not believe anything else
could be done. In the meantime the
search for the man who fired the shot is
still goingsson and will be kept no until
he is apprehended.

THE GERMAN EMPERoR's DEsPOTisn

The statement is made In the dis
patches from Berlin that the government
is issuing new orders to the police to
continue to make untirng warfare upon
the Socialists and their press. The first
thing the egotIstical young man who is
playing the despot over the German peo-
pie knows. the socialists will warmly re-
ciprocate his interested attentions by
making untiring warfare on himself and
his government, with the possible result
of IA state funeral, the EN- peror playing
the star part.
The Anticipated and absurd idea that
the king can do no wrong" which the
German ruler seems so intent on main
tanning, even to the extent Of suppress
ing liberal and socialistio papers, which
refuse to subscribe to it, is very likely to
bring about a crisis in the affairs OF the
mpire. The German socialists ideas OF
government reform may not be the best
in the world, but they more nearly ap-
proximate the wishes and the needs of
the German people than the measures
that are liable to emanate from the ali
soutism that the present emperor stan ds
for: and whatever the merits of the
socialists, the mass of the German peo-
pie are liable to resent the tyrannical
measures being taken against them be-
peror. If, indeed. the German empire is
constitutional monarchy, as it pre!ends
TO be, the criticisms are certainly lawful.

posal works OF East Orange.
The history of the scheme is in some respects
curious Nearly two years ago Thomas A.
Nevins, the contractor proposed to the East Orange
Township Committee to build tde-water outlet
for the sewage of the township for the sum of
$4,000 At that time he had definite idea of just
where he would go. The proposition accepted
and the contract executed. Mr.. Nevins at first
templated a outlet TO the Passaic through
Woodside the northern district Of the city Of New
ark. Many difficulties were thrown in his way, and
at last the Board OF Public Works OF Newark made
q contract with East Orange that the outlet should
be built on the lines thai nave since been followed
out These were that brick sewer of varying size
should be built from the terminus OF what was men
known the Mnlbrook sewer, through various
streets 10 the East Orange line.
Under the terms OF the original contract the part

was to pay the city OF Newark $1,000 for the PRIV

The sewer as built is about three miles long, Win

all the sewage from East Orange. The ground was
actually broken on October !, 1894. and since then
the work has been steadily pushed. More than hat
