DIAPHANOUS ATTIRE
Long Beach EIocutionist Offends Some
Workers Who Discuss the Bor-
der Line of Modesty
In Attire

Los Angeles white ribboners hurled
shafts of criticism at peek-a-boo shirt
waists at their city meeting yesterday.
In unmstakable language women
speakers at the weekly meeting of the
local W. C. T. u. in the First M. r.
church expressed their views on mod.
esty in women's attire, and many of
those in the audience who listened
looked at each other to see whether
they had been hit by the frensic barbs.
Mrs. Lucy z. Blanchard started the
ball rolling.
She told how on the occasion of the
meeting of workers at Long Beach a
day or two ago a young woman who
was on the program for defamation
advanced on the stage in costume
that to say the least was disaphanouS.
II talked to the young woman after
wards" said Mrs. Blanchard, 'and we
both agreed that the attire worn now
adays by some women transcends the
lines of modesty."
Tends to Immodesty
Mrs Louise Lawrence, the next
speaker, said she considered the mod
ern peek-a-boo shirt waist indicate.
She saw them on cars, autos, in the
stores and on the streets and their
wearing was harmful to those who
wore them and saw them as tending to
immodesty.
Mrs. Josephine Marlatt emphasized
the remarks of those who preceded her,
saying that the wearing of the open
work waists was to be deprecated.
The long mooted question of naming
critic was settled by the appointment
of Mrs. E. M. Deardorf of Huntington
Park to the position.
Earlier in the session the Holiness
movement which is attracting atten-
ton in Los Angeles came up for dis
cussion.
Mrs. Marlatt remarked that too much
criticism was INDUCED in over the
doings of the Holiness sect. If the lives
of the people were wholly" pure they
would look with federation on holy
lives, she said.
The session was a busy one for the
temperance and purity workers. Mes
danes Warner, Oakley. Hibbard and
others participating in the talks in ad-
dition to those mentioned.

PARIS, July 27.-According to the

the Russian authorities discovered in
the course of recent searches the ex-

general revolutionary strike in October

The emperor consequently decided to

WIDOW DECLARES
She WAS TRICKED
SENSATION SPRUNG IN H0R-
NER MURDER TRIAL
Mrs. Perkins Says That Private De-
teetIve Represented Himself as
Coming From District At
torney's Office

AS a result Of a sensati, nal bit OF
evidence introduced in court yesterday
in the trial of Perry j. Horner, charged
with murder, warrants may be issued
today by the district attorney for the
arrest Of a private detective whom, it
is alleged, visited the widow of the
murdered man and under the guise of
being a representative of the district
attorneys office managed to get her to
sign a statement refuting most of the
evidence produced by the prosecution.
The Horner trial was going along
placidly yesterday afternoon when Mrs.
Celia Perkins, widow of Frank B. Per-
kins, the murdered man, was called to
the stand.
Thereupon tle attorneys for the de-
fense confronted the widow with a
document, written in a scrawling hand
and signed by her. The document
stated that Horner and Perkins had
been drinking together before the fight
which ended Perkins life and that
Horner had paid for his bed early in
the evening. Since the prosecution was
basing the motive of the murder on
the fact that Horner had not paid his
bed bill and was being elected because
of his delinquency when the murder
occurred the statement would have
knocked the underpinning from the
prosecution.
Mrs. Perkins Tells Story
Mrs. Perkins Indignantly denied that
she knew the contents of the document
when she had signed it and tol the
following story on the witness sind
and which officers of the district attor-
ney's Office will take as grounds for in
vestigation and act Immediately.

i was talking he was writing. When he
finished he told me to sign the paper.

Comas and Mccormick, who are con-

date investigation would be made of
the affair and no stone would be left
unturned until the man who repre-
sented himself as an officer rom the
district attorneys office had been foun d
and brought to justice.
The crime for which Horner is being
tried occurred April II at an East First
street lodging house. Horner rented
room and during the night created a
disturbance when the landlord tried to
collect the rental of the bed.
At the bottom of the stairs leading
from the house. it is alleged, Horner
turned on the landlord and stabbed him
in the stomach. infiicting wound from
which Perkins later died.

Ordered to Keep Ledger Accounts
In this instance the amount involved
is much larger than was that of the
oil scandal, in which Deputy City Clerk
Wilde and Willard l.. Goodwin played
n conspicuous part, the latter being
exonerated Of all charges after an in
vestigation.
1t is not known whether action will
be taken against the city engineer or
other officials who may be responsible
for the mistake.
A few minutes previous to the close
of the meeting of the board of public
works yesterday afternoon, City En-
gineer Stafford was requested to keep
ledger accounts hereafter with each
contract that comes under his super
vision.
Mr. Stafford was further instructed
by the board of public works to have
each demand posted to the ledger ac-
count before approving the same or pre-
senting it to the city council for pas
sage.
The board also advised the city en-
gineer to have companies furnishing
materials render bills for all materials
delivered and check up the bills from
the inspectors receipts.
A peculiar feature of the above du-
plicate payment involving the loss of
several thousand dollars to the city is
the fact that it came to the city en-
gineer only when the Simons Brick
company returned the excessive money
to the city engineer.

REFORM SCHOOL CROWDED.
One Hundred and Seventeen Boy
Confined in the School.

One hundred and seventeen boys
are now domiciled in the Oregon state
reform school, which is located six
miles east of this city, says the Salem
Journal. Two boys have been receiv-
ed within the past week. The dormi-
tory accommodations have been
crowded for some time and Thursday
Superintendent Looney set up num-
Der of beds In a room on the third
floor of the building, to which he as
signed about a dozen of the boys hav
ing the best records. This has lessen
ed the crowding in the regular DOR
mitories. The total number of beds
available Is 121, so that four more
boys will fill the building to its ca
pacity.
A recent addition to the facilities
of the school is the fitting up of a
room in the industrial building for a
primary room. where boys under II
years of age receive their school in
struction.
During the coming summer the
boys will be instructed in military
drill, and probably a gymnasium will
be built and equipped. To carry out
these plans, and add to the effective
force of the school, the superintend-
ent has hired T. L. Lloyd, of the New
Jersey state reform school.
Mr.. Lloyd and his wife are expected
to reach the school and begin work
about March list. He has had an ex-
tended experience in reform school
work, is good disciplinarian and
teacher. He will teach the boys band,
now without a leader, and will have
charge of the athletics of the school.
