A clever housekeeper, tired Of having
cards slip of these glasses or extra
doilies to wash. hit upon the scheme OF
using small individual butter plates for
covers.
She keeps about dozen or more OF
the butter dishes-the inexpensive white
variety-in convenient places, half In her
medicine cupboard, the rest slowed

NEW YORK GRAND JURY MAKES
PERTINENT INQUIRIES IN
REPORT TO COURT.
AFTER OFFICERS OF CORPORATIONS
EVIDENCE SUBMITTED SHOWING.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO PoL.T.
IcAL CAMPAIGNS.

New York, March 1.-THE New York
county grand jury during the day
made a presentment recitjng that the
grand jury had been informed by the
district attorney that there Is reason
able grounds to believe that within
the statute of limitations officers OF
trustees of large corporations nave
contributed money to political cam
paign funds.
The jury asks advice of Justice
O'sullivan of the court of general sesr
sions, to whom the presentment "as
made, as to the future course 70 0e
pursued by the jury. The present.
ment is accompanied by a long state
| ment of facts setting forth that 1t can
| be shown III lawful evidence beyond-a
reasonable doubt that such payments
of money have been made. "
The grand jury finds itself tn douDt
as to whether the making OF these
nayncats constitutes a crime and 1t IS
upon this point especially that the al
vice of Justice O'Sullivan Is askcAs
the grand jury not being willing 70
give further time to inve.stigatioa
along these lines unless the acts that
can be proved to have been committes
were against the law. t,'> ''
The jury asks whether the facts
stated in it's presentment show that
grand larceny has been committed or
if the officials making contributions
have not committed larceny whether
they have committed any other crime.
Another question is wnetner author
ization of the contributions by the fi-
rectors, trustees, stockholders or pol
%icyholders would constitute a ground
for declaring the acts not to be lar
ceny.
Justice O'Sullivan, after hearing ,ne
presentment, replied that he would
advise the grand jury in a few days.

In the course of his remarks he said
that the general staff had prepared
plans for the invasion of China by an
American army, but he added that he
did not mean to go into that subject,
for the secretary of state is sitting on
the lid and l do not believe We are
likely to have war"
MI. Hale said it was the purpose of
the general staf to invade China,
which would be q declaration OF war.
MI. Hale was replying to a question
of Mr.. Tulman, who asked how many
troops had been sent to the Philip
pines wsth q view to their being sent
to China, and MI. Hale said:
Il DO not know how many troops
have been sent there. but think sew
eral thousand: The purpose of the
general staff is that they may be used
to invade China, II any emergency
arises, which, of course, would be a
declaration of war while congress is

Mr.. Warren called attention to the
fact that even with the increase per-
mitted by this bill the medical corps
of the army would still be smaller
than that Of. the navy, but Mr.. Hale
contended that there was no analogy
between the two branches of the serv-
