JUDGE MUzzLES PRESS.
Forbids Testimony in Murder Case
Being Printed in Papers.

Amite, La.-Judge Ellis issued per-
emptory orders Wednesday forbidding
newspaper representatives from sending
out, either verbatim or in substance,
the testimony of witnesses in the trial
of Avery Blount for the killing of
Benjamin Breeland, his wife and daugh-
ter.
He reinforced the order by the dec
laration that if it was violated all news
paper men would be barred from the
courtroom, and, if necessary, sent to
Jail. There are nine trials yet to be
held that will be directly or indirectly
affected by the present hearing, and the
securing of juries for the rest of them
may be made impossible, says the
prosecution, by publication of the testi-
mony.
The Judges action provoked strong
protest from the newspapers represent
ed, in view of the deep public interest
attaching to the trial. Tonight Judge
Ellis informed the newspaper men in
attendance that he had concluded he
would not try to prevent them from
sending out their reports in full, but
that he had directly appealed to their
papers not to print the testimony.

sHAWLs NOW THE FASHION.
Made of Crepe and Silk, They Are
Seen Everywhere.

One who is in Paris writes that the
fashion of the day Is for shawls made
of crepe and silk. They are worn in
Highland fashion, with the right end
thrown over the left shoulder
All edges are heavily fringed and
there is lovely border in rich colors.
These are worn by women who are
driving, by those sitting in boxes at
the theater and by those wearing
smart one apiece costumes at after
noon affairs.
The best ones are in cream, in
white and in black, but all have the
colored border
The most desired shawl is one Of
real Chinese crepe. These come in
many colors, with heavy embroidery
and deep, thick silk fringe.
This has succeeded the Spanish
shawl, which began the popularity.
Just why this fashion came about
no one knows. If it had begun in
London the reason would be simple,
because Edward VII. revived his
mothers custom this Christmas OF
sending out half hundred Indian
shawls as gifts to his friends.

FATHER KILLS HIS DAUGHTER
Tragedy Occurred in Crowded New
York Thoroughfare.

New York.-Within sight of several
of her school teacher friends and pupils
on the way to school, through crowd
ed street ON the upper east side today,
Miss Anna A Mangano, teacher in the
public school on East One Hundred and
Second street, was shot and instantly
killed by her father, court interpreter,
who had been following his daughter
and calling to her to stop. AS she kept
hurrying on, he drew his revolver from
his overcoat pocket and fired two shots
at his daughter. He then turned the
revolver on himself, but was prevented
from carrying out his purpose by a
young man, who grappled with Nam
gano. Two more shots were fired while
the men struggled, but both went wild.
Mangano broke away, but was over
taken and arrested by two policemen.
Several school teachers who were pass
ing ran to the place where the girl fell
and Immediately identified her. She
was dead when they reached her.

Amethxsts for Day Wear.

For day wear amethysts are I'M
doubtedly the fashion. The really well
dressed woman has sets of these. hat
pins. long watch chain and brooch to
match. In most of the hat pins the
stone is elongated or spherical.
There are some of the prettiest long
chains in which the amethysts are cut
square and quite fiat, and the links OF
the chain are of gold and about half
inch in length. This is a smart de-
sign and looks equally well when worn
with either a tailored or lingerie waist.
Lapis lazuli is also popular and be-
coming for brooches. Large square
or acknowledged ones, set in silver,
are very stylish, worn at the throat to
hold ones jabot in place.

THE USEFUL OUTER SLEEVE.
Many Ways by Which Continuance
May Be Made UP.

Now that long sleeves are once
more in, women must resort to outer
sleeves as protection if they are work
ing or writing. This need is Often
filled by sleeves of folded handker-
chiefs, but the chief objection to them
is that they require too frequent
washing.
Quickly made and convenient pro-
tectors can be made from sheets OF
stiff writing paper, commercial size.
Use the paper crosswise, fold BACK
the two lower corners about half the
depth of the sheet and turn in the
upper halves and across the top to the
depth of an inch This gives. firm
surface to hold pins and the turned
back corners enable the cuff to reach
nearly to the elbow on the back OF the
arm where the sleeve rubs without
interfering with the action OF the
arm
These paper cuffs can be used sew
eral times before they need be thrown
away.
Another convenient cuff is made
from white oilcloth. These should be
long enough to reach to the elbow at
the back of the arm and should slope
well below the bend of the arm IN
front. Sew in seam and punch TWO
small holes on each side OF the seam
at the top of the cuff, through winch
to pin small safety pin.
That the safety pin may not eyer
he missing. attach one to each cuff
with a short tape These oilcloth GUNS
can be washed off and have the ad-
vantage of lasting longer than paper
without needing the washing OF mus
lin or handkerchief protectors.

WILL FIGHT SPECIAL TAX
MAY REDUCE ANNUAL Elk
PENDITURES.
Senator Aldrich Opposes Inheritance
Tax-Finance Committee Against
All Forms of Stamp Tax.

Washington.--That determined. ef-
fort will be made to reduce public ex-
penditures to such an extent that gov
ernmental needs may be met by reve-
nues derived from duties on imports, and
without resorting to any of the special
taxation schemes that have been sug-
gested in connection with tariff revision,
is indicated by remark made Tuesday
by Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
senate committee on finance.
Mr.. Aldrich was asked to give his
opinion of the plan enormously accred-
tied to President Taft to place tax
on dividends declared by corporations.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that he had not
given thought to it, and added that he
would not concern himself with any of
the various plans to raise revenues by
special taxes until it could be ascer-
tanned how much revenue could be pro-
duced by levying duties ON imports, and
whether the running operations OF the
government could not be decreased so
as to make special taxes unnecessary.
Great significance is attached to the
remark made by Mr.. Aldrich. 1t is as
serted upon what is thought to be ac-
curate information that majority OF
the members of the finance committee
regard with disfavor the proposed in
heritance tax feature, the proposed in
come tax, levies upon dividends of cor
porations, tax ON coffee and practically
all forms of stamp taxes.
1t is recognized that in the form in
which the Payne bill was reported to
the house from the ways and means
committee, sufficient revenues to pay
the running expenses of the government
cannot be collected from duties on i'm
ports alone. The inference drawn from
Mr.. Aldricn's expression, therefore, is
that the revision of the tariff must be
of an upward trend. and that the con-
gress must curtail the tendency to ex-
pand annual appropriations at each sue
ceeding session of congress.

As the matter now stands, as between

For clammy Hands.

A good cure for that trying ailment,
hands that are clammy or perspire, is
to keep on your dressing table a small
cheesecloth bag filled with one part
borax and three parts starch. This if
busted over the palms of the hands
when they feel sticky will quickly
check the moisture.
Another help is to keep bottle of
alcohol in convenient place and wipe
