ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 9

THAT woman is rapidly assuming the
physical proportions as we'll as the
mental characteristics OF man is the
opinion expressed by DIR. Dudley A..
Sargent, director OF the Harvard gym
nasium, in recent interview. His
startling conclusion is based in part on
a composite woman nodded from
measurements Of 10000 women, all
taken prior TO the year 1890. Since
then he asserts that women have stead
lily changed. The composite oil these
women was overfeminized with over
large hips, excessively small waist and
small feet. Now he finds the small waist
a thing of the past. The shoulders,
he finds arc becoming square and well
knit. the neck thicker and more muscu-
lar, limbs moro smoothly developed,
her hands and feet larger II the chest
seems fiatter, it is largely because OF the
absence of the corset. which tended to
10 force the breast into abnormalprom-
inence. He attributes the better figure
of women largely 10 the modification OF
the corsets, the other chief reason being
the general indulgence in athletics. AT
the same time Doctor Sargent thinks
that men are tending toward a more
womanish figure.

MRS DAME SEEKS DIVORCE.

Mrs. Mildred G. Dame yesterday in
Circuit Court No. 2 OF Baltimore filed
q bill for divorce from Randolph Dame,
son OF Rev. William M. Dame,
rector OF Memorial Protestant Episco-
pal Church. This action is the second

In the bill filed yesterday Mrs. Dame

bcr 81, 1903, by Rev. William n,

states in her bill, she went to Atlantic
City, and while there received from
him letter in which Mrs. Dame al
legged he stated that he would under

Moore Acquitted.

Vincennes. Ind, Dec. 9.-Mcnlo +.
Moore today was acquitted OF the muir
der OF Charles II. Gibson. the million
aire oil operator. The jury reached a
verdict shortly after midnight last night
and came into court at Q o'clock this
morning, its findings having been sealed
over night by order OF Judge Cobb. The
verdict was generally expected.
Moore shot Gibson at the Union de-
pot here on October third last after Mrs.
Moore had confessed TO her husband
that she had been intimate with the
millionaire.
The acduittal OF Moore was direct
victory for the "unwritten law" for
that was the only plea Moore entered
in his defense.
Mrs. Moore herself took the stand,
and it was the sordid story she sobbed
out. more than anything else, that
brought her husbands acquittsl.
Mrs. Moore swore that Gibson had
long bothered her with his attentions
and that she had spurned him. Finally,
she said, Gibson came to her and told
her her husband was false that he had an
engagement that day with woman in
house out in the country. Wildly
Jealous, the woman agreed to accom-
pany Gibson to the house to verify the
story he told. They entered buggy
and drove several miles into the coun-
try. There Gibson iaduced her to enter
a barn, where she swere he assaulted
her.
After that, Mrs. Moore admitted that
she had been intimate for long time
with Gibson, always under ais threat
to reveal her intimacy to her husband
If she refused. She admitted that often
she had taken trips to Cincinnati and
Louisville with Gibson. while her hus-
band was away on business trips.
Anote, unsigned, was finally sent to
her husband, urging him to watch his
wife more carefully. Moore charged
his wife with her indebtedness and she
confessed to him and told him the
whole story she later told the jury.
She swore that hsr husband acted
like a madman, bereft of all reason.
He was always armed, because he car
ried large sums Of money with him on
his trips through the country.
The day after shs confessed, her hus-
band met Gibson in the railroad depot
and shot him to death.

Conditions In Turkey.

Constantinople, Dec. Clearing a

ship as its object, the minister OF war
today summoned the commanders OF
all garrisons throughout Turkey and
the leading chiefs Of police 10 hasten
to Constantinople for a conference on

The governments movements are
being conducted with the utmost
secrecy, which lends to the belief that
the reports OF widespread reactionary
activity have not been exaggerated.
The danger OF a fresh revolution
airy outbreak has been made immi-
nent by the parliamentary exposures
OF the Young Turks cruelty to their
political enemies, which are said to
rival the worst pages in the history OF
Abdul Hamid, the deposed sultan.
All the reactionary leaders are under
the closest surveillance by the govern
ment and wholesale arrests are ex-
pected.

Major Currie on the floor OF the House
OF Commons at Ottawa, Ont, on We'd
nesday when, in the course oil speech
on the pure food bill, he said that the
great increase in obscure intestinal dis
eases and cancer was caused by the
greatly increased consumption OF cold
storage food. He asked parliament TO
provide a special committee with power
to take evidence in relation to the mat
tiers he complained of, and this will
probably be done. There is no doubt
that intestinal diseases have largely IN
creased since the use Of cold storage
foods has become so general and many

Bryan,s ultImatum.

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. Civilian j..
Bryan today served notice on the dem
ocratic party that he will be fatty
against the nomination OF any eastern
candidate for the presidency in 1912
who has the faint OF Wall street to any
degree. In an editorial in his Com
moner, taken practically as a decIara'
ton OF war, Bryan declares the party
TO be more radical to-day than ever be-
fore. He says:
The democrats are being asked to
accept Wall street leaders, not because
of any democratic principle advanced,
but because Wall street promises vic
tory. Wall street has promised victory
before; it is not a new promise. In
1892 the democratic party won vic
tory on the tariff issue, but as soon as
the election was over the Wall street
financiers demanded the unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law and secured
thereby a shameless use OF the patron
age bv the coercion that they know so
we'll how to practice. And what was
the result? A republican triumph more
sweeping than any before since 1872
and more sweeping than any since ex-
cepting 1904, when Wall street again
promised victory. The defeats OF 1896,
1900 and 1908 we're not so disastrous
as the defeats OF 1894 and 1904. The
party is more radical now than in either
1894 or 1904. What stupid folly TO
think OF winning victory by retreat
and surrender to Wall street"
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. o. "Cannonism
has been overwhelmingly repudiated, "
declares William ]. Bryan, but the
dethronement must be made complete.
In urging Champ Clark TO lead the
fight in the next Congress for the ami
hilation OF the Cannon rules, giving
speaker power to name committees,
Bryan says editorially in bis Commoner
TODAY: THE whole scheme is repugnani
TO the democratic sense OF con
science. The speaker ought Ito be
presiding officer rather than q
boss. He ought to be in position to
decide parliamentary propositions, moi
according to their exigencies, but ON
their merits. The committees ought
to represent the wishes Of tho party
not the wishes OF the man who may
happen to be speaker. Aud the mi
nority members OF the committee
should be free to represent their prin-
ciples and their party without fear o.
the speaker aud without expectation OIL
favor from him. Champ Clark is
lust the man to lead in the inaugural
ton OF this regime. He led in the
overthrow OF Cannonism in the first
session OF the present congress; un'
der the precedent established in the
s lection OF the committee on rules, and
tho selection OF the Ballingor inyestigat-
ing committee makes it easy to extend
the principle to the appointment OF al
the committees. II the democratic
party will have the courage to inaugu'

closed he-e today.
The Sramme for future action was
outlu in resolutions covering the
field generally and asserting that card
inaf principle OF waterway improve
ment should be that only such projects
as are endorsed by the army engineers
should be favored. The resolutions de-
clared that all rivers and harbors work
should be put under the continuing
contract system aud that appropriations
should be provided for their compile
ton As rapidly as is physically possible.
II the current funds OF the govern
ment are not sufficient to provide the
$50, goo, 600. the resolutions declared in
favor Of issuing bonds. 1t was asserted
that the engineer corps OF the army
should be increased at once.
The Congress declared that co-opera-
ton between state and local authorities
as necessary on all local harbor projects
and made general plea for harmony.
1t is suggested that the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission be
enlarged so as to provide regulation Of
