of the board, beard Walsh's appeal for
a parole. Mr.. Ladow said it is con-
trary to the custom Of the department
to disclose its action, whether favorable
or adverse, on petitions for par ole. The
Walsh case will 90 directly to the At
torney general for final decision and it
will be for him to decide whether pub
licity shall be given to the parole board

The session OF the U nited States
Supreme Court, which began at noon
today, will be closely watched by Hir-
glnians who are interested in the effort
of Virginia to have the State OF West
Virginia pay up in the debt case. A
short time ago Acknowledgement Sam
uel W. Williams, OF Virginia, filed in
the court motion asking that this
matter be reopened for the purpose OF
referring to special master the ques'
ton OF the amount OF interest which
should be paid by West Virginia on
the principal of $4,000 which the
Supreme Court has already declared is
due Virginia from West Virginia. Not
only this, but many others local cases
are docketed and will be heard before
the court goes into recess again.
When the court meet today the State
OF Virginia also presented motion to
the court the purpose OF which IS to
force West Virginia to pay the portion
of the state debt for which it was held
liable by the court last year.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Immediately upon his arrival at the
Department Of Justice today Attorney
General Wickersham went into confer
ence with Solicitor Genela al Lehman and
Assistant Attorney General Fowler, the
two officials in charge OF trust insesti-
cations. While no statement was
forthcoming from the department, it is
known that the attorney general dis.
closed to his assistants the results OF his
conferences with representatives OF sew
erai trusts in New York. That there
will be no immediate announcement
of the future course Of the department
is indicated by the fact that Lehman
and Fowler will have to study the pro-
posals submitted by the trusts for the
purpose OF determining whether the
reorganizations proposed will avoid all
conflict with the Sherman antitrust
law. This work will occupy several
days, and may be prolonged for q few
weeks, owing to the unusually large
number of government cases pending
10 the Supreme Court. Although At
torney General Wickersham could not
be seen, his office force had instructions
to reiterate his official statement that
no one was authorized to speak for him
and that any announcement that he IS
prepared to proceed against the United
States Steel Corporation is without au-
thority.
The United States Supreme Court
confronted With problems the solution
OF which will have most important
bearing upon the political and eco
nomic development OF the nation, con-
vened at noon today for the October
term. Chief Justice White and all OF
the associate justices except Justice
Day. whose wife is i'll, were present: 10
the enclosure reserved for the membtrs
of the bar were the legal forces OF the
Department. OF Justice arrayed under
the leadership OF the attorney general.
There was an array OF attorneys re-
tanned as counsel who are prepared to
fight to the finish many important
legal battles. The hearing OF argu-
ments will not begin until tomorrow.
At that time the first of the important
cases which have been assigned tor
hearing before the call OF the regular
docket will be taken up. The question
as to how far the state railroad COM
missions may exercise control in re-
ducing or adjust rate on intrastrate
commerce; the question OF the consti-
nationality OF the initiative and referen'
dunn method OF government, and the
question as to what extent the Sher-
man antitrust law may be applied to
various kinds OF combinations are in
cluded in the cases set for early hear
ing.

tuted three years ago to test the COM
potency of Mrs. Eddy to manage her
affairs. He was accompanied by his
daughter, Mary Baker Glover, and by

George Washington Glover is the

In 1907 he, with other relatives of
Mrs. Eddy, instituted suit to test the
competency of the latter to administer
her property. Various court hearings
were held and a good deal of evidence
was presented on both sides. Sudden
Iy the suit was withdrawn and little
later a settlement was made, by the
terms of which Mr. Glover and his
family received $245,000 and Ebenezer

Mrs. Eddy's adopted son relinquished
rights or expectant interests in Mrs.

New Wrinkle for Trousers.

IF you are your own valet said a
tailor-"and most men are--then let
me tellsypu a valuable secret how to
keep your trousers creased. One
pressing a month, by this method. will
do as much good as two DRESSINGS a
week, old style.
First, you must have a tiny tuck,
not more than sixteenth of an inch
wide, made down the inside of the
trousers, back and front, so as to hold
the crease together Then, for every
pressing the trousers must be soaped
inside.
1.-THE soap, after the hot iron has
done it's work, makes the cloth as firm
as iron. The tuck keeps the creases
always bold and sharp. Result-a per-

consumer shall be eliminated He
says:
"A bushel of beans brings the Flor
ida producer 1925. The S00-mile haul
to New York by the railroads costs so
cents. But the consumer pays S6.40
for the bushel of beans. The pro-
Queer receives 35 per cent, the trans.
porter eight per cent, and the dealers
81 per cent
THE average price for eggs paid to
the farmers of Arkansas and Missouri
is Is cents. For the 1,300-mile haul to
New York, including breakage, the
railroads charge two cents. But the
average cost of eggs to the consumer
is 30 cents. In other words the men
who receive these eggs in the morning
In New York and deliver them, per-
haps before night charge 10 cents a
dozen for their work.
The rice farmers of Texas, Louisi-
ana and Arkansas cannot sell their
rice for more than 21a cents pound
The consumer in New York Is paying
ten cents pound for rice 1t costs to
transport rice from Texas, Louisiana
and Arkansas to New York one-half
cent pound. If the rice farmer were
paid 32 cents pound and the dealer
received one cent pound, which is
20 per cent. profit, rice could be sold
in New York at 20 pounds for a dollar.
What am trying to make clear is that
the rice farmer could receive one cent
pound more for his rice and the con-
sumer could get twice as much for the
same money If through proper organi-
cation the product could go from the
farm to the consumer, leaving one
cent pound to the dealer
According to Secretary Wilson, in
rs cities where the matter was inves-
tigated, the farmers receive less than
90 per cent. Of what the consumers
pay for milk, the railroads seven per
cent. and the dealers 43 per cent.
On articles of food for which the
farmers receive $274,289,000 the
freight bill was $25,045, 900 and the ex-
penses and profits of the middlemen
were $164,S13,000 In other words, in
addition to the freight, the expenses
OF handling and the profits were over
sixty per cent
THE problem Is not one of trusts
and tariffs, but of providing some sys-
tenn Of getting food products from pro-
Queer to consumer without so much
expense and SO many profits"

task to weld them into harmonious

One of the problems submitted to

Weights for Dresses.

The system of weighing the new
costumes is intricate and interesting,
and eight or ten pounds of lead are
often put into very fashionable skirt
to give it the proper effect of limp
ness and straightness.
Dozens of tiny fiat weights, strung
on cord, are run through tape cast.
ings and sewed into the skirt under
tucks or other trimmings at the knee
and at the lower edge.
One string of these lead weights
long enough to go all around the
skirt weighs nearly four pounds.

All Directoire Styles.

All DirectoIre Styles.
In many costumes we have the dt.
rectoire style in all It's purity. And
the material of this model is worthy
of note. 1t is the old styled velvet
and satin stripe of which our great
grandmothers were so fond. In this
sketch you will notice the waist belt
of silk cord, the ends finished off
with tassels. These cords are rapidly
rushing into favor and we shall find
them on many of the best winter
models. Also we have the long tight
sleeves, with curved cuffs, Of which 4
spoke a little while ago This par
ticular shape is carried out in trans
parent materials for evening wear ana
in dress stuffs for mornings or after
moons. From shoulder to wrist the
sleeve is almost tight fitting and at
the arm hole 1t is as plain as the
sleeve of a mans coat.
A deep rose red cloth would look
well made In the simple style de-
picted In our illustration; the upper
part OF front OF skirt is prettily cut
and laid over the sides In a wrapped
seam; band of finely tucked crepe
decline to match divides the upper
and lower part of skirt; the latter is
perfectly plain.
The front of bodice is cut to match
that of skirt; shaped bands of tucked
material edge the yoke and over.
sleeves, these are cut in with sides
of bodice; piece lace forms the unders
sleeves and yoke.
Hat of black Tagal straw, trimmed
with a large sprigged net bow and a
ring of red roses.
