TWO WITNESSES FROM
 THE WEST TESTIFY

Springfield, Mass, November 20.-Two witnesses from the far west today testi- fled for the defense in the trial of Bertram G. Spencer, charged with the murder in March, 1910, of Miss Martha B. Black stone. They are Dr. Henry Lamonte of Seattle, Wash, and Mrs. Charles s. Lew is of Oakland, Cal.
 Mrs. Lewis testified to several violent outbreaks on Spencer's part when the de- fendant was living at Oakland. A deposi- ton from Mrs. Anita Markham of Oak land was read. Mrs. Markham is the wife of cousin of Spencer and it was at her home Spencer lived during his stay in Oakland in 1904 and 1905.
 Appended to Mrs. Markham's deposit . tion was letter which Spencer had writ ten to Mrs. Markham since his arrest for the murder of Miss Blackstone. In the letter, which was addressed to Dear Cousin Anita" Spencer wrote that he could hardly believe that he had been rob- bing and stealing all his life and that he shot and killed poor defenseless woman, xxhJrl, under ordinary circum- stances, he would have laid down his own life to protect.
 Dr. Lamonte testified that he had been member of the Roosevelt Rough Rid CTS during the Spanish-American war, hnd was allowed to relate strange actions of the defendant while at Newport R. L., where pr. Lamonte was naval surgeon.

SECOND TRIAL OF
 HYDE BEGINNING Arguments as to Testimony to Be Introduced Oc-
 cupies the Day

Kansas City, November 20.-Arguments defining the boundaries of the territory of testimony to be permitted at the second trial of Dr. B. Clark Hyde for the alleged murder of Col. Thomas H. Swope by pois- oning, occupied most of the time of the afternoon session of court today. When adjournment was taken tonight Senator Reed, who is assisting the prosecution, had not finished the states opening state ment.
 MT. Reed was interrupted in his state nent when e said the prosecution in tended to prove by new evidence that Dr. Hyde had also poisoned Christman IT. Swope, brother of Mrs. Hyde and nephew of the aged colonel. Frank P. Walsh for the defense argued against the admission of such testimony.
 The state in attempting to show that Christman Swope was poisoned is trying to establish that Dr. Hyde had a general scheme by which he planned to wipe out the entire Swope family and thus divert the Swope fortune to his wife as the only remaining heir.
 The state contends that the introduction of testimony regarding Christman SwCpe is necessary to the prosecution.
 The Missouri supreme court, in revers- ing the verdict found against Hyde at the first trial, declared the testimony intro- duced at that trial by the state failed to show any motive for the murder of Colo nel Swope.
 The supreme court pointed out that Christman Swope did not die of poison, but of typhoid fever. as shown by the evidence Arguments on the admission of testimony regarding Chrstman were still going on when the court day came to a close.
 Judge Porterfied has barred all testi- mony on the subject of the typhoid epi- demc in the Swope household. The fever, the state alleged In the first trial, was caused by pr. Hyde inoculating the victims with germs. Testimony regarding the alleged bleeding to death of Moss ,Hunton by pr. Hyde also has been or dered not admitted by the judge, and it iis probable that all reference to the illness of Margaret Swope, also attributed to pr. Hyde will be ruled out.

from dngy, work marked hands.
 'erhis maid told me that some women of social position who are compelled to worry along on limited incomes do their own laundry work. By wishing the clothes themselves they whiten the hands and add to their own beauty. When ID comes to drying them they have system that is fast gaining vogue. The clothes are thrown into q big open mesh canvas bag, and this is hung on the line The clothes dry just as well, but it takes an hour longer. t3ss .
 50 much for laundry work as 8 hand whitener The carbolic treatment IS very good, but one must use plenty of common sense along with four drops of carbolic acid and whole basin of water Thc carbolc acid is put in and we'll stirred ln the lukewarm water.
 .Tn Newport they have other ways of keeping the hands like white pigeon wings. They take potato and boil It in soft water. When.H is all pulp they strain off the water, heat 1t with little borax and hold the hands in 1t. Result whitening such as no one ever imasn-s before. Queen Mary, whose hands are q great beauty, whitens them by us'ns home made soap jelly, a cut lime. iettucs water and white grape juice.
 s'They have a great way of fixing haniS for dinner at the fashionable resorts here and abroad. had mine done in this way. I had them soaked in the potato water to- begin, with They they Were spattedy with skin food until not part1- cle Of grease remained on the surface aild then they were rubbed with complexion powder exactly the color of my own skln- This rubbing with powder is important. It takes five minutes. yet 1t Is done so gently that the hands are not reddened. It is an art that requires a trained maid or a great deal of home talent.
 "Pushing back the cuticle around tne nails is something that is not done all at once. It should be performed twice a day the year round The results will be moons at the base. They cannot be coaxed into sight, in i5 minutes by tho manicure. Like hair training, it is the work of months. years.
 .'Women whose hands are in poor shape always sit with the fingers curled under. The perfect repose of the hands demands that the fingers lie almost at full length with stiff. ladylike grace.
 Again, the hands must have fingers that can separate. The fingers of women who have worked too had or have neg 'ected the hands have astendency to cling together. It is amazing how difficult 1t fs to curve the little finger unless one Is in practice. The nails need not be very long. ''The plump hands of the Rapphael pic lures are intensely admired. To plump out the hands needs special skill. It taxes leisure, care and q certain tranquility of | disposition to make the flesh take on that soft plump look which one notices, for instance. in Raphaels Madonna of the Chair.
 Soaking the hands in sweet cream plumps them; washing them in whole miix plumps and whitens, and daily bath in milk in which oatmeal has simmered is one of the best hand remedies.
 f"Hand exercises are good. but they must be very gentle or they will knot the
 joints.

Butter Tasters" as Money

From the NeW 1OTh Ouli.
 ssButter tasters' is the name children give to the violet tinted, worn fragments of clam shells that are found on most beaches. These ''butter tasters.' accord ing to a writer in Handcraft were an inn portant medium of exchange among the Indian tribes living asong the shore in treir trading with other natives further inland.
 It can readily be understood that In- dians, sufficiently adept in the art Of chipping arrow heads, and other imple- ments of hard flint, could easily manu- facture rude money" out of the more attractive colored pieces of these water worn shells: and this they did, giving 10 this medium of exchange the name Luckahauk. somewhat after the style of wampums.
 It may be surprising to many, espe- cially to craft workers, to know what really beautiful stones these same so called Luckahauks will produce when cut and polished into symmetrical form from pieces of sufficient thickness ana showing the rich and beautiful velvet coIoring that many of them possess.

LABOR SITUATION
APPROACHING CRISIS

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Following the
fiat refusal of President c. H. Mark
ham of the Illinois Central railroad
to recognize the federation of SHOP
men, twenty-seven delegates repre-
senting nine crafts today held several
conferences and kept in close touch
with the situation in San Francisco
where Vice President julius Krut'
schnitt of the Hartman lines is meet
ing with union labor leaders.
Three courses are said to be open
to the leaders of eight thousand shop.
men employed by the Illinois Central
railroad: To call out the shopmen
employed by tie Illinois Central at
once either in separate strike or in
connection with general strike of
all shopmen on Hartman lines.
To serve thirty days notice abro-
eating the existing wage agreements
withholding strike order until expir.
alton of that period and in the mean
time make an effort to resume negoti-
ations for peace with railroad officials.
To recede from their demand that
railroads recognize federation organi-
cation of shop employees. 1t is believ-
ed that one of these alternatives will
be decided on in the near future.
