respective merits of two fashionable magazines that are published for women.
 One preferred "The Explainer," let us say-that's as good name for it as any thing else-and the other was equally strong for "The Latest Wrinkle"
 It wasn't what I'd call profitable argument, for one of the women does all of her sewing on single thread ohain-stitch machine. and you know a woman who uses that kind of ma chine can't help feeling little superior to--say-one who uses a two-thread machine and stitches hems on the wrong side and can't rip tuck out with derrick.
 But if it wasn't a profitable argu- ment it certainly was an earnest one.
 'rThe Explainer patterns never fit well over the shoulders" one Insisted, "and they are always just little behind the fashion. I never had any success mak- ing my clothes until I began to take The Latest Wrinkle"
 q don't see how on earth you can cut anything by their patterns said the other. Their skirts never hang right; I always find such new up-to- date ideas in The Explainer. There's tremendous difference in the patterns" And so they discussed the subject da oapo, fortissimo, diminuendo, andante, allegro, and all the other 57 various ways. and each had the same convic- tion that she had when she started
 An Explainer pattern is no more like Latest Wrinkle pattern than an aero plane is like an automobile" said one, and that seemed to settle the ques- ton.

FORESEE FAILURE
IN PROSECUTION
OF MRS.. vERM|LYA
Chicago Police Able to Get Only
C~ircumstantial Evidence
in Poison Case.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The police ad-
mitted today they had practically
reached the end of the rope in their
investigation into the death of Patrol
man Arthur Bissonette, and the deaths
of eight others, all of whom had been
close associates of Mrs. Louise Yer
milya. Although Coroner Hoffman has
satisfied himself h a Bissonette died
by arsenic poisoning, and a warrant
charging murder has been issued for
the woman, the evidence against her
thus far is purely circumstantial.
Arthur Bissonette. senior, father Of
the dead policeman, today described
Mrs. Vermilya's efforts to obtain his
sons body for burial after his death.
"An undertaken named C. C. Boyson
was making ready to move the body five
minutes after DEATH he said. 81 pro-
tested at the. hurry and she insisted
that It would be better to move the
body at once. ! finally forbade them to
touch it."
The contents of nine bottles of medi-
cine taken from Mrs. Vermilya's home
by the coroner are being analysed.

MONEY TRUST TO
HOLD SALE Of ITS
FORBIDDEN STOCK
Rockefeller and Morgan Bank,
Fearing Prosecution, Will
Sell Oatside Securities.

NEW YORK, Nov. Al. P. Morgan
and the Rockefellers. owners of the
National City Bank and heads of the
so-called Money Trust, have decided
to relax the grip which for years they
ave had on numerous banks, trust
companies and other financial institu-
tions in this country, South America
and the West Indies.
They have ordered the trustees Of
their National City Company, the con
Germ which held the stocks of the bank
ing corporations on behalf of the Ma
tional City Bank, to dispose of them
and to deposit the proceeds in the City
Bank to the account of the company.
Confirmation of this came from
Washington in the shape of dispatches
telling that Acknowledgement Wicker
sham, in a report on his investigation
of the National City Banks case, had
charged that the National City Com
pany was a Money Trust in embryo,
formed and controlled by the National
City Bank in order to evade the law
prohibiting the holding by national
hanks of stocks in other banks.
1T seems generally understood in Of
fcial circles the Washington dis
patches continued, that the attorney
genera is prepared to proceed against
the company If his findings are sus-
tanned by President Taft.
Meanwhile it has been reported to
the department of justice that the Ma
tional City Bank and the National city
Company were arranging to let go some
of their holdings in minor banks and
trust companies, but there has been no
evidence that they intend to abandon
their interest in the dozen or so or
prominent banks which contribute to
their powerful position
According to Wall Street reports yes
terday the securities which Morgan and
the Rockefellers have decided that their
National City Company shall sell are
to be disposed of quietly to friends and
associates, men who have interests In
common with those of the money
kings.
The value of the stocks which thus
will pass out of the direct control OF
the National City Company is various
Nv estimated. According to the report
made by the National City Bank to
the comptroller of currency just prior
to the formation of the National City
Company the bank held what 1T termed
stocks, bonds and mortgages" to the
value of SAB, S72, 300. The major portion
of this sum-, it is believed, represented
holdings in banks, trust companies and
other financial institutions which II
has now been decided to sell.
