In time the upper turn Of the steel

Housewives League
 In New Haven Now

New Haven, May 7.-The House wives league has now invaded New Haven and judging from the enthusi- asm with which the housewives, long submissive to the wiles of the. trades man, vaunt the league buttons, which are so strongly indicative of rebellion against high prices and unsanitary shops, it is bound to be popular here. The local branch was formed yester- day afternoon at the Household Economic exhibition, after Mrs. Jul ian Heath, of New York. the founder of the league. had made suchs a thrilling address that her hearers were ashamed to think of their own cowardice in the past, in being bullied into silence by the glib tongue of the shopkeepers.
 s"The control of the cost of living lies with, the consumer, the woman with the dollar in her pocket" Said Mrs. Heath. International, munici- pal and state investigations are going on, but yet it is the housewives who must solve the problem She urged all to do their buying by the pound, or by measure, and to insist that it be exact. "Foodstuffs Tn packages" she declared, fare small in measure and light in weight, and after thorough investigation, have been found to be no purer than that put up in the bulk under sanitary conditions, and the consumer must always pay for the ex- tra packing"

hadn't. If you can't get a. suit f1t- ted properly. what good does it do you?'
 There was sympathy galore for the person who doesn't get his tailor suits properly fitted.
 There was little difficulty in drawing the jury in the morning, as the jurors were passed with perfunctory ques- tions only, but Mrs. Adelia Leighton and Miss Grace Eggers, daughter of Sheriff Eggers, were dismissed on a peremptory challenge from the defen- dant. Later, when it was found that all the other women subpoenaed had gone home and a new venire would have to be drawn the objection was withdrawn and Mrs. Leighton and Miss Eggers returned smilingly to their duty. That they bore no malice was proved by the fact that they were two of the most enthusiastic adher- ents of the defendants interests.
 Mrs. Leighton was chosen forewom- an. although later one juror referred to her as "our president and joined heartily in the laugh which followed.
 Pretty little Miss Berendes, who had trouble making people believe. she was of age, was hatless when the jury appeared to give it's verdict, and she later said that her smart little close fitting bonnet of gold braid, tiny pink rosebuds and fluffy wings of pink tulle had been removed not in the heat of battle but for a ballot box and she had collected the votes of the jurors.

.Ex-PrieSt'S Gems
 May Be. Madonna's
Suggestion That Hoard Found in Suicides Home in Berlin
 Came From Polish Shrine

Berlin, May 7-It is suggested in today's zeitung am Mittag that the extraordinary collection of jewels that was discovered in the dwelling here of the former priest Liebe, who com mitted suicide, is connected with the murder and robbery at the monastery of Czenstochowa, in Russian Poland.
 Last February three Catholic priests of the famous Pauline Convent of Helene Matsoh were charged with murder, sacrilege, and other crimes. Czenstochowa has long been known as the Polish Lourdes. It's famous image of the Virgin attracts over 3 million pilgrims annually. The statue of the Madonna was adorned with a diamond crown and studded with jewels presented by grateful pilgrims.
 Four years ago a beautiful young Polish girl visited the shrine and con- fessed to a young monk, Damas Mat soh, that she had resolved to commit suicide owing to an unhappy love af- fair. Matsoh persuaded her to desist. Afterward she grew to love. him and used to visit him frequently 1n his cell at the monastery.
 Then, to gratify her whims, Matsoh began to remove gems from the image of the Madonna and to. substitute sham stones. Eventually he induced his cousin, vaclah Matsoh, to marry the girl He continued to visit her at Warsaw, where she lived in great lux ury, and he used to take to her more of the Madonna's jewels.
 Then, in 1909, the Madonna's da- mond crown disappeared, and Vaclah Matsoh threatened to inform the po- lice. His cousin the priest invited him to his cell in the monastery one night and, after making him drunk, strang- led him. The body was then sewed up in sofa and the sofa was thrown into the river. .s-s-s;. -:.5, .s.szss
 Liebe once served as chaplain in Silesia, and while there is said to have associated with Russian monks who figured in the Czenstochowa scandal a.i-A,
 The police have been asked to find out whether the gems hoarded by Liebe tally with the jewels stolen from the Madonna's image.

THE FIRST WOMAN JURY
Decided Against the Tailor in the Matter of the Fit of a Suit
 of Clothes.

Twelve good women and true." de- eided yesterday in jury assembled that tailor suits that do not fit need not, be paid for in full.
 Consequently F. w. von Schrader, Jr., will not have to pay the balance of $69 for which he was sued in Jus tice of the Peace Barnett's court by Harry s. Ripley. For the first time in San Francisco properly qualified technically correct, duly sworn jury of women on the same basis as their brother electors was obtained to try a case. This was at the request of the defendant.
 There was no frivolity in the minds or conduct of these pioneer jurywo- men. Testimony was heard and weigh ed with closest attention the clothes were eyed with the keen insight which every normal woman possesses in such matters and the hour and a quarter required to find a verdict was devot- ed to heated argument.
 1t was a day in which was much technical information as to the set of rollars, varying fashions of coats. de- tails as to "busheling," qualifications necessary for experts and their testi- mony, when is a fit not fit, how many alterations accompany every suit, relative prices of clothes up and down town, ana 1ke Wlil-O the wisp, floating in and out, just what Is an "exclusive pattern" Also there was a vast amount of objecting on the part of the attorneys for both Iides, much argument as to financial and other details, some jocosities, the interjection of more or less uncom- pIimentary personalities. during all of which the women se- silently and as times gravely bored when the main gss1e seemed befOgged.
 It was entirely on the merits of the fit that the jurors decided the case.
