SHE PICKED The WRONG MAN
Woman With Prominent Jaw Did Not
Get the Seat She So Evil
IDENTIFY Desired.

She had q jaw that somehow re-
minded one OF the cowcatcher on To-
comotive-perhaps because it was al
ways somewhat in advance of her
cOuntenance. Also there was a look
of determination in her eyes, and it
was evident, from the manner in
which she elbowed other passengers
aside, that she had no desire to be re-
garded as a shrinking violet. Yet she
was rather good looking, and she was
dressed in such a manner as to indi-
cate that she was free from the ne
cessity of practicing economy. After
she had fought her way into the car
she looked at the men who were Oc-
cupying seats and then stationed her
self in front of smallish, gray-haired
gentleman whose expression was kind
and even lamblike. ~-.
The woman engaged his attention
by kicking his toes. He curled his feet
back under the seat and continued to
read his paper. Then she "hemmed"
loudly and bumped against his knees.
He looked up at her, indulged in a
sigh of WEAKNESS and tried to make
room for her by crowding closely to
the woman who sat at the left of him.
She declined to bulge, however, and
the old gentleman again turned his
attention to his paper.
Exasperated by such ungallant be-
havior on his part, the woman with
the decisive jaw said in tones that in
no wise suggested the haunting mel
ody Of tinkling brook:
II suppose I'll have to stand all the
way home. I've heard of men who
had the decency to get up when the
cars were crowded, but guess they're
all dead" =
MADAM" the little old gentleman
mildly remarked, II would give you
my seat, but I'm saving it for lady"

Children are much more likely to
contract the contagious diseases when
they have colds. Whooping cough,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and con-
sumption are diseases that are often
contracted when the child has cold.
That is why all medical authorities
say beware of colds. For the quick
cure of colds you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It can always be depende
upon and is pleasant and safe to take.

Union Aid Before Confession
Justified, Says Counsel.
M'MANIGAL "ARCH FIEND"
Jury Warned Against Wrecking
Forty Lives on Suspicious
and differences.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 20.-Four attorneys
argued before the jury to-day in behalf
~ the forty union men alleged TO have
heen engaged In "A nationwide dynamite
conspiracy. Those who made the aisu-
ments were NJ. G. Tint. Minneapolis;
Henry / Nowlan, Peoria, Ill; William a.

ARGUMENTS for the government Will then
begin. The Jury probably will be charged
nv Judge Anderson Thursday or Friday.
eft has been charged repeatedly BY the
government" said Mr.. Tint in his argu-
mont to-day, that these defendants
showed their implication in the dynamite
plots because of their efforts 10 help the
McNamaras while the McNamaras were
locked up In Los Angeles and before they
pleaded guilty. Having every confidence
that John j. Mcnamara. their brother
union official, was Innocent, II was the
duty Of these defendants to help them.
He added:
The very enormity Of the crime at Los
Angeles. the very boldnesS and extent 10
which explosions secretly had been car
ried on for years. made IL unthinkable
that the secretary OF the lronworkeIs In
ternational Union committed them or
caused them to be committed. Had the
defendants raised a defence fund after
the Mcnamara brothers pleaded guilty
then they would have been subject 10
criticism, but not otherwise. John j. was
the brains of the plots, and these men,
scattered over the country, were not
closely enough associated with HIM 10
have become acquainted with his Grim
inal acts.
III you believe these men are guilty
1t is your duty TO convict them, but If
you undertake TO piece the evidence to-
gether with suspicious and differences you
should think OF the lives YOU are about
to wreck" said Mr.. Nowlan in his argu-
ment. Mr.. Nowlan referred to Ortie Nc
Manigal as an arch iend." saying:
Chiefly upon the word OF this confessed
criminal you are asked to separate forty
men from their homes and deprive them
Of their liberty. or course. Mechanical
never expected TO tell his story. In trav-
cling about the country blowing up non
union jobs he had no future object in
view when he saw "a many people as
possible and left behind him evidence OF

ately plan 10 implicate others. He was
not twice brought from Los Angeles for

These rates are far below those main
tanned by the New Haven road and are
said TO be lower than those made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission for New
Jersey.
IL developed Yesterday that all OF the
various commuters leagues and boards
OF trade which have been fighting the
high rates on the New Haven road for
the last three years are not entirely IN
harmony. and do not all view yesterdays
action OF the Public Service Commission
ers in the same light.
Hugh VI. Hewson. attorney for Percy
ID. Adams. president OF the Greenwich
Board OF Trade. who is conducting
more or less individual fight against the
New Haven. said:
Instead OF being elatcd at the lower
ing OF the Westchester road rates, we are
certain that the commuters on the New
Haven line are now paying for the con-
struction and maintenance OF a road that
Will not pay for Itself in fifty years"
Mr.. Hewson pointed out that the low
rates are guaranteed only for year
and ne seemed very much afraid that the
Westchester a Boston road would do as
the New Haven road had done-get the
people settled along the new line and
then shoot up the rates. Mr.. Adams, who
is an attorney. said that he was not GER
tain that the rates on the new road would

the new road was a part OF Mellcn's
patch.
Joseph A. Wood. OF Mount Vernon
special attorney In the action brought by
the city of Mount Vernon In July, 1910,
said that he. too. was confident that yes
terday's decision was a certain indica-
ton of the sort OF decision that would be
given as to the rates of Mount Vernon
commuters Mr.. Wood said further that
he thought the directors of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford road were them
selves satisfied that the raising of rates
was n big error. '"They are at heart
glad" he said, for these reductions; 1t
is an easy way out OF their mistake.'
