cided that Mr.. Morgan had conveyed

| plea of not guilty. and sentenced him

lice headquarters took the man 70 the
capital city at noon.
The respondent was arrested by Chief
Sinclair yesterday afternoon on war
rant issued by States Attorney J. Ward
Carver, charging him with vagrancy.

complaints since his return from county
Jail, where he recently finished a ten
days' sentence for intoxication. The
chief found the man in the center of an
admiring group of eonfreres near the
transformer station on River street at

night after being sentenced to death by
summary courtmartial. The execution
was carried out with great secrecy. The
victims were Major Zarate and Major

Public opinion against Gen. Diaz is SC

death may be pronounced on him and
all the officers and government officials

beautiful TO dare wear her locks in style
AZ all unusual or unlike what other women
adont. At the moment there are so many
fashions OF doing the hair that It Is pos
sible TO touch the personal note and at the
same time be in accord with what is mo-
dish.
All winter women have been trying the
little curly bang, and It certainly softens
and becomes many faces From Paris we
have a style of coiffure that includes a
tiny straight bang, and with certain feat
ures the effect is piquant On the other
hand, If a woman has a lovely hair line,
which is about the prettiest feature she can
have. she can easily find a fashion that will
display this One Of the Cut-and-dry rules
about hair dressing. made evidently to be
broken, has been that a woman past
thirty-hve should not wear her hair low.
Now that the low style OF arranging the
hair is even more common than the high,
we discover how softening 1t is to the
features and how well IL covers up one Of
the first signs of years-the falling away
of the flesh tissues about the ears. Many
women who grew up when the pompadour
was the fashion never took the pains to
discover how becoming a parting, either
in the middle or on one side. was TO a GER
tain not uncommon kind of face.
An intelligent hairdresser interviewed on
the subject says that the Marcel wave so
universally adopted few years ago is un-
doubtedly responsible for the wider style of
arrangement permitted to-day. This con-
slant waving resulted in breaking the halr
and to a certain extent in drying the scalp,
