PLANS FOR TONIGHT
Greater Washington Band Furnishes
Inspiring Music Despite Bad
Weather. Dancing is "upular,

The dark, black clouds that gath.
cred in the heavens shortly after
seven o'clock last night were sac
blow to the Elks who had worked hard
to complete the arrangements for the
opening of their big festival at Luna
Park last night. In Washington il
rained in torrents between the hours
OF seven and eight and in consequence
the crowd that visited the park were
not as large as had been expected
But despite the rain those who were
present enjoyed most pleasant even
ing. The Greater Washington Band
furnished the music between showers
and Director Bovel!o ordered that the
most cheerful pieces be played in or
der that the crowd might be enlivened
to the fullest extent.
The members of the Washington
and Alexandria lodges were on the
grounds promptly at seven o'clock
and took charge of the various con-
sessions which were operated by
them. The returns however were not
as large as had been expected owing
to the inclement weather.
There was a bright sport at Luna
Park, however, and that was the dam
cling pavilion. Here, Col. Charles B.
Marshall was in charge, assisted by
the committee that has made such a
success of the dances at the Elks
Home during the past winter. 1t was
one of the dry spots in the park
where the ran could not enter, and in
consequence there was a large crowd
of dancers and spectators.
Tonight will mark the real opening
of the festial, on account OF last
nights weather, and the Elks expect
q large crowd. There is the greatest
amount. of amusements for everyone
and all are invited to join the Elks IN
their big undertaking.

SECOND DAY Of
MRS GRACE'5 TRIAL
Little Georgia Courtroom
Packed to Overlooking.
Many on Sidewalk.
GRACE ON STRETCHER
Scenes of Yesterday Re-Enacted-
Prisoner Strives to Avoid Wound
ed Husbands Eyes.

Atlanta, Ga, July 30.-The second
day of Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace's ordeal
began today with a jostling, curious
mob that engulfed all the corridors of
the courthouse and overflowed out on
the sidewalks.
Despite the pathetic figure pre-
sented in the paralyzed specter that
once was Eugene H. Grace, hail-fel-
low-well-met and scion of an old Geor
gia family, as he lies on a stretcher
in the courtroom, his vengeful eyes
never leaving the face of the wife he
accuses of attempted murder, public
opinion is emphatically with Mrs.
Grace. The defendant is not worrying
over the outcome of the trial. But
she does her best to avoid the bale
full gaze of her husband. The dra-
matte scene of yesterday, when the
wounded man was carried into the
courtroom and Mrs. Grace nearly
swooned was re-enacted again to-
day.
The heat in the little courtroom was
intense. Two hundred people jammed
every seat and were packed in the
isles. The ventilation was abomin-
able and council on both sides protest.
ed against crowding of the room, fear
ing interruption of the trial by faint
ing women.
Grace spent the night at private
sanitarium and was taken to the court
house early this morning. Mrs. Grace
was among the first persons in the
courtroom arriving before the doors
were opened to the spectators. She
took the same seat she occupied yes
terday, but pushed the chair back fur
ther from the place where her hus-
bands cot lay evidently desirous of
avoiding his eyes.
Hc plOSSSuLlull IONeiJ Pie''A
the theory on which they are charg-
ing the former Philadelphian with at
tempted murder of her husband.
As outlined by Solicitor Dorsey, to
the court, the prosecution claims the
murder was planned long in advance.
Mrs. Grace, they charge, made ar
rangements with Mrs. Hill, mother
of Eugene H. Grace, to return to At
lanta, from Newman, Ga, on March
g. Grace planned to go to Philadel-
phia on March 5, and the state claims
that the wife plotted to shoot him ear
ly that morning, lock up the house,
90 to Newman, and on returning with
Mrs. Hill on March 8, discover the
dead body of her husband in his room.
Grace's absence, they said, would be
believed due to his Philadelphia
trip.
Solicitor Dorsey charges that Mrs.
Grace took a black dress to Newman
with her with the specific idea that
if Grace's death were discovered dur
ing her absence, that she would have
proper mourning apparel to put on at
once.
