St. Louis, July 26.-"Trousers would he infinitely more decent than the short, clinging skirts the present. day girl affects" said Mrs. Dan w.. Knefler, president of the Women's Trade Union League, as she discuss ed a proposed campaign by mothers against the dress evil.
 "Women may wear tights on the stage without an idea of impropriety," she continued, but if they add flimsy, gauzy drapery, they are not tolerated. So women and girls might wear trousers with greater proprlety than the tight garments that not only reveal the lines of the figure but ac- centuate them"

NO HOLIDAY IN UNION TRIAL
Governments Argument Will Be in
Full Swing on Christmas Day.

Indianapolis, Dec. 22.-Four mere
days of argument will confront the
jury when the dynamite conspiracy
trial is resumed tomorrow.
One and one-half days remain for
the defense of the forty men on trial,
in whose behalf Senator John w.
Kern and William Ii. Harding will
speak. Two and one-half days will
be used by District Attorney Charles
W. Miller. On Christmas Day the
Government will be in the midst Of
its argument that all of the defen-
dants were implicated in the Nc
Namara dynamite plots.
1t is expected that Judge Albert B.
Anderson's charge TO the jury will
begin next Friday morning. The
court has already stated that the law
bearing up on the conspiracy charges
will be set forth clearly, and that the
jurors will be instructed just what
evidence to apply to certain of the
defendants. This is a trial not of
labor unionism, but of labor union
officials accused of wrongdoing"
Judge Anderson has said repeatedly.
Both Senator Kern and Mr.. Harding
say that they will speak particularly
in behalf of Olaf A. Tveitmoe and
Eugene A. Clancy of San Francisco,
who are accused of violating the Fed
eral statutes regulating transporta-
ton of explosives. in connection with
explosions at Los Angeles.

ment concerning Mr. Rockefeller's
contribution: 1--WE are making a
study for the first time in this coun-
try of the way a police department
works. We are not shopping around
we are not seeking evidence of graft,
nor of the failure of the department
to cope with vice and crime-if IL
does at all. We want TO find out how
the machine works. 1t was for this
purpose that Mr.. Rockefeller made
his grant and he made il because of
the constructive interest he has had
in such things since he was chairman

pie of the United States spent more

and that the salaries of chauffeurs
amounted to more than was expend-
ed on the army Gen. Wood assert
ed that talk of world peace and arbi-

went, but that the safety of any ma

CMELL KNEW THAT
REVOLVER WAS
NOT LOADED
Attempt at Suicide Looks Like
a Bluff
PULLED TRIGGER MANY TIMES
When He Learned That Chambers
Were Empty Turned Weapon
Upon Himself.

Frank Cmell, the Hungarian gypsy,
who was convicted in county court
Saturday afternoon of shooting and
severely wounding Orson Tinkham. a
well-known farmer living on the
SALISBURY road, during an attempted
hold up on the evening of October II,
was taken on the afternoon flyer to
Rutland to serve a sentence of not
more than five years or less than
four years and ten months in the
house of correction.
Because of the crowd that had
gathered following Cmell's sensa-
tional break in the sheriff's quarters
while he was being returned to his
cell after being sentenced the officers
Deputies Nash and Gardner, took
Cmell through the rear of the county
court building and by the way of the
rear alley to the station. He was
handcuffed to Deputy Gardner.
Later details of the struggle in the
sheriff's office would seem to indi-
cate that perhaps Cmell was not so
anxious to kill himself as was fret
supposed. When the gypsy broke
away from the officers, rushed into
the sheriff's Office and seized the re-
yolver from the sheriff's desk. he first
pulled the trigger several times be-
fore pointing the weapon at himself.
The revolving of the cylinder with
out any explosion must have told
him that the pistol was not loaded.
Cmell kept up his resistance even
after he had been seized by Deputy
Sheriff Perry B. Gardner. In the
struggle, he clamped his teeth on the
deputy's thumb and tore the skin.
The cartridge which Cmell explode
ed in his cell was center-fre of
S2-calibre. The sensitive cap in the
center of the head of the shell was
apparently rubbed against the steel
grating hard enough to start the full
inmate of mercury and fire the pow
der The explosion did not even
burn his fingers.
