and successful of the cabinet makers and funeral
directors of the south, came here on November -,

character they are more convenient than
either the church residence, in many
cases, and in recent years their use has
become extremely popular. When NOR
tuary chapels were first offered the pub
lie, there was good deal of hesitation
on the part of many regarding their
use. Now, however, they are generally
used in preference to any other place.
Many Other Reforms
Practically all of the local funeral
directors are members of the national
association which meets every year to
promote the best interests of the pro-
fession. The funeral directors have sug-
gested many safeguards to be thrown
around the business which has kept un-
principled persons out of the profession.
Laws regarding embalming and other
features have been suggested and framed
in various states which have helped to
raise the standard and dignity of the busi-
ness.
Another feature which the funeral di-
rectors have been actively interested in
is the laws regarding certificates for bury
ing and when a body was shipped from
one state to another.
In recent years the material used in
the construction of coffins and caskets
has been inspected more closely and the
quality of this work is much improved.
Copper and other materials practically
understandable are now used In many cof-
fms, and the arrangements for removing
a body after interment have been greatly
sin1n1ifed All oP these ra adical ii,,nrox,e
ments are directly due to the work of
the funeral directors through their diff
ferent associations.

DEFENSE TRIES TO CORNER DIGGS IN
 CAMINETTI TRIAL

San Francisco, Sept 3-The defense began, today, it's attempt to clear E. Drew Canainetti of the charge of hav- ing transported Lola Norris from Sac poses. It sought to lay all responsi- bility for the fatefu1 excursion on the shoulders of Maury ]. Diggs, who has been characterized as the leader of the party and who has been convicted of having violated the Mann act in taking Marsha Warrington on that Journey.
 WI en Diggs was on trial, it was on, the slight figure Of the Warrington girl that his attorneys tried to place the burden. CaminettI, however, ar- noun ced before his trial began that he would not pursue a similar cuurse with Miss Norris; that he would make no effort to controvert her story of their relations.
 Throughout Miss Norris ordeal On the witness stand, yesterday, she gave no hint of resentment toward the man who, she said, had accomplished her downfall. She denied that she still cared for him but her testimony indi- cated no desire for reprisaI She even admitted that she had made this state ment to a friend. tfI do not see how any testimony I could give could hurt Drew for he never did anything ask ed him not to do or that did not want to do.''
 But previou us1y she had made what the prosecution regarded as a strong admission in. support of the govern ment: MT. Caminetti said All that Dfggs has told you is right. All four of us will have to go.' '
 The defense, today, tried to empha- size Dfggs' leadership in the escapade to make it appear that Caminetti was merely a p1iant, passive figure in the incidents and discussions that led up to the trip.
 It is expected that the defense will rest it's case, tomorrow, and that Cami- nettis fate will be with the jury Fri day evening.

LIFE SAVER TO SHOW HOW TO ACT IN RESCUING
 PEOPLE FROM DROWNING
Capt. Buell. of Volunteer Corps Will Appear At Polls Tonight.

In the belief that a. greater knowl- edge on the part of the public in Bridgeport as to methods of saving men and women overcome in the water would result in less loss of life dur ing the swimming season at the local beaches. Arthur H. Buell., captain of the Local United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps, whose station is at Seaside park, has arranged to give a. public demonstration of the tactics pursued by professional life savers
 This display will be made under the personal direction of Captain Buell., assisted by members of his corps at the Poli Main street theatre to- night, where the enormous tank used by the Six Diving Nymphs, has kind 1y been placed at his disposal by Man ager s. 2. Poli. As subjects, who are fully aware of the fright of sinking women and their frantic efforts to drag down those attempting their rescue, members of the Diving Girls act will probably participate.
 The demonstration has been arrang- ed by Captain Buell. to take place di- rectly after the first performance and will be scientifically displayed in full view of the audience. The exhtbi- tion( will form part of the amateur diving contest which had previously been scheduled, and the volunteer life savers will also compete in that con test
 In speaking of the value of a knowledge of what should be done for a drowning person Captain Buell. yes terday said: "It is surprising how little the average swimmer knows of how to protect himself from the eff forts of a sinking man to pinion the arms of those helping him, what l tactics should be used after the per son has been brought to the shore. I can in a few minutes make plain 1 just how these persons should be ap- | preached, and believe such instruction would go a long way towards prevent I ing such drownfngs as we have re- ] gently seen here
