The Chitina leader., 1913-07-22

| Of her mission, was Miss Gall Kane,
 who returned fro ma tour abroad to
 warn Mayor Gaynor, Commissioner
 Waldo, and Anthony Comstock, of
 a morality destroying creation of Paris sartorial art, which is due to arrive here in about a month, ac-
 cording to fashion forecasters. This "mauvais garment" as she
 called it, is known to the wicked who
 affect it as the "chemise expose" !"
 and compared to it the peekaboo shirtwaist is a thing of modesty and
 refinement.
 Miss Kane also brings warning of a dance that has set Paris crazy,
 which is expected to reach here about
 the time the chemise strikes quaran- tine. Unfortunately, she couldn't pronounce the French for it, so New
 York must remain temporarily un-
 enlightened.
 WASHINGTON, July 1e.-Dean Conant, of Worcester, secretary of
 the interior in the Philippine gov ernment, has resigned.

 LONDON, July 16.-The discovery of a suffraget murder plot which hitherto has been known only to
 members of the home office is an- nounced here by the Daily Express. It is alleged that the militants plan
 to avenge the death of any militant, through self-inflicted starvation, upon members of the cabinet.
 Should one of the militants die" ;" the publication says, while under sentence, the life of no member of the cabinet would be safe, and the lives of two prominent ministers would be in the greatest jeopardy"
 WASHINGTON, July 16. - Col. Mulhall was again witness before the senate Investigating committee today. He testified that the National Manufacturers Association had raised a fund amounting to about $500,000 to kill legislation hostile to the interests of the members of the association. He reiterated his asser- tion that the creation of the Com merce Commission was the direct effect of pressure brought to bear upon certain statesmen by the asso- citation for the express purpose of preventing any reduction of the tariff, and that the recommendations of the board were dictated by the association in the interest of it's members. He also stated that huge sums had been raised for campaign purposes and freely used to secure the election of senators and repre- sentatives who were known to be friendly to the manufacturing in- terests.
 CAPESTRANO, Italy, July IT, Maroni Ascenzio, recently returned to his native town from New York, is under arrest today charged with
 burning his wife alife. Following the receipt of anonymous letters at New York telling him that his wife was unfaithful to him during his absence Ascenzio returned to his home ini- mediately.
 He is declared to have greeted his wife the first day of his return with every show of affection. The second day, the couple went for a walk in the woods. This was the last ever seen of the woman. A priest, how ever, who was passing through the timber at the time heard piercing shrieks from a distance. He made his way towards them and found fierce fire blazing about a tree. Suppos- ing it to be only the work of urchins, however, he passed on. The day fol- lowing when the disappearance of Mrs. AscenZio became known, the priest led number of citizens to the burnt tree. The woman's finger ring and gol dearrings were found in the ashes. Ascenzio was arrested just as he reached Chiasso, the Italian Swiss border, presumably making his way back to New York.
