Urged on Congress

In order that each member of Con-

nature of the proposed council OF ma
tonai defense, the movement for which
Is backed by the Navy League of the
United States. the Navy League COM
mittee Is sending to every Senator and

plan. ~ te
1t Is explained that the council will
not encroach upon any of the duties or
privileges of Congress nor will be COM

that body.
II Is shown that the United States is
the only Government which does not
pl oyide for an effective communication
between the executive and legislative
departments. This the council of ma
tlonai defense would provide for. Its
principal purposes would be to secure
ornciai information for Congress and to
formulate and recommend to Congress

Corsets Cost $16.50,
Romance Is Ruined

PITTSBURGH, Jan. iL-One pair of
pink satin corsets-s16.5o 6.5o-shattered the
romance of Frank P. Henry. a well-to-
do automobile man. who appeared in
divorce court seeking a separation
from Agnes Henry. Nothing crimps
the husbands happiness so quickly as
a woman's determination to wear ex-
pensive corsets, Henry testified.
The pair was married July, 1910. in
Greensburg. Pa, and came to Pitts
burgh on their honeymoon. And did
some shopping. Although he admitted
he was inexperienced in the cost of
vomea's clothes, Henry said he
thought S1s6o was pretty high for one
pair of corsets And he said so right

had given himself up. took him TO the
drug store. where the wound was eau
terized. Later, in the Garfield Hospital.
three stitches were taken in the wound.
Examination of Mrs. Stevens I'm the

by her husband had been DETECTED by
the steel ribs OF her corset, and instead

her back. 1t is not believed that the
walls of her stomach were pierced.
Resigned His Job.
Thomas Is an alumnus of the Bliss
Electrical School, and was employed
until yesterday with the Webster Elec-
trio Company as a commission man.
He stated last night that he resigned
his position yesterday because of the
trouble with Stevens, and had decided
to 20 either to his mother in Thomas
vile, N. c., or to a brother living in
Richmond. Va. When he resigned he
told his employer why he did so, saying
that life was too sweet to him to risk
the effect of Thomas insane jealousy.
The Stevens family went to Takonla
Park three years ago from Rock Hall,
Mu. Wnere TWO Drothers and the mother
of the dead man still live. Mrs. Stevens
had been the mainstay In the support
OF the family by conducting a boarding
house.
Coroner hewitt went to the Stevens
home last night, and after viewing the
body, ordered 1t taken to the morgue
for an inquest, which will be held today
Thomas retained Attorney James F.
Kelly as counsel last night, who, after
a talk with his client, declared II would
be simple case of self-defense. Stevens
son. he stated, would testify to the
threats made beforehand, and Mrs
Stevens and Miss Coleman would show
that Stevens fired the first shot, and
was returning to shoot again when
Thomas killed him.
