Capital DressmakerS
Ruined: Wilson's Place
Ban on SlaShed Skirt
Fashionable Set in Washington
Sure to Initiate Simple Gowns
Worn at White House.

WASHINGTON, March IA great
sartorial revolution, it was learned to-
day, is expected at the capital.
Both the wife of President Wilson and
the wife of Vice President Marshall have
announced their extreme disapproval OF
the very narrow skirt, slashed at the
front or sides almost to the knee, which
are much in vogue.
These gowns are now worn by the most
irreproachable women of the ultra fash
l0nabe set.
Mesdames Wilson and Marshall object
TO the draperies which accentuate the
figure as much as do the slashes, ana
never use draperies except in the form
of a cascade or overdress-never as an
integral part of the gown.
Those who have been thrown with them
since March now recall that straight,
ample skirts have been the keynote OF
all their gowns.
Even the exquisite gown worn by Mrs
Marshall at Mrs Shively's reception the
other day was innocent of single fold.
What, every one is asking, VIII the
modistes of the capital do with the spring
models, which they felt so confident OF
placing with the women of incoming Of
fiCialdom?

MRS. APPELBAUM
INDICTED FOR
MURDER
Policemen and Others Who
First Reached Scene of the
Tragedy Give Testimony.

Mrs. Callie Scott Appelbaum, held in
the Tower at the behest of a coroner
jury since February -, accused of the
Staying of her husband. Jerome A. APP
pelbaum in room in the Dakota ho-
tel, was indicted for murder by the
Fulton grand jury at o'clock this aft
ernoon.
The true bill was returned on testi-
mony given to the jury by the same
witnesses who appeared at the coro-
ner's inquest summoned to probe thu
mysterious features of the tragedy.
Call officer Hood, who was rushed 10
the hotel on telephone call from the
hotel clerk, J. o. Thomson, was the
first witness. He was followed by De
tectives Doyle and Wagner and Chief #
Detectives Newport Lanford.
Similar Testimony.
Four other witnesses appeared be-
fore the states accusers giving tesu-
mony similar to that laid before the
coroner's court. They were Thomson,
the hotel clerk; H. Roberts. who oe-
cupied a room near the scene of the
shooting and heard the shots fired; g.
Cohen. who was in the hotel, and Mrs.
Craig. friend of the accused woman.
According to the states attorneys,
none of the witnesses gave the jury
any information that had not been
aired before the coroner. or given out
subsequently by police officials.
The proceedings before the jury were
of the most formal sort. Not more
than an hour was spent going over the
details of the affair, which occurred in
the Dakota hotel on the morning If
February %. None of the mysterious
points were cleared up.
Finding of Body.
The officers told of finding the body
of Appelbaum in the bath room adioin-
ing the chamber where the pair had
spent the night. They described the
position in which the body was found
and testified as to the manner of the
wounds
Thomson told of Mrs. Appelbaum's
frantic flight down the stairs of the
hotel and of her incoherent actions and
conversation following the shooting.
His testimony relative to the womans
mental state was corroborated by the
detectives who took her in charge and
conveyed her to police headquarters.
Roberts and Cohen, who occupied
rooms in the hotel chung tenaciously
to their former stories that they heard
sounds of running footsteps at the in
tervals between the shots fired
Moore & Branch, attorneys for the
accused woman, said that they were
not surprised at the action of the jury.
The true bill had been anticipated they
asserted.
Both maintained that Mrs. Appel
baum was still in a precarious condi-
ton physically and would not be in
formed of the jury's action until late
in the afternoon.

CHESTERA. DADY BANKRUPT.
CITY PLANS To TAKE OVER
100000 DISPOSAL JOBS

Chester A. Dady, contractor for the
construction of the 100000 Peachtree
creek and Intrenchmen creek sewage
disposal plants, today was the subject
Of a petition in bankruptcy filed bv
three creditors. Mr.. Dady accepted ser
vice Of the papers in the SUIT to declare
him insolvent.
Mr. Dady is the son of Colonel Mich
aeI j. Dady, the millionaire contractor
of Brooklyn. Several years ago he came
e Atlanta in the course of his work as
an independent contractor and subse-
quently obtained the contract for the
construction of the two big disposal
plants. 1t is current gossip that Mr.
Dady discovered, soon after being
awarded the contracts, that he had UNI
dertaken too great a task under the
circumstances.
City to Take Job.
1t is likely that the action in bank
ruptcy against the contractor will put
an end to his work on the disposal
plants, and will necessitate the forfeit
ture of his bond for the completion Of
the work.
The city will very likely take over
the work or ask that the receiver do it.
For some time discussion has arisen
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of having the
contract between Mr.. Dady and the
city terminated and of collecting the
forfeit money from his bondsmen. The
matter was finally settled on condition
that the contractor give evidence that
he would complete the work by June
l. In order to do this at least twenty
carloads of stone should be available
daily; the actual amount at the disposal
plants is three to five cars, indicating
the impossibility of the completion of
the work.
The parties who filed a petition
against Dady are the General Fire EX-
tinguisher Company the Lester Book
Company and the Seabrook & Howard
Company. Liabilities of approximately
$4,000 are named, with assets stated
at approximately 100000. Most of the
assets, however, are tied up in the con-
struction work on the garbage disposal
plants.
Dady's Debts.
According 10 the petition presented
today in the United States court, Dady
IS indebted TO the three petitioners as
follows: General Fire EXtinguisher
Company, S14.96S.46; Lester Book and
Stationery Company, $3.50; Seabrook
G. Howard, $1O9.OS.
Among his assets are: Holdings in
equity. Peachtree creek disposal plant,
S27.540.45; Intrenchment Creek Disposal
Company, S3S, 526.7S; plant in operation,

DECISION Is REVERSED
Atty. A. A. Andrews Secures New
Trial In Case Of George Kreatz
VS.. E. E. Mcdonald.
OVER $4,000 IS INVOLVED

4 y s5y Hfa47
In the case Of George Kreatz VS.
3. 3. Med Donald, involving $3,O48.65
the supreme court reversed the de.
cision Of the district court and grant.
ed the appellant a new trial.
The case is Of long standing and
was brought by Mr.. Kreatz against
Atty. E. p. Mcdonald for the alleged
failure to foreclose a lien on the old
Rex Hotel building. Mr.. Mcdonald
secured the decision in the court be-
fore Judge Wright. The case was
appealed to the supreme court where
the decision was reversed.
Syllabus Of Case.
Action to recover damages for fail
ure to foreclose a mechanics lien
within the statutory time, brought
by plaintiff, owner of the lien, against
defendant, an attorney, alleged to
have been employed to foreclose the
same. Held:
E First-The evidence made the en-
ployment an issue of fact for the jury.
Second-The court enormously in
structed the jury in substances, that if
some minor finishing touches made
upon the building, the subject of the
lien, subsequent to the filing of the
lien statement, were made in com
plet1on of the original contract, the
lien was invalidated.
Third-At the time of filing the
lien the owner of the premises and
plaintiff agreed that the amount due
the latter was $3,O48,65, and plain
tiff then received promissory notes
made by the owner and another per-
son for $4,000. The testimony con-
clusively showed the insolvency OF
the makers Of these. notes, and 1t was
error to instruct the jury that plain
tiff could not recover unless he proved
the insolvency Of such makers since
the maturity of the notes.
Fourth-Under the courts charge
the special interrogatory submitted to
the jury became material and should
have been answered. Order reversed
