MULHALL A REST
Colonel Forces a Let Up in His
Testimony by Plea of Physi-
cal Inability.

Almost hysterical in his protesta-
tion that six weeks grueIIIng examin-
alton before the Senate lobby probers
made 1t necessary that he rest for sew
eral days before beginning a similar
ordeal before the House committee,
Martin NJ. Mulhall today forced a
change of plan in the House inyesti-
cation.
Mulhall on the stand today, after Louis
Seibold. newspaper correspondent, had
identified few letters included In Null
nails published story.
But the former N. A. NJ. lobbyist
bitterly demanded some rest, and the
committee was forced to excuse him
until Monday.
If you compel me to testify" Null
hall shouted. 81 will get a physicians
certificate showing my physical in
ability to do so. I have been under
a doctors care for a week and, gen.
tlemen, / can't go on"
The witness also asserted that he had
found fifteen more of his files OF ".
A. NJ. letters which he said contained
some important political information .
He pleaded for time to sort over these,
and the committee tentatively decided
% send an assistant to Mulhall's home
In Baltimore to assist the former lob
SJIs. IN this work of arranging the
correspondence.
Seibold said he did not include Con-
81 essman McDermott of Illinois in the
n. A. N. blacklist" because of Nc
Dermctts alleged relations with Null
hsn since 1909. Former 'blacklists' had
contained McDermott's name.
Seibold was excused.
This afternoon the committee MANNED
to produce the blanace OF the Emery
letters.

MRS. WEST AS WITNESS
"Shakespeare's England" Show
Has Sequel in Law Courts.
|SABLES AND PARIS HATS
Cabinet Minister'S Mother Cat
egoric in Her Testimony,
but Jury Disagrees.
lBy Cable TO The Tribune.

London, Feb 1J.-Mrs. George Corn
wallis West has been the central figure
in Mr.. Justice Darling's court this
week. She was chief witness for the
defence in an action brought against
the Earl's Court concerning shake
speare's England" which Mrs. West
conducted so successfully last year.
Vernon Warsdale, a company di-
rector, claimed a commission for intro
ducing Mrs. West TO the Earl's Court
Company. as a result OF which the ex-
hibition was held 1t was mainly
through Mrs. Vests evidence on the
witness stand that Mr.. Warsdales case
broke down. Mrs. West denied en-
phatically the plaintiffs alleged intro
duction.
The ever youthful and well preserved
appearance of the mother of Winston
Churchill was matter of comment in
| the crowded court. Fashionably
dressed women cast envious eyes upon
the magnificent sables and furs worn
by the chief witness. Mrs. West at
tended the court each day in beauti-
new hats of the latest Paris fashion. She
took a deep interest in the procedure
| OF the court, and shook her head re-
peatedly when statements were made
with which she did not agree.
When Mrs. West entered the witness
box II was amusing to watch the suave
and genial manner OF the Kings coun-
sell F. z. Smith. the brilliant young
Parliamentarian, conducted his exam
ination as a drawing room converse
| ton, while the usual stern and threat
ening Henry f. Duke. *. c., smiled
and joked when putting Mrs. West
under REORGANIZATION. Court hab-
tues had never seen him in such sur
prising mood. His usual mode is 10
thunder questions, accompanied by
frantic gestures, but there was nothing
Of this with Mrs. West.
A little episode unnoticed by the ma
jority Of those in court occurred after
she left the stand. Mr. Justice Oar
ling, who, with Lady Darling. is on
! visiting terms with Mrs. West, dis
patched a note to her by the usher of
the court. Mrs. West read the missive
and, smiling nodded in the direction OF
the bench. A few minutes later. when
court adjourned for the jury to consider
their verdict (Which ended in a dis
agreement), Mrs. West left her seat
and disappeared through private door
TO the judges rooms at the back of the
| bench. Mrs. West partook Of refresh
ments with "the ladies' Judge" as Mr..
Justice Darling is always termed here,
conversing with the judge for nearly
half an hour.

'D0N'TS' IN MEMS DRESS
SartoriaI Expert Gives World
Benefit of His Wisdom.
SOME IDEAS ON COLLARS
Rules Are for Middle Glass Eng.
lishmen, the "Aristocrats"
Needing No Teacher.

LONDON, FEB. IA London dress expert
contends that the aristocratic denizens
OF the West End are the best dressed men
in the world, but at the same time be.
walls the dlscordant combinations OF
clothes that arc seen on English middle
class men. For the benefit of the latter
he prescrioes a number OF "don'ts."
Here. as a matter of curiosity. are some
OF them:
About COliars.-Don't wear a wing coll
lar TO plain soft-fronted colored shirt.
1t Will look sloppy. Try stiff-fronted
shirt. or at any rate. a soft shirt with q
pleated front. The wings OF the collar
are then likely to set correctly.
Don't wear double turn-down COL
lar-intended only for lounge suits-to
dress clothes.
Don't buy collar too large for you.
tp-to-date firms now sell quarter sizes.
and nine out Of every ten middle-class
men would look much heater if they Sc
lected collar quarter of size smaller.
About Ties.-Don't wear bow tie too
long for the collar. II looks as incongru-
Gus as a small-headed man in big
brinlmcd nat. The length OF the bow in
tended TO be self tied should be in strict
keeping with the size of the collar. Self
tied bows are becoming increasingly
favored, though knots are not incorrect.
Don't wear black bow to dress suit
when taking a lady out to dine. II YOU
are dining with a party OF gentlemen a
black tie is correct.
Don't put on a white dress waistcoat
when you want 10 wear black bow.
Don't forget that a soft shirt with
silk -pleated front looks particularly smart
with a dinner jacket.
Don't imagine that. because double
turn-down collars are now frequently
worn with morning coats. it is the abso-
lutely correct style. 1t is now tolerated,
but il is not in strict obedience TO the law
OF fashion.
About shirts:
Don't be persuaded into buying detach-
able cuffs 10 wear with morning coat
They are quite out Of date. The starched
cuffs must be part of the shirt.
Don't be under the delusion that it is
necessary for a short armed man TO ac
cept shirt merely because 1t fits around
the neck. Up-to-datc firms now Offer
sizes in shirts with three different lengths
In sleeves.
Don't wear shirts with stiff cuffs 10
lounge suit. Soft double cuffs are the
fashion.
Don't have square shaped soft cuffs on
your shirt when wearing a lounge suit
Round cuffs are correct.
Don't put a diamond pin or any other
ornament too near the collar II wearing
knot tie. II is not necessary TO wear
any ornament at all. but IL one is fanciei
it should be placed as far down b. tie as
conveniently possible

Bill Provides That They Be
Fired On if Flying Over
Prohibited Areas.

London, Feb. l5.-The reports Of for
eign airships flying al night over the
south coast of England, nave caused 20
much uneasiness in the War Depart
ment that a bill has beer introduced in

War Secretary of State. War Depart
ment. which has been passed and prob
ably will become a law next week. II
permits the government forces 10 fire
on airships flying over forbidden places.
Two reports which caused the most
uncasiness were those Of flight over
Dover last fall and one over Sheerness,
in January Both are credited To Ger
man dirigibles. While many persons
have said they heard the noise of the
all ships engines, and some have de-
clarcd that they saw the aircraft, the
mystery has never really been cleared
up. Germany has denied extensively
her responsibility. Nevertheless. there
has been no satisfactory explanation.
Colonel Seely's bill lays it down that
aircraft lving over any prohibited place
ana refusing 10 descend after bcirg
signalled to do so may be brought down
by gun fire Prohibited areas Would he
prescribed Ly the governments orders.
and, where necessary. the coast line
and territorial waters would be includ-
ed in the area. Thus naval bases could
al any time be made barred areas.
The bill also seeks To make the com
ing OF foreign aircraft 20 this country
The subject Of regulations. as to the
places OF landing and other matters,
and To make any breach of the regula-
tons an offence punishable under the
act. unless the airman should prove
that he was acting under stress Of
wea theT.
The second clause Of the bill states
that If aircraft flies or attempts TO ily
over the prescribed area. or fails To
comply with the landing conditions, a
signal shall be- given by an officer des-
ignated for the purpose, and II the air
craft still fails t. comply ut shall be
lawful for the officer 10 fire at or into
such aircraft. and TO use any and every
other means necessary 10 compel COM
pliance. Every and any such officer
and every other person acting in his
aid. and BY his direction. shall be. and
is hereby, Unidentified and discharged
from any indictment. penalty or action
or other proceeding for so doing"
