true and slanderous. They hold to

worked up the evidence upon which
the wealthy New York society man
was formerly accused of the assault.
have advanced the theory that Beach
committed the attack in a fit of in
sane jealousy. The r.an eluded the
pursuit of coterie of citizens brought
to the scene fthe attack by Mrs.
Beach's cries. they assert was white
not black, and was instrumental in
arousing the anger of Beach.
This hint of scandal, it was said
today, might broaden into charges
that would shake the fashionable win

volving the names of some of the
most prominent people in national
and international society.
Frederick o. eBach and his wife are
| residents of Roslyn. l.. l.. and have
long been associated with the most
exclusive of American society. Mrs
Beach, the daughter of Cortlandt d.

made on the lawn OF Beach's Aiken
home. She stated that her assailant
struck her to the ground with a fence
picket, slashed her throat, tore a val

and rushed away as her cries brought
help. This story was at first sub

Bread Tranchoira

There is no city in the world where
so much bread is consumed as in Par
is. 1t is estimated that every inhab
liant eats one pound a day on the
average. Even in past centuries the
French. especially Parisians, had a
horror of stale bread. And as in those
days people manufactured their own
bread they had Il curious way Of max
ing it palatable. Strange as ii may
seem. the bread prepared, huge round
or square slabs, was used as a dish.

LAZY MEN OF CHAMPERY.
Why the Women Of That Primitive
District Wear Trousers.

The women of Champery. a primi-
tive mountain district of the Canton
of Valais, in Switzerland. have worn
trousers from time immemorial.
1t further appears that the men Of
this district are noted for their indo
lent habits and that. beyond acting as
guides to mountain climbers in the
summer months, they lead practically
idle lives. It follows that the women
perform all the bard labor required Of
a mountain people. 1t is the women
who pasture the cattle on the steep
and often dangerous Alpine slopes, cut
the timber and NOW the grass. It is
no uncommon sight to observe a
Champery woman at the conclusion OF
her daily toll returning to the village
dragging her husband on the wooden
sleigh that is in common use through.
out Switzerland.
In view of the above 1t Is not sur
prising that the women Of Champery
should have adopted the masculine at
tire. Their dress is of the simplest
kind. jerkin Of rough. dark blue ma
terial. with trousers to match. and a
red handkerchief to protect the head
Inasmuch as the wives and mothers
Of Champery perform the greater part
Of the toll usually deemed the duty of
the stronger sex, 1t Is not astonishing
to learn that they affect certain mas
culine habits. the chief of which is the
pipe. The Champery woman puffs

and TO the United States Supreme
Court, If need be, to finally determine
the interest Of the TWO Indian nations
