ACTS IN CONSPIRACY CASE.
Attempt Made to Quash Indictment
Arising From Textile Strike.

BOSTON. May IA preliminary step
in the trial Of President William M
Wood of the American Wooden Com
pany. Frederick D. Atteaux and D. j
Collins. for alleged conspiracy to plant
dynamite at Lawrence during the tex
tile strike in that city last year, was
taken today when Daniel III. Coakley. at
torney for Atteaux. filed in the superior
court a motion to auash the indictment.
The trial will begin here Monday.
The motion to quash was based on the
claim that the indictment does not
charge an indictable offense, that 1t does
not set forth any conspiracy to do an
unlawful act. that it is not an offense to
plant dynamite in premises. and that
it is no offense TO have dynamite in
possession with intent to injure. 1t is
further claimed that the counts of the
indictment are vague and indefinite

Swat the Top Hat.
me Cincinnati Times Star.

From the Cincinnati Times star
1t is proposed to celebrate the centenary
of the top or high hat. IL was just
hundred wears ago that a tubist style ~
art devised this uncomfortable neadseaf
for men IL seems to one who shares "
the general tendency toward simpler ana
more comfortable dress that the best MaE
of celebrating would be TO cast these
black silk cylinders into the ashpile ana
narn,i, them to pass their closing DAYS
upon the head of the INDECENT who wan
ders the alleys and dresses himself with
sartoria, 'castaways. No more uncomfoft-
able styie was ever wished upon man in
modern times. One explanation or TIE
origin or the top hat is that II was
direct descendant of the helmet OF the
feudaI warriors OF old England. The ten
dons of the stiff-necked English arlstoc-
racy had become accustomed TO IN"
weighty beaver. and when armorplate
millinery went out of style the hendish
..stovepipe' was contrived by the arbiter
of fashions to accommodate hereditary
muscles that had lugged about casque
and murrion.

Infant Hygiene at School.

From TIE Philadelphia Telegraph
Out I'm Cleveland seventeen trained
nurses are now giving lessons in infant
hygiene to the girl pupils attending thr-
teen public schools Ii is reported that
the girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest in the lessons, absorbing
eagerly all that relates 10 the proper
care of babies This kind OF instruction
in the public schools represents some
thing more and better than the activity
of faddists. America, like other coun-
tries, has very large Infant death
rate Thousands OF infants die annually
because they have not received proper
care. IL is easily conceivable that the
proper training OF girls might save the
lives Of many babies.
