London. Jan. 5.-A hint that the
of the meteroic rise and the tragic
fall of the Kennedy family will be told
here when, on January IL, Percy M.
Tugwell, the young son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John M. Tugwell, is placed on
trial for the murder of Mrs. Maude B.
Kennedy, a wealthy widow.
1t is charged hat young Tugwell
murdered Mrs. Kennedy and then rob-
bed her that he might obtain money
to marry. Tugwell's young .wife-she
is only 17-believes implicitly in his
innocence. When first arrested Tug
well told the police that Philip Ken
nedy, son Of the murdered woman, and
his (Kennedy's) wife were the guilty
parties. Later he retracted this state
ment.
There is a great deal of mystery con
corning the influence the accused
young man had over Mrs. Kennedy. On
the night h was murdered she re-
ceived a telephone call. Without OK
planning where she was going, she
dressed with elaborate care, taking
with her all her diamonds, valued at
about 81, 500 and left the house. Next
morning her bruised body was found
in a sparsely settled section of the
city. Her jewels were gone. She had
been horribly beaten and poison forced
through her lips.
-Four days after the murder young
IugWell was married. When arrested,
he denied the crime, but later, accord
ing to the police, broke down and con-
fessed it was he who a called Mrs.
Kennedy and when they met later in
He then ave her chloroform and
robbed her, it Is claim. He has since
denied the truth of this alleged con-
fession.

toed it in the last days of his admin
istration n efforts to repass it over
his veto failed by a narrow margin.
The vote in the Senate indicated that
the bill could be repassed by more than
the required two-thirds majority

ure. Senators who voted against the
bill We're: Bra ndigee, McCumber, Mar
tine, O'Gorman, Randell, Reed and
Walsh.

poets the bill to be finally passed by

vetoed there would be votes in the
senate n he thought in the house to
pass it over the veto.

LONDON EXCHANGE
RESUMES TRADING
No inclination to Dump Ameri-
can Holdings Manifested
In First Hours of
Business.

London. Jan. 5.-The London stock
exchange reopened for business today,
after having been closed on cou of
the var since July 80. Severe restric-
tons were placed upon trading in or
der to prevent anything approaching
panic selling or the unloading of Sc
c%urities by hostile countries.
The session opened with a round Of
ringing cheers and to the strains Of
h national anthem, heartily sung by
a rather smaller attendance than US
ual. A humble OF British and French
members were absent on account of
the war, while the exclusion Of aliens
who were not able to satisfy the COM
mittee that they had severed all on
nect1on with foreign countries reduced
somewhat the foreign attendance.
The single fact that business has
been resumed even on a limited scale
and under restrictions is taken to in
dictate that the greatest crisis in the
history Of the exchange has been safely
negotiated through the combined eff
forts of ~theLtreasury and the stock ex-
change committee. The house had been
redecorated and today presented a
cheerful appearance. Several English
members appeared in khaki. There was
no shouting of bids across the house
and business was on a strictly cash
basis. The committee decided to al
low dealings only between the hours
Of II and B.
The general opinion that the restric-
lions to trading would curtail bust
ness to a considerable extent was
borne out during the first half hour.
Not a single bargain occurred in Amer
leans, and only a few of these securi-
ties appeared. The war loan was
marked at 94s and then at "a 9-1G.
India 81 per cents were quoted at
S3 Is, and Rio Tintos nominally at 81.

DANIELS TO HEAR
RATE RAISE PLEA
His Appointment and Recent
Decisions Forbode Disap-
pointment For West
ern Shippers.

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 5.-Recent
decisions of the Interstate Commerce
commission seem to point to a general
tendency to increase railroad rates. TO-
day the commission decided the case
involving rating on live poultry and
held a proposed increase from fourth
class to third class on live poultry in
carloads in western trunk lines and
trans-Missouri territories was justified.
The effect is to increase rates. Rail-
road commissions of Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota protested against the
increases.
A significant announcement is tina
Commissioner Daniels will near the
case involving rate increases in west
ern classification territory. Hearings
open February is at Chicago. Daniels
has been largely instrumental in get
ting higher rates for the roads in the
eastern advanced case n the fact he
will hear the western one is not en-
couraging for western shippers.
Schedule Complicated.
The hearings will mark the beginning
in public of an important rate case, and
essentially different from the recent
eastern case, in that the western roads
are not, asking for a horizontal increase
in all rates, but an increased based on
L IllIlS lIioilo Nj bpOii Lie lilofe-
ment of individual classes and COM
modities. Some of the advances pro-
posed aggregate as much as 80 per cent,
while Others amount to only 2 or 3 per
cent. On some kinds of traffic no in
creases have been proposed.
All of the tariffs submitted by the
western roads have been suspended by
the commission. Protests, particulars
ly from the railroad commissions of the
western states hav been filed with the
commission and concerted action by the
state commissions will be taken in op-
position to the increases. 1t was an
nounced that February Is, 16, II and
IS would be devoted ''to the presenta-
ton of evidence from respondents sup
porting in general their claim for in
creased rates, but not including evil
dence in support of increases of partic-
ular rates. Beginning Monday, March
10, opportunity will be given for the
presentation of evidence in rebuttal Of
such general testimony"
The program for the hearings fol-
lows:
February 19-24-Grain and grain
products.
meats. packing house products and
fertilizer.
March 1-2-Hay, straw and broom
corn.
March 3-5-Cotton piece goods,
March 6-9-Coal and coke.
March 10-Salt.
March 11-12-Fruit and vegetables.
March 13-Rice and rice products.
March 15-1S-Shippers and any OPP
posing the increases will have oppor-
tunity to present evidence in rebuttal
to the claims of the railroads.

COTTON and COPPER
MONOPOLY SUGGESTED
English Economist Urges Brit
ain to Contract For Entire
American Output.

London, Jan. 5.-Arthur Kitson, the
inventor n author of various works
on economics, writes to the Morning
Post suggesting that the simplest way
out of the difficulty between England
and the United States arising from the
detention Of American cargoes by Brit
ish warships is for the British gov
eminent to contract to take the entire
copper and cotton supply of the United
States for the next year or two.
Mr.. Kitson says it would be a prof
liable undertaking, as it would shorten
the duration of the war by depriving
Germany of these commodities and
England could supply neutral coun-
tries with such quantities of them as
would satisfy their local demands.

1t is astonishing how much good
good looking hair does toward produc-
ing a youthful appearance and still
more astonishing to realize how much
the attractiveness of the hair is af-
fected by the care we give it.
Loving care and frequent attention
are as necessary to keep a woman g
hair beautiful and luxuriant as is the
tooth brush to keep the teeth from de-
cay.
Every woman who values the beauty
of her hair as she ought to do should
make it never broken habit TO fire.
quently apply a little Partisan Sage,
rubbing it briskly into her scalp with
the finger tips.
Partisan Sage is Natures modern
handmade to beautiful feminine hair.
1t is a simple, harmless compound of
wholesome, nutritious ingredients that
make an ideal lotion for nourishing
both hair and scalp 1t feeds and
builds up the delicate hair and scalp
structures making the hair soft, lus-
trous, brilliant and easy to dress and
arrange. Wilfred F.. Root and many
other of our best druggists sell Par
isian Sage and gladly recommend its
use.
