X-RAY TEST FINDS
IDA WALTERS WELL
Weak. but Not Victim OF
Tuberculosis to
Plead February 3.

Mrs. Ida Walters is not in so serious
a condition as has been reported. Ru.
mors &c the effect that the woman
was dangerously in were set a. rest
bv an N-rsy examination by the ply
sic.aus at Lebanan Hospital yester-
dav There were indications Of spots
on her lungs, but the doctors said that
positiye signs Of tuberculosis were
lacking. The spots in question might
be caused by pleurisy, according to
the physicians.
The worry and shock Of the last
month have had weakening effect on
the prisoner. which was augmented BY
the prospect of facing the inquest into
the death of the children 70 whom she
gave the poison.
Lorlys Elton Rogers. father of Mrs
Walters's babies, was in highly ner-
vouS state during the examination OF
the woman, and showed great relief
when told that she was in no imme-
diate danger.
Rogers had been expected 20 plead
to-day TO the indictment recently found
against him. charging violation Of Sec
tion 2460 Of the Penal Code. Abraham
Levy. counsel for Rogers. and Assist
ant District Attorney Mitchell agreed
yesterday to ask the court for further
time. On their representations County
Judge Gibbs set February 3 as the date
for pleading A motion said 10 be

utes of the grand jury. probably viii
not be opposed by the District At'or-
neys Office.
The grand jury viii take up the case
Of Mrs. Walters this morning. and
definite action is expected before l
o'clock. the time at which the jury
usually adiourns. District Attorney
Martin. who has been in Albany 70

to-day.
In view Of the various postponements
OF the Coroner's inquest and the APP
parent difficulty of securing the pres
enca OF Mrs. Walters. it is considered
possible that the inquest may never
be held. especially if the grand jury
returns an indictment against the
woman.
In the brief fled yesterday Mr.
Levy says, in part:
The statute under which the indct-
ment was found does not cover or re-
late TO any of the conceded facts in
the case; it refers to and was intend
ed to cover compulsory prostitution
Of women-a forced or compelled
prostitution, or immoral life Of a
woman. Force and compulsion or their
equivalent are the gravamen Of the
offence.
"A mere voluntary association.
through love and affection, an honest
disbelief i'm the necessity or obliga-
tion of ceremony of marriage, where
the relations Of the two are sacred 70

eye Of the law. was never contem-
plated or intended TO be embraced

on the part Of inscriptions dealers.
Therefore about 1893" said Mr..
Wilson, "under the leadership OF the
Gorham Manufacturing Company, the
large silversmiths introduced in Mas
.achusetts the first sterling silver law,
which prohibited person making, sell
ing or having in possession for sale, an
article marked Sterling unless II was
925- 900 fine. or an article marked
coin or coin silver unless II was
90O-1 900 fine
This law was copied and passed IN
rapid succession IN number OF other
states. and also a gold law, providing
penalties for the sale or possession
Of articles Of that metal improperly
stamped as 20 karat quality.
But there was as yet no federal leg
islation on the subject, and IN 1919
"rhe jewelers. Circuisr" took up the
fight. It's attorney drafted measure

covered either By state or the federal

"An immediate effect % the first
sterling law after one or two prosecu-
tons had been successful" said Mr..
Wilson, "was the practical ellmina.
tion from the market Of silyerware OF
any kind that was not 925 fine. Frauds
in gold marking continued until test
cases were made before the New York
courts By The Jewellers Circular,
which were followed by about thirty
convictions obtained by the National
Jewellers Board OF Trade. Since then
violations OF the gold stamping law
have been few"
At a recent meeting called by the
Good and Welfare Committee OF me
National jewellers Board Of Trade
resolution was passed ndorsing the
national stamping law.
The meeting was attended by repre-
sentatives OF the National Jewellers
Board Of Trade, the New England
Manufacturing jewellers and Silver
smiths Association, the Newark Manu-
featuring Jewellers Association, the
New York City Retail Jewellers Asso-
citation and the National Wholesale
Jewellers Association. A number Of
watch case companies and other con-
Germs were also represented.

The plans were described yesterday by

principle. not mere copybook head
ing. has been strongly manifest in
. every line of business IN the last
three or four years" said Mr.. Wilson.
This awakening rhowed itself in the
ieWelry trade, however, about twenty
years ago when the manufacturers OF
precious metals began to clean house
and take concerted action to prevent
fraud from within and without the
industry"
Statutes making the words "ster-
ling" coin" and karat stamped on
gold and silver articles really mean
something was the outcome of this
movement, he said.
Work looking to the perfection OF
the National Stamping Law, so that il

Prior TO 1894, he said. there were no
penal statutes regulating the use Of

the karat mark on gold. although long
before that every other great nation
had practised regulation Of the marks

prohibited a manufactures from put

Washington, June 49, - President
Wilson has no intention Of going out
side his official family TO find Secre-
tary Of State. Those close TO the White

was his wish to appoint man already
