Prosecution Closed Last Night
When Detective Burns
Had Testified
ENDEAVORS TO INIPEACH
TESTIMONY OF MESERVE
Claim No Connection Shown
Between COnspiraces In
East and Explosion

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 22.-Demand-
ing that evidence of an alleged dyna-
mite conspiracy in the east be stricken
from the court records, Nate Coghlan,
of San Francisco, chief defense coun.
sci, opened his case today in the trial
of M. A. Schmidt on charge Of muir
der in connection with the destruction
of the Times building here.
COghlan declared the conspiracy evi-
dence inadmissable on the ground that
Schmidt had not been implicated and
claimed the prosecution failed to show
the Times disaster mad anything to do
with alleged plottings in the east.
Deputy District Attorney Van Cott
replied for the state. The argument
seemed likely to last the greater part
Of the day.
Olaf Tveitmoe, San Francisco labor
leader, entered court while the debate
was in progress, and Immediately be
came a center of much attention, as
District Attorney Woolwine had an.
nounced his intention Of re-opening his
case, putting Tveitmoe on the witness
stand and asking him if he did moi
have some guilty knowledge of dyna
mitings mere and elsewhere.
William j. Burns, the detective, was
the last witness for the state. He de
seribed how he hunted Schmidt all over
the United States and Europe and told
of the accused mans final arrest in
New York. The prosecution Is case may
be re-opened later for the introduction
of witnesses not yet located.
Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 21.-The de-
fense in M. A. Schmidt s trial on a
charge of murder in connection with
the dynamiting of the Times building

on the testimony of Donald Vose Me
serve, Burns detective who said he
lived with Schmidt at the home Of En-
ma Goldman in New York. An effort
was made to impeach the testimony OF
Meserve wherein ne claimed Schmidt
had talked to him about the Times dis
aster, making damaging admissions.

chests and wadrobes will serve to keep the moths away. This odor, however, lessens with age, so that the protection it affords is greatly decreased after 8 few years. For this reason when furs and other val uab1e garments are wrapped in tar red paper or placed in sacks of tar- red paper these containers should be renewed every year two.
 In general moths are likely to af- feet only articles which are put away and left undisturbed for some little time. Apartments and closes that are frequently aired and swept are not apt to be seriously affected. In fact airing and sunlight are probably the best as well as the oldest reme- dies. Where circumstances demand that the articles be put away, how ever, convenient and effective de vice is to place them in large paste- | board boxes such as tailors use and gum a strip of wrapping paper around the edge so as to seal up the

Washington, April 9-The various substances used to keep away moths, such as tobacco. camphor, naphtha-- Iene cones or balls, tarred paper, and cedar chips have no effect if the eggs are already present in tn ec1othes. and entomology specialists in the United States Department of Agri- culture. therefore recommend a thor 7ough beatingA shaking and brushing of all articles likely to attract moths before they are laid away for the summer.

If the garments have been thorough ly cleaned before being placed in these boxes. no additional protection is necessary and there is none of the objectionable odor which is charac- teristic of so many moth repellents
 For valuable articles the safest plan is to place them in cold storage. Re- cent experiments have shown that the larvae of the clothes moth will resist for a long time low temperatures if these are uniform, but that the alter nation of low and high temperatures quickly results in death. It is rec commended therefore that storage companies submit their goods to two or three changes. varying tho tenn perature from about IS degrees F. to 40 or 50 degree, Fahrenheit. After this preliminary treatment, they should be kept permanently at about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Any lower temperature is a needless expense.

WHEN WALL STREET
WHEELS STOPPED
"reminiscences Of It's Darkest
Day on Eve Of First An
niversary.
"HIKE," THE MESSENGER

1t will be one year on the s0th Of
this month since the startling an
nouncement was made that the New
York Stock Exchange would follow
the example Of other world exchanges
and close. Such a thing was almost
unprecedented. It had happened but
once before. How the exchange re-
opened and how Wall Street and the
country recovered from the blow Is
well known. Here are some reminis-
cences OF the darkest. day In the
Streets history.
Late on the afternoon Of that day
a young man was walking down Broad
street. whistling. as the saying is,
to keep his courage up. He was from
the West and new TO Wall Street.
For ION days he had been trying
to connect with a man who had come
from his own town and with whom
he had a slight acquaintance. This
nan was a busy broker. and just then
he met him and at once braced him
for a Job. The broker stopped and re-
garded the young fellow in surprise.
Are you looking for a chance in
Wall street," ne asked in amazement.
MY boy, you're wasting FOUR time.
Get out OF Wall Street. Let me tell
you a secret. The Stock Exchange
will close tomorrow for the second
time in Its history. But this time the
Lord only knows when It will ever
open again"
The broker passed IN. his mind evil
IDENTIFY filled with gloomy f~orebodings.
The men OF Wall, Street are always
either princes or paupers. subjects of "A
kingdom where money is made easier
than In any other spot IN the world
or where the reign Of insolvency is
paramount.
h young man stood stunned for a
moment. as an adventurer would he
who has staked his fortune on the last
card and has lost.
Evening was falling. Opposite him
arose the great marble structure Of
the Stock Exchange. Crowds were
hurrying homeward. seemingly with
troubled faces.
There vas only this one Idle man
who stood beside the Broad street
curb. He was used to figuring. As
he told me afterward. he recalled in
that moment that one day, some years
before. he had read that nearly 3,0OV,-
600 shares of stock. worth perhaps
100000, 900. had been sold in that
building cross the way in one day.
This fact had left al indel!ble impress
sion on his mind. He asked himself.
II the exchange closed. who would be
on hand TO supply its immense bust
ness, to buy or sell the stocks that
were so urgently needed for capital
ventures.
And while he was still in the thral-
dom Of his absorbing Idea he was
carried away, losing his identity in the
sweeping throng.

II II quite rue that CLOSE differences
are impossible and often entirely mis-
leading; that one never knows what
the partner Is leading from, or whether
the ace that wins the trick has the
king behind II or not, but there are
some things that the good player al.
ways knows. and no partner, however
poor. can prevent him from putting
this technical knowledge to good use.
For instance. II IL an established prin-
ciple with good players to lead UP to

they know what weakness and strength
means. II you are fourth hand. with
dummy on your right, there IL no part
ner In the world bad enough to keep

taxi Of coming right back with the

Few persons realize the percentage

thing as leading up to weakness cam
