The exterior of this house presents
a massive appearance considering its
size. This effect is due more to the
method of building the front porch
than anything else. The gable over
the porch is buiW with different pitch
roof than the one over the front part
of the house This is an unusual ef-
feet that is not often seen and is just
one of the many w IS of adding
special touch to a house so as to give
it a distinctive appearance. The pan
eled stucco gable over the porch also
gives a pleasing impression. Another
attractive feature of the front porch
Is tie white railing with its heavy pill
lars on each side of the stairs and the
large square columns at the corners.
These pillars and columns are in

MELLEN AS WITNESS
 ON GOVT. SHE
Defense EndeavOred to Raise Question on Alleged Acts Within Period of Statute of LimitatiOnS.-Is Over-ruIed.

New York, Oct. 2O.-Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New Haven system, testified as a govern ment witness today against the eleven men with whom he was formerly asso- clated on the roads board of directors. whose trial on charges of violation of the criminal section of the Sherman antitrust law, began one week ago.
 Standing before a government map of the New England railroad systems. with long pointer in his hand. much like college professor, Mir. Mellen spent the last two hours of the af- ternoon session explaining the nature of the competition, railroad conditions at the time, 25 years ago, when the New Haven alleged conspiracy to con- trol the entire transportation traffic of the six states began.
 It was only the preliminary part of the lengthy story which the govern ment expects the former president to tell the jury before the trial is over. The former New Haven president was greeted with every evidence of cor diality by the defendants. William Rockefeller was among several of the defendants, who stepped forward to converse with him.
 MT. Mellen gave his occupation as a farmer. He took up New England traffic conditions as far back as 1890.
 "Was the competition keen?" asked Frank l.. Swacker, the government at torney.
 q should say, there was consider able competition" replied the witness it was fairly lively"
 MT. MeIlen was proceeded on the stand by two present officials of the New Haven, who identified about 2,000 documentary exhibits, subpoen- aed by the government from the New Haven file. Their introduction was the occasion of an unsuccessful effort by the defense to force the government first to present evidence of the alleged unlawful acts committed by the defen- dants within the period of the statute of limitations. In other words, acts committed since Judge Hunt overrul- ed the motion.

MANY PATHETIC
 STORIES ARE TOLD
Garment Makers Tell of Strup- gies, Give Committee Some In- sight to Methods Under which They eke out Existence.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Pathetic stories of girls who dwell in tenements and gain precarious livelihood in the gar ment trade were unfolded today before the aldermanic committee investigat ing the garment workers strike here. Manufacturers ignored invitations to be present.
 Tears came to the eyes of some of the girls as they told of their strug- gles for existence. The normal earn ings, according to the girls testimony. showed them to be $5 week, and only supreme efforts, working from day light to dark, without lunch. would bring in $S.
 Anna Simsky said that for three years she had worked from 5:3O a. m. to p. m. without the usual noon- day rest for lunch, and made $8 per week. Pearl Krupnik said that in dull times she had earned as low as 78 cents week. Fannie Berg testified that the girls have to buy their own needles. Three hundred girls, she said had to use the same roller towel.
 The most tragic detail of their work, the girls testified, was having garments thrown back to them to do over again. All of the witnesses con- plained in greater or less degree, to harsh treatment from foremen mostly in the way of abusive language.
 When Anna Simsky was getting only $5 a week, and asked for more she said a foreman pointed out of the window, and calling her a vile name, said: "There is a world go out and see if you can do better"
