CROWD WATCHES IN VAIN:
HER DRAPERY DIDN'T SLIP

NEW YORK, Oct 2l.-A crowd of
men Who jammeo about one OF The
feature exhibits at the electrical expo
sitlon at Grant Central palace were
terribly disappointed.
On a raised platform Miss Grace
Marshall, CARRIED in an enhancing cor
set cover and diaphanous petticoat,
stood proving to the world that no
art Of man could make her look any
better However, she was the model
on which silks from electrically driv-
on looms Were 10 be draped without
the use Of pins. So II. II. Lavie went
on with his draping.
The crowd grew. BY the time Miss
Marshall was completely draped II
had assumed crushing proportions
Every time Levie explained the silk
wasn't pinned on more men crowded
about hoping. They hoped SO hard
the railing crashed in and hremen had
to be called to drive the crowd away.
Nothing slipped.

compensation department He not
only does not like 1t. but he dislikes
It so much he lied to severa, audiences
about II and Commissioner Lee OFT very
promptly proved that he did in a state

II is natural that Cornwell should
find fault with this splendid humane
department added TO the state govern
ment by the representatives Of the Re
publican party. for he is in the bust
ness OF fault finding and falsifying on
wholesale scale just now. 1t is quite
natural for him to dislike the compen-
sation department with an especial
dislike, because II pensions widows of
laboring men killed at their work, pro-

lally the union laboring men. or those
who would like TO join a union, but
are denied the opportunity.
But Cornwell does not represent the

President Wilson said in his Oma-
ha speech. Sometimes we deceive
ourselves by thinking that the com
merce of recent years has chieRy con
sisted in exports stimulated bv the
war. It will be worth your while to
look into the figures The Teie-
gram has looked into the figures
and they show that nearly sew
enty per cent OF our exports for the
ten months period OF October. 1915.
10 July 1916. inclusive. consisted Of
forty-six classes OF goods which any
one, not a Democrat, would charac-
terize as war munitions. Napoleon
said an army crawls on its belly. +"
We exported SG32 100000 worth Of
breadstuns, fish, hay, meat and
dairy products WELLINGTON when
asked what he considered the most
important part Of the soldiers equip
ment. replied First, good SER
viceable pair OF shoes, second, an
other good pair of shoes. and third,
a pair OF half soles." During this
period we exported $27.0O0.O0O
worth OF shoes, and $4,000, 900
worth Of leather products, and we
have exported over S60,0OO,O 900
worth OF shoes since the war began.
Note paper is President Wilson's
chief war munition; in Europe steel
does the talking. For this period
eleven classes of steel munitions
made up $397.250.O0O OF our ex-
ports. The soldier must be clothed
in something more than a righteous

London, April 2S, 12:32 p. m.- Simultaneously with the outbreak in Dublin on Monday, says despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co.,, dated yesterday, a number of excursion trains arrived with men apparently pleasure bent. Immediately upon reaching the station these men pro- ceeded to join the rebels and by concerted movement captured all the as well as motor cars, street cars and carts in the vicinity Many of the vehicles were used to erect barri- oades while the cushions were utilized in the line of trenches which was dug in St. Stephens Green.
 Some of the earliest fighting oc- cured at Balls Bridge and on the main road from Kingstown to Mer- lion Square, where the rebels seized a school house and small hall ad- joining. Along the road also men who seemingly were working in gar dens suddenly picked up guns and began firing at passersby, the de- spatch states. ... . ....s
 These outbreaks in the outskirts, however, have become rare, adds the correspondent and interest centers in Sackville street, where the post cf1ice is barricaded on the inside with bags of papers and all available books. Around Jacobs Factory the trouble is accentuated by women taking sides Their attempts to get provisions into the besieged rebels are resisted by co-workers who re- main loyal and many fights among the two factions of women are re- ported.

 No investigation is likely in the immediate future officials say, unless disclosures, unlocked for now, come to their attention.
 The sending of money by sympa- thizers in the United States to the Sim Fein in Ireland and to other organiza tions or revolutionists, would not, officials pointed out, constitute a violation of American neutrality. Even the sending of arms to the Sim Fein society would not alone constitute a violation of neutrality, the officials said,

Some time ago the Chamber of Commerce took up the question with the railroad company of certain changes in the train service which would prove of great benefit in regard to mails. The railroad company agreed to the changes, but thus far no word has been heard from the post office au- thorities. This matter will also be discussed Monday and it is expected a vigorous effort will be made to se
