MAY BRING ACTION
 FOR FALSE ARREST

The cases of the ten alleged mem bers of the I. ". w. were continued by Judge Frank L. Wilder in City Court this morning, until Saturday. March 8. The bonds still remain at $50.
 It is rumored that the ten men ar rested will bring action against the city because of false arrest. This gives a new angle to the situation. It was impossible to ascertain this morn . ing why the cases were continued until Saturday.
 That members of the organization intend to stand by local memb bers is evidenced by the fact that there was a meeting in Hartford Friday night, and pamphlets were sold for the pu~- pose of raising funds for defendinE the men who were arrested here. There was no police interference with the Hartford meeting. There is another meeting scheduled for to- night at Hartford for the same pI1r- pose. It is said that these meetings are being financed by a group O. Russians. who are fin complete sym pathy with the Soviet form of govern ment.

CUT PANAMA
 SALOONS TO 100

Panama Sunday, March - The high license law which went into eff feet yesterday reduced the number of saloons In Panama from 68O to 100. A number of sa1oonkeepers who took out licenses paid for only the month of March, owing to the fact that the carnival and festival to be held this month will be of unusual magnitude. It iE, therefore, expected that there will be a further reduction in licensed places on April 1. Under the new law licenses cost $15o 0 month, a fig ure which only the better class of sa- looms can meet
 The Panaman government Is en- forcing the recent decree against sales of liquor to men of the Ameri- can army and navy which provides for loss of license, a fine and jail sentence for the saIoonkeepcr con- victed of violations. IL is claimed that all demands of the United States army officers for the control of the liquor traffic are met by the present law, which will be enforced by the police under supervision of the Amer can commissioner of the canal zone. Vice conditions were placed in the hands of the United States health au- thoritles several months at the request of the army administration.

Robbery Motive For
 Murder of Skinner
Continued from Page One)

(Contsnued from Page One)
 Asked If he ever carried large sums of money on his person, Mrs. Skinner stated that he might have had $50 or SIS with him Saturday night. He sometimes carried this amount on his person, especially on Saturdays.
 pr. Myron A. warriner, the family physician, was called soon after the injured man was brought home pr. Warriner did everything possible to assist the aged man. but he continued 10 sink gradually until the end. pr. Warriner stated that death was caus- ed from fracture of the skull, from some kind of blunt instrument. Medical Examiner pr. s. NJ. Garicl1 after making an examination of the body. agreed fully with the family physician.
 MT. Skinner's bill book was taken from him, as were his false teeth, which were said to have contained some gold. The police believe that robbery was the motive of the assau,l l, and that whoever committed the rob- bery had no intention of killing the aged man, and that under ordinary circumstances the blow which he re- ceived would not prove fatal to a younger man. It proved fatal in this case because of the advanced age S& the victim.
 The crime was staged fin one of the most lonesome spots in the oity, and ks the exact scene Of the famous and still unsolved Yorka murder mystery of three years ago. Tho ground sur rounding the place where MT. Skinner was found has been thoroughly searched for his bfIbOok and teeth, but no trace of them were found.
 Mir. Skinner was born in New Or leans, La, came to this city as a child, and has made his home here ever since, He was employed as head of the shipping department for the firm of Curtis & Curtis for many years He Is survived by his wife, two nephevEs and a niece.

Where Were Inspectors
 When Grand Street Bridge
 Work Was Badly Bungled?
(Contnued from Page One)

Outside of that little is known of the con ern, and nothing has come to light to show what bridges they eyer erected successfully, if they ever at tempted to erect one.
 Another matter that is causing not little worry is the Railroad avenue and Bostwic6 avenue sewer work
 De Voc TompHdns had this job aIso and as on the Grand street propost- ton also relinquished the contract, which was finally taken over by Leary and Company, his financial packer.
 The contract was a, unit figure af- fair, but the estimate for the work was approximately S400 900.
 At the present time the contractors have earned &330, ,121.33 and while 15 per cent. less than that amount has been actually disbursed, the fact re- mains it will have to be paid some time and the work is not nearly fin ished. It is bound to exceed the esti- mate.

Diary of a Fashion Model


LIKE to show an expensive gown of
 rose velvet or one of palest gray with
 dash of silver. or possibly one of blue velvet faced with orchid. Our cus- toners like these elaborate dresses. and seem at first to succurnb to tho charm of their exquisite color, but Somewhere out of the blue' they find self-control - that quality which is characteristic of the modern woman-and like the French women who kept up their spirit by gay ing "C'est Ia guerre," they turk ts deaf ear to the pleadings of these exquisite colors and order something durable.
 Of course, am tired of the word dur able" but the spirit of thrift has swept over the nation. The woman of wealth Is keenIy alive to It's calling. Not to squander money is her aim.
 There's so much misery in tho world, D they say, T couldn't wear that elahor. ate gown and think of the orphanB in France or of our own dear boys who need 50 much. Give me something dur able that 1 can wear and still look a soldier In tho face.
 "Of course I want to look well The French women, through all tho horrors of war, have never let go of their hold on charm or fascination or beauty, which Is the due of brave men to find in their women. Again I aak you. please give me something which Is becoming, and which doesn't bespeak extravagance in every line and trirnruius."
 This Is the cry of the American worn- an today. It's fine appeal you must admit Mime. Frances Is meeting it in her variety of designs for durable dresses. which arc becoming and fe:nin- inc in every detail.

 To change the shape Of the nose isn't within the province of any one but the skilled surgeon. You shouldn't let vanity urge you into an operation for improving the shape of your nose unless 1t has been broken through injury and requires resctung. Aside from the value of a good nose as an attribute to beauty, it l5 said to indicate character as no other feature of the face does.
 There are some analysts who say that the eyes are tho windows of the soul. Others insist that the mouth eX- presses the personality Of every in- dividual while still other wise ones maintain that the keynote to a person. g character is found in the chin.
 Sculptors aud artists will tell you that tho nose balances the entire modelling of your head. There are many seem ingly commonplace things that you may do to beauufy your nose and improve the expression and outline of your face and head.
 Possibly fl seems strange to say that you should first begin with the arrange nent of your hair. but this is, neverthe- less, the first step in giytng the proper setting to your nose. Conversely the shape Of your nose should govern the arrangement of your hair.

THE CARE OE A PIANO.

! Danpness is very injurious to a rfiano; 1t should therefore be located D a dry place, free from draughts. Keep your piano free from dust. % not allow needles, pins, etc, to be placed upon 1t, especially if the key board is exposed, as such articles are apt to get inside and cause metallic rattle or whizzing sound.
 Keep the top of piano free from books, music, ornaments, etc, as the quality and tone are deadened by articles placed on top.
 Have your piano tuned every three months, as whether used or not there is a constant strain upon 1t.
 An upright piano sounds better if placed two inches from wall.
 To maintain the lustre of wood work, rub it with an old silk hand kerchief, being careful to first free tho dust.
 If any of the notes keep down prevailing dampness.
 When the finish shows pronounced season cracks, 1t may be greatly inn proved by a rub-down in powdered punice and sweet oil. It is slow process but well worth the labor. This will produce a rich, dead lustre,
 better than cracked varnish in Aearance.
 If possible place the piano on ar inside partition wall, where damp nessdis at a minimum.
