Days Later.

For the last nine years John Miller.
a private detective employed BY the
I.ougrerty Agency in Manhattan, lived
in Mrs. Lena Martins furnished room
house az os5 Ha'sey street. Brooklyn,
with his father The elder Miller, whose
name also is John, is 90 years old and
suering from seniiity Mrs, Martin last
saw the son. VINO is 90. Saturday fore

Since then the white face OF the old man
has appeared frequently at the window.
Yesterday Mrs. Martin became sus-
plcious and went 10 the Ralph avenue

denunciatory articles in newspapers and
sermons by clergymen and of the fact
that Mayor Hylan. sitting as a Magis-
trate, presided over the hearing which
preceded indictments by the Grand Jury.
He gives II as his belief that a fair trial
would be practically impossible in Kings
county. His direction that the trials be
had In Nassau county Is made because
OF its accessibility to Brooklyn. but Is
left subject to any agreement between
District Attorney Lewis and the de-
PENDANTS to have the trials in any
county.
In his decision Justice Callaghan says
in part:
Has there been engrafted onto the
mind Of the average man the belief that
these defendants are guilty? 1t is diffi-
cult for me to understand how cam
paign for the conviction OF the defend
ants could have been carried with more
effectiveness than that which has been
conducted in this county since the un-
fortunate accident
1T rivals the efforts of well or
eanized corps Of propagandists. Preju-
dice, insidious in its nature, was so grad
TALLY and firmly implanted into the
minds OF the people of the community
that It Ia difficult to remove 1t. The
public press has lost no opportunity in
prcclaiming these defendants guilty.
Ministers of the gospel have from
the pulpit denounced the defendants and
procla lined their guilt. An organization
was formed in this county from among
the relatives Of victims OF the wreck. and
a desire for vengeance has been eH-
pressed in public meetings by the MEM
bers of this organization. which has by
resolution declared II would do every
thing in it's power to bring about con-
viction OF the defendants. An organiBa-
ton Of labor men has in effect declared
the guilt OF the defendants, and this
latter organization has said the catas-
u ophe was caused through tho fault of
the railroad management in failing TO
deal fairly with their employees, thereby
causing a number OF experienced rail-
road men to quit work.

trients we're expressed have been given

sentatives OF labor and capital were
present.
Before the detailed discussion of
plant plans Mr.. Battle said:
The condition that confronts the in
dustrial situation to-day Is a serious
one. The question that must be answered
is whether We are going to proceed in
an orderly manner TO the solution of
our economic problems. or sit idle and
allow force and violence TO enter our
national life. as we have seen II across
| the sea. There Is no time to be lost
| in setting our industrial house IN order.
| Proper cooperation between labor and
capital Is urgently needed"
| Mr.. Marks said that the joint trial
| board upon which employers and work
ers were represented. which had been
used during his term as president of the
Borough of Manhattan. had proved sue

ployers would be supplanted by genu

1T will be suicidal TO cut wages be-

| declared. We must not tamper with
human material in such a manner
Two speakers appeared for the Fed

several employers made brief speeches.

Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thlrds or the money usually spent for Gough prep, arations, by using this well-known Ola recipe for making cough syrup at nome. It is simple and cheap but 1t really has no equal for prompt results: It takes right hold of a cough and gives lnne- diate relief, usually stopping an ofol- nary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get -21s ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle ana add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, iC tastes good, keeps perfectly, ana lasts a family 8 long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly 1t acts. penetrating through every, air passage of the throat and lungss-loos-, ems and raises the phlegm, soothes ana heals the membranes, and gradually hIlt sureIy the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothinp better for bronchitis, spas modic croup, hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is a special and highly eoneen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, known the, world over TOT it's healing effect on the mem Dranes.

Under Auspices of Smith College Club at High
 School.

Under the auspices of the Smith College club, Brtdgeporters will have a. rare opportunity of hearing and meeting that distinguished Anglo American author and lecturer, Con ingsby Dawson, who has to his credit a number of well known works which have made his name a house hold word, both in America and in England. MT. Dawson will speak at the High school auditorium on SsnuaTy ,, at 8 o'clock in the even ing. His subject will be "RemakinS the World
 Although the theme of his subject is to give an account of the world struggle, yet it is not war lecture. but a portrayal by a great descrip i've writer, himself a soldier, of the tragedy through which the world has passed.
 MT. Dawson is making an extens- i've American lecture tour and the club considers itself fortunate In se- curing his services on January. The author spent a summer in the ocCu- pied territories of Germany, was in France at the time of her after-war era, and also in England. He comes here with the greatest stories of re- construction problems, the first thrill Ing, vibrant accounts of the whole torn era through which the world has passed and a vivid account Of everything which the average Amer ican would like to learn about the struggle in Europe
 Before the war his first literary recognition was in America lie was a New York publisher and art critic in his late twenties when the ''The Garden Without Walls aD- peared, winning him an immediate place in the front rank of contem- porary novelists. He has written numerous books during the war from actual experiences.
 The committee in charge of ar engagements for the lecture include Mrs. Otis CoveI, Miss Mabel Morris sey, Miss Marjorie Smith, Mrs c. T. Mccarthy, Jr., and Miss Sara Rich ards.

BRILLIANT SONG PROGRAM AT
 CLUB
Artists Double Program With American Selec-
 tiOns.

Practically doubling the program in answer to the many encores ac- corded them, beautiful Anna Fitziu. soprano of the Chicago Opera Com pany, and Lionel Storr, basso- can tante, delighted the members of the Wednesday Afternoon Musical club yesterday afternoon at The StratfeId ball room, when the second of a series of artists concerts was given. In each case the encores were se- lecred little American gems. and greatly appreciated by the audience judging from the enthusiastic ap- plause.
 Opening the program with the aria, "Vissi d'Arte,'' from ''Tosca,'' by Puccini, Miss F'ilziu gave as an en- core "Spring," by Mrs. Grant. Miss Fitziu's charming personality and
 distinctive appearance held the at tention of the audience and her voice of rare beauty was a delight. Owing
 to a mistake in the program. ''Desir,'' by Sibel-a, was printed instead of "Ouvre tes Yeux Blue" which vas well given by the artist. Lane blanc" by Georges Hue was a charm ing little love song, and .'Si mes vers 1 avaient des ailes,' by Hahn. and i "Chantons les amours de Jeanne' ! showed the fine dramatic ability of 1 the singer. As en encore to this l group. Miss Fitziu gave "A Little ! Word" by Arthur Voorhes. ] Another aria by Puccini, Tn Quelle Urine Norbide," from ''Manon Les caut,' was delightfully."- given and the light concluding numbers included
 Eastern Romance" Dawn Mem ory,' and ITO You" The great ap- plause from the audience recalled the
 artist and she gave Mana zucca's 1 Bear Song'' and 'Cuckoo,' two char acterist:c little songs.
 MT. Storr was equally generous with i his encores and the appreciative ap- tpIause given him was repaid with a number of delightful American songs.
 MT. Storr has a, delightfully."- rich, mel low voice of beautiful quality. He sang with skill, intelligence and marked diction.
 i Verdi's ''infeIice! tuo credevi," from "Ernani," was given with dra- matic feeling and ability. ''Le Por- trait Tn Flanders Ffelds,' and "A Toreador's Love Song" were all well given and called for more.
 Rudolph Gruen was the accompanist for both artists, and played with abiI-
 ity.
