WrangIing Precedes Fight

A prolonged heated discussion pre-.
ceded the riotous scene. The members
of the parliamentary league insisted
upon asking the government whether it
intended to discuss the treaties before
adjournment. Premier Nitti answered
that he would first have vote of conf
dencc and then whatever cabinet should
be in power would decide what should
be done. Thercupon members of the
parliamentary league invaded, the min
listers bench shouting and gesticulating.
A party of Socialists then rushed from
their seats and faced their adversarics,
the group soon engaging in fsticuffs.
All the members of the Chamber of
Deputies. with the exception of the Off
cial Socialists, voted confidence in Pre-
mier Nitti.
The adjournment. taken after the
vote, was amidst the greatest excite
ment, many of the deputies expressing
doubt as they dispersed Is to whether
the government really intended bring
ing up the matter Of the discussion of
the treaties on Wednesday. The belief
seemed rather to be that the chamber
would be dissolved for the holding of
general elections.

# fittings for the fireplace are
now coming in for their share
of attention, and they never
looked more attractive than during
these first chill days of fall. j.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut

display of andirons, screens, bellows,

and hearth brushes. The andirons
of polished brass look especially we'll

bricks, while rough stone forms an
admirable background for the black

4 n EVENING wrap so lovely
~ that ] am at a loss for words
n to fittingly describe its beauty
is one Of black chiffon velvet at OPP
penheim, Collins and Company's
store, Chestnut and Twelfth Streets.
The collar is of kolinsly. and the
elbow sleeves are also edged with
the fur. Long strips of gold cloth
form the sleeves and hang in panels
to the hem. On the gold cloth black
chiffon velvet is appliqued in a de-
sign showing the Chinese influence.
The lining is of gold-color crepe de
chine. A wrap of mole-trimmed silk
duvetyne in Pompeian Red with
collar and sleeves cut in one is suit
able for afternoon wear. Soft silk
duvetyne in brown, with beaver fur
on collar, cuffs and in back of the
pockets, makes another attractive
afternoon wrap.

TRIED oysters, fresh and crisp,
II are the latest addition to the
specialties of the restaurants
Cheri, l24 South Thirteenth Street
and 1872 South Fifteenth Street; and
when you have tasted them you'll
agree that they are truly delicious.
An appetizing luncheon they make,
indeed, with roll and salad and cof-
fee, and, of course, French pastry
la Cheri. Contrary to popular belief,
fried foods are healthful-when they
are correctly fried; and that is where
the Cheri restaurants shine. You
can be absolutely certain when YOU
dine there that your food will be pre-
pared properly. A good chef is no
less scientist than a good chemist;
and the chef who presides over things
culinary at the Cheri restaurants is
truly a master craftsman.

IF THERE is a wedding gift on
your shopping list, you will want
to see the silver at Bailey. Banks
& Biddle Company's store before de-
Gliding upon a purchase. There are
deep silver dishes, which, filled with
fruit, would make a rich and color
full addition to the scheme of things
in the dining room, and tall. graceful
vases, which. lovely in themselves,
will look still more beautiful when
filled with dark red roses or the
BRIDES favorite flower. Then there
are sandwich trays-a bride seldom
receives too many of these-in most
interesting designs, and mayonnaise
bowls with tiny ladies'. as useful as
they are beautiful. Silver candy
jars, which are so popular just now
for wedding gifts, have an added dis
tinction when purchased at Bailey,
Banks & Biddle's.

TEW of US give enough thought

caused by an uncomfortable bed. A
good box spring-and you can obtain
a most excellent one at the store of
H. d. Dougherty & Co., 1882 Chest
nut Street-and a mattress of curled
horsehair, which in itself is resilient,
being manufactured so that the hair
forms mass of tiny spiral springs,
allow you to rest comfortably and
naturally. Dougherty's process of
manufacture renders hair the most

lows the air to penetrate every fiber.
TOT the least of the good things
~ which have come to us from

plums, which were first brought to
this country about seventy-five years
ago by Johns Kelsey. California's
climate is favorable to their cultiva-
ton, and one orchard, from which
Henry r. Hallowell & Son, Broad
Street below Chestnut, have 5ust re-
ceived large quantity, produces a
particularly fine Japanese Plum.
These Plums are green in color, suf
fused with yellow and red, and they
are the sweetest and most delicious
plums grown. Each plum is care
fully wrapped, so that delivery in
perfect condition is assured. Apples
are coming in now, the Jonathan and
Winter Banana being two of the
best; and judging from those saw
at Hallowell's, they are finer than
ever this year.

When the court took lis noon recess
the respondent had not been sentenced.
The verdict came as a surprise 10
many who had followed the trial. il
being a widely held opinion that there
would be disagreement.
The ease was given to the jury about
4 o clock yesterday afternoon and il re
tired at about 9 last evening after re
porting its inability TO agree.
The respondent was in court when
the verdict was announced and al
though he was fairly well composed he
seemed somewhat nervous. Some ex-
cepti0ns have been taken by the de
Tense and il is probable that the tase
will be taken to the supreme court. The
penalty will not be imposed for two
days at least, probably. The law pro.
vides year IS Imprisonment or a fine
of $1,000
Following the announcement of the
verdict the court continued with the
case against Dewey L. Hanley, statc
purchasing agent, who is charged with
larceny and embezzlement from the
state, an argument being presented by
the state for continuance on the ground
hat the attorneys who appear in the
Hanley case also are attorneys in the

Report of the Captain, j. H.
Estey, to Boston
Headquarters
ONLY ONE ON EAST
SIDE OF VERMONT
Brattleboro Station Much Appreciated
by Soldiers and Sailors--45 Gallons
Coffee, 1,O44 Doughnuts, 500 Choco-
late Bars.

A8SC odlo.
Although no complete report can be
gwen OF the far-reaching influence of the
Red Cross canteen work which is being
conducted in the telegraph Office of the
old railroad station, few figures CON
tanned in the report OF the captain, j.
Harry Estey, TO the headquarters in Bos-
ton will give TO the public an idea of thu
extent OF the ministrations which serve
TO satisfy the inner cravings of the sol
diers and sailors returning to their homas
or those who are on furlough.
The canteen in Brattleboro is the only
one in operation between Springfield.
Mass, and Canada, on the east side OF
the state, and that it is appreciated Is
shown by the remarks of approval from
the lips of those who take advantage of
its services while the trains on which
they are passengers are stopping here.
From the time the canteen was opened.
Dec. 20, up toJan. the soldiers and sail
ors served with coffee, doughnuts, choeo-
late and cigarets numbered 6l7. During
that time the following amount of edibles
and smokables was dispensed: As gal
Ions of coffee, 22 quarts of milk. .044
/ doughnuts. 500 chocolate bars, 1000
cigarets and 500 books of matches.
Previous TO the time the canteen was
opened, and after Dec. l, eanteen workers
passed through the trains and gave out
rigarets and chocolate bars, furnished By
| the National society, TO approximately
500 soldiers.
The ultimate influence and value OF the
work which is thus carried on by the men
and women who are SO willingly giving
their time never can be measured and all
the workers are enthusiastic over the
work and the opportunity il gives them
TO meet and talk with the boys, many of
Whom have been overseas and who have
interesting tales to tell of their expe-
riences.
