New French Fad Creates Sensation
at Lonqchamps

Paris, Oct. 4.--The record list Of
sartorial sensations was sprung Sunday
by the feminine contingent at the. pad
dock Of the Longchamps race course,
which Is crowded by thousands who
have come here to watch the running Of
the Prix de rArc de Triomphe, the big
est event Of the fall season.
The most notable innovation Is the
absence Of silk stockings. These nave
been replaced by ribbon like streamers
of elastic gold winding up the legs
from the ankles. The bare skin OF the
legs Is dyed with henna. The feet are
encased in embroidered Chinese slip
pers, cut so that the perfectly modelled
toes, dyed light dawn pink are seen.
One girl, in mounting the steps to the
Jockey Club stand, revealed hand
painted rose on each bare knee and
fastened to each bare calf was q tiny

Furore was caused by the introduc-
tion for the first time since the days Of
Louis XIV of white wigs.
The usual large crowd Of American
fashionables were seen on the paddock.
Included were Mrs. Stanley McCor-

had not yet identified the shipInent
on its consignee.
The Federal Reserve Boards state
ment contained an item merely records
ing receipt Of the gold from "Russia
in Europe" Although there are sev-
eral small provinces of Russian En-
rope which are not under Soviet con-
troll, federal officials maintained that
1t was not probable they were sending
out even comparatively small con :
signment of gold because of their ~
nancial conditions.
Federal reserve board officials sug-
gested that the shipment might have
been one which was started TO this
country before Americas declaration
Of war. When the United States en- :
tered the war, the government as
sumed control of exports and imports
of all gold and silver and it was said
that as result the shipment might
have been held up in some European
country until its passage in safety was
assured.

BURIED NEAR HOME
Simple Services Mark Funeral
of Former U. S. Senator and
Governor of Massachusetts,

Dalton, Mass, Oct. 4.-By A. P.)
A simplicity in keeping with his way
of life marked the funeral today of w.
Murray Crane, former United States
senator, ex-governor of Massachusetts
and millionaire manufacturer. The
body in flower banked casket lay in
the hall of the great house on the hill
while neighbors, mill workers, leaders
Of industry, politics and finance and
other friends streamed past for fare
well view. There followed service
of scripture reading, hymn recital and
prayer. after which church bells tolled,
and the family, assembling in pri-
vate In the village cemetery, short
distance from the Crane estate, listened
to the burial ritual. There was no
hint of eulogy except, possibly, in the
prayer, and no music of any kind.
A throng largely made up Of towns
people who hailed the senator as friend
filed the approaches to the residence
and invaded the lawns. As many as
could find room were admitted to the
house. AS mark of respect to the
memory of Mr.. Crane holiday had
been declared for most Of the work
ers of Dalton and Pittsfield.
Governor Coolidge came across cOun-
try in an automobile, while Lieutenant
Governor Cox. members Of the COVER
nor's staff, executive councillors and
legislators arrived by train from BoS-
ton. Former Governor Bates, who was
one of the honorary pallbearers, ac-
companied them. The other palbearers
were Frank w. Anderson, former chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee; ii. b. Thayer, president of the
American Telegraph and Telephone Co.,
and Daniel NJ. Woodruff, all of New
York; Solomon Bulkley Griffin. for
merly managing editor Of the Spring
field Republican; Arthur w. Eaton
and Irving d. Ferrey, of Pittsfeld, and
former Senator John w. Weeks.
Former President Taft, who was an
nounced Saturday as heading the list
of pallbearers, is travelling in Canada,
and it was found impossible to convey
to him word of the senator's death in
season for his attendance at the flu
neral. .
The Rev. Ralph M. Timberlake con-
Quoted the service in conformity with
a program arranged in part by Mr..
Crane.

PRESIDENT RECEIVES
U. S. SUPREME COURT
Justices Pay Respects for First
Time Since 1o1s-Many I'M
portant Cases for Review

Washington, Oct. 4.--(By A. P.)-
For the first time since 1918 President
Wilson received today the justices of
the United States Supreme Court, who
called to pay their respects. The court
convened at noon after its summer re-
cess and Immediately adjourned until
tomorrow so the justices might visit
the White House. -...
The annual visit to the President was
omitted last year because Of Mr.. Will
sons Illness.
The Supreme Court found a docket
crowded with important cases. Besides
half dozen anti trust suits, matters
pending included further attacks on
the prohibition amendment, suits to
test the constitutionality of the anti =
profiteering section Of he food control
act and of the federal farm loan act, ap-
peals in the Newberry election case and
many others.
With the federal suffrage amendment
ratified and proclaimed since the court
adjourned early in the summer, court
officials expect that cases designed to
test the constitutionality of that amend
ment also will reach the court during
the present session.
The first case to be argued at this
term will be government appcals>>in
the dissolution suit against the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Co., part of the alleged
anthracite coal trust. This case is SET
for tomorrow.

the court again through petitions asking
reconsideration of the decision Of
last June z, sustaining the Amendment
and portions of the enforcement act
rendered in appeals Of Christian Fie
genspan, brewer of Newark, n. J., anc
George G. Dempsey, Boston liquor
wholesaler. A decision on these peti
tions is, expected within n few weeks
A number of other cases involving in
terpretations of the enforcement act
still are pending and further decision,
amplifying the courts original opinion
arc looked for at this term.

BAR INVESTIGATION
OF RUSSIAN LABOR
Soviet Government Will Not
Allow Mission Of Inquiry to
Make Survey
FEAR UNFAVORABLE REPORT

Washington, Oct. 4. - The Soviet
Government Of Russia, according to re-
ports reaching Washington, has refused
to permit the Mission of Inquiry, or
ganized by the International Labor Of
flee Of the League of Nations, entry into
Russia for the purpose Of studying the
effects Of communism on labor. The only
reason given was that Russia was not
member Of the League of Nations
but 1t Is considered significant in this
connection that the preliminary report
Of the mission, based on material gath
cred outside Of Russia, found nothing
of which it could approve in the system
of Soviet government.
It-is interesting to note that the first
suggestion of making an inquiry into
conditions of employment in Soviet Rus
sia came from NJ. Zokel, the Polish
Government delegate on the governing
body, who laid particular stress on the
consideration that large portion OF
the unrest among the working classes
throughout the world Is perhaps due
to complete ignorance Of what Is hap
pening in Russia, asserting that work :.
ers who are suffering more and more OF
economic and social disorder caused by
the war are fascinated by the mirage
of Bolshevist paradise.
The governing body decided that the
personnel of the mission should be made
up of five employers, five workers and
two government delegates, feeling that
with such a composition its work would
be conducted on an absolutely scientific
basis and its report be impartial
DIR. G.. Pardo, head Of the inquiry
into Russia. was Immediately instructed
to get together all the documentary evil
dence available in western Europe. The
fullest and most systematic research
work was undertaken in Paris and Lon
don, with supplementary investigation
in Switzerland, Sweden, Italy and Ger
many.
The result Of this work supplied the
material for a preliminary report on
labor conditions in Soviet Russia, which
while it lays no claim to be anything
more than systematic QUESTIONABLE
and photography, designed to serve as a
guide for the members Of the mission,
clearly indicates that the net result OF
the Lenine -Trotsky regime in Russia
has been the absolute ruin of industry
and the enslavement of labor under an
autocracy that goes far beyond any
thing in the history of governments.
This preliminary report studiously
avoids drawing any conclusions, each
chapter being completed with a state
ment of missing evidence and questions
yet unanswered. The international labor
office makes it clear that the work is
absolutely scientific and that the mission
of inquiry will arrive at no conclusions
until after all the documents embodied
in the preliminary report can be con
sidered in Russia. For the present all
sources Of information in western
Europe have been exhausted and the
further inquiry will have to rest in
abeyance until the Soviet Government
of Russia concludes to permit the in
ternational labor Office to test the ac-
curacy of these sources.

The conviction that the country can
hot survive as an independent state.
Along with this, however, is another
agitation for fusion with Bavaria, in
yolying the secession of that country
from Germany, and probably with the
Catholic Rhineland and the eventual
creation of a Catholic German state.
The plebiscite resolution, however, dis
tinctiy provides for a vote on fusion
with Germany. thus muzzling the
Bavarian movement.
A majority of the capitalists and in
telectuals feel that a way still can be
found to enable the country to survive
Independently. The Tyrol and other
Alpine provinces, where the monarchist
idea is deepest rooted, will take theii
cue from Bavaria and one effect of the
pebiscite resolution is expected to bt

Bavaria. The Vienna newspapers lately
