ASSAILS AMERICAN
 INDUSTRY METHODS
Changing of Styles is One Instance Cited For ''Stu-
 pendous Subsidy" ..

Chicago. May 24.-Huge losses through industrial waste are being saddled- upon the nation 1t was de- clared today at a national forum held in competitor with the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers. Leading engineers manufac- turers, technologists and educators heard a sharp indictment of methods in American industry by l.. w. Wal lace of Washington, executive secre- tary of the American Engineering council of the Federated American Engineering societies.
 The American people. he said, were paying a stupendous subsidy through changing styles in women's hats. shoes and millinery. Every time fashion decreed slight style change in the cut of the lapel of a mans coat, more waste occurred, he said. Lack of effective planning Of elevators in great centers like Chica- go and New York. industrial design of locomotives and the commission sys- tenn in housing and building were add ing to the peoples burdens. he said.
 MT. Wallace gave the first official findings of the American Engineering councils committee on elimination of waste in industry, appointed by Her bert Hoover.
 Tn the manufacture and sale of ladies' hats, shoes and millinery" said MT. Wallace. there is great waste through changing styles. Who is re- sponsib1e? The designer. the manu- facturer and the dealer, will tell you that the women demand radical and frequent changes. The woman will earnestly insist that she would be con- tent to wear last years dress if it were not out of style.
 "A prominent locomotive builder was able to build 1883 standard de- signed locomotives in five weeks, while it was able to produce only 104 locomotives of industrial design in the same period.
 Twenty-Five per cent reduction in production possibly occurred in every mems ready-made clothing plant in- vestigated that adopted a slight style change in the cut of the lapel of the coat"

CROWDS THRONG COURT
 AS MOTT TRIAL OPENS
Accused Woman Appears to Be Suffering Severe
 Nervous Strain.

Bridgeport, May 24.-The task of on a charge of murdering her hus- and, George B. Mott, in this city last August, was started in the super for court here today. Before the court opened a large throng gathered in front of the Fairfiell county court house, and a squad of police was call ed out to keep the crowd away from the courthouse entrances. There was no dmittance to the courtroom ex- cept by passes from High Sheriff Simeon Pease.
 Among those who entered the courtroom were Mrs. Mathilda Hutch ins of Chelsea, Mass, mother of the accused woman, and Mrs. Nott's two children, Ruth, 13, and George, 12. Mrs. Mott was escorted to court by a charity bureau worker. Mrs. Mott ap- peared to be under a severe nervous strain as she took her seat in the courtroom.
 There were 99 taIesmen in court on summons for jury duty. Judge William M. Maltbie opened the session by mak- ing a short address to the newspaper men present. He cautioned the report CTS against giving nything but the facts in connection with the trial. Accounts originating from the courtroom. he said. must not be worded so that the accused woman would not get the "fairest trial in the world.' No cameras would be allowed in the courtroom. said the judge
 Up to noon l9 of the talesmen were examined, but none was accepted for duty on the jury.
 E. J. Beardsley, 32, 8 Monroe farm CT, was the first juror tentatively seat ed. He was the 33rd venireman ex- amined by the opposing counsel in three hours of court session. The question of capital punishment for a woman figured largely in the question ing of the prospective jurors by State s Attorney Homer s. Cummings and Robert F. Deforesty public defender, who is chief counsel for Mrs. Nott 4 After the noon recess, Beardsley was re-examined. It was brought out that the juror was distant relative of Elwood R. Wade, executed four days ago for the murder of Mott, and he was dropped, leaving the jury box empty.

Much PersOnation Also Mo- ticed At Polling Places Results Not Known For Several Days.

Belfast, May 24.-(By the Associat- ed Press)-Elections for the new par liaments in Ireland under the Irish home rule were carried out through out Ireland today, but only in the north of Ireland were ballots cast, as the nominations for the southern Irish parliament were made without con- test
 Ulster was astir early this mornin g to vote for the members of it's new parliament under the system of pro- portional representation.
 Vote Early is Plea
 The people had been appealed to by their leaders to vote early to prevent personation" and at most of the poll ing booths crowds were waiting at s a. m., the opening hour. For either side to bring in personators would not be difficult as in such districts as Bal lymaccarret the Nationlists will not even have watchers. as they said it would be suicide for any of their mum ter to enter the polling booths there. The Unionists on the other hand would not feel comfortble in Falls Road although there were plenty of police to protect them. Counting of the votes will not commence until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning and will continue until o'clock in the eve- ming, at which time it will be ad- journed until Thursday. It is possible that the Belfast results will be known Wednesday night but the others will not be in for several days
 Disturbances in Belfast
 Even Belfast, used to hot political fights had never seen such an election morning. It was more of fight to get to the polls ahead of opponents than a stand up battle, but this rush led to some nasty incidents, especially in the Cork street and Old Lodge area near the docks. AS soon as the military were withdrawn from the streets at , o'clock this morning when the cur few ended the rival factions appeared at the doors of their homes with their women folk to proceed to the polls Bricks and stones began to fly across the streets and a few shots were fired before the police arrived the disperse disputants. One constable was serious ly injured by being hit with a brick. A Frauds in Voting
 Donegal Pass, one of the polling stations for unionists in West Belfast was crowded hours before the time for voting by nationalists. Another long line of nationalists waited outside a thus blocking the way to their op- ponents. This occurred in many places where one side or the other was the stronger and it was evident much personation was going on. One woman who arrived at a polling station half an hour after it opened found her vote had already been cast.
 There also was a large number of child voters whose votes could not be refused. They ranged in age from a child of two and a half years who was just able to lisp I vote for MoIes' Q candidate in South Belfast, to boys and girls of 16 and IT years
