FRANKlINS IN BANQUET
 HEAR ELOQUENT TOASTS
Six-Course Dinner for Hendrix Younp Men and Guests-Program
 by Orchestra.

The fourth annual banquet by the Franklin Literary Society of Hendrix College was given last night in the dining hall at Tabor hall on the Hen driX campus, beginning at 8:30 o'clock. One hundred and seventy members and guests were present.
 The six course dinner was prepared by the Young Ladies Missionary So ciety of the First Methodist church. Young men from the Harlan society served the course Music was fur nished by the Hendrix College or chestra.
 0. s. Gates, a member of the class of 1921, acted as toastmaster. The following made short talks and t5asts during the dinner: Invocation, Rev. (. M. Reyes; welcome, toastmaster; The Franklin Society" R. E. Robins; violin solo, Mrs Howard Johnston; "To Our Brother and Sister Societies" 1 PrIddy Westmoreland; response, Miss !

 Several of the young women pres ent were out of town guests. An amusing incident occurred when one of the Franklin members was inform ed at the last minute that his young woman guest would be unable to at- tend. His roommate, Oscar Coleman, forthwith dressed as young woman, and attended the banquet as the un- fortunate young mans guest Not until Oscar had almost precipitated riot by flirting inglloriously with the walters was the fraud discovered, to the merriment of those present.
 The committee in charge of the banquet was composed of the follow ing F. R. Scott, chairman; Thomas Hayes, Louis Mann, Walter Nelson and R. B. Robins.

Application for a patent on an an lmal trap which he recently invented has been made by Joe w. Hiett of this city, who expects to sell rights to construct the device. The trap, he declares, will catch and hold any sort of animal from a house to a bear, ac- cording to the scale upon which it is built, but is especially valuable in capturing rats.

FABRIC GLOVE IS APPROVED
Even Those Accustomed to Wear Kid
Have Declared Preference for
Newer HandcoVerlno.

The fabric glove has found favor
with the most fastidious; even those
accustomed to wear the kid glove ex-
clusively have declared preference for
the fabric glove for general wear,
Led by the fancy kid glove, which
has had its quota of success, the fabric
glove has begun to be decorated in
various ways. One of the weaves find
ing favor comes from France, and,
strange to say, 1t has been developed
with all thought for an American cli-
entele. 1t is an armure Of fine cotton
which has been passed through an en-
cry process, leaving 1t with a velvety
finish like q dull suede. 1t Is said to
be lighter In quality than the chamois,
which is the one liked best in the heav-
Ter grades.
Among the shades preferred, gray
and belize are now In the first rank
with such differences in tones as
shades In each color with white and
black and, not infrequently, cOmbina-
tions Of the two.

Compartments as Important az Style
-DuVetyn FalIIe, Silk and Can
ton Crepe, Materials.

Smart compact bags are the key
note Of the novelties featured this
season. Paris has set the pace for
bulkless appearing handbags. and
American manufacturers have adopt
ed this idea with variations to suit
the needs of American women.
Bags are carried more for utility
than for decoration by American
women, it was pointed out, and there
fore compartments are as important
an element as the style. To give the
fiat effect and at the same time make
1t roomy has taxed the ingenuity of
manufacturers, but they have sue
ceeded admirably in combining the
two. Bags are being made so small
and at the same time spacious enough
for toilet articles, that the term wan
ity" Is literally applied.
The envelope bag. square and OBJ
long shape, is the most stressed style,
but bags on frames and draw strings
developed in new materials are also
conspicuously featured.
Duyetyn faille, silk and canton
crepe are three of the most popular
materials used this season and are
combined In many cases with steel
beads. There is a strong tendency
toward fur bags. Some manufactur-
ers are bringing them out in American
broadtail and the cheaper makers are
approximating this by using fur fab
rics or limitations.

FRANCES E. WILLARD MUSEUM
Little SchooIhouse Near GAINESVILLE,
Wis, Dedicated to Memory Of
Great Temperance Leader.

Log cabins and marble palaces,
courthouses and round towers are now
and again turned into museums in the
memory of some historic person. More
rarely the building is a schoolhouse,
but such is the case with the new
Frances K. Willard museum. The lit
tie country schoolhOuse near James
Vile, Wis, has recently been dedicated
by followers of the American temper
ance leader, among them former pu-
pills of Miss Wizards In Wesleyan
seminary and at Northwestern univer-
sity, and national officers of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union The
schoolhouse is far from imposing. Miss
willard referred to 1t once as "a sort
of big ground-nut," but 1t symbollzes
the progress of child who came into
wilderness with her pioneer family,
and through her good work gained a
place for herself in the Hall of Fame
at Washington, the only woman 80
honored.

later witness heard that the Torring.
ton was sinking. When witness ar
rived on the submarine he found two
other British captains already there
Captain Draper of the Umvoti and
Captain Ashfield of the Petridge-
both of whose ships had been sunk.
Told He Was Lucky.
Mr.. Gattle-Did you have any con-
versation with the members Of the
submarines crew?
Yes, was bemoaning my fate, and
man named Kuper, who was lead-
ing seaman, said, "You are lucky you
have your hfe" On another occasion
l was talking to the senior wireless
operator, and he also said was lucky
to be alive, and added, 'There are too
many about now or l would tell you
something more" 1 used to get the
English wireless news every night from
this man, and one night he said: Your
crew never got home. They were all
drowned"
Witness went on to say that on
April IA the submarine sunk another
ship, named the Tora. The captain
was brought below by Werner and the
submarine then submerged, as she had
done after the Torrington was tor
pedoed. When she rose again Werner
sent for witness and asked him If he
would like to see ship sink. For
the sake Of getting some fresh air he
replied, "Yes," and he went up into
the coming tower and saw the Tora a
short distance away. She did not,
however, sink until some time later,
Two or three days later another
vessel was sunk by gunfire, and again
the submarine submerged after the
captain had been brought below. In
neither case, as far as witness could
see, was there any necessity for SUBJ
merging. Witness was eventually
landed at Heligoland and remained a
prisoner until December, 1918. Before
he left the submarine one Of the officers
gave him a piece of torpedo as a SOU
yenir and pass bearing the U-boat's
number and the commanders name.

Starkey said the Torrington was char.
tered by the Italian State railways.
He could not explain how it was that
he was allowed to escape alive when
he might become such an important
Witness He supposed Captain Werner
did not think he knew what had hap
pened to the crew.
Doctor Bungar-Several German
witnesses have stated that British
destroyer was approaching while this
was taking place.
Witness-There, was no destroyer
near, to my knowledge. If a destroy
er had been approaching, the subna.
rine would not have come to the sur
face twenty minutes afterward.

Graphic Tale of
U-BOat Murders

Before the submarine submerged
members of the German crew got into
Captain Starkey's lifeboat and rowed
away, and they afterwards returned
with loot from the Torrington and
also provisions, which were identified
by Captain Starkey as having been in
the other lifeboat. Captain Starkey
was afterwards kept a prisoner on
the submarine, and while he was on
board two other British ships were
torpedoed and their crews disposed of
in the same way. He was eventually
taken to Germany, and after the arm
istlce he came back to this country
and told his story.
InsuIted by German captasG.
Capt. Anthony Starkey of Cardiff
gave evidence bearing out cOunseIs
statement. He said he was thirty-four
years Of age and was now master of
the steamship Brendon. Describing
what took place after he went on board
the submarine, he said that Werner,
who spoke good English, asked him
his name, and when he told him he
said. "YOu lie," and pushed over an
old copy of Lloyd's Register, in which
the name. of the previous captain of
the Torrington appeared.
Witness explained that he had only
been captain Of the vessel for four
months, and Werner then asked If he
had any gunners on board. He re-
piled that they were on deck, and
Werner remarked that he did not see
anyone in uniform. Witness replied
In jocular manner that he had not
given them time to put on their best
clothes.
Mr.. Gattie-f you had known he
was coming you would have dressed
up for it. Was it the practice for
gunners to be dressed in uniform?
Witness-No; they were members
of the crew. Werner then said, "You
are a d. pirate. You deserve to be
shok and as for the others, let them
SWIM"
Had you any idea then what he
meant? No, | thought 1t was just an
expression like Let them rip" mean
ing let them go, don't bother about
them. Werner then went away and
the submarine submerged.
Continuing, witness said that after
the submarine came to the surface
again the German sailors returned
in the Torrington's lifeboat, and he
noticed that they had, among other
things. some of his personal clothing
and also tins of meat which had been
