CRIMINAL DRESS SCORED
London Bishop Dwells on Evils Ii
Pastoral Letter.

LONDON. Dec. Is. - The dress of
modern women was severely criticised
in a pastoral letter which DIR. Graham.
the Roman Catholic bishop-auxiliary of
st. Andrews and Edinburgh. addressed
to his diocese.
Adequate clothing is required, he
says. to protect virtue, to control evil
passions and to remove temptation. De
cent clothing is a part of the structure
of exterior modesty Women attired in
way opposed to Catholic modesty de-
graded all womanhood with their shame
leSSneSS.
The criminal improprieties of dress
are in the same category as obscene
dances. sex films and unclean plays.
There was a connection between the
brazen improperly of female dress and
the CHASTITY increase of sins against the
sixth commandment

Rev. Il. G. Beurchier, vicar of Hamp-

contract.
He also thought it would be a advan-

The MeddLer
''If the coat FITS you. put it on"


Two things Jared on The Meddler's
sensibilities in connection with the other
wise satisfactory observance of Marshal
Foch's stop in Brattleboro Tuesday morn
ing. One was the fact that Governor
Hardness saw fit to read his speech of
welcome: the other was the absolutely
frightful rendition of the AIarseillaise by
the band. In the case of the governor it
is possible that he did the officially correct
thing in view of the distinguished guests
inability to understand English At any
rate it should be noted that he turned
the manuscript over to Marshal Foch
after reading it. In the case of the band
there is the faint hope that the generals
simo failed to recognize what they were
attempting to play.
1t is possible. too, that Governor Hart
ness may have committed his speech on
the way down from Springfield. Vt. only
to have it driven from his memory by an
event that occurred just as the proceed
ings were about to start The governor,
it seems, had brought a tall hat to wear
during the ceremony but in his excite
ment left the lid at the Brooks House
just before the Foch train arrived it oc-
Cured to him that he was without his
official head covering, and Boy Scout
was hurriedy despatched to the hotel
after it. The story goes that the Boy
Scout made record time from the plaza
to the hotel and back and would have
arrived in time if he had not been, held
up by one of the local police force, but
that doesn't sound like our police force
They don't very often hold anyone up.
However, as may have been noted, the
governor was hatless during the cere-
mOny. It's too bad there isn't an equally
good alibi floating about in favor of the
band.

No Attempt Made
 To Uniform Irish
 Army Leaders Say
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Oct 14-Adjournment of the Irish conference until next Mon day afternoon has no political sig nificance it was understood tonight. Postponement of the sittings was att tributed by the Sim Fein delegates to the 'Enghshman's passion for week ending"
 Some of the Irish delegates are taking advantage of the interval to visit Ireland in order to deal with what was declared by the Sim Fein publicity department as important departmental business. They will re- turn Sunday night. Considerable currency was given here today to a sensat tional report of the ordering of uniforms for the Irish Republican army and formation of a company to come to London to escort the Dali delegation back to Ireland upon the conclusion of peace. The story however, was ridiculed by Sim Fein leaders, who say no uniforming of the army is going on and that there is no question of any detachment coming to London.
 Since the truce there has been nc interference by the military with the Irish republican army, uniformed or not, and it's existence has been of- ficially recognized for truce pur- poses, with the CO., o-operation of laisor officers of the Irish Republican army and the British army.

 Planned By Head
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.-Prohibi- ton Commissioner Haynes, in a statement tonight, announced his de- termination to 'correct weaknesses" in the various state prohibition en- forcement corps. The department, he said, would use every effort to weed out enforcement officials. whether high or low. who did not appear to be in sympathy with his law enforce ment policy. The commissioner s statement was made after he had reached a- decision to have a thor ouCh house cleaning" in the Pennsyl- vania organization.
 MT Haynes earlier in the day an- nouuced he had transferred John EX- nicios. a general agent, from the Pa cific department to the Pittsburg dis trict Mir. EXnicios succeeds Samuel B. Wolfe, whose future status was not made clear in the official state ment although 1t was reported his connection with the bureau would be made known at an early day.
 H. c. Ruter of the Washington headquarters already has been sent to Pennsylvania as associate director with State Director Mcconnell.
 Mir. Mcconnell conferred with MT Haynes today but the only formal information which came from the meeting was that the state director was in thorough accord' with the commissioners program. Reports that MT. Mcconnell would resign again were denied.

SOUTHARDCASE
 PROLONGED BY
 COURT RULINGS
TRepubtIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Oct H. Following the ruling of the court admitting in evidence testimony as to the death of three previous hus- '>ands and a brother-in-law. the case of Lyda Meyer Southard charged in the information with the murder of her husband, Edward r. Meyer. took on an added impetus today with the prospect that at least another week will be consumed by the prosecution alone.
 The decision lets down the bars to to the introduction of virtually as much evidence in the case of each of the four deaths as was adduced with respect to the Meyer demise. Chemical experts will detail the re- suits of their examinations of speci- mems, taken from all the bodies and the medical history of each will be gone into fully. Following the pre- scription of this mass of evidence. the defense will require at least two or three days for the introduction of testimony.
 Lawyers for the prosecution sig naliZed their victory by preserving ar account of the final illness of Harlan C. Lewis, who was married to the defendant at Billings. Mont. March 10. 1919. and who died at Billings on D. Wernham of the Montana city oc- cupied the witness stand for several hours and step by step detailed the final hours of Lewis from the time he was called to take charge of the case until his death less than week later.
 He described symptoms of treat ment and concluded his testimony with the statement that the patients s,-ron+oros were consistent with noisonirg. Severe cross -eNamina tion failed to shake his story.
 The witness described the symp- toms of Lewis as consisting of severe vomiting. headache. sub-normal tenn perature and soreness over the region of liver and stomach. These same symptoms were all present in the Meyer case, according to teSumon> oq the nhvsician attending the lat
