Thy Associated Prcssl
Geddes Sounds the Warming


Red Springs, NC, Oct. 18.-Stand-
ing under the American flag with
SAe British Union Jack to his right
and the flag of Canada to his left,
Sir Auckland Geddes, British AM
bassador to the United States, speak
ing before the Scottish society of
America in session here today, made
a plea for better understanding of
international problems by the peo-
ple-the voters of the country
whom he styled as the real rulers in
Democratic countries.
The price of peace between great
nations today, whose ideas of De-
mocracies are similar, is eternal
vigilance over the policies adopted
by these nations, the ambassador de-
clared. Eternal vigilance can only be
maintained by educating the people
to the understanding of these poll
cies, he continued. The ambassador
said no nation can stand alone be-
cause the walfare of the one is well
fare of the other. The United States
and Great Britain are bound by ties
of trade, by ties of blodo and by ties
of thought, he added, and these gov
ernments cannot get away from in
ternational relations.

But Declines to Testify
Priests Slayer Was
Insane
STATE RESTS ITS CASE
Birmingham's Sensation
Rapidly Drawing to
Last Chapter
tBy Associated PressD

Birmingham, Oct. 1S.-When court
adjourned tonight the defense in the
case of Rev. Edwin R. Stephenson
charged with second degree murder
in connection with the killing OF
Father James E. Coyle, on August
II, had begun the presentation Of
testimony to support its plea that
the minister was insane at the time
he shot the priest. The state rested
earlier in the day.
According to the testimony of S.
E. Willoughby, Rev. Stephenson
talked to him great deal prior to
the prior to the tragedy regarding
the defendants daughter, Ruth,
whose marriage to Pedro Gussman,
Catholic, was followed by the shoot
ing of the priest who performed the
marriage ceremony.
Mr.. Stephenson seemed very much
disturbed and worried about some
of his family affairs, declaring that
his daughter was being carried into
the Catholic church against his will
and came to me for advice about it.
He talked very strangely and sew
eral times broke down and cried"
said Mr.. Willoughby.
Thought Trouble Was Over
Just few days before the killing
he seemed temporarily resigned and
asked me to keep an eye on her and
her mother. He seemed to think the
trouble would blow over" he said.
The first question on cross eX-
animation was what the attitude of
the witness was toward the Catholic
church. Attorney Black objected to
the question, but later withdrew op-
position and the witness said he was
opposed to the Catholic church and
its program.
Asked whether the defendant was
insane on the question of Catholi-
cism, Mr.. Willoughby said he be-
lieved that the defendant was alb
normal but balked at the word in
sane.
Mr.. Willoughby said Mr.. Stephen
son had never told him tina truth

three days or night or that she had
been tied to bed post and whipped
with a razor strap.
Girl Wanted to Get Away
William Hampton, employed at the
department store where Ruth was
said that on the day of
the shooting, when Mr.. Stephenson
came down to inquire about Ruth he
told the minister of a conversation
between Ruth and the woman said
to be her god mother" Ruth was
quoted as saying she would go to
Europe to get away from her father.
Jacob McGill, city detective, was
asked if he had been approached by
Mr.. Stephenson for assistance in
finding his daughter. He said he had
been asked and that the defendant
was very nervous and considerably !
wrought up.

GIRL STUDENTS ENLIST
IN DRESS REFORM DRIVE
Bay State Mothers in Lively Debate
Over Short Skirts and Low
Cut Waists.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. February II.
"A drive for dress reform among girl
students by installing the MILDLY
blouse as standard part of the
scholastic costume led to a free-for-
all. no-decision debate by the pupils
parents at the Central High School
here. More than $50 mothers took
part in the lively exchange of ideas,
which included attacks on silk stock
ings, elongated heels, low-cut waists
and high-cut skirts.
A majority of the girl pupils have
voted to wear the "middies."
The MILDLY blouse has been urged
by several members of the faculty to
promote democracy in dress and, ac-
cording to a teacher who said that
she made notes in, the school hall
ways, it was needed. Skirts can be
lowered, she added, but the waists,

and without symptom of a neck
cannot be remedied by tailor's art
the interest taken by girls in the
mode of dress adopted by teachers
and implied that missionary work
could be started by the ruler Of the
classroom. Another parent declared
that the MILDLY was a sloppy looking
garment, and by interJecting a style
issue into the controversy almost
scored success for rejection.
Champions Of the blouse regained
prestige when several women ex-
pressed strong disapproval Of the lax
ness in regard to dress. they, assert

LIVING COST IN BRITAIN
HAS STARTED ON DECLINE
Wage Cuts Have Been Accepted in
Some of the Poorly Organized
Trades.

LONDON. February 17.-I.abor cor
respondents of various London news
papers assert the cost of living has de-
ciined in Great Britain and that a re-
duction OF wages is inevitable. They
report decreases in wages already have
occurred in cases where sliding scales Of
pay were based on the selling prices Of
the goods produced.
These wage cuts. however, are mostly
in trades which are poorly orsanized
There is good deal OF speculation
among the labor writer's as to the at
titude of workers in highly organized
trades when they are called upon to ac-
cept a lower wage. in accordance with
previously arranged plans based upon
the cost of living.
The ministry Of labor official figures
on the cost of living for working class
families show that at the end Of De-
cember the percentage was 169 higher
than in 1914. against the November fig-
urc of 176. while for January it was ex-
pected to reach l65.
This. while alleviating the lot Of the
worker to some extent and assisting en-
ployers, will not solve the present acute
unemployment situation and MANY
agreements have been reached during
the past week or two whereby workers
have decided to go on short time or ac-
cept less money in order to avoid a total
closing down of works.
The F>urness iron masters and repre-
sentatives Of the mems union have met
and the latter decided to accept a re-
duction of wages from % shillings and
5 pence to 19 shiliings and 7 pence day,
so that work may be resumed in the
iron mines.
The number of unemployed in Great
Britain is given on labor exchange books
as S59, 900, while other authorities place
the total Of people without work at
/ 100000.
Short time is soon to 90 into force in
the government dockyards and other
government establishments.

LONDON, February 15.-Frequently
it is said that London never changes,
yet within the last year the worlds
greatest city has undergone a radical
change, both in spirit and appearance.
Returning after 4 period of fifteen
months, this correspondent finds fa-
miliar districts. such as Aldwych,
Soho, Charing Cross and the Haymar-
ket. upset by furore of building, re-
modelling and cleaning unprecedented
in several decades. The stagnation
and drabness of the war years have
been followed by throbbing. roaring
progress much like that in Broadway.
New York, in the early years of the
war.
Huge derricks, surprisingly high
and mighty. pierce the skyline in
every direction. especially in the Aid
fee buildings are going up. Standing
at the Gaiety corner in the Strand,
one may count six new buildings,
which. when completed. will make
that. district one of the busiest in the
world. Ancient blocks of buildings
along Fleet street. which had been
untouched for century, have been
razed or remodeled.
Unlimited effort is being expended in
refnrnisn d hotels Ions. occupied by
various government departments These
dirty faced. bedraggled remnants Of pre-
vious grandeur are being treated to
steam baths.
There is complete metamorphisis
OF spirit in the streets Pedestrians
walk faster than they did a year ago.
Traffic moves with a swift, hustling
pace. New lighting and decorating sys-
tens add strange new notes.
Along with the new spirit the city's
millions have changed in outward ap-
pearance, reverting to more fancifuI
colorings in clothing and headgear.

500 GALLONS OF WINE
SEIZED BY DRY AGENTS
Caeser Di Caeser Is Held for Un-
lawful Possession and Sale
of Intoxicants.

Two hogsheads and-six barrels of
wine. approximately 500 gallons, were
seized on premises at 495 c street
southwest yesterday afternoon by
revenue agents and police of the
fourth precinct. Caeser Di Caeser,
one of the several occupants of the
house, later appeared with mis- counsel.
Robert j. Miller. and furnished bond
in the sum of $1,000 for his appear
ance to answer charges of illegal pos
session and unlawful sale of intoXi-
cants.
1t IS the contention of counsel for
the defendant that only small por-
ton of the seized wine belonged to
Di Caeser. He said it belonged to
several occupants of the house and
was made many months ago. His in
formation was that Di Caeser gave
a friend small bottle of the wine and
that the latter was examined by the
police or revenue agents and fright
end into saying he had purchased it.
Defendant and counsel appeared in
Police Court this morning. The law
yer was anxious for an immediate
hearing. but the government insisted
upon postponement in order to give
the Internal revenue chemists an op-
portunity to determine the percentage
of alcohol, if any. the wine contains.
