Picture Reviews Fashions,

A revue of American fashions
from the days of the Pilgrims to
the present is one of the distinctive
pictorial features OF William de
Miles Paramount, productieg Of
Nice People," which will BE- seen
at, the Fort Armstrong beginning
next Sunday.
4 The occasion is a Fourth of July
masquerade ball and the guests ap-
pear wearing costumes reminiscent
OF every important period of Amer
lean history. No two costumes are
alike. Colonial grand danes maids
OF the first revolutionary period,
Civil war beauties and dozens Of
other types are presented with their
masculine counterparts. Julia
Faye, In the role of the hostess, is
gowped as Columbia. Bebe Dan
iels, charming In the huge skirted
/ gown of 1910, and Conrad. Nagel
as an early Colonial cavalier, are
the other principals Of this episode.
Wallace Reid, who is the other
member of the quartet OF principals
in the all-star cast of Mice Peo-
ple," does not appear in this Sc
i Quence of scenes. The Introduction
of this masque ball is an original
idea for which William de Mile
and Clara Beranger, who adapted
the story from Rachel Crothers'
play, are the sponsors. In most
other important respects, the Para
mount screen adoption follows the
original play closely.

make any statement regarding the
tragedy until to testify at the cor

from yesterday afternoon until Thurs
day at 10 a. M. Mrs: Bell was with
her husband in a state room on pas

much improved over that of yester-
day when she told a disconnected
story of the shooting, which she said
was the elimination of a drinking
bout that began in Minneapolis and
continued after they had boarded the
train. with other passengers as guests
In their state room. Mrs. Bells story
tos,the authorities here was to the
effect that her husband shot himself,
while she "a struggling with him for

Condition OF "Siame.e
Twins'' More Serious;
Operation Is Probable

Chicago, March 29.-Death still
lurked today in the shadows OF the
hospital room where lie Josefa and
Rosa Black, the twins who were
Joined at birth and have been called
"the Siamese twins" They continued
in virtual an unconscious state. Josefa
entirely oblivious OF her surroundings
and Rosa in q comatose condition.
The long talked of operation to
separate them is entirely contingent
on the death Of M which, physicians
nave said, would near the death Of
the other. Should Josefa die of the
yellow jaundice which has stricken
both. Rosa might. possibly live two
or three days but death would be
certain without an operation, DR..
Benjamin Breakstone said. The sue
cess Of an operation, the physicians
have said. would depend upon
whether the sisters each constitutes
a separate physical and psychological
entity. The mere separation Of flesh
and bone would be easy, according to
the physicians but the effect of the
operation upon h mental and nerv-
Gus systems has been considered
highly problemahcal.
Each of the sisters has individual
heart, lungs and stomach. Posefa.
who was stricken first. is most des-
perately i'll. Until las night the tenn
perature and pulse of the twins had
been virtually identical. But last
night, Josefa's temperature mounted
to 80 and her pulse to 100 while
Rosa's temperature and pulse remain
ed about normal at SO and IS, re-

RICHARD ACQUITTED;
MAY NOT HAVE TO
FACE OTHER CHARGES

New York, March 29.-George L..
(Te&) Richard, sports promoter, who
was acquitted of charges of assault
and abduction in supreme court here
early today, will probably not be
called upon to answer to three similar
indictments hat have been found
against him by the grand jury. This
was, indicated by Assistant District
Attorney Ferdinand Pecora who con-
Quoted the trial Of Richard on accu-
sations made by Sarah S~choenfeld,
aged is. -
After the jury had repofted its
findings, the court MI. Pecora said:
II am to look over the proofs of
the other cases before I come to any
definite decision. I haven't had time
to consider them yet as I have con-
centrated on this one case. Out OF
the four indictments, the one tried out
today and the one charging abduction
Of Nellie GaskoI are p~redicated on
virtually the same set Of allegations.
I think 1t fair to state that in view
Of the jury's decision, I would not
consider it worth while to submit
these same facts to another jury on
the abduction Indictment"
District Attorney Banton said to-
day that the decision as to trying
Richard on one of the three pending
indictments was entirely in the hands
Of Mr.. Pecora who probably would
not be at his Office for several days
because Of his run down physical o n
dition.

Chicago, March 29.-Secrecy in.
wireless communication absence of
which has been one Of the drawbacks
to this form of telegraphy, may be
attained by the adoption of the auto

Associated Press and commercial tele-
graph circuits in many parts of the
country, according to Sterling Nor

manufacture Of automatic telegraph
equipment.
Experiments have been under way
for months in sending and receiving
wireless messages with the automatic
printers, Mr.. Morton says, and the
system has proven successful.

holes in the tape, dispatch the i'm

The advantage of the machines in
wireless lies in almost infinite variety
of adjustments by which no machines
