fused to eat even the choicest
of dainties.
The veterinarian was called,
but Trixsy sank lower and
lower and this morning her
spirit f1uttered away to join
that of Snowballs.
Her body lies in satin-lined
casket with silver-plated han

says, "Our darling Trixsy, born
1914, died July l3, 1922"

Joseph Perry and Mrs. Ida STAN
ley, proprietors OF the Carroll

bail to await action Of the grand
Jury on charges of conducting Il

ington woman.
According to Attorney Dawson,
! he, with his wife, had gone to the
club to make an investigation as
to the character of the place. I'm
mediately on their entry they were
recognized by the woman companion
Of Sproul, who came over to Daw-
sons table, he states, and made an
indiscreet remark before Mrs. Daw-
son.
Sproul Is alleged to have taken
up his companions quarrel, with
the result that he was given a
swift uppercut to the jaw by the
States attorney and told to mind
his own business.
Attorney Dawson has announced
that he will clean up the entire
county of questionable places, and
that he had gone to the Carroll
Country Club on the petition Of
forty-five nearby residents who had
complained Of the night parties.
The courtroom was crowded this
morning with Rockville and Be
rhesda residents, who had hopes
of hearing the full story OF what
-ook place in the club nearly two
weeks ago and which was hushed
up for more than a week.
Because OF the fact, however, that
he preliminary hearing was waived
" the proprietors of the club. the
expected sensation did not material.

fven the case In November. at tho

THE CONSCIENCE AS A
GUIDE IN BATHING SUITS.

The Oshkosh wis., North
western printed an editorial stat
ing that the managers of large
ly patronized bathing beach near
Washington, d. c., finally gave
up trying to regulate the cos
tunes worn by bathers and de-
cided to leave it to the bathers
themselves.
Let your conscience be your
guide" is the motto the mana
gers have laid down, says the
paper-the modesty, decency and
good taste of bathers to deter
mine what they shall wear.
The outcome will test, as the
editor conjectures, whether many
bathers bother about their con-
sciences when they go to a public
bathing beach. At Atlantic City
for years the costumes were not
municipality regulated. Affairs
became so scandalous that the
city officials were compelled to
adopt restrictive regulations re-
quiring decency i'm bathing cos
tunes and beach behavior.
When conscience is left behind,
the bathing suits grow thinner
and smaller, and decency of be-
havior becomes a mere express
sion.

SKULLS in COURT
introduced i'm Evidence in Trial
of James BoIin.
Farm Hand, Convicted of
Arson, Asks New Trial.

The charred skulls of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles owens, who perished when
their farm home near Berryton burned
TO the ground the night of February
20, 1921, were introduced~in evidence
today in Judge George Whitcomb's
division of the district court during
arguments in support of new trial
for James Bolin, farm hand, convicted
of arson.
The bodies were exhumed a few
days ago from the Linn Creek ceme-
terry upon motion of the defense on
the ground that further examination
would furnish evidence in support OF
the motion for new trial Dr. h L.
Alkire and Dr. A. B. Jeffrey were
called to the witness stand today by
BOlin'S attorneys and gave it as their
opinions that the skulls of the aged
couple were not fractured prior to the
fire. Under cross examination they
stated that their opinions were based
largely upon statements made to them
concerning the positions in which the
bodies were found, and the circum-
stances of the fire, rather than purely
to determination of the skulls.
Arguments Being Made.
Introduction of the testimony was
objected to on the ground that any
information now obtained from an ex-
animation of the skulls would not be
newly discovered evidence in a legal
sense because with reasonable dill
gence it could have been presented
to the jury at the time of the trial.
The arguments were still in pro-
gress late this afternoon.
Bolin has been in Jail since his con-
viction on the arson charge by a jury
in Judge George Whitcombs court
last November. 1t is probable that II
his motion for a new trial is over
ruled he will be sentenced immedi-
atefy The penalty for first degree
arson in Kansas is confinement in the
state penitentiary for term of from
ten to twenty-one years.

efforts to protect the streams and nat
