made Of Maj. ople's case later will
depend upon the findings Of the
committee after the hearings of all
the cases before 1t have been con.
cluded.
That MAJ. opie was laboring un.

tuted trial" was evidenced when
his attorney. Col. John A. Cutchin

dress TO the committee and asked
that II render a verdict in Optics

Senator Watson explained that
Opie was not on trial before the
committee, that Optics name had
never been brought before the com.

In his concluding remarks, Col

The matter ought not go much
longer" Col. Cutchin said. 1T is
an extreme burden for Mai. Opie to
come up here. Both Mai. Opie and
myself are grateful to the commit

pecially in connection with the wit

WORK ON RULES
Federal Wage Board Considers
Overtime for r. r. Clerks.
Are TWenty-Three Rules Now
in Disagreement.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Extra pay for
overtime work and the eight-hour day
are the principal points sought by rail-
rules a the clerks national agreement
which were taken up for consideration
by the United States railroad labor
board today.
The board expected to complete its
draft of new rules within two weeks
and PRONUNCIATION of a new set of rules
to replace the agreement made under
federal control is looked for by Feb
ruary 1. Eight rules of the old agree
ment affect the clerks pay and these
rules have been the subject of the
greateNt disagreement in negotiations
during the last few months.
Like the national agreements of
other groups of railroad employees. the
clerks agreement was ordered replaced
by new rules which the board directed
the employees and the carriers to draw
UP by agreement. The disagreements
resulting from such negotiations were
referred to the board.
Twenty1three working rules upon
which the railway clerks union and the
roads have been unable to agree, were
brought before the labor board today
for adjudication. The eight hour day
is one of the chief contentious.
Twenty roads have refused to ac-
cept the clerks eight hour rule and
twenty-five have agreed. Some roads
want exceptions for employees in light
employment at stations where traffic
is light and few employees are needed.
The clerks demand general applica-
ton of the rule of time and one-half
overtime after eight hours

Alex HOWat Doomed.
Declares Withdrawal of Support
by Illinois Hard Blow.

Washington. Jan. 10.-Withdrawal
of the 81 a month assessment against
Illinois members of the U. NJ. w. A.
for the benefit of Kansas miners, is
taken as an indication of the collapse
of the fight of Alexander Howat
Searles, editor of the .. NJ w. A.
Journal, in an announcement today.
That the Howat fight has collapsed
is the view of U. NJ. w A. officials,
Searles says, because the supporters OF
Howat have received their support
principally from Illinois.

that Ellis Searles. editor of the U. NJ.
w. A. Journal, docs not know what
he is talking about" President Frank
harrington, OF the Illinois y. NJ. w. a,
this morning announced that support
for the striking Kansas miners will be
continued lin the future to exactly
the same extent as in the past"
1.-The Kansas strike has not col
lapsed," Mr.. Harrington said in COM
menting upon Mr.. Searles' announce
ment in Washington that the fight of
Alexander Howat against the union
had failed.
More miners are on strike in Kan
sas today than at any other time since
the strike commenced.
Illinois mine workers have not
withdrawn their support from the
Kansas miners. Instead we shall con-
tinue to support them in the future to
exactly the same extent we have sup
ported them in the past
Withdrawal of the 81 a month as
sessment, Mr.. Harrington pointed out,
has been replaced by support in the
same degree directly from the treas
ury of the state union.

"Girls of tomorrow will pay as much
attention to their feet as to their
face" said Mr. Stone. In the last
five years they have progressed more
in shoe styles than in twenty-five
years before. That's why I predict
protruding toes as the rage within two
years.
Won't Wear Shoes.
Today you can't give shoes away.
Girls won't wear shoes. They want
slippers-the lower the better. Skirts
high, slippers low. that is the idea. As
much ankle as possible must be shown.
The tendency everywhere is toward
sandals and slippers with straps where
the leather used to be- The less
leather in the slipper, the better it
will sell. 1t is only another step to the
protruding toe.
Toes have a subtle charm. I ven
ture to say Mark Anthony thought
so. You will soon see our girls dab
bling their toes with henna and wash
ing their feet as often as they now
wash their face.
Stockings To BE Sheer.
"Silk stockings our girls will always
wear. But when the toes are re-
vealed, the stockings will be sheer
very sheer"
The corrugated brows of many of
the 10000 delegates are the direct re-
suit, it. was said, of Miss America S
sudden adherence for what fathers
and husbands who paid the bills
formerly knew as the shoe.
What to do, sell slippers and
sandals exclusively. or turn manicur-
lists, that seems to be the question.

SHELDON REBUKES PAPERS
Declares Crimes Should Be Reported
Exactly as the Bible Does. .

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Both the news
papers of today and the Bible report
crime, but the Bible does it in the
tight way, the Rev. Charles Monroe
sheldon, editor of a religious weekly,
declared last night in an address be
fore the Medill School of Journalism
here.
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, twenty years
ago, accepted the offer of a Topeka
:.eWspaper to conduct that paper for
a week las he thought Jesus would
like to have it conducted" and the
experiment aroused comment in all
parts of the country.
r. comparing the methods of mod
err newspapers in handling crime,
With that of the Bible, the speaker
pc lnted out that the Bible gave only
a few lines in telling of David's COM
mission of adultery and murder, but
several pages to the prophets rebuke.
THAT was important" he said. 1T
would be important now-not the
morbid and horrible details of the
crime to daily poar the contents of
the gutter into your home. but the rea-
sons for the crime and the rebuies,
the reasons for the holdups and the
social conditions that cause them"
