FACES HANGING ON
 CHARGE 0F PIRACY
Gerlnan-American From New
 York Held in BreSt 7
SENSATIONAL EXPOSE MADE
Accused Skipper Refuses To "Be The Goat" And Threatens To Tell In- side Tale of Liquor Smuggling Into U. S.
By The Associated Press.

by iHo AbSotlhteu fTtbo,
 Brest, France, Sept. 24. - Max Jerome Phaf, a German American who gave a New York city address when arrested in Paris, Sept. 16, on the charge of piracy on the high seas, and who stands in the shadow of the galows. If convicted before a maritime tribunal sitting here, ar rived in Brest today and was lodged in the naval barracks jail. The charge against Phaff grew out of the boarding of the French freight steamship Mulhouse off the Canadian coast last July by armed pirates who held up the crew and stole the cargo of nearly 36,000 cases of whiskey.
 Hearing Set For Friday
 Phaffs preliminary hearing has been set for next Friday, but Attor- hey P. c. E. Glide of the Paris and London bar associations, acting for the defense. has requested a post ponement until Sept. 30, in order to have an opportunity of further studying his clients case before en- tering plea of not guilty. The French law of April 10. 1925, still governs cases of piracy on the high seas. The penalty for convic- tion Is death by hanging. There has been no trial under this law since 1871. when a Greek privateer was tried at Toulon, convicted and eS- ecuted.
 The Trial Court. The tribunal to try Phaff will be appointed by the adnaral command ing the Brest region. It will be pre- sided over by a naval officer with the rank of captain who will be as- sisted by two lieutenants of the navy, one naval engineer and three judges attached to the local civil courts.
 It is the present intention of the defense. after pleading not guilty. to challenge the competency of the tri- bunal. If this is overruled, an aubi will be offered which will tend to prove that Phaff was in Halifax when the Mulhouse was boarded and l footed. .--- gBs. 4. Phaff. it Is understood may ais,fs in the court proceedings that he smuggled contraband liquor into the United States and demand trial before the United States courts. The defense also may argue that the owners of the Mulhouse are liable to the American courts.
 The Phaff case. 1t is said, is likely to develop some sensational revela- lions concerning the wholesale smuggling of liquor into the United States. The defendant declares he is unwilling to be made the goat' and says he will duplicate men ''higher up" in America as well as reputed reliable firms in Great Britain.

Cottage Place Man
 Successfully Grows
 Beans by the Yard
Beans by the yard?

SOluIely, MT. buIpdlih'
 E. E. Warren grows them at his home, 47 Cottage Place. They're of the string bean variety and were introduced into New Britain by Mir. Warren, who ob- tained the seeds in Byesville, Ohio, his former home, and planted them last spring.
 The man who wrote Jack and the Beanstalk" must have gotten his inspiration from yard beans. They do not grow to the clouds and into the garden of a giant but they are of sufficient height to be impressive. Mr. Warren has a plant seven and one-half feet high. The beans drape gracefully toward the ground. Mir. Warren has one bean pod which is S5ia inches long. He says the people in Ohio plant them in their front yards for decorative purposes.

27||N-1 GARMENT
IS VOGUE OF
SEASON
Dress and Coat Ensemble fc.
Tea and Restaurant Is
Chic Also for Evening.
BY ALICE L.ANGELIER.

PARIS, April 11-There are
many three-piece costumes in the
new spring collection, but they are
really three piece in name only. 1t
Is the two-in-one which is the pop
ular garment of the season.
1t consists of dress and coat
ensemble which makes a charming
tea and restaurant frock and is
dressy enough in many cases to be
left on for the evening. 1t is
straight in line with simple trim
mings of braid and frills, depending
Tor it's individuality upon the fine
cut and workmanship.
The Worth feature is to create a
model of crepe de chine or marco
cain by coat of slightly darker
shade. They are straight and very
simple, with panels or aprons on the
gowns and most of the coats have
accompanying scarves? Worth's
novel scarf comes in supple suede
with fringed ends.
Paul Caret is Showing a two or
three-in-one affair of printed crepe
which sheds its ruffles, cape and
even skirt and then becomes an
entirely different type of gown.
Bertholle's two-piece frocks are
often very rich in effect. A, coat
OF green, orange and silver lame
with black cire ribbon is finished
with a black satin ruffle below the
waist line and worn over a tight
satin skirt. Another designer is
making many of his coats like long
vests with no sleeves, except those
that are on the gowns. They are
more mannish in cut and the
sleeves are finished with link but
tons. One particularly effective CO.'S
tune has little box jacket over a
sleeveless frock trimmed with
striped bands.
Tollmann puts little hip jackets
over his dresses which have very
short skirts. A reps tailleur in
dark blue has a deep band of APP
pliqued red leather round the bot
tom of the jacket and touch
about the cuffs and collars. Some
are in popalga and printed crepes.
White serge and coral are combined
In striking manner and one called
Revere" is embroidered all over
In large figures symbolic of ancient
Egypt.

Mrs. Asquith, famous diarist, in a re-
cent interview took occasion to remark
that the English womans complexion
is far more beautiful than that of the
average American woman. The truth OF
this assertion is admitted, If reluctantly,
by all who have been in England. But
Margot did not mention the fact that
the ladies of her country are much
given to the use of what is CONNER
cially known as Mercolized Wax, re-
markable ais a facial rejuvenator- This
wax has the peculiar property of absorb
ing the soiled and lifeless particles of
scarf skin as they appear. the fresh new
skin underneath, with its bloom of
youth and health, then being in evl-
dence The process is quite harmless,
causing no Inconvenience.
Mercolized wax can be had at drug
stores here, as well as abroad, and if
you will procure about an ounce of it
and apply little art bedtime, like cold
cream, washing it off mornings, you
soon will behold in your glowing cheeks
close resemblance to the wonderful
transparent beauty of the English won

Of loyal citizen Of and rooter for Washington.
His sterling qualities overlooked forgotten BY his
heghbors and admirers in this big big and glorious in
It's future but still not large that nothing about
our next door nehbo The fact that know each other
good bad points and continue to enjoy the friendly re
items that much in daily lives is one Of the
things that mpart to genuine community spirit and deep
and sincere regard for the welfare Of the other fellow
In New York. where man doesn't know his next door
neighbor and doesn't whether he does know him. they
might give Broadway comedian guffaw at the thought that
here IN Washington still relish the idea Of meeting Jim
or JACK or Tom and swapping bit Of human Fellowship
And like Coolidge because he is good friend and a
good neghbor Wewho have many years have
seen Presidents come and CO. Senators and Congressman
their little parts the political and legislative stage and
disappear not much impressed with political greatness
or near greatness We are impressed though with those
genuine qualities Of manhood that make loved and
trusted with his patriotism and devotion to country with his
fidelity to his duties and to his friends.
There have been Presidents in the White House much
engaged in political shemng and the making Of political
capital that they had thought the voeess people Of
this city people amounted to nothing in voting power
and why bother with or about them outside of extending
gracious handshake or smile in meeting passing them?
President COOLIDGE seems to be real neighbOr and
friend not powerful that he forgets immediately
around him His and thoughts must cover whole
nation but they also seem to include the Capital City which
Voeess people their feelings naturally con-
cenrated upon their fair city and its progress
washington is the greatest of all cities deserving Of thought
f consideration and liberal treatment by Presidents cabinet
officers and the Congress that their town council Their
ambition is to the District of Columbia grow in world
wide Importance and regard and attain the place it de-
serves it must have the good will and aid men high in
power in each administration
The President the friend of Washington and promises to
remain So despite the great responsibilities he shoulder
ana the huge problems he must attempt to solve
Inc czens OF Washington cannot share with the President
the burdens that will pile upon him. but they can and do
extend to him their sincere wishes for and good
health in the coming They feel that they can trust
him as true friend Of the District who will battle with them
against nusces in Congressional acon-not niustces to
them citizens but to the beautiful and beloved city they
believe the whole nation is vitality interested in.
