 T came here to clear my daugh- ter's name" said Mrs. Miller.
 Answer yes or mo-" said Mir Rathbun.
 "I don't think yes would be a proper answer"
 You don't like Mir, Stokes do you?" said Mir. Rathbun.
 "I don't hate anybody" rejoined Mrs. Miller.

THEATER JURY IS
 READY FOR WORK
Some Decisions Likely by Last
 Of Week

New York, March 5.--Operation of the Citizen Play Jury plan for re- viewing theatrical productions sus- pected of being injurious to public morals begins today with the selec- .tion of several juries. Preliminary Ferdicts upon some of the 12 plays already complained of are expected by the end Of the week.
 Secrecy will surround the working l. of the plan. The jurors wiq not know each other until after a play has been reviewed. Managers will be unaware that their plays have been tried unless they receive notification to reconstruct their productions or to remove them entirely.
 After all jurors have witnessed a play they will meet in Camera and discuss the production, It it is de- clded by q nine to three vote to be as whole objectionable from the point Of view Of public morals" it will be ordered withdrawn immedi- lately If only parts of the play are condemned the manager will be potified 10 rc-write. The eXpurgatcd version will then be reviewed and a final verdict rendered.
 There will be no arguments be- fore the jury and no appeal from it's decision which will he made abso-
 ute by equity contracts. The ex- .trcmo secrecy is designed 10 prevent managers from "doctoring' their productions for those performances sa on by the jury and to forestall at tompts 10 make hox-office capital rom publicity District Attorney Banton said
 The pancI, BOO names from which the jurios are heinz selected hy a jury wheel by Police Commissioner
 F,nricht, has been assembled and approved by representatives of the theatre, reform agencies and the law.
 l The panel is "to represent good citizenship" and 10 person on the panel shall have any official or 1 financial connection with the theatre

BOTH COASTS IN UNCERTAIN SHAPE
Professor Willis Declares Ocean Floors Rising

Palo Alto, Cal. March 3.--Discus- sing earthquake shocks which shook the eastern part of the continent from Montreal to the Mississippi Valley Saturday night, Professor Bailey Willis for Stanford university. president of the seismological soci- ety of America, said:
 Roth coasts are rising. On tho Pacific there is a terrific submarine pressure which tends 10 elevate thc coast line. The temblors in Califor- mia have nothing to do with the sinking of any large area of land. On the east coast, the elevatinG ef- feet is actually much less than here because the pressure is apparently not so great. No one has yet deter mined the cause of the pressure, but the effects are plainly apparent.
 "The so-called earthquake faults are the shearing planes caused by that terrific ocean pressure. When enough lifting force is manifested to break down tho friction along these shearing planes there is a slight movement and an elastic vibration which is transmitted 10 a great dis tance. This we called an earth quake.
 "On the Pacific the water line is sinking as the land elevates. The pressure which caused the mid American earthquake of Saturday was probably in the Atlantic or tho Gulf of Mexico. There is another pressure point in the Mediterranean off the edge of Europe.
 "Elevations of mountain ranges. which we call mountain growth are due 10 a simple mechanical pressure eXerted against continental foundations. Something must give and the mountain ranges give up- ward, sometimes with a severe elas- tic vibration. No one can predict
 when or how often these vibrations will occur"

MELLON UPHOLDS TREASURY HONOR
Declares Proof Of CrOOkednesS
 Has Not Been Shown

Washington, March S,-Secretary Mellon in a letter today informed, President Coolidge that the treas ury's "acCusers" charging irregulari- ties in the handling of federal se- curitles remain "as far now from proving their charges as they were In 1920"
 The secretary added that with the exception of petty theft" involV- ing some $t3,00O in bonds the two and one-half years of investigation by Charles B. Brewer department of justice agents and the more recent investigation by special house committee had developed nothing more than reitcration of the or iginal charges made in 1920 by J. W. McCarter a former deputy reg istcr of the treasury.
 Mir. Melons letter, written as a reply to the report submitted by the house committee yesterday, advised the president that the treasury ad- ministration regarded the handling of the federal securities as having been remarkably free from irregu- lastics.
 It called attention that there were in excess of one hundred billion dollars worth Of federal securities issued, practically all Of which were under previous regimes, and ex- plained that former Secretary Hous- ton had established in pervious in vestigation practically the same facts as the present inquiry directed by Mir. Mellon.
 Mir Melons letter reviewed the activities of Brewer and McCarter, and declared that neither had been able to go further than 10 say that they suspected Irregularities but could not prove them.
 The committees report, he said, for the most, "is hardly more than a repetition of charges made by MT. | Brewer"
 Mr. Mellon mentioned that in ! April or last year ne ndd ans"eTtu l in detail all of the charges made and said q stated then, and I re- peat here, that there have been no fraudulent Implications or over issues of the public debt and that the charges are absurd"
 There were some mechanical and clerical errors in the preparation and recording of the enormous VOL ume of wartime securities" he said, land there were some petty thefts of retired securities from the files"
 "The mechanical and clerical CT rors," he continued, "did not result in any loss to the government, while the thcfts of retired securities from the files have involved loss 10 the United-statcs of only $13,100 out of approximately one hundred billion dollars of securities retired by the register of the treasury during the period 1917 to 1922"

Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is 10 get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients.
 While wispy gray, faded hair is not sinful, We all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after anoth- CT application or two, your hair be- comes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luXuriant.

ASSEMBLY HOLDS SHORT SESSION
Members to Hear Coolidge on
 Radio Tomorrow

State Capitol Hartford, March 8, Most Of the legislative measures which committees completed last week were turned in at Fridays ses- sion so that todays sitting in both senate and house was short and without debate or special feature, Many members were late but both branches opened on schedule and went ahead. The late arrivals found most of the work done.
 Committee hearings held the in- tsrest in the afternoon especially the bills to regulate marriage and mar rlsgs licenses before the judiciary committee.
 Most Of the lobster bills were be- fore the fsh and game committee, and more electric railway bills were taken up by the railroads com- mittee.
 Train Was Late
 The express from New York, which serves as the legislative one for members from Greenwich and towns in southwestern Connecticut as well as New Haven and adjoining towns. was threc-quarters of an hour late in reaching Hartford, due to delays at Mount Vernon, N. Y" and at Bridgeport, At the former place fire held up train operations while at Bridgeport Q man was killed as the train came into the station. Passengers who took the train at Bridgeport and who saw the nan, said that he appeared to de- liDeratcly walk to the track and prostrate himself laying his neck on the rail with the train not many yards away. The engineer whistled and set the train brakes. The dis tance was short and the engine and two cars passed over the man, his body being eXtricated from under the second car.
 large delegation came from New Haven on the train to attend com. mittee hearings this afternoon many Of which were of increasin: importance. The New Haven Water company's bill under which is sought the right to impound flowage ot streams in Madison and Guilfort was one of the bills heard, and in. terested spectators were New Havor men who have controlling interests in the Guilford- Chester Water Co which is an adjoining water shed.
