HERE'S FASHIONS EDlCT
 IN W0MEN'S MILLINERY
Latest Tendency Is Toward tle straw Hat More Fancifully
 Trimmed.

Chicago, Feb. 1 P)-A tendency towards straw hats, more fancifully trimmed than the severe felt cloche of recent popularity, is announced by leaders of the allied millinery in dustrics of Chicago in their national style show opening today,
 All the hats are built for bobbed hair, Though both large piceurt hats and small turbans will be worn, they arc all made to fit the small bobbed head.
 One of those displayed will show the evolution of the present day hat from the chaplot of leaves popularly ascribed to Eve in the Garden of Eden, featuring particularly the ere ations of 1886, 1866, 1896 and then 1926.
 Leading manufacturers offer these opinions on the seasons modes:
 While the felt hat continues 10 be the popular item of the moment as the season advances the tendency will be toward hats Of silk and belt ing ribbons and body straws, The tendency for the coming season IS for more trimming on hats.
 The crayon coorings are most prominent, such as Marie Antoinette, q soft rose: Maintenon, a soft sal mon rose; chevreuse. ashes of rose; golden wheat; oak buff, Italian blue; chantilly green: phantom red; water melon.
 Rhinestone or mother Of pearl or namcnts, or better yet. a pair of long crystal pins, are the correct trims,
 Among spring straws. body hats have almost completely superseded those sewed on narrow braids, Rankoks, soft perle, fancy hemps and pastel colored leghorns will be much in verne

Tragedy Mars
Wedding Feast
by United Press Leased Wire

COLUSA, Cal, Dec. 81. - Peter
Scardino was arrested here early to-
day on charges Of killing Angelo Flu
scra as the grim climax Of gay
Christmas wedding party last night.
The party was held at the home of
Frank Fariola, and Fusers and his
wife were among the guests. The
wedding was a Catholic service for
Mr.. and Mrs. Fariola following a
civil ceremony.
AS the party was at its height,
Scardino, an unlimited guest, stalk
ed into the room. He walked up to
Fusera.
"Come outside" he said. 81 want
TO talk this over. -
The men stepped outside. An au-
tomato revolver blazed five times.
Guests ran out to find Fusera in n
pool of blood, mortally wounded. He
died before he could explain the
tragedy.
Scardino is believed by poli"c to
have stolen an automobile and to
have attempted flight to Marysville.
He was captured on the outskirts
of Colusa last night by members of
sheriff's posse that had surround
ed the city. Scardino refuses to
give any reason for the killing, but
authorities believe it was the result
of long standing feud between the
two men.

Cross Complaint
Filed In Suit

There was further action IN the
marital differences of DR.. J. c..
Hill and Zola V. Hill of Brawley.
when ATTORNEY G. L. Blown repre-
senting the former, today filed a
cross complaint asking e1r the Gus
today of two minor children and
denying that he is earning a3pro-
Ximately $500 month or any
where near that sum. He further
asserts that his income a. this time
is not in excess of about $500
monthly while he alleges his OK
pcnses consume large share of
the latter sum.
Their differences first came into
court when the doctor flied com
plaint in the local court last June
for divorce, alleging mental cruelty
on the part of the defendant to
the extent that her actions had i'm
paired him in his practice. Mrs.
Hill then filed n cross complaint
for separate maintenance alleging
desertion through John r. Haas
and John p. Home, we'll known Los
Angeles attorneys. and asked for
attorney fees. alimonv and the
disposition of community property.
Pending the hearing of the case,
the court directed the plaintiff to
pay Mrs. Hill $75 monthly. allowed
her 800 for attornev fees and di-
rcctcd that the furniture in the
home be turned over to her for her
use and that of the children.

C0MLSKEY SAYS
C0BB--SPEAKER
MADE MISTAKE
Should Have Asked Hear
ing Before Resigning
from Active Baseball.
BY CLARK B. KELSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. Eff Ty Cobb
and iris Speaker were not guilty Of
"throwingo game in 1919, they
should have asked for a hearing at
the time they were asked to resign,
in the opinion Of Charles y. Comis-
key, owner of the Chicago White
Sox.
Cobb and Speaker, Comiskey feels
made a serious mistake in resigning
from baseball before they
at least made IN effort to dis
prove the charges Of Hubert
Dutch Leonard, which were
made public last week by Commis-
sioner X. NJ. Landis.
Comiskey is owner of the club
which lost the world IS series in 1919
and which was afterwards disrupted
by the admission that six members
of the team had framedo the Sc
ries to allow Cincinnati to win so
that gamblers might profit. All
of the half dozen were banished
from baseball.
.'Cobb and Speaker did not pro
test when they were asked to re-
sign Comiskey said. "They did
as they were asked. and if Speaker,
q man who was managing winning
club, would resign without a protest,
it looks mighty peculiar to me. y
Comiskev, who has been at odds
with Ban johnson, American league
president, for a long time, also took
Johnson and Frank Navin, Detroit
club owner. to task for not making
public the charges against the base
ball stars after they had received
Leonard's accusation.
Judge Lands has no other rea-
son for making public Leonard s
charges than to see that justice is
carried OUT Comiskey said. lie
is man imbucd with the ideal of
justice and under no circumstances
would he have made the charges un-
less he had been convinced that the
men accused were guilty
Comiskev said he did not believe
Cobb and Speaker are sincere in de-
manding hearing at this time say
ing they should have made their
strong stand at the time that the al
legged scandal was called to their at
tention. Had they done so and
been found innocent the whole af-
fair might have been avcrted, he in
timated.
