Acceptance of $40 900. 900 shipment
of Russian gold by the United States
in 1922 was investigated today as an
aftermath Of the recent action of
Secretary Mellon in rejecting S.
600 900 consignment of Soviet bullion
sent to the Chase National Bank and
Equitable Trust Company of New
York.
The 1922 consignment was ac-
cepted here by the American relief
administration. to be used solely for
use in Russian famine relief.
Secretary OF Commerce Hoover,
who was then head of the relief adj
ministration, fought vigorously for
acceptance of the shipment on
Humanitarian grounds. Secretary
Mellon and Charles K. Hughes, then
Secretary of State, demurred. but
consented to entry of the gold when
Russian relief officials guaranteed
the bullion had been in the Russian
. treasury since 1914.

probably fatally wounded. and a

SHOWN IN
COURT

RICHMOND, Va, March 90.
Following deliberations during
the early hours, the jury that
heard evidence in the second
trial of John Wesley Faia0Ts

age Country Club here, charged
with Staying his ''love-nesto
sweetheart, Elsie Holt Snipa

brought into court, received
the asked-for information and
again retired.
The case went to the jury last
night at $50 o'clock. after defense
attorneys had pleaded brilliantly
for an acquittal. WrangIing at once
set in, lasting for an hour and thirty
five minutes, at the end of which
time, the jury was locked up for
the night under instructions by
Judge Ernest H. Wells.
Faison is charged with shooting
Mrs. Snipes to death in their love
nest" apartment on Hanover Ave"
rue on the early morning OF No
vember 16 last. The defense has
contended that Mrs. Snipes shot
herself because of the fact that Fai-
son told her he couldn't. continue
their clandestine relations.
The first trial last December re-
suited in a hung jury.
Battle Imposing
Suicide or homicide? Did Mrs.
Snipes come to a violent death as the
result of self-inflicted wound or
was she fatally shot through the
right forehead by a revolver In the
hand of Faison? On this point law
yers centered the battle of a week

Two Presidents Of the
United States, Cabinet officers,
past and present, and several
presidential candidates werA
drawn inlV the vortex of the
Teapot 0ne case today as Y
result of the Senate $ inquiry
into the financial aid given.
the Republican party by Harry
II. Sinclair.
Democratic spokesman announced
they would not allow the American
people to forget that Sinclair cor
rupted" Republican administrator
to secure Teapot Dome ana tnen
contributed huge sums to that party
when his alleged corruption was
threatened with exposure. Inc re
puhIicans were ready to fight back
by seeking to link prominent Deilo'
crast with the same oil interests.
Involves Coolidge
The case. with its wide rami1lca-
lions, today involved:
1. President Coolidge. who was
twice charged in the Senate with
being the "chief beneficiary" or Sim
cIair's donations to the Republican
marty because this money cleaned
up all debts prior to his 1924 cam
paign."
2. President Harding. whose es-
tate records will be searched by the
Senate Teapot Dome committee for
trace of the Sinclair Liberty Bonds.
3. Gov. AL Smith. who was
charged with. accepting contribu.
tions from Harry F.. Sinclair In
1920 and with naming him state
racing commissioner afterwards.
q. Andrew w. Mellon, Herbert
Hoover and Charles E. Hughes. all
mentioned as Republican Pres1den-
tial possibilities. who were attacked
for remaining silent about the Tea
Dot Dome scandal after having
served in the Cabinet which leased
the oil reserve to Sinclair.
The Democrats also are accused OF
accepting q large contribution re-
Gently from Thomas Fortune Ryan,
the New York capitalist. Senator
Robinson (R) of Indiana demanded
that Smith be, subpoenaed as a wit
ness in the Teapot Dome case, while
Senator Nye (R.) Of North Dakota
pointed out that the Democrats at
the 1912 convention adopted reso-
luton overwhelmingly declaring
they would never select nominee
that had the support of Ryan, j..
Pierpont Morgan or any other per
son in the 'privilege-wanting or
favor seeking class.
There seemed little likelihood that
the Senate committee would call
Smith as witness. There appeared
a greater probability that Smith
would demand a hearing. Whether
or not he is subpoenaed, his connec-
tons with SINCLAIR will be aired
thoroughly in the Senate within the
next few days.
The attacks on the silence of
President Coolidge, Mellon, Hughes
and Herbert Hoover. came from both
Republican insurgents and the DEM

Last week 10 women and one man

Shorter Coat Gains Popularity
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Something has really happened in
the development of fashion. Something
really important. at least from the point
Of view of the fashion reporter. For
the past four or five seasons there have
been fads and novelties, but few real
changes. We have had TO content our
selves with new materials or the re-
vival Of old ones, change Of taste in
colors-flrSt a run on this and then
every one wearing something else, or
new way of wearing the corSage
fower-little things like that.
And now the prophesy that some
thing new would really happen this
Spring has been fulfilled, and the new
era is most strikingly marked by the
shortening of the coat. There are still
long coats, but / venture to predict that
by next Autumn we will all be taking
our last years evening wraps and fur
coats TO the dressmakers and furriers
to have them Topped off. The new sill
houette is achieved by the new short
coat.
The short coat is itself an outcome
OF the uneven or haring hem line. With
skirt that wavers from knees to in
steps the accepted coat length was not
ESPECIALLY dItLd TfO Ollc NdIhEQ tO
wear wraps that we're long enough to
hide all the trailing clouds of glory
from one of these uneven frocks, so
the only thing to do was to make coats
that were short enough to leave the
whole lower portion of the skirt ex-
posed. And there you are. The shorter
coat was taken on as matter OF ex-
pedience and Immediately assumed
fashion importance on its own ac-
count-produced, in fact, new sill
houette that right away caught fire.
As little personal gift for the June
bride can think of nothing nicer than
half dozen of the new, very large
chiffon handkerchiefs which women are
wearing-rather carrying-with light
afternoon and evening gowns. A half
yard of chiffon makes two of these
handkerchiefs, and they are finished
with fine lace. simple line of hem
