Nine. Filipowicz stated that this sys-

For many years, due to the exigencies
forced upon them during the war and
after, when perhaps no women in the
world suffered more greatly than those
of Poland, the beautiful needlework Of
her countrywomen became almost lost
art, Nine. Filipowicz said.
1.-THE women were obliged to work
hard to gain their livelihood" she said.
There was no time for embroidery or
weaving, even among the more pros
porous and sheltered. But in recent
years there has been q successful re-
vival to develop the needlework Of
Poland among the peasant women as
well as those Of the educated classes.
The wool weaving, known as 'kilims,
is of q particularly beautiful variety;
the embroidery is usually done with COL
ored cottons on linen and the designs,
which are quite primitive, are made
entirely by the peasant women.
after the war the women were too
poor to even buy the materials for this

HEIRESS TO RECEIVE
TREASURE FATHER HID
5000 Yen and 70 Trunks Full
Of Jewelry Will Be Awarded
London Woman.

TOXIC Especially Five hundred
thousand yen and 70 trunks full of
jewels and antiques were the treasures
for an heiress in a veritable fairy tale,
the first scene of which was enacted at
the old guards quarters near the great
Seidaimon Gate Of ancient Saoul, the
Korean capital.
The next scene probably will be In
some lawyers Office in London, where
the long-lost fortune will be placed
in the hands of Miss Mary Brown Of
that city. Her father, Sir John Mac
Leavy Brown, was customs commits
sioner to the old Korean government.
The treasures were packed, labeled and
hidden in an underground vault in the
old guards quarters when he left Korea
upon Japans annexation Of the pen
insula.
In the course of recent repairs to
the old building, the trunks were found
by japanese officials, who have traced
the tale back to its beginning.
AS Sir John is dead, the 10 trunks
of treasures and the 100000 yen which
has accumulated from interest on the
original 100000 yen deposit made by
him at the Saoul branch Of the Daichi
Ginko will be sent to his daughter.

DANCER WILL TELL
HER ATTACK STORY
Girl to Take Stand Today to
Accuse Pantages in
Courtroom.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LOS ANGELES. october 4.-Eunice
Pringle, 17-year-old dancer, today is to
tell from the witness stand the prin-
cipal story by which the prosecution
hopes to convict Alexander Pantages,
multimillionaire theatrical man, of stat
utory assault.
The young university student with as
pirationS toward dancing fame, was
called by District Attorney Buron
Fits, chief prosecutor, five minutes be-
fore the close of yesterdays session Of
Pantages' trial, but questioning was
postponed.
Mother Backs Prosecution.
The girl was called after her mother,
Mrs. Lou Irene Pringle, a school teach
err, had substantiated many of the
prosecutors contentious. The woman
testified her daughter was little over
II years five months old on August 8,
the day Of the alleged attack in the
theater mans private Office, and de-
scribed the girls condition that night
at police headquarters. Mrs. Pringle
also identified torn clothing as that her
daughter had worn the day she went to
interview Pantages in an effort to obtain
q booking for her dancing act.
While the State piled up its evidence
against the theater man, a woman from
Pantages' past came into the courtroom
Kate Rockwell-who Staked him to q
dance hall in Alaska in 1898 during the
hectic gold rush days. The woman
:. would not discuss her mission at the
trial, but Fits intimated she might be
called to testify against Pantages.
The appearance of Miss Rockwell re-
ton State courts in 1906, in which she
sought an accounting from Pantages,
then just launching the theater career
which was to carry him to the head of
a $15,000,000 chain Of show houses.
Tells Of Stalking Him.
Miss Rockwell testified then that she
owned the dance hall in which Pan
tages worked as a waiter, but staked
to marry her. PantageS denied the
promise Of matrimony, but admitted
the association with the woman. After
the trial, Miss Rockwell went to a
homestead in Bend. Greg, where she
has lived since.
H. E. Hollum, manager Of the theater
firm which bought Pantages' properties
here, late yesterday was sentenced to "a
hours in jail as the result of a con-
tempt judgment following his object:0ls

The court adjourned to the building
to familiarize itself with the details of
the location and arrangement of rooms.
Hollun, stepping from his Office, ac-
costed a juror and Judge Fricke.
In outlining its case to the jury of six
women and six men, the defense de-
clared 1t would prove the charges were
an attempt to frame the wealthy man
preparatory to filing 100000 damage
suit.

Two subjects which are commanding

to Nine. Tytus Filipowicz, wife of the

Is one of the most interesting cities I

Nine. Filipowicz has arrived in this
country with the deepest enthusiasm
for the progress made by the American
people in the facilitation of housework,
by our modern methods Of electrical
cooking, cleaning and laundry work, as
well as the cooperative hotels and
apartments built with the idea of

Affidavit by BieIaski
One Of the affidavits quoted by Mr..
Sinclair in his statement was made on
August %, 1929, by A. Bruce Bielaski,
formerly chief of the Bureau of In
vestigation OF the Department of JUS
tice. Mr.. Bielaski states that during
his service in the department the sur
VIGILANCE of petit jurors by agents of
the Bureau of Investigation in impor-
tant criminal cases was matter of
frequent occurrence. The prac-
tice was never objected to by any Off
Gals of the department on the ground
of propriety or any ethical ground, but
was frequently the subject of contrO-
versy between myself and the United
States attorneys involved, solely be-
cause of the fact that it tied up SO
| many agents. In numerous in
stances sufficient agents were assigned
to keep constant observation on each
member of the jury, and this consti-
| tuted great burden on a small force
OF men. If it should be neces-
sary I think scores of men formerly in
the service could be found to testify as
to their participation in this work"
Another affidavit, dated August q.
1929, Is by Hinton G. Clabaugh, now
chairman of the Illinois pardon and
parole boards, but formerly special
agent OF the Department of Justice.
Mr.. Clabaugh SwearS that while iden-
| tined with the Department of Justice
| on a great number OF cases he not only
| had jurors Swallowed on behalf of the
Federal Government at the request of
the district attorney, but in some in
stances at the specific request of a Fed
eral Judge. This affiant soon be-
came convinced that many of the
| juors knew they were being investi-
gated and Swallowed and that they fire.
Quently took considerable offense at be-
ing Swallowed, and that he frequently
doubted the ACCESSIBILITY and advantage
of such shadow work being done. but
he continued same under the direction
OF the Department of Justice and made
frequent reports to them up to the time
of finally ceasing his connection with
| the Government" ia
