PLAIN CLOTHES
 TOBEPURCHASED

New York, July 7.-(UP)-Federal officials today rejected tuxedos and racy, checked overcoats which were among the 5000 sample garments sent in by manufacturers bidding for some of the business from the $10,000,000 appropriation to buy clothes for the needy. Bids from l. 300 manufacturers throughout the country were being tabulated in the state offices of the treasury pro- curement division, and it took the officials just one minute to decide that no part of the money would go for evening clothes.
 A brilliant green tweed topcoat and many others almost as gaudy, also were rejected by Carrineton Gill, assistant WPA administrator in charge. Neither, he said, was the government interested in suits with two pairs of trousers. The idea he said, was to make the money clothe as many persons as possible and one-pants suits were cheaper.

First Michigan Execution h 1O8 Years Came Today

Milan, Mich., July 8.-CUP).- Tony Chebratoris, 38, died on the galloWs at Milan prison farm at dawn today, the first man execut- ed in Michigan in 108 years.
 The small, arrogant criminal who had spent more than half his life in prison, murdered a bystander during bank hold-up at Midland, Mich, last September.
 Chebatoris, who desecrated holy pictures on the walls of his cell and insulted nuns who tried to give him spiritual solace, mounted the gallows between two guards and died with out comment. In 1880 Stephen sim mons was hanged publicly in De- troit for murder. There had been no executions between.
 The execution was decreed by fed- eral law. Federal authorities enter ed the case because the Chemical State Savings bank which Cheba- toris and a companion attempted to rob was depository for federal funds.
 The. execution drew nationwide attention because of Gov. Frank Murphy's 11th hour appeal to Presi- dent Roosevelt to preserve Michi- gan's tradition and remove the hanging to another state. Judge Arthur Futile. who sentenced Che batoris, blocked the last effort to

JAMES J. HINES
 WILL GO ON TRIAL

New York, July 8.-(UP).-James J. Hines, ranking district leader of Tammany hall and former dispenser of federal patronage in this area, will go on trial probably within a month on 8 charge of conspiring with the late Dutch Shultz and his mob to operate a $l00000, ,0OO- year policy racket, District Attorney Thomas E. D. Dewey said today.
 Dewey won preliminary skirmish yesterday when Supreme Court Justice Ferdiand Pecora denied three motions by Hines. who wanted a separate trial, change of venue, and suppression of the indictment.
 AS result of Pecora's rulings, Hines and his co-defendants, J. Richard Davis and Martin Wein- traub, both lawyers for the Schultz gang, will be rearraigned next Mon. day and if they plead not guilty as they did previously. Dewey will begin at once to impanel a nlue-rib- bon jury for thei rtrial.

cation as b when that decision will be filed.
 Ali the defense motions were dee nied yesterday with the exception of that filed by Attorney Patrick Healey for Police and Fire Commits sioner Henry w.. Minor. In this instance, Judge 1nglis ordered MT. Alcorn to file c more specific state ment as to how Minor was affili- ated with the alleged conspiracy.
 Except in the case of Henry Minor," says Judge Inglis in rul- ing on the motions for more speci- fic statement, "the interest of jus- tice would not be promoted by or- dering the state to comply with the requests for more specific state ment, and in the discretion of the court, such order should not be entered"
 In contrast to the lengthy mo- tions filed and argued by the de- fense counsel, Judge Inglis' de- cisions were brief, and tersely worded. All the defense motions were considered as one by Judge Inglis in his three decisions.
 Any demurrers which the defense counsel intend to file to the infor- nation as 1t now stands must be filed on or before Tuesday, July 12 and will be argued before the court at 10 o'clock Friday, July 18th.
 Few More Perhaps
 Counsel for the defense indicated on Tuesday that very few, if any, demurrers would be filed. If such is the case the defendants are now presumably ready for arraignment in court for the purpose of plead- ing to the charges. Special Prose- cutor Alcorn has indicated that he desires the accused to be put to plea before August 1, although he does not anticipate the start of trials before September.
 The decisions were additional clean sweeps for MT. Alcorn and the grand jury procedure invoked to date. Previous decisions by Judge

DEBUTANTES HAD
 CHANGE DRESS

London, July 8-(UP)-The fourth and final royal court of the sum- mer season was held at Bucking- ham Palace last night and courtiers were relieved that the batch of debutantes appeared in decent" at- tire. The debutantes had spent the hours preceding the court beseiging dressmakers for "covering-up ma terials" to hide ultra-low necklines and thus avoid the disapproval of court circles. Many of them wore scarfs draped around their necks and shoulders, others toned down their daring" gowns with a judi cious use of clasps.
 The last minute alterations made the gowns conform to the rigid tra- ditions of court and 1t was under stood that an announcement con- corning sensational dress innova- tions which had been contemplated because of the daring gowns worn at the first courts, would not be made.

Inslis have upheld the appointment of Alcorn and the methods of in- vestigation employed by the jury.
 Continuing with his order for more specific statement in the charge against Commissioner Minor, Judge Inglis says, "As regards Henry Minor the situation is somewhat dif- ferent. All of the others are charged with certain overt acts. That charge of overt acts indicates how each of them was connected with the conspiracy. It is not alleged that Henry Minor participated in any specific overt act done in the pursu- ance of the conspiracy. The only charge against him is the general one that he conspired with the rest to defraud the City of Waterbury by unlawful means. It would seem that justice would be promoted if he were informed as to what part

 yt is also possible that at the next Friday session which hes been scheduled by Judge Inslis, the quo wayfAntO proceedings of Alderman Kelly attacking the appointment of Ale0kn As prosecutor will be given further consideration. Attorney 1laGearty said today that his part mer and MT. Alcorn were attempting 70 reach an agreement on . Stipula- Non of facts to be submitted to she court, thereby eliminating the necessity of calling witnesses. At- scrney McDonough Is vacationing at Cape Cod and is not expected to re. turn until next Wednesday.
 There Is little indication that any appeals in the decisions to date will foreStall the local proceedings. An appeal in the quo warranto will not delay the trial, and it will be neces- sAry for Judge 1nglis to give ex- press permission for an appeal in any of his other motion decisions, as an appeal can only be taken from . final decision unless that permis- kion is granted.
 Decisions by Judge Inglis yes- terday afternoon on the motions to quash, motions to strike out por- tions of the information, and for more specific statements, were all in favor of Special Prosecutor Al- corn and the grand jury. AS in his first decisions, Judge Inglis sus- tAins all the actions of MT. Alcorn and the jury in the investigation to date.

stern, to restore and maintain law and order.
 As the result, British authorities were expected to take action of the flrmest sort.
 Curfew Extended
 The curfew was extended to start at D. m. here as well as at Haifa, instead of g p. m. as previously, and an order imposing martial law was expected at any hour.
 An announcement was awaited from London that two battalions of British troops, numbering 4,000 men, had left Egypt to reinforce the 5000 British troops already in Palestine.
 Troops here and at Haifa had been on continuous duty for more than 24 hours because tempers were so high that Arab policemen could not serve in Jewish areas nor Jewish policemen in Arab ones.
 Moslem and Christian leaders of the Arab community, in conference with the British commander -in- chief, asked htat he adopt the same stern measures against Jewish ex- tremists as he had done in previous months against Arab rioters.
 Troops From Egypt
 London, July 8-CUP)-Two rifle battalions have been ordered to Pal estine from Egypt "at the earliest possible date" Malcolm Macdonald, colonial secretary, said today in the house of commons.
 Macdonald made his statement in answer to question by Maj. Clen- ent Attlee, labor party leader.
 He said that 1t was expected that the battalions would remain in Pal estine until the arrival there of a brigade already ordered to take up its station later this year.
 "As the house Is aware" MacDon- aid said, "there has been an espe- cially serious outbreak of violence at Haifa during the last few days and there have been 8 number of inci- dents at other centers in Palestine.
 Tn order to assist authorities in dealing with the situation, his maj- esty's ship Emerald had been di- verted from her homeward course and sent to Haifa, where she arrived yesterday evening. She will be re- lieved today by his majesty's ship Repulse."
 Ending his statement, Macdonald said:
 Tn a telegram I have received from the high commissioner (Sir Harold MacMichaeD he reports that the situation at Haifa last night was quiet but tense."
 Await Orders
 Cairo, Egypt, July 8-(UP)-The first battalion of the Irish Guards and the first battalion of the Essex regiment were ordered to stand by today for orders to go to Palestine.

be hired as "consultants and assist ants" to study the city's financial requirements for use in preparing the 1889 budget and in making whatever additional economies are possible this year. This vote was passed later in the afternoon by the board of finance.
 The $6,000 is to be transferred from an item set up in the con- troller's budget for payment of in- terest on funded debt.
 President Patrick Perriello and Alderman Thomas P. Kelly said they foresaw no objection by the board of aldermen. and said they would support the recommended transfer of funds and the hiring of Griffenhagen & Associates.
 The Griffenhagen specialists will have their headquarters in the al- dermanic chamber, that room being set aside for their use. MT. Grif- fenhagen revised his original cost estimate of $3,000 8 month, saying that many of his specialists were engaged in other important work. He suggested lesser workers and cost of 5000 monthly. This change was accepted.

the allegation that the purpose of the conspiracy was to defraud not only the City of Waterbury but also the residents and taxpayers thereof. That allegation does not seem to be unduly prejudicial and, in any event, it is warranted because in the last analysis, if the city is damaged by the loss of money that loss falls back on the residents and taxpay- CTS of the city, says Judge Inglis in his closing paragraphs.

A Worthy Movement

The Saint Paul Association of Com
merce is sponsoring a drive to clean
up the telephone, telegraph and high
line poles from the unsightly cam
paign placards and other signs and
asks that citizens throughout the state
cooperate in making the scenery more
beautiful along the highways. The
movement is worthy of everyone's
support.
The sooner public sentiment is
turned against the practice of tack
ing signs on poles along the roadside
and thus marring the beauty of the
countryside, the sooner the practice
will be discontinued. Not only is
the practice bad from scenic point
of view, but it is likewise dangerous
to linemen who must climb the poles.
The tacks which remain in the poles
are hazards.
1t must also be remembered that
poles of the type mentioned are pri-
vate property and therefore the tack
ing of advertising thereon is illegal.

Do You Pay Taxes?

The answer to that question is
Eyes" to all of us, if we have an
income and if we do any buying
According to a survey of indirect
taxes made by large insurance COM
pany it is seen that the person who
thinks he pays no taxes is blissfully
misinformed.
Out of a $500 annual income an
$50 a month worker receives, he pays
S1O.29 a month, or S123.48 year in
indirect taxes that have to be added
to the cost of necessities he buys, such
as food, rent, clothing, fuel, light,
recreation, insurance and dozens OF
other things-about Is percent of his
income in this case.
You are therefore kidding" only
yourself when you laugh about taxes
The less you earn, the harder they
hit you from the indirect angle, for
they increase the cost of every neces-
sity of life you buy. That is just
another reason why we have opposed
the application of a sales tax; it will
Just make for another hidden tax.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving day this year again
finds the world with varied problems
and of course as long as there is
human existence there will be prob
lens. The human race has known
them ever since time began and il
always will. Our lot is no different
yea, it is better than that of our
Pilgrim fathers back in 1921 when
they offered their thanks for deliv-
erance through the first year of ex-
istence on the rough and dangerous
shores of what is now Massachusetts,
Theirs was a worse plight, for their
lives were constantly in danger and
their numbers had been depleted by
a multitude of privations and illness
but they found time and cause for
expression of thankfulneSS. Now
surely we can.
We are blessed in many ways. We
are at peace with the world. We
have freedom of thought and speech
so that we can solve our difficulties
in many cases before they arise
While there is much privation in GER
tain sections of our nation, we still
have the highest standard of living
of any people.
We should, for all of these bless
ings, then return to the worship OF
God who makes this situation pos
sible Make this Thanksgiving OF
1888 more than just period of feast
ing; make it a period of true thank
fulneSS

NEWS BEARERS
(The Minneapolis Journal)

(The Minneapolis Journal)
Should a Governor have on his
official staff a Bearer of Bad News?
The idea is passed along by the
Brainerd Tribune, which says:
Some one has suggested that
Governor-elect Stassen should
have among his advisers one or
two men whose business is to
bring him nothing but the bad
news. They should comb his con-
stituency for words of condem-
nation, criticisms of his policies,
denunciations of his acts, two and
three-syllable indictments of his
character; and dump the whole
collection on his desk immedi-
ately after breakfast each day,
and by these criticisms he might
be able to steer the ship of state
to a safe landing.
There is something in the sugges-
ton. Too often it happens that a
busy official is surrounded by help
ers who sift out the news and give
him only what they want him to hear
Those who call on him are prone to
tell him only what he likes to hear
and so he gets distorted idea of what
the public really thinks and feels.
Initiation of the ego is likely to
be the consequence. A certain amount
of deflation, in such cases, is salutary
But not too much. The official, be
he Governor, Mayor or what-not
must be able to weigh the bad with
the good. If he gives undue heed to
every objection that comes along, he
will be reduced to doing nothing al
all. So let's be sure that our public
men get it all, the good with the bad
and the bad with the good.

Again The Christmas Seal

The season is again at hand when
we are called upon to take part in
a worthy movement; that of eradi-
eating tuberculosis as a scourge Of
the human race. Our part can be
small in cost to us but what sup
port we give when added to that of
others means that thousands more
of lives will be saved from the deadly
disease. How can we help? Ger
tainly after all these THANKSGIVING
that question is futile. Everyone
knows what the Christmas Seal is,
but lest we forget its purpose, it is
well that our memory be refreshed.
On Thanksgiving day each year the
little Seal is placed on sale stimuli
taneously throughout the nation and
the money derived therefrom goes for
