has been cleared of the charge that he exceeded the legal limit for primary election expenditure. The country is watching the Maine election because of the possibility seen that the normal Republican majority of 25,000 in the State will be overturned. If Maine should send a Democrat to the Senate, the insecure Republican majority there during the Seventy-eighth Congress would be weakened still further. CANADIAN RAILMEN PROPOSE A "PEACEFUL WITHDRAWAL" MONTREAL, Sunday—The steps towards a decision to strike by the representatives of the workers on the Canadian National Railway have reached no further than to bring the members to a new definition of a strike. They call it “peaceful withdrawal.” No date for the withdrawal of labor has yet been fixed. It is possible that action will be delayed until the wage scales of men in similar positions in the United States has been determined. GAS IN WARFARE American Expert Does Not Fear Future. WASHINGTON, Sunday.—The prospect that gases capable of annihilating the entire population of cities may be used in any future wars does not find much encouragement in the annual report issued by General Fries, Chief of the United States Chemical Warfare Service. He says: “The effectiveness of poison gas is due more to the large number of temporary casualties produced than to the relatively small number of actual fatalities. “The chemicals employed during the World War were probably about as effective for the production of the casualties as any that may be discovered in the future.” Lights Are Bright But Coals Dear For Londoners (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Sunday.—The Lights of London are blazing once more. The West End has resumed its old familiar appearance; it has cast off the slough of despondency that made it resemble the gloomy quarters of a Cathedral city. This is the sign that the miners are returning to work on district agreements. With the men returning in this manner, Commandant Cook finds that he has nothing to do. Consequently, he is leaving the scenes of his defeats for the Russian Trades Union Congress in Moscow. Most of the district agreements are

This is the sign that the miners are returning to work on district agreements. With the men returning in this manner, Commandant Cook finds that he has nothing to do. Consequently, he is leaving the scenes of his defeats for the Russian Trades Union Congress in Moscow. Most of the district agreements are agreements for a long term. Nearly all include the eight-hour day. A feature of many is a six-hour working day on Saturday. With peace in the coalfields, the Londoner may now turn his attention to getting his own coal cheap from the middle-man. The prices charged in many of the cities of England leaves a margin a great deal too broad between the price at pithead and the price at the home door. The reduction of one penny a hundredweight to be made tomorrow by the London merchants is regarded by the public as something between a joke and an insult. The Mayor of Southwark has spoken very forcibly on the subject. There is no doubt that any attempt at profiteering on the part of the carriers and dealers in coal will be faced with strong opposition. In Lancashire yesterday coal was being sold in the streets at 2s. 3d. a hundredweight. In London, the price is to be reduced from 4s. to 3s. 11d. a hundredweight. The figures speak for themselves. SOUTHAMPTON DOCKS Dredging Scheme Approved to Improve the Channel. LONDON, Sunday. — The Southhampton Harbor Board scheme of dredging many thousands of yards of channel to the sea.

SUICIDE IN CAPE TOWN LEAVES CURIOUS LETTER CAPE TOWN, Sunday.—At an inquest on a German businessman named Karl Zoeller, a verdict of suicide while of unsound mind was returned. Zoeller, who was found dead in his office, left a letter in which he asked the press that the report of his death should not be wirelessed abroad telling the coroner the form his verdict should take, and suggesting that a lecturer on anatomy should examine his brain to see if an operation on his thyroid gland had caused mental failing.

MINESWEEPER RESCUED HONOLULU—The U.S.S. Pittsburgh has arrived here from San Diego, towing the crippled New Zealand minesweeper Wakakura. The Pittsburgh found the minesweeper, whose engine was out of order, in mid-ocean, and towed her 1,048 miles in five and a half days. (Paris Times Spécial) BERLIN, Sunday.—In pursuit of their scheme to obtain all available evidence that may damage Nationalist hopes of moulding the Reichswell into an anti-Republican weapon, the Left parties, urged on by the Socialists, are publishing fresh reports, apparently based on substantial information, that lessen Gessler's (the Reichswehr Minister) position. Following upon the sensational exposures by Herr Mahran relative to “Black Reichswehr” activities in the Rhineland, similar accusations are now being made regarding military administration in Silesia. Recruiting Bureaus Found. These charges are made in Breslau and Gorlitz. Forty branch societies, it is alleged, exist in these cities. They are directed either by officers detached from the Reichswell or by former officers in the Imperial Army who maintain active relations with the Reichswehr.

Recruiting Bureaus Found. These charges are made in Breslau and Gorlitz. Forty branch societies, it is alleged, exist in these cities. They are directed either by officers detached from the Reichswell or by former officers in the Imperial Army who maintain active relations with the Reichswehr. The duties of these officers, say the Left groups, is to assure recruiting for the legal Reichswell by means of effectives drawn from secret military organisations, and also to guarantee military instruction for the latter. The charge is made that this instruction takes place on drill grounds belonging to the Reichswehr, under the guise of athletic training. Similar bureaus, alleges the Socialists, are to be found in several cities in Hesse-Nassau and in Thuringia. The charges go so far as to mention names of officers and to assert that documents have been obtained establishing the accusation beyond all contradiction. Because of these statements, the public is impressed and sentiment in favor of republicanization of the Reichswehr is increasing on every side. Thieves Have Attempted to Enter the Reichswehr Ministry. This fact has been seized upon by the Nationalists as an indication of the underhanded methods which can be used to obtain evidence. It is assumed in the Right camps that the only object of the attempted robbery, which was foiled by the intervention of the police, although the intruders escaped, was to acquire possession of papers that might incriminate Reichswehr officials.

(Paris Times Radio) SOMERVILLE, New Jersey, Sunday.—Encouraged by the success of her testimony yesterday, Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall will go on the witness stand here tomorrow morning for final cross-examination by the now almost desperate Special Prosecutor, Senator Alexander Simpson. The lawyers will then have their day, and probably on Tuesday afternoon the jury will be asked to decide whether or not Mrs. Hall, her brothers, and her cousin are guilty of killing her husband and the leader of his choir. Freedom Predicted. Among those who have followed the case in all its details from the start, odds have been increased in favor of acquittal by Mrs. Hall's testimony. The belief is general that the case carefully built up by the Special Prosecutor and his staff has been destroyed by the good impressions made by the accused. Even "Simple Willie" Stevens was able to hold his own against a stiff cross-examination. Mrs. Hall spoke quietly of her married life. She became accustomed to having her husband away from home because he was constantly calling on sick parishioners or working in his study at night. She denied reports that she and her husband had not been friendly for a long time prior to the murder. Mrs. Hall declared that she never suspected the clandestine relations now assumed to have existed between the dead people; she was never told of them by others. Telephone Calls. Happenings in

Mrs. Hall declared that she never suspected the clandestine relations now assumed to have existed between the dead people; she was never told of them by others. Telephone Calls. Happenings in the Hall home on the night of the murder were described. Mrs. Mills called on the telephone and asked Mrs. Hall about the money to pay a hospital bill, which Dr. Hall answered. He took his hat and said he was going to arrange about the bill. Mrs. Hall never saw him again. Efforts of the Special Prosecutor to force her to admit being at the Phillips farm on the night of the murder were vain. He used a harsh, loud voice in an effort to break down the calm with which Mrs. Hall has faced her prosecution throughout. It was useless. She answered all questions promptly, but she never wavered from her original story. NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE FOR REICH BIG COALITION BERLIN, Sunday. — Negotiations between political parties to reorganize the Great Coalition Government are continuing. Further progress is reported. Nevertheless, many obstacles remain to be overcome. If the Great Coalition results it appears certain that several Ministers will resign office, including Herr Gessler, the Reichswehr Minister.

PERNICIOUS ART German Bill for Protection of Adolescence. BERLIN. Sunday.—The Reichstag is discussing a Bill to safeguard the youth of the country against Schmutz and Schund publications. The idea of legislating on this matter has been before the country for several years and it has aroused heated controversy. Schmutz means filth, and Schund is trash or rubbish. It is noteworthy that the promoters of the Bill admit that they are unable to define what is Schmutz and Schund in art and literature. The Bill proposes that a list should be made of publications that would detrimentally affect the morals of adolescence and that when this list has been made public very severe penalties shall be inflicted on persons who offer for sale anything included in it. The Government categorically opposes the present Bill, but it is believed that it will be altered and finally approved. DOHENY EVIDENCE MAY BE ADMITTED WASHINGTON, Sunday. After hearing arguments by Counsel for the Government and for the defense, Justice Hoelling has reserved decision in the District of Columbia Supreme Court as to whether the testimony of Mr. Edward L. Doheny before the Congressional Investigating Committee can be admitted in the present trial of Mr. Doheny and Mr. Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, on charges of conspiring to defraud the Government in the Elk Hills oil lease. The many technical difficulties that have been encountered

Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, on charges of conspiring to defraud the Government in the Elk Hills oil lease. The many technical difficulties that have been encountered in the trial and the necessity of protecting the jury from outside influence has caused the judge to place the jurors in custody until the trial is ended. There is little likelihood that the hearing will be over before two months, which means that the jurors will be virtual prisoners over the holidays. The defendants, on the other hand, will be allowed full freedom. During the hearing yesterday letters were introduced to show that the accused had plotted to victimize President Harding and the former Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Denby. A subpoena was issued to bring into court State documents relating to the Japanese war scare of 1921. The Secretary of the Navy is expected to refuse. POLISH-GERMAN TALKS CEASE WARSAW, Sunday.—Negotiations between Poland and Germany in connection with the projected commercial treaty have been adjourned indefinitely. WESTPHALIAN SYNDICATE WOULD HEAT GERMANY COLOGNE, Sunday. — A gigantic scheme for supplying the whole of Germany with light and heat from the Ruhr has received the support of 63 percent of the members of the Rhenish Westphalian Coal Syndicate. The scheme consists of constructing a huge pipe system between Hamborn and Hamm, thus running from West to East across the Ruhr,

The scheme consists of constructing a huge pipe system between Hamborn and Hamm, thus running from West to East across the Ruhr, in order to collect gas from the intervening cokers. This system will be connected with practically every German town. CAIRO DIPLOMATS ARE PROVED WRONG CAIRO, Sunday.—Diplomats here have discovered that their complaint against being forced to leave the railway station by a side-door was ill-founded. The complaint arose when the Diplomatic Corps, observed by the British High Commissioner, Lord Lloyd, accompany King Fuad when he returned from Alexandria, through the royal doors leading from the station, and were themselves not permitted to follow. This doorway, it has been explained, is reserved for the King and the British High Commissioner. WAGE INCREASE REFUSED PRAGUE.—The demand of Czechoslovak miners for a 20 percent increase in wages has been refused by the owners on the ground that the terms of settlement of the dispute in Great Britain will lead to a fall in coal prices in the world markets, which will react adversely on coal exports from Czechoslovakia.

In the Democratic States, why should not the test of a beautiful gown, therefore, be its intrinsic beauty even when worn by a model of the common-figured variety? Making the mannequin an abstract figure rather than a 1926 model of Praxiteles’ Venus has the added advantage of making more satisfied customers. Sometimes a creation which epitomizes
