FiiiSiir DELAYS GR FANS "AN is a curious animal, and no quadrumane in the zoo takes himself more seri ously. In Detroit men on a jury, smoking in a jury room, were horrified when a jury woman lit a cigarette.

The gentlemen jurors protested against such unladylike conduct. "Man, proud man dressed in a little brief authority, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep." They used to make the women weep also, now women only laugh. Man's crown of domination is gone, although he doesn't know it. Nevertheless, women that smoke are foolish in ten separate ways, i Paris hatmakers and hairdressers have scored two complete failures. Thu hatmakers wanted women to wear big lists.

They refused and cling to the little bell-shaped contrivances. Hairdresser's tried to persuade bobbed ladies to go back to wigs while waiting to grow That failed. You may see women imitating men and wearing substantially the same sort of clothes for months at a time. Labor socialism made enormous gains everywhere in the British election of borough councillors. This interests and frightens conservatism, first because it may mean another Labor ministry, and second because Labor councillors, whenever they are in power, increase taxes, taking from those that have to hand something to 11-- that have not, or that think they haven't enough.

Religious organizations having protested, the War Department nays there must be no "afr circus" by army fliers on. Sunday. Fliers looping the loop," turning over tideways, flying on the edge of jtn wing, make up an "air circus." This, say the clergymen, Is irreligious. If they say so, it is so. But many will think that such an air wing might stimulate faith in Biblical teachings, concerning angels, archangels, etc.

If mere man in a flying machine just invented can loop thR loop three times in succession, what can the augels not do, after flying for endless millions of years? And as for the speed of flying angels, such as were formerly sent from heaven to earth with messages, it is inconceivable, since it must exceed the speed of light, 186,000 miles a second. Heaven could not be nearer than the nearest fixed star, which is billions of miles Think of that for speed. The Anti-Saloon League holds an "enforcement crisis" convention. It has been a' long crisis, beginning with the work of prohibition. Bishop Nicholson of Detroit, president of the league, suggests that the United State3 Army should be used in the prohibition fight.

The navy Is used now, airplanes are used. To add the army would seem natural. But CAN you sufferers bootleg whisky? The Rt. Rev. Benjamin I.

STATE PLANS REBUTTAL Prosecution Arranging to Introduce Testimony to Uphold Life of Girl. HV HORACE M. COATS, Staff Correspondent of The Star. NOBLKSVILLE, Nov. 8.

Attorneys for state find defense in the trial In Hamilton Circuit court here of D. C. Stephenson, Earl Klinck and Karl Gentry, charged with the murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis, tonight were prepared to open the fifth and what Is believed will be the final week of the case. With the case in the hands of the defense for the introduction of evidence which counsel hopes will loosen the chains of evidence about the defendants up to Wednesday last week, Indications were that the close of submission of evidence will be reached by Friday or Saturday at the latest. IOph Inman, chief of the defense counsel, said that probably two or three days will be required to complete the defense case.

Following that the state will bring in a number of witnesses in rebuttal. Fphold Private Life. The state is planning, it Is understood, to introduce testimony to uphold the private life of Miss Oberholtzer, which Is being placed before the Jury by the defense testimony to prove that she was a willing member of the party which made the alleged trip to Hammond (Ind.) the night of March 15, which was followed by the swallowing of poison and her death. After completing evidence, closing arguments to the jury will bo heard, followed by the court's instructions to tin: jury and the Jurymen then will retire to deliberate on their verdict. It Is expected that almost two days will be required for closing arguments.

A mass of evidence has been Introduced thus far In the ten days of the actual trial of the trio of defendants. After thirteen days were spent in efforts to Impanel a Jury, the state introduced testimony from twenty-five witnesses to. make Its ease and to prove that infection from wounds Inflicted rm the body of Miss Oberholtzer during the time she was in the custody of Stephenson and Gentry, resulted in her death, despite the con-tenfion of the defense tfiat she died ns the result of the swallowing of six bichloride of mercury tablets. Charge Aid IVib Refused. The state introduced testimony to show that the girl was taken to the Stephenson home on the night of March 1.1, was transported to the I'nlon station in an automobile; placed aboard a Pullman car, where she was attacked: taken Into a hotel at Hammond, where she later swallowed the poison.

The state contends the defendants refused to obtain medical aid for her at the hotel and during the automobile trip on the return to Indianapolis, and that she was held prisoner In the Stephenson garage overnight before being returned to her home by Earl Klinck the morning of March 17. In Its evidence the state has introduced medical witnesses to refute the CONTIXVF.il OX PAGE THHKE. WOUNDED PUGILIST, COMPANION HELD IN MYSTERY SHOOTING Arrested After Appearing at Hospital for Treat' ment Stories Differ.

Wray at first said he was held up by two negroes and one of them shot Smith and Wray finally gave the police, another version' of the shooting, which was to the effect that they left a restaurant at Blackford and Wash- I Ington streets and a negro stopped them and asKeu ujat they buy him a drink of white mule whisky. When they refused the negro became abusive and In a tight which followed Wray knocked the negro down. They said a shot then was fired and they were not certain whether the negro used the revolver or whether it was some one In the crowd. Wray's neck was powder burned as was his shirt collar, which showed the pistol was against him when discharged. Wray was not seriously wounded and was taken from the hospital to police headquarters.
