A. B. Thaw' returned to the aviation field here today from New Haven, where he flew to attend the Yale-Harvard game. He made the flight, of 68 miles today In 55 minutes in a biplane. Sergeant Johnson, who alee flew to New Haven, was forced to return to Garden City by auto.

His face was badly frozen at an altitude of 6000 feet on the trip to New Haven. THREE KILLED WHEN TROLLEY HITS AUTO DETROIT, Nov. persons were killed Instantly and three others injured, two probably fatally, late today when an Interurban trolley car struck their automobile near the northern city limits. SCORES WOMEN AT ALLISON TRIAL Coatlnned From First Page as tc the women who sought admission to the court room where the Allison casa was expected to have been tried, may I say a word? "I now offer but a few reasons why decent women should not have sought the court room in this case. The defendant is 22 years old and unmarried.

He is a recent arrival in Boston, without any very evident means of support. An Indlctrient was found by the Suffolk grand Jury in 13 counts, each alleging a specific offence, and all coming under either Sections 16, 20 or 26 of Chapter 212 of the Revised Laws as amended. These statutes represent the existing law of the Commonwealth, which every law-abiding citizen is bound to respect and obey. "The charges were not confined merely to the preaching and publishing of birth control but Included charges against Allison for violating these laws, on the ground that his publications were obscene, indecent and impure, and. manifestly tended to corrupt the morals of youth.

It does not follow that birth control could not be described in other language and with different effect. "In the Superior Court the defendant pleaded guilty to 11 counts, two unimportant counts having been nol pressed by me, and In the counts tc which he pleaded guilty were those counts above described. "By pleading guilty the defendant admitted all the facts and evidence that went to make up the case, so that these facts are now beyond dispute the only question that is now left open is the ability of the district attorney to draw a sufficient complaint under these plain statutes. This is a purely technical legal point. "The only question of substance that the defendant raises by his appeal, is the constitutional right of the Legislature to pass such laws.

In order to succeed upon this claim the defendant must satisfy the Supreme Judicial Court that the I.iegialature had no authority to forbid the circulation and exhibition of Indecent and literature, or literature tending to corrupt the morals of and secondly, the authority of the to forbid the advertising of contra-conceptlve literature. The advertising of notice of means to procure abortion is also part of the section 16 thus attacked.

Too Indecent to Print "I ought to say that the indictment did not set out the words charged to be In violation of tho law, alleging that they were too Indecent to be set forth in the pleading. The publications were filed In court at this last hearing separately, and immediately were impounded by order of the court, and thus forbidden to the curious. "If the Supreme Court should decide I criminal pleading? largeand distributed tills matter quantity. "I cannot Imagine a husband consulted by his wife, who would willingly advise her to attend the trial of this kind, but, on the other hand, if his advice was honestly given, I would expect the strongest words against such attendance. What, then, are we to think of women who would idolize a man pleading to such charges, wasting hours of their time In order to hear publicly a story unfit to be set forth these statutes are unconstitutional, or the Indictment bad In form, because the matter is not set out with sufficient detail, the fact still remains that it was a matter not to be heard by modest wives or mothers, not to be mentioned to the young, and unfit to appear In the press.

"The newspapers of this city would not have dared to print the full story, if trial had been pres.sed. To do so would have caused an uprising, would have broken every canon of decency upheld by the newspaper world. I am so confident of this I would leave it to the judgment of any three newspaper editors In Massachusetts'. "It may bo that my statement was not exactly Chesterfleldian, but at least Opposes Birth Control "As to the doctrine of birth control, may I add that I am, of course, opposed to it on moral and economical grounds. Morally, because it is ism; economically, because the world needs more men and women.

This country needs them, and never more than today. The excuse for Its propaganda is love for the poor! Tho answer to the poverty of large families is Increased living wage. "If an honest man with willing hands is unable to support his fomily, society is to blame and not the laws of God and nature. It is the poverty of the home, the needs of the children, that TURKEYS SELLING SLOWLY BOSTON MAN IS A SUICIDE BAHAISTS BURY MISS FARMER Shoots Self in Head in 200 Maine Hotel I believe I made clear my disgust wHh the women who spent one whole day in court waiting, and were ready on the next to lend their ears to the story of an alleged paper containing indecent and Impure language and manl- fesU.v tending to corrupt the morals of influence labor to ask for more wages.

and that I could Indeed pity them. I wonder how many out of that large crowd know anything of family life, of the joy, the love, and the support of children, so far outweighing the sacrifice. the troubles, yes, and the cf maternal cares. I would wish to ask them why that empty home, that silent house; it It will or your design? "This case has had much publicity. The judge of the lower court and myself have been roundly abused at public meetings, accounts of which were prett.v much published in the public press.

Letters regarding the case have received generous press notice, but 1 have deemed it proper to keep silent while the case was open and liable to come before a jury for decision. a newspaper has made inquiry as to the gist of the allegation, or as to the real case. They seemed to bo satisfied, particularly the Herald, in assuming that birth control was on trial, that high-minded women interested In the propaganda sought to lend their support. No Inquiry has been made of me concerning this case, with one exception. A man and woman working in a mill for eight dollars a week each, can get along well, but when the children come there is but one steady worker and expen.ses are many times multiplied.

"Birth control says to this couple, not have children and you can get along well enough; defy nature, crush the love of children, cease to increase and multiply, or you will be starved to "If the woman who tried to gain entrance to the court room and wasted a day and a half in the vain endeavor to hear the Allison case, really loved the poor, how many sweet things they could have been doing during those hours for tho poor and distressed even within a throw of this court house. Boycott of Dealers and Housewives Effective The high-cost-of-turkcy protest, which has resulted in a boycott by retail marketmen and housewives of Greater Boston, may bring some results when several trainloads of the popular Thanksgiving Day bird arrive Boston today from the South. Unless this shipment has also been cornered by speculators and the big packers, boycott leaders anticipate a drop the price.

"A commission of most distinguished men and women in England has recently published its report on Declining Birth and the evidence received, and conclusions reached on birth control, would be most enlightening to those who have lent support to the birth control movement, most of whom, I fear, are misled by a and, unwittingly perhaps, by a nation-killing sentiment.

Scarcely any turkey has been sold to date and if those who have a monopoly on the bird decide to hold out against the marketmen and consumers roast pork and stuffed shoulder will be the principal menu on most tables on Thursday noon.

KREISLER RECITAL Fritz Kreisler was a.s.sisted by Carl Frledberg, pianist, when he gave a concert yesterday afternoon in Symphony Hall. As ie now invariably the case when Mr. Kreisler appears, the auditorium was packed to the limit of its capacity. The stage, too, was occupied with llsteneni. The aisles w'ere deep with those who stood.

The audience hung breathless on the every note and the applause was so loud and so long continued that he was obliged to add many pieces to the programme that was announced. A feature of this concert was the performance by Messrs. Kreisler and Fried- I berg of piano and violin so- nata. This sonata is not perhaps a work best fitted to the spaces of Symphony Hall, with Us mystical coloring and har- monlc subtlety. But it was given a i performance which excited much comment by two great musicians whose interpretation of the famous composition had not been known in this tity.

In other pieces, beginning with A minor concerto and running through a list of smaller pieces which Mr. Kreisler always plays so delightfully, this violinist again displayed all those remarkable qualities which have made his name one to conjure with where the musical public is concerned: his warmth of tone, his emotional expression, which is controlled by high intellectual understanding and musicianship, and his succeeding Cidristmas yind some cderished dope, or dappu of the pear Handsomest Gifts Imaginable EXTRAORDINARY VALUE PAY US FOR IT AT $4.00 per WEEK 1 Delivered on First Payment Thete diamonds are extra fine color, perfectly cut, full of brilliance, and mounted in the latest ttyle Tiffany solid I4k gold settinge.
