Oct. 15. (By the Associated Press.) Uw and order must be preserved in America and immigrants coming here must realize that when they reach these shores their time for use of force is behind them. Attorney General Palmer declared tonight in an address at the Founders' Day exercises at Lafayette College. "The mistake which seems to have been made by many who have come here recently from other parts of the world," said Mr.

Palmer, "is this: They affect to believe that the general movement for better conditions of life In other parts of the world must have its counterpart In method in this newer world. They refuse to see the stupendous advance which las teen made in that movement here during the last century by men of larger minds and broader visions, who preceded them to this land for the very purpose. "It is difficult for us to give credit for sincerity to many of the ultraradical class-war agitators, who seek the short and rough road built by force when they have at hand the other. "The Ingenuity of man has made the Atlantic ocean a mere ditch between the continents. New inven- -tions will make it narrower still.

But it must always be wide enough to permit the immigrant, as he crosses it, to rid himself for all time of all the misconceptions of government with which the old conditions tilled his mind."

At that hour there were hundreds of men, presumably strikers, lounging carelessly about on all the street corners for blocks on each side of the hall.

Rubin approached him and the officer informed the attorney that it would be Impossible to hold a meeting there, inasmuch as no police permit had been obtained. Mr. Rubin started to explain that, under the law, no permit was necessary, but the officer suggested that Commissioner Peter P.

Walsh was the proper person to speak to, in that regard. Commissioner Walsh appeared shortly afterward. A patrol filled with officers also drew up in front of the building, and the policemen scat tered through, the district to keep the" crowds moving. Mr. Rubin and Commissioner Walsh engaged in a discussion.

The commis sioner said a permit had not been obtained, and the attorney insisted one was not needed. The commissioner retorted that he would have lo be shown that none was required. While this conversation was going on, inside the building, the crowd outside had magically doubled and tripled itself until all the streets about the hall were choked with people.

Another statement, touching upon the plans for a state-wide strike in sympathy with the steel workers, was It read: "The officials of, the Pittsburgh Central Labor Union, the Building Trades Council, Brotherhood of Railroad Fire man, and the United Mine Workers, of America are indignant at being refused the right of holding a hearing before the city council on their grievances against Mayor Babcock and Police Commissioner Walsh.

FIRES UPON VICTIM AS HE ENTERS GARAGE (Continued From Page One.) tempt by her to shoot him in Oliver avenue recently.

Both were arrested, later being discharged in police court on representations by Testa that the woman really was his wife. They got an apartment in Baum boulevard near Cypress" street and had lived there several months. They quarreled frequently, with the result that Te3ta was orderea to vacate the apartment- last Saturday. He did so and took up his residence in the Fort Pitt Hotel, where he, was registered under the name of M. Dato.

Finding herself deserted, Mrs. Hall became desperate. Sunday she spent with and to them, it is alleged, she said she was about to do something desperate in case Testa, whom she said she going to interview Mondayf would not agree to keep his promise. Early the following day she appeared at the Fort Pitt Hotel and inquired for Testa. She was informed that no person by that najne was registered there.

She demanded to be shown the register, saying she could recognize his signature if he had used an assumed This request was refused. After waiting for a short time, Mrs. Hall walked to the garage in- Seventh street where Testa keeps his She remained there all of that day waiting for him. Testa had been told of Mrs. Hall's actions by a business associate and kept in his room at the hotel.

WOMAN ELUDED. Mrs. Hall again appeared at the hotel yesterday morning and took up a position near the elevator from where she could see the guests descend. Her pres ence was noted by a business associate of Testa's who went to tils room and notified him that Mrs. Hall was waiting below.

Testa left the hotel by the freight elevator and a side entrance. After satisfying herself that he had left Mrs. Hall got a taxicab and was driven to the Seventh Street Garage. She arrived there a few minutes before Testa and seated herself in the office to await his arrival. Under the impression that he had outwitted her, esta soon appeared and ordered his auto prepared for a trip to Ellwood City, where he was to sell building lots.

As he was about to enter the car, Mrs. Hall stepped up to liim. Drawing a revolver from the folds of her skirt she pointed "it at his head and is alleged to have remarked: "You will not take that automobile out today. You are going to the morgue." Testa turned pale and attempted to escape. He dashed toward the rear of the garage.

As he did so two ifiots were fired. Testa dropped with a bullet in his head. The bullet entered behind one ear. As he lay moaning, his assailant stepped to his Hide and snapped the trigger twice. The cartridges did not explode.

Before she could make any further attempts on the man's life Mrs. Hall was seized by Police Chauffeur Alfred Bassett, who drives Superintendent of Police Robert J. Alderdice's car. He was driving past the garage when he heard the shot. Mrs.

Hall was disarmed and led into the office of the garage, while Bassett and Policeman John Meyers went to the assistance of Testa. In their absence Mrs. Hall slowly paced the- floor. On3 of the employes then saw her draw the vlar containing the poison from her bosom, extract two tablets and swallow them. As the patrol auto came into the garage to remove Testa to the hospital, Mrs.

Hall stepped to the office door and asked Policeman Meyer3: "Is he dead?" "No, he is not dead yet, but will surely die from that bullet in his head," was the answer. "If he's not dead, 1 hope he dies soon," was the comment Mrs. Hall Is alleged to made as she was led to an automobile and taken to detective headquarters. On the way there she confided to Chauffeur Bassett that she would not live a great while, as she had taken poison. Mrs.

Hall was taken into Captain of Detectives Clyde S. Edeburn's office. The latter started to question her. Mrs. Hall said, according to Ede-burn: WOMAN TELLS STORY.

"I shot him because he broke up my family. He promised to marry me when the divorce was granted me. Our life for the first few months was ideal. Then I learned that he was married and had a wife and two children in Is'ew York. I accused him, but he denied it When I learned the truth and accused him he abused me and told me he was.

tired of his bargain, that he was going to leave me and return to his lamity and that I would have to make the best of it. This stunned me completely, and when he left me lmost penniless after all I have sacrificed for him, I decided to kill him and myBelf. "My only worry' now is my little daughter and my mother. God help them in all thi3 trouble and disgrace. Here is J38.

Give it to my mother in case the poison does the work. I do not care now what the end is." As she finished, Mrs. Hall was seized ing complete Fall and Winter lines, a collection of. garments that embrace all the latest models and offer choice from every handsome pattern and color and the best wool fabrics. NOTE the snappy appearance of these suits, the fine tailoring throughout.

The workmanship will profe its merit after months of the hardest wear any active lad could give his. clothes. PRICES RANGE $20.00 to $35.00 with violent paroxysms of pain, due to the poison she had swallowed. She was given first aid and rushed to Mercy Hospital. Here the stomach pump was used end physicians believe they have succeeded in removing most of the jPoison from the woman's stomach.

She was resting easy last night, but the effect of the poisoning will not be known for several days. Mrs. Hall was under guard of two detectives, and her mother was also keeping vigil at her bedside. Frequently the sufferer called for her child to be brought to her, but the physician will not permit this until her condition is more favorable. Testa's condition is considered grave: The bullet entered the brain cavity, and he is only conscious at intervals.

An X-ray picture will be taken today, if Testa lives, the hope of finding and possibly removing the billet. Physicians hold little hope for his recovery. His wife and relatives in New York have been notified of the shooting. The latter is expected to arrive her today. DIVORCE PENDING.

A divorce action, instituted by hep husband several months ago, is now ending against Mrs. HalL In this Testa named as the corespondent. On August 14 Mrs. Hall and her husband gured in an episode at ixtn street and lenn avenue, it is said. The latter, firmed with a warrant for her arrest on a charge of misdemeanor, attempted tio it himself.

As he was reading the legal document, Mrs. Hall seized it from him, tore it into small pieces and threw the scraps in his face. Both were arrested and appeared in Central poltee court the following day; where Mrs. Ha.ll created another sensation by making a personal attack on her husband, striking him in the face. Both were discharged.

iln their Investigations following the shooting of Testa, Detectives Albert Beebe and Charles Freeborn found memorandums which disclose that Testa had been requested a number of times by his wife's attorney to contribute to the support of his family. One of these stated that the children had been placed in care of a children's society and asking that he act "like man' and send funds for the support of the three. A number of pawn tickets for jewelry ithat is alleged to have' been pledged by Testa, and which it is said was the property of Mrs. Hall, also were discovered in Testa's room. Memorandums there, end the statement of one of Testa's business' associates, shows that his commissions monthly in selling lots ranged from $SC0 to $1,500.

A technical charge of "suspicious person" was lodged against Mrs. Hal! dn Central station, but no warrant will be issued for her arrest until the condition of Testa is determined. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Considene, 226 Collins avenue, parents of Mrs Hall, a pathetic scene took place last night, when Mrs.) Considene was informed of the shooting.

She collapsed and medical aid was necessary to revive her. Mrs. Hall's daughter is being cared for by the grandparents. Bared Legs No Go In Chilly Chicago Paris May Have Fad to Itself, Windy City Decides. Oct may, be all right for Paris women to freeie their knees and paint their eyebrows bright yellow, purple, blue or red that sort of thing goes well in Paris, but the short skirt fad, along with no stockings, is not destined to have an uproarious following In Chicago.

Chicago fashion devotees would not mind bare nether limbs and skirts slightly above the knees in the good old summer time, but with Jack Frost already nibbling wherever the nibbling is good, the fair sex along chilly Lake Michigan will ignore the Paris fad. This momentous decision was reached recently at the fashion display given in the Crystal ball room of the Congress Hotel for the permanent blind relief war fund. The exhibit netted approximately $10,000 for the fund. It has been shown in several other Cities and the total so far raised exceeds $75,000.
