WIFE IS CLOSE OBSERVER Frequent Change of Base by Former Prosecutor Falls to Confuse Witness, Who Proves Him self Apt at Repartee. WHITE PLAINS. N. J., June 26. Harry K. Thaw and William Travers Jerome had an all-day debate at today's hearing- on Thaw's application for re lease from the Matteawan Insane asy lum, their frequent verbal passages at arms keeping; the Interest of a bier crowd of courtroom auditors at a high pitch. Thaw, while not wholly losing his temper at any stage, flung back some caustic replies to leading questions of the attorney, who was putting Stan ford White's slayer through what was termed a "mental examination." The witness repeatedly questioned Jerome's motives in appearing as the leading inquisitor in opposition to Thaw's release and at one point, when he was asked for whom he thought the attorney was acting, he flung back this: "Mr. Jerome, I have been told that when you sent Able Hummel up the river and you didn't send him up the river: only to the workhouse the mantle of Able Hummel fell on the shoulders of William Travers Jerome." Thaw In Not Confused. Mr. Jerome frequently shifted the bsse of his attack with the apparent purpose of confusing Thaw. Switching abruptly at one point, he asked: "If you were not insane when you shot White, it was murder, was it not?" "It would be if the jury said so," Thaw replied, refusing to lose 1,18 calm. Asked whether he had ever shopped In England for Mrs. Paget, whom he mentioned in his will, .Thaw said he had not. He shopped for cousins of Jerome, he said, and added: "Who certainly must be mighty ashamed of you." Thaw was not particularly coherent In explanation of one statement he had Issued against Jerome, giving what to msny of his listeners seemed a ram bling account of it. Qolttlnar of Harvard Explained. "Why were you dismissed from Har vard?" wss Jerome's query. on another quirk shift of ground. "I never was dismissed. Tou know it," Thaw answered, hotly. "I left at the same time four other young men left with whom I was playing poker." Jerome continued to change from one line of questions to another. Toward the close of the day Thaw came close at Times to losing his temper, attack ing Jerome and accusing him of intro ducing falsehoods and make-believe persons. "If I should drag In names that have no conceivable connection with this case." he said. "I'm "Sure his honor would surely think I was crazy." Virtually every question asked by Jerome was met with an objection from Clearance Shearn, Thaw's lawyer. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw sat In the court room all day listening to her husband's testimony, her gaze riveted on his fuse. : ' T4 - "lA r I i I ' - "j , tw' d CPU J l.:-v., tie. 1 1 1,. SsMBsl HOOD RIVER RAISES SPEED Aldermen Favor Increasing- Limit for Motors to 15 M'leb. HOOD RIVER. Or., June 16. (Spe cial.) As a result of the recent whole sale arrests on the Heights for viola tions of the automobile ordinances, the automobile club held a meeting and decided to submit to the City Council en ordinance Increasing the speed limit to 15 miles an hour. It Is probable that such an ordinance will be enacted; for at a meeting of the Board of Alder men last night, when the subject came up for discussion, the majority of the body favored the increased limit. A number of the men arrested for the violations of the ordinance de clared that they were resting under the impression that the law as now in force provided for the 15-mlle limit. Indeed, some of the members of the Council, when the officers were ordered strictly to enforce the law. thought that a reso.UltionJiad been adopted last year Increasing' the speed limit. How ever, the resolution after having been referred to the committee had never been acted upon, and the officers en forced the old law. allowing only a maximum speed of 10 miles an hour.

REFORMS ARE URGED Clubwomen Say Their Sex Has Led Good Work. SCANDAL" NEWS DEPLORED Urgent Need for" Instruction in Sex Hygiene in Schools, on Basis of Biology, Declared to Exist in Nation. . SAN FRANCISCO, June 26. What the clubwomen of the country are do ing today, what they have done in the last four years and what they intend to do in the future were the general outlines of the valedictory delivered today by Mrs. Philip North Moore, of St. Louis, retiring president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, now in session here for its 11th bien nial convention. "I believe." she said, "that the Gen eral Federation is now united as never before. The new officers will hold fast to all that has been good in the past and give a new outlook on the future. The great task of this gen eration is to live down the generation that still lags behind the times." Among the accomplishments listed Mrs. Moore said that the country at large had the clubwomen to thank for the pure food law, the preservation of Niagara Falls from the greed of power companies, the passage of the Weeks bill for the conservation of forest lands and much legislation looking to the welfare of women and children. Future Activity Outlined. For the future she urged that women particularly address themselves to International and industrial peace, regulation of the press and the drama, education, inspection of factories and other establishments in which women are employed and a closer watch on National legislation affecting humani tarian, social and civic life. The Sunday comic supplement came in for sharp criticism. "Cannot we have a suplement, asked Mrs. Moore.Jthat is actually ar tistic and truly humorous?" Details cf divorce, scandal and crime, she thought, were less and less tolerable to women. "An item of pews," sho said, "we must accept, but the unsavory details are no longer news." A little ripple of laughter ran through the hall when the first rule reported by the committee on rules and regulations commanded that "to insure Ihe, comfort and pleasurs of all, ladies will please remove their hats.'' Booka Arc Wei Kept. The auditor read a letter from a firm of certified accountants saying in part that "we have pleasure in saying that the books of the General Federation of Women's Clubs have been better kept than those of any similar organi sations known to us." An incomplete report from the com mittee on credentials showed delegates in attendance from every state in the Union, Alaska and the Philippines. Mrs. O. Shepard Barium, of Los An geles, chairman of the department of education, reported In favor of teach ing personal and sex hygiene in nor mal and public schools. Mrs. M. W. Barry, of Sherman. Tex., said that the subject was difficult and delicate, but that normal schools were willing to give such Instruction as soon as educators could agree on what were wise methods and what essential. Sex Instruction Advocated. "From the mass of reports and pri vate, correspondence," she concluded, "the committee seubmits the following facts: "That It Is generally conceded by educators, physicians and social work ers tnat there is urgent need for per sonal and sex hygiene instruction in our schools. "That such Instruction should be grounded In biology. "That it should include more than physical facts. "That it Is dangerous to Introduce Into elementary and secondary schools until It is required in normal schools and teachers are carefully selected and prepared for the work. "The instruction should be given to parents and gradually to the general public. "That popular prejudice against such instruction is rapid,- disappearing. "That such instruction Is essential to eradicating the social evil and con trolling disease." Color-Music System Advocated. Mrs. Fannie B. McKinney-Hughey, of St. Louis, spoke on teaching children by the color-music system. She said that even infants six months old might be taught by this unique system. She expressed the belief that the character of a child should be moulded from baby hood; that Its education should begin when it Is only three months old. Mrs. William S. Hefferman, of Chi cago, advocated the renovation of the public school system and said only those should be employed as school teachers whose . moral character is perfect, ' She said the chief obstacle to educational advancement was the indifference of the people generally. Mrs. W. N. Norris, chairman of the education committee, of Nebraska, said that education should include culture. "The home Is the Nation's strongest fortress, for In it centered all the is sues of life," she concluded. . Mrs. John Cowling, chairman of the educational committee, of New Jersey, read a paper on the same topic. Women on Police Force Needed. There were several addresses under the general topic of sex hygiene. The principal paper was read by Judge Clayton F. Herrington, of this city, who is connected with - the Department of Justice. He laid stress on the need of protection of girls from the wiles of the "white slavers," and urged upon the club women the necessity of bring ing Influence to bear upon Congress to have that body make a sufficient ap propriation to make effective war upon and suppress the men who lure girls to ruin. Mrs. C. P. Barnes, of the educational department of the general federation, and Mrs. W. F. Harper, of' Washing ton, spoke of the need of adequate in struction in the normal schools in sex hygiene. Alice Stebbins Wells, who was the first policewoman to be appointed in Los Angeles, discussed the need of po licewomen for the protection of wo, men and girls. Through the Los Ange les delegation she has submitted a resolution for the consideration of the federation, which urges the clubwo men to work for the appointment of women to the police force of every large city in the country. , WOMEN SELL FLOWERS 10,000 IN LONDON AID IN WOKK FOB CHARITY.

HAZEL IRVIII IS ARRESTED IN SALEM Putative Wife of Slayer of Ray - Wallace Confesses to Officers.

Wallace in a Portland lodging-house, Wednesday morning, June 19, was ar rested at the Bligh Hotel in this city today by Officer Jack Whitlach, of the local police force. She had registered at the hotel early in the day as Mrs. Helen McKee and had taken a room in the upper floor of the hotel, which is located in the heart of the city, on State street. Officer Whitlach had re ceived information that it was possi ble the Irwin woman was at the hotel and after an investigation went to her room, where he knocked on the door. She called to him to come in and he found her lying on the bed. "Isn't your name Hazel Irwin?' he asked. "That used to" be my name but I am married now," she. responded. Story of Killing Told. After a brief talk he took her to the police station. There she told the story of the killing of Ray Wallace in Portland. Breaking down . with sobs convulsing her frame, she consistent ly refused, however, to tell of the whereabouts of W. R. Tanner, who, she admits, killed Wallace and who, she states, is her husband. "I don't, know where he is," she sobbed. "I don't knoTsr where he went because he did not tell me. "I don't know whether he had any money with him." Repeatedly she made these asser tions until the officers were satisfied she would make no statements as to the location of her husband, even if she knows where he is or in what direction he may have gone. Detec tives Vaughn and Lightner of Port land joined in the effort to secure in formation as to Tanner, but their efforts were also unavailing. "Wallace was killed about 1:30 o'clock last Wednesday morning," said the Irwin woman or Mrs. Tanner, In her statement to the police. "Date" la Made. "I had known him for some time and he made a 'date' with me to meet me at the room Tuesday night. About 11 o'clock Tuesday night after I had gone to a theater I went to the restaurant and we talked for a few minutes. Cus tomers came In and he told me to come back and he would go with me after the restaurant closed. He said he did not wish to meet me on the street. "I went back about 12:80 or 1 o'olock and waited until the restaurant closed. He locked up the restaurant and we went to my room together. I went over toward the dresser and was standing in front of the mirror taking off my bat, when I saw my husband, Mr. Tanner, throw some object at Wal lace. Wallace was hit and knocked down. Then I thought my husband started to pick up the object and throw It at me. He had often told me that he would kill me if he ever found me in company with any man. "I did not wait, but fled out of the room." Husband's Whereabouts Denied. She declared time and time again that she has no knowledge of her hus band's whereabouts and has not the slightest idea of what direction he may have gone. Portions of her story proved to be misfits, as she finally admitted being at the depot with Tan ner, after she bad stated that she fled from the room after she thought Tan ner would also attempt to kill her. She states that since coming to Sa lem she has been several days at the Richmond Hotel here. This hotel is directly across from the Bligh Hotel. She states that only twice has she ven tured forth to secure anything to eat. Once, she says, she became so dis heartened in her room that she ven tured out on State street and walked several blocks past the State Capitol to Twelfth street and returned. It was then that she was seen by an acquaintance and the officers se cured the first definite clew that she was hiding in Salem. Tanner Seen In Salem Also.

VENICE TURNS MODEST CALIFORNIA TOWX REGULATES BATHING COSTUME. Skirts Must Hang 1 4 Inches, Below Waist Sleeves to Wrist Are Re quired Low Jfecks Tabooed. LOS ANGELES, June 28. (Special.) The most radical and unpopular bathing reform that ever stirred this community was wrought by the Trus tees of Venice last night. They passed in preliminary form an ordi nance requiring skirts hanging 14 inches below the waist line for both men's and . women's suits, sleeves to the wrists for women, to the elbows for men, and necks cut not more than two inches low for either sex. Damsels who have been wearing their bathing suits in sand more than in the water appear more excited today over the new law than those who wear the gar ments for actual bathing, but there Is a general uprising and the Trus tees are hearing more than the wild waves are saying. Men and women declare the regulation Is ridiculous and that nobody can bathe at Venice with out having a suit made to order or renting one of the freaks to be pro vided there. The former object to the sklrta and the latter to long sleeves and high necks. Thousands of persons from this city bathe at Vanlce each Sunday and will be affected by the change. They are protesting loudly. ENTERPRISE FIRM ELECTS Spokane Men Named Officers in Oregon Corporation. ENTERPRISE, Or., June 26. (Spe cial.)

Doctor's Boyish Face Reveals Skin Renewer I heard the other day the story of the physician with so admirable a skin that all his women patients asked the secret. He told one, who generously told others, that, knowing the remark able absorbent property of ordinary mercolized wax, he concluded this sub stance would make an excellent com- Slexion renewer and preserver. Know-a- th way could not harm the skin. he began using.it after shaving. He soon oDservea mat me oiu, wimwieu, colorless cuticle was" being gradually absorbed and replaced by younger, healthier skin. This was the simple secret of the silver-haired doctor with the boyish face. The secret became public property. Now women everywhere use mercolized wax, applying It nights like cold cream, washing It off mornings- continuing, until the complexion is entirely reno vated. An ounce of this wax, procur able at any druggist's, will banish the worst complexion. Another valuable rejuvenator used by this doctor was a wrinkle-remover and preventive in the form of a face bath, made by dissolving an ounce of saxolite in a half-pint witch hazel. This also has become famous. Aurella in Fashion Review. Adv. ECZEMA IS EASILY CURED BY POSLAM For the quick cure of eczema, acne, and all skin diseases, nothing equals Poslam.
