EX-CHORUS GIRL WITNESS Friend of Mrs. Phillips Daring Stage Career Also Testifies to Convulsive Spells. , LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 1. Mrs. Clara Phillips once' attacked her sister, Mrs. It. S. Jaokson, while suffering from periodical epileptic convulsion, Mrs. Jackson testified today in Mrs. Phillips' trial for the hinder of Mrs. Alberta Meadows. This occurred, Mrs. Jackson said, . in San Antonio, Tex., some time in May, 1918. Mrs. Phillips, she said, threw her across a trunk and beat her with a shoe, inflicting: a wound on her head of which the scar still remains. -. Mrs. Jackson testified that her sis ter's mental attacks were preceded by a "peculiar look" In her eyes. Clara, she declared, would lose con trol of herself for from five min utes to two hours when one of the seizures came. Twice during 1917, she said, Mrs. Phillips went into convulsions, bled from the mouth and tore her hair. When the at tacks passed she was left In a weakened condition, according to the witness. 1 Mother Said to Be Invalid. The witness said her mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Weaver, was- subject to epileptic convulsions and is now an invalid at Tampico, Mexico. Miss Ola Weaver, another sister of the defendant, corroborated the testimony about her mother and that of Dr. Edward H. Anthony, who said he attended Mrs. Weaver on October 13 last when she was in a convulsion. The defense also called Mrs. Wil helmina Atkinson. She was the first witness. Mrs. Atkinson, garbed in a large picture hat and a dress that dragged the ground, took the stand and tes tified that she was in a chorus at San Antonio, Tex., in 1918, with Mrs. Phillips and that they worked and roomed together for eight months. Both Chorus Girls. Asked who formed the company, she said there were three principals and ten chorus girls, and that her stage name was Billie Moody. She said all of the girls in the company were "perfect ladies, each and every one of them." Mrs. Atkinson said that on one occasion as she and Mrs. Phillips were reporting for work Mrs. Thillips fell in what appeared to be a faint, was carried to a dressing room by the other chorus girls and was revived there after about 25 minutes. Mrs. Atkinson's expres sion was that she "snapped out of it Some Girls Married. Enlarging further on the char acter of the company, Mrs. Atkinson said in response to a question as to whether the members were all pro fessionals that "some of the girls "were professionals and some had husbands in the army." Her evidence, voiced in up-to-the-' minute phraseology, kept the ca pacity crowd in the courtroom at a tension of interest throughout. Mrs. Phillips followed it closely but with out visible emotion. Mrs. Atkinson then testified that on one occasion coming home late on an evening when Mrs. Phillips had not worked, she found the lat ter in bed, apparently in coma or convulsion. She said Mrs. Phillips' hands were gripped around the bed rail so that she was unable to un clasp them and that she called a doctor, who restored" Mrs. Phillips to consciousness. The witness said Mrs. Phillips later disclaimed any knowledge of what had happened. . Room In Wrepi. At that time, Mrs. Atkinson said their rocm was a wreck. She said the bedding had been destroyed, the chairs broken, the water pitcher thrown out of the window and other signs of a destructive activity were apparent. After their engagement In San Antonio closed they went to Orange, Tex., she said, where Mrs. Phillips had more of the attacks such as the witness described. Both Women Laugh, When cross-examination began the state took Mrs. Atkinson back to the incident she had described in San Antonio when Mrs. Phillips was found jll with the room in disorder. In response to questions she said the room "looked like a madhouse." She then began to tell about the long time it took physicians to bring Mrs. Phillips to normal and as she testified Mrs. PhilliDs sud.ieniv burst into laughter and stuffed a naneKercmer into her mouth to sup press the sound. The witness looked at Mrs Phillips, listened to another question and then when she tried to answer it she likewise burst into helpless laughter and rocked herself in the witness chair in an effort to control nerseir. Arter she did so cross examination was resumed. LOGGER KILLED BY TREE Son ot Portland Man Struck by Limb In Woods. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 1. (Special.)

Brisk Campaign Is ckrried On at Franklin Girls Join in War fare Over New Garb. A plebiscite on peon pants a sol emn referendum on the question of sartorial freedom at Franklin high school, will take place this afternoon and the fate of toreador trousers and their co-opartners in dress radi calism Spanish skirts will be set tled by the vote of students. For ten days Franklin has been divided in two ' hostile camps by these invaders from old Castile. The opposition has far outnumbered the champions of the new garb and sev eral case of violence- have been re ported. It was not until the fad spread to girl members Tuesday that Franklin awoke to the seriousness of the situation and the discord and hatred engendered by the wearing of the eccentric but colorful garb. Peon pants and Spanish skirts will be discussed, pro and con, at this afternoon's assembly and on the vote of the majority will depend the final outcome of the matter. Campaigning is brisk and while op position members expect "to bury peon pants beneath an avalanche of votes, the devotees of the. fantastic costume have not been idle. A meet ing of the pro-peon pants party was held yesterday afternoon in the school cafeteria. A dozen of the leaders in the movement attended and mapped out an election cam paign. Supporters of the movement are now at work among their fellow students, endeavoring, by argument. to win their fellows over to the side of sartorial tolerance and freedom. About ten girls have had the cour age to appear at school in the so- called Spanish skirts. The feminine opposition to dress radicalism, while not so .violent, is far more bitter. Piercing glances and contemptuous looks take the place of direct action. Dress conservatives among the fem inine students are far more out spoken 'than their compatriots among the males. The daring 25 who have worn and sponsored the new garb are being classed as sartorial bolsheviki by the opposition. The campaign' was hot and furious. Both aides are dis playing considerable political skill. According to members of the op position the faculty of Franklin has openly denounced the pro-peon pants party and espoused the cause of conservatism in dress. This after noon's assembly, which will be open to all students, gives promise of be ing tjhe best attended gathering of Franklin students held during the current term.
