New York, March "It is simply an outrage that women cannot dress in men" clothing if they want to," de clared, Dr. Mary Walker, one of the pioneer exponents of women's suffrage, here today. Dr. -Walker has always ap peered in trousers, frock coat and silk hat. Dr. Walker has been In Albany for a week in tue interests or aurrragisis and has had the; representatives of her district Introduce a bill the. legislature permitting women to dress aa they please. If her bill is enacted Into a law, any policeman arresting a woman for belnsr dressed in men's clothing. wCll be fined $1000 and be sent to jail for six montha.

The "Wets won a victory over the "Drys" today in the first skirmish of the fight to keep orr the ballot the question, "Shall Chi cago become anti-saloon territory," when the board of election commission era decided to atari an immediate acru tiny of the "Dry" petition.. Pleas made by representatives of the Anti-Saloon league for more time to prepare their defense were unavailing, and it was or dered that 226 clerks working In three eight-hour shifts, begin the examination today. The commissioners announced that If, aa contended, by the United Societies fcr Local Self Government, nearly half of the slgnnturesto the petition are in valid, Chicago will be given no oppor tunlty on the saloon issue) at the April election. The commission announced that the case will be heard Monday morning. A Theological Student Told Po- lice Ray Wilcox. Missing, Killed Mrs. Pepoon. No Mora Against Testimony. The attorneys for Moore made no ef fort to shut out any of this testimony. end they will contend that there has -been an utter failure to show any guilty knowledge on the part of Moore. The state, on the other hand, will argue he iti.ist have known of these things be muse of his position as presldunt and his almost dally presence at the hank. ' The defense places emphasis on the fart that Moora knows nothing of the Frience of bookkeeping.' He was not able to explain the books or to under stand them. It Is rlulmed. He Is pic tured in the role of a guileless Country hanker, 'who was possibly misled at times, but Intended to do right. The sacrifice of his personal fortune and the promptness with which he turned over the Board of Trade build ing to the receiver, besides making up from his own funds money that had heen deposited with a view to national izing the bank, are pointed to as acts J- snowing honesty or purpose and lack of knowledge of the real condition of ths bank's affairs. When Devlin Takes Stand. One of the Interesting days of the trial will be when Receiver Thomas C. levlin Is called to the stand. He Is to testify for the state to show the In solvent condition of the bank.; Charles W. Kulton and Henry B. McGinn,- the chief counsel for Moore, will turn , their hatteries full upon him to ahow that he was negligent and astonishingly In competent In settling the affairs of the filled Institution. They will endeavor to convince the Jury that had Devlin used ordinary business prudence the bank would have realized more than Its liabilities from the assets on hand. Kxpertn In real estate and personal nlues will testify that Devlin should have made a -handsome profit out of the Hoard of Trade building and the Crater lake road. The Investment In Home Telephone bonds will be half Justified and half excused, on the ground that some of these bonds are worth par and 1t could not be foreseen that the Omaha Issue would not turn out as well. , L. O. Ralston will take the stand again tomorrow morning to complete his testimony. It seems likely that the trial will consume two weeks more. years hence will be as sweeping as those of 1 890 and 1892. Caaaonlsm OB5y Hootchad.
