T'was Not So Much What Mary Wore
That Prefaced This Disaster:
But Rather What She Failed To Wear
That Outraged This Staid Pastor
New York, June 28 Scant summer styles, as exhibited
in these parts, have inspired the Rev. Dr. John Roach
Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, to pen a
"poem" which was going through its second edition in
the public prints today.
Writes Dr. Straton:
"Mary had a little skirt,
The latest style, do doubt;
But every time she got inside
She was more than half way out."
In a prose foreword, delivered from his pulpit Sunday
night, Dr. Straton declared he did not advocate a return
to the old street sweeping style.

An early hearing on the
rates proposed by the Southern
Pacific company for
Cleveland, Ohio, June 28. Mrs.
Eva Catherine Kaber, charged
with having plotted the assassina
tion of her husband, Dantel P.
Kaber of Lakewood, Ohio, was for
mally placed on trial this morn
ing. She is under indictment for
first degree murder which carries
the death penalty.
Mrs. Kaber appeared uncon
cerned as she entered the orowded
court room and seemed disinter
ested in the trial. 1
The corridors of the court house
were filled and the crowd in front
of the building had increased to
more than a thousand persons be
fore Mrs. Kaber appeared.
Women Jurors Protested
Attorneys for the defendant
vigorously protested against the
prospective of women being placed
on the jury-and immediately sub
mited a motion to annul a special
pane! of 42 talesmen because five
women were . included. Judge
Bernon promptly overruled the
motion on the ground that the
state constitution did not bar Wo
men jurors.
Doubt was expressed whether a
jury would be selected before ihe
end of the week.
When the trial opened attorneys
for Mrs. Kaber were prepared to
ask for a continuance. Failing in
this, it was indicated, a plea of
temporary insanity would be en
tered, which the state announced
would be vigorously opposed.
