GIRL WITNESS IS
TAKEN OFF TRAIN
[Continued From First I'agr]
United States Attorney K. Lowry
Humes.
E. Lowry Humes, Federal attorney,
went before Judge W. H. Thompson In
the Federal court to-day and asked
that the contempt proceedings against
Walter J. Damm be withdrawn.
Damm, he said, had consented to tell
the grand jury investigating the al
leged political contributions of the
United States Brewers' Association and
other brewery associations all he
knew concerning a letter Damm is
said to have found while pressing a
coat In the tailor shop where he is
employed. This letter, according to
the Federal authorities had to do with
a 5,000 contribution and brought be
fore the jury the name of an impor
tant brewery official.
Last night the grand jury inquiry
into brewery activities adjourned to
Monday and the court contempt pro
ceedings were put off further until
next Friday. Humes was contem
plating action under the penal code
governing tampering with witnesses.
Charles F. Ettla, secretary of the
Pennsylvania Hrewers' Association,
looking very ill and belying the grand
jury's suspicions on which a bench
warrant was issued for his arrest yes
terday. in the belief that he was feign
ing illness, appeared before the grand
jury, and afterward, to the surprise of
all. was not haled Into court, as the
other officers had been, on contempt
proceedings.
Besides Ettla and Miss Gallagher,
A. W. Brockmeyer, secretary to Ed
ward A. Schmidt, treasurer of the
Pennsylvania Brewers' Association, ap
peared before the grand jury.
Humes Asks Postponement
Almost taking the breath of counsel
for the brewery associations. Federal
Prosecutor Humes appeared before
Judge \V. H. S. Thomson, in the United
States Court, at the time fixed for final
arguument on the contempt proceed
ings against John Gardiner, president,
and Edward A. Schmidt, treasurer of
the Pennsylvania Brewers' Association,
Philadelphians, and Gustav W. Lem
lieck. of Jersey City, treasurer of the
United States Brewers' Association,
and asked a postponement until next
week.
Hugh F. Fox. of New York city, sec
retary of the United Brewers' Asso
ciation, was committed to jail for con
tempt on Wednesday evening and re
leased on a writ of habeas corpus on
Thursday morning. Argument on the
writ was set for next Tuesday morn
ing.
Judce Thomson fixed next Friday
morning at 10 o'clock for arguments
on all four witnesses accused of con
tempt in failing to produce records.
Humes then proposed that counsel
agree to permit a representative of
the Department of" Justice access to
tiles in the offices of the United Hrew
ers' Association in New York city and
Treasurer Lenibeck's office in Jersey
City, the authorization to .be dis
patched at once by telegraph.
There was pbjection and the gov
ernment's request was flatly turned
down.
Mr. Ettla's examination before the
grand jury and lhat of Secretary
Brockmeyer was brief. The former
appeared twice, the first time produc
ing a large manilla envelope filled with
records. That Ettla's testimony was
more to his liking than lhat of any of
the other brewery association officers
the federal prosecutor plainly indi
cated.
Miss Gnllaglicr Faces Jury Twice
Miss Gallagher was before the grand
jury an hour and a half, or longer than
any witness vet called. She was re
called in the late afternoon, the last
time for questioning on the alleged
"kidnaping" by Mulvihill.
After her long ordeal in the morn
ing the girl emerged weeping copiously
and bordering on collapse. She went 1

remarkably low prices.

her trim self again. She was entirely
self-possessed when she entered and
left the grand jury room in the after
noon.
Last night the Philadelphians re
turned east, Kttla and Brockmeyer
and Miss Gallagher under directions to
return Monday. Gardiner and Schmidt
may not lie asked to return until time
for the contempt arguments the fol
lowing Friday.
J. P. Mulvihill was held all day at
(he federal building, but was not
called into the grand jury room.
Miss Gallagher is the second witness
before the grand jury Mulvihill talked
to. The other was W. J. Da mm, a
young tailor, questioned on an alleged
letter by Mulvihill paving somebodv
$5,000.
Much of the day's session before the
grand jury was given over not to the
brewery inquiry, but to the case of
Miss Gallagher. The Pullman con
ductor and porter on the train on
which the Gallaghers came to Pitts
burgh were nubpenaed. Humes talked
with the girl a half hour in his office
before starting the grand jury pro
ceedings.

STYLES AS IMPORTANT AS CYLINDERS
If one were to summarize the dominant "talking points" of this year's
newest and best motorcars, it would undoubtedly portrav the improvement
I made in multi-cylinder engines. Talk at the Automobile Show centers largelv
around lour. six. eight and twelve-cylinder construction. This is especially j
| true of men motorists, but the women, who are an ever-increasing factor to j
be reconciled with by progressive car builders, lay greater stress than ever
before upon the style of this year's machines.
The builders of the National car Indianapolis, while having satisfied man's
desire for twelve-cylinder engines, have also taken care of woman's wishes
and provided a car that in general appearance meets the most exacting stvle |
requirements.
1 George M. Dickson, general manager of the National Company, savs:
"The looks of a car have as much to do with its popularity as the efficiency >
of its engine, jind this is as it should be, for while it is harder to build a
beautiful car of graceful lines, than it is to build a clumsy and ugly one, yet
when anyone invests'the price of a good automobile, they are entitled to not
only the best in the machinery, but the best in looks.
"The women, who as a matter of course, adopt the latest in wearing ap
; parel are only consistent when they appear in public in the very latest and
smartest motor styles. But the problem of making the National attractive
I and graceful was not the only difficulty to be overcome. The big problem
was how to reconcile these advance styles with utility, convenience and com
fort. That this has been done is the verdict of all National owners."
DAILY WAGE RULE
IN COMPENSATION
[Continued From First Page]
1 at the time of the accident, to be paid !
to the employe for his services.
"In determining the money value of
wages,
"Do not add to the amount agreed j
upon in the contract:
"Gratuities to the employe, such as
J tips or presents.
"Wages paid for overtime, except in
i seasonal employments, or employments
j dependent on the weather.
"Board, lodging, rent, fuel or simi
lar advantages from the employer, un
less the money value of such advan- i
tage shall have been fixed as part of i
the wages by the parties at the time i
of the hiring.
j Do not deduct from the amount i
I agreed upon in the contract
"The value of materials, supplies, |
! tools and other things necessary for !
I the performance of the employe's con- I
! tract with his employer, furnished or i
paid for by the employer, unless the i
contract shall specifically provide that I
the employer shall furnish them and |
I that the employe must procure them
from the employer and from no one
else, and that the employer shall de
duct the value thereof from the em
ploye's gross earnings.
"If the contract of employment be
in writing, such provision must be spe
cifically Included therein. If the con
tract is oral, the burden is upon the
employer to show that the employe
received express notice that the con
tract contained this provision.
I "Unless the value of materials etc., j
is fixed in the contract of employment,
1 the amount to be deducted under a
[ contract providing for such deduc- i
tion shall be the fair market value of
j such materials, etc.
"Sums due the employer for rent or
supplies other than those necessary
! for the employe's use in the perform
ance of his labor, even though sup
plied by the employer under contract
which gives him the right to deduct
such sums from the wages from time
[to time due to employe.
"When the wages are fixed at the
time of the accident by the week, the
weekly wage so fixed shall be the basis
; for computing compensation.
! "When the wages are fixed on a
monthly basis, ascertain the weekly j
wages by rnultipying the monthly sal- !
j ary or wages by 12 and dividing by 52.
"When the wages arc fixed by the
year, divide the yearly wage by 52.
"To find 'average dally wage' In con
; tinuous employment:
"The total earnings for six months
! preceding the accident or so much
thereof as employe has worked for the
j same employer.
"Subtract from said 'total earnings'
all earnings for overtime, if any.
"Divide remainder thus obtained by
number of 'working days.'
j Working days' shall be construed
to mean total number of days in the
period of employment covered, ac- ;
| cording to the calendar, less Sundays,
j legal holidays, half-holidays for each '
i week, days employe was prevented
■ |
j from working through no fault of his !
j own.
| "For 'average weekly wage' multi
t ply above result by
j "When the employment Is contlnu-i
ous and substantially constant and \
regular, the employe's earnings for the ;
last full week preceding the accident I
may be taken as the average weekly l
j earnings.
"When compensation is paid semir 1 1
I monthly the compensation payments!,
; shall be ascertained by dividing the j
weekly compensation by 7 and multi- I
plying by the number of calendar days j
in the period.
"When wages are customarily paid j 1
semimonthly, compensation may be !
paid every two weeks. | J
"When at the termination of the dls- i :
lability compensation is payable for a
I fraction of a week, the employe shall i
i receive for each day of such fraction '
| of a week, including Sundays and holi- j
i days, one-sixth of his weekly compen-
I satlon."
j In addition to adopting these rules,
the board yesterday granted insur
| ance exemption to the Pressed Steel
