The President sald that the party has done nothing to regenerate itself and has not purged itself of the leaders whom_public opinion had condemned as unfit. He concluded with the decla- ration that to return these men to .| power in the forthcoming provincial elections would be to point the way for a return of the chaos prevailing before the revolution. ‘NATURE'S RIVAL’ Panty-Corselette $7.95 A perfectly lovely garment of crepe de chine—corselette and lace-trimmed panty combined with uplift shoulder straps an porters.

GRAND JURY OPPOSES WHIPPING POST BAN Decrease in Wife Beating Noted After Recent Flogging Sentence. Special Dispatch to The Btar. BALTIMORE, March 31.—The Crand Jury for Baltimore City, which sent Joseph Kowalskl to trial in the Crimi- nal Court, where he was sentenced to the whipping post for wife beating, went on record yesterday opposing any legisiation which would abolish this form of punishment in Maryland. ‘This action became known when & cial commititee of three members of the grand jury, headed by J. K. Vo- shell, filed a formal report with George C. Buck, foreman, and Judges Eugene O'Dunne and Joseph N. iman, who are now sitting in the two branches of the Criminal Court. In commenting on the report, Judge O'Dunne, who has sentenced the only two men who have been whipped for wife beating in this city in years, de- clared that reports which he has re- ceived from welfare workers reveal that since the Kowalski whipping wife-beat- ing cases have decreased to such a point in the Police Courts as to impress upon him the worthiness of retaining the whipping post feature of the law. He said that jall sentences for such offenses usually cause more suffering to the families of the wife beaters than should be placed upon them. Such sen- tences remove the source of income from the families and create no extreme gndslhcll‘p upon the offenders themselves, e sa THE LIBERTY LIMITED THE GOLDEN ARROW | Swift Lux:;i—ous Flyers to Chicago N addition to fast, rigidly kept schedules, The Gold- en Arrow and The Liberty Limited, leaders of the Penn- sylvania fleet of 9 swift trains to Chicago daily, offer cour- teous service, luxurious ap- pointmentsand savory meals: Swift luxurious flyers to Chicago THE LIBERTY LIMITED Leaves Washington.
