GRACE 50,000 DOCK WORKERS, ON STRIKE, REFUSE TO OBEY PEACE ORDERS LONDON, July 29. Fifty thousand striking dock workers today defied their leaders and refused to obey the hitters’ command to return to work. But 50<i of all the men affected appeared for work this morning. Extra police guards were thrown about al! the docks and heavy forces were held in reserve for riot duty. The strikers declared their intention to pre vent work being resumed at any cost. Members of the sailors and firemen's unions today determined to ballot whether or not they would return to work. A similar course will be adopted by the stevedores. Both organizations will abide by the result of the votes, regardless of the Instructions of the general strike com mittee. The majority of the members of both unions arc said to favor fighting to a finish, declaring that quick starva tion. If such be the penalty of continu ing the strike, would be preferable to the squalid slavery, that the working conditions offered by the ship masters would force on them.

More curls, more puffs, more braids two yards for each woman and it must all be artificial. This Is the style order issued by the hairdressers in convention in Chicago. It is no longer considered a source of embarrassment to have your next-door neighbor mention that you use false hair. It is a sign of being behind the’ times if you do not have several yards of art itleial hair. At the hairdressing exhibit held in the Windy City last week each of the t.n handsome models had on an aver age of two yards of artificial hair on i each coiffure That Is. if the puffs and curls and braids were placed end to end they would total a length of six i feet. 1 The headdress worn by Miss Louise - Crawley, the ‘plume switch coiffure," t had five feet eight inches, the height of - an ordinary person, of artificial hair in t its arrangement. I The a. roplane twist” and the "Eiffel - tower knot" were the types of head dress requiring the extra six feet of a hair. It was announced also that the marcel wave Is coming back. First Clash Comes When Defense Re fuses to Reveal Names of Witnesses. Accused Woman Worn, but Smiling. One Jury Panel Quickly Exhausted as Hundreds Clamor for Entrance to Stiflingly Hot Courtroom. Mrs. Daisy Opie Grace, calm and expressionless, took her seat in the prisoners' dock of the superior court today, defendant in perhaps the most remarkable criminal trial in the annals of Fulton county. Her husband, Eugene H. Grace, forgetting the pain of his old wound in the vindictiveness of his feelings toward his wife, was on his way from Newnan to attend the trial even though he must needs be borne into the courtroom on his cot. The first clash between the state and defense seemed to support the insistent rumors of sensations to come. Attorney Rosser, of Mrs. Grace’s counsel, absolutely refused to divulge the names of his wit nesses, despite the demands of Solicitor Dorsey. Mr. Rosser announced that none of his witnesses were in the court room. Mrs. Grace entered a few moments later, worn but smiling, and the sensational trial was in swing. The courtroom, on the fourth floor of the Thrower building, held hardly more than 100 persons, and the narrow winding stair was crowded with hundreds who had failed to gain admittance and who hunff outside to catch such shreds of news as might drift from the tri bunal. In the street outside were other hundreds, gathered to catch a glimpse of the woman who has been in the spotlight of notoriety since March 5 and of the wounded man alleged to be her victim. Extra Police Handle Big Crowds An extra detail of police was on duty in the street long before the hour of the trial came. There was no effort to delay the trial. Indeed, both sides have for weeks been ready and waiting for the new term to begin. For the state, Solicitor-General Hugh M. Dorsey and Lamar Hill were ready to present the chain of circumstantial evidence which had been forged for the prosecution. For the defense. .John W. Moore, James A. Branch and Luther Z. Rosser announced their readiness to proceed. The question in the mind of every person in the courtroom was ' What will be the line of the defense?” For. while it is not neces sary for the defense to prove Mrs. Grace’s innocence it was felt that the attorneys would seek something more than a mere “failure to con vict,” and would offer evidence actually to prove that their client did not shoot her husband, perhaps even naming some hitherto un considered person as the actual criminal. Upon the state rests the whole burden of the proof, and the state's attorneyc are heavily handicapped in the contest. For the law which forbids a husband to testify against his wife leaves the prosecution with purely cir cumstantial evidence to present to the jury, evidence without an eye witness to verify it. And those who have read the history of the crime ami criminal cases know how difficult it is to persuade a jury to convict on circumstantial evidence, especially when a wo man's lite or liberty is at stake. Up To The State To Establish Case. The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Daisy Grace fired the shot which wounded her husband. It must remove every other hypothesis. It must estab lish a motive. It must prove that the wound was calculated to kill the victim. It must prove that malice existed toward the wound ed man on the part of the de fendant. Hut Mrs. Grace need prove nothing. If her counsel feel satisfied that the state has not presented to the jury such a chain of evidence as to warrant a conviction, they may smile and rest their ease wholly upon the weakness of the state, wit'mut placing their client on the witness stand. And if she takes* the stand in her own defense, she can not be bound by the oath which all witnesses g'vc. She is permitted by law *o make hei’ statement without an oath, and the Jury is Instructed to ac cept or reject any portions of her evi- Iden ;e ’hey see lit. The charite .gainst Mrs. Grace as sault with intent to commit murder—is 1 tXTRA 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE £ A o v RE N 0 a felony, for which a prison term of from two to ten years is provided in the code. If sue is acquitted of the c harge, she can never be tried again, even thougn Grace should die. Grace’s Mother On Hand Early. The court room, a narrow, low-ceiled chamber, was filled from the rail to the wall, with many standing. Deputies labored hard to make the standing ones take seats or leave, and soon the nar row aisles were full of men sitting on their heels. At the left of the Judge sat a host of witnesses for the state, among them relatives of Eugene Grace. A half dozen women were in the partv in cluding Mrs L. S. Hill, of Newnan, Grace's mother. It was stifling hot. as all the doors were closed against the crowd outside, and Mrs. Hill looked wan and faint in the humid atmosphere Soon the air became almost fetid from the exhaustion of from 200 pair of lungs, and it was evident that the trial would be an ordeal for every one in tho court room and not for Mrs. Grace alone. The elevator leading to the court room was so loaded with passengers who went up, only to eotne down again, that it soon stopped its trips at the floor below. Thousands tramped up the dark and narrow stairs in the hope of gaining entrance to the room, only to be turned back by stern deputies at the door. Angry altercations in the hall outside floated into the room and add ed to the confusion already there. Mrs. Grace With Her Loyal Mother. Mrs. Grace, who had left her home in West End and come to the court house early in the day. did not appear in the court room in the first hour of the hearing. She was closeted in an other room with her mother, Mrs. Mar tha Ulrich: Mrs. Louise Wilson, her nurse and companion, and another friend. More than an hour was exhausted tn selecting four panels of twelve men each fur the first panels from w hich the Jury of twelve Is to be drawn. There
