Hagg-ard from three months im prisonment, Mrs. Carrie Simmon.s walked calmly into the courtroom beside her husband, w'ho has in sisted that his wife did not put poison capsules' in chicken sand wiches ^'he served at a family re union fost June. Her daughters, Alice Jean, 10, and Virginia, 14, died of corvvulsions after eating the san(lwiehes. Several other per sons, including Simmons, wealthy farmer of Greenfield, became vio lently ill. A- score of blackbirds, which ate crumbs of the sandwich es after the picnic, died. From her Empress Eugenie hat to her new black oxfords, Mrs. Simmons was clothed in the height of fashion. Her husband bought the clothes in Greenfield and brought them to her in jail here. She paid but the slightest at tention, apparently, to the skir mishes of attorneys in attempting to select a jury. Judge John W. Hornaday rebuked- opposing coun sel frequently, in emphasizing’ that the state had the right to ques tion talesmen as to their feeling toward the death penalty. Mrs. Simmons, has made no statements beyond her categorical denial of guilt. The state has not disclosed what evidence it holds against her. other than the knowl edge that she prepared the sand- ches, Britishers Having Low Salaries Pay Taxes on Incomes LONDON, Sept. 80.—Typists, girl clerks, office boys, street sweepers, bus conductors and housekeepers ai'e now paying in come tax for the first time in their lives, as a result of the new bud- get.

When sold for butter making purposes, this fat is worth $28. In addition there will be left on the farm about 1,600 pounds of skim milk worth 35 cents a hundred pounds. This is excellent for feeding to poultry or hogs and when so fed has a value of $5.60.” In addition to these values, 75 per cent of the plant food in the feedstufFs will go back to the state, says Mr. Randall. The portant thing is- to give the bulbs ample time to develop a good root jsystem before extreme cold weather. The bulbs are set five to six inches deep with each bulb in soL id contact with the soil. Do not leave an air space below the base of the bulb. This checks develop ment of the root system.

This, information yesterday was accompanied by the news that the president would welcome an open fight with big navy men on the issue of ships or savings, the na tion’s taxpayers to be the gladia torial .iudges. I Mr. Hoover was understood to ' be exceedingly resentful of what he feels is an attempt by navy men to dictate how much shall be spent for armaments. If neces sary, it was said, he would be ready to carry the issue to the country at large. Soon after the revelation of the fight came word that: 1— The navy appropriation, which this year was $360,000,000, is to be cut next year, if possible, to $340,000,000. 2— Only five of eleven destroy- authorized by congress will be under construction .this - Of manure and i thus cut down the fertilizer bill, - simple precautions says Mr. Kimrey.

In addition, there is the advantage^ of a steady income each month from the sale of cream.

Un like his puzzling “I do not choose to run” statement in 1928, which left the country guessing for months regarding his real inten tions, the former president’; rent statement is clear and specif ic, and’ of ample length, though it did not mention Mr. Hoover by name. “When I announced my determ ination not to run 'fqr president in 1928, my decision had made a long time. . . . Why. would it be supposed that what I then seeking -to .escape I am seeking to acquire?. . . . “A retired president ought to be an example of loyal support to his successor, “It has long been the practice to give a president in office second nomination. It is a practice that has been beneficial to the country. Any other course is open to grave objections and in dangc. og being attended by serious con sequences. The great safeguard; of order and precedent, or respect for public office, of obed' duly constituted authority, ought not to be weakened. In an gency like the present the respon sible elements of our party should offer a solid front in their sup port of the president. That is the course I propose to pursue.” Mr. Coolidge made no predic tions. His idea was that a presi dent should be given the chance at a second term even if it meant defeat for the party. Party soli darity, loyalty, he said, was essen tial. “Those who are suggesting, un der the present disturbed condi tions in our own country and in the world, that a former president should use his prestige to attempt to secure a nomination against the president of his own party, prob ably have not stopped to consid er fully what would be implied by such a course,” Mr. Coolidge com mented. The statement left Mr. Hoover apparently in an almost impreg nable position a.s.regards renomi nation. His opponents in the party had hoped Mr. Coolidge might be, if not hostile, at least noncommit tal. With that hope gone, with Senator Borah, a hard beiled, if progressive, politician, the only possible opponent of prominence, there was much speculation here whether other big Republicans would not bepnn to climb aboard the Hoover convention wagon.
