CARE or The WARDROBE.


sono Suggestions About b PUTTING Ava,
Of Summer Einery.
Il Is an accepted fact among
women, founded upon good reason;
that when ones belongings are ya.a'
able and costly the services Of q maid
are not a luxury, butfa necessity and
really an economy, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Delicate fabrics need
great care Ia handling and preserving
and dne boots. shoes gloves and
handkorchiefs are not 70 be tossed
about c~arelessly and still preserve
their freshness. But without a maid
and with q comparatively simple
wardrobe q need OF care even will be
found a great protection.
In putting away summer wash
dresses they must be rough dried,
then folded neatly and packed in q
box or trunk by themselves. 1t IL
an excellent idea to 10 w each one

Hart and his posse had traced the out

day, being sure of their quarry, they sur
rounded the farmhouse, and were sur

Hart, who laid him low with Win

reached his side.
The house was searched and over $50
letters, besides numerous rolls of bank
bills, were found. proving him to be Bill
Dalton, and also proved him to be the
leader of the Longview bank robbers.
The remains were brought to this city,
and when his wife was told he was dead
she became hysterical. There was re-
ward of several thousand dollars on Dali

has wired to Longview that he has posi-

killed, and that he committed the rob-
berry.

she was born in Merced County, Cal,

ARMoR PLATE FRAUDS.
A. Naval officer Testifies Before the
Investigation Committees


Investigation Committee.
WASHINGTON, June s. - Lieutenant
Albert Ackerman of the navy was heard
to-day by the House Committee on Armor
Plate Frauds. He was one of the Naval
Board which investigated the first charges
of fraud. His evidence covered in detail
the irregularities in treating specific
armor plates. He had heard that Super
intendent Schwab and other officials and
employees had had an interest in the Car
negie Company, and had therefore
motive for passing plates not up to the
standard. He told of the manner in
which his suspicious had been excited as
to the Irregularities of the work. He
found that certain lines of work would be
stopped when he entered shop. One of
the Superintendents. Mr.. Kylne, had
misled him on various details of the
work. His own experiments and the
atIidavits of informers had corroborated
his suspicious, and he assessed damages
against the company as a result of his
own knowledge and suspicious.
Ackerman told of the investigation of
the second or supplemental charge. This
testimony developed new branch of ir-
regularity as to the manipulation of
testing machine used by the Carnegie
Company. The machine was operated
so as to give false figures. Disclosures
were also made as to serious defects in
two plates of the Monterey and one in
the Machias. Lieutenant Ackerman
said blowholes were positive defect,
and could be avoided. In this his state
ment differed from the other naval OIL
