NEW YORK, Oct. To take the liquor

more; to leave drink alone forever, $4,000
a wear for life-that was what Marvin Dut
ton. of Poughkeepsie, offered his son,
Gould NJ Dutton, and last night the young
man started in to win the prize. closed
carriage brought him to the private en-
trance to Bellevue. and five minutes later
he was patient in the alcoholic ward,
ready to begin.
It was dark when young Dutton came.
With him in the carriage was his friend.
an assistant to DR.. Frank c. Hollister, OF
264 West Seventy seventh Street. When
the orderly heard who 1t was and what was
wanted, he summoned DR.. Richards, who
has charge of the alcoholic ward.
This gentleman" said the physician,
wants to go to the alcoholic ward to be
cured AS he spoke he handed DIR. Rich
ards letter to the superintendent. This
resulted in an order to let the carriage go
around to the private entrance, and the
new patient was admitted so that no
strangers saw him. His step tottered and
his eye gaZeQ around MIN Vacantiy ct on
his features were stamped refinement and
intelligence.
But even influence at Bellevue cannot
hide some things. The young man was
compelled to give his name and those of
his parents, just as the poorest do. He
gave his name as Gould M. Dutton, thir
ty-two years old, married, of 800 West Fiji
ty-third Street" The address was found
to be simply a boarding place where the
young man had stopped when he came to
the city to reform. The physician with
him told the rest of the story.
Young Dutton,' said he has beautl-
full wife, who loves him dearly, but drink
has estranged her. His father, loves him,
too and has offered him $4,000 to come
here and $4,000 more if he keeps sober
a week after he leaves If he can demon
strate that he will remain sober afterward
he can have an income of $4,000 year
and his fathers blessing"
At present the buttons are living apart.
But if the young man is resolved to let
drink alone his wife has promised to re-
turn to him That's the reason l came, -
explained young Dutton as he disappeared
within the recesses of the alcoholic ward,
ready TO begin the process of SOLDERING up
forever.

SHIPPING TRUSTS IN ENGLAND.
Charges of Monopoly Made by "a Lon
don Journal.

Consul Marshal Halstead, of Birming-
ment the following article from the Lon
don sChronicle" which ne says gives the
facts of the way the British shipping
trust Injuries British trade:
'The board of trade has undertaken to
make an enquiry into the effect of the ship
ping rings upon our trade. The ring, or
conference as it is also called, is COM
bination of two or more lines Of ships to
control the freights on a particular ocean
trade route line-in other words to secure
monopoly of a particular freight market
for the benefit of the members of the ring.
This system is SO widely extended that
there are few ocean trade routes of impor-
tance which are not in the grasp of a COM
bination of the kind and the result is seen
not merely in the artificial enhancement
of frefghts from British ports, but in the
preferential rates given to foreign COM
petitors with British traders at foreign
ports.
'The ring may not be designed with that
object but its result is to give the Ger
man and other continental and American
traders a tremendous pull in the markets
Of Asia and Africa by reason of the cheap
ness of freights granted to them for the
carriage of their goods by the same steam
ers as carry the goods of the Englishman
at very much greater rates. This system
is pursued by mail companies which re-
ceive subsidies from the home and coloni-
al governments, and have NOT apparently a
keen sense OF their obligations.
''The present position is that the British
shipper to South Africa has to pay a much
larger freight from his own ports by Brit
ish lines than the German manufacturer
or shipper has to pay at German ports by
the same lines.
The members of the ring while they
were charging high rates to the British
exporters were actually loading steamers
in America for South American ports and
running them a longer distance at lower
rates.
"Supposing England produces an article
as cheaply as America, we are bound to
go to America for it, because of the def
cit in the freight rates. If we buy goods
at the same price in America as we do in
England and land them 10 TO Is per cent
cheaper can we go to England for them?'

THE INDIANS COMPLAINT.
A Creek Delegation Here to Have th'
Curtis Act Modified.


The visit of delegation of Creek In
dians to the Interior Department this week
is not likely to prove beneficial TO them
The delegation was headed by Chief Ho-
tul-ku Ho-ho-lo and it wants the Govern
ment to ignore the Curtis act and to re-
enforce the original treaty entered into by
the Government and the Creek Nation dur
ing the Administration of John Quincy
Adams in 1926.
Secretary Hitchcock is in the West with
the President and he did not see the dele
cation, but the matter was referred by the
department to Major Larrabee, Chief of
the Indian Division, who heard the com
plants and demands of the Creeks.
Through SANDY" Johnson, the interpreter,
Chief Ho-tul-kee Ho-ho-lo said that since
the adoption of the Curtis act the Creek
Nation had been deprived of many rights,
and that whites and negroes had encroach-
ed on the lands of their nation.
The Curtis act abolshes tribal court
trials, tribal legislation, and the holding of
lands in common. Trials are now con-
Quoted by the Government courts, the leg
islation is enacted by Congress, and land
is held in severalty. The Indians have
been dissatisfied since the present law was
enacted, and they have been so urgent in
asking that it be abrogated that the In
terror Department has prepared an agree
ment for the Creeks to enter into which
modifes some of the provisions of the
Curtis act.
The proposed agreement allows tribal
government and trials in a modified way.
but all acts of the tribal legislature un-
der the proposed agreement must be rat
flied by the President. The tribal courts
have no jurisdiction in capital cases, and
the agreement provides specially that
Congress does not abrogate its power to
make laws for the government of the ma
ton. Provision is also made for the leas-
ing OF lands by the Creeks.
Major Larrabee informed an Evening
Times reporter today that the complaints
of the delegation headed by Chief Ho- tul-
kee Ho-ho-lo will not be presented to Sec
retary Hitchcock. He said the Interior
Department is powerless TO act in the mat
ter, and that the only relief the Indians
can get must be obtained from Congress-
If Congress ratifes the proposed agree
ment, the Creeks, he. believes, will be sat
isfid. Major Larrabee will communicate
in writing these views to the delegation.

origin of Famous Fashions.


1t is a singular fact in the history
OF fashions that not a few of the more
famous Of them owe their origin to
the endeavor to conceal a personal de-
feet or deformtty Of some distin-
guished leader Of society. Patches were
invented In England in b reign Of
Edward vi. by a foreign lady, who in
this manner ingeniously covered a wen
on her neck. Full bottomed wigs were
invented by an ingenious French bar
Der for the purpose Of concealing an
unnatural protuberance on the should
er of the Dauphin. Charles VII. OF
France introduced long coats to hide
his ill-made legs. Shoes with very
long points, fully two fee IN length,
were invented by Henry P~lantagenet.
Duke of Anjou, to conceal a large ex-
cresence on one of his feet. When
FrzHcis L. vas obliged to wear his
hair short, owing to a wound he re-
ceived in the head, short hair at once
became the fashion at his court. As a
set-off to the examples quoted, we
may note that, not to conceal, but to
display, her charms, the beautiful Isa-
bella of Bavaria, introduced the fash
ion of leaving the shoulders and part
Of the neck uncovered, in order to
show the remarkable fairness Of her
skin

A June Brides GOWN.

Whatever else can be said in favor of
summer bridal gowns, it cannot be
truthfully asserted that they are mex
pensive. The idea is to have them as
ethereal and fairy1ike Is possible, and
thi means a small fortune. In a mar
velously beautiful bridal gown design
ed for a Newport heiress b tradition
al saying, Something old, something
new, something borrowed and some
thing blue is originally carried out
The gown consists OF an overdress of
fine organdie, so delicate that it looks
like a mist. This is worn over a lining
of thin silk which is itself lined with
Oriental blue silk. The organdie and
white silk being partly transparent,
the blue casts a tint to the gown that
is indescribab1e. The front of the skirt
is embroidered with white ribbon,
while the sides and back are covered
with vertical ruf1es Of narrow, Valen-
ciennes lace. The bodice has a yoke
of guipure from which turn back re-
vers trimmed with lace ruf1es. The
