EUROPE'S FASHIONS
NOW SENT OVER HERE
First Congress of Modistes
in New York.
WASHINGTON TO BE I'M LINE
Paris and London Milliners to Display
Their Greatest Creations -Secre-
tary Cortelyou to Make Address.

delegation of Washington taiIors
and dressmakers, among whom Will be
Paul Leibel, Leon Pohlman, and A..
Schultz, Will go over to New York this
week 10 attend the congress of mo-
distes in Madison Square Garden The
purpose of the bazaar. so far as II can
be learned here. is to display European
gowns brought over by representatives
OF the best known Partisan and Lon
don dressmakers. Each year American
modistes and tailors go to Europe for
the purpose of selecting their styles
for the coming year.
The order has been reversed this sea
son. and foreign dressmakers have sent
their goods 10 this country. More tbs n
loo gowns have been imported, and viii
be worn BY young women especially en-
gagged
Foreign Displays.
While IT is said that some American
modistes will be represented in the
bazaar. ii is understood that the disnlav
is confined almost exclusively to foreign
dealers. This is the first affair of its
kind ever held in this country. and IL
promises. II the custom continues 10
establish unity in design between
American and foreign dressmakers.
On the other hand. it is believed that
American modistes and tailors will con-
unue to design many of their own pat
terms regardless of the styles sent bv
their foreign competitors.
Another and interesting feature OF tn.
bazaar is an exhibition in hair dressing
according TO the time of the dav and the
costume worn. Otto Adler, delegate
from Partisan dressmakers. will deliver
an address on European fashions.
Addresses will also be made by the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor. Mr.
CorteIyou, and Senator Depew. The
bazaar will continue two weeks.

1t is authoritatively stated at the
State Department that there is abso-
1utely no truth in the cable from Con-
stantinople saying that Minister Leish-
man had asked for the recall of the
American squadron. The State Depart
ment does not intend to ask for a
change of the fleets program.

INTENDANT WINS OUT
BY DELAY IN REPORT
IN ASYLUM INQUIRY
This Believed Certain From Action of Commissioner
West in Sending Papers to Mr. MacFarland.

When the Commissioners announce
their action relative to the investiga-
tion, recently completed, of the affairs
of the Washington Asylum. the public
may expect some unlooked-for develop
ments. AS printed in The Times on
Saturday. there is every reason to be-
lieve that the recommendation of the
Board of Charities will not be adhered
to, and that Intendant Stoutenburgh will
be retained in charge OF the almshouse.
One reason for this statement is that
unusual methods have been adopted by
the Commissioners in considering the re-
port of the investigating committee and
the testimony in the cases. which covers
more than 1000 typewrittten pages. The
report was submitted a few days prior 70
Mr. Vests departure on his two weeks
vacation.
Considered at Leisure.
After reading the report and consult
ing with the committee and the inten-
dant, who was so severely criticised, the
Commissioner determined to take all the
testimony with him and read 1t at his
leisure, so that his action might DC
fair in every particular.
This is unusual in itself, but the con-
lectures to which 1t gave rise were
greatly re-enforced when Commissioners
West, upon his return Saturday. de-
clined 10 discuss the matter and
announced that he would send al
the testimony and other papers in
the case TO Commissioner Macfarland,
who is away on his vacation.
II is accepted by those acquainted with
the existing conditions that some influ-
ences are at work which are not con-
tanned in the published report, and that
the Commissioners do not intend to
abide by the deductions submitted by the
investigation committee of the Board OF
Charities.
It can be positively stated, further
more. that Intendant Stoutenburgh Is
preparing counter charges, which. wher
completed, will arralgn severely the
subordinates OF the asylum, whose testi-
mony. he will aliege. was periured il

INTEREST STILL KEEN
IN PANAHA CANAL
DIR. Herran Sees No Signs
of Indifference.
HOPEFUL OF FAIR SOLUTION
Discredits Press Report That None
Other Than Present Treaty Will
Be Accepted Here.
HOPEFUL OF FAIR SOLUTION

Recent reports that the position of the
United States in the Panama Canal mat
ter is to insist that the present treaty
must be ratified or rejected and that no
substitute measure will be considered
here, are far from correct. according to
DIR. Herran. the Colombian charge
mo such information has been com
municated TO me by the State Depart
ment," said DR.. Herran today, "and
consequently I do not put any faith in
statements 10 that effect. Neither do I
credit the report that the officials of
the department feel no interest in the
present deliberations OF the committee OF
three appointed in Colombia TO suggest
an arrangement of the canal matter on
a basis satisfactory TO the congress and
people there.
Expects Favorable News.
..on the contrary. 1 believe there is
still a hopeful feeling at the department
that a way out Of the present disagsce-
ment may be found. I am expecting
news at any time that the committee
has made its report to Congress. and

"All the indications have been that
the Administration is anxious TO see
the Panama project effected. and that
the officials here have been waiting
most patiently for good news of that
sort.
Developments at Bogota have shown
that there are many men OF many
minds there, and ii is fully realized
here that delay is only natural. in view
of all the circumstances. To say hat

retary. feels no interest in the recent
deliberations of the Colombian congress.

seems to me a criticism entirely un-

WILLIAMS TRYING
: TO RE-ESTABLISH
SEABOARD SYSTEM
President Would Regain
It's independence From
the Rock Island.
BUYING BACK THE STOCK
Story From Norfolk Which
Is Widely Credited in
Washington.
BUYING BACK THE STOCK

Rumors were circulated in the local
serious hitch has occurred in the
negotiations for the control of the Sea-
board Air Line by the Rock Island and
the St. Louis and San Francisco. Just
what the trouble Is, however, no one
seems to know, but it is believed that
the payments for the stock bought have
not been made as agreed.
II is known that President Williams
did not approve OF the sale and that he
intends TO get back the stock, IL he
can. OF all Of his properties, his heart
was most wrapped up in the railroad
That he ever let the control get out Of
his hands was great surprise gen.
orally.
Put on the Market.
1t is intimated that the stock was put
on the market because some of the as
sociates of President Williams had be-
come involved in the troubles OF the
Virginia and North Carolina Chemical
Company. 1t Is now said that these
troubles have passed, and that the rail-
road men can get all of the money they
want
Local men who are familiar with all
these details give much credence to the
reports. but as yet have received no
definite information as to what really
has happened The rumors come from
Norfolk, where the .snerai Offices OF the
company are located.

81 am glad to know that the U. S.
Government engineers have made a

ervoir scheme. The difficulties. if
any, must have been carefully con-
sidered by these competent men,
and their favorable report should in
sure the building of the works.
I'm your editorial of the same
date. you say that certain people
owning ditch rights and supposed
property rights are disposed to hold
up Uncle Sam, and you give notice
that in case they attempt anything
for selfish purposes, which may put
the scheme in jeopardy, they will be
