ALL VERY ATTRACTIVE.

Another is of green velvet, the lovely
shade known as moss, and shows bits OF
gold worked into the trimming bands, with
plumes at the back that include all greens
from the palest to the deepest. A turban,
also of green, is in torpedo shape, and is
made elaborate with lace applique and
feathers. The crown is of felt. the brim of
velvet enriched by appliqued motifs of
heavy cream lace. About the crown is
drapery of black maline with a band OF
black ostrich trimming that rises just above
the brim. At the back this band termi-
mates in tips that curl down over the hair.
Still another is OF shaded green chenille and
shows a green bird at the left side, with
one rosette of shaded green ribbon at each
side of the crown. But, In spite of all these,
black hats are many and are exceedingly
smart. A notable picture model shows the
round, well-defined crown and broad brim
that rolls up at the left side. Round the
crown is a trimming of gold and black
braid and beneath the upturned brim are
knots of the same, while two white plumes
pass over the crown and droop down well
to the neck. Jet, too. Is seen. A hand
some hat, OF similar shape TO this last has
a crown OF jet sequins with brim OF silk
beaver and is trimmed with a single big
plume that starts at the back OF the crown,
where 1t is held by jet buckle. and curls
forward under the upturned brim, its tip
resting at the front. Lace and velvet also
are combined. A beautiful picture model
shows crown or cream Maltese lace, sur
rounded by shirring of black velvet, a
brim of lace edged with velvet. and plumes
that start at the back and curl round the
brim to the front. In fact, many the

white chenille braid and an under brim OF
spangled tulle. At the right side where the
brim rolled was long dropping marabout
feather of black and white. Black and white
models, let me say, are numerous in spite
of the rage for color and always are In
herently elegant. Some exquisite hats of the
picture order show black velvet brims with
motifs Of heavy cream lace let In and are
trimmed with black and white plumes and
others again are Of white with trimmings
of black. All white too is seen and can be
relied upon for evening and carriage wear
the season through. Chiffon will, of course,
appear, but lace is promised first place and
many chiffon velvets with maline and lace
may safely be locker for. AS lovely a gray
hat as any shown me Is entirely composed
of chenille In shades of gray with touches
of white and is trimmed with natural
paradise feather that shades from white to
palest yellow. Touches Of gold. too. are
seen. One most beautiful picture model is
of brown velvet with brown and gold braid
about the crown, brown astrachan braid
edging the brim and two lovely brown
plumes curling about and falling over the
hair.

Ruasia Opposes Zionism.

New York, July 17.-According to the Russian correspondent of a Jewish paper published here. Russia in its efforts to suppress the Zionist movement. will hereafter enoin the promoters from hold ing meetings to advocate their cause and collecting of money. All existing organi- cations will have to dishand and cease their activities. The reason of this atti- tude on the part of the government is ex- plained by the correspondent in a state ment attributed to a member of the Rus sian ministry to the effect that 1t has been found instead of centering all their efforts upon the colonization of the Jews in Palestine, the Zionists have created a world power for the purpose of strength ening their position in the lands where they live"

RAINS PREVENT TROUBLE.
Downpours Cause Scattering of Riot
 ous Strikers.

Chicago. July 17.-The riotous conduct of the strikers of the Kellogg Switchboard Co. and their sympathizers during the last four days, impelled Mayor Harrison to issue proclamation tonight urging all people to remain away from the scene of the trouble and calling on the rioters to cease from their work. The proclama- ton declares that all persons who con gregate near the plant or in any other way interfere with the work of the po- lice, will be promptly arrested and pun ished.
 Heavy rain this afternoon and evening prevented possible trouble by dispersing the mobs and the work of handling freight from the Kellogg plant was not irterfered with as much as on former days,
 The only mix-up of the afternoon oc- cured at Taylor Street and Hermitage Avenue. A large crowd of men and boys, pursuing a wagon load of freight sent out by the Kellogg Company, boarded a street car and ordered the motorman to take them in pursuit of the wagon. The street car men refused to move the car until fares were paid. The crowd abandoned their pursuit of the wagon and lombard ed the car with stones until there was not a pane of glass left in it. The motorman and conductor narrowly escaped injury. A squad of policemen arrived in time to offer them protection.

ROOSEVELT NOT SURPRISED.
The President Has No Statement to
 Make, However.

@dAct 1VWCVoAs
 Oyster Bay. L. l.. July H.-President Roosevelt was not surprised that the Rus- sian Government should decline to re- cefve the B'Nai B'Rith petition or any other representations regarding the Kish- ineff massacre. The policy of Russia had been forecast officially.
 The tone of Russia's declination was re- ceived here last night in a long telegram from Secretary Hay, Toward midnight the President sent to Secretary Hay an extended reply. The contents of neither of the messages ar disclosd, although it is known that the President requested the Secretary to make public the action of this Government respecting the incident.
 President Roosevelt had no statement to make at this time regarding the mat ter. Whatever information the admjnis- tration may care to make public con- corning 1t will be given out by the State Department at Washington.
 It can be said to be absolutely unlikely that further efforts will be made to in duce the Russian Government to receive the petition. It Is certain that after so frank and unequivocal a refusal to re- ceive the petition, Russia would regard the bringing of pressure to bear upon her to induce her acceptance of the represent ation as an act of distinct unfrindliness. As the actual presentation of the petition invoived no question or principle ana suo- stantlaily the result hoped for by the pro- motion of the movement concerning the Kishineff outrages had been achieved by calling Russia's attentlo to the petition the probabilities are that the incident will be considered as closed.
 Plans have been perfected quietly to prevent Mother Jones and her so-called army of textile workers from visiting Oyster Bay. The matter Is in the hands of the Secret Service and the New York Police Department.

BUTLER IS UPHELD.
Interior Department Reverses Hunts
 vile Land Office.


 Washington, July I7-(SpeciaL)-It is not often that the decision of district land office Is reversed by the Department of the Interior, and reversed against the decision of the general land office, and it's own special agent as well. That is the case with Pierce A. Butler, whose en- try in the Huntsville, Ala, land district was held for cancellation by the local of- ficer.
 The general land office approved that decision and an appeal was taken by But Ter to the Secretary of the Interior. As- sistant Secretary of the Interior Ryan gives superior weight to the evidence brought out by Butler. The decision of the local office was based upon the report of special agent that indications were Butler had not occupied the land by res idence and had sold 1t for $6 an acre, and that it was coal land as well. Butler ad- mitted selling the land, but claimed to have complied with the law as to resi- dence and other forms; that he had com muted his entry to cash entry, having sold the land to get the money to make the payment. He had never left the land after entering 1t, he alleges, except for a short time on account of sickness in his family.
 The Secretary's decision allows his en- try to stand.
 The decision of the. Secretary of the In- terior in the case of J. R. Lowe's can cellation entry case, appealed from the Huntsville District, Is affirmed.

MR. LEVI TALKS.
Says the B'Nai B'Rith Movement Has
 Had Good Effects.

New York, July 17-Leon N. Levi, when informed by a representative of the Associated Press of the action of Secre- tary Hay regarding the petition to the CZar of Russia against the massacre of Jews said he had not yet received MT. Hays telegram. However, on the strength of the informtion brought to him by the Associated Press, he made the following statement:
 The answer made by Russia to Secre- tary Hays note Is no surprise to me. While. of couse, 1t was within the range of possibility that the Czar and his min iSters would be moved by considerations of humanity and expediency to courte- ously receive a petition from the Ameri- can people. 1t was well understood that the probabilities were all the other way. The movement. however has had all the good effects that were in contemplation and even more. It has enabled the Amer ican people and the government to make an enduring record of their views of the Kishineff horror. It has brought the em- phatic expression of those views home, not only to the people of Russia. but to the Russian Emperor and his ministers. They have become acquainted with the contents of the petition, not only by see ing it in the press, but also because it's full text was communicated in the note which asked if the original would be re- ceived.
 ''The petition being now an official doc ument and preserved in the archives of the United States and will forever testify to the lofty humanity of the people. which is so splendldly represented by the signers and of the President and his official ad- visers.
 There. too. it will remain as a witness that the friendship of Russia for the United States was not strong enough to permit respectful appeal for religious liberty. made by citizens of this country
 'I am convinced, too, that the influence in Russia of the petition and of the agl- tatton which preceded 1t has been power full and good.
 '"rhe number and character of the sig natures to the petition stamp 1t as n convincing expression of the religious tol- erance and sympathy of the American people. It Is doubtfuD if there has ever been In this country such a representative written expression of opinion. The peo- pie. without regard to racial. religious or political affiliations. have stood behind the President In his manly and humane activity.
 ''The precise method of conveying the petition was never regarded by us as of controlling importance. we deemed 1t best for the interests of this country and of the Jews in Russia to avoid course that would produce unnecessary irritation. II was, therefore. that we upon our own initiative and without any suggestion whatsoever besought President Roosevelt to alter his decision to send the signed petition and to transmit its text instead I cannot be too emphatic in declaring that at no time has there been any dis position on the Presidents part tD chang" the original plan. Every step taken was most satisfactory to us and in accordance Vyif

A WARRANT
 FOR BEAVERS Officers Are Now Looking
 For Him. WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN Evidence Obtained Only in Last Few Days. The Fugitive Formerly Was Chief of the Division of Salaries and
 Allowances and Resigned Some Time Ago.
WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN

Washington, July n.-The issuance of a bench warrant for the arrest of George W. Beavers, formerly Chief In the Di- vision of Salaries and Allowances, In the Postoffice Department, Is the continuation of an investigation into various branches of his department that has been In pro- gress at intervals since his sudden re- signation of the office last spring.
 One of the first results was the cancel -iation' of 3.O46 promotions that had been passed on by him, to take effect at post offices throughout the country during the present fiscal year.
 The case on which the presentation to the grand jury is based. 1t is said. is more recent development.
 past two or three days that the evidence was finally secured that furnished a basis for action by the Federal grand jury. Chief Postoffice Inspector Cochran and Inspector Waiter s. Mayer of Chi- cago, who worked up tne case against Au- gust W. Machen. the former head of the Free Delivery service, have figured con- spicuously in obtaining the evidence.
 Searching for Beavers.
 The authorities are now searching for MT. Beavers to place him under arrest. His present whereabouts is unknown. The postoffice officials were chagrined to learn of &he publicity given the action of the grand jury in advance of the serving of the warrant. They regarded the news as premature and declined to discuss the matter on the ground that the time was not yet ripe to make a statement. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow conferred with several of his assistants immediately after he learned that the &C., ton of the grand jury had become known. Subsequently, he refused to answer all nlIestiona on the subject.
 The Postoflce Department today made public the following:
 There seems to be a wide misunder- standing as to the present attitude of the Department regarding rural free delivery. The statement has been published gener- ally, particularly In the West. that rural routes that do not handle 5000 pieces of mail month and supply 100 families, are to be discontinued It Is not the purpose of the Department to disturb routes already established unless they are manifestly unnecessary. There are now on file in the Department petitions for more routes, that will supply more than 100 families, than can be established with the present appropriations. This being the case the Department does not feel it wise, equit- able or just to establish a route sup plying less than 100 families to the ex- clusion of routes that will supply more than 100 families, the greatest good to the greatest number being the fundamental principle on which every route is estab- lished

EPWORTH LEAGUERS
NO LEssENINa OF ENTHUsIAsM
 AT DETROIT.
Dr. HamiIl of Nashville Says 1nstiii the Grace of Christ in the Blacks and Thus Decrease
 Mob Law.

Detroit, July 17.-There was no lessen ing of enthusiasm among the Epwortn Leaguers tonight and tent Ontario Auditorium Epworth, the Detroit opera House and Central M. E. Church where tonight's meetings were held were crowded again.
 .sThe field near at hand," ''The field far away and My part in the worlds evanRelization" were the topics or the evening at all four meetings.
 pr. H. M, Hamill of Nashville, Tenn. talked on "The field near at hand" at the tent meeting and his address referred to the negro question. "We have made the negro" he said. "a thing to be batted to and fro by political parties and we have forgotten his religion in large measure. What we need is to spend more time in putting the grace of Christ Tn the hearts of the black people. What we need to do to solve the negro problem ts to transform any instinct of savagery that may exist in the few of that race, in order to stop the lighting of faggots and the rasing of stakes. It Is our only hope. And when you of the North write resolutions condemning mob law remem- Der that 1t is not Methodist hands that pull the ropes and light the fires"
 At the Central Church Rev. J. 8. French of Chattanooga made the address on "The field at home." He said:
 Our cities are the great problem. Here are the rich and the poor, the native and the foreign born, the black and white in closest proximity, very different kinds of soil, which must be worked in different ways. The most neglected people on earth today are the rich men and women of our cities and we need, while laying plans for the elevation of the submerged tenth, more truthfully. the nine-tenths, to remember that to all the Masters words are applicable, 'Ye must be born again.
 City missionaries. deaconesses and in- stitutional churches will go long ways if used plentifully."
 In the Auditorium, Rev. M. N. Wal drup of Bentonville, Ark, was chairman, and Rev. A. B. Leonard of New York spoke on "The Field Far Away"
 Referring to the negro question, he said: whether 1t be Englishman, Frenchman, Turk German or Portugese that makes conquests in Africa, the Af- rican is his helpless victim. Nor Is Amer lea free from the shame and sin of op- pressing and cruelty treating the children of Ham. Brought here without their con- sent as human merchandist. liberated af- ter two centuries of slavery by the exi- gencies of war, they are now outcasts so- cially and politically and often denied the right of trial by jury, they are shot or hanged or burned at the stake, both in the North and in the South. American Christians must see to 1t that the negro shall have a fair chance in the race of life in America, and also do their utmost to give him the Gospel in his native land"
