Kaiser Has Adopted New Color for
German Army. =

BERLIN. January 7.-Since Emperor Will
liam saw Gems. COrbin. Young and Wood In
their new uniforms at the German army
maneuvers In September 1902. the army
clothmakers of this country have been ex-
perimenting with similar shades. and have
produced a blend between straw color and
light olive green. which will presently be
substituted for dark blue throughout the
army as the uniforms of privates and non
commissioned officers The cloth had been
tested for a year. under service conditions,
for wear and cleanliness. It was found in
the last summer maneuvers that the new
uniforms are scarcely distinguishable at a
distance from dry stubble or grass. It will
be three or four years before the present
uniforms entirely dis rpo1r. as the govern
ment has upward OF 100000 old uniforms
in stock, though the greater part of these
have seen service.
The German government is the largest
ready-made clothes manufacturer In the
world. turning out 100000 to $4,000 uni
forms per year. the exact number depend
ing on the weather.

MAUD s. OR LOU DILLON.
Question Raised as to Which Holds
the Record

NEW YORK. January 7.-Record- break
Ing performances engaged the attention to-
day of the Joint conference committee OF
the National Trotting Association. the
American Trotting Association and the
American Trotting Register Association.
The record of Lou Dillon was taken up, and
Thomas B. Armitage asked for a ruling on
wind shields
Mr.. Bonner read his written protest to
the Register Association. maintaining that
Lou Dillon's record of 2O5 at Cleveland,
September II. 1903. should not supersede
Maud SIS mark of 2.osz. made on the same
track eighteen years ago. He contended
that the sulky to which Lou Dillon was
hitched had ball-bearing axles and that she
travelled behind wind shield. He insisted
thet the record purporting to be made to
hish-wheeled sulky by Lou Dillon against
Maud SIS performa nee should not stand as
Lou Dillon did not perform under the same
conditions did Maud s.
Charles 8. Tanner of Cleveland answered

NDoRsED NOTE TO briggs.
Cashier Woodward Testified in the
Postal Frauds Case.

NEW YORK. January THE trial OF
former Representative briggs. under In
dictment for completely in the postal frauds
was resumed in the United States court
before Judge Thomas in Brooklyn today.
Frank E Woodward. cashier of the First
National Bank of Watertown, Wis, tes1-
fed that In May 1899. at Washington. he
Endorsed the S125O0 note briggs Is alleged
to have received. Thirty-three drafts drawn
in favor of the fraudulent Company
which Woodward signed were also identi-
fed
In the opening of the trial yesterday Rob-
ert NJ. Dent of WATERFOWL. Wis, secretary
and treasurer of the Brandt-Dent Com
pany, identified one OF the company's auto
matte cashiers, which. he said. they had
been manufacturing since 1897. Many OF
them had been sold to the Post Office,
Treasury and Navy Departments. In 1898
the company began to deal with the Post
Office Department, and had sold that de-
partment over six hundred machines.
The witness knew of the contract for 30
machines involved in the Indictment, and
first heard of IL about the time the order
was given. He said that George F. Miller,
whose name figures in the minutes in con-
nection with the s12, 500 note. was the COM
pany's agent specially appointed to look
after the government business.
Miller testified that thirty-nine machines
had been given to the government on trial,
and that he had tried for six months to
make sale. He first met the defendant in
Washington, in March. 1899. Asked what
the defendant was doing, he said he was
making a speech on the floor of Congress. -
When the witness was asked later about
the $1,000 Mr.. Hirsch sprang to his feet
and asked. Are you not satisfied when we
admit We got the money? We did, and do
not deny it.
This admission brought the point to be
settled down to whether or not briggs was
congressman within the meaning of the
law when he got the commission.
On crosS-eXamination Miller testified that
briggs had not discussed the sale of the
cash registers to the government till his
term OF office had expired. The trial will
be continued today.

by Sharp Reaction.

NEW YORK, January 7.-Cables were
better than expected by several points to-
day and paved the way for firm opening

started at an advance of CALI points ON

of buying by commission houses on wire

diately following the opening call the mar
ket ruled irregular and lower under real
izlng. and by 1920 a. m. was dozen points

The ruin OF a student at Brown Univer-

It is not too much to say that such cpl

Women rs Lawyers.
From Harper's Weekly.

Today women are admitted to the bar on
equal terms with men In thirty-four states
Of the Union. Woman Is Intellectually as
capable of studying law as man. There Is
nothing to deplore In the tendency Of wo-
men to enter the law. They lose thereby
neither charm nor any true womanly char
acter: no study or training can change a
genuine woman to anything else-she will
be after. as she was before, the same genu-
Inc woman. AS far as education Is con-
cerned. woman is in the law to stay, and
the world will be the better for 1t. New
York University has regular law course
for women. and has graduated some sixty
eight with the degree OF bachelor Of laws.
The work OF these women In the law school
Is generally excellent, and in some cases
brilliant.
