SUNBONNET AND SHORT
- SKIRTS NOW THE FAD

Newport, r. l., Sept 24-The sum
bonnet and the short. skirt, with waist,
is the latest walking costume for young
married women here. Mrs. Lawrence
Waterbury achieved distinction by the
innovation. She seemed immensely
pleased with the sensation her appear
ance created
"Who is the little dcar?" chirped
Harry Lehr when he saw dainty
vision in white enter the tennis courts
at the Casino When he caught a
glimpse of the face beneath the sun
bonnet he hurried over to congratulate
Mrs. Waterbury.
f The most daring and picturesque
stunt of the season. he said, and from
Lehr that was a compliment.
! Mrs. Waterbury is just above me-
dunn height. The effect of her white
skirt was startling 1t would have beerr-
six inches above her shoe tops, had
she worn shoes, but her dainty feet were
.encased in white canvas ties. Her stock
ings of white silk came in view gener-
ously. The skirt material was of white
canvas and her shirt waist of flimsy
silk peekaboo. About her laughing face
hung the truffled edges of sunbonnet
of thin white linen If her hair had
been worn in curls Mrs. Waterbury
would have passed for a girl of I6.

TO BE INCOMPETENT

New York, Sept. 24.--The local board
of steamboat inspectors finds that the
officers and crew of the Slocum were
responsible for the deaths of the 8so
persons losing their lives and do not
find the owners responsible in any way.
They say that the investigation has been
thorough, but admit they could not get
the evidence of Coroner Berry, New
York, John Peas, captain port Of the
Knickerbocker company, and the owners
of the Slocum. The board reyokcs the
licenses of Captain Van Schaick, Pilot
VanWert and Chief Engineer Conklin.
The charge is that the life prcservers
were worthless, being filed with powder
ed cork, and that the crew was ignorant,
undrillcd and incompetent.

City Attorney Newman Has Some odd Requests

"A man came to me the other day
and asked that I, as city attorney,
take steps to condemn dog which
had bitten him." said Attorney Seth
Newman The man displayed pair
of damaged trousers and a hand
which the dog had evidently mistaken
for a piece of choice porterhouse.
However, i could do nothing for
him owing to the fact that we have
no ordinance under which to proceed.
Several. years ago the dog tax ordi-
nance was repealed and another or
dinarce relating to CANNES has new
er been passed"
Mr.. Newman has his hands full
now in refrarning old and faulty ordi-
nances and in preparing for the legal
battle which will soon be commenced
when the suit is started over the re-
assessment Of property for street inn
