Chicago, July 3O.-With the semi
annual convention of the National Mil
liners association but a month away,
Chicago milliners and the hat trim
mers of the west are preparing their
displays. The brighter the better"
is the motto in Chicago and vicinity.
and the colors viii range from a bright
scarlet to a deep OK blood. 'Freakish
hats will be worn to a considerable eX-
tent" said Nine. Hunt yesterday.
Some OF the crowns will be tall and
narrow and tapering to the end like
the steeples OF a church. And l wish
you could see one of them on small
women. They make her look like a
fright"
1t will be the hats of chenille and
the hats trimmed with chenille that
will be expensive.
Anywhere from $50 to SIS for the
imported chenilles," said another MILL
ner. But you know the motto of the
hat trimmer"
No"
We'll. a rich woman has no regard
for her pocketbook when her vanity
has been touched"
Then the campaign hats are coming
in for another run this year. Women
take more interest in politics than
formerly and, of course. they want to
display their craftsmanship" said
State street milliner. For instance.
there's the Roosevelt hat. You know
the brown hat % the soldier. It's of
felt and when gathered on one side is
stunning. Then RoOsevelt's been dub
bed the cowboy and a sombrero is
mighty fetching on some women. Not
the great broad brimmed affair OF the
plains, but still a sombrero with a
smaller brim. OF course there will be
a few brass buttons on the soldier hat
and some leather trimmings on the
sombrero. and both viii be popular for

ambition that his daughter should mar
ry Il title of high degree and ally the
family perhaps with some royal house.
But the announcement which appeared
few days ago in Mr.. Astor's Pan
Mall Gazette was of quite different
character from that which this multi
millionaire might have liked to see. 1t
is inferred that Miss AstOr has made her
own choice and that sentimental rea-
sons rather than social ambitions have
influenced her selection of Il husband
for Mr.. Spcnder- Clay's position in So
cicty is not regarded as equal TO her

rich brewer left him Il fortune which
gives him an income of $4,000 a year,
but there IS of course no necessity for
an AstOr to marry for money.
Spender- Clay first acquired notOriety
from Il peculiar scandal with which
he was connected some years ago. He
was dUpcd by a close friend, Lord vii
liam Nevill. into signing notes TO the
amount of over 100000. When the
notes came due, the money lender who
had advanced the funds threatened
suit against SpenderClay. The latter
was obtained by fraud. The incident
led to the conviction of Lord NCyill of
forgery and his Imprisonment. y short
time after this Spcnder-Clay came be-
fore the public again in connection
with the Tagging" or haZing. scan
dals in the Life guards. He was one
of the officers who were charged with
maltreatment of subordinates, and had
TO resign his commission.
Miss Astor is now twenty-four, is
brunette, with n sweet face and pleas
ant manner. She is famous for her
jewels and at drawing room given
by the late Queen Victoria wore
necklace said to have cost 100000 As

Then there is the war hat Japan.
csc straw and Japanese braid were
very popular for the summer hats. and
the milliners were worrying because
they would have no Japanese winter

Rock Island High Salarled President
Resigns.

Chicago, Oct. A tremendous
sensation was sprung in railroad
circles today when L. F. Loree,
head of the Rock Island system.
and the highest salaried railroad
president IN the world, resigned
his position. This is the sensa,
tional elimination of a week of
pickering, in which Loree aud his
methods were pitted against B. +.
Winchell,, the technical head of
the system, and Winchell has
won.
Mr.. LOree, nine months ago,
came to the Rock Island from the
Baltimore & Ohio road, of which
he was president. In order TO in
duce him to make the change, he
was given a cash bonus of $500.
600 and salary of $4,000 per
year, the contract running five
years. 1t is said the MOOres who
own the Rock Island, have been
much dispIeased with the failure
of their plans to make of the sys.
TEN the greatest tonnage power in
history. Following the last annual
report of the Rock Island, which
disclosed a decrease in net earn.
ings, the Moore brothers hastened
to this city to ascertain the rea-
sons. 1t is said they concluded
that LOree made a grievOus mis-
take in applying Eastern methods
to Western conditions
Winchell, who has won this i'm
portant fight, will succeed Mr..
LOree ana be IN command Ot a
system second only in power to
the owners of the road. His
methods and ideas have been OPP
posed to those Of Mr.. LOree from
the start, and it is natural to sup
pose that there will be a complete
reorganization under his manage
ment.
