NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Lady's Dressing Sack Designed by
Martha Dean-No 6275

The old idea OF the dressing sack was
one that hung loosely and clumsily on the
figure. This has been supplanted within
the last few years by shapely garment
that is not only dainty and pleasing to the
eye, but affords great amount Of COM
fort to the wearer as well. Most Of the
sacks are made on very simple lines. with
large fancy collars, where elaboration in
the way Of ribbons. laces and embroidery
runs riot In the decoration. These little
feminine details Of the toilet are not only
pleasing to my ladyship. but surely meet
with approval from the man of the house.
who proyerbially loves fuffs. frills and
furbelows The foundation OF the design
shown Is finished with tucks In both front
and back, which give ample width to the
body portion. The round collar may be
made as illustrated or in two sections
with back the same as front Any mate
rial Is suitable for such a design. Sizes,

Il. B. STICKNEY'S VIEWS.
FaUOrs Government Rate Firing
Free Pass Sgstem Criticised.

Washington, May IA B. stckney, president of
the Chicago Great Western Railroad has filed with
the Senate Committee Interstate Commerce
statement in favor Of giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission power to fix rates He says that
the commission would be the most satisfactory
arbter possible. Speaking of rebates. he says that
since the njunctioas, the traffic directors have
stopped paying rebates grain shipments, but IN
lieu thereof have paid elevator fees which Is an
other way Of giving rebates" A government COM
mission, he says, would be untrammeled by com
petition or a desire to secure tonnage for any
particular line, and could frame equitable
schedule. Mr.. Stickney thinks the commission
should be allowed to fix minimum as well maxi
mum rates, Determinations could not be pre-
vented He criticised the free pass system. saying:

but desire rate for the benefit of their particular
localities. They did not alege that rates too
high but that they TOO low for some
else" Mr. Ramsey referred TO the railroad dis
aster at South Harrisburg, and cited the faog that
the freight train which caused the wreck Of the
express was equipped with airbrakes as showing
that in spite of all precautions accidents would
happen.
4 number of shippers testified in opposition to
giving the commission power to fix rates Nearly
all of them said the railroads treated them fairly
and they lid not desire government interference.
In the discussion Senator Newands said he was
oppOsed to government ownership Of railroads.

.Saus Railroads Are Not Opposing

Washington May 12-In an interview to-day
Samuel Spencer president of the Southern Kali

the proposed legislation for government feeuIa-

There is division of opinion as to the desira-
bilty of stopping all secret unjustly discrimlna-

the part of the carriers that If evils in transporta
