CoIqrave Principal Witnesses.

After the morning session at the
penitentiary yesterday an adjourn
ment of three hours was TAX
en-, the inquiry being resumer
at the Hotel Dacres at 8 o'clock
Some little delay was occasioned in
subpoenaeing witnesses who had failed
to answer the first summons. The
sensation of the afternoons session
was when David De Witt, resident
of Green's Annex just outside of the
city limits, denied the statement that
Warden KEGS had asked him to move
into the first ward and vote at the
last city election.
Before De Witt was subpoenaed, At
torney J. H. Mcdonald stated to the
board that ne expected to show by the
witness that the warden, preceding
the last election had approached De
Witt had asked him to move into the
first ward and vote. When DE witt
was placed on the stand he entered an
emnhatic denial to the whole thing and
aven denied that he had ever told any
one such a story. Before De Witt was
sworn. Assistant Attorney General Nc
Donald objected to his testifying on the
ground that it was immaterlal TO the

Assistant Attorney General McDon-
aid gave a lucid account of the ma
ture Of the investigation of the charges
against Warden KEGS by the board of
control and the incidents that led
up to Mr.. Rupp being cited to ap-
pear on contempt charge. He cited
a California case identical in point
with the present case, in which the
California legislature, investigating
charges against it's own members on
accepting bribery charges, had re-
quested a managing editor and his
assistant to impart the source of
information for an article appearing
in their publication. In this case the
newspaper men were held and pun
ished for failing to answer the ques-
tions propounded-
Notwithstanding the decision of the
California court, Judge Brents held
that he had no authority to require Mr..
Rupp to answer the questions put TO
him. In rendering the decision the
court took occasion to hand newspa-
ger men in general bunch" regard

it had no authority to force Rupp to

Immediately after the dismissal of
the case, Assistant Attorney General
Mcdonald gave notice that he would
appeal the decision. Rupp was rep
resented by Mcdonald & Rupp and
Attorney Oscar Cain. The defense

that he had additional evidence that

was asked to produce the evidence
that would substantiate the allegation.
He admitted that he was not present
at the preliminary hearing of the
prison guards in the superior court
and that his other evidence was hear
say. Assistant Attorney General Nc
Donald then asked the witness if he
had any other evidence to intro
duce at this hearing. He replied not
unless Warden KEGS placed wit

fense. In this event he said that he
might wish to introduce rebuttal evil

out, however, and she was allowed
to go after a few questions had been
asked.

enough almost to cover the trousers
More popular even than the Russian
blouse trousers suit are the overalls
worn alike by boys and girls, which are
also made of heavy dark colored wash
materials and in which the youngsters
find the greatest comfort and liberty.
In order that there should be no care
attached to the dressing of child
there should be an adequate supply Of
garments of all kinds prepared at the
beginning of the summer. dozen
fyocks without particle of trimming
are better If economy must be consid-
cred than half dozen frocks each one
of which is twice as costly as the items
making up the dozen. There are two
reasons why this should be so. In
the first place, absolute cleanliness Is

shirring through the center and pushed
UP toward the shoulder and finished
with stiff band and below the band
a ruffle pleated and gathered.
Combining different materials helps
immensely in making the sleeves at
chiffon cloth used anywhere else on
the gowns then it can be used in the
sleeves. A crepe de chine gown with
chiffon fichu has the puffs of the sleeve
made of chiffon, the band of the crepe
de chine and the ruffle finishing the
sleeve of the chiffon. If velvet or
satin or silk is used for trimming on
the gown band of the same below the
puff and shirred top is most satisfac-
tory. Especially attractive is this same
fashion when the gown is trimmed
with embroidered bands. these same
bands on the sleeve forming the best
possible kind of finish. On muslin
gowns the band may be of ribbon, with
lace or embroidery in entredeux and
the ruffle can either be of lace or the
material of the gown.
Bands of shirring and putting are
greatly in favor for all thin gowns. No
matter how elaborate the design 1t does
not seem to suffer in being shirred and
puffed; rather does it gain thereby,
and while lace and embroidery in entire
deux adds greatly to the beauty of a
thin gown the shirrings and puff1ings
on the lawn gowns, and in truth the
smar rtest gowns of the season, are a
mass of puffings, shirrings and lace
entredeux, all the work being done by
hand and of the finest description.
Such gowns as these, made of the
finest lawn, null and organdie, are of
necessity costly but the demand for
them is so great as to make it difficult
to supply,
Stripes and checks are immensely
fashionable in all materials intended
for useful wear, but are not thought so
smart for the more elaborate styles.
For afternoon wear in all fabrics the
plain or figured effects are the ones
chosen, and after all there does seem
to be something practical in this hav-
ing different patterns for different
models, for the materials suitable for
summer wear must needs be the same.
The checked mohairs and veilings are
charming, but equally charming are
the plain. Checked and figured tas-
fetas are attractive. Plain taffetas in
light colors are quite as attractive and
can be so made up as to have much
more elaborate appearance.
For the palmer goods, or, to speak
more correctly, for the simpler style
of gown, the severe trimmings are the
best-bias bands of taffeta. a velvet
ribbon or fancy braid; for the more
elaborate gowns, the embroidered silk
or satin bands, or. If the material be
light muslin on the transparent order,

scription. 1t is really odd how abso-
lutely contradictory are the fashions
this season in many instances-tight

~PILDREN'S clothes are growing
more and more attractive every
season, for year by year an in

are highly improper for the little ones,

Comfortable Cotton Frocks
But it is quite possible that the small
boy and girl should have perfect lib

not have in it's wardrobe one dress

dresses should be made of materials

dresses should be largely of stout ma

Every little child needs to have its
clothes changed twice a day in order
to be comfortable and clean in summer
without having to care for its clothes,
and this necessitates a wardrobe of
from two and one-half to three dozen

the house. Even when overalls are
worn in the morning 1t is usually ne

expensive things, but of ribbon, chif-

For morning play time little girls
are more and more following their
brothers into trousers. Trousers suits
of blue and brown denim. duck and
linen are the best possible thing for
the mornings. Long Russian blouses

but around the shoulders, so that the
lining is like that for low waist. Then
the sleeves are lined only just at the
top. AS may easily be imagined, this
makes cool waist no matter what
the material.
When a low collar is becoming it Is
a pretty fashion, but the fact that it
is not generally becoming is probably
one reason why it is not universally
adopted. The dog collar of jewels

The fad for the lace dyed to match
the color of the gown is another at
tractive fashion, but the same effect
is gained in rather an odd way. For
instance, a gown of pale blue with pink
roses on it will be lined with pink.
Then the material is cut away under
the lace and shows the pink through,
so that the effect is almost the same
as though pink lace were used. If it
is desired to have the color less strik-
ing, then white lining will give that
tone. All these little points are what
make the gown of today noticeably
smart and very attractive.

season is anticipated, or because women

unlined lace collar is, as rule, so
becoming that it is not so foolish as
it seems at first, because it is possible
when these are worn to do away with
the wearing of gloves, and the gown

and exaggerated to be found in the new
sleeves all the time. There is much
more fulness at the top of the sleeve,

wearing thin clothes, certain it is that
almost without exception the gowns
that are made up for this summer are
cool There is so much of the unlined
yoke and sleeves to be noticed, and this
makes a gown, even of rather heavy
material, very much cooler.
BoIero Jackets of Lace
Plain silks, chiffons and chiffon cloth
are made with the bolero Jackets of
lace or embroidery and then with a
yoke of white, the yoke being in chem
isette shape with collar to match, for
it has long been an absolutely unan-
imous fashion-this waist without a
collar. The lining of gown like this

tremendous flare around the foot. Lace
entredeux is used, but it is put well
below the hips, so as to give the flare
and not interfere with the tight fit
that threatens to outline the figure too
closely.
and for those who like rather striking
effects, the black lace entredeux on
light ground is thought very smart.
The great objection to it is that it
makes too sharp a line and cuts the
figure badly, which is not desirable,
and consequently the white, which
tones in more with the coloring of the
gown, is better.
