HooPsKIRTs STARTED A PANIC
Pittsburg' Police Required to Make
Way for Wearers.

dispatch from Pittsburg last night
says: The appearance on the streets this
afternoon of two young women wearing
hoop skirts blockaded a street car line for
half an hour. suspended business in a de-
partment store, created a small panic,
caused many men to suffer from stiff necks
and neressitated assistance from detach-
ment of police. before the young women
could regain the safety of their carriage.
The venturesome molders of fashion were
Miss Genevieve Tucker and Miss Henrietta
Hebert. The young women reached the
center of the shopping district In the car
riage of Miss Tucker, and there was moth
ing about their appearance, SO long as they
sat In the carriage. to excite comment But
when they alighted the trouble began They
tried to enter the storm doors at the side
entrance of the store, but could not get
through. Then they went to the front door.
Meantime crowd had collected. covering
the car tracks and stopping all traffic
Once the hoopskirts were inside the store,
the clerks stopped their work left their
customers and Joined the wide-eyed throng.
The floor walker grew angry, and request
ed the young women to retire. They tried
to do so, but could not. Their hoops which
were not the modern three-coil featherbone
skirts but regulation crinolines, interfered.
The house policeman was called but was
powerless. In desperation he went to the
street and blew his whistle. Two other
officers responded. and with drawn clubs
they made an opening through which the
hoopskirts and their wearers passed Sew
eral thousand persons watched them as
they got into their carriage. The policemen
also got into the carriage and remained
with the young women until the crowd was
lost.

AMERICAN FISHING INTERESTS.
Changed Attitude of Newfoundland
and Her Fishermen.

A special dispatch to The Star from
Gloucester says: While the fishing inter-
est is practically unanimous that a warship
should be sent TO the treaty coast of New
foundland TO protect the rights of Amer
lean fishing vessels. some believe there is
no immediate necessity for so doing Those
who advise q waiting policy believe that
Newfoundland intends gradually to back
down from her position of debarring all
American vessels from bait and other sup
plies of that colony. They believe that no
trouble will be experienced in the matter
of securing bait for the fleet.
What they are looking forward to with
concern is the attitude of the Newfound-
land fishermen on the herring question late
in the fall and the early winter 1t is as
serted here that under the treaty of 1918
American fishing vessels have the right to
seine their own herring supply They base
their anticipations of trouble on the events
which led up to the Fortune bay riots in
1SII-1S. Under the conditions then govern
ing the fisheries American vessels had the
undisputed rights TO catch a supply of her
ring on the Newfoundland coast.
In order TO obviate another Fortune bay
uprising IL has been calculated here that
the presence of an American warship in
the herring districts where the Americans
have a right TO take fish will have salu-
tary effect on the natives and prevent any
interference.

Double Track In Use.

The new double track of the Washington
Alexandria and Mt. Vernon railway is in
use from Spring Park on the western edge
OF Alexandria, to -Four Mile Run, and only
about quarter of a mile of track remains
to be built across the river to connect with
the double track from the power house to
Arlington Junction. The section of the new
track from st. Asaph to Four Mile Run
was completed Wednesday night and the
track was used for the first time yesterday
morning. The completion of the new track
does away with many vexatious delays
caused by meeting trains, the cars laying
on sidings often as long as ten or fifteen
minutes, and the railway company will now
pe able to maintain a regular schedule
Work has been started on the double track
across -Four Mile Run. Here considerable
pile work will have to be used In crossing

RESENTED INSULT TO HIS WIFE.
But Chicago Man Was Shot and Fatally
Wnunded

special dispatch to The Star from Chi
cago says: For resenting an insult to his
Wife A Meyer was shot and fatally
wounded yesterday at the north approach
of the Clark street bridge. His assailant
escaped after firing two bullets into the
breast of Meyer.
Accompanied by Mrs. Meyer. John Cough
lin and Miss Della Whiting, Meyer was on
his way home, when a man jostled Mrs.
Meyer and made insulting remarks. This
was resented by the husband, who essayed
to attack the stranger. The latter drew
revolver and fired twice. Meyer dropped to
the pavement and the man ran. He was
pursued by Coughlin and by persons at
tracted by the shots, but was not caught
The police of the East Chicago avenue
station conveyed the injured man to the
Passavant Hospital, where it was said he
had small chance of recovery.
None of the party with Meyer had ever
seen the man who did the shooting but
good description was given the detectives
who at once started to search for him.

wEAvERs REFORM CRUSADE
Leader Durham Charged With Violat-
ing His Official Oath.

There were highly interesting develop
ments in Philadelphia yesterday in Mayor
Weaver's crusade for good government.
The fight against the trolley franchises is
for the moment forgotten in the light of
what developed at the hearing of Select
Councilman Frank H. Caven, who is
charged with violating his councilmanic
oath in being interested in city contracts.
During the hearing 1t was shown that In
surance Commissioner Israel w. Durham
the leader of the republican organiza ton
in this city, is a partner in the McNichol
firm of city contractors. 1t was also shown
| that. while James P. McNichol, who is now
state senator and one of the local repub-
lcan leaders. was in the city councils the
McNichol firm consisted of Durham, Mrs
James P. McNichol, John NJ Mack and
Daniel ]. McNichol brother of James z.
McNichol 1t was also shown that after
James P. McNichol left the councils his
wife withdrew from the firm and that her
place was taken by himself
Other evidence of a sensational character
was TO the effect that a secret agreement
existed between Councilman Caven and his
father, trading as James Caven & Son, and
another rirm in which they agreed that no
contract shall be entered into by either of
the parties with the McNichol firm or other
firms doing work on the city's filtration
plant system without the written consent
OF both parties. The hearing ended in
Caven being held in 50 SEQ bail
AS a result of what developed at the hear
ing, Mayor Weaver late yesterday accepted
the resignation of John w. Hill, chief en-
gineer of the bureau of filtration and also
that of his son, Henry W. HILL who was
assistant to his father. The designations
were sent to the mayor to take effect June
80, but they were accepted to take effect
Immediately. Chief Hill was the highest
salaried official in the city, his compensa-
ton being $4,000 a year. Simultaneous
with the acceptance of the designations all
work on the city's filtration system was
ordered stopped.
The office of Chief Hill was placed in
charge of Assistant Director of Public
Works Hicks, and the city's offices at the
hltratlon plant were put in charge of de-
tectives, with instructions to permit no one
to remove any records or other documents
While no official expression could be OBJ
tanned as to the reasons for the resigna-
ton. 1t Is learned from a high authority
that Mayor Weaver was not satisfied with
affairs connected with the construction of
the filter plants
The filtration system has cost the city
about ~ 10000, and it will take upward
OF So,UO0.OO0 more to complete the work
The McNichol firm has had contracts for
about three-quarters of the work
