The Auto coiffure

Although the automobile veil, which
has been almost general, has been sent
into retirement by New York women,
except for those who really ride in
machines. many who cannot go auto
riding can fall back on the motor
coifEure," which, while it doesn't ma
terialize autos, stronly suggests them.
The coiffure which, it is said, gives its
wearer an auto air. has a ponpa-
dour which is built up over the middle
as formerly, and the coil is placed far
toward the back, giving the whole ar
rangement decidedly breezy look.
Hats that are worn with it are
trimmed with the idea of appearing to
have been blown sharply back, and the
brims that are wide in the back mar
row almost to nothingness over the
face. This fancy is of distinctly TWEEN
tieth century origin, according to a
''hairologist."

Private Hack Stands Upheld

Then, speaking about cabs and cab
bies. That the green-coated whip with
silk hat, though regularly licensed has
no right to solicit fares in front of
hotels or other property, IL the owners
object, was decided the other Gay in
the Tombs police court All the lead
ing hotels, such as the Waldorf-As-
toria, Belmont, Manhattan and Knick-
erbocker, have established what they
call private mack stands in front of
their property, and they have been In
constant warfare with individual cab
men, who resent what they call a
monopoly of a public thoroughfare and
insist on soliciting business in the re-
stricted limits. To make a test case
a regularly licensed cabman was ar
rested for being on the private hack
stand at the Hotel Belmont. He was
fined for trespassing.

High Rents and Why

In one of the new hotels a small
niche in the wall near the front en-
trance has been rented for a news
paper stand at $500 per year.
"This seems big price, said a real
estate man, "but there Is one thing
that must be remembered in connec-
ton with the recent advances i'm rents
in New York. No matter how many
subways or elevated roads there may
be constructed the main tides of travel
VIII forever move on the surface Of
the earth There are so many feet
of genuine floor space i'm this city and
there never viii be any more no matter
how many stories are run up into the
air or sub Easements put under the
ground. The big jumps in rental val
ues that you read about are in nearly
all cases for ground floor stores"

New Table Fad

One of the newest fads in table dec
grafton seen i'm the $3.50" stores here is
a miniature fountain, which plays tiny
streams OF water over covered
electric light producing an attractive
and unusual effect. The fountain is
placed in the center of the table and
the water is forced up through a tenn
porary pipe and electric light wires are
also run up from under the table. The
cloth is protected by q glass rim, and
ranged in circle. They rise about
twelve inches and then fall prettily on
an inverted globe of white or anysap-
propriate color, with the light cleaning
through 1t. Sometimes rose petals or
tiny flowers are scattered in the basin
OF the fountain. The whole thing is
about a foot and a half in diameter.

Butter Versus oIeomarsarlne

"Will you be good enough to tell
me-" asked the housekeeper of her gro
Ger, "why butter still keeps going up?
There used to be times when the
price dropped, but 1 do not seem to
run across any of them now. Do you
blame 1t on the farmers or on the
trusts?"
"On neither one of them, maam" !"
the grocer answered. "If you really
want to lay the blame where 1t be-
longs, go to Albany and place it on
the doorstep of the legislature of New
York. Butter costs what it does be-
cause we canot sell olemargarine or
anything that looks like it. There are
a number Of things as good as but
ter that we could sell at one-half the
price If the food laws of the state did
not stand in the way"

more men besides the six bodies recov-
cred were lost from the Nora. The
death list will certainly reach IL and
may go to 10.
Reason for belief that as many as IA

that of at least 81 men who were
aboard the Nora when she capsized,
not more than Is have been accounted
for, leaving discrepancy of 13, besides
the man lost from the Alva B. The
six bodies over which Coroner Thomp-

BOY WANDERS AWAY
Little Walter Paulding Strolied
the Beach and was Located
Only After Long Search

Little Walter Paulding, aged three
years, of Elmer, unwittingly caused his
parents considerable worriment last
Thursday while on an excursion to
Wildwood. Walter Jr. who is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E. Paulding,
started Off ON an independent tour of
investigation of the resort just before
train time in the afternoon. He was
not located till about ten o'clock in the
evening near the Washington building
in Holly Beach, by William b. Jones.
His parents in the meantime were
much concerned and shed tears of joy
on his recovery. Walter was brought
to the Board of Trade bureau and then
safely delivered to his folks.
Another youth who created furore
by losing himself yesterday was Elmer
Green, of Gloucester, red-headed and 8
years of age. Elmer's home is at 914
Somerset street, Gloucester and he
likewise, wi h his mother came here for
days good time. Up until the Glou-
cester excursion lett town young Elmer
had not turned up. Mrs. Green boarded
the excursion hoping to find her son
thereon; failing in that she tearfulIy
asked the conductor to stop the train
and allow her to get off and return to
Wildwood, which was done.
Prof. Levanus Myers found Elmer
sitting on beach gazing with a solemn
face toward the sea and very shortly
the mother and son were in each others
embrace. Later they took thelast eX-
press for home.
Several Philadelphia babies who had
Iun away from their mothers sides
were likewise returned to their parents

INVESTIGATE
 THE FIRING General Duva1 is Not
 Satisfied. THE PENSACOLA INCIDENT Report of Commander of Post Not
 Explicit.
Says That Alleged Shooting at cOnduc- tor From Ambuscade Was NOth- lng More Than Ordinary Pay
 Day Disturbance.

Washington, Dec. 21.--As the result of the demand of Secretary Taft for | tho report of the facts connected with the publication that an attack had been made by armed soldiers from Fort Barrancas, Fla, on trolley car on the line between Pensacola and tbs fort, in revenge for the election ofesne of their number from the car. Brtgadier General Duvai, commanding ehe De- pertinent of the Gulf at Atlanta, tele- Igraphed a report to the Military Sec- retary today.
 He says he was advised on December 1j by Colonel Stewart, commanding of- fcer atIFort Barrancas. Fla. that the trouble between the conductor and a corporal occurred over the latter s fare. which had been paid by one of the soldiers comrades. A quarrel en- fsued during which a negro porter. struck the corporal with brass knucks. The conductor and the porter drew re- voivers and a stampede followed In tho crowded cars.
 | General Duval did not regard the Ie- port as sufficiently explicit. He so in formed Colonel Stewart at Fort Bar rancas Stewart responded that no re- | port has been made to him by the con- ductor or other railroad officials in re- gard to the supposed trouble. He heard by rumor. he said. that some shots were fired ana had started an in- vcstigation, ascertaining that the l trouble was not serious.
 | It appears to have heen. he said. an ordinary pay day disturbance, and so far as ascertained no enlisted men bad q revolver on the car and no, damage was done. The conductor told the Ad- | jutant on the night of the 18th that three shots were fired by parties from ambush on the night of the i7th. The conductor thought the shots were hred by soldiers.
 Colonel Stewart says he has not es- tablished the fact of any firing by en- l listed men Of his command. board of officers is now investigating the matter. General Duyal says the dis patches referred to contain all the of helal information he has. As reports Fthus faI are not satisfactory to him ifnyastfgation.

 UP. Adams. Secertary the Vicks- ubrg Business League, who was mem" ber of the party. says that the people in the vicinity of Gold Dust Landing have worked hard to recover the bodies, but as the boat is well under the wa- ter, and fairly torn to pieces, very ltt- tie could be done.
 Mr. Adams says that he wreck beg sars description. Tlmbers, iron and splinters are scattered around for nve hundred feet. A search was made Tn the woods and cane brakes by the party, but without success. The water near the landing was dragged, but onfS some cotton seed came to the surface.

Methods of Combine That Control Llc-
 Orice Paste.

 Orice Paste.
 New York, Dec. 21.-Henry M. Rau, a selling agent, testified today in the proceedings against the alleged licor- ice paste combine that he sent a list of customers to the president of the McAndres and Forbes Company.
 The list was checked with the initlals "Y" and T." In his letter communi- eating the list, Mir. Rau wrote that those marked ''Y" were preferred cus- toners of the J. s. Young Company of Baltimore. Those marked 'I' were preferred customers of the Lewis conn pany of Providence, R. I. The letter also stated that no effort was to be made by one company to sell to the customers on the list of the other com pany.
 MT. Rau said that he could not find certain letters that the prosecution had called for and that he rTpposed they were destroyed.
 E. F. Hale, former secretary of the McAndrews Forbes Company, identified a number of letters. in one of which. on January 23. 1904. President Jung bluth suggested to the J. D, Young Company that it might not be desirabl5 to furnish certain manufacturers with too much licorice paste at that time. The writer also spoke of raising the
 
 Six weeks later the price of the Greek root was raised to seven and one-fourth cents per pound by the Young company on consignment of paste, and Murray, of New York. and Chicago, according to letter identi- fled by the witness
 An advertisement which appeared in a tobacco trade journal was put in evidence over the objection of counsel for the defendants. It stated that the Young Company would continue to conduct it's business the same as for merly without any connection with the trust and called on all independent dealers and manufacturers throughout the country to stand by the Young Company in It's fight against the Ameri- can Tobacco Company. Special Govern ment Attorney Taft pointed out that this advertisement appeared two months after the forlaation of the new J. S. Young Company and the control of the corporation by tho Mc- Andrews and Forbes Compcny, rec ognized subsidiary company Of the American Tobacco Company.
 Counsel for thee Government brought out the fact that the Young Company was selling paste at 1-2 cents per pound, while the Mac Andrews and Forbes Company demanded'9. When asked to explain that, Mir. Hale said tt was due, he thought. to the fact that the firms had different brands.
 Special Attorney General Taft point ed out that Ut was in this maner of refusing to contract for future delive- ries that the two dependent companies conspired and combined to restrain trade as charged In the indictment"
 He said that while the Young Com pany was advertising in the trade pa- pers as independent, it was at the same time offering paste at one-half cent a pound less than che Mac Andrews and Forbes Company.
 "The effect of this" said Mir. Taft "was naturally to drive the men not in the trust to the Young Company, where the trust. through its subsidiary com panies, had them under control by re- stricting their necessary supply of lico- rice paste"
 Adjournment was taken until tomor- TOW.
