consider the matter, why shodld Il be
so severe? Let 1t be sensibly short
and comfOrtable-and then as pretty
as you are a mind to make it. The
one refer to was part Of a neat gray
outfit; the skirt short enough not to
need holding up at muddy crossing.
heavy enough not to blow in the wind
and make indiScreet display of ankles;
the coat was trim bolero, which dis
played at the back and down the
front an engaging white wash-silk
waist. The hat was cheerful with
Eosies, quite enlivening ON the dark,
rainy day.
The other short jacket noticed was
part of a tailor snit OF blue cloth. 1t
was trimmed with wide bands OF black
braid, which climbed up the back and
gave the short-wa,sted effect so sought
after these days; there was touch on
the sleeves and a narrow vest down
the front of heavy cream-cOlOred lace,
picked out in red and blue embroidery.
With the short sleeves long heavy
black gloves were worn. The hat was
gray blue.
But to return to our princess"
theme. Crepe de chine is an admira-
BILE material to choose for an evening
gown made after this favored nAOdel.
A charming pale blue was retsntly
seen trimmed rather sparingly with
white lace. So many people make the
mistake OF piling yards Of lace pm a
gown and getting something fcr re-
ward that is fussy and over-elahorate.
The one speak of, which looked SIM
pie and modish, is what is called a
corsage princess; it was stayed above
and to quite a depth below the waist,
by many rows OF shirring. A low
recked and short-sleeved Dolero
formed the bodice, the bolero rounded
off prettily and ccming well above the
waist A sort of fichu of lace outlined
the little coat, and bit Of lace was
introduced in the slashing of the short
sleeve.

Hunters, Thrilling Experience.

Loyal, Wis. - Harry Riddel and
James Cook, both prominent citizens
of Jackson county, Wis, described a
narrow escape they had from being de-
vourcd by wolves one evening recent
ly. They had been hunting the beasts
all day with a party of hunters from
neighboring towns and farms. Be-
coming separated from the main party,
they lost their way.
At night they gathered some dry
branches and built a fire. They had
no sooner kindled the fire than the
bowling of wolves was heard in the
distance, and with their backs to a
large rock the men prepared for
battle.
In ten minutes the forest seemed
alive with dusty forms, and soon the
battle was raging. The rest of the
parry had gone in search of the miss
ing men and came upon them after
they had exhausted their ammunition
and were fighting with frebrands as
a last resort. The wolves dispersed at
the approach of the larger party, Is
of the brutes having been killed.

There is one injustice which public

want our judges to obey them and
not substitute for them something
they deem in accord with a thing so

Denver, July 19.-Rapid progress

change of the organic law of the or

vote to adopt it, 1t becomes the law

The particular point that caused the
most debate was in regard to the ju-

court shall be named consisting of five
members appointed by the grand ex-
allied ruler, to be known as the grand

Ration, ~ M, July 19.-Sheriff r.
Garcia, of Clayton, Union county, ar
rived here today and took L. d. Boz
ton, the real estate dealer, back to that
city tonight, where he will be given
preliminary hearing tomorrow for the
murder of Cary Gilg, wealthy sheep
man, which occurred on Friday last.
Sheriff Garcia says that he was away
from Clayton at the time of the kill
ing. Had he been at home he would
not have allowed Bolton to be taken
out of town. but would have hired
guards and stood off the mob. The
sheriff says the feeling. which was a.
a very high pitch over the killing, has
now subsided, and he thinks there will
be no trouble. He also says that there
are witnesses in Clayton who will
swear that Bolton shot Gilg deliberate
ly. Bolton shows the effects of his
confinemnt and is weak and emaciated.

Federal Attorneys 10 Proceed
AGAINST ViOIatOrS Of Statute
EXECUTIVE ORDER OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO LABOR
Contractors on Public Work Must
Observe Law Limiting Length
Of Work Day.

Washington. July 19.--Action of
the greatest importance to labor cir
cleS is contemplated in a direction
given by the president to the officers
in charge of public works, at the in
stance of Secretary Taft, This is to
employ the governments own officers
and attorneys to detect and punish
violations of the law of 1902, provid-
ing that, except in case of an emer-
gency, work on government buildings,
ships and other properties shall be
limited to eight hours each day for
each workman.
An effort was made by the forces of
organized labor during the last session
of congress to secure legislation to
this end but so effective was the op-
position of the great contracting firms
that adjournment was had without
any action on the pending bill, though
the house committee on labor con-
sumed many hours in listening to
powerful arguments on either side of
the question.
Heretofore it has been the practice
of executive officers when complaint
was made by the labor unions that
the eight hour law was being violated
by contractors engaged in public en-
terprises, to reply that 1T was not
their business; that the law was bind
ing on the contractors and that if the
labor unions felt aggrieved and knew
of violations of the law they should
proceed themselves legally against
the offenders. The labor unions as
serted that it was almost impossible
for them to secure the necessary evil
dence. The effect of the order on the
cost of government work is expected
to be very great. lis known that il
has almost been universal for gov.
ernment contractors to work their
men ten and twelve and even more
hours day. If they cannot do this
they assert that they must increase by
20 or 20 per cent the amount of Their
bids, so that congress must either in.
crease by like percentage the appro.
priations for public works or must
correspondence reduce the amount OF
work authorized.

Almost all of them are habitable al

Witness Tells Of Giving Money
10 Negro COaChMan
MILLIONAIRE PLAINTIFF
INVOLVED IN PLOT
Women'S Lawyers Bring Out Sensa-
tionaI Testimony in Pittsburg
Divorce Scandal.

Pittsbug. July 19s-Foliowing a
sensational attack on the character of
Augustus Hartje, in which it was al
legged that he had at two different times
frequented a disreputable resort, the
real sensation of the day in the Hartje
divorce trial eliminated this after
noon when Judge Robert Fraser ad-
mitted after bitter protest of the OPP
posing counsel, testimony relating to
the charges of conspiracy against
John l.. Welshons, a prominent mer-
chant, Augustus Hartje, the libellant,
and Clifford Hooe, the negro coach
man now In Jail on perjury charges,
for alleged false swearing in the case.
Welshons, who was called by Mrs.
Hartje's counsel told a clear story of
how the deposition was secured from
Hooe. He said that Hooe then left
the city and the witness told of having
given him various small sums OF
money at different times. This look
ed like blackmail, the witness said.
He said he might have told Hooe that
he would be sent to the penitentiary
for perjury if he did not stick to the
original story he told.
Welshons' story, it is said. coin
cides very closely with the statement
of Hooe, relating to the case, which
| is in the possession of the district at
| torney.
This was the first attempt during
the trial to present evidence of the
conspiracy which Mrs. Hartje's coun-
sci declares was formed to defame her.
Welshons is a close friend of Augus-
tus Hartje and is accused with Hartje
and Hooe of conspiracy against Mrs.
Hartje.
Hooe, months ago, made a deposit
ton in which he said he had been in
Innate with Mrs. Hartje. He after
wards repudiated it, and is now i'm iail
on charge of perjury.
Welshons maintained steadily that
Augustus Hartje knew nothing of the
! fact that he had given Hooe money
and admitted that Hartte's attorneys
| had told Hooe that If he was not tell
ing the truth they would prosecute
him.
Attorney Scott Ferguson for Mr..
HartJe said they had a letter showing
that the defense had taken the demo-
Sltlon of witness knowing that his
testimony was false and that they will
also show that an attempt had been
made to tamper with witnesses.
Mrs. Hartje's counsel opened up a
new line in the defense by presenting
evidence to show that Hartie had vis-
tied a disorderly house and had met
an immoral woman there. A servant
from the house is to so testify and
Nadine the coachman, is to corrob-
crate the testimony
More testimony on handwriting
was also taken during the day when
Samuel c. Malone, an expert of Balti-
more, was called for Mrs. Hartie. He
testified along the same lines as those
on that side which had preceded him.
