The Debutante's Gown.

Since simplicity IL the keynote OF the

fashion, there is little difference In the
designs OF costumes worn by these young.

only difference In their opera toilettes IL

pearls, simple neck chain or pretty
pin, but none of the brilliantly attractive

NO LEAKAGE Of FUNDS
Famine Relief Work of Foreigners in
China Said to Be Ad-
mirable.

Shanghai April DEMONSTRATION
shows that the plans of the famine re-
lief committee are admirable There
has been no leakage of the funds adj
ministered by foreigners. A house to
house inspection has resulted in 10000
families, totaling 5OO,O 900 famine suffer-
ers, being enrolled by the committee
which is attempting to provide food for
them until the harvest. Additions to
the list of families will be made only
when the funds available justify it,
Three kinds of relief tickets are issued {:
First, free food, which Is not issued
unless the family has absolutely no
money, food or pawnable articles and
the members are too weak to work;
second, where they are physically able,
each member of q family is given work
to pay for food; third, the Chinese gov
eminent is paying to some families IL
cents per day. These tickets are given
to those families emitting them to pur-
chase famine supplies at cost. Food
is furnished to ticket holders at the
relief sub-centers at stated times.
Often the thatch roofs and timbers of
houses are sold and families, because
they had table left, have been refused
relief and, utterly discouraged, they
have committed suicide.

NEW ISSUE RAISED.
Coast Jobbers compIicate Commerce
Commissions Talk.

Portland. April ia sensation re
suited i'm the Spokane terminal rate
hearing before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty when an amend
ed and supplemental petition in inter
vention was filed by K. n. Teal, attoT
ney for Portland jobbing interests,
which appears as intervenOrs in the ac-
ton. The petition prayed for a radical
Teadtustment of all rates from coast
points to the interior, and alleges pres
ent freight charges are eXorbitant and
unjust.
Commissioner PrOuty said he feared
that the petition would introduce a new
issue into the hearing, and preferred
not to go into a rate revision at this
time At the same time he allowed the
petition to be filed with the defend
ants, who are three tTans-cOntnental
railroads entering Spokane. These
transportation lines now have two foes
to fight: joining hands with them in Op-
posing the Spokane terminal rates are
the coast jobbers. But should Spokane
win her case, then the former allies of
the railroads will turn against them
and fight for reduction eastward as well
as west.
The supplemental petition in inter
ventiOn is signed by Colonel II. D.
LOveland, president of the Pacific Coast
Jobbers & Manufacturers association,
and Edmond c. GiltheT. acting for the
Portland chamber of commerce.

MEXICO AGREES
WITH UNCLE sam
Guatemala and Salvador Must
Keep the Peace During
Negotiations.

Washington, April 16.-Naval move
meuts today show that the gunboat
Boston has started from Amapala,
Honduras. for COrinto, Nicaragua, to
convey President Zelaya to Amapala
for the conference he will have there
with President Figuera. The Chicago
will be used to convey President FL
guerra to the conference, which will be
held either at Amalpa or on board one
of the American vessels to be anchored
in Fonseca bay.
At the state department today it was
admitted that an agreement between
the United States and Mexico has been
entered into by which a guaranty has
been given that there shall be no hos
file demonstrations between the forces
of Guatemala and Salvador upon the
frontier during the conference. 1t was
said that this does not mean II will be
necessary for the United States and
Mexico to use force to suppress "emi-
grades across the border by any of the
armed bands in the various Central
American states. The PRONUNCIATION of
a Joint order by Mexico and the United
states prohibiting such excursions, it
is believed, will be sufficient to guaran-
Zee quiet while the presidents of Nicar-
aqua and Salvador are conferr1ng.

AGAINST RUNNING AMUCK
Board of Trade of Philadelphia
Opposed to Radical Rail
way Legislation.

Philadelphia, April 16.-The board Of
trade of Philadelphia has placed itself
OF record as opposed TO legislation in
imicable to railroads. The board at its
meeting yesterday unanimously adopted
a report TO this effect The report, In
part, says:
while the questionable financial
methods of some railroad managers
have invoked merited criticism, yet
there is no justification for policy
prompting antagonism merely for re-
taliation, either by the government or
the people. as the universal railway
system of the country must now be re-
garded as the great public carrier and
absolutely necessary for the general
business prosperity. While there were,
and perhaps still are, many matters In
corporate life and in what are popular
~ termed trusts. that have cried aloud
for q remedy, it must be remembered
that without corporations and kindred
combinations of capital 1t is impossi-
BILE to conduct most of the business of
the country"

NEGRO FINALLY LYNCHED
Mob at Bunkie, La, Succeeded in
Second Attempt Without
Getting Hurt.

Eola, La, April 16.-The sequel of the
shooting Of five white men and two ne
groes at Bunkie. La, last Sunday. was
the lynching of the negro Charlie
Strauss, near here today. A party of
masked men took him away from depu-
ties. The negro was hanged to a tree,
after which many shots were fired into
his body.
This was the second attempt in two
days to lynch Strauss, the first one on
Sunday night having resulted in the
seriously wounding of five white men.
Strauss had been taken from the Bun
kie Jail and escaped during almost total
darkness while his captors were shoot
ing at random. Negroes, it is said,
fired into the lynching party.

WOMAN JUMPED
TO HER DEATH
Mrs. Maggie Stanley Killed at
Fillmore Sunday in Run
away Accident.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Fillmore, Utah, April 1161-Mrs. Mag
gle Stanley lost her life here Sunday as
the result of an accident.
About $3.50 in the afternoon Mrs.
Stanley and her husband, John Stan
ley, started for their ranch, a distance
of six miles northwest of town. They
had only reached the outskirts of town
when, while descending a small hill. one
of the traces became unfdstenei from
the singletree, wrapping itself around
one of the horses hind legs Imme-
diately the animal took fright ard ST.
simultaneously both horses commenced
to run. Mr.. Stanley held to the lines
with all his might, in an effort tC con-
troll the frightened horses. But they
were beyond control, and his wife
thinking that the conveyance would be
overturned, attempted to jump TO the
ground.
1t is evident that she slipped in her
excitement, for her clothes caught N
the wheel of the buggy and she was
whirled to the ground with terrific
force, breaking her neck, fracturing Tire
skull and causing instant death.
Mrs. Stanley was a most estimable
lady. She and her husband were most
devoted to each other and their large
family.

FIRE AT M0DENA.
Building and Stock of 3. j. Lund &
Co. Burned.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Modena. Utah, April l5.-Early this
morning fire destroyed the building and
stock of the firm of 3. j. Lund & Co.
The first was first discovered by Louis
Lund, clerk, who was sleeping in the
store. He was aroused by the smoke
and was half suffocated. He imme-
diately gave the alarm. The fire was
discovered about o'clock. The people
of the town made every effort possible
but the first arrivals on the scene were
driven back by the flames as sooa as an
entrance could be effected. The only
thing saved was the accounts. The loss
will probably reach between $1,000 and
$4,000, although no close estimate can
be placed, as considerable new stock
was received yesterday. Insurance
about half. No cause for the fire can
be assigned
