AETNA LIFE LOSES CASE.

<AAs | ~ A tA4AL AA AANtA@lAt2 S<h2lSs
 In deciding the case of Amanda S. Whitfield. of Kansas City, Mo, vs. the Aetna Life Insurance company, of Hartford, the supreme court of the United States yesterday construed tie Missouri state laws providing that the suicide of an insured person shall not constitute a valid defense in resisting payment on the policy against the company.
 The opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan and reversed the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit, which decision was in favor of the company. The policy in- volved was for $5,OOO on the life of James Whitfield, husband of the plain tiff in this case, and was taken out in 1900, about eighteen months before his death by suicide,
 There was a clause exempting the company from paying more than $500 in case of suicide, and that sum the To- lcal federal courts awarded. The court of appeals held ttlat an expansive con- Istruction of the law would render the statute violative of the common law allowing freedom in contracts. The court, therefore, held that the state law could not properly be construed as prohibiting the right to classify risks, which had been done in providing for the payment of only $500 in case of the death of the insured by his own hands. The supreme court took the opposite view,

JOHN MACK'S NARROW CAPE
PARACHUTE FAILS TO OPEN
 UNTIL NEAR GROUND.
Daring Little Aeronaut, Who Appeared at the White City Last Summer, Nearly Loses His Life at Newark, N. J.-FalIs on Railroad Tracks and Has to Be Carried Back to Park.

AAHS " A1N OOAAACu oAN0 to SAA AAs
 Newark, N. J., April 22.-John Mack, a balloonst, made an ascension yester- day at Hillside Park in the presence of about 1,5OO persons. Because a para chute did not work properly he nearly lost his life. He had gone up fully 1000 feet when he prepared to descend. Grasping the parachute, which he had never tried before, he let himself go, expecting it to open by the time he had dropped 100 feet. It failed, however, and the balloonist shot down with great rapidity. The crowd did not at first realize that something was wrong, but when it was seen that the para chute had not opened every one ex- pected Mack would be dashed to death. When, however, he was about 500 feet from the ground the parachute fiared open, and, with the aeronaut hardly retaining his hold after the sudden stop, it swung back and forth, and with gradually lessing speed descended on the Erie tracks at Washington ave- nue.
 Mack was found lying on the ground He tried to get up, but his legs gave way under him, and he had to be taken back to the park in wagon. He is still suffering from the effects of the flight
 A girl was to have made an ascent from the park, but the management decided not to let her go up, as her father had sent word from Camden that she had run away from her home there last Saturday, and that she was not yet sixteen years old.

ATTORNEY MUST SHOW CAUSE.
 Judge Robinson, of the supreme court, has issued an order citing Attor- lney Charles c. Spreyer to appear in court on April 30 to show cause why he should not be disbarred for charges Ipreferred against him by the griev- ance committee of the New Haven County bar. These charges have to do with a complaint made by Charles H. Remkus that MT. Spreyer kept for his own use money given him by Remkus to pay a fine against him in the city court in July, 1903 Remkus stated he had to go to jail because of tie attor- ney's act and later had to pay the fine oyer again. When he asked for the money back he alleger Spreyer refused to give it to him. After giving the case to lawyers he says spreyer made resti- tuition.

 Mr Leete was under examination be- fore Henry G. Newton, referee in bank ruptcy, the examination being conduct ed by Seymour c. Loomis, acting for the trustee. Reference was made to a certain memorandum and Referee 4NSW lOl ulIGGlGu hls lICClC lV PAOWQSS the memorandum. Judge Stoddard, lawyer for MT. Leete and the bank, d. rected him not to do so. It finally de- veloped that the memorandum at the time was not in the possession of MT.

 Referee Newton held that MT.

 It would be hard to find larger or better selected stock of everything that goes to make the complete dress Of lady than that to be found at the pop ular stores of the Gamble-Desmond company. This firm has always had a reputation for exclusiveness, and thls year it has amply upheld its reputation in this respect.
 In walking through the well-appoint- ed stores we found so many things that were entirely different from those shown elsewhere. During the day the stores were crowded with delighttul shoppers. The opening will be contln- ued to-day.
 1 The cloak and suit department IS crowded with thousands Of dolars worth of the most beautiful and fash ionable garments. Fine costumes ana taking modes are displayed everywhere. The predominant colors are the greys' mode and the biscuit colors. There IS also comprehensive collection or Jackets and wraps. The beautiful black { designs and the attractive street cos tunes are especially handsome. Ihls store is noted far and wide for it's silks and street and dress goods, and thls year these departments are more at ltractive than ever before. The lace de- lpartment is noted for being the very best in the state, and this spring thls large department has an immense ag- gregation of laces of every description The lace robes and the lace for trim mings are in great abundance and Ill many new and beautiful styles.
 One of the most remarkable displays is in the wash goods department. There are lawns, organdies and imported Swiss and other fabrics wlich are as fine and as beautiful as silks
 But the millinery department is one of the hooks in the big store that should not be lost sight of. Here may De found an innovation in the most nota- ble collection of low-priced, stylish hats New Haven has ever had. The firm IS again making a feature of really smart hats ranging in prices at from $S'9S to $5, s6.5O and $S. The broadening of the millinery department policy few years ago has proved a success, and they claim supremacy here. Besides the marvellous production in imported hats and beautiful picture hats, with mag nifcent ostrich plumes the firm has an abundance of its own hats which are of splendid designing and smart work manship. For those who do not wish to put big money into hat there are offerings in hundreds of beautiful hats low price creations, and ranging from $39S to S5.
 The big store is resplendent in its decorations of palms running pine and pinks, and looks most attractive. The crowds which paid the store an inspec- tlon yesterday were surprised anc pleased at the splendid array of goods and the magnificent decorations. This firm is surely prepared this spring tt feater to the trade ofqthe city and sur srounding towns in the very best man ner.

 Among the models worthy of partic- ular mention is an Eton suit in the new biscuit shade of voile; the jacket is finished with soutache braid over the shoulders and ornaments and frogs in front, three-quarter sleeves with lace ouffe, while the skirt has double-pleat- ed effect front and back, and two side pleats surmounted with commentators of silk-in all very striking model.
