WAISTCOATS IN VOGUE
No Loss in the Popularity of These
Garments.
BIAS STRIPES AMONG NOVELTIES
Tendency L. Generally TO Darker
Tones in Vests and Fine Ma
teriaIs for Evening
Wear.

NEW YORK. June 2O.-The prediction
that the farcy waistcoat was not to play
the same part in mems dress this summer
has not come true and one may listen with
scepticism to the prophecy that men will
not vary their regular dress next winter
with the waistcoat different in color and
material. The waistcoat Of this kind has
become a permanent feature Of mems
dress. The fancy waistcoat is now just
as much a part OF modish mans dress as
is the same garment made OF the material
Of the coat and trousers.
Perhaps the most conspicuous novelties
OF the season are the two turned out by
Broadway haberdashers. The striking
styles in waistcoats, It might be observed,
come now from the haberdashers. They
have taken over the fancy waistcoat as a
part Of their stock by right and they sur
pass the tailors In the originality and dar-
irg of their styles. One has the striped
goods cut on the bias and the stripes
therefore run toward the center buttons
of the waistcoat rather than up and down
or even across as they were sometimes
made to. These striped bias wsistcoats
come in very attractive combinations
There are, Of course, black and white, but
in addition there are white and mauve,
mauve and gray, cream and brown, green
and white and two shades of blue. All
these combinations are in stripes not more
than one-eighth Of an inch thick and In adj
dition to the combinations named here,
they are in the same colors with black.
The fabrics used in them are Of mercerized
linen or silk and llren and the buttons are
in bone or metal.
There has been urged against these new
bias stripes that they make stout men look
larger, although in matters OF dress that
always brings the compromising advantage
that thin men are correspondingly en-
larged by the same effects The principal
objection 20 these bias stripes was ex-
planned by a tailor who dlgnifies his pro-
.~essior. through studying its questions ana
lytieally.
4 have never in my experience" he ex-
planned. seen any bias stripe effects sue
coed in mems dress. The device Is popu-
lar enough among women, but the use of
bias stripes for men is SO Inappropriate
that l believe 1t will never enjoy any per
manenoe."
The other novelty in waistcoats is not 90
novel alone as when taken IN connection
with other features OF its wearer's dress
II is OF stripes or even checks, made to
match the material Of the shirt. It must
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-21

OF course, match it exactly. To afford the
touch of contrast which is Intended to call
attention to the fact that the materials in
the shirt and the waistcoat are the same
a white dickey is worn in the waistcoat.
Pronounced as this style is, there is a GER
tain smartness in the materials used to
make these waistcoats. There are on a
white ground stripes of blue, mauve and
brown, and between these broader stripes
threads of color no thicker than a hair.
The choice Of material in these waistcoats
is necessarily limited, as only shifting can
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-21

because they suggest the tawny shades Of
round wooden buttons in the same general
scheme of color. In stripes that show
various shades of gray and black on a
dark gray ground the buttons are round
and of metal, oxidized, or embossed. Dark
blue waistcoats in this same light wooden
cloth, which is not too warm for the sum-
mer days, and indeed, lighter in weight
than duck, are relieved by stripes Of lighter
blues, brown and heliotrope, which is a
shade of dark purple to which the dealers
Omaha daily bee., 1908-06-21

be used. Separate materials of the same
pattern and thicker texture have not been
made for this purpose. The waistcoat Is OF
course adorned, as the shirt, with heavily
embroidered monogram, which has the
dubious value of being seen by but few
wearer and adding much to the cost of the
waistcoat.
Other tendencines in waistcoats have been
to darker tones. There are shown this
summer in various shades of brown and
yellow of a variety which the dealers love
to describe as Jungle" tints, presumably

HOUSE PASSES VREE.
LAND CURRENCY BILL
In Spite Of Democrats Desperate Fight
---vote 1874 to MAINE In
the Public Building Bill

/ and not one to remedy the fiMancia
emergency of the country. Vreeland de-
clared that there had been no Round
| Robin" to bring about support Of the
| measure in the House. He said thai
no association Of bankers or manutac-
turers was asked for resolutions in its
favor. He charged that for weeks
systematic efforts had been made by
those opposed to the bill to effect its
defeat. The work of the banking and
currency committee of which ne is
chairman. to bring in a bill properly
to meet the situation was defended by
Fowler.
Cockrane of New York in fervid
speech in opposition to the bill dc
clared it vicious.
Kahn threw the Republicans into an
uproar by offering the Williams bill
as a substitute for the Vreeland bill
He did so. he said. because he found
no one was willing to stand sponsor
for it, Notwithstanding Mr.. Bryan
said it was the best bill before Con-
gress today, and in order that the
Democrats of the House might have
an opportunity to vote on it,
The bill was then read, the Demo-
Gratis meanwhile, much TO the amuse-
ment of the Republicans, crOwding
around their leader for instructions.
Reversing the order of things, Kahn
demanded the ayes and hayes and all
the Republicans stood up while the
Democrats, for the moment taken
aback by the strategem of the major
ity, kept their seats. They, however,
soon joined in the demand for the
ayes and nays, amid shouts OF laugh
ter and derision on the Republican
side.
Leader Williams had instructed his
colleagues not to put themselves on
record and when one after another
they answered present" the Repub-
licans went wild.
There was no response when Will
liams' name was called and the Repub-
licans thought he had lodged the
vote, but soon it was seen that he was
in the rear of the chamber. He was
conversing with Mr. Burnett of Ala
bama. His name was called again and
amid Republican laughter and Demo-
cratic applause he voted present"
TO a man, the Republicans cast
their votes against the bill. Even
Speaker Cannon, who rarely votes, in
sisted that he be put on record with
his colleagues. The Williams bill was
lost.
The Vreeland bill then was passed,
yeas 1874, nays 145, present" :.
All the Democrats voted against the
bill, as did Is Republicans.
The Republicans cheered Justify
when the result was announced and
the Democrats applauded every Re-
publican whose ballot was cast against
the measure.
The House took O. recess until to-
morrow,

Shcdiac, n. B.. May 14.-The murder

couche village, waited the arrival of
the police officer from Summerside,
and gave himself up.

Poushkeepsie, ~ Y. May 1.-THE
opening of the Thaw hearing today af-
ter many delays. finds Harry X. Thaw
and his representatives ready and ap-
pdrcntty anxious to proceed, while
District Attorney Jerome's forces
seem equally ready to hasten the is
sue to a definite conclusion. Tho elder
ly Mrs Thaw has been here for several
days, visiting her son at the county
jail and having extended talks with
him on his legal and personal plans.
The long litigation has left its traces
upon her, but she still maintains her
attitude of confidence as to the final
outcome.
ThaW's stay in the county Jail has
been much a relief from the hardshipS
of life in the Matteawan Insane asy-
lutr and the Tombs, and his appear
ance today shows marked improvement
from tho haggard and worn look he
had at the time Of the trial.
Court opened for the hearing on the
habeas corpus writ at II o'clock. An
hour before that time the corridor Of
the Duchess county court house was
filed with curiosity seekers DESTROYS
of hearing the proceedings. Admission
to the court room, however, was re-
stricted to persons holding tickets or
passes issued by the sheriff's office.
No official statement was made as to
the program to be followed. but it was
understood about the court house that
the attorneys for Thaw would first of
all attempt to rest their case upon the
question of the constitutiOnalty of his
commitment to- the Matteawan hos
pital.
AS outlined in The Associated Press
dispatches last week, Thaw's counsel
contend that Justice bowling did not
conform to the legal requirements
when he committed Thaw to Mattea-
wan. They assert therefore that he is
being deprived of his liberty without
die process of law They asked JUS
tice Morschauser first to pass upon
this question before proceeding with
the examination of witnesses to deter
mine Tnaw's present mental condition.
1t seemed probable that the hearing of
arguments on the constitutional ques-
ton would take about all the time OF
the hearing today and that the TAX
ing of testimony as to Thaw's sanity
would be deferred to an adjourned
date.
The county Jail where Thaw is con-
fined nominally in the custody of the
court, is on the third floor of the
court house, directly over the court
room. BY means of a private elevator
Thaw can pass from the Jail to the
court room without being seen by the
crowd. He arose at A. NJ. and fol-
loved the routine which has been his

he was lodged following his acquittal
on the ground of insanity of the charge
