The ONE-PLECE TUNIC.

Among the pTettiest OF the new fash
ions IS the Oue-pieCe tunIc that looks
like a long coat. 1t is tight fitting faS-
tened double breasted with two large
buttons, and cut away sharply from the
lower one 10 the hem. Il differs from a
coat. in that It has no collar or revers,
and is placed over yDke Of lace or net.
This Is quite elaborate. II Is trimmed
with gold lace embroidered nlet bands,
and sometimes bullion thread. 4 few
OF these tuuics show bretelles over the
shoulder OF heavy embroidery done on
the fabric. The skirt under such q tUnlc
IS usuaLE OF rat or chlnnn cloth.

Civil VS.. Military Courts.


Mt is a solec.sm TO speak Of either
the civil or the military courts as being
the highest. The civil and the military
courts are Independent Of one another
There is no appeal from one to the
other, either way, except in the infre-
Quent cases where a writ OF habeas cor
pus Is invoked 20 bring an accused man
70 trial in the civil courts. This proceed
ure has been followed to secure a jury
trial for men committed to hospitals for
the insane by military trial Such cases
nave no bearing on the general fact
that the civil court IS supreme in its
own field, and the military court is
equally supreme and independent IN It's
Held. It should be added that there IS
an appeal from a military court 20 the
head Of the department, ana thence to
the President.

GRAY AND PINK Wells.

Even on inclement days the girl Of to-
day wants TO look her best She does
not wear any old hat and frock for fear
Of rain. but she dresses herself from
head TO foot N a costume built for the
weather.
II is now her custom TO save her good
and expensive FISH net wells for dry
weather. so on wet days she wears a
close face veil Of deep rose pink chiffon
and over this a thin veil Of gray sewing
silk.
These are snugly pinned over her hat,
covering the trimming and neatly
tucked into place at the nape Of the
neck and at the top.

NEW WAY WITH RUFF.

Women are quite used by this time to
the tight pIeated run that ats up against
the neck. They have seen il and worn
1t in all manner Of materials. The new
thing however, is to have from three
to six inch close wired pIeating OF dlet
net or lace put into the coat This is
used on DireCtOire coats that have no
collars. The run is basted in around
the neck and down the front, and ends
at the first button 1t IS quite effective.

It is interesting to know that while
cOrsets are longer, the bones in them
ar. shorter. They 90 over part Of the
hip, but do not run down to the end o.

found disastrous, as they were constant
" breaking or bending and pushing the

Now the bones stop short enough to
prevent breakage, and the cOutille IS
strapped and stitched and fitted to the
figure for the rest Of the length.

TOWN IN MONTANA is SWEPT
AWAY
Breaking of Dam at Hauser Lake
Causes Heavy Dsmage-Bridge
Company Liable for
Accident
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
HTLENA, Mont, April 15.-With the
little town of Craig wiped entirely off
the map, thousands of head of cattle
and other live stock drowned and scores
of valuable ranches greatly damaged,
the loss from the flood caused by the
breaking of the great dam at Hauser
lake yesterday, 1t is conservatively esti-
mated, will reach several million dol
lars.
In view. however, of the contract be-
tween the Helena Power Transmission
company, owners of the dam, and the
Wisconsin Bridge and Iron company OF
Milwaukee, the latter company, 1t is
said, will be liable for all damages re-
sulting from the flood.
After making a careful examination
of the dam site today since the water
has receded, A. H. Gerry, jr., general
manager. Is of the opinion that the
wrecked structure can be rebuilt at q
cost of possibly less than $250,000.
That the dam will be rebuilt at once
and the construction of the third dam
at Wolf creek, which was approved by
Secretary of War Taft yesterday, will
not be delayed, is assured by a tele-
gram received today from former Gov
ernor Sam L. Hauser. president of the
Helena Power Transmission company,
who is now in New York.
Hauser's telegram reads: 1.-THE dam s
entire cost represents only about 10 per
cent of the entire amount of money in
vested by the two companies, hence
there is no fear but that the dam will
be rebuilt. The third dam will also be
built, as we have the money and the
government has approved the plan, be-
sides our companys customers save
every year more than the cost of the
dam"
Tonight the indications are that the
water has receded during the day suf-
ficiently to prevent any great damage
at Great Falls. Every precaution has
been taken to protect the Boston and
Montana smelter, which is situated on
the river bank at Great Falls. and 1t Is
now believed that the plant will not
suffer from the flood waters. The river
Is becoming normal at Craig and Cas-
cade, and no further damage is antici-
mated.

days had proven the wisdom of this
course.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN
UPR0AR
Adherents of Nebraskan Declare They
VIII Carry the Fight to Denver.
Resolutions Passed During
Excitement

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 15.-In a two
days session which began Tuesday
with bitter factional disputes and was
concluded late tonight amid scenes bor-
dering on the riotous, the Democratic
state convention squelched boom for
William j. Bryan; drove the Kings
county faction, headed by Senator
Patrick H. McCarren. from their seats
and chose an unpledged delegation to
the national convention at Denver
The last hours business was tran
sacted amid hubbub that made 1t
almost impossible to determine the will
of the delegates, as expressed in their
voting.
During the day the Bryan men, who
had already been defeated in the COM
mittee on resolutions, abandoned their
attempt to have the national delegates
instructed for Mr.. Bryan. The real
fight of the convention centered in an
attempt to oust a large number of the
Brooklyn delegates, headed by Senator
McCarren. This attempt was success
full, as was the move to have the state
committee name it's successor, instead
of it's members being elected as for
merly by the several senatorial dis
tricts.
Carries Fight to Floor
Senator McCarren, beaten in conven-
tion, carried his fight to the floor, and
before he was voted out of that body
threatened that never in. the lifetime
of those present would Tammany be
able to elect another Democratic mayor.
McCarren was cheered hissed, inter-
rupted and insulted.
When the new state committee plan
was put through there was wild
scene Protesting delegates climbed
upon chairs and screamed protests.
The chairman pounded for order until
his gavel was broken into bits and
then he called on fifty policemen to re-
store order. They failed.
Those on the stage crowded out the
chairman, until the sergeant-at-arms
was pitched into the orchestra pit.
Amid the din the chairman put and
declared carried the several resolutions
mapped out in committee. Then he
declared the convention adjourned.
Immediately afterward Harry Walk

SAN DIEGO, April 15.-The invita-
ton of Los Angeles has been extended
to Admiral Thomas and his response
was a hearty acceptance on behalf OF
the great Atlantic fleet. OF course this
form was more etiquette than anything
else, but It served to bring Los An
geles in close contact with officers of
the fleet and brought about a complete
understanding of the Los Angeles pro-
gram.
The Los Angeles committee, COM

ski, Col. Neville, Lieut.. Miner and Jo-
seph Scott accompanied by Maj. j. H.

mento. This was the car that three
weeks ago met Admiral Evans here
and bore lin to Paso Robes.
At $3.50 the tender Yankton came
from it's place alongside the Connecti-
cut and transported the committee to
the flagship. They were met by Capt.
Oslerhaus and Capt. Clark, chief of
staff to Admiral Thomas, who escorted
them to the admiral. There was lit

Chaffee extended a welcome on behalf
of Los Angeles and Admiral Thomas
