PLACE BAN ON
FREAK CLOTHING

CHICAGO, July 9.-Woe for the
college youth, the negro gambler and
the fiashy bartender. The tailor
convention today, figuratively speak
ing, tore freak clothes to tatters.
What was left of the drop front, the
four-inch trousers cuff, the frilly
pocket flaps and other innovations vi
the season wasn't enough to interest
the ragpicker. Indignation of thu
tailors over bizarre garments rose to
a high pitch, and they vowed that
even college boys would have to sub
nit to conservative clothes in this
fall, even if football gatherings came
to look like a camp meeting.
In the campaign against cherishf I.
fads, John e. Spann sounded tht
Keynote" in his speech. Your sal,
walton lies in stemming the, torren
of freakish garments" he said to the
assembled cutters. 'Tailors origi
mated the so-called ginger-brea'
styles for their college patrons, b."
they have got beyond us.
Ausual fabrics we're also selected
blythe tailors for discard. Conserv
atism in shades will replace all re
bra" styles.

LETTER HAD
MANY AFFINITIES

CHICAGO, July 9.-Hugh Crabbe,
once confidential clerk of the Levi z.
Letter estates who insists that Joe
Letter, recently married to Miss WILL
Jams, of Washington, D. c., owes
him $500 for past services, trained
new guns on the young millionaire
and former grain king today in
Judge Heaps court.
Crabbe told at length of ALLEGED
troubles between the Letters and
their son-in-law, Lord Curzon; re-
lated a tale of Joe Letter spending
$4,000 on "affinities," and of nu.
merous other irregularities.
While the accusations of Crabbe,
who is suing the Letters for back sal
airy during his employment as their
steward, caused sensation in soci,
ETY., they were Indignantly denied b.
friends of the family as malicious
falsehoods
In one OF the most startling 'sreve
lations" brought forth by Crabbe, il
was declared that Lord Curzon has
called Joe Letter "a huge liar and SC
dishonest that no respectable persor
would associate with him."
This assertion was backed b.
Crabbe with a letter, which he sal:
had been received by Lord Curzol
and which. it was declared, would b,
produced later in court.

THE HEARST THIEVES.

If Golfers Weekly has the right of it. and there is no reason to believe 1t has not, then the inside facts of the puzaling question of the last few weeks as to how Mr. Hearst got his now famous Standard oil letters is solved. The public has been much concerned with the letters as effectine Mir, Arch bold. Governor Haskell and innumer- able politicians of national repute, but there is another side of the letter incident which is now of great human interest. The letters, 1t seems, were stolen during 1905 by negro porter named William w. Winfield, who was in the employ of the Standard oil and who sold them to the Hearst people through a white so-hetween named Charles stump, who shared the profits, for something over $12,oOo. Both arc still living,
 However cnlightening to the public the letters may have been. the fact must not be lost sight of that they were deliberately stolen and that those who stole them are none the less culprits. At times one cannot but be- come heartily sckened hy the never ceasing effort to obtain petty graft In a great city like New York This spirit permeates every strata of life, from the "swelldom' of Fifth avenue to the Bowery, it is found in politics, commercial life and the professions.

Although no mention whatever was made of politics in the Inquiries sent out. fully one-third made specific reference to the coming election in their replies of the latter all but one unequiyocably advocated the election of MT Taft. Their general slogan was: With the election of Mir Taft we feel sanguine that business will take a big iump." As the Wall Street Journal comments Much Is heard in the cam paign about the wage earner But how about the man behind the payroll who Is weighed down with the responsibility for the employment and payment of wage earncrs? Is he to be blamed for taking into account the effect upon commerce and industry of the election of this or the other candidate? The man behind the payroll Is the most im- portant factor In the industrial situa- tion, and if he ia convinced that the triumph of one party or the other will prolone depression, further unsettle business, shake confidence and fright on capital dee rtr int it's It, it Is his plain duty to act upon that conyic- ton Dollars do not grow on bushes. nor can they be coined from the super heated atmosphere emitted by the gab- fosters who think with their vocal or gans"

THE BusINrss OUTLOOK.

TO those who have been anxiously awaiting the return of actual prosperi- ty locally and nationally, an article in the current Commercial Record will come like mama in a wilderness. That publication must necessarily he of conservative nature, II would not at all he for it's interests to peryert tho facts and klndle a foundatonless hope in the hearts Of its many readers of the commercial world. Not only does the Commercial Record find contemporary manufacturing and mercantile condi- tions in Connecticut to be of the best but it says: Probably no other state is able through It's diversified indus tries, to furnish a more accurate bar on1eter of trade conditions in general than Connecticut" from which 1t may. he inferred that the whole country is now far along the road to Commercial Wellvfle
 The Record finds from inquiries made in oyer fifty lines of industry, that fac tories are running with longer hours in this section and with more men, the output being greatly increased To one significant fact 1t especially calls atten- ton. One concern in Waterbury has started work on new plant to cost upwards of $l50,0o0 a step which would never be taken during times of depres- i sion. That trade paper concludes as follows "The pessimlstic feeling has given place to a firm belief that busi- ness will be back to normal in the im- mediate future and that after election is over the volume of business win be greater than ever" The reports of the men on the road generally are to the effect that the shelves and counters of the retailers are quite bare of goods Lines of stock are broken The re- tailers are planning, figuring and walt ing for election to be over and then they will veritably flood the manufac- turers with their orders
 As has been repeatedly asserted, Mir. Bryan, as a presidential candidate, would not offer this year the great un- certainty to the commercial interests of the country in the event of his cleo tion that he has in former campaigns. In the main, his campaigning this fall has been of a conservative nature. It is not so much the Bryan of today that is feared in case of his success at the polls as the return of the well-known radical Bryan of yesterday,
 There can be little doubt however, that the manufacturers of the country see a grave element of danger to their commercial interests in the event of Mr, Rryans election to the presidency American industries, for example, the official organ of the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers, has received an- suers from the three thousand mem- bers Of that association in reply to cer- tain inquiries it has made as to the commercial conditions of the moment and the outlook of the immediate fu-
