Unconscious All Day, He Passed Away
Without Suffering; Wife and
Children at His Side.

Cooperstown, N Y.-The death Of
the Right Rev. Henry Goldman Potter
occurred at his summer home, Fern
leigh, and Immediately the following
signed statement was given out by
the physicians:
Bishop Potter passed very peace
fully away at S.35 p. m. His strength
gradually failed during the past TWEEN
ty-four hours, and there was no phys

three sons of Mrs. Potter, F. Ambrose
Clark, Edward S. Clark, Stephen G.
Clark and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark,
all of Cooperstown.
It was on the 23d day of June that
the present illness came on, heat pros
tration having played part in the re-
turn of the malady. 1t was not until
Saturday, the 9th, that the case as
sumed very serious phase. The
Bishops condition varied for many
days.
Bishop Potter had been Bishop of
New York since 1886. He was elected
Assistant Bishop in September, 1888.
His uncle, the Right Rev Horatio
Potter, Bishop of New York, was
then ill., A few months before he

five-gored under petticoat makes a
desirable feature of the wardrObe.
This one can be laid in inverted
pleats at the back or gathered as
liked, although the former method is
to be preferred unless the figure is
exceptionally slight. 1t can be made
from lingerie materials and trimmed
with embroidery or lace and it is also
suited to flannel skirts. Also it can
be finished at the upper edge with a
belt or under-faced as liked.
The skirt is made in five cores and
when the frill is used it is arranged
over the lower edge. The side cores
are fitted by means of hip darts, so
doing away with all fulness at that
point.

Separate Hat Trimmings.

One of the novelties of the day is
to have half dozen trimmings for
one hat. Long ago, when economy
went hand in hand with variety,
women often did this trick, just as
they furnished up black frock with
bows Of different colored ribbon and
wore it over different colored slips.
The thing was done differently then.
A hat was swept of one kind of trim
ming and another kind substituted,
different in idea and fabric, as well
as in color, The way they obtain
different trimming now is to make
crown bands with octopus bows of
varying colors of taffeta and satin
ribbon. These they attach to the
hat with strong pins that have col
ored glass heads to match in color.

Matching Waists.

There are waists made of guipure
lace in dull colorings, either broad in
sertions being employed or the all
over lace. They are mounted usually
Upon matching taffeta, and are worn
with self-colored skirts of wolfe or
other lightweight materials used in
the construction Of suits. The idea
Is not new one. but the perfection
reached in coloring laces to match
The various fabrics which enter into
the makeup of suits makes these lace
waists very attractive adjuncts to the
semi-colored costume.

Passages From President Roose-
velt's Speech Telling Why He
Demands a First Glass Nav,


want resistless fighting navy,
because it is the most effective guar
antee of peace that this country can
have.
No fight was ever won yet except
by hitting, and the one unforgivable
offense in any man is to hit soft.
When this nation does have to go
to war, such war will only be eX-
cusable if the nation intends to ham
mer it's opponent until that opponent
quits fighting.
If war comes at any time in the
future, that administration under
which it comes will indeed be guilty
of folly if it uses the fleet to protect
any port. Let the port be protected
by the Notifications.
The Monroe Doctrine won't be OBJ
served by foreign nations with snf-
ficient strength to disregard it, when
once it becomes their interest to dis
regard it, unless we have navy suf-
ficient to make our assertion of the
doctrine good.
If we have coast defense navy
only we had better at once turn over
the Panama Canal to some stronger
and drawer nation.
1t is very possible that we shall
have to exercise continually greater
supervision, a continually greater ex-
ercise of the right of rejection among
immigrants that come hither, and
shall, it may be, take an attitude that
will tend at first to provoke friction.

s29,OOO,O0O OIL TRUST
FINE REVERSED BY COURT
United States Judges Censure
Lands and Order a Retrial.
Declares There Was No Justification
For Bringing in Standard Oil Co.
of New Jersey-Each Carload
Not an OfTense.

NOL an OHcnSe.
Chicago.-The United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in unanimous
decision completely reversed Judge
Lands decision in the Standard Oil
case, wiped out the famous $29,240,-
600 fine and remanded the case to
the lower court for retrial. The
opinion was written by Judge Peter
S. Grosscup and was fully concurred
in by Judges Seaman and Baker.
The reversal was more than tenn
porary setback for the Government,
inasmuch as the upper court cut the
ground out from under the Federal
prosecutors in several extremely i'm
portant features. The reversal was
based On the following points:
That Judge Lands was wrong in
assuming that it was the business of
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana
to make sure that the rates rendered
to it by the Alton Railroad were the
lawfully published rates. This. it
was held, threw an unfair burden
upon the shipper, whoever he might
be, and tended to check rather than
promote industry.
That Judge Lands was wrong in
his view that the number of offenses
involved were the number of car
loads of property transported regard
less of whether each carload constt-
tuted the whole or part only of a
single transaction resulting in ship
ment.
That Judge Lands was wrong in
basing his fine, $29,240,000, upon
the wealth Of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, which the upper
court held was not defendant, in
stead of upon the capital stock of
$1,000,00O of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, the legal defendant.
The little room on the seventh
floor of the Federal building, where
the Appellate Court sits, was crowded
with attorneys and other spectators
when Judge Grosscup, followed by
Judges Seaman and Baker, entered
from behind the curtain at 1925
o'clock.
After Judge Seaman had read off
a number of unimportant decisions
he gave way to Judge Grosscup, who
called off mo. 1407, case of the Stan
dard Oil Company of Indiana, plain
tiff, in appeal, VS.. the United States.

and case remanded for new trial"
There was stir that the bailiffs
could not check.
is there anything further?" called
out Judge Grosscup. IF not, this
court is now adjourned.
And with big buzz the crowd
poured out excitedly into the hall.
The affair had taken less than four
minutes.
Following the unanimous decision
the Federal attorneys announced that
the Government had thirty days with
in which to file petition for re-
hearing, and that it would be filed
within the allotted period

UNITED STATES MUST HAVE
A HARD HITTING NAVY
UnforgivabIe to Hit Soft" Roose-
welt Says in War College Speech.
OPENS NEWPORT CONFERENCE
War Excusable Only in Case Nation
''Intends to Hammer Opponent
Until That Opponent Quits
Fleet Must Be 'FootIess."

Newport, r. AT the end of
perilous sea trip from Oyster Bay to
Newport, during which his own and
his family's lives were imperilled
when the yacht Mayfiower ran down
and sank lumber schooner in the
Sound, President Roosevelt appeared
before the Naval War College here
and made the strongest plea he has
ever made for O greater navy.
The plea amounted to Presi-
Dental demand for more battleships,
more sailors and better fighting
equipment without delay And cast
ing off the mask of diplomacy in
which he hitherto has yelled his pub
lie utterances on this subject, the
President frankly gave the country
inferential notice that the restriction
of Japanese immigration. which he
advocates, may very possibly"
plunge this country into war with
Japan unless the navy is made big
enough to awe the Orientals into ac-
quiescence.
The speech delivered to body of
men, the majority of whom are fight
ing officers, won instant appreciation
and the Presidents trenchant de-
mands were enthusiastically ap-
plauded. AS a result it is learned the
suggestions for the construction OF
our fighting craft hereafter will come
more from the officers of the line than
from the bureau-or swivel chair
chiefs.
In secret conference following the
public speech fourteen Rear-Ad-
mirals, only few of whom are on
the retired list, faced the President.
He insisted, during the hours discus
sion, that existing methods must be
revised if the maximum of con-
structive efficiency is to be attained
in the building of the nations war
ships. He declared that a way must
be found to avert effectively such re-
suits as have provoked recent criti-
cism of certain constructive features
of the new battleship North Dakota
and her sister ship, the Delaware,
both of the Dreadnougnt type. Com
manders Albert L. Key and William
S. Sims, whose reports to the National
Executive have levelled these criti-
cisms, personally participated in the
discussion and refused to recede from
their position.
The President was entertained at
luncheon by Admiral Merrill, presi-
dent of the Naval War College. Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children did not
come ashore from the Mayfiower dur
ing the forenoon. At p. m. Mr..
Roosevelt returned to the Mayflower
and the yacht sailed for Oyster Bay,
the naval vessels in the harbor firing
salutes.
