IS STUMPED
Refuse to Take a Chance on
A Number of Sheath
Gowns.
CHANGE WAS TOO GREAT.

New York, Aug. 15-Evidently the
British business man, as typified by
the members of the London Lloyds
does not believe that the sheath
gown is destined to become popular in
the United States. At any rate the
members of the famous London insur
ance company refused to issue a pol
icy for $4,000 on consignment oil
sheath" gowns recently imported
from Paris by local department
store.
The uptown merchants, feeling
somewhat skeptical as 70 just how
we'll the latest Partisan custom would
take with New York women, asked an
insurance broker to obtain policy in
surfing the sale Of the gowns-in other
words to insure the popularity of the
Sheath" gown.
The Britisher knew that the Lon.
don Lloyds were willing to write a
policy on anything from a presidential
election to the safeguarding of an au
tomobile race course, or the fluctua
tons of the stock market promptly
applied for a policy on the Sheath
gowns.
To his surprise, however. he was, to
use his own words, turned down
cold" He applied to several other
companies, with the same result.

A DOUBLE HANGING
Man and Woman Will Swing
In Kansas Despite Con-
trary State Laws.
MURDERED THREE PEOPLE.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. Is. - Frank
Schneck and Mrs. Mollie Stewart will
be hanged for the murder on Feb. 4,
1907, of Mrs. Schneck and two chill
dren despite the fact that the Kansas
law prohibits capital punishment. Gov.
Hoch today received the death war
rants for the execution.
This peculiar legal contradiction
arises from the fact that although the
anti-capital punishment law was pass.
ed by the legislature four days before
the murders were committed it did
not go into effect until the following
June.
Under the constitution no retroact.
i've law may be passed. Consequently
Schneck and Mrs. Stewart must re.
ceive the penalty in force at the time
their crime was committed which was
death for murder in the first degree
They were not tried for a year after
the anti-capitl punishment law went
into effect.

LABOR SOCIALISTS
DODGE SUavE|LL ANCE
FrenChmen Have Plan on Foot
For New Exchange.

Paris, Aug. IA movement is on
foot among the revolutionary organi-
cations of the Paris Labor Exchange.
which is the official seat of the trade
unions affiliated under the general IL
tie of Confederation Generals du Ira
vail, to build an independent exchange
free from administrative surveillance.
The Labor Exchange is at present a
hotbed of revolutionary Socialism. 1t
is a laboratory for the cultivation of
strikes. It's legitimate objects. sane
toned by the law and even assisted
financially by the municipality, are
often perverted by the leaders of the
central organization. The trade I'm
ions of the Department of the Seine
are now grouped in a fairly well-dfsci-
plined body. This Union des Syndi-
cate now announces its intention to
ignore the advantages offered by the
municipality and to appeal to the sec
retaries of the labor organizations in
the department to found an entirely
independent exchange of their own.

feet long and fifty feet wide in the
clear on the inside, free from posts
or distractions of any kind, and

lets for both men and women, and
stands for washing both vehicles and
horses, and a liberal number Of COM
modious' harness rooms.
The remainder of the building, one

hundred and seventy-six feet, is for
the exclusive use of three hundred
and forty-four stalls; these being in
eight continuous rows of forty-three
stalls each, separated by aisles twen-
ty-two feet wide, thus allowing ample
space for large crowds of visitors and
spectators
Over this part of the building the
roof is of saw-tooth construction with
all openings to the east and the sash
of same operated in batteries stimuli
taneously across the entire roof, thus
providing an abundance of ventilation
and admitting the sun to the inner
most parts, insuring a thoroughly dry
stable floor at all times.

hard rolled clay floors, stall chains,
metal hangers with feed boxes, and
hitch racks. The building is also pro-
vided with ample space for the stor-
age of feed, watering troughs and
MIGRANTS. 1t is also wired for electric
lights. During the fair this barn will
be used exclusively for the heavy
draft, coach and light harness horses.

WOMEN HAVE STRONG
DESIRE To co TO SEA
Applications for Jobs on Ships
Numerous.

New York, Aug. 15.-Apparently the
desire of women to go to sea in an
official capacity is widespread, and
this inclination is confined to no spec
ial type or age. Stenographers, sec
retaries, college women, undergrad
yates and graduates, have overrun a
local steamship office on hearing the
company was thinking of engaging
women as pursuers, assistants and
filling the mails with applications,
leaving no doubt that, if the company
finally decides upon the innovation
there will be no lack of material for
all its vessels.

Shippers of Georgia Complain
Of the Situation.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 15.-Georgia
shippers have complained to the In

the recent increases in freight charg-

vance in Georgia alone means an ad-
ditional tax of from 100000 to
81, Oo0, 900 annually.

Aged Government Employe Does
Not Believe in Osler Theory

the difference In population considered,
is considerably less than here.
Sanitary experts express themselves
as being shocked at the conditions eX-
listing here and in many other Ameri-
can cities after what has been accom-
plished under most discouraging con-
ditions on the Isthmus of Panama.
They say there is absolutely no excuse
for the prevalence of such conditions,
and so far as Washington is concern
ed, a determined effort will be made
to eliminate them.
| Government psychologists. chemists
and experts in other branches of sci
ence are now investigating the condi-
tions prevailing in many hotels and
restaurants, among them some of the
best in the city and it is said that a
number of warrants will be issued for
the arrest of some OF the proprietors
of these establishments. The house
cleaning is to be genra1 and thorough
the nations capital will be turned in
side out, stood on it's end, and turned
upside down, and the scraping, dust
ing, spraying and touching up it will
re ceive will be a surprise to the ma
tives.
The few Washingtonians who are
not at the summer resorts have both
ears to the ground these days, one
pointing toward Oyster Bay, the other
toward Cincinnati If a thoughtful
Providence had blessed them with
| three ears'th third would be directed
/ towards Chicago, where things are go
| ing to happen this fall.
With President Roosevelt in Oyster
Bay with his hand upon the lever
which causes things to move; with
Mr. Taft sometimes in Cincinnati and
sometimes elsewhere; with Samuel
Gompers working like the proverbial
Trojan for democracy and jumping in
and out of Washington and with
Frank Hitchcock hopping with the ag
| ility of Texas sand dune flea over
this broad and favored land, it would
be difficult for a human being to have
sufficient number of ears to keep
tab on what's what all over the ma
ton.
Senator Elki2s and Senator Scott
| two stalwarts of the republican party
have been comforting more or less OF
| late and they, too, have been skipping
over the land. Both of these mem
| bers of the House Higher Up are fac
| tors not so much because they possess
powerful positions, but because both
are multi-millionaires and could aid
the national committee with sufficient
| simoleons themselves to carry on a
| cam paign if they cared to do so.
Mr.. Roosevelt is still the counsellor
and that is why an ear should be
pointed in his direction. Mr.. Taft is a
potential factor in the great national
drama and that is why he deserves an
ear Mr.. Hitchcock is the officiating
Aengineer of the steam roller. and he
| too deserves some consideration in
the little game of ears. To hear these
/ gentlemen express it, there is nc
doubt of the outcome, but no matter

| sidered, unless he is watched he car

he does the tortoise act. and everyone

event.
