1T IS well recognized fact that
the San Francisco woman is ex-
ceedingly particular about all the
little details OF her costume. These
mean q great deal-or. rather. they
mean everything-in the effect OF her
ensemble. She sees well to It that

color and adjusted properly; no shabby

Ter 70 spend most of their dress allow
anee on these little accessories and
who content themselves with very plain
gowns and hats, feeling that they are
better dressed IN the end.
And the woman OF wealth spends a
small fortune on these little things.
Her gold bag, alone. rather 8 plain
one and not set with stones, has cost
more than her most gorgeous dinner
gown. and the barrette fastened under
her low coiffure is even more expen-
sive than the bag.
OF course. these things must all be
proportioned 20 ones means. It IS an
evidence OF bad taste TO wear one
article that IS very much superior to
ell the other details Of the costume.
And II is not necessary that they
should be expensive. IL only they are
complete and In keeping.
The wells which are most approved
this year are the heavy Russian nets.
These have large woven dots set at

IDENTIFY HANDWRITING
OF ACCUSED MURDERER
San Franciscan Charged with Sending
Victim Poison in an
Envelope

SAN FRANCISCO, April 21.-Photo-
graphic reproductions of the handwrit-
ing of the defendant were shown today
in Judge DUNES court at the trial OF
John Walter Wilson, accused of hav-
ing murdered Harry Boas by means
of poison sent in a letter.
Theodore Kytka, the expert pointed
out the similarity of Wilson'S writing
and that of the letter and on the en-
velope in which the poison was mailed.
Martin Boas, brother of the murdered
man, identified Wilson's entries on the
books of the Boas electrical business.
1t was pointed out that Wilson's mis-
spelling of several common words was
found in the letter which led Boas to
take the poison in the belief that it
was medicine.
Before he left the stand Theodore
Kytka, the handwriting expert, swore
that the writing on the envelope that
contained the fatal powder was that
of the defendant. Kytka was fol-
lowed by two other experts on hand
writing, who corroborated his testi-
mony.
With the ending of the expert testi-
mony the prosecution rested its case.
Attorney Harvey then announced that
Wilson himself would be the first wit
ness called to the stand by the de-
Tense.

PUBLIC OPINION BELIEVES
SULTAN WILL BE RETAINED

LONDON, April 21.-One of the Con-
stantinople correspondents describes
the city as becoming decidedly bored"
at the slow movement of the investing
army.
Public opinion seems to incline to the
belief that the sultan, after ALL will be
retained on the throne, with proper
precautions to safeguard the constitu-
ton.
In many special dispatches the delay
in the occupation of the capital is at
tributed to negotiations to this end
If a settlement of this nature is
reached, it will be due in a large de-
gree to the attitude of the second army
corps, which does not desire that the
sultan be deposed. 1t is said also the
influence of the German emperor will
have had something to do with it,
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
saws it is believed the sultan hopes to
gain time and make terms but that he
Is not properly informed as to the seri-
business of the situation. He Is appeal
ing for help to certain European
monarch whom he regards as his per-
sonal friend.
So many conflicting reports are in
circulation that 1t is impossible to as
certain anything definite.
The important news tonight is that
the feet will be sent from Constantine
ple. ostensibly for maneuvers, as the
attitude of the navy has been doubtful.
This will remove a source of possible
danger,

House
tBy Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The snug
Cling operations which have been con-
Quoted at the port of New York by
means of trunks left upon the steam
ship piers until they could be removed
without detection are now alleged to
have been carried on by firm OF I'M
porters and dressmakers' supplies OF
this city.
The firm, which has an office In
Paris, is said to have acted as clear
ing house in this country for American
dressmakers all over the country, who
received the goods so smuggled by the
payment of 15 per cent instead of 60
per cent in customs duties. 1t Is un-
derstood proceedings will be instituted
against these dressmakers.
The goods were sent to the Paris
office of the smuggling firm in the in
itials of the ultimate purchasers In
America. 1t is stated that several spe-
cial agents of the customs house In
this city were ordered to be dismissed
few days ago.
The firm in question is understood
to be one of a dozen firms which have
been engaged in the illicit traffic for a
year, through which the government
has suffered loss amounting to about
81, 100000 a year. 1t was in connection
with the investigation of these cases
that an offer of $260,000 recently was
made to Collector Loeb to discontinue

SANTA FE PLEADS GUILTY;
is FINED 500 BY COURT
First Case to Test "Hours of Labor"
Law Heard Before Judge
Lands

CHICAGO. April 21.-Judge Lands in
the limited States district court here
today. in the test case against the San
ia Fe railroad in the nine-hour law
governing telegraphers, upheld the law.
The contention between the government
and the railroads is as to what the law
means. The Santa Fe employed two
operators who, by the expedient OF
three-hour rest in the midst of twelve
hour tricks, really performed actual
labor only nine hours each day.
The government alleges that this con-
stituted a violation of the law. Judge
Lands admitted that the construction
of the statute was open to question,
and by agreement of counsel the de-
fenaant was allowed to plead guilty and
was fined $100. The decision will be
appealed as the case is the first one
started under the "hours of labor" law.

catch a glimpse of the distinguished

son and the captain, made a landing.

place of shelter in chairs on natives

Mr.. Roosevelt at dinner. Tomorrow
