The neck piece which accompanies this
huff is shawl-like in its shape and has
for a lining the same white chiffon, yelled
also with heavy black silk lace, and a friH

The place that mink is assuming this
season in the furs shows that II is always
10 bold its status as a sort Of correlative
u the diamond With which il shares the
esteem Of the populace. Any sort Of a
mink garment. be it stole, set or coat, or
ever just a muff, is something Of an in
vestznent this season and is meant for wear
for many a long season.
The seasons handling Of mink has made
1t almost a serious rival Of that, the most
costly Of all furs, the Russian sable, But
II is the sables alone that woman can pile
on reckless e-XtrRvaEano and not even
look in the least overdressed. II il no
difficult matter to put q matter Of $4,000
into sables for a single tailored suit and
sable-trimmed and set to match. BY the
way, too, there are some sables owned by
Omaha society women that rival the best
that Russia has produced.
This season has resulted In the develop
ment Of a most charming series Of furs for
the various occasions. The very ''pioper"
motor coats is Of the black Siberian pony
or caracul, with black furs to match. The
street garb much in favor includes a
three-piece black lynx set with turban,
muff and collar. OF course, this does not
initiate against the wearing Of the staid
and highly proper seal IN the conventional
three piece sets and full length coat.
The long, white scat Of cony fur, with
muff Of white fox. is much in vogue for
opera wear now Ermine muffs and neck
pieces are highly approved for evening
wear. The ermine turbans are particularly
attractive.
A fad Of striking fsncifulness is the
wearing OF artificial flowers, the only kind
that won't freeze. With white furs the
delicate orchids are much worn. while vio-
lets are in favor with all furs. A brilliant
effect is gained from red poinsettRs worn
on caracul coats.

TANGL[ IS
AIRED IN COURT
President Martel of the Defunct
Institution Tells Of Assets
That Are Worthless
Secretary Of Securities Concern
Said to Have Dissipated
Fortune in Bonds

A. f. Martel, president of the de-
funct Market Street bank, told all that
he knew about the banks assets yes
assets bear directly on the value of the
bonds of the Market Street securities
company, for which Kelleher &
Browne, tailors. seek receiver. Their
suit grows out of the refusal of the
company to pay them so cents on the
an equal amount of deposits.
The securities concern was the last
hope of the bank people TO restore SOL
vency. In this it failed But accord
ing to Attorney Joseph Campbell, it
has enriched its promoters. Arthur
Crane, its secretary, Campbell declared
in court, has dissipated a fortune in
money received from the sale of its
bonds.
The trial, which is split among three
interests, had it's origin in $3.50 de-
posted by the plaintiff tailors in the
bank just previous to its failure The
securities company was later organ
lied 1t proposed TO take over the
banks securities and issue bonds
With the depositors exchanging de-
posit books for bonds the bank would
have that much additional capital and
would, it was stated. after five years
be able to restore its funds with inter
est. But the depositors were suspi-
cious Finally the entire assets were
bought from the bank by the Securi-
ties realization company of Chicago.
which paid off book holders at so cents
on the dollar.
Kelleher & Browne were early sup
porters of the securities company and
not only converted their deposit into
bonds, but bought up about $4,000
worth more. largely accepted in trade
Secretary Crane was one of their Gus
toners on the bond basis
Martel turned over certain securities
to the company to enable it to make a
showing in court during the fight
gainst the receivership, he said, and
has since been unable TO get them
back. He admitted in this regard that
the s225,0O0 worth of bonds of the
Sierra Nevada water and power COM
pany were valueless, although he told
Judge Sturtevant at that time that he
had once been offered $4,000 900 for
this property.

fendant by W. II. II. Hart, and various

According to the plaintiffs, the secu-

bonds KelIeher testified that when he
recently went to Crane for their money
Crane replied that they would nave TO
pay him 20 per cent commission.
Then they sued
Campbell said he did not hold F. M.

sponsible for the mismanagement, but
did so hold Secretary Crane.

WOMEN ARE AIDING
PORTOLA FESTIVAL
Fair Sex Are Doing All in Their
Power to Make the Fete
a Great Success
Finance Committee Makes Ur-
gent Appeal for Subscrip-
tiOns That Are Needed

The interest .that the women of San
Francisco are taking in the Portola
festival fund has been one of the sur
prises revealed by the campaign for
inscriptions conducted by the finance
committee That the women of the city
We're imbued with civic pride in a high
degree has been well known. but the
surprise to the finance committee came
through the large number of donations
made by them.
Ever since the Portola idea was
launched. San Francisco women have
taken the success of the festival to
heart While the recent appeal for
funds stimulated subscriptions, it start
ed a small deluge of donations from
the women of San Francisco.
BY mail and messenger the contri-
buttons of the women come in TO fes-
tiva1 headquarters. Neatly written
checks and crumpled bills, gold and
silver form the donations. Said a
member of the finance committee yes
terday:
"If every San Franciscan felt about
raising funds would be very easy
matter. While I realized that the
women were heart and soul for the
festival I had no idea that the num-
Der of contributions from them would
be so large"
URGENT NEED OF FUNDS
The urgent need of funds for the fes-
tival is illustrated by the fact that
work commenced yesterday on the
decorations and iIIuminations- AL
though the fete Is a month away, it
will require rushing to complete the
display in time
The lack of funds delayed the start
ing of the work on the decorations and
illuminatios- Other very important de-
tails are being held up on account of
the slowness of subscriptions. In
short time it will be too late TO start
work on these things and they will
have to be abandoned A member Of
the finance committee said yesterday:
People do not seem to realize the
urgency of the need for funds. The
money is needed now, not a week or
two weeks hence. a prominent man
came to me recently and said he would
subscribe a substantial amount If GER
tain other men would do the same The
other men said they would subscribe
il the others would. Now much valua-

men together.
CROWD OF VISITORS
The fact that an immense crowd of
visitors will be in San Francisco dur
ing PortoIa week grows palmer as the
festival draws nearer. From the num-
Der of inquiries made concerning rates
and reservations the railroad officials
predict that the crowds viii break all
records.
The more pleased the visitors are
with the festival the more money will
be spent here The Alaska -Yukon-Pa-
cific exposition in Seattle has proved
TO be one of the few fairssto pay divi-
dends- The merchants and business
men of Seattle have reaped harvest

will be worth to San Francisco ten
fold the money IL will cost.
