this position IN order to get out o.
town, having hurried from the scene
of the murder and sought out
his brother in Chinatown, who pro-
cured him the position. He admitte,
having borrowed $3.50 from Chm Gain,
proprietor of the Port Arthur restau
rant in Chinatown, who is also helC
in connection with the case. Incident
ally. he said that Leon Ling and Gnu
Gain had come to blows over the giri
in Chinatown some weeks ago. The po-
lice theory is that Leon killed the girl
because of her attentions to Chu Gain.
The confession serves but to clincb
the already prevalent belief that Leon
Ling killed the 20-year-old girl who
became initiated into the ways the
Chinese live through her mother. who
now has been taken to a sanitarium,
crazed with grief. It does not. how
ever, so far as can he learned, throw
any light as to where the murderer
is at present or the route which he
took in his fight from the city.

Chu Gain. who was arraigRed in the
Tombs police court this morning ano

rearrested later at the instance OF

ner. Chu Gain, who speaks English

lights upon the case. He readily fur
nished bail after the examination.
Three other Cinnamon are still held

and Chin Song, waiter. With the

The Piano Contest Gets New Start.
Girls Get Busy.

Some of our piano contest girls have
been off visiting this week, yet there has
been unusual interest in the races for
the two fine pianos we are going to give
away in the near future.
The fact is the girls friends have
been especially active during the past
few days and many have been dropping
into the office or mailing their sub
scriptions to us and voting for their
favorites. This is gratifying both to The
Commercial and to the young ladies,
however the young ladies should get out
and hustle, if they want to win one Of
these fine pianos or any OF the other
valuable prizes we are giving away from
week to week. Your friends will not
do it all. If they find you are not work
ing they are liable to give their votes to
others

cuIar style. The newest princess frocks
have a fitted cuirass effect, extending
well below the hips and below this are
box-pleats or a gathered founce effect
THE INDISPENSABLE BRAssIERE.
The brassiere is now as indispensable
as her corset to every woman who pays
any attention to the fit of her gowns. A
properly made brassiere holds and
moulds the figure above the corset,
bearing all the strain which otherwise
stretches and wears the dress waist, and
also preventing the ugly line at the top
of the corset which often shows SO dis
tressingly across the back Of the bodice.
A new style brassiere that closes in
front has three small cross bones at the
side of the bust which prevent the fig
ure from spreading, and secure the
fashionable tcjmness of line In the
back closing surphoe brassiere, there is
a new model made with reinforcing
shield under the arm, which helps both
the shape and wear of the garment.
Both are made by the Deberyoise Co..,
and can be found at most corset de-
partments in the best stores.
LOVELY SUMMER FRoCKs.
A very pretty, but by no means ex-
pensive summer frock, is made of rose
colored linen or one of the heavy cot
ton fabrics closely initiating linen. It
is cut with the front panel extending
down to the feet in princess style, but
the side panels are cut off about half
way below the hips and heightened by
a deep side pleating of the material that
extends from each side of the panel
around to the back The neck is cut
out in a small square to display lace
guimpe A touch of braiding in pink
soutache outlines the square neck,
trims the sleeves above long lace cuffs
and heads the pleated iounce effect.
VARIETY OF STYLES.
An immense variety of materials are
used for summer frocks Pongee is
enormously popular, 50 also is linen,
batiste, Marquisette, cotton voile, cham
bray and that extremely useful fabric,
foulard. The revival of foulard comes
as boon to womankind. 1t is used
for everything from plain morning
frocks to elaborate afternoon gowns and
in light shades even for dancing dresses.

GROWING STATESMAN.
"Savoyard" Places Congressman Gar
rett's Name on the Honor Roll.

retts Name on the Honor Roll.
Among the very promising younger
members of the House is Finis J. Gar
rett, of Tennessee. Mr.. Blaine remarks
in his book that man rarely makes
his mark in either House of our Con-
gress unless he attained his seat therein
ere he had reached forty, and there are
just about enough exceptions to yindi-
cate the rule. Thaddeus Stevens was a
remarkable exception, being 5S when he
| first went in the House at Washington.
John G. Carlisle was AZ in 1877, when
he first came to Congress. James B.
Beck was As, William c. p Breckin-
ridge As, and numerous other notably
| triumphant careers in Congress might
be cited as exceptions to the rule laid
down by Mr.. Blaine.
Finis Garrett is descendant of the
second generation of South Carolinian
who settled in West Tennessee i'll 1880,
locating in Weakly County. The
father of the young Congressman, yet
living, is farmer, and / opine Cum
berland Presbyterian in religious faith,
and jump to that conclusion because
never knew christened 'Finis"
whose father did not belong to that
sect. There was a noted minister of
that name, who was active in the Won
derful revival of 1903 in Middle
Tennessee, and he was one of the
founders of the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church
Mr.. Garrett was born in 1875 and
educated in the common schools and at
Mckenzie College, graduating in 1897.
He then taught school and studied law
under the instruction and in the Office
Of Charles M. Ewing and came to the
bar in 1899. He practiced his profess
sion diligently and with success until
1904, when he was nominated for Con-
gress by the Democracy of the Ninth
Tennessee District. 1t was remark
able tribute to the young man, then
under thirty, for he beat Rice A. Pierce
in blanket primary $500 votes in a
total of $4,000. Rice Pierce was not
only & veteran politician, but he had
served fourteen years in Congress,
where he became conspicuous figure
and trusted leader But where the
young man discovers more than ordi-
nary capicity he always has the advan-
tage over the older competitor. The
Benjamin of the family is ever the
farorite.s
Young Garret took his seat in the
House upon the assembling of the
Fifty-ninth Congress in 1905 and has
been twice reelected. He is man of
pleasant manners and engaging ad-
ultSS, Will vi SlJCCCH ldI
above the average Congressman. He
has made several speeches in which he
displays fine forensic abilities, and
they evidenced an in dustry and
talent for research that would be the
making of far less bountifully gifted
man.
His speeches on the tariff were ex-
ceptionally strong, and he held his own
with veterans in the running colloquies
that are the real. test of the parlia-
debate. With strong mind,
a capacity for laborious and long con-
tinued study, engaging manners, an
courtesy a ready and fluent
speech, attended with elegant phrase
ology and eloquent delivery, this man
will be a familiar personality in every
political circle before the world is many
years older, or | am more mistaken

Special Prize July II.

TO the young lady securing the most
subscription votes from July 3 to Satur-
day, July II, at 6 O'Clock p. m. we will
give a beautiful gold Iocket and chain.
This is worth little effort on the part
of any girl and is one of the most valu-
able special prizes to be awarded in the
contest. The winner of the special
silver set prize is debarred from winning
this locket and chain, but her votes count
all the same on the piano. In fact all
votes count all the time on the pianos.
During this period ending July II we
will give 5000 extra free votes with every
$40 turned in at one time on new sub
Scribers or 1000 for every $40 turned in
on DID, or renewals. This will give
every girl a good chance to pile up lot
of votes in a short time.
AT noon Wednesday, June 80, we
counted the votes as made up from cash
receipts and find many of the girls very
close together. This is somewhat of a
surprise and shows that the chances of.
winning prizes is practically equal.
This count does not include any of the
free ballots from the ballot box. These
however would not change results very
much:
