Assistant Secretary to the President
Latta< Mr.. Latta is the official mes
senger from the White House to the
two houses of congress- and is a for
mer Kansan. He Tugs up all the
messages of the president and
solemnly presents them when the
houses are in session.
The first time Mr.. Latta delivered
a message to the senate is an oc-
casion well remembered. He is about
six and a half feet tall. and when he
appeared at the door of the chamber
with bundle of documents from
ratified. He was duly presented and
the formal reception by the vice
president came off, but Mr.. Latta sud-
denly lost his voice and had a hard
time unloading his impediments and
the proper formal speech. He man
aged to get through it, and in time
by reason, of course, of the constant
practice during the Roosevelt adj
ministration-acquir commend
able nonchalance about it.
But he never dreamed of appear
ing in any other costume than the
long and dignified black frock coat of
craftsmanship, 1t was supposed that
garb was as necessary for him as the
flowing robes of black which add
something to the terror which the
supreme justices have for lawyer
appearing before them the other day
in a natty sack suit and delivered his
message with the ease of a telegraph
boy dropping in with a message.
One explanation offered IS that Mr..
Latta has to make the trip so seldom
nowadays that he can't arrange to
have the long-skirted coat handy.
Anyhow, he produced a real shock.
and as he left the senate chamber
somebody grimly observed:

Fine Enbroideries for
Graduation Gowns
The Mills Co. Topeka

That the graduation gown should be adorned
with embroideries goes without saying, this
OF all others. The very beauty of the finer embrod
cries is enough to create the vogue for Them with
out help from the designers of gowns Grlish SIM
plcty IS gracefully accented by the long lines of in
sertlons used in panel designs-and the full ounce
softens the effect of severity. The finer lighter
laces are literally used in combination with en-
broideries.
There has been a time when we. have
shown so many, so beautiful trimmings for grad
uatlon gowns. The collections include some French
hand-loom embroideries that reproduce the effect
OF hand work with remarkable degree of accur-
acy.
There also sheer 1omcings of all widths-1S
20, % and q in. WIDEN Baby Irish evelet and
surface patterns and beautiful panel embroideries
that give the appearance of being embroidered on the
gown. The texture of the foundation can be easily
matched in white goods
Matched sets are shown in great variety of de-
signs-the founce, with two edges and one inser-
ton, or with edge and two widths of Insertion
There also Valencienne laces MANY new PATTERNS

MANY ARE INJURED AND
MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY
HURRICANE AT TOLEDO

TOLEDO, Ohio, April Hundreds
of men are out of work, thousands OF
dollars damage done and many per-
sons slightly injured are the results
of hurricane that visited Toledo and
vicinity today.
The wind attained velocity OF six
ty-nine miles an hour in this city. The
roof of the plant of the Massilon
Bridge company. 1S0 by 440 feet, was
ripped off and hurled into field and
300 men were thrown out of employ
ment until the damage can be repaired.
Pedestrians We're injured by falling
signs, parts of roofs, chimneys and
limbs of trees. Many women were
bowled over by the wind.
In small towns near Toledo consid-
erable damage was done. Many houses
were struck by lightning and the oc-
cupantS stunned, but there are no re-
ports of fatalities.
The storm which prevailed in north
ern Ohio practically isolated Cleveland
from communication with the east. The
gale created havoc in all directions.
Telegraph and telephone wires were re-
ported down throughout the state.
Navigation on the lake was made
hazardous by the high seas The barge
Norman Kelley is reported to be adrift
off Kelleys island, with four men and
a woman aboard. They have no pro-
visions and are in imminent danger OF
being wrecked.

NINE. MODJESKA MAY
PASS AWAY IN SLEEP
Strength Is Slowly Ebbing Away and
: Attendant Physicians Think Pa
tient Will Not Recover
Consciousness

Nine. Modjeska remains in an un-
conscious condition, as she has been
for the past four days, at her home on
Bay island. The only change noted yes
terday was that she seemed d little
weaker.
Drs. j. p. Boyd of Santa Ana and w.
A. Edwards and J. H. Bullard of Los
Angeles, who are attending the great
tragedienne, do not expect that she will
regain consciousness. They expect that
she will sleep her life away.
The patients strength, as shown by
the number OF times she has rallied, has
been a marvel to those in attendance
but this seems to be ebbing slowly
away, and 1t is not thought that she
can survive another forty-eight hours.
Telephone messages of inquiry were
not accepted yesterday. as they have
become so numerous that the answer
ing them is an almost impossible tax.

[By Associated Press.

NHICAGO, April 7.-Wires east OF
Chicago as far as Pittsburg went
~ down rapidly in today's gale, ac-
cording to the telegraph companies.
Wheeling, ". Va, reported every wire
down east of that point. OF the numer-
Gus leased wires running east of Chi
cago, but one was working this after
noon, and conditions are said to be
growing worse.
In this city several persons received
minor injuries from topping fences
and signboards. Scores of plate glass
windows were broken. BY far the most
freakish whim of the storm was to give
a perilous ride to Samuel Holland, an
elevated railroad conductor.
Holland was seated on the runway
of d boxcar on the Metropolitan ele-
waited, when the roof was lifted by the
gale. 1t maintained a horizontal po-
sition and Holland went whirling
away.
He fell over hundred feet from the
starting place, none the worse for his
experiences.
The roof settled to the ground with
comparative steadiness, considering it's
weight.
Friends among the train crew insist
ed that the conductor must be intern
ally injured and took him to a doctor,
but the physician confirmed the state
ment of Holland that he was not hurt.
