Miss Edwards's home is at Napa,

training Margaret to the end that she

He said yesterday:
The strength and endurance of this
young girl are simply wonderful. She
mas been reared out of doors and
spends a good part of her time riding
horseback. She grooms her horse and

She has helped to drill a large class Of

Mrs. J. Borden Hartman

Mrs. Hartman wore the other day a
short black and white checked plated
skirt of serge. This is black and white
season in Paris, and modish New York
women are not slow in following the
fashion. There is nothing more becoming
to women of all ages than this combina-
ton.
White roses was worn with this Gains
borough type, with trimming of black
satin ribbon and small white roses were
worn with the chic costume.
The effect was very youthful, as the
skirt was short and the coat not so long
as most coats are this spring.

HEARING On
GARY BLACK
HAND CASE

The trial Of the alleged black hand
case. in which Jarino Larvello shot and
fatally wounded Farivo Adolpo in the
formers saloon, came up for hearing
before Judge Fitzgerald late Saturday
afternoon.
Although Adolpo was not able to ap-
pear at the hearing, his condition is
said to be improving each day and his
physicians consider that he is now out
of danger. Evidence introduced by the
various witnesses in the case was not
strong enough to warrant the holding
of Joseph Ross, so he was released by
Judge Fitzgerald.
LarvelIo, when question as to his
motives for shooting Adolpo. told the
police that the latter had threatened
him and his wife unless a sum of mon
ey was not forthcoming. To substanti-
ate his words Larvello produced a note
written in Italian and purporting to
come from Adolpo. The note was sign
ed with Adolpo's name and contained
besides the threats, demand for SIS,
and gave him five days in which to pay
1t In.
Judge Fitzgerald will fix Larvello's
bond today.

DOORS Of
BISMARK
CLOSED
I. j. Burch, Proprietor, Dis
covers Too Many Eating
Places on Broadway IN
Order to Compete Success
fully.

The Bismark, which has been one
of the leading restaurants of the city.
Saturday closed its doors to the pub
there was too much competition in the
city and decided to close the restau-
rant voluntarily. The closing of this
place reduces the number of frst-class
eating places on Broadway to seven
and these, it is expected, will be am
ply able to take care of the trade of
the city.
A member of Gary law firm said
yesterday that another one of the res
taurants on Broadway would probably
be closed up today for debt The ac-
ton against them was to have taken
place Saturday. but the firm allowed
them a few days longer in order to
make good. if possible.
If this place and the Bismark were
left in the city and still there would
be a superiority of these places of
business
Manager Burch of the Bismark was
one of the oldest restaurant men in the
business. He has owned places in La
porte and Chicago, which were well
known in those cities. In Gary how
ever, he found that 1t was a losing
proposition. because of the number
which were continually locating in this
city This restaurant was formerly
known as the Colonial whose proprie-
tor failed and later skipped the city
