not be sold without the consent of the surviving trustees, whose terms held until June 15 next, and who might have continued the agreement for another five years if they saw fit. Both of them are very busy men and as they have served the society without pay 1t has long been taken for granted that they would be willing to pass on their responsibilities to other shoulders, 1T they found they could do so without prejudice to- the policyholders. Prior to confirmation of the transfer neither MT. Westinghouse nor MT. O'Brien would discuss either its details or it's probabilities.
 MT. Ryan's holdings in the Equitable were bought in large part from James H. Hyde, although Edward H. Harri- : man had laid plans which he supposed were to assure him the control which went instead to MT. Ryan. It was during the hearings of the Armstrong insurance investigation that MT. Harri- man, when questioned on this point. coined what subsequently, became a national byword. He was asked if he had settled scores with MT. Ryan, and answered tersely Not yet" and the public added with ready intuition ''but soon."
 At the offices of the Equitable so- ciety President Paul Morton professed ignorance of the transfer and news of the change of control seemed to come as surprise to other officers. It is known, however, that the direc- tors of the society and that the princi- pals to the deal were in conference yesterday and until late today and there is authority for the statement that the transfer met with their ap- proval.

Vale Students Must Not Be Absent.

To check the persistent evil of sun day absenteeism in Yale college, the college faculty has adopted unanimous ly the plan submitted by the new un- dergraduate senior counsel. Hereafter outside Sunday church papers will not be allowed, and Sunday absences away from the city will be granted only rarely and for exceptional reasons. Parents of students, if they persist in asking that their sons be allowed Sun day absences, will have to face the contingency of the students dismissal. The senior council has asked the fac ulty that the new rule be rigidly en- forced. The evil of Sunday absentee ism has been particularly marked in the case of students living in New York city.

NEW HAVEN MAN
Invited to Test New York Machine for
 Weighing Sugar.

A representative of the Standard Weighing Machine company has just visited New Haven to ask Edward J. Maroney, the local sealer of weights and measures, to attend the test of the new device just produced by his firm for the weighing of sugar. It is an electrical contrivance and will in all probability replace the present method of weighing sugar, which of late has caused so much talk owing to the ex- posures that have been made in the system as practiced by the customs in- spectors in New York city.
 According to the Standard man this in such a manner that when once put any length of time. If any attempt to stops working. Should the new ma chine prove to be what it is alleged it will eliminate a number of men em- ployed by the government to weigh the sugar.
 The test of the sugar weigher" will be made the latter part of next month. Attending will be the state sealer of weights of New York, Massachusetts, and of Washington and other places. These men are asked to attend for the purpose of trying if possible to beat the machine The Standard company wants to find out if there is any way by which the new weigher can be under weighed. MT. Maroney is saving a choice assortment of tricks with which he intends to "break" the machine.- New Haven Palladium.

$4o0 IN REWARDS
Must Go Into Police Pension Fund at
 Hartford.

Two long envelopes bearing the seal of the federal government, each con- taining a check for S20o, were received at the police station Monday, being addressed to Detective Sergeant Frank Santoro and Policeman D. B. Ahern, says the Hartford Courant. These two public servants will get no more than a decent look at the checks, for they are in payment of rewards offered by the government, and all rewards re- ceived by members of the local police force must go into the pension fund, but the two men must feel somewhat checks.
 The rewards are for the arrests of James Howard and James F. Blake, following many burglaries in the country postoffices in the state last fall

Coats for Evening Wear

In the wraps of this latter class the
fancy of the designers has been allowed
almost as free play as in the evening
gowns which are unusually elaborate
and picturesque this year.
The inhabitants of San Francisco are
like those of Paris, a gay and pleasure
loving people, and so it is that the sub
5ect of garments for all kinds of even
ing and dress occasions is OF more than
common interest to them: not only to
a limited leisure class, but to those of
moderate means as well.
There are three types of dressy
cloaks that are especially distinct this
season. One is the burnous. hooded
garment which has taken its name from
the Moorish wrap of the men in the
Barbary states and Arabia. Another is
the Dalmatian draped model, which re-
sembles a garment worn by subjects
of the Austrian empire in Dalmatia, and
the third is the Carrick or military
cape. the simplest cloak form of the
season, but one which, when developed
in beautiful material and appropriately
trimmed. is worthy of the popularity
which has been accorded TO it. There
are many variations and notifications
of these three types. and some of the
garments combine the characteristics
The San Francisco call., 1909-11-28

cum. and two or three or a few more
for the front closing
The shawl or tuxedo collar has
proved to be the most popular finish
for coats of all descriptions. and when
1t Is employed the front fastening Is
generally low. either at the waist line
or just above 1t. and often frogs OF
braid are used for the fastenings In
stead of buttons.
The models in these long coats ara
rather straight and semiftting. al
though some are shaped In to 1T as
much as three-quarters-
In fur, the long coats are among the
most fashionable and comfortable of
the seasons garments The furs used
for these are pony skin. caracul and
sealskin, while mink. sable. chinchilla
and ermine are also employed, though
much less frequently. for the purpose.
The same plainness and simplicity
which charactertzes the cloth coats is
noticeable in those OF this material.
Occasionally a collar OF a contrast q
fur is used. and cuffs % a border
around the edge, but more often each
is used alone and uncombined with any
other
Ermine coats are particularly beau
tiful for evening wear, but instead OF
sprinkling the black tails over the fur
promiscuously. according to the cus-
tom in former years, only a few are
now used, and they are very carefully
placed around the border or on certain
parts Of the garments for trimming.

by a pand, half YARD wide, or heavily
raised embroidery in white silk. The
same embroidery simulated a collar
or yoke, which was square in the back.
and 1T was seen again on the full
draped sleeves. The tiniest Of jet nall
heads were scattered very sparingly
through the white embroidery, and all
the edges of the coat were finished
with a piping of black panne velvet,
while jet clasp held the garment
together at the front.
Another outer garment lately seen On
the stage was of the draped Dalmatian
type. made of aeroplane panne velvet
with bands of steel studded silver en-
broidery extending part way down the
front and out over the shoulders and
terminating In silver tassels.
A very beautiful and odd model seen
recently in one OF the shops was de-
veloped in silk cashmere In the dull
soft shade called cendres de rose This
was draped. at the sides in curious
fashion, the fullness being gathered in
q sort of festoon and caught into a
straight band of dull gold galloon,
which edged the bottom of the coat at
the front and back. The full straight
sleeves had deep facings of velvet
matching the coat in color and a draped
facing of the velvet was applied on
each side of the front. The gold
galloon appeared again, fiat around the
neck, pointed at the back and disap-

of ways. The advent of the very soft
materials is in measure responsible
for their presence in the fashions, for
1T is because of their softnesS and
fiexibility that they can be so generally
adopted; they are quite different from
the firm, stiff silk and ribbons sashes
of few years ago. And scarfs are
also used because they belong to the
periods which are furnishing motifs
for the styles of the season-it is not
correct to say that the periods are
being copied" for the ideas which the
designers have taken from the old
fashions have been so worked over and
transformed and recombined. that
sometimes it is hard to recognize their
origin. In very few cases have the
styles been taken In anything like their
complete. original form.
The yellows seem to be a little more
popular than any of the other colors
for the evening cloaks at present: duh
old gold is favorite, especially in
velvet and moire ve1ours; mustard is
also used, and maize, as well as apricot
and champagne. Many of the other
