OPENING AT KANN'S.
French Opera "Chantecler' Fur
uishes Ideas for Spring Styles.

Not only has the literary, musical and
theatrical world been all agog about the
new French opera by Edmund Rostand
but the world of dress and fashion as
we'll.
Novel ideas for spring styles are no,
only expected, but already are forthcom-
ing, inspired by this unique musical pro-
duction.
S. Kann, Sons & Co.'S opening display
of French millinery and tailored gar
mentS echoes the notes of "Chantecler
in striking hat, similar to that worn
by a well known actress on the streets
of New York a few days ago: also in
the brilliant new reds, which have re
ceived the name, being in the vivid shade
of q cocks comb.
There are, however, other elements that
have had their bearing upon the spring
styles also. The era of romanticism
the present styles of central Europe and
the rich color.-gs of the far east have
lent originality and brilliancy to the fash
ions of the coming season.
In the new one-piece dresses shown
in this firms ready-to-wear department
this influence is particularly noticeable in
the normal waist line and the full pleat-
ed skirt.
An innovation of the usual opening at
fractions, which generally consist of the
unique, rather than the strictly practical
is a most attractive special sale of tail
ored suits, very much under price. that
range in variety from plain tailored suits
to very deliberately braided creations.
In this one offering alone the growing
Importance of American notifications
and style ideas is shown with great
effectiveness as in the recent national
style show at the Arlington Hotel.
That the tailored or fancy separate
waist is dear to the heart of woman
kind, and will never be superseded alto
gether by the one-piece frock, as long
coat suits are worn, was never more
emphatically declared than by the open
ing display in the waist department of
S. Kann, Sons & Co. So many are the
new ideads shown that an attempt to
do them justice would be difficult.
Special offerings that will appeal to
the economical vein in all wOmankind,
and to masculine minds also, are an
nounced for the three days OF the OPEN
ing. A special sale of silk foulards at
about half price, and dress goods, new
trimmings, the latest neckwear. and, in
fact, nearly every department of the
store has been called upon to make sac
rifices that the opening display of this
season may be memorial bic in the history
of this firms store

She dropped the stove and went upstairs

was rescued by some section men who

If Mrs. Troeh had not received assis-

which held both lawful and unlawIu
deposits at the same time, gave ac-
cess to its books and papers. These
also had been despOiled, but enough
had been missed to show plainly the
systematic loaning of public money
for personal profit. Photographs of
entries, checks, etc, showing this are
in my hands.
Some banks refused all informa-
ton, though they were known to
have been partners in the scheme.
AS they were national, there were no
means of getting at the truth with
out legal process. OF one Of these,
The Commercial Bank Of Columbus,
the treasurer of the Republican state
committee, Mr.. w. F. Huffman, was
and is the president. In others still
there were sudden disappearances Of
books and papers when, being state
banks, they were Obliged to give ac-
cess to their files and records relat-
ing to state funds. But at last evi-
dence was secured showing that by
the above and various other devices
the state had for years lost large
amounts of interest which went to
qualify its officials for entry in finan-
cial circles.
One of the methods employed was
this:
Various officers other than the
treasurer collected taxes from corpo-
rations amounting to millions every
year. These were paid by checks,
which were usually, if not always,
deposited in favored banks in which
various state officials had stock, and
months were allowed for cole, ton
of these checks, though they were
promptly presented and paid. During
this period the state lost and others
enjoyed the use of large amounts Of
its money.
The astonishing discovery was then
made that the official bonds covering
both terms of one of the treasurers
involved had been removed from the
files of the secretary of state and
could not be found, but copies were
fortunately obtained
Suits Started In Court.
The evidence of these wrongs was
laid before the attorney general, with
request to bring suits to recover
for the State the profits thus made at
its expense, which he has done. In
spite Of all efforts to delay and con-
Ceal we are confident that large
amounts will be restored to the treas
ury. One former official has already
paid over a large sum to avoid
threatened suit.

accounts has now been installed in
the treasury, and all money collected
