SWEET GIRL GRADUATES
 LOOK THEIR PRETTIEST
 IN PLAIN DOLLAR GOWNS
Special from United Press. )

New York, June Questionable tmodistes who last night attended the graduating exercises at the Washing Eton Irving High School hope that the innovation of the sweet girl graduates will not spread. The 243 girls who received their diplomas were attired in handsome gowns which cost them from 72 cents to $1.n each, the aver ace cost of the graduating dresses be- ing s1. Not soul in the audience which filled the auditorium would lave known that the girls had set the new standard of economy for. their dresses were as pretty and as fluffy and bewitching as the $40 and $50 dresses of other graduating classes.
 The idea of the s1 gown originated with Miss Muriel Willard, of the dress tmaking department, and the giris hearti1y concurred in the scheme. The dresses were made of lawn and mus 1in, purchased for "almost nothing at Ibargain sales. and made by the girls themselves.
 ! Miss Neva Pratt achieved triumph for only 72 cents. Miss Isabella Schwartz was more extravagant. She spent 95 cents on her gown. Miss tBertha Mersummer spent $1.10 and Miss Hilda Holland actually threw money away. She expended $1.1 on a tunic gown.

BOATS CRASH
 IN HELL GATE
The Yale and the Middletown Jam Each Other in the
 Swift Current

Several hundred passengers aboard the Boston line steamship Yale and the Hartford line steamer Middletown had an exciting time last evening as the two boats damned into each other sidewise while racing through Hell Gate against strong ebb tide on their way to the Sound
 From the shore passengers aboard the Yale were seen at dinner in the dining room in the afterpart of the boat Dinner was also being served aboard the Middletown. Scores of passengers crowded the decks of both boats.
 The two boats got into the Hell Gate channel together. The Middle town was slightly in the lead, but she was overhauled by her rival. On one side they had the jagged rocks other dividing the channel with them, were the big Government dredges which are blasting out the reef on Flood Rock and have been the cause of several mishaps in the channel. Sharing the narrow channel, the two big boats went racing along, the swift current drawing them closer together | The Middletown was hugging the Astoria shore and the Yale was trying to keep in midstream. Almost abreast they raced, when, as they were just about rounding Hallet's Point, the M1ddletown was suddenly driven dan- gerously close to the jagged rocks along the shore. She immediately veered out to deeper water, and at the same time the Yale was carried inshore by the current Then came a crash and sound of tearing and grind ing of wood. Panic-stricken diners rushed on deck, but it was all over in a minute.
 The two boats sped on close togeth- CT until the dangerous bend was clear ed. Then they strengthened out for the Sound and made an inspection of the damage. AS far as could be seen from the shore, the woodwork on the starboard afterpart of the Yale was smashed, while the Middletown, catch ing the blow amidships, had her wood work damaged for several feet. The trouble was we'll above the water line and both continued their trips.

STUDENT HANGED
 IN CAIRO TODAY
Nationalist Whose Assassination of Premier Called Fer Scathing
 DenunciatiOn From ROOSe- yeif
Especial from United Press.)


 Cairo, June 2S-Ibraham Wardanf. a Nationalist student whose assassina- tion early in the year of Premier Bour- tros Pasha called for scathing de- Eanctation at the hands of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt when the latter spoke before the students of the Uni- versity of Egypt. was hanged here for his crime.
 The execution occasiened intense ex- citement owing to the fear of a dem onstration by the Nationalists. The government. however, made ample pro- vision against this and there has not yet been the least disorder, although the Nationalists are holding meetings throughout the city.
 Wardani ascended the scaffold pro- claiming himself a martyr. a role he had assumed since the crime. 'I, die for the cause of Egyptian liberty were his last words.
 The hanging was secret, even news paper men being excluded from the prison yard. where the scaffold was erected. The prison was entirely sur rounded by troops while hundreds of troops patrolled the streets and min gled with the crowds on the streets. No large gatherings were permitted.
 Wardani shot Premier Boutros Fasha as the latter was entering his carriage. He has, since the murder, proclaimed that he killed the premier to bring the attention of the gov ernment to the alleged wrongs of the Egyptians.
 In nfs address to the students in the Egyptian University on March 28, Colonel Roosevelt set Egypt by the ears by denouncing the crime. In part he said:
 All good men, all men of every nation whose respect is worth having, were inexpressably shocked by the assassination of Boutros Pasha. It was a greater calamity to Egypt than a wrong to the Sultan himself. The type of man that turns assassin is the type possessing all the qualities which alienate him from good citi- xenshfp; the type producing poor soldiers in time of war and worse citizens in time of peace. Those apologizing for, or condemning, his act, by word or deed, directly or in- directly encouraging such an act, in advance or defending 1t afterward oc- cupy the same bad eninence. It is of no consequence whether the as- sassin is Moslem or Caucasian. The rich mans hired act, performed by a poor man, whether committed with the pretense of obtaining money or liberty, is abhorent and in the long run equally damaging to every cause the assassin professes."
 In London in his Guildhal1 speech Roosevelt called upon England to adopt a hrmer policy in ruling the Egyptians or else get out of Egypt and turn the nation over to some country which would.
