or kings in this country.
Forty roe shad, of an average weight of
eight pounds, were captured" by Charles
Jones, of Middletown, on the order of
DR.. ]. G. Sharpe. Mr.. Jones went in a
motor boat for a canvass of the fishermen,
then "boating" their nets in midstresm
in Delaware river and bay.
The dinner began at 6. 80 o'clock at the
Hotel Richardson, and lasted until $50.
The menu was all that could have been
desired, and the Philadelphians we're high
IN their praise of the good things. At its
conclusion, the president of the society,
DR.. G. Burton Moore, acted as POSTMASTER,
and introduced George M. Jones, as one

NEW YORK FASHIONS

NEW YoRK, May I'd. Some of the
prsttiest froeks seen lately have been in
notable trousseaux where good taste dom
mated the lavish expenditure, for whether
the outfit is simple or elaborate unless
good taste and appropriateness rules the
selection, the result is sure to be a failure.
The study Of Personality
Women who dress very we'll always
understand their personal needs. They
know what not to wear, and thus elimi-
nate most of the trouble of selection.
Usually simple frocks are most becoming
aud it is safer to err on the side of SIM
plicity than in the other direction.
Peasant Types
What are known as Peasant" frocks,
which are simply the old time skirts of
soft materials fulled into the waist, with
waists to match usually having the new
close fitting sleeve, cut in one with the
blouse, are pretty, easy to make and be-
coming to almost everyone. These are
draped over fitted Innings so that the
silhouette still remains slender as when
the skirt is cut plain over the hips. The
skirts tied in below the knee are increas.

Girlish frocks of serge made in the

blindfolds his eyes and leaps across the
entire width of the arena, turns double
aomersault on the way and catches the
wrists OF comrade WHO hangs head
down from flying swing. The Abreu
family of Mexican eymnasts introduce
great novelty act. Berzac's horses pre-.
sent an amusing play, the scene of which
is laid in country inn. One horse plays
landlord and another is the town con-

amusing boarders. Paula Peters monkey

ed silk go admirably. Foulard dresses,
ade simply, often with no other trim
ming than their own borders, are worn
with rather wide belts of black patent
leather, while patent leather shoes, and
bags go uncommonly we'll with these.
Fashionable EmbrOideries
Embroideries of all sorts were never
more fashionable than now, and every
girl who ia collecting her store of linen
for the wedding outfit, as well as other
women who like the daiutiness of nice
markings should know of the Refs "Stitch.
on" and Foundation letters that
make such embroideries an easy matter
even for the least skilled needlewomau.
The "Stitchon" letters and Monograms
can be had at any embroidery counter
that is up-todate, and are simply stitched
on to the article as their name implies.
The "Fou ndation" letters save all the
trouble of stufing, and insure success in

chiefs or any other desired article. They
keep their shape in laundering, make the
work easy, and can be used singly or
combined in names or monograms.
New Trimmings
Nothing is better, or less expensive.
for bringing last years gowns or tailored
suits up-to-date than to trim them with
foulard, in polka spots, or some other
attractive design. Collar facings, coat
Innings, belts, bands and other trimmings
are made OF these silks and it is q happy
coneeit to have g parasol covered to
match. Natural colored shantungs are
especially pretty with foulatd trimmings
| in blue, or red or green. Overlapping
buttons are the last trimming kink noted
Fashionable Gloves and shoes
i Wingtlpped shoes both in low and high
| cuts are very much worn and many very
| fancy styles are shown at the shops, but
the majority of well dressed women,
stick to black or tan footwear for street
purposes. Slippers with black foxings
1 with heels in color to correspond with
the dress or its trimmings are liked, and
on white or black slippers many OF the
heels have lacy metal ornaments in silver,
steel or gilt. Fancy uppers in striped or
blocked serge are seen on boots with
smoked pearl buttons. Wide heavy
stitchings- are used on street gloves.

Counsel for Banker to Apply for
Writ.

NEW YORK, January 22.Martn w.
Lttleton, counsel for Charles w. Morse,
the convicted banker. said today that
within thirty days he would apply to the
federal courts In Atlanta, Ga, for a writ
Of habeas corpus on behalf of Morse. The
writ. the lawyer says, will enable him to
present to the court the following ques-
tons:
First. AS to whether the court that
tried Morse, composed of the judge and
eleven jurors, was a constitutional court
within the meaning Of the Constitution, it
being conceded that one of the jurors
was demented at the time of the trial.
Second. AS to whether the defendant
was afforded trial by an impartial jury.
as provided by the Constitution, which
jury was overshadowed and surrounded
by the private paid detectives of the
prosecution.
Third. AS to whether or not a SEN
tence which is five years in excess of the
statutory term is a void sentence. upon
which the defendant can be confined.
Fourth. 1t has been brought to my at
tention by rumors and unsubstantlal in
formation from time to time that the
method by which the Indictment was pro-
cured included service before the grand
Jury of a professional official desig-
mated by the federal government. whose
business 1t was to conduct the examina-
ton into the technical details of the bank

was taken to the federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kan, few days ago to
serve a five-year term in connection with
the failure of the Chicago National Bank,
may he liberated before many months
was entertained by his friends and at
torneys tonight as a result of the deci-
sion in the Henze case.
John S. Miller chief counsel for Mr..
Walsh, declined to state definitely what
action would be taken based on the as
sertion that an unauthorized person was
present In the grand jury room when
Walsh was indicted. but he said that
Judge Hough's decision and it's possible
application to the Walsh case would be
considered.
District Attorney Sims said it was not
possible for Walsh to benefit by such ac-
ton. THE time for such move has
passed" he said, "a motion to quash the
indictment should have been made before
the trial and not after the man is in
prison. In the second place. there was
no unauthorized person in the jury room. -
w. r. Dickinson, receiver in charge of
the property of the Chicago Chronicle
Company, formerly owned by Walsh, said
tonight he would begin next week the cir
culation of petition asking President
Taft to pardon the convicted banker
