The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1910-12-18

Here is a case Of pure love Of her
kind. Mrs. Alma Webster Powell
makes an appeal to women to cast off
the shackles of the hobble skirt and all
absurdities of la mode and adopt the
costume of, common sense which she
has designed for them. 1t is called d
comfort costume and is made on prin-
cess lines that reach to the ankles and
worn without corsets and with bloom
ers. To add style, without which no
dress was ever a success, the material
is handsome black velvet trimmed with
hand embroidery of jet. For street
wear boots and military cape are
added Of black satin. In the house the
frock is buttoned down to the feet.
The little hat pretty Mrs. Powell
wears with the costume is made like
the cap worn by officers in the Aus
trian army and can be fashioned by
any woman for the modest sum Of 81.
Every part Of this attire from cap
to twelve dollar boots is attractive,
sane and simple in effect Mrs Pow
ell in advocating this reform costume
is entirely unselfish in her aim, for in
doing so she gives up a wealth of
Paris hats and gowns
This costume if adopted by woman
kind will stamp out much sartorial
envy, hatred, malice and all unchari-
tableness, as all costumes are made on
the same style. It will remove class
distinction, and the only bone of con-
tention will be in the quality of the
material used; otherwise Mrs. Rhine
stone, will be on an equal footing, so
far as appearances are concerned, with
Mrs. Diamond.
Mrs. Powell in her comparatively
short life has played many parts. She
Is singer Of note; she is a suffra-
gette and a law student-in fact, she
Is interested in everything that tends
to public good, and her brain is very
active piece Of machinery.
The inventor has adopted the dress
herself, and she could wear so many
smart gowns II she had the welfare Of
women less at heart

his head resting within two inches
of the wheels. Mrs. Rowland rushed
out, expecting to find him killed, but
when she arrived he began to regain
consciousness, and, in his dazed con-
dition, scrambled to his hands and
knees and would have crawled un-
der the rapidly moving train and to
certain death, but she grabbed him by
the coat tails and held him firmly un-
til the train had passed by, and then
pulled him away from the track and
out of danger.
She then called for the police to
come and take care of him, as he was
badly cut and bruised about the
head WHARF, struck by the car, and
was wandering about in a semi-con-
scious condition when she last saw
him. Mrs. Rowland committed

neighbors who saw the affair.

fourths of the town of Dera Ghazi
Khan, with a population of 10000, is
under water today. Two hundred
persons are reported drowned, and
the damage to property is enormous.
The river Indus has broken from
its banks and inhabitants of the sur
rounding country are fleeing to the
uplands. Those near the banks had
practically no warning, and many
were drowned almost before they
could get out cf their houses.
Already thousands are homeless.
The death list is expected to be great

heard from.
The towns of Mainwali, Taunsa

ies of the Indus. are swollen to
twice their usual size, and are eX-
pected to overflow at any moment.

MRS. |. S. ROWLAND SAVES
LIFE OF A CRIPPLED TRAMP

But for the pluck an presence of

sides on Waller street, in Yew Park,
of this city, another tragedy would
have been added to the list of rail-
road fatalities that hHve happened
within and in close proximity of this
city the past two weeks, when she
pulled an intoxicated and dazed
tramp from under the very wheels of
a passing freight train south of the
Southern Pacific passenger depot
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
and saved his life.
Mrs. Rowland had noticed the
stranger roaming around the neigh
borhood during the afternoon, and
was watching him when he went out
to try to catch a passing freight, he
being a onhNarmed man under the
influence of liquor, and watched him
the closer. He made a grab at the
ladder upon a boXcar, missed his
hold, and was struck on the side of
the head and knocked senselpss by

trated upon an innocent public and
the next time that anything of that
kind is attempted in this city, the
originators or promoters of the
game will doubtless be given a wide
berth. Some of the races were
pulled off as scheduled but they
were all tame affairs and were a de-
cided disappointment to the 1000 or
more people who gathered at the
course with the expectation of see
ing some good races and some COM
petition in the different events
scheduled to take place.
After paying their so cents per
for admittance to the grounds and
an additional fee for the grandstand,
the crowd was kept waiting for a
seemingly interminable period for
the races to come off and when
something did happen, the people
did not know what was going on
for there was no announcer, scorer
or timekeeper and it was a sort Of
catch-as-catch-can affair from start
to finish, until the crowd became
weary of the delay and utter failure
of the whole affair and left in dis
gust, heaping imprecations upon the
heads of those responsible for the
fake and vowing vengeance if the
opportunity ever offered.
Long before the program was fin
ished the chief promoter of the
scheme, w. H. Brown, representing
the Inter-Mountain Motor Racing
association, disappeared and could
not be found anywhere and the bai-
ance of the program was carried out
in a hap-hazard manner, without
head or management.
The 5O-mile event was won by
Hollenback's Croxton-Cleeton racer,
which was driven the distance BY
Driver Sprague, in 1:04:33, and
second place was won by Chas. v.
Browns 3O-horse touring car, Mar
mon, of Astoria, which, with Driver
Martin at the wheel, made the dis
tance in 1:14. Honeyman's Cole-30
dropped out of the race without
completing the first lap, and the big

and Deputy Charles McNary is
searching the statutes for a law un-

which will cover the case, is section
1913 of the code which provides that
any person found guilty of gross
fraud or cheat against the public un-
der common law is punishable by
imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary for a term of from one to three
years. Since the races were pulled
off, in a slipshod and devil-may-care
manner, principally by the innocent
entries in the different events, it
will be difficult to prosecute upon
this score but the queen contest,
