Irish lace roses have been used
Y for the design upon today's
page. Let me tell you how.
Allowance is made for the applique
Of crocheted rose in each of the four
uneven circular spaces on the front de-
sign, one on the collar and one on
each cun. These spaces represent the
cut-out Of linen that will give trans
parency after the rose has been sewn
over each allotted space; the edges
should be rolled after being trimmed
evenly.
I have told you first OF the applique.
but 1 would suggest your doing II after
the other work has been done. The vio-
lets are TO be padded and worked solid;
the leaves may be worked the same
way, OF in skeleton long-and-short
Etitch with solid vein in the center;
or again, they may be done solid on
the one half with seed stitch on the
other. The conventionalized stems are
planned for over-and-over work or for
two rows OF very careful outlining. II
Is possible that you will prefer TO put
but little work on the blouse. and If so
the whole may be done by the outline
process with the Irish roses or their
substitute-a crocheted medallion Of fine
thread.
Almost all art needlework depart
of Tvia
Tenerife wheels which. also, will serve
the purpose.
The blouse for which the design Is
planned is that most acceptable model
with two Gibson pleats-a long and
short-folded over each shoulder so that
they appear on the back as well as the
front The stock collar is very slightly
curved, and the motif here given for the
cuff embroidery may be used on deep
or shallow cuff. -
Heavy white linen is an excellent fab
ric on which TO put the work for the
blouse in question; handkerchief or
lightweight linen will not prove too sheer
for this dainty floral pattern, while
union linen. which is an excellent quail
ity-part linen and part cotton-will
prove most durable and altogether salts

Saratoga, Sept 26.-It is admitted
today that the "old guard" Of the
New York republican party is defeat
ed. Plans are being made for a con-
ference with Roosevelt when a COM
promise will be asked. Roosevelt will
reach Saratoga this afternoon and Lou
Payne, one of the old guard leaders
will be the first to greet the former
president. He will ask Roosevelt not
to oust Sherman as temporary chair
man as 1t might cause split among
the voters. 1t is probable Roosevelt
will not comply with the request.
Sherman, 1t Is understood. will stand
pat and If the colonel forces the
craftsmanship issue, will await a test
vote when the convention convenes
tomorrow.
Both factions are holding meetings

BUFFALO VERNON IS
HERE FOR ROUNDUP
FAMOUS "BULL-DOGGER" WILL
BE FEATURE OF THE SHOW
Vaults From Horse to Back of Steer,
Bears Him Down and Holds Him
With His Teeth-Did Trick Before
Roosevelt With Broken Wrist.

Buffalo Vernon, champion of the
world at the art of "bulldogging"
steers, is in the city today and is here
to take part in the Roundup. He is
ito give exhibitions during the Round
up and for the same will be paid by
the management, no contests having
been arranged for this event. Need
less to say the coming of Buffalo
Vernon has been awaited with inter-
est and his appearance here today has
been hailed with delight by those
who are turning their energies to-
wards making the Roundup a sue
cess
To bulldog" a steer is not an easy
job at any time and II is especially
difficult when the steer is somewhat
wild as are the steers with which
Vernon generally deais, In bull
dogging' steer the rider vaults from
his horse and lands astride the steers
neck. Catching the animal by the
horns he bears it down by the
weight of his body on the neck. While
the steer is down he then grips the
lip of the animal by his teeth and
holds him in that manner, with his
arms and hands entirely free. 1t is
something of a stunt.
Buffalo Vernon who will do the
"bulldogging" at the Roundup is a
stout and blocky buckaroo and has a
world wide reputation. He was at the
frontier show at Cheyenne while
Colonel Roosevelt was there. In
speaking of the work done by some
of the intrepid men who were at
Cheyenne, the eX-president said:
Then there was Buffalo Vernon.
l noticed that when he went out to
bulldog the steer he wore a leather
bandage around his wrist. I asked
him why he wore it and he said he
had broken his wrist the day before.
Now. it is a pretty hard job for a
man with every bone sound 10 bull
dog a steer Buffalo Vernon did it
with broken wrist"
The champion "bulldogger' reach
ed here this morning from Laramie,
Wyoming. After the frontier show at
Cheyenne he went to the Fiesta of
the Dawn of Gold at Sacramento. AZ
ter that he performed at Reno, Og-
den and Salt Lake, winding up at
Larimie.

declared to be the most erratic. In
some precincts the assembly and an

while in others no attention seems to
have been paid to this issue. On the
state ticket the anti-assembly feel

on the county ticket as with the ex-

San Francisco, Sept. 26-After two
days and nights of silence, Marie
Messerschmidt, the nurse held in de-
tentinue since last Friday night in
connection with the death of Eva
Swan, the girl whose body was found
beneath the cement flooring of the
basement of a deserted house here,
confessed to the police yesterday that
she had knowledge of the operation
performed upon Miss Swan by DR..
James Grant and that she had attend
ed the girl after the operation. DR..
Grant was taken into custody with
the nurse and late today Paul Barker,
former Stanford athlete, who had
lived in the house where Miss Swan
roomed, was arrested.
The confession states that Robert
Thompson, known as DR.. Grant"
packed the girls body in trunk,
first cutting off the legs at the an
kles; that Grant discussed the burial
OF the body with her and spent two
nights at the house where it was
found.
The nurse was induced to tell the
story by her brother-in-law. August
Borman of Oakland, who visited her
at the city prison this afternoon.
When she refused to confess, he
showed her a picture of her dead
mother, pleading with her to tell the
police everything, impressing upon
her that this would be her mothers s
wish. The young woman tainted and
upon her recovery became hysterical.
When she was quieted she agreed to
tell the entire story to Detectives
Wren, Burke, and Richards.
Following the confession, DR.. Grant
was led from his cell and brought in
to the. desk sergeant's office where
Miss Messerschmidt was seated. At
sight of his nurse, DR.. Grant broke
from the jailers and ran along the
prison corridors. He was chased by
policemen and forcibly returned to
the office. He staggered and almost
sank to the floor when he learned
of the nurses collapse.
In her story Miss Messerschmidt
told that Paul P. Parker, the young
man who had known Miss Swan for
eight years. had visited the hospital
on three occasions to see the dying
girl. after the operation. The police
Immediately took Parker into custody
He admitted the visits to the hospit-
al to see Miss Swan, but strongly de-
MED any responsibility in the affair
Later he gave the police a detailed
account of his connection with the
case.
Miss Messerschmidt said that she
was not present at the operation. The
operation, she said was performed or

night while alone. She was found
