ORIGIN OF COLLAR
IN LAST CENTURY

The song Of the shirt has been sung
on every hand. but the story OF the
collar remains untold. Aside from an
occasional paragraph in books dealinG
with manufacturing. but little has
been printed concerning the eventful
history OF this very necessary piece of
wearing apparel
The wife OF Troy, y. Y, blacksmith
and a Methodist preacher are somewhat
vaguely connected with the invention
Of the detached collar. The date of
this important event. however, has not
been fixed definitely, but it seems to be
pretty well established that the date
upon which the first detached collar
was made and worn could not have
been earlier than the latter part Of the
first half OF the nineteenth century.
The cuff was considerably later in
making its appearance, and wears after
the collar had been adopted. well
dressed gentlemen wore lace st the
wrists. Like the collar. the Gun was
merely an extension OF the shirt. and
Il was sometimes turned up out of the

TRACKS TO OPERATE.
SAYS PHIL DWYER

NEW YORK, May 27.-RacinE men
are divided today regarding the erect
Of the two measures passed by the
Legislature designed by the reform
element TO close the race tracks in
this State.
One set declares Jhc new laws vr!!l
compel the tracks TO close. They base
this argument on the fact that the bill
making directors responsible for
gambling within track Enclosure is
seemingly drastic in character.
Under its pror!s' cns, its author and
his friends say, officials Of the race
tracks must absolutely prevent book
making or be guilty of violating the
law. The bill will take effect as soon
as signed by Governor Hughes.
Phil Dryer Differs.
The veteran Phil Dwyer. president
of the Rrool1lyn Jockey Club. does not
take this view. He declares that the
race track owners and the Jockey
Club always opposed gambling; that
they have compelled all who attend
the races to observe the laws, and
that, inasmuch as the court Of sp-
peals has indicated Just what consti-
tUted gambling under the constitu-
ton, the new laws will not change lh5
situation. The Gravesend meeting.
which opens next Tueday, will be ruI
of as usual. he says.
Dwyer declared that inasmuch as IL
would be necessary - secure q con-
viction of boOkmak.ng before the d.
rectors can be proceeded against, and
that oral betting is permissible until
the Agnew law goes into effect, Sep
TENDER l, there IS 20 need Of racegoers
worrying. BY that time, he intimated.
the attorneys fer the Jockey Club
may be able to show that there are
defects in the new racing laws.
Attorneys at Work.
1t is understood that the attorneys
who have examined the antf-racfnE
laws enacted since Governor Hughes
was elected have found flaws in them
that they consider material. They
have refrainea from raising these
points in court willie Hughes was
governor be, aus It was declared he
would call an ezra session of the
Legislature TO patea UP the laws
should any portion of them be
knocked out by the courts
As Hughes va retire this fall TO
take his sea. on the Supreme Court
bench, and rs his successor. Lieuten-
ant Governor Y hiIe 8 said to he most
pected actor to test the constitution
ality of the r. cling laws will be started
late in the su,9rseE
The aggregate value Of the race
courses in this state which are af-
fected by the new laws exceeds sci
600, eco. Only a few OF them are sftlI-
ated so as to be available for building
purposes.

AS FAKE RUMOR is DENIED.
MARKET DULL.

NEW YORK. May 27.-The capabilities
Of the bears on the Stock Exchange in
the manufacturing of rumors is far
above par. Yesterday it was the sus-
pensions of prominent brokerage houses,
TODAY the. serious illness Of J. Pierpont
Morgan, Just at a time when his activ-
tiles in the placing Of large railroad
loans abroad were being used to their
utmost in the interest of this market
and of the railroad map OF the United
States. The Stock Exchange Is great at
handing out puntative doses for in
fractions, but the rumOr mOngers keep
I'D the publicity department without
much fear OF interference or punish
ment-
The latest suspension on the EX-
change, that Of the firm of f. F. Hut
ton & Co. near a million-dollar dose,
was for an Offense for which the Wall
Street Journal declares two-thirds OF
the membership OF the Exchange might
be disciplined-paying for producing
business. This journal also declared
that the punishment would be more ef-
fective If the governors of the Exchange
were representative men.

Mr.. Harper. the Partisan lawyer who
has been in way responsible for part
of the success. says
Il have never seen American rail-
road bonds take such a hold on the
French market as they have In the
past few WeekS-nOJ only are the
banks keen for them. but the French
public wants them. It Is due to two

Non-Effective.
All these things ought to give the
market a great boom-they would under
normal conditions. but conditions just
at this time are not normal. Politics,
public indifference. lack Of concerted at
tack and effort on the part of the In
siders, probable pending the reccnstruc-
tive and uncertain period. all tend to
keep operations 10 a narrow scale.

REPUBLrC RECOGNIZED.

The provisional government OF Por-
tugaI has received a telegram from
President Comtesse, Of Switzerland,
announcing that governments recog-
milton Of the Portuguese republic.
Brazil has also recognized the new
government.
The British Minister, Sir Francis H.
Villiers, yesterday handed the premier
note stating that Great Britain would
recognize the republic as soon as it
was convinced that the revolution was
absolutely ended and affairs in Portu-
gal were in a normal state.
The government has issued decree
granting general amnesty to all mill
tary and naval offenders.
The patriarch Of Lisbon, Monsignor
Tonti, it is announced, has signed his
allegiance to the new regime. Senior
Teixeira Sousa, leader OF the regenera-
dor party, is organizing new party
which will accept republican institu-
tions.
The huge iron safes containing the
treasure OF Quelhss convent, which
reverts 10 the government, have been
placed in the Bank OF Portugal.
Jose Reivas, the new minister OF
finance, in an interview yesterday
said that one OF the first acts OF the
government would be to impose obli-
gatory secular education.
At the same time the republicans
would fully recognize liberty OF con-
science. They did not desire to de-
stroy religious sentiment, but only
would obligate the priests to confne
themselves 10 spiritual matters.

THE STRIKE IN FRANCE.

The strike OF the railroad men,
which threatens to spread throughout
the length and breadth of France, was
denounced yesterday by Premier BRAND
as an insurrection purely, built upon
criminal foundations.
The premier declared that the strike
was called while negotiations we're GO
ing on through himself and the minis
ter of public works for an adjustment
OF grievances, and he promised that
the instigators of the strike would be
criminally prosecuted.
The river Seine, which in January
threatened to destroy Paris. now looms
up in the role OF savior. The govern
ment has made arrangements TO rash
food supplies to Paris from the sea, re-
Questioning all tugs, boats and barges
to meet the crisis brought about by the
stoppage OF the railway service, and
ease the food market, which is already
hard hit. The city is threatened with
famine unless supplies arrive soon.
The call to the colors has been ig-
nored by the large majority, and at
mass meetings held yesterday the
strikers reiterated their determination
not to respond to the call.
Much destruction has been wrought
on the western system, where the strik-
ers and their supporters have held up
and derailed trains, blocked tracks, de-
stroyed signals, ripped up rails and cut
telephone and telegraph wires.
The losses 10 commerce already arc
tremendous. Scores Of trains have
been stalled along the roads, many Of
these carrying food supplies which even
now have become unfit for use.
The highways leading TO Paris are
blocked with humanity. Thousands Of
workmen, trudging toward the city,
conyerged as they reached the city's
gates, where the congestion was fright
ful. The demand for cabs and auto
mobiles could not be met and prices
scared accordingly.
The Southwest Express had narrow
escape from being wrecked on its
arrival at Paris yesterday. The brakes
failed to work and subsequent investi'
CATION showed that the air tubes had
been cut The train dashed into the
Austerlitz station at a speed of 60 miles
an hour. 1t was finally stopped just
before reaching the Dorsant terminus.
The situation throughout the repub-
lie is regarded as grave.
Railway traffic between Cologne,
Germany, and France was at stand
still yesterday. Arrangements have
been made to send the French mails in
to France by way of Jeumont, on the
frontier OF France. Travellers in auto
mobiles arriving at Cologne from
France by way Of Juemont say that
many caravans of motor cars have
reached the Belgian frontier from
French points. They report that the
railway strikers are insulting and pelt
travellers with missiles. Observers OF
the situation express the fear that the
strike movement will assume a revolu-
tionary character.
