have the battleship fleet spend about

as much to the Pacific as Atlantic,
and the persistent demands of the
West Coast for adequate naval pro-
lection will be partially satisfied.

White Wash Frocks.
1t has been repeated so often that
all white wash frocks are not In first
fashion, that one is apt to become
tiresome by referring to it. However,
it seems worth while to say that
compromise has been effected be-
tween fashion and tradition by the In
vention of charming gowns of white
voile and marquisette which have all
the earmarks of the best lingerie
frocks and are trimmed with dashing
lines of color to give them a novel
effect
There seems no end to the fashion
for eyelet embroidery, and 1t is used
more on voile and marquisette than
on muslin, possibly because one sees
more of the former fabrics than OF
the latter Plain white wash material
is not even used for everyday frocks.
1t has given way to striped muslins
in violet and white. brown and ecru,
black and white, blue and white.
There are many other combinations,
both in stripes, in pin dots and in
circles, and one sees a dozen OF these

'CAMoRRISTS IN FRENZY.
Leap at Bars of Prisoners Cage
Like Wild Animals.

Viterbo, Italy,-After Captain Fa-
broni, of the Carabiniers, of Naples,
had denounced the Camorra as the
most despicable and dangerous Grim
inal association in the world, there
ensued a scene in the courtroom here
that made past disturbances in the
Camorra trial tame in comparison.
Erricone, chief among the prisoners
to feel the sting of Fabroni's fearless
testimony, leaped to his feet and dash
ed to the bars Of the prisoners cage,
shrieking incoherently, and a personal
encounter between the GARDINER and
Lawyer Bovio, for the defense, was
prevented only by the interference of
the court attaches.

Washington, July 13.-Two insur-
gent speeches against the Canadian
reciprocity bill were made today when
Senators La Toilette, of Wisconsin,
and Bristow, of Kansas, introduced
their amendments to that measure and
spoke in favor of them and against
specific features of the pending bill.
Senator La Toilette excoriated Pres
ident Taft's administration, not only
with reference to tariff legislation
proposed, but also on his conservation
policies. Senator Bristow renewed
his fight aginst the present sugar
tariff and urged the repeal of the "16
Dutch standard test on imported
sugar, saying it operated entirely in
the interests of the American Sugar
Refining company.
Hoping to reach vote on the reci-
procity bill next week, senate leaders
are figuring seriously on the subse
quent programme
Besides the Democratic free list and
wooden bills, it became evident today
that friends of the Arizona New Mex
leo statehood and reapportionment
bills will demand votes, as will advo-
Gates of the campaign publicity bill.
La Toilette expects to occupy most
of the session Monday and Tuesday
in his speech against reciprocity. In
his speech today he called the reci-
procity agreement "a little brother to
the Payne-Aldrich bill. "
Continuing his criticism of Taft's
administration, La Toilette said:
"In all the record of this admins
tration, no more glaring example is
presented of the complete surrender
to special interests and the complete
reversal of Roosevelt's progressive
policies than that shown in dealing
with amendments to the interstate
commerce act. 1t would have been
difficult to have framed piece of leg
islation affecting Interstate commerce
more harmful to the public interest
than the bill drafted by the attorney
general and recommended to congress
by President Taft.

THREE MICHIGAN TOWNS BURN
Boats and Freight Trains Carry In
habitants to Safety.


Bay City, Mich. -Oscada, 76 miles
north of Bay City, has been COM
pletely wiped out by fire; Au Sable,
across the river, is now on fire, and
the 1900 inhabitants are being taken
on board a steamer that arrived at Au
Sable and on train made up of
freight cars picked up in the Au Sable
and Oscada freight yards, while an
other train is being sent from East
Tawas to take away refugees.
A lineman succeeded in getting
around the fire and tapped the wires
four miles south of the town. He said
there had been no loss of life.
The fire at Cheboygan caught from
pile of sawdust which had been
burning for weeks. 1t is not known
whether there is danger to the city.
Lewiston, Alger and Turner, all north
of here, are in danger from forest
fires.
The Alpena and Oscada fires were
not due to forest fires, but from fires
originating in slab yards.
Forty cars and two bridges on the
Michigan Central near Grayling were
burned.
A disastrous fire broke out at AL
pena in the logs on the bank of Thun-
der Bay river, just west of the
Moanch tannery. A fierce west wind
spread the flames to the bark piles of
C. Moanch & Sons company.
