ira fine nainsook with rich and heavy
lace gives very rich and uncommon eff

worn with tailored suits of a rather
severe order.

almost completely died out. One sees
it still in evidence for young girls and
children, but the Parisiennes have re-
turned with pleasure to their ultra
high lace collars, which are as care
fully fitted to the curves of the throat
as are their corsages to the curves of
bust and shoulders.

the present time. They make toques
which are enormously high and quite
narrow, and then they insist that these
toques must be worn right down on the
head, pulled over the hair.

PIB-BATERS AMUSE
APPLE SHOW CROWD
Three Youngsters in Contest
Dive for Pastry.

With an apple pie-eating contest and
other amusing entertainments. merriment
reigned high among the large gathering
at the apple show in new Masonic Tenn
pie last night. Interest centered in the
apple pie-eating contest, which was par
ticipated in by three youngsters-Louis
Rosenblatt, of 923 NJ street northwest;
Samuel Rosenblatt, of the same address,
and William Bowen, of 1141 Fifth street
northwest.
Upon a bench on the platform at the
end Of the exhibition hall were placed
three apple pies. The three boys, with
their hands tied behind them, knelt be-
side the pies, and at a gifen signal made
a dive for the pastry. After long strug-
gle with the slipping pies and sliding pie
plates, Louis arose the winner, his face
besmeared with pie but beaming a broad
grin of satisfaction. He was presented
with a dollar bill. william was the sec
ond boy TO finish his PIE. AS reward
he got a jug OF apple cider.
The ood-sawing contest for women
also attracted attention. Four saw
horses, with pieces of 2 by 4 inch pine about
three feet long upon them, were placed
on the platform beside the four women
contestants. The object was to cut on
three pieces of wood in the least time.
At a given signal the four contestants
started in upon their difficult task. One
saw slipped, one refused to cut, and an
other jumped off the wood and sought to
go out into the audience. Mrs. Donald
c. Thompson, of Florida, was proclaimed
the winner. She was presented with
box OF apples.
In the afternoon. DR.. Harvey A. Wiley,
chief chemist OF the Department OF Agri-
culture. delivered an address on The re-
lation OF the pure food law to fruit grow
ing" Modern methods of spraying"
was the subject of a talk by NJ. B. Waite,

At noon to-day a board of judges, COM
posed of disinterested local dealers, will

of $50 will be awarded the woman enter
ing the best apple pie. The prize pie
will be sent to President Taft at the
White House. Following the awarding
Of the prizes, the best apple from each

and sent to President Taft as a Thanks
giving present
This afternoon E. A Back, VirgiOa

MAY RUN CAR LINE.
Southeast Citizens Determined on
Cross-town Facilities.

Determined to have good street car IA
cilities, even If they have to build a line,
the Southeast Citizens Association last
night appointed a committee, with Henry
c. Emerich as chairman, to consult with
engineers and get an estimate on the
amount Of money needed to build a cross
town line from southwest to southeast.
The citizens associations of southwest
and southeast have been requesting the
Capital Traction Company for several
years to build line connecting its Eighth
street southeast and seventh street
southwest lines. A cross-town line
through NJ street would. the associations
argue, save the residents OF the lower
section along the river front from a walk
OF ten or twelve blocks to get 2 car, as
is now the case.
The plan, as adopted by the Southeast
Citizens Association is to incorporate a
company, the financial backing to be OBJ
talned in Washington.

NJ LEAN RESIGNS
. FROM PRESIDENCY
OF GAS COMPANY
Reform Element Reduced His
Salary to $4,000.
MAY AGAIN SEEK PLACE

John r. Mclean, for many years presi-
dent Of the Washington Gaslight Com
pany, yesterday announced that he had
resigned from that position.
The fact that the announcement was
not unexpected was evident upon the
Washington Stock Exchange, where the
price OF gas stock dropped only a point
and a half. 1t has been rumored for
some time that Mr.. Mclean contem-
plated retiring from active participation
in the management of the company, and
when last week the proposition to reduce
his salary from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
was made, he decided that he would
not remain in his position.
The reduction in salary was in line
with a number of other economies which
have been instituted IN the company.
The reform element, led by Ord Preston
and Joseph Letter, who own 5000 and 1000
shares, respectively, have steadily con-
tended for change of methods. They
do not countenance a large contingent
fund for the employment of counsel to
represent the company before Congress
and for advertising purposes, and pro-
pose that the stockholders and consumers
shall share in whatever benefits are to
be obtained by more economical
methods
There is, of course, considerable gossip
as to Mr.. McLean's successor There
was a rumor yesterday that President
Weaver, of the Georgetown Gaslight
Company, would eventually be at the
head of the Washington organization,
but those who profess to be on the inside
Of the Washington company's manage
ment stated last night that there was
no likelihood of Mr.. Weaver's election.
The board of directors will meet next
week to consider Mr.. McLean's resigna-
tion, but it is probable that Vice Presi-
dent Reeside will fill the position of
president until the annual meeting Of the
stockholders after the first of the year
1t is not at all unlikely that Mr.. Mclean
will then be a candidate, relying upon the
votes Of a majority of the stockholders
TO vindicate his administration and re-
store him to the presidency at his former
salary.
In view of the near approach of the
annual meeting, it is not anticipated
that any radical change will be made in
The management. and that no reduction
10 the price of gas is imminent.

FATHER BRINGS HER HOME.
Pearl Blackman, Who Went to Nor
folk, Returns to Capital.

Pearl Blackman, the pretty eighteen
year-old daughter Of Samuel s. Black
man, Of Al Tenth street northwest, whG
was reported to have mysteriously dis
appeared from her home, was brought to
the city yesterday by her father from
Norfolk, Va, where she was located on
Saturday.
1t was believed at the time of her dis
appearance that Pearl had run away to
go on the stage, as she is a talented
musician and has a charming voice.
This theory was strengthened by the dis
covery that Miss Myrtle Mahoney, a girl
friend, had disappeared at the same time
But last night Pearl said she went to
the steamboat wharf with her girl friend
and while she was bidding Myrtle fare
well the boat pulled out.
Mr.. Blackman went to Norfolk Satur-
day and found both girls stopping with a
friend, Miss Katie Smith. Miss Mahoney
remained in Norfolk.

FLEEING MAN SHOT
IN NECK BY SLEUTH
BulletAccidentallySc
Alleged HOusebreaker.

When Detective Raymond Kleindinst,
of the Fourth precinct, was searching
James Hall, colored, whom he had ar
rested on a charge of housebreaking. the
man suddenly turned and landed several
blows on the sleuths head. Kleindinst
recovered himself just as Hall was going
out of the station house door. The pris-
oner was decorated with handouts, but
his legs were free and their owner was
working them as fast as possible.
Through an alley the chase led. Klein
dinst realized the negro would eventually
get too far ahead of him, so he drew his
revolver, and, after calling to the fugi-
tive fired at the ground. Two more
shots were fired. The fugitive fell to the
ground, screaming, "Oh, you've killed
me, you've killed me-" The detective
was puzzled to know how the bullet had
struck the fugitive in the neck. Subse-
quent examination proved the man had
only been scratched by the bullet.
