new and charming effects are seen
but they are most all variations of de-
signs we have had for a year past.
Low collars, round and square and
varying in width from the demure
little Jane Eyre to the regulation
Eton proportions are seen in lace and
embroidery and combinations of
these two. Sailor collars and deep
round collars several inches wider in
the back than over the shoulders are
new patterns which promise to be
very popular. They are extremely
youthful and this fact alone would be
sufficient to endear them to feminin-
ity. Very beautiful-and expensive
too-are the collar and cuff sets of
sheer handkerchief linen and batiste
exquisitely embroidered with dainty
flowers in natural colors. Those of
us who embroider we'll can add these
attractive accessories to our ward
robes at a fraction of the cost asked
for the articles in the smart shops.
Of course there are stocks-not all
neckwear is designed for the posses
sor of pretty, graceful necks-beauti-
full ones. and there are enough diff
ferent styles to please all tastes.
Touches of black in narrow bands,
pipings and tiny pert bows are used
on many of the dressy stocks with
jabots and plissr tabs designed for
afternoon wear with tailored suits.
Black and white effects are the
acme of smartness this spring espec-
tally black and white net pieces.

passed at the recent session of the
legislature, which went into effect
June 8, will be tested in the courts by
the Great Northern Railway Company,
which fled suit in the United States
circuit court yesterday asking for a re-
straining order to prevent the enforce
ment of the law.
The bill provides that crew of six
men, consisting of an engineer, fire.
man, conductor, two brakemen and a
hagman be put upon all full trains and
also provides that light or helper en-
gines have crew of three men, an
engineer fireman and flagman.
The penalty for each violation is
liked at from 500 to $500.
In the complaint filed yesterday the
Great Northern contends that Two
brakemen and a f1agman on full
train and flagman on light engine
are unnecessary and would cause an
expense of $50, 1000 year without cor
responding benefit.
The bill is characterized as uncon-
stitutional as it is alleged that it de-
prives the compliments of their prop

REVERSED DECISION IN
WASHINGTON CANAL CASE

Olympia, June 10.-Dismissing the
case of William L. Bilger and others
against the state of Washington and
E. j. Erickson, appellants, the state
supreme court has reversed the deci-
sion OF Superior Judge Mitchell, who
granted an injunction against the dig
ging of the Lake Washington canal.
The state court holds the act of 1907,
providing for special assessment
plan, to be valid. 1t holds that when
the state sold the shore lands in 1903
it did SO subject to the grant of the
federal government of the license with
an interest attached to lower the wa.
tiers of the lake, and that the acquiring
of uplands and shore lands gave no
riparian right.
The noted suit was started to re.
strain the digging of the canal. Soon
after the injunction which the supreme
court has now dissolved, Erickson
blew out a dam and let the waters
through. He was cited for contempt
of court, and his case is now pending

Commenting upon the matter, Mr..

Union Of Three Strong Men "For the

Mexico City, June 11.-With the
public announcements of Gen. Reyes
and President De La Bara that they
would accept the portfolios of foreign
relations and war in the cabinet of
Francisco l. Madero, should he be
elected president October 8, the for
mer rebel leader feels his chief work
in the capital is accomplished, and he
will leave tomorrow for five-day trip

He will review the troops of the
army of the south, under Ambrosio
Figueroa, and make speeches in doz-
ems of towns in the states of Guerrero
and Borelos, where he is not so well
known as in other parts of the re-
public.
The intended collaboration of Reyes,
De La Bara and Madero, "for the best
interests of the country" seems to
give the political situation here a
more definite turn than it has had in
some time. The conference follow
ing the meeting of the three yester-
day was so cordial that Gen. Reyes
and Senior Madero left the castle in
the same automobile.

these words Gen. Reyes might have
condensed a manifesto that he issued
tonight as preface to the statement
that he considered it an inopportune
time for the Mexican people to have

nomination the general requested all
those who would have supported him
to work for MaderO.

debate of the Democratic wool tarih

Mr.. George followed a plea for the
taxation on the unearned increase In
land values with a statement that he
believed the country would come to
public ownership of public utilities.
He was asked how the principle OF
single taxation of lands would reach
the great railroad corporations.
"The railroads should be treated as
public highways" said Mr.. George. Il
believe they should be placed in the
hands of the public along with the
telegraph and telephone. We must
have them in our civilization, and we
cannot have adequate permanent COM
petition in them.
Adequate taxation of the idle lands

trusts. Theis true control lies in the
lands they hold, and which they force

NOMINATION MEAN CALAMITY

White River Junction, VT, June 10.
Wallace Batchelder, member of
Troop X, Rough Riders, said that he
asked Colonel Roosevelt whether he
would be candidate for president in

he emphatically would not be, that he

that every friend of his would do
everything in his power to prevent
any movement looking toward his
nomination.
