Criminal Smart Set of Naples.

CHARMING HATS
FOR SMALL FOLKS.
The Mushroom Shapes and Rib
bon Flowers Are Popular

Whatever forms are taken by hats
for grown people. the majority of hats
for children are constructed to afford
some shade 70 the eyes and to rest
comfortably on the head. The muSh
room shape is varied somewhat. but
remains along the same lines and is
built of straw and also of lingerie.
One such type of hat is made of leg
horn and is trimmed with a wide piece
of soft satin ribbon wound around the
crown and finished on the side with
two satin roses and a few artificial
leaves.
To make the roses one must wrap Il
fold of satin around the finger quite
loosely and sew the lower edge of the
folds together The satin is then
pushed out and caught down in places
to simulate the petals of half blown
brown. yellow or green are introduced
into the middle and sewed in place.
One may. however. buy satin roses
which are considered better form for
children's wear than the usual artiti
cial roses In place of flowers it is
also iD good taste TO sew rOsette or
several fat loops of ribbon on the hat
mushroom shape with enlarged fiat
crown is in a rough straw. with band
of yellow ribbon around the upper part
of the crown and double loops of grad
uated ribbon set at intervals upon the
brim A wreath of small flowers is
then basted in place around the
crown If the hat is TO be worn for
school and play purposes simple
rucbing of ribbon around the crown is
trimming enough.
'Tete de negre" straw is very much
favored for wear. 1t rarely fades and
is dark enough to match any color.
Piping is applied to many of the
newest hats. and when the trimming
consists of plumage the colors of it
and the piping harmonic.
Putty is one Of the shades seen in

ing for the ordinary adult complexion

DR.. White Favors Giving Asy-
Ium Patient Greater Amount
of Liberty.

DR.. William A. White, superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the In
sane. today denied that he had urged the
parole from that asylum of w. H.
Ledger. an inmate. who eight years ago
killed two men and wounded three others
while defending a mine against five claim
jumpers.
DR.. White admitted that he had con-
ferred with r. v. La Dow, superintend-
ent of prisons of the Department of
Justice. relative to allowing Ledger ad-
ditional privileges about the hospital and
grounds.
The shooting for which Ledger was
convicted occurred in Alaska. He was
sentenced to serve twenty years in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth,
Kan. After serving eight years in the
penitentiary and in the Government Hos
pital for the Insane Ledger has con-
WINGED the authorities that he killed his
assailants in self-defense and that his
mind has become unbalanced because of
g. blow he received on the head during
the melee with the claim jumpers.
Ledger's case may be considered by
the board Of parole at its next meeting
in May to settle the question.
Attendants at the hospital say Ledger
has been a model patient. DR.. White
believes that little more liberty at the
asylum would help the former miner S

that Ledger will ever be dismissed from
the hospital on parole.

ANTITRUST LAW VOID,
ASSERT MEAT PACKERS
Fails to Create Any Crime, Their
Contention in Demurrers
to Indictments.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Demurrers filed by
the indicted Chicago meat packers today
before Judge Carpenter in the United
States district court set up the conten-
ton that the antitrust act of $780, under
which all monopoly suits are brought In
the United States, does not create any
crime.
Their basis for this contention is:
THAT the statute does not define any
offense against the United States with
sufficient certainty to inform the defend
ants of the nature of the crime or offense
with which they are charged, and the
same, in so far as 1t undertakes to create
a crime, is invalid, void, and contrary to
the United States Constitution
The demurrer, along this same line,
says:
The description Of the offense contain
ed in this section, on which the indict-
ment is based. is not one by which the
defendants were or are able to know
in advance whether the acts were GRIM
inal or not"
The indictments also are attacked as
of faulty preparation.
