FRILLS OF FASHION IN
THE WORLD OF WOMEN

Some of the most beautiful gowns for
evening and afternoon wear have the ap-
pearance of having been wrapped on the
wearer. These are extremely graceful,
but require an excellent dressmaker.
Three-quarter sleeves with turned-up
cuffs are shown on many of the new
spring tailored suits. These for the most
part are those cut with the kimono Shout
der.
Pongee motor coats with lining of
bright cerise. green. or blue are one of
the fads of the spring.

STATE OF TERROR
AT FORT RILEY
Many Officers Get Threaten.
ing Letters.

Fort Riley Kans., Dec. 15.-That Fort
Riley has been for nine months as near
a state Of terror as a well-disciplinfled
known here. Not only were there enough
incideniary fires and dynamite explosions,
but the commanding officers Of the post
had received letters threatening them
with death and their families with de-
struction. Night and day since early
last spring, Fort Riley has been under
more than double guard, and the homes
of commanding officers guarded night
and day.
OF the dynamite explosions and fires
the public already knows a little, but
there has been nothing written of person
al attacks by the letters on some of the
officers. Brig. Gen. w. S. Schuyler, COM
mander of the post; Col. eli D. Hoyle,
and commanding the Sixth Field Artil-
lery, and Col A. p. Hatfield were recip-
tents of letters threatening them with
personal violence and the blowing UP of
their homes
The first and one of the worst fires
was on the night of March IA, when the
quartermaster's and storehouse were en-
tirely destroyed by fire with a loss on
1,OO0, 000
At midnight, June a. the government
bridge was dynamited. The morning of
June q, fire destroyed Troop AS stable
and killed twenty-seven horeses. Au-
gust 9 and 10. an attempt was made to
blow-up the water main and cut the
fort entirely from its supply Of water
The last fire was September 9, when
flames were discovered in a trash can
in the administration building, very little
damage was done. In spite of the large
guard. the criminal or criminals carried
the schemes of destruction without being
caught in the act. The cost to the gov
ernment has been over $1,OO0O0O.

Suf4ragiStS Are Quizzed
At Parcel Post Hearing
Senators Shop Marked Interest in Views and
Opinions of Local Women-Miss
Hilton an Economist

Harvey W. Wiley, president Of the Staun-
ton Suffrage Club; Mrs. Jennie L Mum
roe, president Of the Women's Single
Tax Club, and Miss Harriette ]. Hilton,
chairman of the committee on labor OF
the District Federation Of Suffrage Clubs.
The testimony and examination OF
Miss Hilton consumed some time, and
the answers showed the local woman to
be a political economist of no small
caliber and information. Miss Hilton has
travelled extensively in Europe,
where she made a thorough study OF
economic conditions, which she evidently
supplemented with wide reading.
Tells of Educational Advantages.
Miss Hilton told Of the educational ad-
Gel post system, through the means 1t
would place at the disposal of circulating
libraries to reach a larger number OF
people at a minimum of cost. She be-
lieved that in determining the rate under
the proposed law, the Post-office Depart
ment should not be regarded necessarily
as self-supporting institution, believing
that it should be placed, in a degree.
upon the same plane as is the Library
of Congress-an educational and civiliz-
ing influence of the government
Senator Bristow examined Miss Hilton
at some length and tried to draw from
her an admission that a fiat rate for
parcel post would be unfair to those who
send Packages for short distances only.
Miss Hilton replied that she believed the
law of selection, which is held to justify
the present fat postal rate, should apply
as well to a parcel post.

of their argument and facts and COM
parisons of conditions here and in Eu-
Topean countries where parcel post
systems are in operation were advanced
as telling points in favor OF the Bourne
measure.
The views of the women were care
fully sought by Senators Bourne and
Bristow, and frequent questions kept the
witnesses on the stand until their an
swers had covered not only the reasons

by Mr.. Brandeis for his attitude in the
tobacco dissolution decree. Much of the
days discussion was devoted to a con-
sideration of the case. Referring more
| to the court than to the attorneys, Mr..
Brandeis said:
with extraordinary lack OF the trad
ing quality in man. they accepted the
plan submitted by the tobacco COM
pany's attorneys as the only one they
would either give or take"
Referring to the action of the Attor-
ney General in giving his approval to the
decree the witness continued:
In private practice any lawyer, rec
ogniZing the fact that circuit courts
have been created because of the known
fallibility of man, would have refused
to, accept this decree until 1t had been
reviewed by the United States Supreme
Court to ascertain if it was held 20 be
in line with the decision of that court.
Instead of this. the Attorney General
acquiesced, and A condition resulted
that leaves the independents in worse
condition than before the suit was
brought"
Who asked Senator Pomerene, In
your opinion. rendered the greater serv-
ice to the tobacco trust their own courl-
sci or the Attorney General?'
Mr.. Brandeis evaded a direct reply
The trust now is in better shape than
before the decree. for the things that were
illegal have been legalized." he said.
Labor's Revenge Coming.
The witness prophesied that the time
was coming when the trusts would reap
their natural reward from conditions he
said they have created.
THE revenge that is coming to them"
he said, rs due to their treatment OF
labor Workmen in these concerns are
driven like slaves and this results in
loss of efficiency, for the corporations get
only the results that come with slavery
and slave methods"
Urging shorter hours and better wages,
he said: Il believe in the economy of
high wages; I believe in the economy of
shorter hours. 1t means better efficiency,
more humane treatment, and more work"
The question of socialism came up
yesterday again. Just after Mr.. Bran
deis had told his story of the necklace
The declared that nothing had been so IA
vorable to the increase of socialism in
this country as the development of enor-
mously large fortune through profits
from the industrial trusts. Like the old
pagan who wished Christianity was en-
bodied in one person so II might be de-
strOyed by a single blow, Mr.. Brandeis
said the socialists Were hoping that all
these combinations might be gathered
into one so that by a single act they
might be taken over. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, the great organizer, they looked
upon as their friend because he was
from their point of view. paving the
way for this condition, where it would
require less legislation and the remedy
might ultimately be applied in single
blow. Mr.. Brandeis has been on the
stand two days. The committee displays
great interest in his views. He will re-
sumo this morning.

$I2, 900, 900. From the earnings Of this fund
We are maintaining a pension roll which
would surprise the country were the
number of its benefiCiaries mentioned.
Voluntary Aid Fund.
Besides this pension fund, we have an
annual voluntary aid fund OF more than
81 100000. This money is contributed to
the support of workmen injured in our
employ and to dependent families in case
of the death of their breadwinners. We
make no legal bubbles in the distribu-
tion of this voluntary aid fund. Not
cent of it comes from the wages of our
employees. 1t is paid out without stint
or threat of resorting to lawsuits to de-
termine judicially the merit Of the claim
that may be presented. We have no
thought of liability laws or other such
statutes when drawing upon 1t.
We have committees of our own con-
stantly studying and bettering the SAN
itary and hygienic conditions of every
piece of property we control, from the
iron and coal mines to the steel mills.
This entails an annual expenditure
upon the company of more than mil
lion and a half dollars. We give par
ticular attention to the water supply
at our plants and other properties. We
are seeing to II that the most approved
scientific methods are applied to every
phase OF sanitation. II the water is too
warm or too cold, we correct 1t for the
benefit of our employees. We see to II
that all Out-houses are carefully pro-
tected from becoming the breeding spots
for infectious germs. We are building
comfortable residences for the employees
everywhere. These we rent to them at a
price that gives a fair return on the in
vestment and that price is invariably
lower than similar property in the same
community brings. We are selling these
houses to our employees at cost on the
instaIlment plan. We keep our own
stores where that is advisable, and
always charge less than other stores
around us.
Shnrese for Employees.
AT the beginning of every year the
company sets aside from 5000 to 5000
shares of its treasury stock for sale to
its employees. These shares, both pre-
ferred and common, are sold to them at
two to three pointe below the market
price. For example, if Steel common was
quoted at siXty-ive to-day, our employees
could buy II at siXty-three or siXty-two.
Then at the end Of the year we give them
IS rebate on every share of stock they
hold. This system in reality reduces the
purchase price to them to about $25, par
NdIue' DelO" WndI Ine pubic mas 10 pay
for our securities. We prefer for our
employees TO buy the company's securities
on the installment plan. That guarantees
that they will hold it and stimulates
their interest in the welfare of the COM
pany. In other words, We prefer to
make ouN employees rather than the pub
lie who are looking out for profit, our
partners. The longer they take to pay
for their stock the better we like it.
There is no sort of restriction, however,
upon their paying casfr.
I'VE have found that this scheme, to-
gether with our cooperative plan, is
working excelIentIy.
