QUARREL RENDS
SUGAR TRUST"
Young Havemeyer Declares
War On Men Who Struck
at His Father.

Horace Havemeyer, "a years old
only son of the late H. O. Havemeyer,
organizer and president of the Sugar
Trust, few days ago threw down the
gauntlet to the officials of the mo-
nopoly that his father created. He
served notice on the trust that it must
fight to obtain possession of the $10,-
600 600 of common stock of the Ma
tional Sugar Refining Company of New
Jersey wiIled to him and his sisters
by his father.
In the second instance, and to young
Havemeyer, personally, the most i'm
portant, he is fighting the sugar mo-
nopoly, now harried on all sides by
the Federal government, to preserve
the personal integrity of his father.
"They have tried to besmirch the
reputation of my father" he said, but
every act of my father in connection
with the acquisition Of the common
stock of the National Sugar Refining
Company of New Jersey was done with
the full knowledge and consent of the
board of directors of the American
Sugar Refining Company, of which he
was president"

Thomas Resigns Presidency.

Coincident with young Havemeyers
defiance to the Sugar Trust was the
announcement from the trust head
quarters that Washington b. Thomas,
it's president, had resigned that Office
at recent meeting and had become
chairman of the board of directors.
Persons close to the situation said that
the resignation of Thomas under Fed
eral fire sounded the ending of his
active connection with the monopoly,
whose dissolution is now demanded by
the Federal authorities
Thomas is now under indictment
with John e. Parsons, Gustav Kissel
and other directors, charged with
criminal completely in the looting of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany. That case is to be urged to a
speedy trial, according to United states

CALF AND GOOSE ARE CHUMS
Attempts Suicide When Fowl
Is Sick.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-No stranger
affection ever existed than that be-
tween calf and goose, owned by
Miss Hannah George, who lives on a
little farm, near Mount Vernon. The
friendship sprang up last summer
when Miss George sold her COW and
the calf was turned into a pasture
where there we're no bushes to brush
away the flies.
One day the goose, seeing a swarm
of flies on the calf while It was lying
down, caught and ate nearly every
fly that was bothering It. The calf
was grateful for the attention and
chased dog that was in the habit Of
worrying the goose. Since then the
goose has been the calfs constant
companion, spending the entire day
strsitting around and jumping for the
flies that light on the calf.
The other day the goose was sick
and was kept in closed pen. The
calf, missing its friend, would not be
consoled and attempted to strangle
itself with its rope. Miss George dis
entangled 1t just in time to save its
life.

MAN is SLAIN BY MINISTERS

Bullets.

Blue Ridge, Ga.-Carter Lingerfelt,
moonshiner, was shot to death in
Mount Pisgah church, about seven
miles from here by Rev. William
Kimmo, Baptist minister. Rev. Mr..
Kimmo was aided in the fight by his
two brothers, both of whom are
preachers, and one of them was seri-
ously wounded by Lingerfelt.
A conference of the congregation
was being held in the church, when
Lingerfelt broke down the door. en-
tered and threatened to kill the
preacher. Lingerfelt had previously
threatened to run the three ministers
out of the county If they continued
to preach against moonshining. The
Kimmos continued their crusade from
various pulpits against the illegal
manufacture and sale of whisky, and
when Lingerfelt appeared they were
ready for him.
AS soon as Lingerfelt drew his pis-
toll the three brothers opened fire,
and Lingerfelt fell, pierced by half
dozen bullets, but not before, how
ever, he had fred three shots himself,
wounding Rev. w. H. Kimmo seri-
ously. The preachers fired from the

IDEA FOR THE CENTERPlECE
Colored Embroidery on Ecru Linen Is
Good-AIso Edging of Heavy
Linen Thread.

One of the new between-meal cen
terpieces in colored embroidery on
ecru linen had a finish that was an
agreeable change from the usual
scallop and wide lace.
The edge was straight round the
circle in a quarter of an inch band
worked solidly in satin stitch and be-
yond it was an inch-wide gimp, such
as is used by upholsterers to edge
curtains. They repeated the tones
used in the embroidery.
Another finish for one of these cen
terpieces is half-inch edging of heavy
linen thread such as is used for GER
tain edges
A third finish, though scarcely so
good looking when fitted on the table,
Is border of white linen fringe, the
kind much in style for lampshades.
The above can be used under
guimpe on buttonholed scallop.

When Wearing Flowers.

All of us love to wear cluster of
flowers when we are very much
dressed up indeed but the trouble is
that the stems often stain light-col-
ored fabrics, no matter how carefully
we dry them or how Intellectually
wrap them in tissue paper. One
clever girl has solved the problem by
making a chamois bag to hold the
stems.
She cut a piece of chamois (gray
glove chamois is best) into cornuco-
pia shape, stitching 1t together on the
machine. On the back she sewed a
small safety-pin. This she fastens to
her coat or bodice and slips the stems
into it. Those who sometimes wear
long stemmed roses, etc, at evening
functions should make two cases, one
long for these and one short for such
flowers as violets. The case is in
conspicuous and very effective.

TWO Merry Games.

Anyone under thirty enjoys these
games. The first is called Pass It."
At each end of the drawing room have
an empty clothes basket and another
basket 6lled with articles of all sorts,
such as books. balls, pens, pencils,
shoe horn, bell, old hats, clothes
brush, nail brush, old doll-in fact,
anything that can be collected around
the house. Choose by lot or ballot two
captains, who then choose sides and
place their players in line so that they
face each other. A full basket is
placed on the right of each captain
and an empty one at the left of the
players at the end of each line. At a
signal from the one in charge each
captain selects an article from his bas-
ket and hands it to the next person,
who Immediately passes it as quickly
as possible to the person at his side.
In this manner the articles are picked
up and rapidly passed on. II an article
is dropped it has to go back to the
captain and be started over again.

may add to the interest of the game
to offer prize to the player who can
remember the names of the articles
passed and write them down on a slip
of paper ten minutes after the game
has been played and the objects re-
moved from sight The hostess, of
course, must have correct list and
check off the articles. This makes

The players are asked to form a circle
about two feet apart from each other.
The leader stands in the middle, hold
ing a long, stout string to the end of
which is tied small book wrapped in
paper. The person in the middle
whirls the book around the circle on
the floor, holding it by the string, and
each time coming nearer the feet of

feet the players must jump over it.

The Priests Frock.

The little priests frock" is the
latest development. In shape it close
ly resembles a cures soutane, being
fashioned of soft black satin with a
row of crochet buttons from the
throat to the hem, while the fiat sash
with fringed ends accentuates the eff
feet. A little simulated bolero of
bright bishops purple satin is spliced
into the gown, while the high black
satin collar is finished with a white
lawn stock. A stiff bow of the bishops
satin with long ends tasselled with
gold completes the effect. This lit
tie frock carries with it semi-fitting
coat of black velvet with touches of
purple satin. And the hat with it is
called "Papal."

NOW EVERYTHING is SIMPLE
deliberately Decorated Dinner Table
Has Gone Entirely Out of
Popular Favor.

Fashion is tickle in table service as
well as In other things. The dinner
table of today is not what it was a
few years ago. All the ornateness OF
decoration has departed, and center
pieces no longer resemble jungles,
while one can eat at ones ease with
out being surrounded by silly little
china Cupids and evans.
The whole scheme of decoration
for the modern dinner table makes
for simplicity. Any suggestion of
ostentation is bad form. The table
is not strewn with trailing smilax
and loose flowers, nor is the bare
mahogany seen as of old, except for
luncheon or breakfast.
There is reversal Of taste in
favor of good linen, plain glass, good
flowers and a general practical sim
plicity of service in every detail
Glass bowls with a few well-selected
flowers are even supplanting the sill
yer ones, but the latter are often of
such real beauty and lend to the
table such distinction that 1t will be
difficult to supplant them entirely.
Odd little novelties for the table
have crept in recently. One of the
newest is small cruet frames for each
guest, and these cruets contain moth
ing but pepper of different kinds.
Cayenne. Nepaul, All (from Peru
Hungarian, paprika and Chile pow
der are used so that each guest may
flavor his food to his taste. The
really up-to-date person nowadays
pretends to be an expert in pepper.

SUITED TO THE DEBUTANTE
Dancing Froek Patterned After One

These mid-season frocks have the
same straight, slim lines, with little
surplice bodices above high sash or

earlier costumes. From Cabot has

0LD-TIME FRoLICS POPULAR
Society Has Turned Back to Other
Days for Amusements for
the Season.

The merrymskings this winter seem
to have gone back to the old country
frolics for ideas. The spelling bee,
beloved of our grandmothers, seems
to have leaped into new popularity,
and is being revived for parlors and
semi-public places, and the boys and
girls in old-time dress spell each
other down with as great enthusiasm
as ever did young folk of fifty years
ago.
Hostesses like the quaint setting
with background of ancestral mahog-
any and crazy quilts and the youthful
guests relish the opportunity to dress
up in the picturesque garb of long
ago.
One fair committee even made
public entertainment of such bee
with great success. 1t may contain
the germ of an idea for some other
band similarly placed, for the plan

as carried out was certainly well

The ladies' sent challenge to a
prominent mans club, of which most
OF the husbands and brothers were
members, offering to spell them down
on certain evening to be agreed
upon among them.
The male contingent took mirthful-

accepted. On receipt Of the date
agreed upon the committee arranged
for the printing and distribution Of
circulars announcing the contest to
be held, and offering for sale reserved
seats at popular prices.
Not only those acquainted with
both sets Of contestants were inter
ested, but the general public of the
neighborhood was tickled by the idea.
The beauty of this entertainment
was that it required no costumes. no
scenery. nothing, in fact, but little

PACKED INTO SMALL SPACE
BY the Exercise of Little Ingenuity
IL Is Wonderful What Can Be
Done.

Travelling in these days when motor

try functions, brings out latent talents
in trunk packing To stow away every

hotel, but for twoday visit to
friends on the line of route as we'll
makes demand on closeness of pack
ing which in old times used to be con-
sidered the prerogative of the sailor
and the yachtsman.
One of the most useful contrivances
is a small homemade hold-all to con-
tain the needs of the day, carried out
in dark silk, such as green or navy
blue, and lined with thin macintosh
sheeting. If the silk is turned back
at either end for half yard, and sewn
down, two pockets will be formed
which will hold a fresh motor veil,
light gloves, to take the place, when
shopping, of fur motor gauntlets, to-
gether with a veil for the face, an ex-
ira muffler and the comforts which
are necessary when all weathers have
to be expected, and when many ad-
ventures may be encountered.
A sponge bag of the usual dimen-
sions can be substituted by square
of macintosh covered with silk to
match the hold-all, and divided into
pockets, intended to contain not only
washing apparatus, but bath and toilet
soap, case of tooth powder and
brush, tin for methylated spirits, hair
curling etna and other toilet neces-
saries, which it is best to isolate in a
damp-proof case. This can be rolled
up so as to make large or small par
eel, and secured with washing ribbon.
