DIR. COOK \ VAUDEVILLIAN.
Makes His Debut With Moving Pic.
lures And ROaSts Yellow Press.

New York, Feb. 14.-Dr. Fred erick
a. Cook, who is not sure whether he
discovered the North Pole or not, dis
covered a new field for financial gain
today when he deserted the lecture
platform and burst into vaudeville.
Doctor Cook made his first appear
ance along with moving pictures and
other photographs at the Manhattan
Opera House, which not so long ago
likewise deserted the legitimate and
began to uplift the polite varieties.
The Doctor occupied a place on the
bill between Mcintyre and Heath and
the Eight English Madcaps. A tre-
mendous audience was on hand TO
hear what the Doctor had to say. and
his talk and pictures were greeted
with cheers and Kisses, according to
the sympathies of the people "out in
front"
The Doctor lost no time in dispel~
ling the thought that he had become
a vaudevillian for money. Art and a
desire to be set right before the world
had driven him to the stage, he ad-
mitted, and for that reason he was
anxious to tell twice a day the terrible
sufferings he went through in order
to collect the photographs which he
had to show.
The set Of stereopticon views por-
trayed Doctor Cook traversing the
frozen Nortn and ended with q sight
of the explorer waving two American
flags at the very pole.
After he warmed up to his subject.
Doctor Cook was no longer humble.
Notwithstanding that he appeared
pale and nervous, he was very angry
indeed.

A LONG FIGHT WON.
SENATE PASSES BILL TO ESTAB.
LISH NATIONAL PARKS IN
APPALACHIAN HIGH
LANDS.
Bill, Which Has Received Assent of
Lower lie =. Now requires Only
Sanction Iresidcnt-Affects the
South ciaIIy.1

W sston, Feb. ,5.-After many
we :. delay, the bill looking to the
g on Of national forest reserves in
: White Mountains and the South
an Appalachians passed the senate
late today, the vote standing 81 to 9.
The negative vote was cast by Sem
ators Bristow, Burton, Clark of Wy
oming, Cullom, McCumber, Republi-
cans, and Senators Davis. PAINTER and
Shivley Democrats.
The bill passed the house last ses-
sion and, as it was accepted by the
senate without change, it lacks only
the signature of the president to make
it a law.
The entire day was given to the
subject by the Senate. Senators
Brandege Of Connecticut and Calling
er Of New Hampshire stood as spon-
sors on the measure.
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
and Newlands of Nevada spoke in SUD-
port Of the bill and Senators Burton
of Ohio and Hepburn of Idaho in op-
position.
Senator Hepburn denounced the bill
as farce. He declared that if Sc
riously carried into effect it would
cost more than the Panama canal.
While it is understood on all sides that
the purpose of the bin is the acquisi-
ton of lands in the White mountains
OF New England and of the Appala-
chians in the Southern States for the
creation of forest reserves It contains
no specific mention Of such purpose.
The authority for this proceeding is
found in the general powers con-
ferred by the bill. The carrying into
effect Of the provisions of the bill is
placed in the hands OF a commission.
TO be composed Of the secretary of
war, the secretary of the interior and
the secretary Of agriculture and two
senator's and two members of the
house.
No selection of lands has been made
as yet but it is the intention to buy
vast acreages on the great watersheds
of the Virginias, the Carolinas and
Tennessee, to make public parks OF
the land SO purchased and to regulate
the flow of water into the streams of
the States by preventing the denuda-
ton Of the forest in such a way as
to prevent floods.

BAILEY DEFENDS LoRIMER,
DEFENSE OF LORIMER BECOMES
ATTACK ON DETRACTORS
BeVer1dgc Seeks to Fix Date for De-
cisiOn. but Burrows Comes to Res
cue With Objection.

Washington, Feb. 14.-An effort to
fix a day for a vote in the senate upon
the Lorimer case was made today, but
once more it failed. Assurance was
given, however, that ultimately a vote
would be permitted
Upon the conclusion of Senator
Baileys' speech in defense Of Mr.. Lor-
inner, which he had resumed after
having talked three hours yesterday,
MT. Beverldge tried to obtain unani-
nous consent to fix date for the
vote. Objection was forthcoming at
once from Mr.. Burrows, chairman on
the committee on privileges and elec-
tons
Tempering his objection with some
measure Of balm for the opponents of
the Illinois senator, Mr.. Burrows said
that in time there would be a storm.
Ihls was taken to mean that later
during the session the friends of Mr..
Lorimer considered that they might
race a vote with less danger to him
than now.
Mr.. Bailey soon entered upon SEN
sauonal grounds by practically de-
clarlng the bank deposit slip evidenc-
ing State Senator Holstaw's deposit
in the State Bank of Chicago had been
fnTpary
that yesterday Senator Cummins had
sought to introduce the original slip
which it was claimed had been made
out by one Newton, chief clerk of the
bank.
Mr.. Cummins, Mr.. Bailey said, had
permitted him to take the paper and
added that his examination Of it had
only had the effect Of confirming his
theory that the slip had been a
forgery. He was sure that the hand
writing shown in Newton's signature
was not the same as on the slip.
What he admitted was a delicate
branch Of his investigation was then
entered upon by Mr.. Bailey. Express
ing surprise that the slip only and
not tae books of the bank had been
introduced in the testimony the SEN
ator said that the slip was the only
paper in the banks files that could
have been forged. He appreciated, he
said. the seriousness of such a charge
as this, but he seemed to find a pos
sible explanation in Gov. Deneen's
connection with the bank.
His friends control the institution
or at least he is a stockholder in it,

street car last night For some time all of US in
the car had been watching with delight beautiful
little girl and her father, who were enjoying each
Others society immensely, Then the little one
grew sleepy and her curly head lay eozily against
her fathers arm. 1t was evidently a long, tire
some ride and far beyond her bedtime that we
were all glad when the father picked her up and
started to leave the car at a crossroad We smiled
tendery at the drowsy little face turned to US over
his shoulder but were not prepared for the
climax of the pretty incident The child lifted her

its folds shaping to the contour of the head with
dashing trangles of pink tafeta placed at the
sides, over the ears.
Black silk tights were worn with the costume
and black silk sandals
But this is not all which comprised the ultra
bathing toilet. A black moire sunshade lined with
pink and bag shaped like the fashionable aumon-
iere, also lined with pink, and long silken cord
to sling over the shoulder added.
Not one woman in a hundred would think of
following this expensive fad but where the purse
an may indulge her fastidious whims. Practically
all of the imported sea-going costumes have their
accessories to MATCH in the true Partisan style
which never sights details.
There are caps, hosiery, shoes, sandals, sun
shades, bags and even long bath or rather beach
for in the surf. The hosiery and shoes are
always in the darkest possible shade as being less
striking and in better taste. Besides, black and
dark colors always make the limbs and feet ap-
pear smaller.
MoDIsH DETAILS
Many of the modish details seen on frocks are
repeated for the bathing costume Kimono sleeves
are very largely employed and elbow length that
is covering these joints, which, rule, are not
attractive enough to show,
Collar efects-there Is simply no end of charm
ing possibilities The sailor collars are largely
represented; usually made of self-trimriine and
sometimes daintiiy seailoped on the edge, finished
with scarf ends or a bow
Lingerie collars of all descriptions are much
sought after because of the seasons marked ap-
proval for frilly, feminine things These are cir
cular, V-shaped and square or the sailor style.

"Ah, there's the rub"
Be it said to their credit that the majority OF
the best shops in town offer costumes which are
practically designed, the skirts being narrow, but
not extreme to jeopardize comfort or movements
This narrowing of the skirt produces very trig

models previously employed.
When water-soaked. any material is heavy, and

Tights with stocking feet are still worn but the
majority of women will favor the bloomers, which

Sometimes the skirt and blouse are joined to-

The princess style still maintains but belts are
invariably worn, and frequently off the normal
waistiine. This finish to the waist Is usually of
self-trimming, that Is, like the dress itself, or Its
trimming, though sometimes totally different ma
terial is employed.
For example, very chic little bathing costume
of black moire was madeNiR princess style, the
skirt hanging straight to the knees, The short
WASTED blouse was finished off with girdle of
narrow width of coral tafeta The chenisette
was of batiste trimmed with fine Cluny lace and

JUMP NEAR NEW STATION
Lot Owners Jubilant-Although IS Per Cent. of
Monument Annex Lots Have Been Sold, the
Owners Have Contract With Blanton &
Co., Sales Agents, and Prices Will Not
Be Raised Before Dec. IS, 1911.

West End real estate received a decided boost yester-
day when it became known that Elba Station would. in the
immediate future, be abandoned and a new "WEST RICH
MOND STATION" built at Broad Street and the Belt Line
almost adjoining ANNEX.
Probably no other suburb has ever attained the success
and popularity as has ANNEN. but even the
most sanguine hopes and expectations of its owners never
contemplated that a depot and car line would be built so
soon. 1t is easy to see what this means to those who have
already bought in Monument Annex.
Messrs. Blanton & Co, Sales Agents, announce that they
nave a contract to sell this property at present prices until
December I5-that is, if any remain unsold at that date.
About one-fourth of the lots are now for sale at from S,oo
to $1,000 each. The same easy terms may also be secured.
Those who snap UP these few remaining lots will undoubtedly
make big profits.
MONUMENT ANNEX is just 1000 feet from the Rose
meath Road, which will soon become an eighty-foot-wide
Boulevard.
When seen in their we'll appointed new offices on first floor
OF the Travellers Building, 1Io8 East Main Street, yesterday,
Blanton & Co said: eve have always enthusiastically in
dorsed ANNEX because we have always
had unbounded faith in its future, as it is situated right at
Richnonds western border, with Richmond's best streets
such as Grace, Franklin, Cutshaw and Monument Avenue
running through it, and to-day's announcement that it is soon
to have a new passenger depot and street car line proves be.
yound all doubt that our Endorsement and Judgment wer.

irons and the city's welfare at heart. This step will mean
much to both. Are there still good chances to get in on the
ground floor? Yes, sir; for the live ones who act now. But
we know such opportunities won't last long-lots are going
