hang straight and loose like the

thinking of it, the whole garment, its
cut and silhouette is very suggestive
of the dress of the Land of Cherry

the shoulders like a sack and one must
be slender and graceful to carry It

this swagger coat, or rather the coat is
best when one stands. When walk

one walks awkwardly or takes too

Self trimmings feature strongly in
these separate coats. Striped material
used on the cross and bias in belts,

Whatever the coat be made of or
whatever the use it is designed for,
its cut is always such as to describe
the straight up and down silhouette.

able fashion plate this spring. To
see her tripping along the street these
first bright days of the new season.
her youthful figure clad in smart
new tailor-made and her head topped
with a jaunty chapeau one might
think that time for her had turned
backward. Her very consciousness of
youthfulness OF appearance seems to
take years from her manner and ex-
preston and make her a most pleas
ing personality.
The narrow silhouette described
with a jaunty short coat above a
straight narrow skirt several inches
off the ground-from two to two and
a half to be more exaCt-and a chic
little chapeau, and one has a good
mental picture of the tout ensemble of
the feminine street garb for spring.
Practically the same as winter fash
ions, you say? Quite true. There is
no radical change from the winter.
The new notes appear in the small
details such as collar, cuffs and trim
mings, and many of these have come
down from the winter pinnacle OF ex-
elusive fashions to the ranks of popu-
lar sellers.
Braid is useu most effectively on
many suits, and black braid with blue
serge seems to be the favorite. En-
broidered effects with braid and heavy
silk is another form OF trimming

good this season. There is a tenden-
cy toward less severe effects in coat
suits this spring-an effort to dress
up the tailor-made as it were-and It
is probable that this type OF suit will
take well. The plain mannish coat is
not becoming to all. Many women
need something "fussy" as they term it.
What they really mean is-they need
something dressier than the severe
tailored coat suit. And this they are
sure to find in the smart little coats
with sailor collars, in the braided
models, and the odd little coats that
look like a cut off raglan, and the
REFER effects. These last two are
perhaps the newest type and quite
the most youthful. The sailor collar
models have rolling revers of satin
or silk-for one or the other is used
in this detail of the coat-and the
fronts fasten with two handsome but
tons or pair of heavy silk frogs and
loops.
Coats are loose fitting at the waist
line only. They hug the shoulders and
the hips and curve ever so slightly
under the arms.
Skirts-oh. they are narrow: but
not ridiculously or grotesquely SO.
And they are made in proportion to
the size of the figure they are de-
signed to dress. Two and a quarter
to two and half yards is the aver
age width at the feet. Many skirts
are finished at the top with an inside
belt that lifts them couple of inches

CONF FERENCE ON
MORRIS CANAL
ABANDONMENT
Matter Discussed Today at
Trenton=-GOvernOr and Others
Consider Water Problem.
Especial to the Newark star.l

TRENTON, April 1.-TWO important
conferences took place at the State
House today. Those present at one
were Attorney General Wilson, former
Justice Bennett Van Syckel, of this
city; William H. Corbin and Richard
V. Lindabury, the latter two being
well-known lawyers.
This meeting was in the Office of the
attorney-general and they conferred
over the proposition involving the
abandonment of the Mofrrs canal,
They discussed the pending suit to
test what rights the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company has in the canal
basin at Jersey City, a property OF
great value, and also considered the
Joint resolution now pending in the
Legislature providing for commission
to investigate the whole canal abandon
ment proposal and to ascertain upon
what terms such abandonment could
equitably be permitted. None of the
conferees would discuss the meeting.
In the Governors office, Governor
Wilson. Attorney General Wilson and
Assemblyman Thomas F. McCran, of
Passaic, had long talk on the ques-
tion of the conservation of the States
water supply. This conference took
place because of the proposal of the
federal government to condemn lands
in North Jersey in order to give 1t
power to divert Jersey water to Staten
Island. Mr.. McCran was present as
the father of the anti-diverting law of
the legislature of 1910. None of those
present would discuss what took place.

.HALsEY STREET
Bull DING SOLD
To DR.. GLUCK
Sl50,O00 Paid for Tw0=story
Structure Next to the
Y. M. 6. A.

One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars was the price that DIR. Bernard
Gluck paid the Fairchild- Baldwin Com
pany today for the two-story building
on the southwest corner of Halsey and
Warren streets, abstting the K. NJ. C. A.
The deed is one of the largest in
amount made out since Newark prop
erty went soaring, and DR.. Gluck wins
by his purchase a building two stories
in height, with sSis feet On Halsey
street and Sc feet on Warren. He
bought 1t as plain investment doubt
less having in mind the $40. 100 rental
that is annually paid by the Storey &.
Clark Piano Co. and the Newark Busi-
ness College. which occupy 1t. His IN
vestment yields 8 per cent. dividend
net on nearly two hundred thousand
dollars. 1t is understood that the new
owner has no immediate changes in
mind. DR.. Gluck lives at 301 South
Seventh street
The sale was consummated through
A. F. Baldwin, of Ritter & Baldwin,
and Sam Berger, of DR.. Kraemer's real
estate Office
1t is interesting to note that the pur-
chaser. Dr. Gluck. has been first pas
tor of Jewish church in Newark, next
a doctor Of medicine, and has finally
become one of the most prosperous real
estate investors and dealers in the city.
The property he purchased was
bought from Matthias Welch by the
Fairchild- Baldwin concern only a short
time ago. They turned the two shacks
that then adorned 1t into the present
building, and. it is said, into one Of the
best net rental buildings in town.
The property is only separated by
the Y. NJ C. A. from the Michaels pur-
chase, which was recently chronicled
in the Evening STAR.

rushed to the street Someone had ex-
ploded a heavy bomb in front of the
basement door at 131 West Forty fifth
street, between Sixth avenue and
Broadway, in the very. centre of the
all-night district, set thick with chop
houses, lobster palaces and hotels. 1t
was o'clock and the tenderloin was
mailing ready. for 1t.
The terrific report Jared the whole
neighborhood for fifteen blocks around,
and the force of the explosion blew in
the basement doors of the chop house
and shattered all the windows. The
upper stories were tenantless, and the
ground floor, occupied by furrier, was
vacant at the time, so nobody was
hurt; but bomb so far from the East
Side quickly drew a crowd of thou
sands. In the Hotel Lyceum, a bis

was blown from his stool and stunned
by the fall. Guests who tried to learn
through the house exchange what all
the excitement was about got no an

other apartment houses scantily-

owner of the house, and not an ordi-

HENS COP FINDS LAY FOUR
EGGS ERE OWNER APPEARS

Sergeant McGovern. of the Fourth
Precinct, likes fresh eggs, but he hates
to part with the money the fresh egg
dealers ask for them. This morning
the problem was solved for. the SER
geant when there were found in the
box stall of the stable four freshly
laid eggs, laid by four of the nine
chickens that were picked up yester-
day by Patrolman Heitzenroeder.
AS the patrolman was passing Rose
street and Eighteenth avenue yester-
day he saw a bag containing the nine
chickens.
Unfortunately, the joy of Sergeant
McGovern is to be short-lived. Alfred
Cort, of s05 South Sixteenth street, re-
ported that he lost the chickens, and he
will take them away just as soon as
he identifies the egg-producers. This
is not going to happen till they have
laid at least a half dozen more, if the
egg-lovers of the precinct can help it.
After it is ell over they will again have
to face the problem of the high price Of
living on fr eshly-laid eggs.

Is Reluctant to Answer

Changes in Size of Globes Made

Things"
[Trom a STAFF Correspondent. ]

JERSEY CITY, April Hugh Rob-
erts, the supervising architect of the
Hudson County Court House, was
grilled on grill work and other things
before Supreme Court Justice Swayze
today. Robert H. McCarter, the attor-
ney who is conducting the probe, had
innumerabie tilts with the witness and
censured him many times for his re-
luctance.
The deeper the probe goes the more
amazing are the disclosures of the
reckless expenditures in - connection
with the construction and furnishing
of the s3.500,000 court house. The evil
dence seems to show day by day that
on nearly everything that went into
the building . the taxpayers were
swindled.
Had Reluctant Witness.
Mr.. McCarter knew that he had re-
luctant witness to deal with, for Judge
Swayze was obliged to use threats in
order to get Roberts in court today.
The architect was twitching and
squirming on the wi ness-stand and his
nervousness only served to make Mr..
McCarter all the more severe with
him.
why didn't you tell US that in the
first instance" and You seem TO want
to hide the facts" were the frequent
comments of the Newark lawyer.
Roberts was questioned on the elec-
tric fixtures first. That contract was
given to Cassidy & Co., and the firm
has been paid in full $4,000. Roberts
explained that he had asked several
firms to submit designs covering a
$4,000 job, and Cassidy & Co. were
awarded the contract because their de-
signs We're the best. Pointing to an
electric light fixture on Judge Swayze's
desk Mr. McCarter asked the witness:
Don't you know that they are
ground glass globes instead of cut
gIassg'
"Yes, know it," hotly replied the
witness.
why did you permit such a thing
to happen?"
Because Mr.. Knox, the expert en-
gineer, said that sand glass diffused
the light better"
Well shouted Mr.. McCarter, jump
ing to his feet, don't you know that
sand glass costs about 80 per cent. less
than cut glass?"
mo I don't know anything of the
kind. I think sand glass costs more"
Mr.. McCarter then stopped that line
of inquiry and asked the witness why
it was that the globes were all under
the size provided for in the contract
He cited instances where seven-inch
bases, instead of fourteen-inch ones,
were installed.
Witness replied: mo expert could
make design for that kind of work
that would be absolutely correct. Ger
