These boots should be Of very good
quality, for If not built of soft, hex-

The sewing bag shown in another
photograph is also roomy enough to
suit the woman who likes to keep a
quantity of plain and fancy sewing on
hand and perhaps a little mending,
too, which may be picked up in idle
hours between lighter work. The fea-
ture of this sewing bag is the arrange
ment of drop sides which are pro
vided with various pockets for nee
dies. scissors, and other implements
Of the needlewoman.
These shaped pieces are made of
stiff cardboard covered with Gre
tonne like the bag, and are bound all
around the edges with ribbon or tape.
The four side sections are attached
to a square section which forms the
bottom Of the bag; and this bag has
four sides, the top being drawn up
on cords. Another cord passes through
small holes in the board sides and
when desired these sides may be let
down fiat on table or chair so that
the worker may easily get at the
needles and other small belongings
attached by means of shirred pock-
cts or straps to the inside of the sides.
Within the big bag may be carried
the mending, sewing or other work
on which the owner OF the bag Is en-
gagged.

A Nest of Bags for Fancyworlz.
The telescope bag is made Of six
squares of cretonne with the centers
cut out from all but one. The squares
are sewed together around the edges
in pairs and each pair is trimmed at
the edge with a fril Of ribbon. The
squares are then sewed together
around the edges of the holes at the
center, the square having no hole be-
ing, Of course, at the bottom. The
edge Of the hole in the top square is
fastened to a wooden embroidery hoop
over which ribbon matching the frill-
ing has been shirred. Finally the
four corners of each square are
stitched across on lines extending
from point at the center of each
edge of the square. A long ribbon
handle is attached to the wooden rim
at the top of the bag. This bag may
be hattened down as the photograph
shows it, and when hung up by its
ribbon handle it is deep and capa-
cious.

FORMER BARTENDER
JAILED FOR SLASHING
SMITH WITH KNIFE

Riotous scenes marked the home
ward march of several groups of
DRINKS through Lexington and Linen
avenues at an early hour Sunday
morning.
Three of the victims of a race riot
appeared in the city court today to
testify against Varnio Stanzia1o, whom
they charged with welding knife
with disastrous results upon the face
Of Frank Smith of POT Jones avenue.
About midnight a half dozen young
men drinking beer from bottles they
had bought for Sunday use, disturbed
the neighborhood by hurting the bot
ties away as soon as they were drain
ed. The crash of glass brought a
crowd of Italian residents to the front
of saloon in Linen avenue, at Lex
ington avenue.
After the first noisy crowd had pass
ed along, Smith, with Peter Flynn of
322 Catherine street, and William
Jackson of S43 George street, came
along in an orderly manner. But the
group of excited residents gathered
before the saloon apparently thought
all were together, and one of them
Stanzialo, rushed out. His compan-
ions sought to restrain him, and
warned the trio to hurry out of his
reach. Two of them took to their
heels, but Smith fell victim to
Stanzialo. Smith fell into the street
and received several kicks in the face
and a stab wound across his nose He
presented a sorry spectacle when he
came to court today to identity the
prisoner, arrested by Patrolman Nc
Cullough.
Stanzialo denied using the knife
He was sentenced to Jail for three
months and fined 81 and costs. He
was formerly a bartender in a saloon
of the neighborhood where the row
occurred.

badly burned she Is expected to die.
The parents of the children left
them alone when they went to work
today. Some hours afterwards fire
was discovered il the kitchen and
neighbors tried to get the children out
but were driven back by the flames.
A fireman, Robert Boyle, when he
reached the scene, crawled in along
the floor and got Irene out He went
back for William but was cut off and
had to jump to the roof of an adjoin-
ing structure to save his own life.
In the other fires, tenementS and
apartment houses were endangered
but no one was hurt. One thousand
inmates of the Colonial Hotel and st.
Nicholas apartment house were driven
to the street in their night clothing
when the Metropolitan Tobacco Com
pany's warehouse and the Guardian
Storage Company's plant were de-
stroyed by fire with a loss of $3.50, 600.
Another fire was in a big loft building

Plan To Depose
New President
Of Venezuela
(special from United Press. }

(Speclal from On1teo PreSS.)
New York, May 8-Because of dis
satisfaction with the administration
Of Juan Vicente Gomez, as President
Of Venezuela, an expedition to depose
him and seize the government of that
country is to be financed in this city.
DR.. Alexandra Rivas VasQueZ, former
ly Governor of Zulia and later minis
ter Of public works under President
Castro, is arranging the details. He
denied emphatically today that the de-
posed President had any part in the
contemplated revolution, saying that
Castro desired to remain at Teneriffe.
'The -monopolies that Castro main
tanned are now run by Gomez for the
private benefit of the President and
his friends,'' said Vasquez today
There are now more of them than
ever and the country is being impov-
erished for a few individuals benefit
The Judiciary has been nullified and
free speech and a free press are denied
by Gomez"
According to Vasquez, the expedi-
tion to depose Gomez is now within
striking distance of Venezuela.
