CONTROVERSY OVER
TAFT'S SE.CRE ETARY
President and Hilles Both
Reported as Denying Lat
ter Is Selected.

A very curious misunderstanding
seems TO prevail at the White House
and elsewhere as to the successor 10
Charles d. Norton as Executive Sec
retary.
Persons who today talked with the
President himself said positively that
Mr.. Taft had told them that he had
not chosen a successor to Mr.. Norton,
that he did not know whom he would
appoint, and that any suggestion that
the man was to be Assistant Secretary
Hilles of the Treasury was a mistake.
Other persons, who talked to Mr..
HiIIes, said the same thing. They said
that the Assistant Secretary would re-
tire from official life to devote himself
to private business and that he would
not, after he leaves the Treasury, be
connected longer with the Government
at Washington.
Contrary to all this has come the an
nouncement that Mr.. Hillcs was absO-
lutely the man. Those responsible for
this report declare that they know what
they are talking about and are willing
to bet money on IT.
That is the situation. One-half of the
people who are supposed to know say
one thing and the other half say exact
ly the reverse.

Poke BONNET AGAIN
COMES INTO VOGUE
Elaborately Trimmed Models
Shown at PalaiS Royal
Opening.

The hObbIe skirt is a back number.
Even the harem skirt is a subject of
secondary interest and Importance. The
latest freak, the very newest innovation
devised for the happiness of womankind
is-just the oId-fashioned Quaker poke
bonnet
But what a poke, As seen today in
all its glory at the PaIals Royal open
ing it would be sure to bring upon Itself
the condemnation Of the Quaker soul,
and would be looked upon with cOvetous
eyes by the worldly-minded. For in its
hcriboned and beflowered frtvolity it is
as far from the Quaker bonnet of our
grandmOthers day as a nightcap is
from one of the bcwtching theater
hoods of the present time.
Only in the severity and quaintness
Of its shape does this new and wonder
fun piece of hcadgoar resemble the
Quaker bonnet. And this shape is
heaped with flowers, lace, and bows of
ribbon. One model shown at the Palais
Royal opening today has the top of its
crown completely covered with pink
rOsebuds, and its stiff brim softened by
plated covering of pearl gray maIine.
Harem Skirt Display.
Large picture hats heaped With
flowers of every hue, and medfum-sized
toQues piled high with roses, hydran-
Geas, or other effective flowers, are
among the models attracting the atten-
ton of throngs who are visiting the

fashion has decreed for spring wear for
women.
Wonderful Egyptian embroideries,
pearl and beaded effects. and a pro-
fusion Of rare laCeS are seen on the
smartcst models.

Great store, interest Centers in a gener-
GUS shipment OF harem skirts, which
will shortly be placed on display for the
benefit of a curious public. They are
made Of finest serges. etamines, and
haircloths, summer weight, and when
shown on models or held up to the Gus
toner for inspection resemble the con-
Nentional full skirt in vogue at present.
These harem skirts consist of four
loCcS-trouSerS and a front and back
Panel hanging loose from belt to hem.
In coats, the JaunueSt and most be-
WUChinE models are shown, only tWen-
ly-lour inches in length, and with
girliSh sailor collar effects. one of the
%maTtest Of the entire number on dis
play at the Palais Royal is a Combina-
iiun suit of serge and satin in black
and white. The skirt of white serge,
showing a black pin stripe, has a hem
wide border of black satin. The coat

He raised the window, saying that

scar across her cheek. She wouldn't
tell me her name"
The above complaint was registered
at police headquarters this morning
by Baldwin Harris, a prosperous far
mer OF Beaver Dam, Hanover county.
His watch was taken last night he
said, while he was walking up Broad
Street. His experience was one which
will probably be duplicated many
times this week, and realizing condi-
tons the police have issued a special
warning to ali farmers and out-of-
town people to repulse all such adj
vances and to be particularly careful
to keep their money and watches in
their inside pockets.

come back. and I could not catch her.
The watch is very valuable. On the
chain there is three-dollar gold

Mr.. Harris also gave the police the
number OF his watch, and It is prob
able that the woman will be in the
First Police Station before night. for.
by the scar the police know who she
is, and several detectives are already
sleuthing around In the lower part OF
the city looking for her.

experimentally, and then said:
Il wonder If there is any objection

does the new law bar it?"

der the direction Of John Harrington,
will be asked TO make detailed inquiry.
Whenever juror is finally accepted.
his life history and the biography of
many OF his relatives will be known
10 the state and to the defense.
Judge Bordwell will be sole Judge OF
the cause for ordinary challenge.
Should the defense deem the mem
bership of a certain talesman in a
commercial organization sufficient
ground for challenge, the court will
pass upon this reason. Should he
hold that such was not sufficient for
such dismissal, the only way the de-
tense could eliminate the prospective
juror would be by exercising q
peremptory challenge. The prosecu-
ton may exercise a similar right.
The further examination of Tales
man Nelson, which was started Tues
day by the defense, will be continued
Friday.
1t is probable Mr.. Nelson will be
excused for cause.
