NA--NT NEW HAVEN TO
 CONTROL RUTLAND R. R.
Over POO Residents of Vermont and
 New York Appear in Favor.

Albany. N. Y.. May 2-More than two hundred prominent residents of Vermont and northern New York ap- peored before the public service conn missions rc-opened hearing today to urge the granting of the application or the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company to acquire controlling interest in the Rutland Railroad by purchase from the New crk Central and Hudson River Rail- road Company The Vermont delega- tion was headed by Governor John !. Mead
 Petitions were petitioned from vil- lage boards, commercial bodies, labor organizations, shippers and citizens, containing several hundred signatures from score of cities and towns along the line of the Rutland Road in New York and Vermont, all favoring the granting tf the New Haven applica- tion.
 They ciaimed that control by the New Haven would mean an increase of traffic which would amount to $50,- 900. They explained this probable in- crF9sa by declaring that the New Haven was in a better position and it would be to it's advantage, more than to tke New York Centrars to give the Rutland Railroad a large volume o1 business traffic"
 Samuel Untedmayer of New York who said he represented 1000 shares of minority stock, opposed the applica- tion. He declared that notWithstand- ing the case now pending the New Haven company had actually made ar engagements to take control of the Rut- land Road and that though five months had elapsed since the former road had purchased one half of the majority etock of the latter from the New Yori; Central, it had done nothing to undo the act which he said was un- lawful.
 The commission reserved decision.

scarlet striped satin. The effect OF
this costume is startling even for
Ostend, and it takes much to startle

r. ACH bathing season brings
forth new ideas for costumes
- in which to honor old Nep-
tune. That old Sea God is RESPONSE
BILE for many sartorial marvels. At
Newport and Narraganett Pier. the
bathers wear costumes that are little
short of miraculous. One wonders
how their wearers dare brave the
water, the sun and public opinion
in them! These costumes are al
ways beautiful and Old Neptune
adores beauty.
With all their daring the New
porters and Pierites have never dis
carded the skirt. 1t may be much
abbreviated in length, skimped In
width, but it is skirt for a that.
In this these American resorts differ
from Ostend and other European
beaches. Ostend with all its daring,
and it is particularly daring this sea-
son, frequently affords striking con-
trasts during the bathing hours. In
the pictures given here the silk
trunk costume sans any suspicion
of a skirt is in direct contrast with

bright blue silk. But everything
and anything goes at Ostend.
The peasant costume has the bod
ice and skirt cut in one. In color it
is a rich brilliant French blue, sup
pie and waterproof The skirt is
ample in width and knee length.
The kimono sleeves, slashed and
bound with old rose braid, are
longer than is usual. The knicker-
bockers are tight fitting and cover
the knee. This is an ugly length,
but Ostend smiles approval, just be-
cause it is different The, ribbon
sash, tied on the left side with long
streamers, is old rose and all the
braid bands are of the same shade.
The silk hose and high heeled slip

as the blue bird
