Park Commissioners
 Bring Expert Here Hope To Save Trees

President George M. Flames of the
 Park Board, in company with Prof.
 Townley, who is at the head of the
 forestry department at Yale univer-
 sity, made a tour of the parks in the
 city today to inspect the trees. Prof.
 Townley has been secured by the Park
 commissioners to see what can be
 done to kill off the many tree pests
 that are ravaging the beautiful trees
 of the parks to an alarming extent.
 He will remain in Bridgeport several
 days to make a thorough inspection
 and will report results at the next
 meeting of the Park Board. If he is
 successful in finding some means of
 destroying the tree pests campaign
 of education will be started in Bridge
 port to instruct the public in general
 how to rid the trees of the insects.
 Many property owners are in dispair
 over the ruin caused their trees. The public bathing houses at Sea- side park will be opened on Memorial
 day and the band concerts for which begin about the middle of June. The commissioners are now at work plan ming the schedule. A new baseball diamond will be established in the western end of Seaside park. The present diamond is in much demand and there is need of another diamond.
 The public playgrounds will be open ed June r.
 The idea of making an effort to have the finance committee of the Common council meet often enough each month to take advantage of the two and one-half per cent. discount granted on bills of the Park board, if paid within 15 days.
 | Repairs on the different properties in the parks will be started at once. Peter White has asked for an inven- tory of the park property.

Denies Richeosn
 Was An Elder In 3 Mormon Church
Attorney Morse Stamps as Lies Charges of Mrs. Brittan Con- cerning Condemned Minister

Boston, May S-"Ridiculous absurd, brazen lies'' were the characteriza- tions, today. put on the charge of Mrs. Louise F. Britain, once Queen Mother" in the Mormon Church, that Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson was an elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of the latter day saints, by Attorney condemned minister who murdered Avis Linnell.
 .T have an idea why Mrs. Britain has made the charge in the form of Ia sworn affidavit that Richeson was sa Mormon" said Attorney Morse. .sHundreds of women-and surpris- ing lot of them are women of caste and refinement-have written me let ters giving all manner of reasons why they ought to be permitted to talk with Richeson. It has been worse than "a mania with some who have written sion to talk with my client I have not the slightest doubt but that the affidavit will be followed by a re- quest that the writer be allowed to see Richeson SO she will be certain he Is the one she thinks she recognized as a Mormon elder"
 The affidavit of Mrs. Britain which called forth this denunciation today from Attorney Morse, however. bears avery earmark of being authentic. The writing and making public of the doc ument which goes into detail to prove Mrs Brittain's assertion that Richeson ssgave her, the secret Mormon signs was suggested by prominent members of the Evangelic Alliance, one of the strongest protestant organizations in New England It was to these mem- bers that Mrs. Britain first told her story. Mrs. Britain, according to her story. was once in the higher circles ns fine church. as the celestial wife, of Ben B. Rich, head of the Eastern Mormon organization.

FASHIONS AND FADS

The side frill is no longer fash
ionable. The double frills for coats
and for waists are seen everywhere
Il is certain that the return of
pleated skirts means that checks will
be a favored novelty Stripes will
also be featured Wide stripes in
skirts will be worn with jackets in
plain colors.
Handkerchief points in polka dot
pattern make a very pretty trimming
for a white wash blouse. The hand
kerchief points should form the sailor
collar and revers and appear again
on the sleeves.
Neckwear will, be a very import
ant item of dress this fall The new
directoire coats absolutely demand
good neckwear. The stock with cas-
cade jabot is shown among the new
models for fall
Some of the early fall dresses and
waists have a round-neck finish. The
most popular low cut is about one
inch below the collar line. For
yokes with high collars. Brussels net
is in high favor
A dress cut in Norfolk style is al
ways in good taste for out-of-door
wear, whether it be on the deck of
a steamship or yacht, the tennis court,
the golf links or for any other form
of outdoor exercise.
No one seems desirous, so far, of
returning to dresses made around the
hem, either for evening or day wear.
For dances, the skirts will be of
graceful length; other evening gowns
will hayp narroW trains

A feature of the new frocks is the
use OF sashes with short ends hang
ing down the side of the back. These
sashes arc mostly of the material

For evening, the hair is dressed
fiat and close TO the head, and a large
aigrette or beaded band with droop-
ing ornaments is worn, or an arrange
ment of gauze that looks like a tur-
ban and trimmed with District plumes.
The glowing rosy pink. which must
be worn with discretion. but which
is most chic. is loveliest in taffeta.
If you cannot wear a solid dress Of
this gay color, you can have a belt
or bow or a parasol, or perhaps a
hat
The top coat is a fashion neces-
sity this summer. The young girl
going away may prefer the striped
blazer. the older women can choose
from many styles, but white is the
best choice. as it does not conflict
