LIBERTY OFFERED
SMALL GRAF TIERS

NEW YORK, Dec. ga chance for
immunity was today granted policemen
and civilians who acted as collectors
for the graft under the police system"
from the $4,000 women of the under
world. upon the condition that they
would confess and implicate the men
higher up in the police department.
District Attorney Whitman who has
made this offer of freedom to the
small fry" grafters, feels that they
were merely tools for the captains. in
spectors and acted under their orders.
and Whitman wants to secure the infor-
nation against the men who have been
the brains of the grafters in taking
money from keepers of disorderly re-
sorts.
This action on the part of the dis
trict attorney created a panic among
the higher officers of the police depart
ment, and there were wild rumors that
some of the guilty officials, rather than
face the court, would flee from the city
and become fugitives
Added cause for alarm came today
when it was learned that Charles De-
vauiere and David Maier held for the
grand jury ON the charge of attempting
to bride a janitor not to testify in sup
port of the revelations of Mrs. Mary
Goodc, would most likely accept the
offer of immunity by testifying as to
their knowledge of the System"

Years ago the politicians began to set
UP claim to a second term as an
. Endorsement and the off1ceholder who
failed to get it has looked upon the

This idea had more to 90 than any

the constitutional inhibition against
third consecutive term in the governor

corded a second term, almost without

rule applies in all other offices-as it
does, indeed, so far as Georgia is con-
cerned, to national representatives and
senator's.

The fact that national banks are not

use. For a little later wear turbans
of maline with little wired outstanding
sprays of flowers will be good. A de-
lectable affair of pale pink maline had
sort of cockade at one side of pink
rosebuds and vioIets.
The Tam O'Shanter crown hat will
take on new lease of life and in taft
feta or any of the fine straws may be
expected to perch itself rakishly on
many pretty head. Classically known
as the Rembrandt, this style of hat is
particularly adapted to the use of the
taffeta silks, in plain and changeable
effects. A model that promises to be
very popular has the rolling brim of
changeable taffeta, as well as the full
draped crown which falls over it. The
outstanding Numidian feathers of the
same shade as the silk give good style

to It Very attractive is this Rem
brandt type when carried out in straw,
with the entire top of the big, nat
crown made of small flowers.
The medium sized hats, with their
rolling or turned-up brims and, for the
most part, fiat, wide crowns, may be
simply trimmed with wings or quilts
or draped smartly with the new silks
or ribbons. The stiff little tailored
bows seen on so many Of the winter
felts have been elaborated into vari-
Gus odd rosettes and cockades formed
Of contrasting colors in satin or taf-
feta ribbons, with sometimes a touch
of velvet ribbon introduced. A modish
blue straw which was faced with blue
velvet had for its trimming an orna-
ment of narrow plated ribbon, in scar
let, blue and black, which was shaped
somewhat like the feathered pieces
that were so well liked, and placed on

lace hat, and FOR evening wear the
gold or silver Chantilly is attractive
with plume or aigrette trimming. One
OF the prettiest of these becoming hats
was made from the real Princess lace,
and its sole trimming consisted of a
spray OF exquisite water lilies laid
across the crown.
The leghorn hat, flower trimmed, is
always a good choice for the youthful
face. Many of these are being com
pletely yelled with net or maline, which
gives them an indescribably soft, filmy
appearance. Green dotted net was
used to veil one OF the large shapes,
and sheath of green velvet and black
velvet dahlias formed the trimming.
Huge bows OF maline trim many Of
the dressier hats, some OF them even
having the entire crown Of shirred
maine. Imagine how pretty a big
droopy leghorn was with a facing of

gundy red straw and velvet, for In
stance, was trimmed with a large
spray Of dark purple vtolets, to one
side, in the center of which nestle three
red velvet roses. Black and white will
hold its own, and although the darker
shades of blue and purple and red will
prevail, a few dashing models are
shown in scarlet and emerald green.
A three-cornered shape-the tricorne is
especially modish just now-of white
tagal braid was faced with emerald
green taffeta and trimmed with taffeta
wired to simulate mercury wings, with
a touch OF black velvet at the base Of
each.
The more elaborate headgear is
largely of the broad-brimmed, pictur-
esque variety. The lace hat promises
to be a prominent feature Of midsum-
mer millinery. Chantilly and maline

Although the low, fat crowns have

sees these frequently now, but more
often the larger flowers made from
chiffon or silk. Dainty enough for the
trousseau of a bride was one hat
trimmed with dahlias cleverly con-
trived in white chiffon, with the leaves
made Of wired satin, yelled with the
chiffon. The hat itself was a leghorn
over which the white chiffon had been
shirred, and the whole effect was
charmingly youthful and simple.

obliged to search far ant
wide for suitable headgear, becaus,
al the hats were fiat and squatty OIL
else al the hats were steep and tower
ing. Though our gowns and suits mus
bear a modish family resemblance
still, the latitude permitted to us in
millinery this season is comforting and
shoe-saving
There are just two predominating
characteristics of the spring hats-a
crown size large enough to allow the
hat to rest well down on the head,
and the upward tilt of the brimmed
ahapes, which may have dashing dents
to the side or back, or show the brim
only gently rolled at the edge. For
wear with the spring suit or even with
the dressier costume, the small or the
medium sized hat will undoubtedly be
preferred, although later on the lin
gerie gowns will bring out the pic
turesqua large hats which are always
in good taste for dressy occasions.
The woman who is loath to give
up the snug little bonnet shapes she
found SO becoming during the winter,
will be delighted with the spring mod
els which retain the close lines, but
are developed in suitable materials. A
distinct novelty is the small straw or
taffeta hat made up quite without any
wiring. The advantages of a hat of
this sort, when travelling, are obvious
One pretty model had the crown and
upper rim made from dark blue, finely
woven hemp, while the under part OF
the brim was of more coarsely woven
ly across the front, and the only trim
ming was several red velvet roses
which had been arranged on a wire to
form sort of aigrette that tilted
Flowers are used in this manner to a
great extent, by the way, to simulate
aigrettes, and quilts thus giving
heighth to the trimming. While the
larger flowers appear to be more pop
ular, the small flowers are often COM
bined with them in most effective
ways. A fairly large black chip hat
had as its sole trimming a wide quill
like ornament made of dull pink roses
edged with lilies-of-the-valley. This
curved over the crown from front to
back with graceful sweep.
