Street Dress Blamed
For MASKING.

The clinging, short skirts, the low,
cut waists and extremely short sleeves
are to be condemned in the opinion of
the commission.
While some of the members of the
commission are at a loss to know what
to do about it, because, they say, con-
spiCuous attire is so general among
women, others believe that formal re-
port calling attention to the danger will
start movement toward more Puri-
tanical modes of attire.
The dress Of the women is blamed
for much Of the freshness" of men.
According to press dispatches. a ma
ton war against the present tight
skirts and peek a-boo waists has been
begun. And nowhere has defender
arisen to declare that Women's scant
attire was due to excessive heat.
Mrs. LeonOra NJ. Lake, of St. Louis,
IN a chautauqua lecture at Columbus
Ind, last week, declared that woman is
suffering from "f$ ,ionius." She said
that ballet dance and acrobats are
more becomingly ressed and that the
present tight skirts give men reason to
make vulgar remarks.

Corroborates Story
Of Jack Rose.

Il have secured all the corrobora ton
expected. This is enough to clear up
several vital points and strengthen the
case"
Asked if schepps corroborated Bald
jack Roses confession. Mr. Whitman
said
Yes, Schepps confirmed it, so far as
l have gone with him, He corroborated
the statement that he had gone to
Harry PoIlock's home (where Rose was
hidden Immediately following the
shooting) for Lieutenant Becker. He
would not admit that he paid the muir
derers for killing Rosenthal He de-
clared that he was not at the scene of
the murder He did say, though, that
he had ridden in the murder automo-
bile used by the assassins to escape
earlier in the evening He told me he
went to Pollocks home with Rose to
see Becker. Further than that | did not
question him. Schepps is talker and
loves to tell stories, SO I've got to sep
arate the wheat from the chaff."

Men Go Under Water and Unlock
Strong Box In the Wrecked
Liner Oceana.

London.-A notable feat was accom-
lpIished by the divers at work on the
liner Oceana, which sank OF East
bourne, after a collision. There was
specie amounting to over S3,75O,OOO
in the strong room, and naturally the
chief aim of the divers was to secure
this at the earliest possible moment.
Two divers went down and remained
below the surface for about an hour.
They found that the steamer, which
carried away two Of the masts last
week, also caused considerable dam
age aft to the tunnels and other parts
of the liner.
An enormous quantity Of wreckage
from the masts, davits and deckhouse
had crashed down on the deck. Never
theless, one OF the divers at work in
the forepart of the vessel managed to
reach the captains cabin. There he
recovered the keys Of the bullion

Proves His Innocence.

Greeley, Col.-Like a chapter from
4 Jack London novel, filled with love,
adventure and finally wealth; sent
upon a six thousand-mile trip without
a cent and forced to make his way as
best he could as the result OF q sweet
hearts quarrel; even spending time
behind the bars, in one instance In
Weld county where he was held as
a suspect In the $4,000 post Office rob-
berry which occurred here some
months ago-this in brief covers a
year which proved the most exciting
IN the life of George Won Schulz
Sturm. Sheriff s. J. McAfee, who ar
rested Sturm here. has received n
draft payable on New York bank for
a Greeley man who befriended Sturm
while the latter was In the Weld
county jail and FASTENED, by this
means, the day upon which Sturm
came to his own.
Sturm was arrested here several
months ago, few weeks after the To-
cal post Office had been robbed OF
$4,000 worth of stamps. He was sus'
pected of being one OF the trio be-
lieved to have turned the trick.
Sturm only laughed at the charges.
and said 1t could easily be proved
that he was not the man. When he
was instructed to 60 out In the Jail
yard and have his picture taken. in
stead OF demurring as does the usual
crook, he only laughed and readily
consented. The camera caught him
with the usual smile on his face.
At that time he gave the name Of
Harry Brown. at the same time ad-
hitting that it was only an assumed
one.

ceived was a brief note:

sum the Greeley man loaned him.
The story he told the sheriff was
this:
That he is the only son OF well-to-

he had a quarrel with his sweetheart
in San Francisco; that she told him
he was worthless and II dependent
upon his own resources and brains
