TEA COSY OF NOVEL SHAPE

FAD THAT IS USEFUL
Two ROCicES FOR ONE GOWN is
PRESENT EDiCT.
Women With Limited Means Find
Latest Style Great Convenience
Silk Tie Waist Now ReaPpears
for Spring.

Two bodices for one smart gown
this is the present edict. They belong
to the rather elegant street suit. or to
the fine reception dress-one waist
with high cut for day wear and the
other slightly or definitely low for
evening. In this way one coat and
skirt do service for .unnumbered occs-
sious, and the fad is certainly useful
one for women with limited means.
There is the most cunning sequence,
too, between the day waist and the
rest OF the costume, for the one-piece
effect is supreme and the bodice and
skirt OF the same goods and which
seems to be in one, reigns for day wear
over separate waist arrangements.
Cloth, silk and novelty woods OF all
sorts are made up with narrow skirts
and taut little bodices joined under a
high wa1stband SO as to look in one;
the practically of the bodice is light
ened with a dainty guimpe in tilmy
white or color, and however plain the
rest OF the suit, the waist has GER
tain FITNESS. In this shape the cos.
tune Is really three-piece affair, but
when the second waist Is considered it
becomes one Of four pieces. A get-up

waist, which Is to be for the theater,

and with scarcely more than collar

Our illustration gives one OF the sea
sons oddities. although the student Of
fashion knows that the tie kink OF this
waist comes down TO us from many
years ago. Some twenty years since,
French makers sent over a few plaid
silk blouses which were adjusted to
the figure in just this manner by carry
ing the fronts to the back and then
bringing the ends around to the front
and there tying or hooking them. The
model went like hot cakes then and it
has had tremendous vogue this win

upon the style because so little fitting
is needed. The extremely low cut OF
the armhole is late and popular
touch, and as plaid silk always looks
we'll in such a waist or jumper these
materials are much used for them
when the figure is slim enough to
carry off the checking. Sometimes,
too, there are neither revers or cuffs
as here, but puff finish about the
neck and sleeves, with the bias ends
OF the fronts and the bottom only
hemmed. In this last shape the max
ing of such waist is a joke, and any
woman with the least sewing talent
can turn out one in two or three

British Board Finds
Loss Of Titanic Due
to Excessive Speed

LONDON, July 30.-The Judgment OF
the British Board of Trade court of in
quiry into the disaster to the White Star
liner Titanic, which sank In midocean
with 1,617 souls after collision with an
iceberg on April IA, was pronounced today
by Lord Mersey, the presiding Judge,
before large audience.
The court finds that the collision with
the iceberg was due to excessive speed
at which the Titanic was nayigated. !.
that a proper watch was not kept: that
the ships boats were properly lowered.
but that arrangements for manning them
were insufficient; that the Leyland liner
California might have reached the Titanic
If 1t had attempted to do so; that the
track followed was reasonably safe with
proper vigilance, and that there was no
discrimination against third-class pas.

The court Of inquiry exonerates J.
Bruce Ismay. chairman and managing
director Of the White Star line and Sir
Cosmo Duff-Gordon. one Of the passeu.
gers. from any charges Of improper con-
duct.
The judgment recommends more water.

Lord Mersey's judgment is a formal

ALDRICH RULING THE LIMIT
Governor In Chair Ignores Taft Men
and Refuses to Entertain Appeal
from Hia Arbitrary De-
cision.
ALDRICH RULING THE LIMIT
BY VICTOR RosEwATER.

LINCOLN, July 0.--tspecial Telegram.) }
Two conventions held simultaneous
sessions under the republican call here
today. This split was the elimination
of protracted and earnest effort to
reach an agreement whereby the presi-
Dental ticket could be safeguarded with
out detriment to the state and local can
didates. The split was brought about
by peremptory notice by the anti-Taft
men that all negotiations for compromise
were at an end, although recess of
three hours had been taken at their re-
quest for the purpose. 1t was precipi-
tated by the arbitrary refusal of Gov
ernor Aldrich as temporary chairman to
entertain a proper motion to instruct the
credentials committee that no delegate be
entitled to sit in the convention who does
not support the republican national
standard bearers and his still more ar
bitrary and unprecedented refusal to per-
init an appeal from this decision.
Regulars March Out.
At this manifestation of unfairness,
previously accentuated by cut and dried
pewritten-in-advance and spiked COM
mittee appointments, the regular repub-
licans gave notice of parted company,
and headed by the Douglas delegation
filed out Of the Auditorium and repaired
to the large hall in the Lincoln hotel.
The column Of delegates marching down
the street flying q. Taft banner extended
for over two blocks and jammed the
room that has a capacity for about 500
The two conventions then proceeded
separately to organize and to transact
business, adopt platforms and constitute
a state committee.
Aldrich Sees Mistake.
That Governor Aldrich made sorry
mistake In assuming to preside over a
sure to provide sharp diff
ferences is generally admitted. But he
had cast himself for this part of the
program and gritted his teeth to carry
out bis printed instructions, regardless
of the rights Of the delegates. What the
regulars had demanded was merely that
a set Of Taft electors be permitted on
the ticket labeled republican, and that
It be supported by state committee that
would make the campaign for all the
republican candidates. The next step
will probably be test of the right of
the respective claimants to the repub-
lican name.

MADISON, Wis, July S0.-Speakers
ference today turned their attention to
the question. rs the newspaper reading

side influence and avoiding distortion
Of truth were presented.
Livy S, Richard, editor Of the Boston

Of the present insurrection against the

pulse toward freedom" He cited instances
which he said showed that some news.
papers had been influenced by outside
control and had not printed all the news.
In conclusion he advocated public
newspaper.
Il believe we shall never get through

William H. Ellis. editor Of the Search

audience that newspaper readers are
not getting all the truth they are en-
titled to. Mr.. Ellis criticised what hs
called the editorial custom 81 'skillfulIy
stating facts and telling the truth when

illuminating and therefore more truthful
Interpretation"
You've got to make story or the
people won't read It," he said. but de-
clared that papers which fill their
pages with entertainment features fall
into the habit Of overstating the case
and their news value inevitably drops in
the public mind. s
Turning to the head line artist as
twister of the truth, Mr. Ellis found
more ground for criticism. Newspaper
