WHAT, AFTER ALL, IS
COLOR without the cunning of
the hand that paints?
What, after all, is Fabric,
without the skill of the hands
that fashion it into shape?
As it has taken one Of England's
famous painters forty years to get the
natural coloring OF the plum from the
chaos Of color, SO it has taken us
years of persistent study and effort
to portray the Fashion scene as we
exhibit it today.
Upon the spring landscape, rich,
deep and light grays, in diagonals and
stripes plain or with a bit of color;
Night homespuns with little daubs OF
black or brown here and there, or
sprinkled with golden threads; blues
some with suggestion of red or
gold; Scotch mixtures Of green, red
and brown
Nowhere is variety so apparent,
both in domestic and imported fab
RIGS.
Nowhere is distinctive tailoring SO
merged with individuality of fabric on
the Palette of Style-the composite
result can only be a creation Of a

TO

OF MEDIATION
MAKE DEFINITE ANSWER
TO PROPOSITION TO-DAY
Commissioners Neill and Knapp
Preparing to Begin the
Conferences.
Believed That Danger of En-
gineers' Strike Is Now Very
Remote.

NEW YORK. April 23.-Mediation
or the difference between the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and the
eastern railways, which have threat
ened a strike on fifty lines east OF
Chicago and North of the Patomac, Is
expected to result from the action OF
the conference committee of railway

With Charles p. Neill. United States
labor commissioner and Judge Martin
J. Knapp, OF the United States COM
rnerce court regarding the dispute.
While the answer OF the railroads
TO the letter of Messrs. Neill and
Knapp did not definitely accept medi-
alton, the opinion was expressed by
the engineers that in the end this
would be the result. Commissioner
Neill In an interview given after he
had received the railroads answer.
also Indicated that he considered that
mediation was intended. Tonight in
all quarters the opinion was expressed
that the possibility of a strike, which
yesterday appeared imminent, is in
creasingly remote.
On series of conferences begin
ming tomorrow probably will depend
either the definite settlement of the
!; dispute or the arrangement of a plan
OF arbitration. Mr.. Neill announced
to-day that he will confer with the
railroad managers tomorrow morn
ing. and, IL possible, will meet the en-
gineers later in the day.
Judge Knapp Coming.
Judge Knapp. according to word re-
ceived from Washington tonight, will
leave that city tomorrow to take part
In the negotiations here.
The decision Of the railway mana
gers to confer with Messrs. Knapp
and Neill was reached after a confer
ence lasting practically all day. The
presidents OF several OF the railways
LinEolyed- -xsrs also oin-conference here
to-day. and II Is understood that they
approved OF the letter sent to the gov
eminent representatives. The letter
OF the railways follows:
"Gentleman-Your letter of ApriI
22d has been received, in which you
advise that negotiations between the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the conference committee of the
managers Of the Eastern railways
have been definitely broken on, and
that grave situation has arisen
which threatens most serious conse-
. .quences to the public. In the emer-
gency you are impelled by the sense
OF DUTY to tender your friendly Of.
hces to the contending parties in the
hope that some means may be found
to adjust the matters In dispute with
out the calamity OF a general strike.
Thoroughly appreciating the value
OF your good offices, and in the hope
that some means OF reaching a settle
ment can be devised that will snare

tions. the third term candidate has in
all probability secured control OF the
First congressional district OF West
Virginia Taft lost the county by q
majority OF 342 votes. but in prac-
tically all the districts with the ex-
ception OF Triade!phia. the two candi-
dates ran closely. Washington Is dis
puted. but on the face OF the returns,
Roosevelt carried II by four majority.
However. in two instances Il Is claim
ed by the Taft supporters. their candi-
dates ran ahead. There was much
scratching OF the ballot in this district
and the exact figures will not be dis
closed until the committee canvasses
the returns on Thursday.
Taft carried Center. Richland and
Clay districts while the others went to
the Roosevelt column. The Taft sup
porters lost Webster by a majority OF
IA. The vote was heavy and the rival
ry between the supporters of the two
candidates was very friendly. There
were no disorders at the polls. The
spirit OF harmony that has waited over
this section since the big harmony
dinner is still in evidence. which spells
victory at the polls at the coming cleo
ton.
Much Interest Manifested.
Much interest was manifested In the
primary not only In this county, but
throughout the state. The returns
were received at the ONCE Of Clerk

the total vote. not counting the
scratches on the Roosevelt ballot,
which will not be disclosed until the

SANK TITANIC
TESTIFY OFFICERS
AT SENATE INQUIRY.
Officials of Line Refused to Pro-
vide Lookout With Binocu-
lar Glasses.
Had Men Been Suitably Equipped,
Iceberg Could Have Been
Seen in Time.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Like the
missing horseshoe nail that cost a
monarch his kingdom, the failure to
provide binoculars OF spyglasses for
the lookouts on the Titanic, was one
contributing cause OF that ships loss.
and, with IL, the loss OF more than
| 1 800 lives.
Two witnesses before the senate in
vestigating committee to day agreed
on this. They were Frederick Fleet,
lookout on the liner. and Major
Arthur Godfrey Peuchen, Canadian
manufacturer and yachtsman, who was
among the rescued passengers.
Fleet acknowledged that ~ he had
been aided in his observations by a
good glass he probably could have
spied the berg into which the ship
crashed in time to have warned the
bridge TO avoid It. Major Peuchen
also testified to the much greater
sweep OF vision afforded by binoculars
and. as q yachtsman, said he believed
the presence of the iceberg might have
been detected in time to escape the
collision had the lookout men been
SO equipped.
Refused Glasses.
- vas mauc W appear lndl lne
blame for being without glasses did
not rest with the lookout men. Fleet
said they had asked for them at South
ampton, and were told there were none
Tor them. One glass. in a pinch, would
have served in the crowsnest.
Major Peuchen criticised in strong
terms the lack OF experienced sailors
on board the Titanic He said that
when the call to quarters was sound
ed not enough of the crew responded
to undertake the work required in
lowering and filling the boats. Fur
thermore. he said. no drills had been
held from the time the ship left
Southampton. although II was Gus
tomary to hold such drills every Sun.
day.
Herbert J. Pitman. third oficer OF
the Titanic. told of his failure to turn
back the lifeboat in which he and his
passengers were idly drifting. to at
tempt the rescue of others when the
Titanic went down.
One Long Moan.
Shuddering at the recollection. he
said the cries for help made "one
long. continuous moan" The passen-

Powder Box OF EurOpe

Edwin Markham in Los Angeles Ex-
aminer: In "The Tanned Turk" book
Of mingled travel and history. Blair
jacket discusses a land now in the
eye Of the world He opens thus:
Because Of their pivotal positions,
politically and geographically; because
Of their vast proved and hidden re-
sources; because Of their divers other
advantages, too numerous to mention,
the Balkan states have been, are, and
will continue to be the powder box
of Europe
THE Greeks, and after them the
Romans, came, saw and conquered.
The Venetians, for a time, swept all
before them along the coast of the
Adriatic. For 500 years the Turks,
thirsting for the blood of the Chris
tians, have attacked, have been re-
pulsed and have attacked again, shock
ing the entire world with their afro
cious massacres.
One need not hunger for history in
travelling through the Balkans. Its
people are primitive their customs are
curious and their methods medieval
They are backward and unsophisticated
in everything but war-and that word
war has been the slogan in the near
East for centuries.
Constant conflict has stunted their
progress, and it has been only within
the past few years that these lands
(conspicuously lacking in the arts of
peace, but overcrowded with types and
rcplete with wonderful scenery their
histories stated with war and romance,
have begun to be disclosed to the trav-
cling world.
"Only within the past few years their
outlying districts have been connecte ed
vim their business centers by tele-
graphic communications; only within
the past few years railroads have been
constructed, steamship lines inaugural
"a and hotel accommodations perfected
Yesterday their peoples were al
most barbarfc; today they are more
highly civilized and more finely cu!-
tured than perhaps we are inclined to
admit; tomorrow they may be famous.
They have been makers Of history for
our forebears and us: they will be
makers Of history for posterity and its
children

The mutual water companies in this
valley felt the effect OF the Thayer
decision in the attempt Of their stock
holders to get rid Of their stock under
livery from the California Developm ent
Company without stock; more than 200
stockholders of No. l allowed stock to
be sold for assessments during the
past two years, influenced by no 9TH
er cause than the so-called Thayer de-
cision.
This valley and county has reached
its present stage and looks forward to
doubling and trebling its populati On
and values within the next five years
upon the water conditions brought
about by the organization of the Cali
fornia Development Company and the
mutual water companies Of the valley.
