Among the prettiest wings are those
that show two colors, one on the upper
and contrasting color on the under
side. That is, the wing Is lined
with small feathers in a contrasting
color. Most Of these two-toned wings
are large and used on long velvet tur-

Wide-b rimmed shapes with small

mick came to me with a story that
he got from butler in Banker Ro-
rays gambling house on Broadway,
and Teddy staked the butler who had
lost his money in the game. The in.
formation that Teddy got was that Ro.
chot carried a big bank roll in a safe
in his house, which was in 65th street,
near Madison avenue.
Il thought maybe it was ghost
story put up by the butler to give Ted
dy an idea that he was secure in his
loan. But it was worth investigation,
and I went to look the ground over
with Reddy Ward and Bill Hendrick.
THE house was a dead easy one to
beat, and I saw from the outside that
the safe was there. I learned that
Rochot was very heavy dealer In for
eign securities. There was also a bit
of a scandal connected with his meth
DDS Of doing business, which gave a
color to the story told by the butler.
l decided to work the game, and fixed
upon Saturday night for the trick,
which is the night that all honest folk
sleep the soundest.
1--WE entered the house through the
bathroom and reached the office,
which was in the rear Of the parlor, on
the first floor In the gang was Ted
dy Mccormick, Reddy Mack, Bill Hend-
rick, Abe Moses and Billy Reilly.
Mack and Reilly were to do the safe
work, Moses was left outside and Nc
Cormick, Hendrick and myself were
down to make tour through the
house to pick up anything that was
lying around loose. 1t would not do to
blow the safe, so the drag was used
to force out the back of the strong
box. This took about two hours.
I'VE got the stuff together, and start
ed to leave the house
"Suddenly, without the slightest
warning we were met by shower Of
lead. Everybody jumped for himself.
When we lined up on the outside
Reilly was missing. l concluded that
he had been shot We hauled a big
Doodle, but a million would not pay
for the loss Of Reilly"

CONTINUANCE
FOR RHAOERS

Lakota, N. D., Aug. 10.-F. A. Rha-
ders, president Of the defunct Peoples
State bank of Lakota, secured con-
tinuance Of his hearing till next Tues
day when arraigned at Lakota yes
terday afternoon. The arrangements
for the continuance were not complet-
ed till last evening, and under orders
entered, the action will come UP at
o'clock on the day for which the
case is set ...
In the meantime the defendant was
granted his freedom, putting up bonds
for $4,000. The state made a request
for a larger bond, but 1t was not
granted. ..... .a#
Plans for the defense that will be
raised by the convict-president have
not been completed yet, but 1t Is ex-
pected that Scott Rex of this city will
appear for him.
The return of Mr.. Rhaders to his
family in Lakota has been much diff
ferent from what he had hoped for
and looked forward to during at least
portion Of his stay behind the pri-
son bars. Rhaders, according Il
those who have knowledge of the
situation, is practically penniless
Previous to the time the bank went
to the wall, he had been i'll for some
time, and that fact was partially re-
sponsible for the very light sentence

How TO PREVENT
A CAR SHORTAGE

The Northwestern Traffic association
is sending out to the shippers all over
the northwest circulars giving sug-
gestions as to how they, the shippers,
cam assist the railroads in preventing
a car shortage during the coming fall
and great hauling period.
The suggestions are signed by Hon.
W. A. Garrett, chairman of the asso-
citation, and they should be read by
all who are interested. 1t is stated
that If they are closely observed there
need be no danger of q car shortage,
The three suggestions are as follows:
l. BY moving all the lumber, coal,
cement and other freight that they
can within the next few weeks, in
stead OF delaying and throwing 1t all
on the railways when they are stag
gering under the crop movement.
Frank T. Bentley, traffic manager of
the Illinois Steel Co.. and the Indiana
Steel Co., anticipating car shortage
this fall, recently issued an appeal and
warning to all patrons of these COM
panies to place their orders for ce-
ment and other commodities early.
Much might be gained if the traffic
managers Of all the large Industrial
concerns of the country would follow
Mr.. Bentley's example and their pa.
WOu4u dSI Tie duN1C6 ElNClAs
The commercial organizations of the
cities and towns can help greatly by
urging their members to move all
goods as early as possible.
Q. Shippers and consignees can
greatly help themselves, the railways
and all other shippers and consignees
by loading and unloading all cars de-
livered to them as expeditiously as
practicable. Every time the loading
or unloading of car is needlessly de-
layed the available supply Of cars is
needlessly reduced; and no shipper has
any right to complain that he is not
furnished enough cars If he is by his
own acts needlessly and wrongfully
reducing the available supply of cars.
Commercial organizations cannot rem
der better service to their members
than by urging on them the need for
prompt loading and unloading. Cars
are furnished for transportation, not
for storage and every one used for
storage reduces the number available
for transportation.
3. Shippers can help greatly by
loading all cars to as near their ca
paclty as practicable. The more
freight there is loaded in each car the
less cars will be required to move all
of the freight.
There has been q great deal of talk
in recent years about the need for bet
ter cooperation between railways and
shippers. Here is a matter regarding
which they can heartily and energet-
ically CO. operate to the very great gain
Of both.

New York, Aug. -Cloaking his
identity under assumed names. Police
Lieutenant Becker, now behind the
bars for the murder of the gambler,
Herman Rosenthal, is said by mem
bers of the states attorneys staff to
have deposited thousands Of dollars in
several savings banks, These deposits
were the proceeds, the public prose-
cutor believes, OF blackmail, and the
search for savings accounts is being
continued not only in this city, but in
Rochester where it is reported Becker
has an account under name not his
own.
Detectives of the district attorneys
office say that two accounts, one in
a savings bank in New York and an
other in Elizabeth, N. J.. belong to
Becker.
The total of all accounts said to be-
long to the police lieutenant amounts
to $4,000. Becker's salary as a police
man is $2,250 a year. Several savings
banks officers are under subpoena to
appear before the grand jury to tell
of these accounts.
The district attorney also has in
yestigated the bank accounts of two
police inspectors. The inspectors are
said to have on deposits sums Of
money deBFeBdIlug Audhy IuOuSdLuS u

curious to know how the inspectors
could have made so much money. Dis

he can learn OF modern military stunts,
but he expects to spend most Of his
time here, believing that in repub-

matte matters, he says. ..-
There was big time when Ian
arrived at San Francisco. Heading
the delegation that met him was a
band whose every instrument was
blown or beaten by a California
born Chinese.
The general proved a big success
as a yell leader. After brief
speech that made the eyes Of his
hearers dance, Ian suddenly called
for hip, hip hooray" in occidental
style, and the cheers those oriental
patriots turned loose made more noise
than the band, which was some band

Prospects Bright For
New Federal Building
For Fargo Very Soon
Hanna Has Succeeded in Getting Authorization For New Site
From the House Committee
Possible That Appropriation For New Building May Be Added
TO the Omnibus Bill

Der that several government officials
from Washington have stated unqual-
ihedly that Fargo should have a new
government building, because the one
In use here at the present time Is en-
tirely too small to meet the demands
upon it by the always growing busi-
ness Of the Fargo postoffice which Is
the distributing point in many in
stances for the entire state.
The matter was also taken up by
the commercial club and Congressman
Hanna was urged to do what he could
and the members Of the club win feel
very friendly to him at being able to
get the matter so far along at this
time.
Fargo is entitled to a new building,
because the revenue derived from the
local Office is very large and then, too,
the building is entirely too small,
housing as it does so many different
branches of the federal business.
