Zig-ZaR cotton suiting is the der

obtainable at most OF the white sales
now. 1t is woven from threads of
graduating size. alternating thick and
thin, and in the weaving, the threads
are pulled in the loom to give a wavy
or zig-zag effect to the material. A
tailored suit, made OF this zigzag
stuff in pale tan shade, is included
an rousseau which will travel south
very shortly. The suit is piped with
corded lines OF black satin and is
matched by blouse of allover ecru

does she welcome the return of the
season when white footwear may be
worn constantly Never does she

OF summary character have fiounces
of one sort or another-and just here
IS very particular point: flounces
are distinctly OF one sort or another,
and the only sort OF tlounce that is
not seen is the oid-fashioned gath
cred fiounce. Three times the width
of the skirt used to be the correct
measurement for a founce. but the
1913 hounce knows no such bout
fancy. 1t is applied perfectly fiat,
and il it is the least bit fuller than
the skirt, the fulness is introduced
warily by means of pintucks or shall

Some of the flounces curve upward
and wind around the skirt, and it is
marvellous, indeed, how the couturiers
seem able to evolve these winding
founces out of straight lengths of
machine embroidery. One Riviera
frock, for instance. has six hounoes
OF Colbert embroidery mounted over
net. reaching from the edge of the
skirt to the waistline, each founce
curving up toward the front where
there is panel OF wide Colbert band
ing from belt to hem.
AN EXTRAORDINAR EMBROI-

The new note everywhere seems to
be embroidery. Paris has evidently
smiled on this kind of trimming, for

Ex-Governor Dies Alone

Los Angeles Times: Unattended by
relatives or friends and penniless, ac-
cording to persons who knew him well.
ex-Gov. ]. j. Gosper Of Arizona died
yesterday afternoon at the county hos
pital. During the three days the for
mer executive and once wealthy mining
operator was at the institution he re-
ce'ved no visitors.
Gosper had lived in Los Angeles al
most a quarter of century and had
many friends and close acquaintance
here. He was prominent member Of
Bartlett-Logan post, G. A. r. 1t ap-
pears that pride deferred him from
communicating with his friends while
at the county hospital. Undoubtedly
ample assistance would have been
forthcoming from friends had his wants
been known. The fact that he went to
The county institution instead Of one Of
the private hospitals is taken by his
acquaintance to indicate that he was
without funds.
Several years ago GOsper was re-
puted to be worth 100000. He had
carried on extensive mining and real
estate operations. His Offices were in
the Homer Laughlin building.
Gosper was governor OF the terri
tory Of Arizona thirty years ago. He
founded the Daily Herald, the first
newspaper established in Phoenix, and
the third in the territory, in 1878.
S. w. Kelsey, commander Of Bartlett
Logan post, OF No. 308 Loreto street,
is making an effort to locate some OF
GOsper's relatives. Gosper was men,

Fear Pact on Tariff

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The ap-
prehension Of Democratic leaders be-
cause Of Senator Newland's statement
that he might follow his own judgment
on tariff revision matters was somewhat
abated. Although Mr.. Newlands mas
not promised to attend the caucus
which will bind all members of the ma
jority to support the Underwood meas~
ure, the conviction now prevails that
he will participate and make his fight
against free wool and sugar there rath-
er than as a deserter on the floor.
Other senators, such as Myers,
Thompson, Ashurst, Chamberlain and
Lane, are equally interested in wo67
and sugar, but have announced Their
intention of standing by the bill as
framed. A persistent report was cir
culated that Senator Smith Of Arizona
and Senator Pittman of Nevada would
assist Senators Newlands and Walsh in
any fight they might make for duties
on wool and sugar. Neither Pittman
nor Smith would confirm this rumOr
and leaders do not believe such COM
binatiOn will be effected.
Democratic leaders frankly admit
that the addition Of Senators Newlands
and Walsh, or any other two westecr
men, to the two from Louisiana would
enable the four to write the tariff bill
according to their own views. They
would unquestionably have the SOLE
support Of the as Republicans.
Senator Simmons and his associate:
on the finance committee resumed tht
work Of whipping the Underwood bill

Convention In 1915

LOS ANGELES, May i9.-Los Ange-
les has won the international convention
of the Y. NJ. C. A. for 1915.
This news was brought to the local
association in telegram received from
Arthur Let's, president OF the organ
ization, now in Cincinnati, where he has
been attending the 1913 session.
Not only does this news mean that
Los Angeles has been awarded the con-
ventiOn, but there is every prospect that
the 1915 gathering will represent the
largst assemblage of Y. NJ. C. A. dele
gates in many years.
The message from Mr.. Let's is as
follows:
Cincinnati, May tS, 1913. C. Fletch-
er 0uillian, associate general secretary,

suit Of local delegates waving all claim

in years.
In addition to the honor Of winning
the convention for his home city, Mr..
Let's was unanimously elected coast
member of the committee Of trustees

President on the Bill

WASHINGTON. May i9.-Talkin-
with surprising freedom on the Cali
fornia-Japan land controversy. presi-
dent Wilson i'll todays conference with
newspaper men unreservedly gave in
reviewers inside information" Of the
situation as it appears to him.
He said there is no crisis or near
crisis. Little anxiety is felt by foreign
governments or interference with dip @.
i0matlc negotiations. He talked freely
on phases Of the situation, ''leaden
with dynamic. invoking secrecy On
more delicate subjects, the opinion on
which he declared was wholly per
sOnal."
The president believes the sources
Of japanese war talk are purely con-
jectural. The reports from the Amer
ican consular agents at Toxic minimize
the anti-American sentiment there. How
far official Japanese opposition to the
land bill mas gone could not be ascer-
famed from the presidents talk. but he
Is certain Japan appreciates the friendly
offices Of America in the past, extende /
IN her behalf. The disposition of the
powers 70 keep hands off has intensely
gratifled the president. He understand,

the southern. He doubts if the call for
