This remarkable transparent
gown was imported from Paris by
a society lady of Boston, who will
wear it at "tea dances" this fall.
Ordinarily, the gown appears no
different from the usual garment
worn by fashionable women, but i'm
mediately the rays of strong light
strike it, the transformation into
an "x-ray gown" takes place
Various cities have enforced an
ordinance against wearing modifca-
tions of this gown which seems to
be finding favor with the ladies. and
other communities compel the wear
ers to walk on the shady side of the
street
The gown is made of black lace
and is worn over black silk knicker-
bockerss and black silk stockings.

CUTTING Of MELON
ALLOWED BY COURT
Old Dominion Copper Company
Can Declare Dividends on
$1,000, 900 Fund from Suit.
Especial to the Newark star.I


TRENTON, Nov 26.-Considerable
high finance is revealed In a suit
in the Court of Chancery brought by
Godfrey M. Hyams against the Old
Dominion Copper Mining and Smelt-
Ing Company, of New Jersey, and
which has just been decided in an
opinion filed by Vice-Chancellor How
ell. Hyams brought the action to
restrain the company from paying
dividend out of a fund of almost
S2,000000, which was recovered from
a promoter of the company upon the
ground that he had obtained 1t as O.
secret and illegal profit. Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell rules that the company
has sufficient surplus in its treasury
to permit the payment of the dividend
without impairing its capital.
Several frenzied financial schemes
In relation to the company were pro-
NOTED by Albert S. Bigelow and
Leonard Lewisohn, and 1t was alleged
in this suit that they made large
secret profits thereby.
Suits were instituted in the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts
against Bigelow to recover his share
of these profits, and judgments were
obtained against him compelling res
titution. After this money had been
repaid, the directors OF Ine colnpaHy
voted to pay O. dividend therefrom,
resulting in this Chancery Court suit.
The company had proposed to de-
clare the dividend on the money 1t
recovered in judgments This amounts
to 1888, 566.16.
Hyams, former manager of the COM
pany, who holds 1856 shares of the
stock, opposed the paying of the
dividend on the ground that 81, 900
of the money received under the
DEGREES represented capital and not
surplus to be used as dividends and
that to pay the dividend, before final
hearing in the case, would result in
the dissipation Of the large fund
beyond redemption.
Holders of trust certificates which
were sold on the Boston and New
York exchanges some years ago as
low as 81 will profit by the vice-chan-
cellor's decision. The dividend on
each share will be over $40.

Commerce Court Annuls
Decision on "Tap Lines

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The
Commerce Court today annulled the
orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission which forbade payment
by trunk line railroads of allowances
to so-called tap lines. The court held
that commission was not only with
out power to forbid any allow
ance whatsoever, to be made by trunk
lines to the petitioning proprietary
industries for switching, but 1t was
also without power to prohibit the
making of joint rates by the trunk
lines and the petitioning tap lines
and the payment by the former to the
latter of some division hereof for its
services"
The court held, however, that the
commission was fully empowered to
regulate the amount of allowances SO
as to prevent rebates and unjust dis
ordinations. The cases probably will
be carried to the Supreme Court.

TWO HUNTERS LOST
DAY AND ANIGHT
Jersey City Men Almost Fam
ished After Experience on
Caldwell Meadows.

Two hunters were lost in the Big
Piece meadows, north of Caldwell, for
day and night.
They made their dinner OF a lone
rabbit they had shot, spent Monday
night in the open, and yesterday
afternoon found their way back to
the trolley terminal In Caldwell,
famished and exhausted.
Entering the lunch room there, one
of them said:
GIVE us something to eat. We're
pretty near starving. We've lost our
coats and our money. but Wen leave
our guns as security"
They gave their names to the
waiter as Harold Riker and Freder-
lex Newbury. of Jersey City.
While he was making away with a
triple order of ham and" Riker ex-
planned that he and Newbury had
intended to spend Monday and
Tuesday nights at farmhouse in
Little Falls.
I'VE arrived in Caldwell on the
first car Monday" he said, land went
to Pine Brook, where we began to
hunt. Our idea was to hunt the Big
Piece meadows to Little Falls,
I'VE started q rabbit and got
turned around. We spent the rest of
the day trying to find the Passaic
river, but all we managed to do was
to get in bad stretch of swampy
ground. We had left our coats be-
hind, and, of course, we couldn't find
them again. We fired several times,
but got no answers.
Monday night we built fire and
cooked our rabbit. We started off
again at daylight today and walked
southeast as well as we could judge.
At noon we came to road used by
farmers who cut hay on the low
lands. We followed 1t to Clinton road
and reached Caldwell"
They returned for their guns today.
