length OF the skirt.
THE belted coat and the trim

of the next gown shown. The
coat is a favorite and a deserved
one. Added to its other advantages,
it is very easy to make. The upper
portion is separate and the peplum
is joined to it so that the fitting is
simple. In one view, it is shown with
a straight peplum and in the other
with cutaway effect and both are in
good style. The skirt is Just simple
one in three pieces but the narrow
panel at the front gives very dis
tinctive touch. The back is treated in
a quite new and interesting way, with
inverted plaits below the tabs that
make walking easy and graceful. The
brocade against the background Of

handsome suit, but one could fancy

occasions, they are really fascinating

peculiarly well. We will be straight Of

the skirt too tight to allow Of walking

arrange soft materials in a way to
bring gathers or fullness Of some sort

and to overlap the edges to give very
becoming lines. Many times these

signs. In common with all effects Of
the kind, they are brilliant and some
times almost crude. The Indian orna-
ments are quite as available if we
would only think 50 and great many
of the girdles worn by the chiefs are
marvels Of simple, primitive color and
form.
The bead weighted girdIes are, how
ever, exceedingly handsome and can
be used with excellent effect upon many
costumes while belts show almost
infinite variety. Not alone are we
wearing belted coats and belted blouses,
We will finish our own skirts with
belts or girdles, to whatever height
they may be cut. Extremes meet
in the matter Of the waist line Just
now, for a great many of the COS
tunes that give the Balkan idea are
made with the belt placed well over
the hips while great many of the
smart French costumes show the high
inc in coats as well as in gowns. As
finish for simple skirts cut above the
waist line are used both belts and
girdles, which is better depending
entirely upon the especial figure. For
the tailored suit and the simple skirt,
leather is liked, and suede. kid and
patent leather all are shown. Widths
vary from the narrow belt of an inch

STATEMENT AS TO SUIT
Is EXPECTED TODAY
Attorney General to Make Announce
ment Regarding Action Against
Southern Pacific Railway.

II is understood that the Attorney
General will make a definite announce
ment today with regard to the anti
trust suit to be brought to divorce the
Southern Pacific Railway from the Gen.
trail Pacific. The suit will be similar
in many ways to that for the dissolu-
tion of the Union Pacifc-Southern Pa
cifc merger.
II will allege that the Southern Pa
cifc and the Central Pacific are non
competing lines, the one controlled by
the other. and that their present basis
of operation involves violation of the
Sherman antitrust act.
1t has been known for some time that
the Attorney General had decided to
bring this suit He admitted that such
was his intention before the agree
ment was reached with the Union Pa
cifC directors for the sale of this cor
poration's holdings in the Southern Pa
cihc Since that time he has main
tained a settled determination that the
suits should be brought as soon as the
agents OF the Department OF Justice
could prepare the material for it That
the filing Of the suit has been delayed
this long was due only to the crowded
condition of affairs at the Department
OF Justice.

Members of Congress and Others Dis.
cuss Formation of National Pop
uIar Government League.

Several members of Congress and others
prominent in political life met last night
at the Cosmos Club to plan the forma-
tion of an organization to put through
certain political reforms. The organiza-
ton will be known as the National Pop
ular Government League. 1t was decided
to hold a convention in Washington in
the early part OF December.
The principal aim of the league, ac-
cording to Judson King, executive secre-
tary, is legislation that will make the
Constitution more flexible and more read
lily Changeable TO suit the needs of the
times. Some of the reforms fer which
the body will work after its formation
will be the direct nomination of Presi-
dent and Vice President mandatory
primaries. corrupt practices prevention
acts, the preferential ballot, and the COM

this unexpected obstacle in the canal
will be torn asunder next Monday by
an explosion greater than any which
has yet been used in the construction
OF the canal.
When President Wilson today pressed
the telegraph key at Washington which
exploded the eight tons of dynamite
placed in the Gamboa Dam, there was
a mighty roar which was heard at
both entrances to the canal. When Col
Goethals and his assistants were able
to see through the cloud Of dust which
hung over the dam, they found the
blast had been fiat and a gap of thirty
feet wide had been torn in this barrier
which had been left to prevent the rush
OF water through the canal This eX
plosion occurred at POPS this after
noon.
But the waters were held back by
the Cucharacha slide spreading its
,ons OF earth and rock across the line
Of the canal in fan shape. At 4:3O
this afternoon Col. Goethals and his
STAFF gathered at the slide, prepared to
complete the joining of the oceans
through the canal, but the slide resist
ed the heavy charge of dynamite, and
the barrier remained as firm as at any
time since it formed.
Thousands of persons gathered at
the Gamboa Dam to witness the eXplO-
sion. and il was with considerable diff
fiCulty that the crowd was held in
check by the Zone police.
Accompanying Col Goethals and his
wife in their special car were Mr. and

Duvall and Evans lifted open the door.
The crowd was. according to the police
split into small groups. They were so
surprised they showed no reason other
than to try to escape by two windows

SIGNAL FROM PRESIDENT
TRANSMITTED TO CANAL
ZONE IN TWO MINUTES

President Wilson at o'clock yesterday
afternoon touched the button at the
White House which exploded the charge
beneath Gamboa dixie
Later in the afternoon officers of the
Isthmian Canal Commission were in
formed by the telegraph company which
arranged for the flashing of a signal
from the White House to the Canal Zone
that the transmission had been most
satisfactory. The time of transmissiCn II
was said TO be two minutes.
All arrangements had been most care
fully made in advance, 50 as to provide
a clear wire from the White House 10
the Canal. The flash was sent down by
land lines TO Galveston. thence to the
coast OF Mexico. across the Isthmus Of
TehUantepee, down the West Coast to
Panama. touching at San Juan del Sur,
Nicaragua. and overland again from the
City OF Panama to the point on the
Isthmus from which the dynamite was
exploded An answering flash was sent
back by way of Colon and New York
The canal officials did not send any
message to Washington following the
blowing out of the dixie.
This elimination OF nine wears OF the
most gigantic digging the world has ever
seen was remarkably simple There was
no ~eremony about il whatever. The
President, after he had lunched in the
White House dInnC-room with DR.. Cary

walked across the hall into the office Of
Chief Usher Hoover.
No members of Congress or OF the de-
partments of the government were there
to witness the historic event.
