WOMAN JURORS
SCORN STYLE Of
SMART LAWYER.
Beau BrummeI Clothes and Bach
elor Button of Barrister Fail
to Win His Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19-Per-
sonal pulchritude and unusually
smart habiliments, heightened by a
bachelors button and an ingratiating
manner, failed to win for Assistant
District Attorney Maxwell McNutt
in his appeal to the jury of women
which tried Mrs. Bertha J. Williams
on an extortion charge to-day. After
celebrating one hour and 55 min
utes, the jury, the first in the his
tory of the world composed of wom-
en- to hear a felony case, brought
in verdict of acquittal.
"Of course she said she did what
she did but we didn't think when she
said she did it, she meant she had
meant to do it," said one of the jury
women.
Hence, Mrs. Williams, attired in
fetching Milan hat and a neat white
serge tailored suit, much scrutinized
by the jUrywomen, made discreet os-
culatory advances to her benefactors,
and the incident was closed.
Mrs. Annette Robinson, also ar
mored in attractive feminine fiXings,
was the complaining witness in the
case. She accused Mrs. Williams of
having written her a letter April s,
attempting TO extort $3.50 in return
for the delivery of a trunk said to
have contained certain evidence
which, according to the letter, would
have embarrassed Mrs. Robinson, had
it fallen into the hands of the po-
lice.

The Tango Arrives in Time
To Stir JOdcd paris Nerves
By La Raconteuse.

US all by declaring: I love tango
above anything else in this world, and
find it absolutely chaste when it is
danced by a Spaniard or a South
American. Frenchmen will never
learn to dance it properly"
Mile Cecile Sorel, Of the Come
die Franchise" says she does not
know nor want to know the tango,
for there is only one kind of dance,
that which is taught by Isadora Dun
can, which arouses in my soul i'm
ages of the highest beauty"
Andre deFouquieres says tango is
a sad, melancholy dance which will
never lastingly appeal to the lively,
animated French people.
He thinks It should be limited to
the stage. 1t can be danced very
correctly; on the other hand it is liza
BILE not to be.
Its unsuitability for the drawing
room comes also from the fact that
it is not gay and convivial dance
and pretty like the Russian polka OF
the Polish polka. Il am a partisan
of the old Dances says NJ. de Fou-
quieres, and at certain evening par
ties l have danced the Empire dances
One must have tradition, especially q
nation like France, famous for hei
chivalry and politeness.

PARIS, July 19.-PersOnally am
quite unable to understand why the
tango's merits and dement's should
continue to interest Parisians. But it
is an undeniable fact that the Argen-
tine rationale dance, which, by the
way is repudiated by the Argentine
legation still remains the subject Of
most heated discussions in the salons
and everywhere.
The exotic dance was fortunate in
arriving here at time when we were
practically at our wits end for a new
subject Of conversation. Society found
what it wanted the very moment the
chief of police forbade the tango to
be danced in public, and now tango
has reached the heights of its pOpu-
larity. 1t may even survive this
dreadfully hot summer 1t is dis
cussed in society at the "fves" in the
Bots. and tout Paris" is at present
divided into two hostile camps-for
and against tango.

Gabriel d'Annunzio who was asked
his opinion of the tango, replied with

Country Club
Clothes

Reception days at the country club
and the yacht club bring out very dis
tinguished costumes of the lingerie
order, accompanied by picture hats
loaded with roses, and parasols select
ed to match sashes. Such frocks this
year are almost entirely of fine lace
and machine embroidery, with know
ing touches in the way of sashes and
little tulle bows at the neck and girdle.
Airy black tulle bows with sheer
white frocks are extremely smart, and
with this white and black combina-
ton is carried a parasol of decided
hue, like mustard yellow, Nell rose or
sake blue. Buttoned white oxfords
are much fancied with white froCks of
an airy character, though buttoned
boots of buckskin are liked best with
yachting costumes of a tailored ma
ture.

see that the public road question is
the question of the day, and one that
must be settled regardless of cost.
There is no civilized world that can
exist with the present condition of the
public highways of this part of Texas.
They get worse every year. AS dry as
the ground was before the rains, a
wet spell of two weeks put the roads
in an impossible condition, and when
we are compelled to figure on pulling
through mud every where, We go for
at least half of the time from now
until next May, it is simply too awful
to study about for such great coun-
try as we have in Brazos County. With
recent experiences that have had in
driving the roads in the county, | am
convinced that the road-drag is the
greatest labor saver and road-builder
that has ever been invented. I am
sure that one man with four mules
and a good drag can do more effectual
and beneficial work than five hundred
