The new styles this season are truly
fearfully and wonderfully made. At
least. some of them are-the lamp
shade skirt. dyed furs, landscape wells
and the like. To these eccentricities
has been added the collar that doesn't
ct. With no pretense to fit. this neck
arrangement is one of the ugllest of
the freak fashions.
Aside from the thick wired collar, the
costume pictured is n of the best
looking tailleurs of the season. 1t is
made of brocaded mohair in a charm
ing shade of plum and is trimmed with
a girdle of American Beauty sats.
The little bolero coat reveals the girdle,
and the sash ends fall gracefully from
under a gathered peplum.

THE n. 6. UNIVERSITY HAzERs
WHO WERE coNvicTEp OF
MANsLAUGHTER.
THE LAST CHAPTER WRITTEN
Sends His Answer BY Wire to Private
seeretary.-WouId Pardoning Power
Restore Citizenship? - Chief ,,Jus-
tice Clark Maintains to Contrary.

Raleigh.-By telegram from Wind
sor to his private secretary, J.. p.
Kerr, Governor Craig declined to
grant pardons for the three univer-
sity hazers convicted in the Orange
superior court Of involuntary man
slaughter, and thus the last chapter
of the unfortunate affair is written.
L. j. Merriman, father Of one Of
the boys convicted spent two days in
interests of securing the pardon and
left for Wilmington. The message
from Governorn, Craig came several
hours after Mr.. Merriman's depart
ure as the anxious father awaited
the announcement Of the governors
decision until past noon and not hear
ing anything from the governor left
on the afternoon train for Wilmington
with a feeling that his request would
not be granted.
In seeking clemeDcy for the three
hazers, whose term of four months
has just expired, the purpose was in
mind hat the extending of the par
doning power before the expiration of
the sentence would restore the citi-
zenship Of the young men. This con
clusion advanced by Mr.. Merriman
and on which he sought the pardon
with such steadfast purpose has given
cause for debate and the contention
is that the intercession of the gov
ernor would not restore their citizen
ship.
No less an authority than Chief
Justice Walter Clark maintains that
the pardoning power cannot restore
citizenship of persons convicted of
manslaughter. He maintains that the
restoration of citizenship to persons
convicted of manslaughter is entirely
within the jurisdiction Of the courts
Judge Clark cites authority from Vol
1 Of the Revisal of 1905 Of North Car
DINA laws, Section $3.50.

the revision of rates on bananas in
carloads to North Carolina territory,
involving reductions to representative
points as follows: Raleigh II cents
the hundredweight; Greensboro, H.;
Salisbury, y; Charlotte, 10; Asheville

"Other adjustments were taken up
and discussed, but no conclusion was
made in respect to them, particularly
in regard to a desired reduction in the
coal rates in North Carolina"
. The proposal makes a 20 per cent
reduction in rates from the east and
lesser reductions East and North. The
corporation commission declares in
the report that it makes no recon-

sires to have the advantage of con

end that the conclusions reached in
these conferences may be as far as
