COLONEL ROOSEVELT

social and professional relations with 1he plaintiff testified he made spe- cfaI study of the heart and lungs and the effect of aIchOhol, tobacco, opiateS and drugs upon the human system.
 When Andrews under cross examin- alton suggested the witnesses knoWl- edge of what the colonel drank at meal time did not extend to breakfast the doctor who talked very rapidly spark led back: "Oh. yes indeed many break lasts. I frequently stayed at the ROose- welt home all night and might drop in to breakfast any day. as I frequently did"
 pr. Lambert said he had given spe- cial attention to the study of alcoholism more than any other line; he had writ ten a book on the subject which was standard of the profession and probab- ly in his career he had treated 4OO00 cases of alcoholism and it's allied dis orders.
 He was extremely tempera te" testi- fled the doctor His heart and liver which if in an alcoholic condition would be affected he said were prodig- iously healthy and competent l was never called upon to treat my friend professionally until called to the Mercy Hospital at Chicago after Roosevel-'s life had been attempted at Milwaukee He described the course of the bullet through the ribs, the ghastly wound and big bruise which covered a con- siderable part of the patients side. None but a vigorous healthy man could have stood the shock and loss of blood as did Col Roosevelt" he said and no alcoholic could have rallied as he did. He was not nervous, as an a1- cohOlic would have been and despite the pain he fell asleep and rested as quietly as a baby. Had he been a would have shown it. He might even had delirium tremens and in fact fifty per cent of alcoholics who are wounded or shocked as Roosevelt was would have gone into delirimus."
 The witness spoke of hunting trips in Colorado, Montana. the Dakotas and Louisiana in which he was the plain liquor in the camp but Colonel Roose- welt did not carry it.
 Dr. Rixey, as the White House phy- sician viewed the responsibilities with great gravity and according to his tes- timony, he fairly haunted the plaintiff during his seven years at Washington. He lowered over the president like an anxious mother. crept upon him in the dark and at all kinds of unexpected hours to see if the chief executive was not taking chances.

PADS AND FASHIONS.

NEW YORK. May 27-The summer openings at the various fashion shops have begun but. so far the result has not been particularly sensational or in teresting The new summer frocks show the big waist and the very short skirt. Coarse linens or crashes are trimmed in broad bands of batiste. hemstitched or put on with a head of coarse dots Generally the ceinture is of the goods itself, sometimes of silk or satin of a contrasting color, and sometimes of a swathed leather belt.
 In place of buttons running down the front of a dress there are small, flat bows from three or four up to dozen- This idea was followed many years ago in this country, the prim, stiff little bows trimming house gowns very pret- tily. People have not taken to the bows this season, but they relieve the plainness of the front effect. and there is nothing to do but accept them. They may be the color of the silk they trim, or they may be quite a contrasting shade. As a matter of course the bows are only put on dressy frocks of satin or silk or crepe.
 Among the tailored frOcks al the rec ent summer openings there was not single Slashed skirt In evening dres- ses the skirts have the appearance of opening in front or at the side over the feet, but such is not really the case. The effect is caused by tapping the goods across. only in a few instances on the stage have new plays shown the slashed skirt. Now. that people have become accustomed to the idea it is no longer considered particularly inn modest yet the designers of fashions have evidently abandoned the feature. which has lost the charm of novelty.
 The fashions for young girls are, as a ruIe quite charming at the present time The flounced skirt is secure of it's position as a leader of youthful fashions in wash materials and is be- ing developed in constantly increasing variety. It may consist of a deep tunIc, reaching to the knees. with single flounce below that. There may be three flounces growing deeper from the belt to the hem or reversing that order and having the shortest one at the bottom and the deepest at the top.
 One charming model recently seen had an eighteen inch tunic with three six-inch ruffIes below it. The next step may be the solid ruffled skirt which has always been especially at tractive on slim girlish figures There is one feature, however, that is almost essential to bring these flOunced skirts

BIRTHDAY RECEPTION
 FOR MISS DOUGHERTY
Sixteenth Anniversary Appropriately Observed by Score of Friends

With covers laid for about twenty invited guests, Miss Helen Dougher- ty last evening was rendered a most select and enjoyable reception at the home of her parents, MT and Mrs M. F. Dougherty, 62O North First street. It was the occasion Of her sixteenth birthday anniversary and was made all the more pleasing be- cause of the fact that several inti- mate friends of the family tempor- arily in Phoenix, were ena oled to be present.
 The early part of the evening was spent in games and the carrying out of a very pleasing musical and lit erary program. And then the en- tire party gathered about a bounte ously spread table and partook of a sumptuous repast There were dainty name cards at each plate. The cen terpiece was really, truly birth day cake surmounted hy sixteen Vari coIored candles.
 It was not until midnight ap- preached that the party finally broke up all wishing Miss Dougherty many happy returns of the dav.

HORSES MAKE
 FINE SHOWING
Entries at Last Years Fair, Whitening Here, Now on Eastern Circuits Eating Up Track Records and Looking Good

The quality of the horses that appeared here last year at the state fair is demonstrated pretty well when it is known that a number of the strings which were held over td winter here are now appearing upon the big circuits in the middle west aud east. and some of them will show on the grand circuit Among these IT E. Pollock. the Flagstaff millionaire, is probably the foremost. Mir. PolIock's $ string is now at Mar shalltoWn, Iowa, with Joe Slaughter. also well known here. doing most of the driving. In the string are Blanche. 2:06 & Highland C.. 2:1Sl5; Will Guthrie, a colt pacer; and Agan Ciirect.
 At Mason City. Iowa. J. T. Clark has two well known trotters that are showing up finely. These horses are Senator Clark and Blossom 2:2SA both of whom witnered here George Nugent has Princess Louise 2:19H at the same place, Arlie Frost is also east driving members of the sidney Goldman stable.
 The following horses seen here last wear are also appearing in the east and making some splendid shoWings: King Daphne. a pacer. 2:O7A Han nah B.. 2:104. These horses are at Lihertyville. H.. and will run in the grand circuit this year. Charles Stern has with him Airault. q three year old pacer, whose record is 2:1519 made last year on the Phoenix track
 Judge Kinney is at Galesburg with Impetuous Palmer. the fastest colt Of last year, whose record is 2:05A
 All indications are that this years races at the fair will be very much better than those of last year.

SPOILED ESKIMO CHILD.
Problem Arises When Question Of
 It's Education Emerges.

The Eskimo child is the idol of the home, and is allowed to do absolutely as he pleases. He is never punished and his whinls and wishes are consult cd with all the concern given an adult. | Tn spite of this indulgence the children were remarkably obedient.
 Perhaps the patriarchaI manner of living. father and mother, aunts and uncles and grandmother and grand father all in one house. tends to make them so. The word of the old folk Is law and is never questioned. They have lived a long time. the Eskimos reason, and therefore speak with the authority of experience.
 All this is very nice in the ordinary walks of life but rathe~ embarrassing sometimes in school work. When a tot of or plays truant from school and the visiting teacher. complaining to the parents, is gravely told to ask the small deSpot if it is his royal pleasure to come to school or not the situation becomes ludicrous. The only recourse is to become q hated truant officer or, better, to make your work so interesting that the children cannot stay away.
 l remember I used to stay awake at nights thinking up new ways of pre- senting old subjects. usually in the form of action plays and instructive games A native child cannot hold his interest on any one subject for any length of time, his wild free nature craves a va riety of interest Nevertheless they are very bright for the moment and wonderfully quick in perception all though lacking the white child's ability to reason out a problem and to give concentrated attention. which, after all. is the gift of civilization.-Wide World Ma agazine.

 The application for appointment as receivers for the St. Louis and San Francisco was made to Circuit Judge Walter F. Sanborn.

 The new summer cotton blouse is very neat, but that is almost it's only virtue. If there be any trimming al all it is down the front in a straight, untrimmed piece of lace or embroidery. Nearly all these garments open in front, and that is at least something to recommend them. Often there is only a group of narrow tucks about the op- ening with a ruffIe that is broad at the neck but that becomes narrow as it reaches the bust, to finish in nothing at the belt line.

up to date. The ruffle, or tunic, or whatever it is, must be caught up slightly. generally at the left knee in front and fastened with rose or a bunch of flowers. The same accessory is added at the belt, where it is half covered with the loose folds of the corsage.
 The skirt often has a band of col ored satin ribbon encircling it, under meath the shadow lace; for the most attractive of these frocks are of shadow lace or net flouncings and "all-overs". They can easily be made at home or by an ordinary dreSsmaker, which is another point very much in their favor. Of course. the big soft girdle is of wide ribbon or of silk or satin by the yard. and always in a color.
 The ultra modern Balkan, Cubist and Futurist silks and ribbons are not used as trimmings on these delicate lingerie frocks Only the most lovely shades of the simple Colors are to be used on them. Balkan and Persian em- broideries and trimmings are confined, in summer dresses. to the simple ones in heavy materials, such as ratine, crash and linen Pink and pale blue often in combination. are the colors most used with the shadow laces.
 The most elaborate and expensive of the lingerie frocks for young girls are those made of hand embroidered ba- tiste combined with lace or net. or both. These, however, are not for the possessors of limited incomes. They are very often intricately designed. The embroidered batiste appears in the form of elaborate motifs set into the lace or tucked net. Only a very clever

LAPORTE CASE
 |S AFFIRMED
Man Convicted of Murder Largely on Own Comics sion Appeal, But Must Serve Sentence - Pope Olsen Case Dismissed

The Supreme Court yesterday de- C.Ued that stephen Laporte who was tried in the Superior court of Pima county and found guilty of murder in the second degree and sentenced ID ain indetermediate term of not less than ten and not more than fifty years, must carry out the judgment of the lower court. The offence was committed in September. 1909, and the indictment returned on January 2- 1913, and the trial had shortly after that date The appeal was talk en from an order of the lower court presided over by Hon w. F. Coop CT overruling an arrest of judgment.
 The question before the court was largely based upon a construction of the indetermediate sentence laws of 1909 and 1912. The court in sen tencing the convict to serve his term did so under the law of 1909, which was in effect when the crime was committed The supreme court holds this to have been the proper thing to do
 The Laporte case was a peculiar one from the beginning. LapOrte surrendered himself in Chicago some six months ago and was brought
  or his part for trial for the mur- der of William Taylor. which he con- fessed to have committed in Tucson in 1909.
 One of the points raised by the attorneys for the defense was that the court could not assess penalty under the indetermediate sentence law because it did not exist at the time of the crime, but the higher court held that an interdemediate sentence law passed 5n 1909 existed at the time of the crime and the court had acted properly in the mat ter.
 The second opinion handed down yesterday was in the case of John II Pope vs Olsen and Graf, an ap- peal from the decision of Judge Phillips in the Superior court of AIaricopa county. The appeal was dismissed. The controversy was based upon an agreed stipulation in connection with the civil trial in the court below The action of the Su- prerne court it is understood does not affect the standing of the Hti- gantS.

i ished with a great deal of hemstitch- ing, the holes coarse and the thread heavy. In fact, that is about all the handwork that goes on the new blouse. If there are tucks they are put in with q hemstitcn, and it is also used for the hem around the neck
 There is every indications that sum- mer blouses will have very low necks this year. Some of the V-shaped open i ings are excessively wide and expose So much of the neck that only few wo- men, with we'll developed and pretty necks can wear these blouses and look well in them.
 The washable net petticoat is a nov city in summer lingerie. It is unlined, and is shaped in the upper body of the skirt so that it has practically no full ness. At the bottom is a 12-inch flounce of the net, set on the skirt with ribbon-run beading. Underbodies to match are usually worn with these pet ticoats.
 Shadow lace underwear and even nightgowns of that material are offered in the shops. Silk underskirts woven to initiate shadow lace are among the novelties, and are called shadow lace shirts.

 "It IS not for a moment to be pre- suned," says Hinebaugh, "that the old-time standpat men who believe their position is the only correct one will eliminate themselves in a con- vention called and controlled by themselves"
