Robbery Plot Baked.

On a former occasion they had at
tempted to rob the woman, but were
suspicious of number OF Italians from
Mott street, who, they said, were prob
ably upon the same errand.
The confessions Of the prisoners
showed that they stopped at nothing
that would bring them money. One
form of graft was the selling Of tickets
for balls and banquets, some Of which
were never held. This was form Of
extortion brought to its highest degree
of perfection by the late Jack Zelig
and his gang.
A batch Of tickets found in Lava
tino's pockets, printed in Italian, told
Of grand banquet given to II Sig1or
Antonino Lavatino the 22 Of Septem-
Der, at No. 203 Schristie street-beer
saloon" The price was 81 ticket.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. July 5-There is no doubt
that Americans and American dollars
alone saved the present London season
from becoming a FROST II is true
London has been crowded, unusually
crowded But aside from those Of the
leading American and Anglo-American
hostesses, there have been few large en-
tertainments.
Those who pretend to know explain
that this is due to the fact that many
large London houses such as Grosevenor
house, the residence of the Duke and
Duchess of Westminster. and Devon
shire house. which In former seasons has
been the scene Of great entertainments
by the Duke and Duchess OF Devonshire
are closed.
'sThe thing that strikes me most about
the present London society,"" said a
prominent American visitor today, els
that every one seems to be trying to
expenditure"
At the Ritz Hotel there are Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherwood Aldrich. who are making
a short automobile trip; Mr.. and Mrs.
Livingston Beekman, who are doing con-
siderable entertaining; Mr.. and Mrs.
George L. Carbenfe, en- route to Ham
burg: Mr.. and Mrs. De Witt Guyler, Mr.
and Miss Draper of Washington and
Mr. and Mrs Hamilton Fish. who also
are doing great deal Of entertaining.
Rest Gowns.
No smart woman can now afford to
go to a country house without a few
very beautiful rest gowns" Many of
the kimono rest gowns come direct from
Japan and the designs and coloring are
gorgeous. Lady Arlington. who is a
mature beauty OF the oriental type, has
ordered some OF these rest gowns, which
are likely to be the envy Of her sex
when she goes visiting.
One gown, made Of japanese crepe de
chine. is pale mist gray, lined with the
softest wistar.a mauve silk Over the
gown are worked great dropping sprays OF
wistaria in nauve silk shaded as deli
cate!y IS 2 Japanese painting, the leaves
and long curling tendr.ls being embroid-
cred IN pale almond green silks as a
contrast.
The gown is, Of course in kimono
form. the great bag sleeves being edged
with strand silk and silk tassels. An
other gown Is OF pale water blue silk
with ragged chrysanthemums worked
over II in faint creamy pink wistaria
and leaves Of the tender green and white.
The palest shell pink doublurs provides
the finishing touch Still another gown
has the same pattern on a pink ground
with a touch of black and white deity
introduced into the color scheme by
means of q couple of tall storks which
form part OF the picture and provide a
strong contrast.
