cotton fabrics are ravishing. White is

are colors that are exquisite and

in exceptionally interesting variety and
foulards, what are known as summer
silks, crepe de chine, messaline and
the various Oriental weaves are all
fashionable. Not frequently cotton
and silk are combined, for cotton and
silk are the materials Of all others for
summer wear.
IN the group are shown typical frocks
adapted to young girls and to the
small women who find girlish styles
becoming. As shown here, the panier

FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST.

@OLOR seems to make the pre-
dominant feature of spring
fashions, for there is nothing
radically new in cut and style. Very
slight drapery continues to make
feature Of spring skirts; coats are Of
modified length and short and are
jaunty. For indoor wear, all sorts Of
beautiful materials are gracefully
draped and beautifully trimmed but.
radically, the gowns are little different
from those seen throughout the past
season. The very latest news from
Paris in announcing the opening Of
the Maison Bulloz asserts that artists
of high repute were engaged to design
these gown and that marvelously
beautiful fabrics. colors and draperies

fashionable material. For the Casino
dance or any similar occasion, the skirt
Of messaline or charmeuse satin with
the overskirt and the blouse drapery
o ace would make very beautiful
effect. For summer afternoon dress,
wolfe is as good as anything that could
be suggested but it is always possible
to make foulard or plain wolfe or any
simila material after the same model.
Differences in abrics or trimmings will
completely transform any frock. This
one as illustrated is pretty and dainty
but, made Of satin and lace, it would
become exceedingly handsome.

LINDBERGH DECLARES
FOR OPEN SESSIONS
Minnesota Representative Offers Reso
luton Opening Banking and Cur
renew Hearings to Public.

Representative Lindbergh of Minnesota,
the Bull Moose member. has stirred up
an issue in the Banking and Currency
Committee that may provoke good deal
of trouble before il is settled. At the
initial meeting of the committee, held
Yesterday for purposes of organization.
Mr. Lindbergh presented a resolution
providing that all committee hearings
and sessions should be open to the press
and the public.
Representative Korbly of Indiana, a
Democrat, moved that the resolution be
tabled This motion was defeated by an
overwhelming vote. Thereupon the Lind
bergh resolution was referred to a sub
committee of five, of which Representa-
tive Buckley of Ohio is chairman. This
subcommittee will give Mr.. Lindbergh a
hearing.
Chairman Glass and other leaders are
opposed to opening the sessions Of the
committee to the public. They are par
ticularly hostile to the idea just at the
present time when the committee Is
called upon TO report banking and cur
rency bill to the House.
Mr.. Lindbergh is an advocate of pub
licity of all legislative machinery, and
he believes that there is a chance Of a
sufficient number of Democrats and Re-
publicans joining with him in the demand
to force the Committee on Banking and
Currency to do its business in the open.

HINEBAUGH ATTACKS
FRISCO'S AFFAIRS
Illinois Congressman Says 1t Is Duty
of Congress to Authorize Rail-
road Investigation.

Although the Democratic leaders are
opposed to such a course. there is pos
sibility that special inquiry may be or
dered by the House into the circum-
stances surrounding the St. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad receivership.
The question was again directed to the
attention of the House yesterday by
Representative Hinebaugh OF Illinois
who delivered a speech in which he
severely criticised B. F. Yoakum and
others identified with Frisco affairs.
Mr.. Hinebaugh, who presented early in
the week a resolution authorizing the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
probe the operations of the Frisco. char
acterized the system as "a tremendous
jobbing scheme to enrich the men who
have been in a position to- manipulate
its securities"
Mr. Hinebaugh declared that the Frisco
receivcrship had seriously injured 'legiti-
mate American securities abroad" and
he insisted that it was the duty of Con-
gress to authorize an investigation. He
quoted Judson c. Clements, a member of
the Interstate Commerce Commission, as
saying that the commission had author
ity to probe the Frisco receivership. Mr..
Hinebaugh expressed the opinion that
Congress should specifically authorize the
commission to proceed.
In the Senate yesterday Senator Ken
kon of Iowa presented a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of a commit
tee TO make an inquiry into the manage
ment of the Frisco and the causes that
resulted in the system being placed in
the hands of a receiver

to introduce two distinguished gentle
men. His Excellency Viscount Chinda.

represents Japan at the Capital OF our
nation, and Ambassador Guthrie, to
whom has been given the honor of rep
resenting the United States at Tokyo.
The second purpose OF my visit is to
pay my respects and to express my per-

are intrusted with the honorable and
responsible mission OF representing the
two countries so long and intimately
united in the bonds of friendship. i have
had opportunity TO renew in this country
an acquaintance with his eXcellency, the
Japanese Ambassador. which began near
ly eight years ago in his far-away home.
/ feel that both his country and ours
are fortunate in having in the diplomatic
service one so fully equipped for the
duties that fall to an ambassador.
while no one could surpass him in
devotion to the interests of his country
men, it would be equally impossible to
surpass him in the courtesy and kind
ness of spirit which are SO valuable
in international affairs. He has set 40
high a standard that the President had
been careful to select as our represen-
tative to Japan a man OF the highest
character, of large experience. and sin
cerely appreciative of the greatness and
the progress of the country to which
he goes.

.RUCKER OFFERS HOPE
To BRYAN and CLARK
Missouri Representative Offers One
Presidential Term Amendment
in the House.
THREE MEN ARE DISCARDED

Politics bearing on the Democratic
Presidential nomination in 1916 is said to
be concealed in a resolution introduced
yesterday by Representative Rucker OF
Missouri. who supported Champ. Clark in
the Baltimore convention. This resoiu-
ton proposes an amendment to the Con-
stitution, limiting the tenure OF the
President to a term OF six years. and
making ineligible for reelection any
man who has occupied the of1ce. Three
men are concerned in this measure. II
adopted, 1t would bar Col. Roosevelt.
Judge Taft. and President Woodrow
Wilson from reelection.
The single-term idea was considered
in the last Congress. At one time II
looked as IL the resolution then under
consideration would be adopted. For
some reason that was not explained. the
measure was pigeon-hoIed by the House
Committee on the Judiciary. controlled
by the Democrats, after II mad been
passed by the Republican Senate. There
were reports at the time that the reso-
luton was tabled at the instance OF
Gov. Wilson.
in the attitude Of President wilson to-
ward the 1916 nomination. The platform
upon which he ran declared for a single
term. The President mas not indicated
in a public way whether he will be a
candidate to succeed himself. 1t Is re-
called that Mr.. Bryan repeatedly d.
rected attention to the single term
declaration in the course OF speeches
that he made on the stump last year.
Speaker Clark naturally has faith in the
principle.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on the Election of President
OF which AIR. Rucker is chairman. 1t is
the understanding that Mr.. Rucker will
make every effort to have the resolution
reported early in the December session.

GENERAL ATTACK DEVELOPS

Another unsuccessful effort was made
yesterday in the executive session of the
Senate to ratify the arbitration treaties
with Great Britain, Spain. and Italy. The
opposition had increased and Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon. whose objection
prevented the ratification Thursday. and
who stood practically alone at that time,
yesterday found himself ably supported.
Among the Senators who spoke in oppi'
sition to the treaty were O'Gorman,
Crawford, Works, Newlands, Lewis,
Pomerens. Borah. Bristow, and others.
Even Senator Bacon admitted that the
treaties might be open to. objection. Yes
terday the opposition, which was con-
fined almost entirely to Senator Cham
berlain, was grounded In the fact that
under the treaty, if ratified, the United
States would be compelled to arbitrate
the Panama Canal tolls matter. Yester-
day there was a general attack on all ar
bItration treaties and the suggestion was
made by Several Senators that our dipio-
matte representatives had been too ready
&c bind the United States by such treaties
and in many instances had conceded too
much.
Senator Works of California for the
first time introduced the japanese ques-
ton. He declared that the United States
was now seriously handicapped in its do
nestle affairs. as the result of its treaty
obligations, entered into without proper
elaboration. He declared that the recent
japanese trouble proved this fact. Our
State Department, according to the Sen
ator, had tied the country in treaty
with Japan which had seriously embar-
raised the sovereign States in the control
of their domestic affairs, and that the Fed
eraI government was left in a position
on account of the treaty by which 1t
could not come to the relief of the States.
At the conclusion of more than an hour
of earnest debate, the treaties again went
over and the Senate adjourned. Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon said last night
that the arbitration treaties in their pres
ent form could not be ratified.
