mole and sealskin to a nicely. This
imported plush is by no means to be
confounded with the domestic article,
which is heavy and coarse as furniture
upholstery in comparison. The i'm
ported material, known to the trade as
hatter's plush, is as light and supple
as chiffon velvet. Gowns as well as
coats are made of it, and in the many
brilliant shades of rose, blue, and yell
low, it is exquisite and unsurpassed
for draped costume.
The silk plush coats and wraps lend
themselves more gracefully to the vo-
luminous draped models, broad at
shoulder and hip and narrowing into
/ the ankles, than the heavier, real furs.
A black one with smart fitch collar
! (across the back only, of course), is
elegant and striking in the extreme,
and taupe with a collar of skunk
! is very lovely. Most all of these coat
wraps are three-quarter length only
and invariably show Innings of vivid
hued satin or brocade.
At the opening of the Little The
ater two astounding headdresses in
the audience divided attention with the
stage. One, worn by well known
dancer, was a turban of white tulle
wound with string of brilliants
swathing the brow. Across the house
it gave the startling effect of lady
with a severe headache. In any other
color save the white the vision of a
large night and the morning after
would not have been so vivid. The
other heady getup on near actress
consisted of large oval jet medalions
set in the hair on either side of the
wearer's head, from which dangled a
chin strap of jet that swayed and
dangled under the fair ones rather
prominent jaw at every turn of her
head. From the many aerie effects
one notes on the heads of the fair sex
it would seem that the wierder they
are the smarter they are.
Most women would be willing to
give their "sole" for the stunning new
button shoes of patent kid with uppers
of duvetyn to match the inevitable
duvetyn costume without which no
winter wardrobe is complete.
They have rather long vamps of the
kid, unrelieved by stitching, or tips.
and all the rest of the shoe is of duve-
tyn except the high French heel of the
patent leather
In shades of taupe, brown, or grey
the combination is particularly chic
The maid or matron thus shod can
never be shoddy.

GOV. JOHNSON REPLIES
TO G.. O. p. APPEAL

Sacramento, Nov. Ex-Governor
Johnson answered the invitation sent
out by Gustave Brenner to him and to
jther Progressives to attend the old
line Republican conference in San
Francisco, saying:
"The rank and file of the Republican
party will not be present or represent
I'd at the conference, if there is any
rank and file remaining.
"Not even the real leaders of the
'emnants of the Republican party will
be present. The real leaders are Mike
De Young Of the San Francisco Chro-
licle, Harrison Gray Otis of the Los
Angeles Times, and John D. Spreckels,
ate of the San Francisco Call, and
now of the San Diego Union.
"Neither those leaders nor any rank
nd file will be present, so it would
)e useless to attend the conference.
"When we learn that the real lead
srs of the Republicans command what
hall be done, there will be ample op-
1ortunity to respond to the Progress
sive conference, which will be held in
San Francisco in December.
"By the way, all Republicans who
10 not feel that they must follow
Messrs. de Young, Otis and Spreckels,
will be welcomed at the Progressive
conference. OF course, the singular
harm that attaches itself to the
rain of these distinguished gentle
nen is easily understood and with
1ifficulty resisted, but nevertheless
Progressives would be delighted to
Welcome at their conference in De-
;ember all who can resist the glamor
hat comes and the distinction that
arises from recognition by de Ycung's
Chronicle, Otis Times or Spreckels'
Union"
1t is not thought the governor will
accept Brenner's invitation.

The Bottle Kings Ambition

Hartford Daily Times: 81 shall
build me palace in Washington that
will be like the White House, yet un-
like it; that will be more beautiful,
more magnificent and expensive and
more impressively situated"
In making this remark the bottle
king (for it was none other) had in
mind task which nobody else seems
ever to have thought of undertaking.
During the last twenty years the city
of Washington has become the mecca
of the millionaires, of whom many
have built for themselves magnifi-
cent residences. But none of the lat
ter up to now has attempted to rival
or copy the historic mansion on Penn
sylvania avenue which has been the
home of all save one of our presi-
depts.
1t must be owned that the bottle
king has at last measurably accom-
plished his ambition. His dwelling,
now approaching completion, which
stands on Sheridan circle and over
looks Rock creek, will cost $1,5OO,OOO
six times the amount of money
spent in the original construction of
the White House. 1t is built of a
beautiful white limestone, quarried at
Bowling Green, in the state of Ken
lucky, which has much the same ap-
pearance as marble, but is more last
ing. The White House (standing on
low ground) is of brown Virginia
sandstone, a rather friable material,
painted white. There is no great diff
ference between the two in point of
size, but the bottle kings mansion,
perched on the immediate edge of
precipitous bluff rs feet in height, is
clearly in view from several points
of the compass at distance of miles.
One naturally asks, Who is the bot
tie king? The answer is that his
name is Edward II. Everett, and that
he is the head of the bottle trust.
Most people have never heard of this
industrial organization, yet it is a
big affair.

LIQUOR CAUSES STOKERS
TO GET IN UGLY MOOD

San Francisco, Nov 20.-The Bri-
tish foreign Santa Rosalia of theMa
pie Leaf line, which cleared for Swan
sea and Dunkirk, returned to port
with twelve of the crew of forty-one
locked in the forecastle and nine arm
ed men from the United States reven-
ue cutters Golden Gate and McCullach
on guard at the hatchways.
Capt. Thomas Pritchard said that
shortly after he passed out through
the Golden Gate nine of his fremer
threw down their shovels, asserting
that when they signed on in England
they had agreed to work shifts of fou1
hours with eight hours off, but ir
point of fact had sometimes been or
duty sixteen hours at a stretch.
In some manner the men had SNUG

were in ugly humor. Unable to make
steam with his regular force and fore
seeing that his engine-room crew was
not strong enough to man the engines
and the boilers both for long cruise,
Captain Pritchard anchored for the
night eight miles out.
This morning the engineers and
oilers gat up steam enough to turn
over the engines and prepared to put
back to port, but when the captain
ordered the anchor weighed three of
the sailors joined the mutinous fire.

got up the anchor with the steam
winch and the laden freighter waddl-
ed back to port.
Where the liquor was stored the
captain does not know, but there was
enough Of it to last the night, and this
morning the men were in uglier hu-
NOR than ever. The vessel anchored
nj the roadstead while the captain
came ashore to report to the British
consul.

NEW NATIONAL BANKING
LAW PLAN APPEARS

Washington, Nov. 19-With the
administration currency bill due to
be reported to the senate this week
after long delay, a plan to revise the
national banking laws to meet the
new currency system has made its
appearance in legislative circles. Il
will include important questions orig
inally contemplated as part of the
currency bill but set aside until the
next session of congress, when a gen
eral revision of banking laws has
been promised by the administration.
In connection with this proposed
revision, congress will take up the
far-reaching question Of rural cred
its. One of the provisions which will
probably be inserted in the new law
will forbid interlocking directorates
in national banks. An effort has
been made to put this prohibition in
the pending currency bill, but the ad-
ministration has maintained that it
should SO into the new banking law.
Advocates of the banking law re-
vision plan are seeking to place their
projects ahead of the proposed anti
trust legislation in the administra-
ton program.
The progressive antitrust program
is outlined in three bills which Rep
resentative Nurdock of Kansas viii
introduce tomorrow. They embody
proposals to create an interstate
trade commission, to prohibit unfair
competition and to suppress monop-
olies.
Mr.. Murdock said tonight that his
bill would create a trade commission
that would relieve the courts of ad-
functions in business
regulations and bring quick, adequate
relief to the small business man.
The commissions jurisdiction will
be limited to corporations and busi-
ness combinations having more thar
S3,000,000 gross annual receipts from
business in the United States. Il
would have plenary powers to get
complete information, to criticise and
make public oyercapitalization, unfail
competition, misrepresentation or op-
pressive use of credit, and to assist
the courts in enforcing DEGREES of
dissolution.
Interlocking directorates, oppres.
sive exclusive contracts, localized
price cutting, procuring favors from
common carriers and procuring dis
honest conduct from employees OF
competitors are among trade prac.
tees the second bill would put undel
the ban.
The third bill would empower the
trade commission to investigate the
complaints of any business organiza
ton exercising Substantially mon
opolistic power" and is designed to
deal with acts not in themselves al
all wrongful but resulting in intoler
able conditions.
In an effort to hurry the currency
bill along to the senate the five re-
publicans on the committee and Sen
ator Hitchcock had meeting tonight
and continued work on their draft OF
the bill, making minor changes and
correcting phraseology. The repub.
licans hope to conclude their first
draft by Tuesday, and the bill will
be taken up in meeting of the full
committee called for that day.

CREW WAS RESCUED.
Sealing Schooner a Total Wreck il
Nova Scotia Waters,

Halifax, y. S, Sept. 12.-The former
sealing schooner Agnes Donahoe, whose
short existence was as varied as tale
of the Spanish main, is ashore, to-
tai wreck, in Disby Gap near the
light. She struck, during the heavy
storm which swept the, Annapolis bas-
in, Monday, and was almost immediate
ly broken up by the waves. Her crew
of seven men was rescued
The schooner was built, in 1908, for
use as a sealer. In 1904, following d
trip around Cape Horn, she was seized
by the government of Uruguay and
the crew confined in the BLACK Hole"
charged with violation of the interna =
tional laws, for nearly a year. During
the struggle by British diplomatists to
secure the vessels release, she was
accused of almost every crime in the
calendar
The Agnes remained in the sealing
trade creating an enviable record, un-
til last year, when she was purchased
by Halifax firm and used for the
transportation of brick.
