n AM going to tell you this week
about the nextto-nothing gowns
which are all the rage in Paris.
Afternoon and evening gowns are
becoming more decolette and more
transparent. Instead OF gowns. these
creations resemble f1lmy. floating
draperies. One can scarcely call
them coverings. The long-sleeved
evening gown is still with us, but
many OF tho Spring models will show
no sleeves at all.
Very soon I hope to be able to send
you pictures Of these invisible cos.
tunes. This week am sending
those which, while graceful and
charming, do not belong to the next.
to-nothing class.
The gown OF black taffeta is Pc
culiarly fitted for the ever-popular
afternoon dance The entire upper
part of the bodice and the long
sleeves are OF unlined t,ille. The
short peplum is also OF the tulle. The
narrow band Of ermine on the skirt
gives the touch OF white which is so
chic. Such costume may be worn
to the most formal afternoon affairs.
The gown for an evening dance de-.
veloped In blue and rose taffeta Is Of
equal simplicity and grace. The de.
sign OF the fabric is a pleasant
change from the usual pompadour
effects. The walst line as marked by
the ribbon sirdle is almost normal.
The tunic slopes to the back.
One can never have too many
charming and becoming negliges.

ON MICHIGAN ROAD
Passenger Train Hits Freight
Near Jackson.
SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED
Passengers Trapped in Coaches and
Death List May Go Higher-ee-
lieved Accident Was Caused
by Misup Of Orders.

Jackson Mich, Jan. 27-At least
FIVE persons were killed and a score in
jured Sunday night when Michigan
Central passenger train No 40, from
Saginaw, due here at 1910 p. m. col
lided head-on with freight train
about three miles from here.
The baggage car and one coach OF
the passenger train were teleecoped
and every passenger In the coach was
either killed or injured. All available
physicians were hurried TO the scene
OF the wreck. from this city. Several
of the wounded were brought to hos
pitfalls here on an interurban car, the
line OF which parallels the Michigan
Central tracks at that point.
Owing TO the darkness the work OF
rescue was slow and difficult. Two
hours after the collision number OF
the passengers were still in the wreck
age and it was believed some OF these
also might be dead.
Access to the wrecked coach--the
smoker--was INSTRUCTED by the walls
OF the baggage car, which completely
encased il. Inside this trap could be
seen from dozen to a score OF pas
sengers. Some OF them were moaning
or shrieking for aid, while others lay
still, evidently dead.
The only body identified up To two
o'clock Monday morning was that OF
Engineer Cal Johnson OF the passen-
ger train. He was crushed TO death
between the tender and his cab.
Through apertnres in the smoker
could be seen a man believed to be
James b. Cheney of Detroit. He sat
upright in a seat which was damned
against the one in front OF him. The
wreck apparently resulted from mis-
understanding Of orders. The freight
il is said was supposed TO take a sid
ing TO allow the passenger train TO
pass.

TO GET TRUST VIEWS
HOUSE COMMITTEES TO PLAN
HEARINGS TO-DAY.
Believed That Two Bodies of Congress
Will Not Hold Joint
Meetings

Washington, Jan. 27.--Plans for pub
lie hearings on the antitrust legisla-
ton program in congress probably VIII
! take definite shape today. when the
house Judiciary and interstate COM
merce committees hold separate meet
ings.
There is some feeling between the
committees in both branches of con-
gress over the question Of jurisdiction
and it was said that the house iudici.
airy committee probably would not con-
sent to join in the hearings which
Chairman Newlands of the senate com.
uittee on interstate commerce and his
colleagues have suggested.
Early hearings probably will be
agreed upon by both the house com
mittees.
The judiciary committee expects to
examine soon William Draper Lewis OF
the University of Pennsylvania, Don
aid X. Richberg Of the Progressive ma
tional headquarters and Herbert Knox
Smith, former federal commissioner OF
wi pOI oLtphS, "ho nave iS
quests to be heard through Victor Muir
dock, the Progressive leader.
The senate interstate commerce COM
mittee will meet Wednesday, when the
question of joint hearings will be con-
sidered.
Nothing in President Wilson's pro-
gram against holding companies will!
be intended to bar anything that is
not in nature and spirit a monopoly
The president indicated this when il
was pointed out that sweeping pro-
hibition Of holding companies would
naturally affect concerns which had
been required to organize subsidiary
companies to comply with certain
state laws.
The president let il be known that
where such a business was being car.
! ried on by practically the same cor
poration there would be no restriction.
( With respect 10 the proposed inter.
| state trade commission. the president
| cleared up various impressions of it by
saying it would not be an administra.
! tive body but one of publicity and in
! formation.
