sT6FPIVG TaI1 1rAvARIsFNTTE IIIEGALITY

UDGE WILLIAM H. WILLIAMS showed a D disposition to understand perfectly. the basic principles underlying the frantic eagerness of the proponents of Warrenite in the municipal government, to expend $16O,OOO Of public money for that pavement.
 To the repeated suggestions of the mum erouss counsel for Warren Bros. that the word pavement in the statute creating the paving commission, should be understood in it's techni- cal, engineering sense, Judge Williams oppos- ed his view, by far the more usual, that the word should be interpreted according to it's or dinary meaning
 The significanc9 of the technical interpre- tation of the language would be the. classifica tions of pavenents on a concrete base as per- manent, and others as not permanent War renite is not on a concrete base, and conse- quently would not be permanent, and would not be within the jurisdiction of the paving com mission.
 Those who are familiar with the history. of the act creating the paving comnnis ssion, know that it's frarners intended to take from tn e common council the power to lay all pavements not vvaterbound macadanl.
 Up to the enactment of the paving comnlis- sion statute the council could do anything it wished to the streets of Bridgeport, and did i" " Mr. Nicholson, counsel for the plaintiff, to the court

 BUYING WITHOUT COMPETITION WAS BAD FOR NEW HAVEN SYSTEM AND IS EQUALLY BAD FOR BRIDGEPORT
rW IE IMITATION Of raiI

q ID EXPIRATION of railroad methods in Bridgeport is not confined to the as sertion that large deDt means prosperity. The further proposition is made that city will be best served when goods are bought of favored individuals in large amounts, without competi- ton, or bidding.
 Tn ascertaining the conditions which have brought New Haven stockholders to grief the interstate commerce commission has shown the part in the disaster that was occasioned by the enormous growth of the systems debt, and has devoted several paragrap phs of it's report to discussing the effects of large purchases with out bids The report says

 Locomotives purchased from a company in supplies by the New Haven were from companies having directors directors of obIeatlons friendshp tend to obscure
 Like Bridgeport, the New Haven system, had established system of concentrated purchas- ing authority. Gradually the functions of this authority were usurped by those who were it's creators The directors sold their own goods to the company for which they were trustees, goods were bought of favored persons without competition.
 Before the investigation and before the facts were made public there was no limit to the verbal justification of these unwarranted and dangerous methods. But the smoke was there and, as in most such cases, there was fire be- hind the smoke.
 The purchasing authority in Bridgeport has been concentrated in the board of purchase and supply, which was created with flourish of trumpets to buy everything the city should need. Certain boards, the Board of Educa- ton, which has never, been involved in scan dal regarding the expenditure of public money, refpsed to come under the new method, and were thoroughly castigated.
 Presently it appeared that the contract board was too virtueus to meet the taste of it's friends. Some members, rather than submit

Chicago, July 25-'IndustriaI un- rest exists in America, but there is a great exaggeration of present condt- tions.

 President Wilson's letter ordering ,1le department of justice to proceed against tho New Haven directors civilly and crinainally
 This action is in line with President NTil- sons entire policy in office He is silent, delib- crate, but certain. Civil proceedings will look to the separation of the New Haven steam rnad system from it's subsidiaries Criminal pro- ceedings will look to the punishment of the in dividuals by whom the New Haven has been brought to its present straits.
 How necessary it is that criminal proceed ings should be brought will appear from inc opinion of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion, which, after Investigating carefully all the facts said:

 Questionable methods were employed to increase the capital stock of the company. Ac- counts were manipulated. Dividends were paid by juggling with subsidiary companies.
 Large purchases were made without bids Enormous political contributions were wrongfully made from the property of the stockholders.
 The directors were consciously engaged in the creation of a monopoly by methods the na- ture of which must have been familiar to them
 Under these conditions the president sees but one alternative. As punishment for what has been done, and protection from similar wrongs in the future he invokes the power of justice existing in the criminal law, and pro- claims that the guilty must face the conse- quences of their deeds.

Of primary receipts was 2,674,OO0
bushels compared with 1.259,O00 bush

not quite SO liberal and the total of
wheat and -four equalled $4,000
bushels, of this amount 116, 900 BUSH

introduced in the evening gowns for
spring, standing out at the back to
lend a modified hustle effect, while
tasse1s hang from every available spot
on most the Paris frocks.
The heavy brocsdes and satins of
the winter have Of course given place
to the lightest and most delicate of
materials because these are better for
dancing, and the pale tints used are
deliciously spring-like, but borders
and patterned materials are as much
in favor as the palmer fabrics even
for the evening gown. .5
The couture which is now fashion
able for evenings instead of being low
and fluffy, is distinctly high, and the
line of cheek, chin and throat must
no longer be hidden by hair, but re-
vealed plainly. Paris and London have
both adopted the fashion of wearing
the hair on top Of the head in the
evening, with brilliant combs of an
old Spanish size, to hold it in place,
and narrow bands OF gems across the
brows, a fashion that means tidy hair
even after a whole evenings dancing.
Evening wraps, too, show changes
this year, the lightweight ones for
spring having lost all semblance to
coat shape, and are really no more
than draped capes which fasten across
the breast with straps. There are even
new versions of the old golf cape
seen, though most OF the wraps are
drawn up between the shoulders,
front and back, or have deep simu1at-
ed hoods made by the drapings and
ending with long t~assels.

LOOSE

The newest sleeves are really rU
more nor less than the familiar Rago-
aan, made in one piece instead of
with a top seam. For chiffon and
lace blouses it is usually hemstitched
into the body Of the corsage, the
seams running into the belt OF the
blouse.
The sleeve is cut somewhat like the
familiar kirnono, so that there is no
semblance of fit under the arm. But
this is as the wearer may choose. In
many cases the armhole Of the sleeve
extends to the belt, and whef, the
arm is dropped the material fails into
a little bunch below the belt-line.
This has one advantage. though. In
the present craze for chiffon, q
blouse will not wear ont under the
arms, as it would were the sleeve
