Flowers on Spring Hats.

To be sure, there are several new
features and several other features
which are merely developments of the
present modes. For one thing, flowers
are going to be used widely On the
spring hats. At the beginning of this
last winter there was an effort made
on the part of some of the most ex-
elusive milliners and designers to
bring in this floral popularity, but the
attempt fell rather fiat and was subse-
quently dropped. With the passage of
the bill placing duty on certain kinds
of feather fantasies, however, the ulti-
mate vogue of the flower was made
certain. Paris accepted the inevitable,
or rather she is accepting it. She did
not do it willingly at first. 1t is little
hard to charge the same exorbitant
price for fantastic flower that one
can charge for a fantastic feather.
The value of the first is much more
easily seen and realized by even the
most reckless and extravagant woman
than is the worth Of the second.
Now, though, since the arrival OF
flowers has become an established
fact, milliners are considering the
varied kinds and combining them in
different ways and with different ma
terials in order to obtain the prettiest
and most becoming effects. And flow
crs are becoming, too They are be
coming to almost any type of woman
and to women OF all ages. There is
something in their simplicity which
never offends. They do not rise to the
heights achieved by feather fantasies,
nor do they stretch out to widths
reached by plumes and pompons.
Panamas Elaborate Affairs
There are so far few flower novel
ties which startle in any way. They
may be found on almost any part OF
the hat. at the sides nesting against

WOMAN ON FRONT STEPS,
THIEVES STEAL JEWELRY
$1,000 in Rings and Brooch Taken
From Bureau.

More than $1,000 worth OF jeweiry was
stolen from the home OF Mrs. Pickard, Of
1905 North Thirteenth street, by thieves
while she was standing on the front
steps of her home shortly before noon to-
day.
The thieves jumped the back fence and
broke open the kitchen door with screw
driver, then ransacked every bureau on
the second and third floors. The Jewels,
which consisted OF several rings and a
valuable brooch which had been a family
heirloom, were taken from the third floor
front room.
Mrs. Pickard in going into her hons
found that the back door had been forced
open and Immediately gave the alarm.
Going at once to the bureau where she
had kept her rings, Mrs. Pickard dis
covered that all had been stolen. The
police OF the Twentieth and Berks streets
station were notified and an investigation
of the premises made.
The work, according to the police was
TINT of experts, who lost no time I'm

of the belief that the robbers, seeing the
woman standing on the front steps, de-
cided to enter the house.

Revolver shots. fred the police believe,
by rival gangmen at Tenth and Spring

Pedestrians who witnessed the shoot

preaching Tenth street from opposite di-

saloon, whipped out revolvers and fired
several shots at each other. Then they
disappeared.
A panic followed the shooting. which
had come without a moments warming
Persons with visions of a Tong war ran
screaming into doorways; women backed

their children behind them. Several

BROKEN LEG GIRLS ONLY
INJURY IN 3-ST0RY FALL
Beauty of italian Colony Was Hang
ing Clothes on Roof.

A fall of three stories from the roof
of her home today resulted only in
broken leg to Miss Catherine, Cruclo, lS
years old, 1882 South Eighth street. a
beauty of the Italian colony. She was
hanging clothing to dry when a railing
at the edge of the roof gave way.
Miss Crucio's brother, John, heard her
cry as she fell to the ground. He rushed
from the house and found his sister un-
conscious and bleeding in the yard. With
a friend he carried her to the Seventh
and Carpenter streets police station
From here she was taken to the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital.
Physicians regarded ii as miraculous
that Miss Crucio was not killed by her
fall and that her only injury was a
broken leg She was leaning against the
rail- with her hands stretched to
clothesine above her head, when the
woodwork snapped.
The girl had volunteered to hang the
clothing for her mother.

1.-THE Government to buy all American
securities owned abroad and which may
be offered for sale during the 60 DAYS
rext succeeding October at prices which
may be agreed upon by committee made
made up of representatives of the New
York Stock Exchange, investment bond
houses banks and members OF Congress.
Said committee to have entire authority
to act in the matter of purchase and ar
rangement of all details.
Securities so bought to be pledged by
the Government as security for an issue
OF ten-year bonds. maturing serially, and
one-tenth of such collateral to be sold
each year. to provide for the payment of
these bonds.
THAT until this committee considers
conditions sufficiently normal it shall be
a misdemeanor to buy, sell. transfer give
or accept as collateral, shares of stock
or evidence of indebtedness extending
over one year. unless accompanied by
certificate showing that the owner is a
United States citizen, and that such Sc
curities have been owned by United
States citizens since July 30 1914

does not apply to securities bought by
the United States Government In accord
ance with the first paragraph"

amount of foreign investments in Ameri-
can securities Is estimated at from $1,000
100000 to $4,000, ,O0o,O 900. of which probably
frorn 20 to 40 per cent would be offered
for sale the moment the Stock Exchange
of the country would open. In other
words, using this approximate estimate as
a basis, it would take from 81 ,O0O, ,OOO, 900
TO 50, ,5OO, 100000 to finance the sale of these
securities. and in the estimation of Mr..
Elliot no aggregation of banks or banking
houses could handle a proposition of this
magnitude. The National Government
could, he pointed out.
If the Government bond proposition
meets the approval of bankers generally,
meetings will be held in the large Eastern
cities and an energetic campaign out
lined.

RAPID TRANSIT TO DEFEND
ITSELF BY STATEMENTS
Agitators Want Increased Property
Values, Steckholder Saws.

Caustic criticism directed at supporters
of Director Taylor's transit plans was
voiced today at the annual meeting Of
stockholders of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company by Frederick Vert
heimer, 1914 North Franklin street. He
said the only persons who wanted SUBJ
ways and elevated roads were property
holders. who thought such improvements
would increase the value of their real
estate.
Mr.. Wertheimer Is holder of both
Philadelphia Rapid Transit and Union
Traction Company stock. He said in his
opinion, too much criticism was being di-
rected by Philadelphians against the
management of street car lines. He in
cluded Director Taylor and the business
men among these critics and offered a
motion to appoint a Publicity Committee,
which should make answer through a
press agent to what he termed alta acks
on the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany system.
DR.. William ]. O'Brien offered ali
amendment eliminating the press agent
and suggesting that the company give
out statements in the future as it had
In the past. The motion with the amend
ment was carried
More than 10 persons were present at
the meeting. A total of 4S4, ,469 shares Of
stock were voted. Two directors whose
terms expired this year were reelected
to serve for four years. They were
Thomas e. Mitten, the present managing
director of the company. and John S.
Phipps.
Mr.. Wertheimer's remarks came just
as the meeting was about to adjourn and
were unexpected.
"I do not see why all these improve
ments suggested by Director Taylor are
necessary" said he. 81 think the Phlla-
delphia Rapid Transit Company has done
enough for the people of this city, and
II is high time 1t ceased making improve
ments.
1.-The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany is the best operated street car sys-
tenn in the country today, and 1t receives
nothing but continual complaint and
criticism from its patrons. Let the peo-
pie give the company a breathing spell.
"The only reason 1 can see why there
Is such a cry and demand for subways
and elevated lines Is because property
holders expect to reap n harvest In in
creased real estate values. AS far as
suburban equipment is concerned l think
this decidedly unnecessary. because the
lines to the extreme sections of the city
are used to a great extent only twice a
day-when persons are going to and
returning from their places of employ
ment. The rest of the day they are not
operated at a profit to the company"
William NJ. Coates offlciated as chair
man of the meeting and r. B. Selfridge
acted al secretary. The minutes OF the
last meeting were read and approved.
Director Taylor this afternoon replied
to Wertheimer II am not going to chase
every piece of red herring" he said,
which may be drawn across the path
TO success
