NEW YORK, July 11.--A great deal
of talk has been occasioned by the
protest made by the women at the
General Federation Of Women's Clubs
in Chicago, recently against the
modern styles. The resolution stated
that the clothes worn we're extreme.
immodest and lacking in beauty. This
was signed by 10000 women. A
deputation of women we're appointed
in each district to interview the
manufacturers and dressmakers and
request them to design and make
simpler and more modest dresses.

Latest reports from New York assert
that the study of the Japanese dances
has been taken up as Lenten diver
sion, and that they are fast becoming
popular.
When one considers that this is
very commendable step toward the
classic dance, which the tango and the
Maxixe have nearly crowded out. and
that the chosen japanese dances are
beautiful and suitable for Lent. the
dancing project begins to look less mad.
But. as is the case with almost every
thing that is very good. the japanese

SUPERIOR OPPOSES
LAKE LEVEL RAISE
FEAR THAT PROPOSED PROJECT
WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF
MILLIONS.
OBJECT TO DAM IN ST. MARY'S
Believe Wind Would Cause nundation
OF Docks at Superior and Duluth
and Drown Much Valuable
Property.

uperior.-Through its CONNER
cial club the city Of Superior has
gone on record as unalterably oppos-
ed to raising the level of Lake Super
ior by means of a power dam in St.
Mary's river at Sault Ste. Marie. The
fight may have to be carried to the
floor OF congress as 1t is said that
body favors the proposed project,
says the Superior Telegram.
The seriousness of the matter is
discussed by Capt e. d. Peck, in
charge of the United States engineers
for the local district. He states:
1.-The lake levels as proposed have no
relation to abnormal conditions Of
lake level as produced by barometric
pressure, direction and velocity Of
the wind, but relate to a normal level
only"
This means, that in addition to
having the level of the lake raised
two feet for five months of the year,
there would still remain to be con-
sidered the additional raise in the
harbor water levels caused by the
conditions alluded to by Capt. Peck.
At the present time during a north
east gale, the water level in the har-
Dor is frequently as much as eigh-
teen inches, and even more, above
the normal level.
With the normal level two feet
higher to begin with, and this I'M
usual height caused by the wind driv-
ing the water from the lake into the
harbor the level would be nearly four
feet higher than the present normal
level. This would be sufficient to in
undate practically every dock on the
Superior and Duluth water front.

MURPHY RESIGNS;
TAFT owns CUBS
Chlcagoan Compelled to Quit
Baseball by Chiefs.
EVERS AFFAIR WAS CAUSE
AutocratIc Methods Long Pursued
Had Made Him Unpopular With
Fans-Leaves Game
for Good.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Charles Webb
Murphy has sold his stock in the Chi
cago National league club (the Cubs)
and has resigned as president and d.
rector of that organization. His hold
ings in the Chicago club have been
purchased by Charles p. Taft.
An announcement carrying the news
that Mr.. Murphy had sold out and quit
the game was made in Cincinnati Sat
urday following a meeting between
Gov. John K Tener of Pennsylvania,
president Of the National league, Mr..
Taft, Harry Ackerlund Of Pittsburgh,
a stakeholder in the Chicago club, and
John Conway Toole, director Of the
Boston National league club and le-
gal adviser to the National league.
There have been various reports as
to the amount of money that would be
required to buy out Murphy's control
of the club. Some have set the figure
at 100000; others at $750,000 Frank
Chances ten per cent. OF the stock In
the Cubs was bought by Alderman
when Chance quit for 100000.
The crisis which forced Mr.. Murphy
out of the control of the Cubs devel-
oped II days ago, when Murphy sud
denly deposed John Evers as manager
of the club and named in his place
Hank O'Day, the National league UNI
pire.
The manner in which Evers was
bounced" stirred up an unprecedented
food of criticism, which recalled Muir
phys earlier action in getting rid OF
Frank Chance, and there arose gen.
eral demand that Murphy get out o.
the game.
The withdrawal Of Murphy came
after a four-hour conference In Gin
cinnati solving a situation that had
grown decidedly delicate in National
league circles. While the conference
was in session the presidents of seven
National league clubs were also meet
ing and discussing the possibility of an
amicable adjustment Of the Evers case.
Charles w. Murphy's career as
baseball magnate extended over
period Of little more than eight years.
DQrlnS tDaI lllDe he Bdllleu Hioi hoIo
riety than any club owner ever had in
the history Of the game. His career
was one sensation after another but
all the time he prospered. In the eight
years his team won four pennants and
two worlds championships, Twice
the team finished second in the Nation
al league race and twice it landed in
third place. In the fall Of 1905 Murphy
got control of the Cubs when, with the
aid of his hacker; Charles p. Taft, he
purchased the club from James A.
Hart for $105,000. The esason was
nearly over and Murphy acted as head
of the club for the last few weeks
only. The team finished third that
year and defeated the White Sox in a
post.season series. That victory start
ed Murphy on a series of conquests
that made him a rich man, and during
the next three years the Cubs made
a reputation of being the greatest ball
team of all time.
