Interstate Commerce Commission
Hearing Adjourns to an Unde-
termined Future Date.

Disclosures of details of losses to
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
railway through financial operations
were made to the interstate commerce
commission yesterday by witnesses in
timately identified with the trensac-
tons.
b. F. Yoakum, who participated
actively in the sale of the Frisco lines
to the Rock Island. and who subse-
quently repurchased the Frisco for
himself and associates, described. in
detail. the negotiations which resulted
in loss to the Rock Island of ap-
proximately $7,5O0,OO0.
Yoakum Suggests Partnership.
Mr.. Yoakum also gave. incidentally
and briefly. his views on such SUPER
vision as he believed the government
ought to exercise over railroads. His
idea is that copartnership ought to
exist between the government and the
railroads by which each should have a
share in the responsibilities and in the
earnings. He thought one of the great
achievements of the present national
administration was it's decision to con-
Struct and operate railroads in Alaska
through the testimony of J. N. Wal
lace. president of the Central Trust
Company. New York, it was shown
there is strong probab ility that the Sc
curities of the two Rock Island hold
ing companies would be wiped out alb
solutely. and that every dollar invest
ed in them would be lost. AS trustee
of the bondholders. the Central Trust
Company is pressing for the sale OF
the Rock Island stock held as security
for it's bonds. The sale of this stock
would eliminate the securities of the
holding companies as a factor of any
value.

LAWYERS DIVIDED

PERSONALITIES ENLIVEN
MEETING OF ATTORNEYS
Crandal Mackey Denounces Two
Members Of Nominating Board
as Corporate Agents.

Enlivened by frequent personalities
and an attack on the personnel of the
nominating committee, on the ground
that two of its members represented
large corporate interests. the meeting
yesterday afternoon of the District of
Columbia Bar Association, called for
the purpose of indorsing three candi-
dates, one of whom would be accepta-

minated in a decision not to recon-
mend any particular District lawyer
for appointment to the vacancy, but
to urge the selection of District man.
The meeting was one of the stormiest
the association has ever held. Attor-
ney Crandal Mackey took exception
to the personnel of the committee
which brought in the nominations OF
Clarence R. Wilson. Joseph w. cox
and Charles c. Tucker.
He was called to order both from the
chair and the floor when he sought to
designate the meeting as one hostile
to the candidacy of a lawyer promi-
nently mentioned as having the favor
of the President.
II, for one said Mr.. Mackey, will
not indorse man for position on the
bench of the District Supreme Court
who has the o: X of such corporate
representatives"
Will Appeal to Press.
Clarence r. Wilson, president of the
association, who previously had re-
quested the withdrawal of his name.
called the speaker to order. Mr.. Mackey
insisted on being heard. and when
denied, promised to speak to "a larger
audience through the press"
Later. H. Prescott Galley. in making
motion, referred to what he called a
disturbing element" in the meeting. and
Mr.. Mackey again arose to a point of
personal privilege, and attempted to
answer the suggestion as having been
directed at him. On a point of order
he was again requested by the chair to
desist from personalities.
The report of the nominating commit
tee was tabled and the committee dis
charged. The associations action, that
President Wilson be requested and urged
to fill the vacancy from among the men,
bership of the District bar, was taken
on motion of Attorney James S. Easily

Ed FOR BIG SPRING
OPENING.

The j. Rosentnal Co. have on dis
play at their spring opening the most
complete lines that this store has ev
er shown. The management is Justly
proud of the big and stylish stocks
that they purchased fol the benefit OF
their host of customers. They have
everything that any one in any family
could want for any purpose
For the women, the store is show
ing an extensive line of all kinds of
silks that are said to be going to be
very popular this season. It is show
ing moires, dainty foulards, silk pop
Inns, tango chiffons, and taffetas in all
shades and colors. There are also
popular priced dresses in beautiful
crepes and voiles.
Another feature that will attract
the attention of every one is the big
lines Of shoes for ladies and children.
They are the latest in the footwear
world, and the proprietors are throw
ing them on the market at bargain
prices.
For the men and boys, the store

swept the feminine world before.
The hats, for the most part, are
small to medium size. There are
none a yard wide. OF every conceiv
able shape and style, they are lovely
creations, with tendency to height
rather than width. There are chic
turbans, with beautiful tips at the
side and back. There are straws
frilled and ornamented, some fiat
while others are more rounded. The
names of the hats are really more ex.
IRENE than the styles. They range
from the Peg O. My Heart" to the
Blanche Ring" from the "Harem" to
the Windmill"
The suits and dresses are fuller
than last season. Their lines are not
so close and form fitting. The coats
are cut full and have wide, faring
sleeves. All the new skirts are larg-
er and wider across the hips. Most
of them are fluted and ruffled across
the top. The New York and Paris
modistes have abandoned the Russian
effects and have substituted the loose
Japanese styles.
Some of the skirts even verge on
the old time hustle effect by reason Of
the drapery that is arranged at the
top. One of the most popular models
is the peg top skirt, which affects
some of the fullness that was the
vogue in the mems trousers some
time ago. Separate skirts and waists,
according to the fashion authorities,
will be extremely popular this season.
They are in all colors and shades.
Only the trained eye of woman
could have seen and appreciated all
of the beautiful effects that were
shown in such profusion and splendor
at all the Columbia stores and shops.
The latter were crowded from morn
ing till night, and even then it was
impossible for all the models to be
seen. All, however, were unanimous
in their approval of the new styles,
and loud in their praise Of the selec-
tons which the buyers of the various
stores had purchased in such quanti-
ties and of so high a quality. They
were a unit in voicins the sentiment
that it was entirely unnecessary for
any woman to go away from Colum-
bia to buy any article of wearing ap-
parel. The stocks are so full and of
such infinite variety that few of the
larger cities have larger or more elab-
crate displays of all feminine wants.
