Benny's Merry Christmas ARTHUR E. :. STRONG

III did not seem like the oath Of
December. Instead Of snowy
streets filled with eager Christ
mas shoppers and bright eyed
children, there was the bleak and
struggling Chinese thoroughfare. In
place Of the suggestive spicy scents of
spruce trees and evergreen wreaths
and the glow Of holly berries. there
were the multifarious odors Of the orr
entail city and the CLEAN of swinging
red and gold signboards overhead. The
weather was cold, and the sun was
hidden by clouds.
Benny Farwell felt very homesick as
he went back to the wharf where lay
the big river steamer Of which he was
the second officer. Benny had an espe-
cial grievance. 1t had been promised
that he could return to the United
States and marry Ethel Lister, and 1t
had been his unpleasant duty to write
and tell his sweetheart that the we'd
ding must be postponed until spring
because of certain changes in the man.
agement of the steamship company
that quite unceremoniously transferred
him to another steamer plying up the
Yangtze river. The only consolation
was that the change meant promotion
for Benny. He had not heard from
Ethel since sending his letter early In
October-and everything was wrong.
'Confound it air. he yelled desper-
ately when he reached the wharf and
discovered that the Chino had sailed
without him. He looked at his watch
and found that there were two hours
to spare before the announced sailing
time of the big steamer. Why had
Captain Davies sailed without him?
What could have happened to send the
Chino down the river so suddenly?
There appeared to be no unfriendly
demonstration among the natives on
the wharf.
He remembered with a feeling Of I'M
easiness that it had been Captain Da-
vies who had suggested that the sec
ond officer go ashore and try to dis
cover a few foreign dainties for the
Christmas dinner. Get a wedding
cake If you can," the captain had add
ed, with grim humor, and, although
the jibe hurt. Benny had grinned good
naturally. He had been successful in
his search Except for the cake) as was

heels.

SMART N GOWNS.
Up to Date Creations For the New
Years Dinners or Dances.

. = INV VI III
Much interest Is now centered on
gowns In dressy styles suitable for
dances. for informal dinner parties and
for dressy afternoon functions. says the
Dry Goods Economist. Models made
for any of these affairs usually come
under the classification OF dancing
frocks, as even the afternoon gown is
nov pr~etentious enough to wear at an
informal evening gathering.
Many of these afternoon gowns are
made Of the softest finished satins. of
velvet or of satin combined with chif-
fon or net. The sleeves In most cases
are transparent. and the collars are
made OF soft laces, high In the back,
with low open finish in front.
Over the snug fitting Innings volumi-
nous TUNES are hung, the most ex-
IRENE of which reach within two inch
es of the skirt edge. The waist line Is
normal or Slightly raised to n point
Just under the line Of the bust. The
hip girdles are gradually being displac-
ed by the higher or more normal waist
finish.
For dancing frocks> many other soft
materials are used. such as net. chif-
fon, fine taffetas. pliable satin and
laces. The pastel shades dominate, but
white is a big seller.

NEW AVENUE To
DISCUSS SHIP
PURCHASE BILL

Special by United Press Wire.
Washington, Feb. 9:-Whh the
avowed object of adopting a rule so
sensational that it would center the
whole attention on the present SEN
ate filibuster against a ship purchase
bill. the measures friends only sue
ceeded today following an all night
speech by Jones in opening up new
avenue for discussion. 1t was Sena-
tor Reeds proposal that the lawmak-
ers should be kept in the chamber
constantly unless personally excused
as long as the senate continued i'll
session. The adoption of such rule
would have forced a vote as soon as
the flibusterers physical endurance
had reached the breaking point. The
rule was made at presenting a resort
to the relay system of prolonging the
contests.
After an hour of parliamentary
skirmishes a vote was taken on the
question whether the Reed proposal
was debatable or should be decided
Immediately by vote.
Senator Jones continued his
speech in the Republican filibuster
against the ships purchase bill
all nlght, althOugn senator Weehs'
OF Massachusetts,, and one or
two other faithful colleagues, were
ready to jump into the trenches at
any moment.
Senator Jones all night refused aid
and conducted the filibuster alone.
At 1880 O'Clock senators began to
straggle in refreshed by their slum-
bers on the camp cots. Senator
Jones had reached the general sub
ject of navigation laws after con-
fning his night talk entirely to gem
eral ship purchase bill subject.
The senator did not resort to the
relief measure of having part of his
remarks read by the desk clerks, nor
did he require food or stimulants.
Occasionally he called for page boy
to bring a pitcher of water from
which he eased strained vocal cords.

URGES PASSAGE e
Of LABOR BILLS
IN LEGISLATURE
special to the EVENING NEWS.

Specidl to the EVENING NE WIS.
Trenton, Feb. 9.-Charging that
workmen were hired under false pre-
lenses and brought to Roosevelt,
MiddIesex county, during the recent
strike troubles there, Henry A. Hill
fers, secretary of the state Fedora
tion of Labor, urged the labor and
industries committee of the assem-
bly, to report favorably house bill
No. 66, by Assemblyman Quinn, of
Middlesex, regulating the employ
ment of strike breakers through ad-
vertising. The measure prohibits
any employer from hiring any person
during strikes through advertising,
without stating in the advertisement
that a strike exists. Other labor
leaders of the state supported Mr..
Hilfers in advocating the passage of
the Quinn bill. They claimed that
there had been cases where men
were hired without knowing there
was a strike, were brought into the
factory and forcibly kept there.
Urge Passage of Three Labor Bills.
The labor men also urged the
passage of the other three Quinn la
Dor bills, one prohibiting injunctions
against workJ~tn in labor disputes
except property values be endanger-
ed. this bill being modelled after the
Massachusetts law and the Clayton
law passed by congress; another CIV
ing one day of rest in seven for en-
ployes, with certain exceptions, and
the other one providing that the pre-
vailing rate of wages must be paid on
public work In each locality.
The argument against the bills
was led by James A. Emery, counsel
for the American Manufacturers AS
sociation. He charged that the anti
injunction bill was much stronger
than either the Massachusetts act or
the Federal statute. Alan H. Strong,
of New Brunswick, counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroad, and Duane E.
Minard, counsel for the Erie rail-
road, also opposed the measures.
claiming they were not needed, as la
Dor was already sufficiently protect
ed in these particulars. and that they
would work hardship on large en-
ployers, such as the railroad eomDa-
nies- Other speakers opposed tn
bill also.
