Mining Man Shot From Ambush.

Walsenburg. Colo, Feb. l5.-William
Dick, 40, director of the First National
Bank of Walsenburg. one of the own
ers of the Oakview coal mine and a
partner in the ownership of the Huer-
fano and Pinon Trading Companies,
which supply a chain of stores
throughout southern Colorado, was
shot from ambush and instantly killed,
four miles from WalseHburg, Saturday
afternoon, while driving to the Oak.
view mine with $4,000 in cash to be
used in paying the men.
Dick was at the wheel of big ma
chine when the shots were fired from
behind a bridge, about fifty feet away.
He was struck by the first bullet and
released his bold upon the wheel. The
car, which was travelling rapidly, ca
reened, crashed through an irrigating
ditch and turned upon its side. The
assassins, who until that time had
been concealed behind the bridge. then
ran to his side and searched his pock-
cts. The turning over of the car un.
doubtedly saved the cash, as the
money was pinned beneath the rear
seat, where it had been concealed.
Gabriel l.. Murphy, a Walsenburg liv-
eryman, was the only witness to the
crime. He was driving toward the
mine, about half a mile behind Dick,
when he heard the shots. Looking up,
he saw the car dash from the road and
turn over. Two men, he says, sprang
from the bridge and ran to the
wrecked machine. Murphy then turned
his horse about and drove at break
neck speed to Walsenburg. where he
notified Sheriff Jeff Farr, and posses
were organized, which secured the
hills, and are believed to be closing in
on the assassins from three sides

bone or a flexible reed in the bottom
of a bouffant silk skirt. Sometimes
crinoline is resortcd to.
Will Hoops Come Again?
And in this country, too, the full
skirt is gaining favor all the time. An
interesting blue taffcta frock which
was recently worn at luncheon at one
OF the smart hotels was made with
several rufflcs on the skirt, each
edged with binding OF black patent
leathcr-a fabric which very effect
lvcly kept the ruff1cs in prominence.
And a whalebone in the satin or silk
lining or foundation OF net and lace
evening frocks is not at all unusual.
There has been some interest in
the skirt that is held out just below
the hips with whalebone. but as
yet the Silhouette thus produced is
not at all usual
Almost as noticeable as the grow
ing tendency for hoop-likc skirts is
the growing tendency to make tn.

outline. Sometimes it is made with

the lower edge is scalloped. and
sometimes It is longer at the sides

Already there has been a meeting
of American manufacturers TO discuss
the skirt of next autumn. Most OF us

facturers to plan our winter ward

ing thin frocks their plans arc under
execution.
In their discussion they reached
the decision to make the skirts OF

about last year. There is a charm
about it that persists. and in some
ways it fits in with the fashions Of
any period. And evidently the design
ers, having revived this line of the
Middle Ages. do not want to forget
1t. They work over it and expert
ment with it and, presumably. hope
that they will find more in it to help
them in their ceaseless task OF finding
something new in womens clothes
something new to the generation
which takes it up, but something nee
eSsarily old to the world.
Pockets Still.
The pocket, like the Moyen Age
silhouette, is still in evidence. There
is distinct trimming value in the
pocket The people who are work
ing over the Polymuriel idea-an idea
to evolve universal costume for
women-plan TO have a pocket an es-
sential part OF this new frock. 1t is
TO be pocket OF usefulness. But
the pocket that adorns the frock of
today IS not useful. 1t is purely and
highly ornamental.
There are little patch pockets on
blouSeS for sports wear. and there
are patch pockets OF various sorts on
jackets and coats. Then there are
the skirt pockets OF all sorts. There
is the slash pocket that made its ap-
pearance with peg top skirts-a pocket
in which the hands are sometimes
thrust. And there are various sorts
OF patch or applied pockets on the
skirt.
Pockets on wash skirts for sum-
mer wear give a distinct air of
smartness, and afford all the TRIM
ming these useful skirts need.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-05-02

with full skirts, to be sure, but
the fulness was not much stiffened,
and hence fell in folds about the fig
ure. And there were other skirts
| that were draped and pleated and
folded rather narrowly about the
ankles. In fact, when their wearers
stepped, they stretched the lower
line of the skirt quite to its capacity.
However. these new skirts were in no
way suggestive OF the narrow skirts
of year or so ago. They employed
yards of material, but it was clev-
erly manipulated in folds and drap-
cry so that the semblance of narrow
ness at the ankles was attained with
out real narrowness in measurement
But there are always two parts to
the introduction of a style. The
dressmakers and designers must first
advance the style, then the public
must accept it. And the public
seems to be willingly accepting the
very full skirt. 1t finds this skirt be-
coming. novel and easy to wear At
the Southern resorts in this country
and on the Riviera in France, where
some of the normal French fashion
and gayety have congregated, the full
skirt. often stiffened to emphasize
its fulness, has been taken up with
enthusiasm.
At Monte Carlo, to which Caruso's
appearance in his familiar operate
roles has drawn fashionable women
from Paris, London and Italy, there
have been many interesting frocks
with moderately short. full skirts
held out by various devices. Some
times dress with many fcunces

next autumn wide, moderately short
and to emphasize the irrcgularity OF
the lower cdgc-by scallops, points
and other devices. So it is a wise
woman who selects her spring frocks
with the dictui.. OF the manufacture
ers OF autumn clothes in mind. AT
least she need not choose anything
that will look impossible by Septem-
Der.
OF course, there are those persist
ent August openings in Paris to
reckon with. Paris, by the way, has
definitely announced that the Au-
gust openings will take place as US
ual, and many buyers are planning
to attend them. But the American
manufacturers know how to follow
style tendencies as well as do the
Paris designers, and their decision
about next autumn's skirt will doubt
less hold good
An imported frock, by Jeanne Lam
shops the other day, is made OF Geor-

round buttonholes worked on beside
another all the way around the wide
width OF the skirt. The foundation
skirt of silk is worked in the same
way. And the result, of course, is ir-
regular-fringe-like in appearance.
The work, as we'll as the general sill
houette OF the frock, suggests the
days when ladies in hoop skirts found
much time to bend over exacting en-
broidery.

WASHINGTON. Feb. High officials
OF the Administration disclamed to-day
any knowledge that Col. II. NJ. House
has been sent to Europe on a mission
relating to the restoration OF peace. II
was said authoritatively that Col
House had gone abroad for the purpose
Of working out a scheme for coordinate
ing the relief work in Belgium and that
so FAR as was known his mission did
not involve any plan on President Will
sons part for making peace proposals
to the helligerent Governments.
No details concerning Col. Houses
prospective activities in connection with
relief abroad could be secured The fact
only was admitted by a Government
official who said that details were OBJ
tainable only Mt the White House. The
White House authorities refused to make
any statement on the subject.
For some days It has been known in
Washington that Col. House contem-
plated making trip to Europe and re-
ports 10 this effect gave rise to sup
positions that he would sound the
Powers In behalf of the President on
the question of peace Though these
reports have been denied II is the under
standing that Col. House will make n

and report in full to the President. He
