Valentine Says Morse Showed Form
AMSTERDAM NaWS


Because our enthusiasm may be
laid by some to the fact that Morse
is eolored and therefore a hero with
us, we refrain from intense desire
to let our typewriter click in praise
of the colored flyer and let Howard
Valentine OF the Evening Globe
sporting staff tell the story in bis
own unprejudiced way. List
The bright, particular star of
the Michelin games was that little
colored lad from Harlem named
Roy Morse. 1t was Morse's first
j in form appearance in the East
since he triumphed in the 22o-yard
senior championship at San Fran
cisco, and he showed us we'll how
he outran the best sprinters in the
land at the exposition track. Morse
was bit nervous and broke twice.
This put him two yards behind the
scratch, but when he finally got
going to fair start he picked up
beautifully and qualified handily in
10 Is seconds. AS Morse was
running 1o2 yards, this was practi-
cally a ten-second performance.
In the final, Morse removed all
doubt as to his ability to do evens.
The colored flyer came along with
a tremendous rush in the last IS
yards, and won the closest kind of
a decision from Lippincott of the
Knights of St. Anthony, who ran
off seven yards. Sylvester John.
ston, the Knights star dasher,
who started from one and half
yards, was third, scarcely IS inches
back. 1t was rafting finish"
At the same meet the St. Chris
topher barriers carried their colors
to the front, winning the Medley
relay handicap with Granger, Har-
vey, Stokley, and Richardson.

The suit is of green cloth such as the

are conspicuously large and bound
with green velvet. The long. small

Tones of All the New Spring
Shades Show Subdued Effect
Some Early Hints.

That Paris will present many of
its models in black is we'll understood,
although for the American openings
there will be the colors that no city
in Europe considers today; also, it
is established that the garish combi-
nations to which Paris has been over
prone during the last three years have
vanished for time at least, because
these colors are the children of a
reckless and slightly decadent era, as
every student of dress history knows,
and the world is sad, serious and virile
today.
There is no doubt that the entire
world will follow the lead of France
and garb itself in demure colors, If
not in black. The tones of all the
new spring shades show this subdued
effect and one feels respectfully
toward the fashion, knowing the heart
ache in which it was born. Blues,
pinks, yellows are quiet in shading.

PRIEST, SERVANT
SLAIN IN RECT0RY


New Britain, Conn, Feb. ia
double murder, the circumstances OF
which are yelled in mystery. was dis
covered in the rectory of st. An
drew's Lithuanian Catholic Church
here The victims were the Rev. Jo-
seph zebris and his housekeeper, Miss
Iva E. Gilman. Bullet wounds were
found In both bodies, and ropes had
been tied tightly around their necks.
The priest was 81 and housekeeper
35 years old
Miss Gtlman's body was found in a
room In the attic, the door OF which
was locked and the key broken in the
lock. The priests body was on the
floor Of his study on the first floor.
The rectory had been ransacked, pa
pers and letters being scattered about.
A monkey wrench, Jimmy" and
other tools used by burglars were
found In the house. No revolver was
found. put four empty cartridge shells
were located.
Priest Killed First.
After an investigation local and
State police admitted they were baf
fed, and that they had not unearthed
any tangible clue. From the fact that
the priest had received threatening
letters demanding money, and in view
OF the ransacking Of desk drawers
and cabinets containing private pa
pers, the police lean to the theory that
the motive may have been revenge or
robbery.
The circumstances indicate, the po-
lice say, that the priest was killed
first and that Miss Gilman, hearing
the scuffle and coming to his rescue,
was chased upstairs, shot and stran-
gled. A bullet wound was found in
her arm. A clothes line was tied so
tightly around her neck that strangu-
lation probably was the immediate
cause of death. One of two bullet
wounds in the priests body had pierre
ed the heart. A cord was tied around
his neck also, but in the opinion OF
the police the bullet wounds caused
death.
The doors and windows of the rec.
tory were securely fastened. When
the prizes: failed to attend mass the
parishfoners investigated. A small
boy crawled through cellar window
and discovered the crime.
Evidence il the room where Father
zebris was found indicates he was
given no opportunity to offer resis-
lance. 1t Is believed he was shot first
and then strangled to make sure the
job was finished. A request made by
the priest some time ago, indicating
he felt his life might be taken sud-
denly. was that ''in case anything hap
pens to me let Undertaken Dunlay
take charge"

tremendous vogue this season. They
are particularly suitable to the bust

were seen here. One was a finely

color scheme of the shirt waist. This
was made with high collar--a new

tightly to the throat. Very chic but
boyish in the effect. The other two
blouses were Of dainty handkerchief

COVER FOR THE DECK CHAIR
Practically Necessity When This
Piece of Furtniture Is Given
Place in the House.

Deck chairs are to be found in most
households and they are comfortable
and very inexpensive to buy, but they
are not particularly slightly objects
and. therefore. are more frequently
kept for use in the garden than in a
room. With very little trouble the
appearance of one of these chairs can
be greatly improved when required for
use indoors.
In the first place, the woodwork
should be painted with some quick
drying enamel chosen of color to
harmonic with the other colors in the
room. Then 1t is an easy matter to
make q cover for the chair such as Is
shown La the accompanying sketch.

QUERIES TO KING AND KAISER
ASKS FURTHER INFORMATION ON
USE OF NEUTRAL FLAGS
AND WAR ZONES.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE u. S.
government sent a note to Great Bri-
tain, making friendly observations on
the use by British ships of neutral
flags, and at the same time dispatched
communication to Germany inquir-
ing what steps would be taken by Ger
man naval commanders to verify the
identity of ships flying neutral flags
in the recently proclaimed zones of
war around England and Ireland.
While the Lusitania incident is not
mentioned, the representations to
Great Britain are based on the state
ment OF the British Foreign Office jus-
trying the use OF neutral flags by her
merchantmen to escape capture. The
American government points out how
frequent and continued use of this
stratagem might cast doubt on the
character of vessels really entitled to
dy the American flag and produce
dangers to which neutral ships ought
not be subjected on the high seas and
in unblockaded waters.
In the note to Germany the United
States asks how the German Admiral
ty purposes to carry out in practice its
recent proclamation of a war ON mer-
chant ships. The United States has
made it clear, IL is understood. that an
attack on vessel flying the Ameri-
can nag without first ascertaining de-
initely that such use was fictitious
could not but be viewed gravely by the
American government and bring about
serious complications.
ASKS MORE INFORMATION.
The United States has not fully ex-
pressed itself on the German procla-
nation. however, confining itself for
the present, to an inquiry for more in
formation, on which future representa-
tions may or may not be based.
Both notes, which are to be present
ed by the American ambassadors in
London and Berlin are brief and
couched in friendly spirit. Neither
makes protest. but each points out
how the recent developments may seri,
ouaIy emhar-ass the voyages of neu-
trail ships o. the high seas. which
always have been considered free to
them In times Of war Is well as peace.

to Blame Tor Loss.
Washington, Feb. 13.-The texts OF
the notes despatched by the United
States to the Governments of Great
Britain and Germany were made pub
lie here and prove to be the most Wig
orous assertions of the rights of Am
erica as neutral yet made by this
Government
The communication to Germany is
considerably more severe in tone than
had been generally anticipated. So
strong are the representations Am
bassador Gerard has been instructed
to make to Germany with regard to
her implied intentions as to neutral
shipping in the new war zone" that
they virtually commit the United
States to drastic action IL disregarded
at Berlin.
The United States declares that it
will hold the German Government
to strict accountability for any act
Of its naval officers resulting in the
destruction OF bonafide American ship
ping or the loss of American life. Am
bassador Gerard Will assert that
should a German naval officer act
upon the assumption that the United
States nag was merely a concealment
Of q vessels identity and destroy an
American vessel or American life on
such an assupmtion the United States
would view such an act as an indie
feasible violation of neutrality and not
compatible with the continuance of
friendly relations between tho two
| Governments.
Therefore the United States asks OF
the German Government some assur-
ance that Americans and their vessels
will not be molested upon the high
seas by German naval forces except
through the exercise of the recognized
right Of visit and search. The right
of Americans and their vessels to be
exempted from any danger from Ger
man naval forces even within the linn
its of the war zone declared by Ger
many is vigorously asserted through
out the entire note. 1t is declared
that the United States regards it as
incredible that the German Govern
ment should really intend to carry on
its operations in the manner indicated
In the Admiralty proclamation and in
the supplementary memorandum is
sued by the German Foreign Office.
Representations to Britain.
While these strong representation
are made at Berlin Ambassador Pare
at London, on the other hand, is in
structed to inform the British Foreign
Office that the United States expects
Great Britain to do all in her power
to restrain British vessels from the
deceptive use OF the American flag
in the German war zone. He will state
furthermore that the United States
would hold Great Britain partially re-
sponsible if American shipping or
American life be lost as result of
the encouragement of such use of the
flag.

The councils opportunity to help
the people is here. The most valuable
part of the Automatic property, the
opportunity to do business, already
belongs to the people. The council
should forbid the sale to the mon

it and assume the business of tele-
