The combination Of plain and figured
fabrics is featured in midwinter gowns
of which the sketch gives very good
illustration. Like its forerunners of the
fall and early winter the model has the
appearance OF a little suit, but in reality
it is a one-piece affair. The skirt is hung
from a sleeveless bodice lining OF white
washable silk, and over this the blouse
is mounted.
The salient note in the skirt is the
double line of cord shirrings placed be-
low the hips and combining the fullness
thereabouts. Below the shirrings the ma

and had curious odor coming from it.
He was curious, but refused to let his
curiosity get the better of his pru-

package on the colonePs table, and
walked over to the other side of the

PRESIDENTS CABINET
'''.':'. TAkES UP THE MATTER
John 3. McManus, Originally of Chi
caso, Slain When Military Enters
City--Was in House Which Had
Been Sealed by Brazilian Consul
Details of Crime not Reported to
State Department.


Washington, D. c., March 12.--
John B. McManus, originally of Chi
cago, and one of the most prominent
Americans in Mexico City, was killed
yesterday when Zapata soldiers en-
tered the city.
The American flag was flying over
his residence, and the doors had been
sealed by the Brazilian consul, accord
ing to advices received from the Bra
lillian minister there today.
General Salazar has promised to
punish those responsible for the kill
ing.
1t is reported that McManus waa
killed for revenge because he killed
three Zapata soldiers when those sol
diers entered the city recently,
Commotion In Capital.
The murder caused great commotion
in the foreign colony in Mexico City
It is looked upon most seriously at
the White House, and was the subject
of cabinet discussion today.
The fact that the American flag
floated over the house occupied by
McManus, and the fact that it was
sealed, has led officials here to be-
lieve that he either feared for person
al safety, or that all foreigners were
frightened when Obregon evacuated
the capital and Zapata's soldiers came
In.
The brief official dispatches did not
indicate whether McManus or the sol
diers began the shooting which ended
in the death of the former.
Demand Is Made.
After a conference of the Cabinet
this morning, a formal demand was
sent to Gen. Salazar insisting that Ia
pata troopers guilty of the murder,
be punished, and that adequate repara-
tion be made to the victims family.
Dispatches received from Mexico
City this afternoon stated that one
British house had been looted and that
hundreds had been injured in disor
ders which prevailed following the
coming into the city Wednesday oi
Zapatas men.
