AUTUMNAL BRIDE AT THE READ co,
 CHARMS WOMEN
Attractive Window Display, With Gown Draped From
 Uncut Fabric.

An attraction of truly feminine in terest that is causing no little amount of favorable comment among the women as they pass up and down Main street is the charmingly attracti- i've Brides Window of The D. M. Read Company.
 The window, resp1endent with we'd ding regalia, discloses an attractive Autumn Bride gowned in brocaded satin and plain silk of rich, lustrous white Chantilly lace and cloth of sil- yer being used in generous folds to add a more pleasing emphasis to the gown.
 The most interesting feature to note is that the gown is not made up" at al but merely the result of artistic and skilful draping of the uncut fa- brfc, a fact that is disclosed only af- ter the closest observation.
 The bride, yelled with her bridal veil and holding @ bouquet of roses and lilies of the valley, is on her way to the altar, accompanied by her dimin- utive attendants, three large dolls dressed as flower. girls and train bearer.
 A rich display of Chantilly and me- tallic laces of heavy silver fills the rest of the window and is so artisticaly handled to show the exquisite design and workmanship in the fabric that this part of the decoration, used as pleasing balance in the display, quite rivals the bridal procession as the dominating feature.

arrange for a. provision in the amend ment of the convention to vest in the United States Government a certain measure of control over the expendi- lures made by the Dominican Republic during the terms of the proposed new convention. The American Govern ment desires that the collections from internal Revenue, as well as that part of the Customs which is turned over to Santo Domingo, shall be sufficient to render the island republic self-sup porting and provide for it's adequate development. Behind this purpose is a determination, if possible, to pre- vent the need of Dominicans seeking loans from foreign bankers and thus piling up debt that would lead to international complications through an attempt to collect it by force in the future.
 The new treaty with Haiti calls for American control over the collection of revenues, internal as~well as customs; the regulation of Haitien disburse- ments, and a complete reorganization of the military forces through the ere ation of a native constabulary off1cered by American navy and marine officers.
 A news dispatch from Santo Domin- go last night stated that Clarence H. Baxter, the American General Receiv- CT of Customs in the Dominican Re public, had advised the suspension of payments to Dominican officials under instructions from Washington, until an understanding shall be reached re- garding certain articles of the Ameri- can-Dominican Convention of 1907 or the recognition of the present Domini- can Government by the United States This is a yelled allusion to the plans of the United States under which it has no intention of recognizing the Gov ernment of Federico H. Carvajal. the new Dominican President, or any oth- CT Government in that country, pen ding its acquiescence in the plan for che establishment in Santo Domingo of financial protectorate, substantially similar to that in Haiti.
 The convention of 1907 was conclud- ed after the Dominican Government had effected a conditional settlement under which all its foreign creditors agreed to accept about $12,407, ,000 for Debts and claims amounting to about $21,184,000 face value, the holders of internal debts or claims of about $2,028,258 face value agreed to accept about s645,827, and the remaining holders of internal debts or claims agreed to receive about $2,400,o00.

WASHINGTON TO GUARD FINANCES
 OF D0MINICANS
President WithhOlds RecOgni- tiOn Until Plan Is
 Perfected.

Washington, Aug. 23.-President Wilson is withholding recognition of the newly elected President of the Do- minican Republic until an understand ing can be reached for virtually the same sort of fiscal protectorate over that country as has been arranged for with respect to Haiti. Efforts are now being made by the State Department, through William Worthington Russell, the American Minister to Santo Do- mingo, to negotiate such an arrange ment by amending certain articles of the Convention of July 25, 1907, be- tween this country and the Dominican Republic, under which the so-called American Customs Receivershtp in that country was established.
 Under the terms of that convention the President of the United States ap- points a receiver general of Dominican n Customs, who, with such assistant re- ceivers and their employees as the Pres- ident may appoint, collect all the cus- toms taxes of the republic. The Amer ican receivership has been in force more than a decade. It has been re- markably successful in it's collection of the customs. These collections under the American regime have been far in excess of what they were before the convention was negotiated in 1903 and modified in 1907.
 While the customs receipts have been fat the internal revenue receipts have been thin. The internal revenue receipts are collected by the officials of the Dominican government. Their small total is attributs1 by those famil- jar with the situation to maladminls- tration by native officers and the Unit ed States wishes through It's receiver ship, to collect the internal as well as the customs dues.
 Minister Russell is likewise trying to

GREAT STONE FACE
 AT FRANCONNA N. II. NEEDS A MASSAGE

Concord, N. H., Aug. 25-The "Old Man of the Mountain" as the profile rock in Franconia Notch has been known for years, is losing its head and Governor Roland H. Spaulding and his council were engaged today in considering means for repairing the loss. Through Rev. Guy Roberts, of Whitefield, the governors attention was called to the fact that winter storms had moved the stone and erased the forehead of the great stone face. the name by which the rock was immortalized, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The great stone which is in danger of toppling over, would carry with it the rock masses form ing the nose and chin.
 A return of the forehead stone to its original position and the construc- ton of a buckle arrangement to bind it firmly to the head is proposed

BOMB KILLS FOUR

Rankow, China, Aug. 25.-Major- General Shen, director of the Han- yang Powder works, and four of his assistants were blown to pieces re- gently by an explosion of an internal machine.

Peary Reported Discovery.

Admiral Peary reported his discov- cry of a new continent upon his return from the Arctic regions in 1906. He said he had seen a field of mountains through his glasses from Cape Thom- as Hubbard, the northern limit of Axe1 Hefburg Land. In May, 1910, he wrote in the American Museum Jour- nal with faith unshaken:
 '"The exploration of Crocker Land easily takes first rank among prob lems demanding exploration, now that the pole has been reached and the in- su1arity of Greenland has been deter mined. And further than this, should this land, the distant mountain peaks of which I was fortunate enough to seOfrom Cape Thomas Hubbard in Ju- ly, 1906, prove to be a land of large extent, the possibilities will be most alIuring, for such land will become the gateway to other lands or seas rep resented by the large blank spaces on the maps between the north pole and Boring Strait"
 In the fall of 1914 when word came back from the MacMillan expedition that Crocker Land had not been found, Admiral Peary refused to be convinced.
 Jerome Lee Allen, the wireless ope- rator who accompanied the MacMillan expedition, returned to New York yes- terday on the steamship Hellig Olav of ehA Scandi>aI<ian-Anaari Line. HaD

Part of the plan of settlement was the sale of bonds to the amount of $20, 100000 bearing per cent. inter- est payable in fifty years, and redeem able after 10 years at 102 1-2. This whole plan was conditional on the aid of the United States in the collection of the customs revenues and their ap- plication to the interest and redemp- tion of the bonds. Under this arrange ment the United States had no author ity to collect the internal revenue.
