AT McGRArH'S.
The cordial welcome always at

defeat of Winter in the contest with
advancing Spring, and right mer-
rily did the great crowds gather
and mix and mingle with friends
intent on pleasure as well as in
spection of styles in dress goods,
millinery and everything pertain
ing to the adornment of the human
torn divine.
Expert demonstrators dispensed
in the Grocery Department ref1 1esh-
ments to every conner and tea and
coffee, sandwiches, ETC., were duly
appreciated and consumed. The
Universe Band furnished music.
Miss Fannie Maxwell, our style
referee, and Mrs. Beatrice Higdon
head of the dress making depart
ment, were charming in courtesies
to friends, and sales and orders are
materializing out OF the admira-
tion and confidence inspired by
these ladies and others on Opening

Millinery Department, was mis-
tress of ceremonies in the beautiful
parlors of the department. Salts
factory sales were made in every

tractive and expressions of admira-

during the exhibit all day long.
Mrs. Schaller's styles are taken as
the standard in millinery and her
taste and skill and adaptability can
make any style attractive for the
individual purchaser. The callers
on Opening Day were assured that

BROKER HELD FOR MURDER

Mountain View, N. H., Oct. 7
Frederick l.. Small, formerly a Bos-
ton stock broker, was held for the
grand jury on charge of murder in
connection with the death of his wife.
Mrs.. Florence A. Small, after q
hearing in the District Court yester-
day.
William S. Matthews, Small's coun-
sci, argued at length that the prisoner
should be held for grand jury in
|quiry, as the fact that Small would
receive $4,000 insurance money
through his wife's death was 'sonly
reasonable protection"
Attorney General Tuttle, asserting
that there was motive for the crime
in the $4,000 life insurance policy
and a $4,000 policy on the house, said
every one was satisfied that whoever
committed the murder started the fire
to destroy its traces.

KAISER WANTS PEACE

New York, Oct, 6-The president
of one of the largest institutions in
the financial district said yesterday
that Germany had asked Ambassa-
dor Gerard to present a letter to
President Wilson asking his good Off
ces in bringing about peace.
He further stated that the Am
bassador is now the bearer of this
letter and would present it to the
President Immediately upon his ar
rival here. Mr.. Gerard is a passen-
ger on the Frederick VIII, which is
due Tuesday.
Questioned as to the source of his
information, the financier said:
81 would not make this statement
If I were not absolutely sure of my
facts. The news has come to me
from the most authoritative sources
Imaginable. I know that Germany
has requested the President to act.
I know that the Ambassador is
bearing Germany's overtures. That is
all can say for the present"
The standing of the fnancier is
so unimpeachable and his sources of
news so authoritative that Wall Street
credited the statement without ques-
ton. Immediately there was a sharp
break in the so-called war stocks.
The statement caused a tremen-
dous stir. 1t engaged the attention,
not alone of the financial district,
but of big business men in all parts
of the city. =.
Within an hour after the state
ment was issued official Washington
took heed of it. Denials were to be
expected in the absence Of any Of
fetal communication that could be
made public. These denials were in
stantly forthcoming.
But in spite of Washington's at
titude the statement became more
generally credited
