~ On this page the largest figure is attired in a cool
and modish robe, adapted to the middle and late Sum-
mer. Of cream-colored silk, it is made over a mousse
lin de sole slip. It's quaint shoulder cape, belted in at
the waist with one of the broad, straight girdles that
every one" is wearing at present, and it's large silk
covered buckle, give it the character which every
gown needs.
Character in a gown is that which sets it apart,
makes 1T different from other gowns. "Character"
in a gown is what personality is to an Individual. Some
men and women whom you know are rich in person
atty. Others are nearly devoid of it. Some gowns
have much character" Others have almost none.
This gown, you will agree, has character"
At the bottom of the page you will see a creation
of mine in net, than which there is nothing cooler. It
has an effective arrangement Of shoulder drapery.
The divided tunic, slightly draped, is a smart feature.
Simpler, but effective, especially when worn by a
young girl, is the third Of the fragrant flower frocks
reproduced on this page. Its double tunic, the gath
cred founce below the waist, and the broad belt make
of it an up-to-the-moment gown.
Yet about each of these, you will agree, is the sug-
gestion of flowers. as though the lovely wearer might
have been lost in a lovely old-fashioned garden, or be
found there, with equal aptncss.

Anniversary OF BEGINNING
OF TRAN-RoBBING INDUSTRY

What was once an important in
dustry in the West, but which of late
years has suffered something of a de-
cline, had its beginning at Verde,
New, forty-five years ago tonight. The
industry referred to Ia that of holding
UP trains, and, while 1t is not entire
1y q Lost art, It is not what it was in
the pa1my days of the James boys
and other malefactors who engaged
in the business of separating express
companies from the cash placed in
their care. While Jesse James will
always remain the classic figure
among bold, bad bandits, he was not
the originator Of the hold" of trains.
That distinction belongs to Buck Tay-
Tor.
& since the days of Robin Hood, and
probably long before, the robbing of
travellers has been popular outdoor
sport. On this side of the Atlantic,
and especially in the wild and woody
West, stage hold-ups were frequent
before the coming Of. the railroad
Buck Taylor. who had been arliper
in California and had followed vari-
GUS other trades and professions,
was among those who took to the
road.
In some unexplained way Taylor
learned that the Overland Express of
the Union Pacific carried about $780,
900, The prospects Of such a prize
were too great to resist. Stage rob-
bing had bean Improbable for many
months, owing to the heavy guard
placed on these conveyances. When
Taylor proposed holding up train,
some Of his companions demurred,
declaring that 1T was impossible, fool
hardy, and, most convincing argu-
ment OF all, 1t had never been done.
The pioneer In the new industry re-
: NAMED firm. however. and in the
end won the support of his compan-
Sons in the project.
Buck Taylor was accompanied on
his adventure by four other men,
known as Sol Smith. Ed Williams,
Jack David and Phil Jackson. On the
November night in question the four
desperaGaes put into practice the
method Of holding up trains which,
because OF its efficiency, was follow
ed out for years, and is even used
nowadays---fn the movies.
They took up their position In the
shadow OF the well known water-tank,

Arthur James Balfour, principal secre-
tary Of state for foreign affairs of the
British Empire. was accorded an ovation
when he appeared before the American
House Of Representatives yesterday. The
reception accorded Balfour and the heads
of the British war mission was epochal
In a sense, for it marked the first time
within the memory of man when the
President Of the United States has oc-
eupied gallery seat in the chamber.
The coming of the President went un-

had been seated in the front row Of the
Executive gallery for several minutes
They arrived unannounced. They were
chatting together as they awaited the
coming of the distinguished Britishers
when Representative Glass, of Virginia,
noticed them. He directed the attention
of a colleague to the couple, and that
started a special round of applause for
the chief magistrate and his handsome
wife.
Hardly had the echo of the welcome
subsided when through the east door

Say Vawters Sat by Road

By CLEvE H. srAUFFDR
(stan Correspoadent).

chFistisnsburg. Va, May 6.-The
Vawter trial Is about to take another
startling turn, in which an attack prob
ably will be made upon letters written
by Prof. Charles e. Vswter, the ae-
cused, to Stockton Heth, jr., the slain,
in the soclety-tragedy being aired in this
town, in and effort to declare them
fraudulent.
Gossip OF such a likelihood electrified
people here who have been speculating
and waiting in suspense for the next
sensation. Late this evening rumors to
this effect were partially substantiated
by good authority Such news far over
shadowed the other developments OF the
day.
A sprinkling of loose living again per-
sisted in today's testimony. Slight as
this reference to moral laxity was, it
was nevertheless noteworthy because
it recalled an incident eight years ago.
The prosecution, in cross examination in
rebuttal. tried to prove that, while driv-
ing along a country road one night,
Mr.. and Mrs. Vawter were seen to get
from their buggy, sit by the side of the
road, and drink liquor for several hours.

Such a trip seemed a master stroke for
the defense, because the twelve men with
whom the fate of Vawter rests, were
brought face to face with a neat, we'll
regulated, and apparently tranquil home.
There was not one of the jurymen who
could help feeling that this domestic hap
piness will be short lived. and that the
home will be disrupted whatever their
verdict.
While every effort is being made to
guard Mrs. Vawter from further publicity,

NAVY NETTLED
AT PUBLICITY
Officials Are Highly Indignant
Over Announcement Of
U-Boat Antidote.

Navy Department officials last night
were highly indignant because Of the
announcement by W. L. Saunders. chair
man OF the Naval Consulting Board, in
New York City yesterday that a device
had been obtained which practically guar
anteed the destruction OF the German
submarine menace.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels urged
all newspaper men and all editors to re-
frain from publishing anything, even
speculation, as to the nature of the in
Yention. At the same time, every off,
cial OF the department was warned that
he would have to face serious conse-
Quences II he permitted further in
formation as to the nature of the in
yention' or its capabilities to get into
print, because of the urgent necessity of
keeping the details Of the invention from
the hands OF alien enemies.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels tried
several times to get Mr.. Saunders on
the phone, but failed. The Secretary
said he understood from press dispatches
that Mr.. Saunders was forwarding a
report to him but that he had not re-
ceived the report
Pressed for confirmation of Mr.. Saun-
ders' statement, Secretary Daniels said
he could give no details
I'VE have no doubt that the autidote
for the submarine menace will be found. ."
said Mr. Daniels, but when some plan
or device has been worked out, It must
demonstrate in actual warfare that the
submarine problem has been solved be-
fore the Navy Department win make
any announcement"
Notwithstanding the ''bottIing I'D" Of
all information concerning the inyeD-
tion. Navy Department officials late yes
terday freely expressed their eIation ar
the discovery. No secret was made of
the fact that tremendously important re-
suits were expected.
Just who discovered the new subma-
rine destroyer has not been revealed here.
but it Is understood that Thomas A. Edi-
son had large part in perfecting the
