 Many of the delegations have their own band with them and on every corner there will be some sort of an impromptu parade a delegation being escorted to or from somewhere, or a Serenade of some sort.
 With the opening of the international convention of the Loyal Order of Moose, which will close on Thursday following the patriotic address and parade to Theodore Roosevelt the claims of the city of St Louis as the r ext place for the Moose convention 1oomed in the foreground

PRINCE OF SONGKLA
 A HARVARD STUDENT
Gives His Personal Views on Entry
 of Siam in War.

Boston, July 23.-National necessity and moral pressure forced Siam into the war on the side of the entente, in the opinion of Mahidol. Prince of Songkla. brother of the reigning king, Vagiravudh. Neutrality upon the part of this small but long independent na- tion in the far east had become in creasingly difficult and there has been a growing sentiment that freedom and justice for states not strong from a military standpoint were not to be se- cured through the policy of the central powers. Sympathy for Belgium, that began with the invasion of that coun- try, had taken strong hold on the SiameSe and the popular aversion to TeUtonic methods, solidified by PreSi- dent Wilson's message asking congress to declare war, left no doubt a to the duty as well as to the path of expedi- ency of Siam.
 Princes Views Personal.
 The Prince of Songl1la, who has just completed his first year in a special course at Harvard university, express ed his views tonight, after explaining that they were purely personal and in no wise official. He had not received any word from Bangkok and learned of the action of the Siamese govern ment through The Associated Press The Siamese minister. Phya Prabha Karavongse, who is spending the sum mer at Gloucester. also was without official advices today.
 ConsuIts With Advisor
 The prince and the minister confer red during the day with Wolcott H. Pftkin, Jr., acting general advisor to the Siamese government, who has been in this country on leave of absence since February. The part that Siam will play in the war will be insignifi- cant so far aid to her allies is con cerned, in the opinion of the prince Germany, however. he said had more to lose than the allies would have had if Siam had cast her lot with the Teu- | tonic empires. for Germany lost her | last important harbor of refuge in the | far east

Demands by the prosecution

Demands by the prosecution for
 the infiiction of the death penalty, rarely before asked in California in the case of a woman; widespread in terest of labor unions public con
 troversy involving credibility os states witnesses and charges by the defense that important evidence had been fabricated, were features which marked the trial of Mrs. Rena Moon ey for murder resulting from bomb explosion in San Francisco last July.
 Mrs. Mooney. a music teacher, wife CT Thomas J. Mooney, was arrested a occurring at 2:06 D. m. in the course a Preparedness Day parade, July 22, Killed ten persons and wounded more than forty men, women and children. At about the same time the Mooneys were arrested, Warren K. Billings. Is rael Weinberg and Edward D. Nolan were taken into custody by detectives
 The state contended that the explo- sion was the continuation Of a con Spiracy plot of wide ramifiCations. with the five bomb murder defendants as the ringleaders.
 Billings was tried, convicted of rnur- der and sentenced to life Imprisonment. Mooney was sentenced to death on verdict of murder in the first degree without recommendation for mercy Both sentences have been held up pending appeals to the state supreme court. The others are now awaiting trial. Nolan is at liberty on bail.
 Dissatisfied with the verdict in the case of Thomas J. Mooney union labor organizations, which contributed large ly to the defense fund through the In- Workers Defense League, caused the appointment of a silent jury composed of labor men. to hear evidence adduced at Mrs Mooney's trial and render an independent yer dict to organized labor.
 Mrs Mooney was brought to trial May 21 before Superior Judge Elm met Sewel, of Santa Rosa. and jury.
 The specific charge against her was the murder of Mrs. Myrtle Irene Van Leo, one of the ten victims of the ex- )losion.

MOONEY MURDER TRIAL
 ENDS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Jury Had Reached No Verdict at
 Three This Morning.

San Francisco, July 23.-After sev- eral hours of deliberation, no word had come tonight from the jury room as to whether a verdict was near in the trial Of Mrs. Rena Mooney, charged with the murder of one of ten persons killed in bomb explosion during a prepared ness parade here last July. The un- official jury appointed by organized labor to hear the evidence in the case retired at the same time as the court jury and in B minutes returned a yer dict of not guilty, which will be trans mitted to labor unions throughout the country.
 Mrs. Mooney appeared entirely un- concerned as the trial drew to a close After chatting with friends. she re- turned to her quarters in the jail. Her husband, Thomas J. Mooney was con- vlcted previously of first degree murder in connection with the explosion and is awaiting tn eoutcome of anappeaI

Season Of Variety and of Infinite Charm--By May Manton

you are sure that these qualities are
yours. A mistaken color or mis-
taken texture will spell failure, no
matter how many examples of unusual
combinations one may see.
The coat costumes, whether they are
designed for sports or for street wear
show a very notable tendency toward
the waistcoat idea and many Of the
sports costumes are made Of sham
waistcoats, so the speak, that is with
skirts and coats and little waist coat
fronts that are held in place by rubber
straps. These can be worn over the
thinnest blouses without meaning any
considerable addition Of heat or weight,
while at the same time they give Just
the contrasting material and the note
Of color that is sought in so many ways.
There has been an effort to revive
the high stock and four-in-hand tie for
wear with sports costumes, but it is
doubtful If it will gain any great hold.
Women who love sports demand COM
fort and the high stock in undoubtedly
heating. It may be accepted in the
Fall with greater enthusiasm, but the
beginning Of the warm weather season
is not the best line to introduce a
fashion of the sort.
Blouses to be worn with the sports
suits and with sports skirts arc be-
coming more and more feminine and
more and more dainty every day.
The frilled idea is a prevailing one and
the loveliest possible models are shown
with soft jabot-like frills that are 50
generally becoming that they cannot
fail to be met with enthusiasm. For
immediate wear, however, there is a
demand for the Russian or norfolk
model made Of wool jersey. Even at
the Southern resorts the weather is
uncertain and these blouses mean Just
enough warmth for comfort while they
leave one free for the actual enjoy
ment Of the sports. Bright colors
prevail and very charming effects are
observed. A model Of peacock blue
that is made in norfolk style buttons
up closely and is finished with
turned-over collar of white jersey
and a natty black silk tie. White
cuffs and white pockets with blue
flaps make a finish.

OELDOM, IL ever. have we had
such infinite variety in fashions
as now to select. Seldom has
there been 50 many different kinds Of
costumes correct and silhouettes Of
such variety as to allow a choice Of
what is most becoming and best
suited to the individual with the
assurance Of smartness and Of good
style, The very latest cry from
Paris is for street suits that are made
with jaunty little jackets that sug-
gest the Eton idea and which fire.
quently are Of contrasting material
in a contrasting color. 1t is a season
Of gowns and these suits means gowns
with jackets worn over them. A very
fascinating one and which exemplihes
the trend, is Of etamine which, by the
way, is one Of the revived materials
in a lovely shade Of beige while the
jacket is of broadcloth in pastel blue,
braided with soutache to give an ex-
ceedingly smart effect. The skirt Of
the gown is draped to provide wide
hips, but otherwise it is quite plain,
and the neck line is the half low, round
one that is so generally liked. A
second costume is Of white broadcloth
with a touch Of bright color found in
the waistcoat Of green linen. The
skirt is Of the cloth and laid in groups
of plaits, and the bodice portion is of
white silk voilc embroidered with
silk floss and metal threads, the loose
little bolero-like jacket is Of broad
cloth like the skirt claborately em-
broidercd with soutache and with a
little waistcoat attached Of green
linen. 1t is a very smart costume, a
very attractive costume and it is one
that undoubtedly will see many pro-
totypes. We have not come back to
the conventional suits with very great
enthusiasm, but these suits which
consist Of dresses and coats are largely
taking their place. They are practical.
they are attractive and they are new,
consequently they have every condi-
ton to make them of interest.
After the jacket, the most notice
able tendency in outdoor garments is
TO be found in the cape effect. If you
want a wrap for the motor, if you want
wrap for the piazza, if you want a
wrap for the beach. let it take the
form Of the full draped cape made Of
one material or Of another according
to your need. Gabardine or serge or
light weight vclours will be good for
the motor. Silks and satins will be
charming for the wrap to be. worn in
the limousine on the way to afternoon
visits and later it will be pretty for
piazza wear. For the evening the
richest brocades and the most fasci-
mating silks and laces arc to be seen.

with fur trimmings. Short cape
wraps Of fur and Of silk trimmed with
fur are being exploited, too, and they
will be charming for wear over the
one-piece gowns when the weather is
a little warmer. The one-piece gown
or the entire costume is undoubtedly
the feature Of the moment. 1t is by
no means always made Of one material
throughout, in fact we are seeing a
great many unusual and remarkable
combinations Of fabrics but it is a
gown and the body and skirt por-
tons. il they are not cut together, are
sewed together to make one garment.
For general wear, there is something
OF tendency toward using light weight
woods in beige and tan and sand color
and to make them with almost quaker
like occurrences, although there is
liable to creep in just one little bit
OF bright color at least. An interesting
example is made Of gabardine in sand
color and is trimmed only with stitch
ing in matching silk, but the girdle
that holds it made from wooden beafs
and these wooden beahs show a Won
derful combination Of purple and
cerise with bits Of green that is really
superb against the quiet background.
You can put almost any two ma
terials together that you, like, it
would seem. A very beautiful model
that has just been received from Jenny
is Of tan Georgctte crepe with a skirt
Of black satin. The blouse is on the
Russian order, closed at the shoulders
and with the inevitable round neck
and long sleeves. 1t is trimmed with
terra Gotta buttons and with coarse
flct lace to be very smart and very
attractive. The skirt is a simple
one in two pieces with just sugges-
tion Of the tonneau idea, but perfectly
plain. A gown that has just been
completed by a notable house to be
sent TO one Of the Southern resorts
combines crepe de chine with gingham.
According to all tradition that should
not be, but, as a matter Of fact. it is
pretty and it is attractive and it makes
a very charming little frock Of the
simple sort. The bodice portion is all
Of the crepe de chine made soft and
full with pretty plaits and the skirt is
Of the plaid gingham draped over the
hips. Until you have seen it, you will
hardly realize how good the combina-
tion can be. Gingham is being com
bined with pongee also, not alone in
onc-piece gowns Of morning wear, but
also in sports costumes, and we see
skirts Of the gingham with coats of

be. Itis simple, yet at the same time
it is effective. The fact that the
bodice is cut in points renders it very
