7he 7rend of Spring Styles

For Spring and Summer, the dashing- looking fashions, the bewildering array of novelties in clothing and haber- dashery reflect we'll the spirit of the swift-moving days in which we are living. A few words as to the turn style has taken:
 COATS are longer, but with every detail centered about emphasizing the high waist effect. Lapels are short and gracefully narrow. Sleeves are shapely and just wide enough for stiff cuffs, now much affected by smart dressers. Fancy pockets are the rule with slant ing, crescent or vertical styles to choose

Near P!attsburg Camp

Albany, March 21-Charges Of at
tempted bribery and violation of the

tary camp site at Plattsburg were made
by Captain j. A. Baer, of the ID United

lar army post in that city, before the
Assembly Excise Committee to-day. He
made them in arguing for favorable ac

at Plattsburg or land near by used as
a training camp.
Captain Baer said he made his oppo-
sition at the direction Of the War De-
partment
'If call for volunteers should come"
he said. "Plattsburg would be the logi-

Ralph Conner Hopes
To See Flag in France
Canadian Novelist Clergyman
Says Men in Trenches All
Look Up to America

Major Charles W. Gordon, of the 43d
Canadian Infantry, formerly a Pres
byterian clergyman of Winnipeg, and
known to the rest of the world as
Ralph Conner, novelist, brought cheers
from the hundred ministers at the
luncheon of the Clergy Club yester-
day by telling them that he soon hoped
TO see the Stars and Stripes waving
over the trenches in France.
The men in the trenches all look
M to America" he said. I'VE will all
be glad when we see the troops of the
United States on the fighting line"
The luncheon was held in the Fifth
Avenue Building, and was attended by
clergymen of many denominations.
Major Gordon is in this country on n
special mission from the British War
Office, and will return shortly to his
regiment in Flanders.
The Allies have no quarrel with the
people of Germany, Major Gordon said,
but they are determined to stamp out
the Prussian military caste.

remarked, "for several months the
British troops saw red and few prison

the Allies treat the 4ounded Germans
as well as their 0 - men. No people
of sporting blood and instinct can carry
hate"
The soldier also commented upon the
difference in temperament between the
French and the British soldiers. The
"poilu," he related, went into battle

Two Amendments May AS
sure Passage for the
Measure
Opposition Is Bitter
Spring Election and Five-Year
Clause Asked-Bill Comes
in Again Tuesday
From a s,ar Correspondent q rhs Taounsl

tFrom a star Correspondent q tbs Tuounel
Albany, Y. Y, March 21.-The first
skirmish in the local option tight on
the floor OF the Assembly to-day re-
suited in little more than a draw as
far as the ultimate success Of the
Hill-Wheeler bill is concerned. Owing
TO the demand of a few Republicans,
who Joined with Minority Leader Cal
lahan in an effort to amend the bill to
provide for the submission of the
liquor question at special instead OF
general elections, Assemblyman H. Z.
Wheeler, sponsor for the measure in
the lower house, postponed action on
its advancement until Tuesday.
A conference of Republicans Of both
houses, probably on Monday, will de-
termne the adyisablity Of amending
the bill still further to obtain enough
votes to pass it. Senator William Z.
Hill and Assemblyman Wheeler are
now more certain than ever of the bills
passage.
When the measure appeared on the
second reading calendar it precipitated
a bitter debate. Assemblyman Henry
+. Murphy, of Suffolk, moved TO recon-
NIT the bill to committee, but he was
defeated. He called the measure
subterfuge.
Assemblyman Clarence +. Welsh, Of
Albany, and Minority Leader Callahan
proposed the amendment providing for
the local option vote at special cleo
tons in the spring instead of at gen.
eral elections. The hackers had or
ganized their forces to oppose all
amendments in the Assembly, but II
soon became apparent that many Re
publicans favored the spring election
proposition Republicans as well as
Democrats were inclined to agree also
with the idea that the period for the
operation. after an election, should be
five years instead of two years.
1t was agreed late to-day that the
Assembly undoubtedly would pass the
local option bill if the spring election
proposition and the fye-year change
period were added.

Senator BroUn Assailed
For Drive Inquiry Plan
from a STAFF Correspondent Of The Tdbunel

iFrOm STAFF Correspondent Of The Tubunel
Albany, March 21.-There were un-
mistakable signs of Republican revolt
in the Senate and Assembly to-day
against Stnator Elon r. Browns plan
TO settle the West Side improvement
controversy through a committee OF
business men, with veto power over
the proposed contracts.
After a prolonged and acrimonious
wrangle on the Senate floor il seemed
that the opponents of the Mitchell adj
ministration might ultimately succeed
in getting a legislative investigation.
Speaker Thaddeus c. Sweet and AS
sembly Ways and Means Chairman
Machold favor that plan and Senator
Brown has been forced to count noses
before proceeding.
The majority leader was subjected
10 bitter attack by Senator Alvah ".
Burlingame, a Brooklyn Republican,
and author of the resolution propos-
ing a legislative investigation. Sena-
tor Brown stated fatty that politics
would prevent legislative investiga-
tion in which the people of New York
would have confidence.
"Ihis proposal" declared Senator
Burlingame, referring TO Senator
Browns business man committee,
"makes it clear that the leaders here
are attempting TO prevent real in
vestigation Of the West Side con-
tracts. Coming from the known and
accredited representative in this SEN
ate of the New York City administra-
ton, the proposal is fraught with spe-
cial significance"
"The Senator is we'll aware" re-
torted Senator Brown, that | am not
the recognized representative OF the
New York City administration. | do
not intend to afford the Senator the
opportunity 10 renew that insult"
"The Senate" continued Senator
Brown "has been in an uproar every
time this matter has been discussed
because OF an unjustifiable attempt to
transfee3 20 this forum part of the
struggle which will come in New York
City on Election Day. If the city of
New York cannot trust the settlement
Of the West Side question TO seven re-
putable citizens, then God save New
York"
The Brooklyn Senator fairly ex-
ploded his anger at the majority
leader.
"The Senator says he is not in
cahoots with the city administrator
he declared. "Then why does he de-
fcnd it? ! will ask him what Con-
troller Prendergast said to him when
ne visited him in the privacy OF his
Office last week"
on answer that broke out Senator
Brown. Does the Senator think !
ought to have met him in the public
square,"
what farce. what a joke, what
shifting and passing of the buck con-
tinucd Senator Burlingame. II DOM
know whether the Governor Will toll
crate such thing, but II you have an
ounce Of good faith, rid us Of the cam
paign issue and let us 90 on our legis-
lative way"
Senator Thompson declared that the
people would never again their con-
ddcnce in the city administration until
The contracts are investigated.

the car. And when detectives picked
him up and gave the motor a clear
track the old man broke away again
and raced down Lexington Avenue in
its wake, shouting:
Benny! BENNY Papa won't leave
you!
Make Quick Moves
Israel Sternberg and the attorney
made some quick moves after that. Be
fore the formality Of holding Benny"
on charge of homicide was over both

nicipal Building armed with a writ
of habeas corpus. The writ served,
Benny" was Immediately taken before

Court. A crowd followed the prisoner
and his guards TO the Courthouse.
Israel Sternberg led it, and TO him
Benny" kept shouting over his Shout
der:
"They want to kill me! They want
to make a reputation! What do they
care that l gave myself up and tried
TO help them ?"
Justice Delehanty gave the prose-
cutor until o'clock this afternoon to
prepare his answer 20 the VIII, AFTER
which Assistant District Attorney
Dyer made a charge against Benny"
of murder in the first degree. Gold
stein had a chat with Benny" at the
time, and, by Justice Delehanty's or
der. was allowed to spend a full half
hour with him later in the afternoon.
1t was in that half hour that the
Claiming" was accomplished.
In the Ccroner's office Sternberg
told the reporters that he didn't tango
and never had done anything to quail
ify as a lounge lizard"-an allitera-
ton generally descriptive Of the class
Of dancing men who expect their part
ners, in one way or another, TO settle
the fiddler's bills. He complained that
he had been i'll used by the police, had
been kept without sufficient sleep and
had not been permitted 70 communi-
cate either with his father, his wife
or his lawyer. He explained his early
denial he had met Mrs. Hilair on
Thursday on the ground that he had
hoped to spare his wife pain.
