MANY CAPEs WORN IN PARIS
French Styles Counted on to Hold
Sway Throughout Country for
Esd. Fall Wear.

Wise in the changed ways of the
world, we no longer look every autumn
for complete revolution in fashion,
such as used to happen in the old days,
when every gown and suit in wom-
ans wardrobe might become unwear-
able almost over night, says a Paris
writer in Vogue. Individual taste in
dress is allowed its way nowadays, in
a manner which was never dreamed of
in our mothers philosophy. Neverthe-
less, as summer wanes, we look eagerly
for indications of coming modes in the
dress of women whose ideas as a rule
influence the mode, and we attend
smart gatherings with our eyes wide
open for any indication of future in
tentiOns on the part of the great cou-
.turiers. 8wts -,
What is worn in Paris during the
Grande Semaine still has its bearing
on what win be worn by the rest of the
world in the autumn. Some of the
early events were held in cool and
threatening weather, with great gray
clouds overhead, ready to pour rain
on any expensive finery. The later
races were held in magnificent SIM
shine, but because of the first damp
experiences, every other woman was
provided with a cape, and every posi-

BLAZE STARTS IN
CITY HALL JAIL
Prisoners Thought to Have
Ignited Pile of Rubbish
in Basement.

Efforts to burn down the city hall
by two prisoners confined in the
city jail. and effect a jail delivery.
were prevented shortly before 10
o'clock Saturday morning.
The fire, which was started BY
Charles DOdds and Floyd Matson,
two youths held on a charge OF auto
mobile stealing, was discovered in
the west cell Of the city Jail by Desk
Sergt Dick O'Connell. Smoke was
issuing from the main door leading
TO the cells.
Sergt. OConnell opened the door
to the cells 70 see from whence the
smoke came The volume of smoke
that came from the cells nearly
overcame the desk sergeant as II
poured into the desk sergeant's
room.
Calls For Assistance.
Assistance was Immediately called
for By Sergt. O'Connell. Janitors,
police officers and city hall attaches
were called TO the assistance Of the
desk sergeant

leading TO the corridor. 1t was ap-
parent from their attitude that the
prisoners were prepared to make
their escape during the confusion
expected at the time the policemen
would enter the cell corridor by way
Of the main door.
Dodds and Matson told Asst. Chief
of Police Cassidy that a policeman
had given them a roll of the tape
from the signal phone desk upon
which is registered the half hourly
calls of patrOlmen on duty on their
respective beats, and had told them
TO play with it,
lay Blame TO Cigaret-
When discovered budding near
the door leading to an exit into the
corridor, the two men declared that
the fire had been caused by one of
them dropping a lighted cigaret.
After some difficulty the blaze
was extinguished. The smoke from
the cell room filled the offices on the
second floor of the city hall. It
caused Mayor Carson TO hurry down
10 the office of Chief of Police Kline,
who knew nothing of what had just
occurred. Asst. Chief of Police
Cassidy was hurriedly called and a
hurried conference between the
three officials was held.
After the conference, the assistant
chief questioned the two men. They
appeared to regret that the fire had
not accomplished more than it had
accomplished. They requested the
assistant chief to transfer them from
their cell in the city Jail to one IN
the county jail.
Arrested Several Times.
Dodds and Matson have been ar
rested several times by the police
on various charges. They were
again arrested Wednesday afternoon

Sergt. O'Connell looked lightly upon
the occurrence.
