HEARST C0UNSEL|N
CONFERENCE HERE

william A. DeFord, personal coun-
sci for William r. Hearst and general
counsel for the Hearst organization.
arrived here this morning AMI held
a conference with Messrs. Anscll and
Bailey in preparation for their argu-
ment, which Is set for next Monday,
in support of Mr. Hearsts applica-
ton for a writ enjoining the Secretary
Of the Treasury from making any
further loans to foreign governments.
Counsel, at the breaking up of their
conference, stated that Mr.. Hearsts
suit had met with a very wide popu-
lar interest not only because of the
large amounts of public funds In
VOWED, but as well because of the
very great Importance to the taxpay-
ing public and the Government OF
the legal questions which the case
presents for decision.
Counsel further called attention 20
the fact that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in his opposition to Mr.
Hearst's bill. had admitted all Of the
allegations of fact which II contained,
and that therefore the suit would
present purely legal questions for the
courts decision.

THE assurance that we are we'll

Buchanan told her audience. I'VE all
admit that We ought TO look and be
as attractive as possible for the
pleasure II gives our friends and
acquaintance. II Is always pleasing
to look At something with harmonious
lines and colors. But the big point is
that all OF US women realize that the
assurance that we are correctly and

dom from circumstances and a
poise that enables us to do our work

Langhorne Gibson, OF the Yale crew,

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-All Chicago is
wondering at the pepper of the Cubs
under Bill Killefer. their new man.
ager Chicago is wondering why
kfllefer himself and the rest of the
local outfit did not see fit to show
similar enthusiasm, alertness and
dash under Evers. 1t is wondering
whether the fault lay with Evers, or
whether his charge that some OF his
players laid down" on the job is
true.
At any rate, the situation Is an
interesting one, and Evers is the sor-
est man in forty-eight States. Evers
is sore not only because he was dis
charged, but because Of the way in
which II was done. 1t was given out
that he had suffered a nervous break
down. When seen yesterday he look
ed quite normal.
IT was not treated fairly. but there
is no sense in complaining at this
stage" he said. IT hope Killefer does
better However, players who quit

no better than players who throw
