FROCKS AT AUTEUIL
A BLAZE OF COLOR
Steeplechasing Marked by
Brilliant Partisan and
Eastern Hues.

PARIS, March 1s.-The Shah OF
Persia. in an exotic atmosphere of
Eastern splendor, and two Arabian
sheiks forming a spectacular picture
with their rainbow-hued turbans and
burnooses, trailing robes and bril-
liant decorations, completely out
classed. Partisan attempts at color
display at the spring steeplechasing
at the Auteail race track today.
Even the gaudy silk tunics Of the
jockeys were pale in comparison with
the display of the foreign potentates.
The Paris milliners, however. did
their best. T:ey sent forth a multi
colored display OF hats that put in
the shade the exhibitions Of pre-war
days. Every hue in the spectrum
was there. There were reds and
pinks and burnt oranges, all exceed
ingly popular and some mingled with
the effect OF a kaleidoscope.
French girls skirts continue to be
provokingry long, and fringes of diff
ferent material make them even
longer. the waist lines, too, are now
so low that they would be almost i'm
possible to encircle with an arm
Sleeves are wide, according TO
Auteuil dicta.eS and sometimes have
cuffs OF fur. Belts are long. and
sIrdles exceedingly thin. Stockings

SHEPPARD FAVORS
new MERGER BILL
Senator Expects New Propo.
sal Will Be Made at
Hearing Today.

Senator Morris Sheppard Of Texas
stated yesterday that he would sup
port the Ball street car merger bill
ii nothing is offered at the hearing
today to shake his faith in its fair
ness.
He said he understood that a new
proposition was to be suggested by
the street car officlaIs-particuIa
George f. Hamilton, president of
the Capital Traction Company. At
least a new phase of the merger
matter would be considered. by the
committee. The bill which Senator
Ball. chairman of the District Com
mittee, introduced Friday, embody-
ing the old measure authorizing a
general consolidation of the car
lines of the Capital, the Potomac
Electric Power Company included,
and the new net income tax bill.
which would equalize the earning
capacities of the companies new
ly drafted bill-Senator Sheppard
said. represents a great deal of in
vestigation by the District Commit
tee of the Senate He favors a
merger that would work to the best
advantage Of the public and of the
companies with the least injustice.
In giving his approval to the COM
mittee bill Senator Sheppard said he
believed it was the most equitable
an" feasible plan yet devised, one
that would force the companies to
come to an agreement by putting
them on a basis that would level
their earning powers and grant
them permission to unite. The
question of whether the present 4
per cent gross income tax would
be abolished and the so per cent
tax on net incomes above per
cert applied in case of a voluntary
merger being accomplished, will be
decided at the hearing today, it is
expected.
President Hamilton of the CAPITAL
Traction Company. will arrive in
Washington from Atlantic City this
morning. The committee will meet
at o'clock at the Capitol. Presi-
dent Ham of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and a
delegation from the Federation of
Citizens Associations are expected
TO be present. Senators Pomerene.
Ming. Capper, Cameron, Sheppard
ara Ball have taken part in the
merger investigations.

EXPLAINS MYSTERY
OF WAVE LENGTHS

In the radio circuit advantage Is
taken Of the principle of recurrent
vibration to overcome the resistance
and inertia Of the circuit-the reluc-
tance of the circuit to react to any
impulse. The period of vibration OF
the radiophone transmitter circuit
is fixed, Its period Of vibration Is
determined by its electrical length
(inductance IN the circuiD and by It's
electrical size Capacity In the cir
cult). Thus 1t must vibrate, eiec-
trically, at a certain rate. The In
ductance and capacity Of the present.
day broadcasting station is SO pro-
portioned that the electrical vibra-
tions surge through the circuit at a
frequency of approximately $4,000
per second. ci eating disturbances IN
the electrical equilibrium of the sur
rounding medium which are radiateu
in overwhelming circles at a speed
OF $4,000 miles per second-the
speed OF light: $4,000 miles are
equivalent to 800, 100000 metres. Now
IL we divide the speed In metres at
which these disturbances, or waves
travel. by the frequence Of their re-
currence, We will know their length.
Thus, 300.0oo.000 divided by $4,000
equals $50, approximately.
The period OF vibration of the ra-
diophonet receiver is also dependent
upon its inherent characteristics
The receiving apparatus is SO con-
structed that its constants are Vari-
able. Either there is provided a vari
able inductance, a variable capacity,
or both. The setting Of these units
in such way as to bring the receiver
into exact electrical agreement with
the searched-for transmitter consti-
tutes tuning" and places the re-
ceiver in such condition that the

waves easily overcomes the inertia
of the receiving circuits and creates

BITTER FIGHT SEEN
Position of Lewis Is Deemed
Precarious-Government
Not to Interfere.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1s.-ofi.
-cials of the United Mine Workers
of America are preparing for the
greatest Industrial struggle Amer
lea has ever known.
when at least 100000 miners walk
out of bituminous and anthracite
coal mines on April /, as Is now
believed to be Inevitable, 1t will
be the start Of what will prove to
be the longest and most bitterly
fought struggle in the history of
the Industry, experienced observers
declare
Long Struggle Seen.
Leaders of the mine union are TAX
ing the position that the coming
controversy Is going to mean make
or break" for their entire organIza-
tion. They are on the defensive,
they say. with the operators fully
determined to make no concessions.
They, charge that the same forces
that broke the steel strike in 1919
and. they say, are now trying to
bring about open-shop conditions In
railroad shops-sre behind the coal
operators in the present fight.
1t is pointed out by union leaders
that the miners cannot hope to be
successful in a short strike. There
is coal enough above ground to last
for three months. with the nom
union districts producing. 1t would
be only by a continuation of the
strike until late summer that the
first real effects of the walkoui
would be felt
Rattle on Check-OH.
Complete plans for a long strug
gle have been made. No formal
strike order Is expected to be
issued. The leaders of the union
are expected to announce that they
cannot continue work unless the
men have an agreement on wages
and. as their present contract ex-
pires March 81. there, would be nc
such agreement.
The real issue of the strike, out
side of wages, 1t Is expected, will
prove to be the check of. The
miners have had the check-off since
the strike in 1896. ]: was the big
issue in that bitterly fought strike
and 1t will be big factor It is ex-

MAN WHO CONFESSES SHOOTING
HELD UNDER SPECIAL GUARD
Police Learn From Buffalo, N. r., That Story
Probably Is True.

Under special guard at the Wal

mond Martlew. Is years old, psyche
pathic patient who confessed to the
shooting of man during a hold-up
in Elmira. N. Y. the crime for
which two other men are now serv-
ing prison terms, is being held
pending the action of the New York
authorities.
Although no charge has been
placed against Martlew, 1t was
learned yesterday that the story
he told police at the First precinct
when he walked into the station
house Saturday night and gave
himself up, apparently was true.
At first 1t was believed that the
man was suffering extreme nervous
ness and police placed little faith
in his story. i
Victim shot in Heel.
Inspector clifford l.. Grant. chief
of detectives, received a wire from
Buffalo requesting speedy action
for the return of the prisoner.
Shortly after. Inspector Grant
learned from the Elmira authorities
that the story told by Marley was
correct His victim was shot In
the heel and recovered, reports said.
Martlew Informed police that he
had been arrested nearly half a
dozen times on larceny charges and
that on Christmas eve of 1915 he
he held up bake. and after
shooting him robbed him OF 65
cents.
Jury Failed to IndIct.
According to his story Martlew
was arrested on suspicion OF the
crime, but the grand jury failed
to indict him. He was then trans
ferred to the Buffalo jail. accused
of having violated previous
parole. While in the Buffalo jail.
Martlew told police he met the two

Courtland Has Pride
 In WeIlCBred Bird Dogs

Courtland, June 6.-(Special.)-- The love of the people of this county for bird dogs has not waned, but, on the contrary has grown stronger with each passing year. The breed has steadily improved with the in- fusion of new blood. until today there is perhaps no county in the south dogs.
 Maj. D. c. White, pioneer in the field trial game. is the dean of the fraternity. He has perhaps bred and handled as great line of pointers as any man in the United States Under his care has been such dogs as Ferris Jake. Muscles Shoals Jake, and others, from the sale of many of which he has realized prices running we'll into four figures.
 w. E. Hotchkiss, Jack Shackelford, James Alexander, Grath Gilchrist, Ed Pippen and others, have raised and sold many dogs of real worth. Jack Shackelford sold little of eight puppies in two days last week for s40Q. These were two months old, untrained pups, but of royal lineage.
 Major White sold Muscles Shoals Jake for s2,00o, and two more for $500 each this year.
 Jim Alexander and Ed Pippen have sold numerous pups from $50 up, so it can be easily seen that if the boil weavil eats up the cotton, these peo- pie will still have something to rely upon.
