PLANS BARED FOR
 TAKING OVER OF RAILROAD LINE.
L. & N. And Atlantic Coast Line Plan Joint Opera
 ton Of Road

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Claims under which the Louisville and Nash vile railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line propose to acquire controol of the Carolina-Clinchfield and Ohio railroad, were laid tocday before the interstate commerce commission.
 w. l.. Mapoother, president of the Louisville and Nashville, was the principal witness during the day and was subjected to cross-examination and the Southern Railway and was also questioned by Edgar Clark. former chairman tf the interstate commerce commission.
 MT. Mapother explained the finan- cial arrang gements under which the CHnchfield system would be leased to his railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line under an agreement by which outstanding obligations of the Clmchfield would be guaranteed by the two leading roads.
 o O o
 Will Give Outlet.
 In addition owners of the S25,ooe, 900 issue Of Clinchfield common stock would receive after 8 term of years five per cent per annum as dividends from the leasing railroads. He argued that the requirement. of the Clinchffeld would give the Louisville and Nashville better outlets for the coal producing territory which 1t now serves and also furnish a new route for the exchange of merchan- disc shipments between the middle west and the southeast.
 Asked by the opposing counsel as to whether the Louisville and Nash vile would be willing to enter into partnership with some other road than the Atlantic Coast Line in ac- quirlng the Clinchfield, MT. Mapother replied emphatically in the negative. His railroad, he said, did not care to consider acquiring joint interest in the Clinchfield with the Seaboard and Southern railway and would not proceed to take over the Clinchfield unless the Atlantic Coast Line came in for a hakf ownership.
 we are not here to negotiate any new proposition,+ MT. Mapother as- serted. We are here to explain the only plan which l am willing to recommend to the stockholders of the Louisville and Nashville. If 1t is net accepted we shall drop the entire ''

GERMAN GOWNS ARE STARTLING IN PRICE
Bargain Sale Rates No Longer
 Exist In Berlin

BERLIN, Sept. 23.-German gown designs this fall and winter will be startling-in price only.
 The one time bargain sale rates prevailing here have gone into the limbo of the past. Now. Paris models" can be obtained more cheap " in Paris The few American and British women who now visit the German metropolis are turning their steps toward Paris and London whsn they wish to buy gowns with an air different from New York's."
 Last year. they could pick up for $40 to $50 gowns copied after Parisian styles and equal in quality and beauty to the best that Paris afforded. This year shoddy goods, stilF copied after Paris. are com marding $50 to $100. That is the price for a simple dress-nothing fancy, and far from the quality that the same money would buy in New York, London or Paris. A plain waist that a New York stenographer would scarcely deign to wear commands S25.
 Black is popular. Skirts are long and draped. Low full collars are quite the rage, although they look frightful on buxom women-aud most Germans are built along gener- ous lines. Capes, short and long, are still in vogue. and paisley is much affected.
