GREY 'VE7S' DENY THEY'RE OBSERVERS
Seek to Have Stigma Removed
 From War Records

Washington. Jan. 14 P-In the files of the war department is an old, unsigned -document listing some of the proudest names of the South as deserters from the Confederate army and because their relatives and friends believe they have been Wrongfully accused, a movement has been initiated to clear them.
 But the way to vindication may be difficult because it lies through the uncertain channels of legislative action by congress, which usually turns its ear to more urgent things.
 Listed As "Deserters."
 When hostilities ceased between the North and South in 1865, tho Confederate soldiers then incarcer- ated in the United States Military Nibby) prison at Richmond, Va.

 One day Southern patriot chanc- ed to run across the document. and discerning that some of the names were those of men believed to have been captured and imprisoned. and not deserters, took the word back home to find ready acknowledge ment that the honor of the South had been assailed and retribution was due.

BRITONS LEAN 10
 DRESS EXTREMES
Mid Victorian Styles Predoml- nate Among Younger Bloods

London. Jan. 14 P-British men seem to be going back to the mid Victorian fashions in their dress.
 ], c. Squire, editor of the London Mercury, is appearing these days in dark gray jacket cut away over his waistcoat and buttoning closely up under q large wing collar.
 Thomas Hardy sometimes wears coats like those of Squire. So does Clourh William Ellis. the architect.
 Wears Jacket of '80s
 Probably the most sartorially dar- 1nx man in London is Stephen Case lee, the librarian of the foreign of fice, who wears leather walstcoats topped by jackets cut after the fash ions of the sixties.
 Gaselee has always been noted for being extraordinary. He had kan garoo steaks served at his twenty first birthday dinner at Cambridge and the clothes he was seen wearing at the university were even more surprising than those in which he appears at Whitehall.
 He is a believer in ancient rites and ceremonies and is credited with reviving the custom at Cambridge Of drinking from loving cups filled with ''copas." Copas is an extraordinar- fly unpalatable brew made of spices, old ale and sherry, all mulled to- gether and served with pieces Of burned toast floating on the top.
 Wales Yellow Shirt
 Members of the house of commons who have adopted the style of ap- bearing with orchids in buttonholes are increasing. Sir Harry Britain has been indulging himself In pink orchids of late but the most regu- lar wearer is Sir Nansttart Bowater. He probably wears a greater vari- ety Of flowers during the year than any other member.
 The Prince of Wales has revived the yellow hunting shirts worn by his ancestors in the sixteenth cen tury. The yellow shirt ranks among the skin fitting garments and those who follow the fashions set by his royal highness accompany 1t with 8 yellow chamois waistcoat.

 That's why thousands of peo- pie come to Garber Brothers when in need of furniture. They know that the price will be the lowest and the quality of a standard that will give them pride in their possession:

BANKS HOLD B|G FUNDS FORTUNES Unclaimed Moneys Total Vast
 Amounts

New York, Jan. IA OP) - A neat fortune in unclaimed savings lies in the vaults of New York banks awaiting trace Of depositors.
 The pennies of "foaters' the world over. from diverging sources and in varying amounts, add to the total which, in one bank alone, has climbed to six figures.
 Hundreds of depositors have vis- tied banks never to return. They have left their savings and gone. possibly to death, without leaving record of their moves.

Twitchell, president Of the Sea mans Bank for Savings, which, 'n 100 years of business, has 2,5@G dormant accounts totaling s296,- 9SS.s7. The task, however, Is a never-ending one and through de- partment, instituted for the pur- pose, constant search is made and every possibility Of a claimant ex- hausted.
 The Seaman's bank Is one Of many in New York all Of which have similar accounts whose de positors have not been heard of in 20 years or more. After this lapse inc accounts become legally dor mant," interest no longer is paid and the banks have use of the money. but not for individual gain.
 Accounts From the Bowery
 Up the winding Bowery, in the twilight of the elevated, wander agcless Chinese, men of bearded styles, hatless foreign women, pale, ld-faced children. Such is the cli- entele of the Bowery Savings bank where the dormant accounts total s100,ooo.
 Once in this parade, said bank official, was Mary Ellin, quaint old charwoman. 70 years old She had forgotten some of her accounts and was found to have s12,Oo0 de posted with the bank under four different names.
