PRIVILEGED PARKING
IS HIT BY COURT
Mcmahon Says Police and Commits
sioner Lack Right to Dis
regard Signs.

A District Commissioner or a police
captain is not invested with authority
to give special parking privileges to a
citizen, either in front Of his home or
at his place of his business, contrary to
an official police sign, even II the park
ing ban is interfering with the citizens
business, Judge John p. Mcmahon de-
clared today in a test case ruling at
Police Court. Such authority, the court
held, is vested only in the Board of
Commissioners.
Pasquale Altimont, manager of the
United States Tile g. Marble Co., on
Georgia avenue near u street, was con-
victed Of parking In front Of his place
of business despite the fact that he car
ried a special privilege" card from
Capt. r. E. Doyle of the eighth precinct.
He also had several letters from Com
missioner Dougherty requesting that
the police show him leniency when his
trucks or pleasure car were found
parked in front of the marble works
while the parking ban was in effect.
Altimont was arrested by Sergt. Mil
ton D. Smith of the TRAFFIC Bureau.
Defense counsel questioned the right
signs, but Judge Mcmahon ruled use of
the signs in times of traffic congestion
was lawful. Safety of those travelling
the streets is more important than the
rights of property for so brief time.
he said.
Altimont plans an appeal, although
Judge Mcmahon said that under the
circumstances he would take his per-
sonal bond.

NEWSPRINT REPORT
GIVEN PUBLISHERS
A. N. P. A. in Session in New
York With 500 Members
Present.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 23.-The annual
convention of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association opened today at
the Pennsylvania Hotel with nearly 500
publishers from the United States and
Canada in attendance.
Edward H. Butler, president, in his
opening address declared that ma
tional organization was an absolute
necessity to the newspaper publishing
industry and that it stands as a bull
work to protect our interests and to
further our progress" He declared
that the A. N p A. had been greatly
beneficial In many ways to American
publishers and pointed to the special
benefits which had come up during the
two years he has been president.
Newsprint, one Of the most important
topics to be discussed at the conven-
ton, was the first on the program. w.
@. Chandler, chairman, read the news
print report and an account OF the
committees activities during the past
year. The report told how the pub
fishers met in New York early in De-
cember to protest against proposed
SIS per ton increase in newsprtnt prices
by Canadian manufacturers
The committee, In the report, gave
the impression that the publishers must
stabilize newsprint price levels over a
period of years. The report included
an offer from the Newsprint Institute
of Canada to increase prices gradually
over period of three years, with the
present price remaining in eject
throughout 1880.
A proposal to increase newsprint
prices over period of years-$2 ton
in 1881, 50 in 1882 and 81 in 1933-sub-
nitted by the Newsprint Institute OF
Canada was presented today. The pres
ent price is SIS a ton.
The proposal was presented In the
report of the newsprint committee,
which,. although it gave its tacit APP
prevail to the plan, made no definite
recommendation as to its acceptance.
On motion of F. p. Glass OF Mont
gomery, Ala, the committee was In
structed to make a definite recommen-
dalton to the convention tomorrow. Mr.
Glass motion followed a long debate
on the floor of the convention.
If accepted. the advancing scale OF
prices would bring the price to $6C
q ton in 1888, a price that the news
print manufacturers attempted to put
into effect last year without success.

Conventional Designs
Less realistic in shape, but
still realistic in coloring, are
the more conventional floral
designs, such as the flower and
leaf pattern shown in the Sec
ond plate from the left.
And a very gay pattern in
deed-a more formal one. too,
because of its larger size-is
the chintz type shown at the
extreme right below.
If you dining room is rather
modern, you might like china

realistic colors.
Maybe you've been using
these patterns-like lots of
other fashionable folks. And

glazed china.
The colorings are. lovely
rich cream, or soft green. or yel-
low or blue. And to vary the
monotone effect, interesting
shapes are introduced, or en-
bossed or fluted borders.
You can see this plain glaze
in the sketches above. At the
center plate almost square, with
cutoff corners. And at the right
a plate with fluted edge.
A third interesting shape is
seen in the illustration of the

On Partisan
Creations
BY WILMA LA VILE

Days of shopping are now
very exciting, with originals and
copies arriving hourly from the
Paris openings. Clothes were
never so smart, and every shop
that is visited reveals new and
most attractive frocks, suits and
coats. It's good news also that
many of them are modestly
priced. A copy can be authentic
and of good fabric without
being expensive. The frocks we
are sketching today are mod
erately priced and they are
exact copies from the recent
Paris openings.
Jane Regny is well known for
her good sports and street
clothes. which are very wearahle
and well adapted to American
life, even though they are femi-
nine. One Of the frocks. we
are sketching today is a copy Of
a successful Regny model. It's
of brown Marietta which is q
crepey looking sheer wooden
fabric. It's interesting for it's
diagonal closing and for the
shiny brass buttons that appear
on the bodice and the cuffs of
the dress. The neckline is round
and rather high which is typi.
cal Of the designer.
The other frock is a copy
Of a Patou model. It is Of
brown wool crepe and is
notable for it's jacket that
ends in a medium length pep
lum. Bands of tucking go
around the neckline and down
the front, and are used as trim
ming elsewhere. The belt is
of brown leather, and the full
ness in the skirt is achieved
by means of widely placed
pleats.
