Over ., H> the IL Plate <A
BY GEORGE DILLON

Local diamond addicts are gen. uine gluttons for twilight en- counters as evidenced by the over- flowing crowd at the House of David-City League All-Stars conf~ bat last night at Hamilton Park. The contribution boxes, however, were the same as usual and far from OverflOwing as meager sum of $24O was realized from this colorful attraction. The game staged for the benefit of the "On to Cleveland" campaign netted the drive $90.
 Bud Meyers, the crack third bascman with the riflc.like arm, wore . New Haven uniform last year while Bill Dumas, youthful shortstop, played with Mobile Of Bobby Tucker saw the short fielder in action countless times while he was schooling at Alabama.
 Joe Cosgrove, Matty Shea, Joe Leary and Tom Bowling were on hand to renew old acquaintances with the bearded visitors many of whom pastimed In the Eastern League years ago. Cossy had a most interesting chat with Moose" Swaney, former Hartford mounds man, who entertained third base bleachcr fans with his genial an- swers of Matty Shea's countless wise cracks.
 Big Boy Barrett, hustlinE mont League this year, but his fi- noncial terms were little in cx- cess of what club authorities thought he was worth so he packed his belongings and joined the H. of D's. At one time last year he was on the Giants roster and spOrted a Giant jacket yestcr- day which had the fans guessing. Harry Melvin. who patrols in the outer works of the Wingdale. N. r., hospital nine. was busy shaking hands with the visitors who were rather surprised to see him in this burg. The whiskered outfit played 66 tie with Wing dale in their first meeting, defeat pearance and play the rubber game Thursday in Wingdale.
 This afternoon the David repre- sentatives cross bats with Tanners vile, N. Y., and tonight in New York city meet the Brooklyn Royal ColOred Giants who appeared here two weeks ago and who are slated to meet the Prospect Changers at Hamilton Park Friday evening. Last week the barberlcss club played three games on both Wed. ncsday and Thursday.
 Did you know that Matty Shea was introducing his cousin, Ray O'Tolle to the Housers last night. Matty was one of the scant few who swelled the contri- button with greenbacks. Sid Graves, former Brassco fly-hawk, was not with the bearded boys who by the way are looking for a new lshortstop. Vic Radzevich came all the way from Torrington to play three innings and in his only | time at bat drew an Annie Oakley. Jack Mahaney's left hand was good and sore as the Brooklyn re- ceiver caught without a sponge.

Summary of the Second
Nationwide Fashion Census
ApriL-MGy, 1881
BY AMOS PARRISH

The preference Of American
women is very plainly shown in
the results Of the nationwide j..
fashion census taken last month
under the direction of Amos
Parrish. The washington Times
participated and their findings
are included in the results
which we are publishing this
week and next. Below are the
leading dress fashions:
Prints in First Place
American women agree there's
nothing like the print dress for
a good spring tonic. It's bright,
cheerful, practical. they think,
and prove it by wearing it.
More than a quarter Of the
thousands counted we're wear
ing print dresses, small, closely
spaced figures or medium sized
floral. quite widely spaced.
Touches Of White
And here's something inter
esting about those new print
dresses. Many had a touch of
white in the form of lingerie
trim, matching the little bits Of
white that so often show here
and there in the print pattern
itself.
Of dresses not prints, black
got the biggest fashion vote.
One out of every five dresses
was black. But. notice this,
few were aIl-black. Most of
them had some sort of white or
colored trim, in a scarf, a cowl
draping, or a colored belt.
Blue a FavOrite
After black came blue; then
green and brown, running neck
and neck.
Two-thirds of the women cen
sused wore silk dresses. About
one-fifth wore wool-sheer woods
like wool crepes, light jerseys.
and loosely knit fabrics. And
about one in ten preferred
sheer fabrics, like crepe Eliza.

matte as that, but We admit
that nearly every frock is
smarter by the addition of a
jacket.
Vary Your Jackets
Sleeves may be long or short
in the new jackets. The jacket
itself may be only a tiny bolero
or it may reach to the hipllne.
It may be belted or straight.
fitted or loose, in fact, it may be
anything you want. More often
than not it contrasts with the
frock either in color or material,
though again, this is not a rule.
The jacket on the frock We have
had Sketched Is a good length
that is becoming to almost
everyone, and with its long
sleeves, it is correct. for both
street and sports. 1t may be
worn on other things as well as
on the frock it comes with.
Algerian COIOrs
This costume is of Rajah silk,
which is rough and heavy. This
brings out the vogue for inter
esting textures that we have
written about before. The col
OTIS in this costume are exceed
ingly effective, too. The frock
is off white, the jacket, a strong
Algerian orange. trimmed with
brown, and the lace at the neck
line is brown with taSsels of
orange and brown. The same
suit is available in other combi-
nations with jacket of red or
blue. The ensemble is inexpen-
Sive.

 Police Chief Earl Chadwell said F. L. Benton, who also escaped from the Muskogee county jail where he was held as suspect in the Smith case, was being watched by police at a Kansas City hospital As Lawrence Devol, he wag sus- pected in a Missouri robbery.
 Sheriff Cannon discredited an- other clue in the case when a farm CT brought him a billfold bearing P. G. Seeley's Identification card. Cannon said the contents of the fold did not show traces of weather like the cover. Seeley and John L.. Wike, associated with the Smith brothers fin the defunct New Milford Securities company, were in the ho- tel room at the time of the murder but were not molested by an un- known assailant.

 'In the case before me the prin- cipal allegations relate to acts and conduct of subordinate officials of the public officer complained against When the charges are of this nature 1t must clearly appear either that the various acts and wrongdoing complained of on the part of the subordinate officials were known by the mayor and that he failed to take steps to correct or punish such wrong doing or that he was negli- gent and recreant in failing to keep himself properly advised. The pres- ent charges were so general in char acter and related so predominantly to the acts of subordinates in the city government, that hesitated as to whether I should take any action on them at all, but after mature deliberation I concluded that they were sufficiently specific to warrant my following one of the customary courses, and I therefore forwarded them to the mayor.

Monzani's official probe being named by sev- eral as the man. who chopped the last supporting pillar and caused the collapse of the floor, which resulted in the deaths of Albinas Garbuskas. II, of 27 West Porter street and Nicholas Marchitello, 29, of Wash ington avenue. Francis Santoro, 10, of 39O Washington avenue, discharg- ed yesterday from the hospital was also injured in the crash.
 Coroner John T. Monzani was of- ficially notified to-day of the death of Rocano and endeavored to as- certain the name of more witnesses to the triple tragedy. As the re- sponsibility was placed mostly on Racano, his death marks an unusual feature in the tragedy.
 Like many others the deceased was gathering wood when his al- legged action in chopping the final support led to the collapse of the flooring and the death of Garbukas and Marchitello and eventually his own.
 The state loses in Racano's death, most important witness and adds importantly to the triple tragedy
