Washington dshions
By WILMA LAVILLE

When you go shopping for
coats or suits. and you can't
decide which to buy, you will
probably compromise by buying
both. For never have both
coats and suits been so smart,
ami never have prices been so
low You can get whole
wardrobe for what you planned
to spend on one good gar
ment a few years ago, and you
can have the best of fashions
for moderate prices. Just to
prove it to you, we're sketch
ing a coat today that is one
of a series. all equally good,
all the same modest price, and
all available in more than one
color.
LyOlene'S Success
This coat is a Lyolene model,
and it is one of the most
popular coats that has come
out of Paris. Lyolene is
rather new to fame, though
she seems to have arrived
very securely at the moment.
She presented several good
coats and suits at her mid.
season opening. and this coat
has proven the most success
full. You will see others in
Spired by it all through the
spring, but you might as we'll
have the exact copy, espe-
cially when you can have it
in the color you want, and in
a lovely fabric. The material
is "A corded or diagonal woolen,
soft and smooth, but with
enough stripe" to look very
new. It is Sketched in beige
with brown silk crepe lining
and scarf. but it is also avail
able in murillo blue, which is
a lighter than navy shade,
with scarf of red or of blue.
OF Military Origin
This coat is military in it's
inspiration, with sharply but
toned over closing, or wide
revers when they are down.
The double breasted effect, held
by many buttons, is sugges-
tive of an officers coat, and
gives a very broad-Shouldered
look. The fitted waist and slim
skirt section also make you
look broad of shoulder when
you wear it. You can vary it
by wearing a scarf of another
color with it. or no scarf at
all, as it is quite good looking
without one, and is very be-

Speculative sentiment is leaning
more to the side of reaction today

The constant churning of the
main body of stocks without any
appreciable progress is largely the
reason, plus the realization of the
extent of the advance in the last

Commodities, however, continue
to rise and stocks still meet buy.

It's a safe bet that most of the
people who ire specializing in

in telling one from another.
They probably think rubber is
a bunch of elaSticS. But it really
doesn't matter when it comes to
a showdown as long as you can
buy a commodity at one price

Big Money Needed
Big interests in General Motors

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 GN.sJ.
Fresh speculative buying from
Wall Street, commission houses
and wire firms came into the
Cotton Market in later dealings
today and checked an early de-
cline of about So a day.
These new commitments, after
stop-loss orders from sources here
and abroad had been executed,
pared losses about a third.
Professionals In and Out
Professional traders at the
opening were on both sides of
the market. Large blocks of cot
ton were thrown into the ring
by one group of professionals
only to be taken up by another
group.
Heavy profit taking sales
started the decline at the first
call when Liverpool was 81 to
$1.25 a bale lower than duo.
Hedge and southern selling
were also heavy. Mills and the
trade here and in Europe took
contracts out of the market on
the scale down.

HOLLYWOOD, May 81. U.P)-
The North Cover street branch
office of the Southern California
Telephone company was held up
today by three bandits who escaped
with $4,000 in checks and currency.
Police were told that two of the
holdup men were dressed as paint
erS.
The bandits held up G. w Jay,
superintendent and head cashier.
and Miss Ida Pearl, assistant cash
ier, as they stepped from a rear
entrance of the office enroute to
nearby bank.
Jay, believing the painters" were
joking when they demanded money,
tusSled with ore of the bandits for
a moment, until convinced they
were serious
The bandits escaped in a machine
parked in a nearby alley.
The holdup occurred during a
half hour the police radio system
was shut down for repairs. Notice
of the temporary shutdown for a
new antenua was flashed over the
system yesterday. Police believe the
two bandits had been tipped Off

FOUR MISSING AS
STEAMER SINKS
AFTER COLLISION

NEW LONDON, Conn, May 27.
(U.Py = Ploughing through heavy
seas in pea soup" fog, the Sa-
vannah liner City of Chattanooga
rammed and sank the Merchants
and Miners freighter Grecian with
a probable loss of four lives today.
The 32-year- old freighter sank
four and three-quarters miles north
of Block Island.
Rescue boats from the Chatto-
nooga had to work with greatest
speed to save 81 of the freighter'S S
complement of 35 officers and men,
for the Grecian remained aloft only
a few minutes.
Radio messages picked up at the
coast guard base here told with
dramatic tenseness the story of the
rescue and the search for the four
missing men.
Three bodies were discovered
several hours after the crash by
the coast guard destroyer Upshaw
which was on rum patrol only 40
minutes away when the Grecian
was rammed.
The Chattanooga remained at
the scene, its boats searching the
waters.
The master of the Chattanooga
reported his vessel was not badly
damaged and that he would pro-
ceed to Boston. The Savannah
liner later left the search to the
coast guard destroyers Upshaw and
Porter and headed for Boston.

Is selected freeholders on the ballot
for the July election was almost
assured today as Edward H. Law,
county clerk, checked the legality
of the signatures.
The petitions bear more than 5000
signatures, while only 496 are nee
essary to assure listing of the names
on the ballot. Those listed prob
ably will be elected to draw up a
proposed county charter, to be sub
mitted at later election.
The signatures were checked to-
day on four points, name, descrip-
ton of place of residence, date and
precinct number. A post office ad-
dress is not sufficient, the county
clerk declared in speaking of the
description of place of residence.
Several signatures have been de-
clared illegal because of this, while
others must be stricken because the
signers failed to include the year
in writing the date. Some signers
also are not registered voters.
An incomplete check, however,
showed 'that SO out of 73 signatures

newspapers in their district at gov
ernment expense. He refuses to ap-
prove kilograms of congratulation
or coincidence.
Generosity Curbed
Once congressman thought 1t was
quite clever to wire congratulations
to new postmasters, new pension
ers and new daddieS. Political and
personal messages are forbidden.
No cablegrams are approved now
except those sent by delegates rep
resenting the Philippines, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and Alaska. Yet these
rules probably are evaded in dozens
of cases despite the vigilance of
the accounts committee.
This committee recently found
one member telegraphing officials
Of county conventions in his state
congratulating them on their polit-
ical work. Another one sent con-
gratulations to all persons in his
district elected to any public office.
One member recently received a
petition on the tax bill signed by
100 persons and he promptly sent a
telegram of reply to each. Warren
refused to approve this account and
collected $50 from the member. He
took the position that the petition
could have been answered by letter
instead of by telegraphing hum
dred persons.
Formerly congressman cabled all
over the world at government eX-
pense concerning immigration cases
in which relatives of constituents
were involved. They are now re-
quired to make such communica-
tions through the state department,
Bills paid by the senate ran as high
as $15,110 for one month which was
checked. The maximum in the
house was $35,O82 though this in
cluded some back bills. One of the
members who is fairly busy said
that he seldom found it necessary
to use the telegraph. He said prac-
tically all inquiries could be answer
ed by letter. But as for the average
member, his motto is don't write

Egan Refuses To
Attend Inquest

SAN FRANCISCO, May q. U.P>--
The police guard at the home OF
Public Defender Frank j. Egan,
withdrawn wednesday at his re-
quest, was stationed at the house
again today following Egan's re-
ported refusal to accept subpoena
to appear as witness in an inquest
into the death of Mrs. Jessie Scott
Hughes, his old-time friend and
client.
The guard, Police Chief William
j. Quinn said, will remain until
Egan accepts the subpoena and
agrees to attend the inquest.
Mrs. Hughes, police contended,
was murdered by persons who
drove heavy automobile over her
body in an attempt to make her
appear a hit-run victim. Egan dis
appeared a few nights later after
repeatedly telephoning police two
men had him at the Ferry building.
He reappeared in private sani-
tarium a few days later. He re-
fused to discuss his appearance or

GIRL UNHARMED
IN WILD RIDE
WITH KIDNAPER

RIVERSIDE, May 81. (UPE -
Frightened but unharmed, attrac-
tive 20-year-old Mildred Cutler,
daughter of the chief of police and
constable of Perris, returned to her
home today after a few wild hours
in the company of an armed man
who abducted her from her escort.
The kidnaper, she told her
father, Chet Cutler, apparently lost
his nerve and he finally got out
of the automobile in which he had
taken her and told her to "go on
home"
Cutler and his son, Arthur,
headed a posse that went imme-
diately to a point near Hemet, 30
miles east of here, where Miss Cut
Ter said the abductor finally had
turned her free.
Miss Cutler and Homer Beal, 81,
a clerk, were sitting in his parked
car near midnight when they were
accosted by the armed man.
He forced Beal to drive two miles
down little used road and there
at pistol point forced Beal from
the car.
Beal was forced to remove his
shoes and then the kidnaper drive
away with Miss Cutler.
The girl, a favorite in the young
circles here and in Perris, said her
abductor seemed not certain about
what he wanted to do.
She said he made no attempt tc
mistreat her but as he drove from
one point to another he kept a
gun trained on her constantly.
"He drove with one hand" she
told her father. Il was frightened
I'll tell you I thought the gun
might go off accidentally.
Girl Sent Home
Shortly after daybreak we were
near Winchester" she continued.
HE stopped the car and got out.
He still held the gum He told me
to go on home and I drove away
leaving him standing in the road"
Miss Cutler said she believed the
mans name was Glenn but she
was uncertain.
Assured that his daughter was
all right, Cutler, who led a posse
through the night in search of his
daughter and the abductor first
ordered telephone calls made to
all people with phones in the vi
cinity of the point his daughter
said she was turned free.
He then took his posse there.
Without a car, 1 don't think
the kidnaper got very far" Cutler
said. Il expect we'll get him some
lime today"
