The sweeping changes In the police de partment so long- expected, yet sa long deferred, have taken place. The old detective bureau resembled 80 cents when Chief of Police Martin got throuKh with it and- only tive or six of the old guard are left to teach the nov ices the trade. Between 14 and 18 detective sergeants who drew a salary of $150 a month slid ta the "fog belt." the "cabbage patch" or the "Jungles," as that region . extending on the- remote outskirts of the peninsula Is variously and facetiously ; termed. . . Captains' Turn Next. What Chief Martin Is going to do to the police captains is another sorrowful etory. as Kipling says. If the changes happen the morning after the ball and any of Martin's commanders decide on going to their stations Instead of . home on account of the lateness of the- hour, it Is feared they will meet with a cool welcome. They won't know their old homes. What changes and transfers will 'be made in the cases of the 700 members of the department is not on the tongue of gossip. The combinations multiply too rapidly there and it does not make much difference any way. According to current rumor, as soon as the McCarthy administration haa dis posed of several enemies in the tenderloin world, the game will be wide open with music and dancing all night. Several of the cafe proprietors, it ap pears, fought McCarthy during his fight and he wants to get even. One of the notable cases is that of Sandy McNaugh ton, who runs the Breakers, a basement resort. McNaughton started dancing the other day in direct- violation of police regula tions. The police ordered him to stop and then McNaughton secured a tempor ary Injunction, preventing the police from -entering his place of business. Sew Cafes Walt. More recently, he had a change of heart. He quit the dancing game and has been seeking a pardon at the hands of the Mayor. But as the story goes, the die has been cast and McNaughton must o. A number of new cafes have already opened in an unpretentious sort of way and it is evident that they are only wait ing for the word. On the jarbary Coast, there are several .all-night cafes where dancing goes ahead without interruption. Nothing new has happened to date in the fight between the Mayor and the Board of Education that he tried to de . pose. The preliminary struggle In the courts has started but that is all. Because the old Board members walked out after insisting that the police throw them out wTien they were first removed, the at torneys for the administration are trying to insist that there was no forcible ejec tion. MUTINY CAUSE KNOWN WASHINGTON OFFICIALS SAU TO HAVE BROKEN FAITH. Score of Convicts Who Refused to Work on Quarry Promised Re lease Iast Month. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 2. (Spe cial.) Because state officials broke their promises to convicts employed at Deception Pass rock quarry, the con victs refused to work and now are or dered back to prison . as mutineers to be punished. - - This Information comes from state ments made here today by Highway Commissioner H. L. Bowlby, now in charge of the camp. Six months ago when the convicts were taken to the quarry they were promised if they worked faithfully they would be given final discharges February 21, after six months' labor. This six months' plan has been the rule on all outside con vict work. Recently came the row between Bowlby and the board of control as to which department should have charge of the quarry, and Governor Hay de cided In favor of Bowlby. The latter knew nothing of the promise, nor did he attempt to learn anything. Febru ary 21 came and no discharges were re ceived by the convicts. They waited b. few days, nothing came, nor did Mr. Bowlby or his superintendent make an effort to communicate the facts to the board of control, which is also the state prison board. The first intimation here of the trouble was when Euperintendent Reed, of the penitentiary, wired yesterday tuat Bowlby reported 25 men had mutinied and asked that guards be sent to take the convicts back to prison. The situation Is now up to the Gov ernor to decide whether he will carry out the promises made by the board of control and pardon the men who have worked six months or whether he will punish them by forcing them to serve longer sentence for mutiny. Under the Indeterminate sentence law all of these convicts are entitled to dis charge now In the discretion of the board. Had they been discharged as promised the state would have several hundred dollars It Is costing to .trans port them back to the penitentiary.

Previous to a week ago he had suffered with rheumatism in his . left leg and at times was unable to walk.

Folks - Ordered to Go to DunvlIIe "Surely AVent" in Cripple Creek Strike Riot Times. I DENVER. March 2. General Sherman M. Bell proved a tartar for the attorney who called him to the witness stand to day In the suit of Mrs. Mary C. Carley against General Bell and others for dam ages because of the death of her hus band in the Cripple Creek riots in 1904. "I didn't get out any special written invitation to the mlneowners, the train men, the newspapermen, the deputies, the mihtla or any other person to go to Dun ville on June 8. 1904," asserted General Bell on the stand. 'They went at my command. It was I who ordered them on the train, and they surely went. I had charge of everybody and everything. I didn't talk with Mr. Carleton, the presi dent of the Mlneowners' Association, that morning. I knew my own business." There was no evasion in the replies of the stern warrior to the question of Mrs. Carley's attorney, who. sought to prove that her husband was slain by the or ders of General Bell, and also tried to prove that the . mlneowners were partly rMmonsihle. General Bell almost completed the f reading of the proclamation of Sheriff - ROCKEFELLER IN PORTRAIT AND SNAPSHOT. Edward Bell of Teller County, showing that the miners were in a state of insur rection. He said that he talked with the Sheriff of Teller County only before he gave orders for the mobilizing of deputies and troops.

C. Hyde's Elan aer suit against John G. Paxton, exe cutor of the Swope estate. There was little of the sensational in Mrs. Swope's story. With twinkling eyes and many smiles for her son-in-law's attorneys, Mrs. Swope told of many of the eccentricities of Colonel Swope, and then with all. seriousness expressed her confidence in Chassez Chase Jordan, the swarthy "yarb" man who has received between $10,00 and $20,000 for "doctoring" the Swopes dur ing eight years.

EYES The Fourth Showing of New Spring Foulards FOULARD SILKS. They are not a transient fabric a style brought out to satisfy one season's demand and then discarded. Their stability gives de signers each season new inspirations. There are women who insist upon having a Foulard gown every Spring. This year designers have adapted the more quiet, refined patterns, radically different from those shown in previous season. They are toned down. Simple, refined taste will see much to admire in them. In the collection shown you will find scores of designs in single dress patterns, no two alike. This gives to every woman an exclusiveness so eagerly sought for, and a diversity of styles that is bound to gratify. Where so much beauty and novelty are to be seen, choosing may be done at random without risk. Nothing short of a visit to our Silk Section will do justice to these Foulards. Dress Goods Were Never So Beautiful Before FROM PARIS FROM ENGLAND FRANCE GERMANY County, Kan., was searching for the herb specialist with a warrant charg ing him with practicing medicine with out a license. The warrant was se cured by James Meek. Assstant Prose cuting Attorney of Wyandotte County, after the State Board of Medical Regis tration and Examination had made complaint against Jordan.

Swope Feared Death. "Frances Hyde," said Mrs. Swope, in speaking of her daughter, "was1 Just as well pleased as any of ous when Jordan cured me." Colonel Swope never took any of Jor dan's herbs, Mrs. Swope said. All - the members of the family used them except him.

When the first Oriental Silk Fabrics were shown in Europe and created such a favorable impression, the foreign dress goods manufacturers cunningly took ad vantage of their popularity and reproduced the same weaves in woolen fabrics. These are exemplified in Priestley's, Tussah Royal, Mohair Shantung, Faille Ideale, Albion Poplins and Ottoman Tussahs. These weaves have won instant favor by their rare unique beauty and intrinsic merit. They are uncrushable, unspotable, positively dust shed ding. They come in a brilliant black and delicate Spring shades. Prices range from $1.50 to $2 a yard. Colonel Swope. according to Mrs. Swope, was an extremely eccentric old man. Constantly fearing death, he talked of his demise for years before his end. For 25 years he drank, becoming "tipsy," as she expressed it, the latter part of each; afternoon.
