The Tailored Suits of a dressier
nature reveal endless possibilities in
designing. At first glance we per
ceive the finished effect, and the im
pression leaves us charmed. On sec
ond thought we ask: "Is it the style
of the suit itself or the odd little
touches here and there the way the
sleeve is joined, the tiny suggestion
of a vest, the wee pocket in which to
tuck one's dainty bit of handkerchief v
that makes siich a lasting impres
sion?" Perhaps it is both combined,
for does not the style depend to. a
large extent on these feminine ideas?.
Certain it is that the cut of ; the
New Suits could not be improved
" upon, nor the tailoring. Coats are
sharply pointed, and are broad and
tight or loose, as the fancy dictates.
The skirts are wonderfully designed.

TUFT SPEAKS ON
RIGHTS OF ALIENS
Tells Lawyers Humiliating Im
potence of Federal Gov
ernment. CANNOT PUNISH VIOLATORS
A'cgteot of Congress Prevents- Ka
t forcement of Treaty Kights If
Foreigners Are Murdered We
Can Only Give , Money.
NEW YORK, Feb. 29. Elements of
tilings political did not enter into the
speech deiivured by Secretary Taft to
night at the annual, dinner of the
Brooklyn Bar Association at the Union
league , Club, Brooklyn, and, suiting
his talk to the occasion, he expounded
his views on "The Constitution of the
I'nited States" in an address often
broken by. applause from his big audi
ence of lawyers. The Secretary care
fully avoided any reference to poli
tics and confined himself to the sub
ject matter of his address.
Mr. . Taft expressed the conviction
that it was plainly in the power of
Congress to provide by law for protec
tion of aliens in their treaty rights. In
tnis connection he said; .
Protect Aliens' Rights.
Certainly Congress ought to take
some steps directly authorizing the
Executive to use the forces at his com
mand to protect the treaty rights of
such aliens and ought to vest the
courts of the United States with power
to punish the person who would violate
such alien rights.
' In the case of the Mafia riots in
Tjouisiirina, whore Italian subjects were
deprived of rights secured by the
treaty of the United States, and in the
more recent owes in San Francisco,
where Japanese subjects were deprived
of their rights by lawless violence, the
embarrassment of the National Gov
ernment in attempting to protect and
vindicate those rights Is known to all
men. It puts our country, now become
a world-power and entering into
treaties of this kind with every gov
ernment on earth, in the most
pusillanimous position of promising
Unit subjects of another country shall
be property treatt-d and then o-f hav
ing no means of carrying out the
promise or of punishing those who vio
late it.
Makes V's Ridiculous.
A foreign nation has nothing to do
with our internal concerns. By the
Constitution a foreign nation is obliged
to look to the Central Government and,
if it deals with that Central Govern
ment and that Central Government can
make a promise, it can only look to
the Central Government" for a redemp
tion of the promise. We are in a situa
tion now to say to our foreign friends
whose citizens may be assaulted or
murdered in violation of treaty obli
gatlons: "Wo can soothe your feelings by
paying out of the Government treasuijy
the value of those lives, but we can
not save them. We cannot punish any
body for taking them."
T confess that this lack of Federal
power, due wholly to inaction by Con
gress, savors of that doctrine which
attracted so much ridicule when it was
advanced, that it was unconstitutional
for states to secede, but was unconsti
tutional for the Central Government to
try to coerce' them. -
Secretary Taft was this afternoon
elected a member of the. new board of
trustees of the Jeanes fund ot $1.0JO,
000, which is to be used to lay the
foundation of further negro education
in the South.
TAFT RECEIVES MORE SUPPORT
Manager Hitclicock Gets News - of
' Additional Indorsements.
' WASHINGTON". Feb. 29. Frank . H.
Hitchcock, Secretary Taft's campaign
manager, today received a dispatch from
A. A. Whitner, chairman of the Republi
can Congressional Committee of the Ninth
District of North Carolina, stating that at
a meeting of the committee at Hickory,
N. C, . today, a resolution was adopted
unanimously indorsing Mr. Taft for the
Presidency.
Mr. Hitchcock tonight received dis
patches from the chairmen of the County
Committees of Union, ' Henderson and
Buncombe counties, North Carolina, stat
ing that at meetings of each of these
committees today. Secretary Taft was in
dorsed for the Presidency without a dis
senting vote. Hp also received . a dis
patch from San Francisco to the effect

MEET TO INDORSE W. J. BRYAN
Nebraskan's Election Urged by Xew
s England Democrats.
. BOSTON. ' Feb. 29. A score . of sup
porters in New England of the candidacy
of W.. J. Bryan as Democratic candidate
for President at tend eel the meeting of the
New England Democratic " Progressive
League here today, and later participated
in a' larger gathering of Mr, Bryan's
followers at Faneuil Halt. The league,
through its executive committee, called
upon all Democratic state and district
conventions to instruct all delegates to
vote for . Mr. Bryan, and called upon all
Democrats to heip secure his nomination
and election.
Alexander, Troupe,' of New Haven, pres
ident of the league, conducted the meet
ing, at which there were present dele
gates from all the New England states.
George Fred" Williams presided at the
dinner at Faneuil Hall, and Mr. Troupe
was the principal speaker. Mr. Troupe
said he believed that 95 per cent of the
rank and file of the New England De
mocracy was in favor of Bryan's nomina
tion. He said:
The '- Republicans have been in control
over 12 years. They have held unlimited
sway in the executive, legislative and
judicial departments, and we want to
inquire of them who now profess to be
Democrats- and were allies of the Repub
lican party in and 1900, what they
have to say to the masses of voters in
1J8, who are out of work or on short
time at reduced wages, and instead of
the full dinner pail, are looking for the
nouphouse or besieging the municipal au
thorities to take measures to open up
work to keep them from starving.
There can be but one result if you do
your duty from now on, and you cannot
only hope, but with reasonable certainty
believe, that Mr. Bryan wfll not only b
nominated in Denver, but will triumph
antly be elected President of the United
States in November.
SAYS THAT PARTY IS DYING
Bryan Sees . Republicanism Fading
Before -Democracy.
JACKSON, Miss.. Feb. 39. Before the
members of the state Legislature and
several thousand Mississippians, Wil
liam J. Bryan made characteristic
speech today in the Century Theater.
Mr. Bryan said the Democratic party
Is growing stronger every day in spite
of defeat, whilethe Republican party :
is elowly but surely dying. The de
mand for freedom of speech Is becom
ing universal and public sentiment
tends more and more towards popular
government and it will not be stayed
or checked.
Mr. Bryan warmly indorsed the cur
rency, bill. -. prepared by John Sharp
Williams, saying It was the best meas
ure of the kind that had ever been put
before any Congress.
Mr. Bryan, in his address, made
caustic reference to the four Demo
crats In the Kentucky Legislature -who
cast their votes for the Republican
Senator yesterday. He referred to
them as "embezzlers of power," and de-.
clared that the embezstler of power is a
worse malefactor than tho man who
embezzles money.
At the conclusion of the address a
resolution indorsing Mr. Bryan as the
Democratic candidate for President
was adopted by a rising vote, every
man, woman and child in the theater
rising to his feet and applauding the
Nebraskan. .
Mr. Bryan was asked concerning a para
graph in the current issue of the Com
moner, reading as follows: -
"Watch the personnel of the delega
tions to Denver. Money Is being used
in' some of the states of the Mississippi
valley to secure delegations which will
be obedient to the predatory Interests.
The Democratic masses must not be be
trayed by representatives of that sys
tem." !
When asked concerning the evidence
in support of this charge of bribery,
Mr. Bryan said: ,
'I wrote that paragraph myself, and
know what I am talking abou- I
have my information from a man who
overheard a conversation on the aub
ject." When asked what interests are be
hind the movement, Mr. Bryan replied:
"I am convinced that it Is the Inter
ests representing the trusts and the
railroads. They don't hope to prevent
instructed delegations In the Missis
sippi valley states, but they are trying
to get a personnel of delegates who
will be unfriendly to my nomination."
SHOOTS WEALTHY WIDOW
Lios Angeles Mining Man Says She
Threw Acid on Him.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 2S. Evi
dently as iBe result or a quarrel over
their winnings at llic races, Mrs. Char,
lotte L. Nriycs, a young widow, of
Boston and Newburyport, ;Mass., was
shot and instantly killed early this
morning in her apartments at the fash
ionable West Lake district. Her as
sailant was W. P. MeComas. a mining
engineer, who lias been paying tho
woman attentions for some time.
MeComas, who voluntarily surren
dered to the police, declares that Mrs.
Noyes attempted to throw sulphuric
acid in his face. He lirst shot at the
ceiling.' he told the authorities, and
then when the tiery acid stung his
face, shot the woman. The detectives
do not believe his story, declaring that
he deliberately applied the acid to hi
face in-order, to how the burns that
he now uses to support his story.
In contradiction of MeComas- story
is the fact that Dr. G. W. Campbell,
acting for the Coroner; held an autopsy
in which it was found that two bullets
passed through the woman's body. An
examination of the revolver developed
the further fact that MeComas had at
tempted to fire four shots, but that the
weapon had twice snapped. .
The first known of the tragedy was
when at the close of a ball at the Hotel
Pepper, close to Mrs. Noyes' home, Me
Comas, his face stained with acid. ap.
pcared in the midst of the guests and
inquired for Deputy Sheriff V. C. Carey,
of the hotcj, to whom he announced
that he had killed Mrs. Noyes. The
police were immediately eummoned and
the body of Mrs. Noyes was found on
the floor of the dining-room, where
she had evidently fallen. When asked
for a -statement, MeComas said to the
police:
'I -have known the woman for five
years and she has been bothering me.
1 could not stand it longer and put
an end to it."
Detectives who searched the elab
orately furnished apartments of Mrs.
Noyes discovered a sheet of paper, pre
sumed to contain an account of the
operations of MeComas and Mrs. Noyes
at the racetrack. It showed heavy
winnings up to two weeks ago, but the
total losses, all seemingly during the
last few days, amounted to between
$3000 and J5000. The list was kept In
the handwriting of Mrs. Noyes. A
bundle of special delivery letters
showed that Mrs. Noyes had directed
to her dally a statement of "tips" on
the races.
Mrs. Noyes was formerly wife of a
salesman for a prominent Boston mil
linery house. It Is said the couple were
married In Newburyport 12 years ago
and divorced fivea years ago in Cali
fornia. Mrs. Noyes is eald to have
possessed considerable property in
Massachusetts. Since her arrival here
Ahe had invested liberally in real
estate located in neighboring towns,
and several days ago closed a deal for
the purchase of a residence on McClln
tock street in this city.
MeComas, who has resided at :1613
Flower street, is about 40 years of age.
He is the son -of a former territorial
judge in the Southwest, his family hav
trig been massacred by Apaches when
.he was a small boy. As a mining en
gineer he is known the length of the
entire Coast. He married several years
ago, but was separated from his wife.
