BLOUSE FOR WEAR WITH SUIT
In spite of the fact that the one-
piece dress has apparently become a
fixture in Fashion's wardrobe, the
separate blouse still holds its own.
The blouse shown in the drawing is
intended for silk or linen material and
has originality of design which rec
ommends it. It is cut in peasant
style with an inserted band of lace on
either side of the front and on the
bottom of the sleeves. It closes on
the left of the front under a graduat
ed frill of pleated net. Small buttons
covered with the material are used as
trimming. A great many of these
UNIONTOWN, Pa., July 24. Forty
miners were- caught in a flood at the
Superba coal mines at Evans Station
three miles from this city, this after
noon. All are believed to- have beetl
drowned.
Torrent's of water are entering the
mine in two places. Water is rushing
down the mountain, and it is believed
the Cool Spring Reservoir, the larg
est in Fayette County, located in the
mountains, has broken .
The Pennsylvania Dailroad, the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad and West
Pennsylvania trolley track have been
washed away. . .
Little hope is entertained for the
town of Evans. The wives and chil
dren of the miners are in danger of
being carried into the mines unless
they leave the mouth.
Relief parties have been formed, but
up to 2 o'clock they had been unable
to reach any of the men.
The business section of Dunbar, a
few miles from Evans' station, is un
der four feet of water. Several busi
ness buildings already have been de
stroyed by the rush of water down the
mountainside. The debris is piled 25
feet high -at a bridge of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad and it is expected to
give way at any moment.
The latest reports at 2:45 p. m., are
that 14 of the miners have been
drowned and there is little hope- of
rescuing the others alive. Torrential
rains continue and further loss of life
and damage is expected.
The Cool Spring reservoir was re
ported to be leaking badly this after
noon and there is danger of its going
out. If the dam gives way the water
will sweep down the mountain on the
towns of Lemont, Youngstown, Mount
Braddock and Dunbar. It is estimat
ed that 20,000 persons reside in the
four towns, and the loss of life and
destruction of property, it is feared,
will be great. "
TREATY NOT BINDING;
I
WASHINGTON, Tuly 24. Hanriis
Taylor, former Minister to Spain and
a writer on international law, publish
ed an open letter here today contend
ing that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
voidable because of the situation aris
ing out of the Panama's ceding the ca
nal zone to the United States.
"There is no room for Bair-splitting
on that point," writes Taylor. "Within
the canal zone the United States is
sovereign for purposes of internation
al law. Under the law it is well set
tled that a treaty becomes voidable,
not void, whenever a change has tak
en place in the fundamental conditions
existing at the time it was made."
The writer quotes Hall, the English
authority on international law, in sup
port of that contention.
Taylor refers to Russia's repudia
tion in 1870 of certain portions of the
treaty of Paris relating to the Black
Sea, and contends it set a precedent
upon which the United States may
act. In conclusion the writer contends
in part:
''We must take the firm stand under
the well-defined principle of the In
ternational law as promulgated by the
Russian precedent of 1870, that after
there has been an essential change in
the conditions existing at the time the1
treaty was made it becomes voidable.
In that way we can justly lift the
question out of the domain of the In
ternational arbitration, where we
could never obtain a fair hearing, into
the domain of diplomatic negotiation
with Great Britain, where we will be
sure to receive fair and friendly consideration."

at Busch's hall Saturday night,

DES MOINES, la., July 24. With
the preliminaries disposed of at dist
rict caucuses, the Iowa Progressives
were ready to act today upon the plat
form, which was expected to endorse
the candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt
for President, when the First Iowa
State convention, of that party open
ed. Conferences were held at head
quarters during the greater part of
last night, and it was announced ear
ly today that it would be noon before
the document would be in shape for.
presentation to the convention.
The temporary chairman, Frank
Randall, of Cedar Rapids, made the
"keynote" speech.
"Theodore Roosevelt is fighting that
his brothers shall not continue bound,
and the Progressive party is with him
in the fight."
This was the closing sentence in iSie
speech of Randall. The speaker in his
opening sentences had said:
"We are not with Roosevelt; he is
with us! with us in our battle for eq
ual political opportunity, with us in
our struggle for truly representative
government."
Randall declared the new party was
needed "to carry out the promises of
the Republican party," and continued:
"Fair promises and poor perform
ances have characterized this party
under standpat manipulation. The
majority in the party has stood for
the right, but by reason of a stand
pat President .influenced by wealth
and privilege, the right has not pre
vailed. We need a new party because
the bosses are in control of both of
the old ones, the Democratic as well
as the Republican. They say that
Woodrow Wilson is a progressive, but
we must not forget that there is a
standpat wing in the Democratic par
ty that will control that party despite
anything Woodrow Wilson can do. It
will be of no avail to forsake Taft for
Wilson." ,
Criticism of the Chicago convention
and the National committee, which
caused the defeat of Roosevelt was
followed by the declaration " that we
represent something more than a
mere rebellion against the action of
the Chicago convention. We are re
volting against the system of whtch
the Chicago convention was only an
incident." .

For the week to date very little bus
iness has been reported in the Oregon
hop market, and for the time there
seems to be an easier feeling all
around, both, in 1911s and 1912s, than
was the case last week. This in part
is attributed to the general slacken
ing of the demand and in part to the
uniformly favorable crop prospects, on
the Coast and in most of the produc
ing countries of the world.
In this state, in Washington and in
California reports say that the yards
now make a better showing than has
been known " in years. The weather
and everything else to date has favor
ed the crop, and as a result a yield of
very large proportions now is count
ed all but a certainty. Dealers and
growers say there is small danger of
developments between now and har
vest time that would in any serious
way affect the crop.
Dealers are quoting 22 to 25cents,
nominally, on 1911s, but say' there is
so little demand for the old crop now.
that the marketing season for that
growth may as well be ' considered
practically closed. Small orders come"
in from time to time, and as a rule
these are filled without serious diffi
culty, the growers clearly realizing
the tendecy of the market at this time.-
