with pleated ruchings and frills of the
material. The bodice which closes in

velvet bows is drawn back at the wast
line showing a vest of lace. Lace also
fills the "V" shaped neck. Down the

little bows that trim the bodice are

MESSAGES PUZZLE
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Aug 1. A
controversy arose at the resumption of
the Darrow bribery trial today, over
the cipher telegrams which passed be
tween those interested in the McNa-
mara defense, copies of which had
been furnished the Darrow counsel by
the prosecution.
- The defense attorneys asserted that
several of the messages could not be
deciphered by them and demanded
that they be furnished the key to the
code. They maintained that the key
furnished by Assistant District Attor
ney Ford yesterday was insufficient.
The latter replied that he had no other
code. . . -After
a half hour had been consum
ed by arguments, Clarence S. Darrow,
the defendant, took the stand for fur
ther cross-examination. Mr. Ford re
sumed his inquiry into the telegrams
which passed between the defendant
and Attorney Leo M. Rappaport, of In
dianapolis, counsel for the Internation
al Association of Bridge and Structur
al Iron Workers.
PARTY PLANS FISHING
AND HUNTING TRIP
A good time .is in store for the hunt
ing and fishing party composed of Dr.
G. L. Jenkins, Jake Smith, Frank Free
man, W. B. 'Stokes and H. L. Young,
that will leave this city Saturday eve
ning for the Bee Hive Ranch in the
Molalla country. The work about the
camp will be done in a most system
atic manner, each member of the party
knowing his duty before leaving the
city. Dr. Jenkins will stretch the tent
as he is the tallest man in the party.
Dr. Jenkins also will look out for the
cutting and "stirring" up of the fir
boughs, which will be used for the
beds' Frank Freeman, and W. N.
Stokes, the muscular men of the party
have been assigned the duty of gath
ering the fuel, and if they do not keep
the cook, Harry Young, well supplied
with fire wood, they will be punished
by being allowed nothing but water
and flapjacks. Young, the only man in
the party who has had any experience
in the culinary line, will be the camp
cook. He made such a reputation in
preparing salad for the Commercial
Club entertainments that he was at
once voted by the young men compris
ing the camping party to have charge
of the kitchen. Each man before
leaving this city will be weighed, and
those who lose in weight will be serv
ed a banquet by Mr. Young upon their
return. Those 'who gain in flesh, will
have to give a banquet in honor of the
chef. Mr. Young is gathering all of
the recipe books he can find, and has
logt considerable sleep during the past
fortnight arranging for the menus.
Jake Smith, although not fond of man
ipulating the dish rag, drew the
"lucky" card in having the position of
dishwasher handed to him. He stat
ed that this was the worst "lemon"
that he had ever been handed, but
rather than stay at home he was glad
to accept the honor of being dishwash
er of the "Bee Hive Camp."
MOOSE DRILL TEAM
E
At the regular meeting of lodge 961
of the Loyal Order of Moose of this
city, for the first time the drill team,
lad its first chance to show what it
could do, and it must be said that it
acquitted itself exceedingly well. This
was the first initiation which the lodge
has had since the charter closed, and,
although the fact was not widely
known, the boys turned out in great
number and an enthusiastic meeting
at which almost half the members
were prestn to greet the new member
of the herd.
Great praise is due to the entertain
ment committee, which certainly sur
passed itself not only on service, but
in the dainty way in which the lurfch
was served.
Another initiation will be held at
the next meeting of the lodge, and, ac
cording to the present arrangements,
a week later a dance will be given by
the degree team.
APPEAL FOR HELP
EL PASO, Tex., Aug. 1. Scores of
messages have been seirt to Washing
ton from El Paso and other border
towns, appealing to the United States
to take some steps which will secure
protection for Americans, in Mexico.
In many instances messages are be
ing sent in the names of entire com
munities as in the case of one from
Marfa addressed to Congressman W.
R. Smith. The message said:
"If the United States ca.nnot handle
the Mexican situation, let Presidio
County handle it."
The appeals, in most cases, are be
ing sent to Congressmen and Senat
ors, but some have been directed to
the White House.
The arrival last night of two train
loads of refugees from the Mormon
colonies of Pachuca, Chuchupa and
Garcia has brought the number here
to a full 2500.
O. P. Brown, one of the Mormon
bishops, in a note to a local paper, de
clares that the "time has come for the
American people to act, if the Mexi
can government is unable and the
United States is unwilling to protect
its people in a foreign land. '
SUICIDE ATTEMPT ALLEGED
" IN GRACE TRIAL
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 1. Attorney
Branch in outlining the defence of his
client, Mrs. Daisy Grace, accused of
attemntine to murder her husband
charged today that Grace's wound was
self inflicted following a quarrel with
his wife.
The quarrel, he declared, was over
the power of attorney given to Grace
by his wife and which Grace expected
to use in Philadelphia March 8, when
he disposed of his wife's property
there:
The defense announced that 14 wit
nesses, including two doctors and a
nurse, who are expected to testify that
Mrs. Grace is soon to become a moth
er, would be called by the defense.
Attorney Branch bitterly denounced
the prosecution. He promised to show
that Grace did nothing for a liveli
hood and that his wife spent $20,000
in setting him up in business. Branch
further asserted that Grace plotted to
get his wife's money and treated her
cruelly.
The defendant will testify tomor
row. HOTEL ARRIVALS

AUTOMOBILE STRIKES
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 1.
Near the end of the sensational Mar
athon race to the summit of Mount
Baker and return, which started last
night and ended this morning, the on
ly serious accident of the event oc
curred here, when the automobile, car
rying Westerlund, the last of the rac
ers to arrive, skidded in rounding a
corner within a few feet of the finish,
crashing into a crowd of spectators
and crushing A. A. Rogers, a Civil
War veteran and a prominent politi
cian. Rogers suffered a broken leg
and severe cuts on the head, and is
hurt internally." At the hospital little
hope is expressed that he will live.
OLD POTATOES ARE
What to do with the fairly liberal
stocks of old potatoes that remain
is a problem that commission men are
trying to fathom.
It has been found impossible to sell
the stock recently, and almost every
day adds to the volume of offerings.
While 25c a cental was offered about
a week ago for small supply, handlers
did not believe that this price was suf
ficient, therefore refused to sell. The
result is that no other offers have
been received for the tubers, and they
are taking up valuable room in the
wholesale houses, besides, being the
cause of friction between shippers
and receivers. .
The former seem to be" of the opinion
that the commission men are not try
ing to sell them, while the latter are
worrying themselves because of their
inability to please the shipper.
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:
DRIED FRUITS (Buying), PruneB
on basis 6 to 8 cents.
HIDES (Buying), Green hides 6c
to 7c; salters 7c; dry hides 12 c to
