THE HOBKISG- OBEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 190o. 3 PANIC IS CAUSED BY HORRID MAN Models at Dressmakers' Con vention Stampede on . Seeing Him. CRY "LOW BRIDGE" RAISED XfCcturcr's Learned Discourse on Corsets With Demonstration on Iilvc Models Interrupted to Expel Intruder. CHICAGO. 6pL 19. (Special.) When y hear the cry. "Low bridge." It means It te time fr you t "duck." This applies lo the doings of the dressmakers' conven tion as well as to freight trains. The cry fell on doaf really deaf male ears today, and the pleasant-featured, mild mannered possessor of the defective audi tory organs sitting In the extremes rear of the hall apparently had witnessed nearly one-half of a ""corset demonstration" be fore he was detected. "When I was a child and lived in an apartment-house," Mmc Baker was say ing, "it wnetlmes was necessary for the various members of the family to travorse the halls in soml-scanty attire. So we ned the term low bridge whenever we wanted to clear the way. Now it is 4low brMgo' this time, and I want every man to get out of the room." Male Interloper Causes Panic. "Every man got," save he of the pleas ant features and stopped-up eustachian tvbs. Then Mmc. Marceau. "made in Parks." brought forth throe living models and proceeded to evolve some wondorful ttghtntng changes. "Kow, Mme. Baker, you'll surely toll us tf say men come into the room by mis take." Implored one of the models, who easily could have adjusted her shoe laee without lifting her skirt. "Or on purpose," added another. Mme, Baker assented, and, true to her promise, she looked about. Then came the warning. "Low bridge." It was full of meaning. Three excited models, attired snore emphatically en dishabille, leaped for the nearest shelter, which proved to he a roll of tissue paper. But it servod the purpose. When the air had cleared and the terri ble interloper was safely outside, the ex hibition went serenely on, the silence be in" broken only by Mme. Marcoau's sharp ly accented oommonts and the occasional laughter of a 'spectator. Couldn't See It Anyhow. Outride the door, where two secretaries registered visitors and answered inquiries, and where a tall and imposing male at tendant guarded the entrance, the cause of the recent rumpus was remonstrating against the summary treatment accorded "What's the matter?" he complained. "I didn't hear anybody tell me to got out. And besides. I'm so near-sighted I can't ten feet. "Really, the most harmless man who could have been there," remarked the doortender to the secretary. The corset exhibit developed the fact that Chicago girls' -waists are too small, even for the 10M porsots, wheh are tighter than they wore last year. A set of stays made in 13S of the straight-front variety affected by dames of the period, was an object of ltnoresi. Early in Ihe afternoon, a brunette man gave a learned disquisition on proper "hooking." "Get out of that 'feel behind habit," he he said. "It is becoming a crying evil. It Is getting so bad that actofs are aping you on the stage. The fault can be cor rected by the dressmaker if she will use propor materials."

T SEES PERSONAL EXAMINATION MADE OF BOILERS. Ensign Wade Too III to Testify, but Judge-Advocate Objects to Delay in Hearing It. MARE ISLAND, Cal.. Sept. 1?. When the Young court-martial convened this morning, a telegram was read from Acting Secrotary of the Navy Darling, asking that he be provided with the dally pro ceedings of the court, and also that a copy of the same be furnished to Commander Young. The court adjourned and proceed ed to the Mare Island Hospital to take the testimony of Ensign Wade. The court reconvened at MAO o'clock, when Judge Gear objected to the testimony of Wade being taken at this time in the absence of a report on the mental and physical condition of the witnesses. Charles G. Smith, passed assistant sur geon of the Hospital Service, was callled bv the court to testify regarding Wade's condition. He stated that Wade had been suffering from gangrenous appendicitis, and that an operation was performed. He said that Wade was now weak. His con dition was favorable for recuperation, but at present he was not able to stand any unnecessary strain mentally. He said that Wade was able to give testimony, but said that a long examination and cross-examination would have ill effects. The courts Inquired how soon Wade could stand an examination, and the doctor said that In two or three days he might be ready. After deliberation. Judge Gear's objec tion to the testimony of Wade being taken at this time was sustained by the court. The judge advocate said that Wade's tes timony was valuable, and he disliked to continue without it, but the court said that other witnesses could be called in the meantime. The judge advocate requested the court to visit the Bennington and view her boil ers. Some members,of the court said that such an inspection was not necessary. The judge advocate said that It would be seen by the court on going on the Benning ton, that the boiler which exploded had moved 14 feet, and the collapsed furnace oould also be seen. Commander Young stated that Lieuten ant Yates, now In command of the Ben nington, had communicated to him that the ship was ready to be inspected by the court. The court then adjourned to make an Inspection of the vessel. Ensign Sahm escorted the members of the court and pointed out the different boilers. When the court reconvened, a steno graphic report of Monday's proceedings "was read by Judge-Advocate West and the testimony of the witnesses was vor fled. The court then adjourned until to morrow.

TAKE TRADE TO HONGKONG Government No Sooner Leaves Field to Private Shipowners Than They Have to Eight for It.' WASHINGTON. Sept 19. Indication of a rate war between the transportation steamship lines operating In the Inter Island trade of the Philippines and foreign ships plying between Hongkong and other Oriental ports is contained in informa tion received here through Governmental channels. The Interlsland traffic of the Philippines la restricted by act of Congress to vessels having American register and operating under the coastwise laws of the United States. Three or four companies are op. eratlng lines of steamers In this trade, having been established under Spanish rule and lately transferred to the Ameri can flag. The companies have been de prived In the past of much business through the establishment of lines of steamers by the Philippine Government and the operation of transports by the Quartermaster's department of the Army. Just as the Govommont is to be with drawn from the trade, news comes that foreign ships operating particularly from Hongkong have made a rate from that port to the four principal ports of entry In the Philippines for foreign vessels, Ma nila, Cebu, Hollo and Zamboanga. which is less than the Interlsland rate between these ports. The result of this rate, it Is anticipated, will be to divert the com merce between these ports to Hongkong at the expense of Manila; that merchants In these cities will purchase their sup plies in Hongkong or elsewhere and aban don completely the Interlsland commerce. There is reason to believe that the inter lsland transportation companies will meet the new rate of the foreign companies. However, the American companies of the Philippines have Increased the cost of operating ships and arc restricted by the regulations of coastwise laws, and this has placed them at the same disadvan tage there that American shipowners complain of in this country, whereas Hongkong Is regarded as one of the least expensive ports In the world from which to ship crews. It Is understood that Secretary Taft has been placed in possession of 'the facts of this situation, which Is regarded as one J of the serious problems In the Philippine question. ALL POINTS NOT DECIDED Every Hope of Peaceful Agreement at Karlstad Conference. LONDON. Sept. 2.
