Trousers that are not trousers, skirts that are not skirts, but a combination of both the trouserine wfl be offered by Chicago dressmakers as the "cure" for that naughty but popular slashed skirt. Hereafter modern woman will pull on her "pantasklrt" over her feet, not over her head. The dreams of many decades are coming true. The woman Is going to wear the trousers. The modistes say, "Let her have 'em," and that set tles it. When the Chicago Dressmakers' As sociation, which is determined to make Chicago styles the styles of the Na tion, opened warfare on the little slash that first disclosed only an lnatep, then an ankle and finally well, some are covered by lace insertions its members began searching for a respectable yet satisfying substitute. Every one knows that trousers are perfectly respectable, and if on the man. why not on the woman? The newest in feminine limb cover ings is Just a great flaring ankle length pair of pantaloons so covered with drapery that on the street, one would never notice them at all. Trou sers and drapery are all one and there Is no Mexican slash in the trousers either. TWO SAVED FROM LAUNCH Fishing Boat Negotiates Rogrue River Bar With Three Aboard. WEDDBRBURN, Or., June 8.

LOBBYING BECOMES MAIN TARIFF ISSUE New Reform Measure Likely to Result. REGISTRATION IS FAYORED "Manufacture" of Sentiment May Be Prohibited. PRESIDENT WINS POINT Purpose In Starting Inquiry Now Seen to Be to Hold Members of Own Party in Line When Final Vote Is Taken. WASHINGTON, June 8 . Neither President "Wilson nor the Democrat managers of the two branches of Con gress could estimate tonight what ef fect the Senate's remarkable 'lobby- In vestlgation" would have upon the progress of the tariff bill, the currency reform plan, or other business of Con- gress In the six days of grilling; to which it has subjected Senators themselves, the investigating committee has se cured information and opened chan nels of investigation that are likely to have an important influence upon the whole course of legislation in the future. New Reform Proposed. Progress on the tariff bill has not been hindered by the lobby investiga tion, but it is believed tonight that before the reconstructed Underwood bill finally gets into the Senate for de bate the lobby investigation will have become a direct issue in the fight. None of the alleged "lobbyists" has been questioned as yet, but facts brought out by Senators on the witness stand and the course the committee has determined on for the future make it clear that Congress will be urged to consider these issues: A registration law, requiring every "lobbyist," legislative agent or other person who comes to Washington to Influence legislation to identify him self and the interests he represents at once. The condemnation, and possible pro hibition, of the present system of "manufacturing sentiment" in a state to influence that state's Senators or Representatives on certain legislative matters. Registration Would Be Required. Already three bills have been Intro duced in the Senate to require registra tion of lobbyists. They have been put in by Senators Kenyon of Iowa, Weeks f Concluded on Page 2.) t NEW WORLD SEEN BY BOY ATHLETE ETTA H I . T RIDES OX FIRST TRAIN, SEES MOVIES. Streetcars and Autos Are Revelation, but He Still Prefers Place He Came Prom. CHICAGO, June 8. (Special.) Chi cago entertained a modern youthful Rip Van Winkle Saturday and Sunday.

This Rip of modern times, Clinton Larsen, who hails from Dixie High School, St. George, Utah, won second place in the high Jump at five feet seven inches in the Maroon Inter scholastic meet Saturday. His school is 60 miles from the nearest railroad train. He drove by stage to Salt Madena. Utah, where he got his first train ride, and the new world opened to him. More wonders were unfolded to him when he reached Chicago, for here he got his first automobile ride, saw the "movies" for the first time and strained his neck gazing at the high buildings. Asked what he thought of all the things he saw while in Chicago, he said: "I am going back to Utah. I don't like your big icity." TABLOID "BOOZE" APPEARS Maine Drinkers Gladdened by New Way to Circumvent Laws. BANGOR, Me., June 8. (Special.)

For a tabloid booze drummer has come to Maine and is doing a rushing business In condensed drinks of all kinds, from plain whisky to cocktails, and from beer to gin fizzes. The drum mer carries a considerable stock of tablets with him for immediate de mands and arranges for further and unlimited supplies by mail. Nobody here knows anything about the constituent elements of the tab lets, but nobody cares, so long as they produce something that looks and tastes like liquor. The tablets come in little paper boxes or glass bottles of a dozen each and the price varies. A small vial of tablets costing 13 cents, dissolved in a gallon of water," with other Ingredients costing '60 cents, makes a gallon of what passes for whisky, at a total cost of 63 cents.

INQUIRY'S RANGE RESTRICTED Senators Will Leave District if Trouble Threatens. BORAH'S TASK IS FIRST Idaho Senator to Question Witnesses on Snbject of Peonage In Paint and Cabin Creek Coal Regions. WASHINGTON. June 9. Confronted by a complicated situation, constantly grpwing more Involved, the Senate sub-committee named to investigate West' Virginia coal strike conditions will leave for Charleston tomorrow night. Examination of witnesses will begin Tuesday with the appearance of scores of miners summoned by the agents of the United Mine Workers to testify In relation to charges that the workers in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek coal fields are kept in a state of virtual peonage. Senator Borah, of Idaho, who has especial charge of this branch of the Investigation, will hear the first wit nesses. Miners to Tell Experiences. Paul J. Paulsen, of the International Mine Workers, has been in West Vir ginia for a week collecting tho wit nesses and It is expected he will have on hand about 100 men to give their experiences in the West Virginia coal mines. They will be followed by wit nesses testifying as to alleged inter ference with the postal service by mine guards, violations of the immigration laws, tlie shipment of arms and am munition into the strike territory and the "arrest, trial and conviction of citi zens In violation of the constitution or laws." , The annou ement of the indictment In the Federar?',rt of officers of the United Mine Wc -Is -s charged with having conspired - ltn coal operators in Pennsylvania, Oh.c. ndiana and Illi nois to embarrass WeaJ Virginia mine owners by promoting tne strike, and the news of further labor outbreaks in the New River coal field of Vi' est Vir ginia have complicated the strike Kit uation further since the Senate adop-rT . - H v 1 its resolution authorizing the inquiry. Indictment Cannes Limitation. The charge of conspiracy on the part of operators in other states to cause trouble In the West Virginia field is one of the principles embraced in the Senate resolution and the indictment may force the Senators to materially limit their efforts on this point. Intimation of mine operators who were here last week that the advent of the committee into the Btrlke zone might cause the cauldron of discontent to bubble over again did not frighten the Investigators. However, if there is any appearance of a recurrence of riot and disorder the committee may decide to leave the strike district and return to Washington for a "long dis tance inquiry."

"The indictments against the mine workers' officials in the Federal court came as a surprise to me. As to con ditions in the Paint and Cabin Creek coal fields, the civil authorities have absolute control and have had for some time. I am giving them assistance with a detail of five soldiers. This merely Is a precaution to assist the civil au thorities in guaranteeing that violators of the law will be properly dealt with and In order that a continuation of the satisfactory conditions that now exist in the coal fields will be more surely guaranteed. 1 shall relieve these five militiamen when the civil authorities feel that they can cope with the situa tion, and when I can be satisfied that each and every workman has ample protection against any injustice or mistreatment."
