The new styles are making their appearance daily. As is usual with us the styles
first shown are of a distinct character those which depict the latest of fashion's changes,
seen today in coats that are longer and mofe fitted than formerly and in sleeves that
more snugly encircle the arm the Japanese effect modified and elongated. Skirts, too,
show a decided change, though plaited styles form the majority of those seen.
We call special attention to our model suits made by a Paris-American that is to
say, a New Yorker who spends most of his time and gets all his inspiration among
French things. What Paquin thinks will be good in sleeves, what Francis has decreed
in coats you will see in these suits. The prices are $50.00 to' $85.00 not extrava
gant for finely tailored and exclusive novelty suits.

CRISIS
NEAR
STRIKE ON WIRES
Operators Expect Peace Con
ference to Meet in
Few Days.
NEILL MAY MEET SMALL
I'nlon President Goes to New York,
Giving Color to Rumors of Nego
tiation, Which He Denies.
XeiU Still Busy.
CHICAGO, Aug:. 24. (Special.) A
crisis will be reached in the tele
raphers' strike within the next few
days, according to the expectations of
Chicago operators. Announcement to
this effect was made today by Frank
Likes, chairman of the local strike
committee, at a meeting-. Mr. Likes
declined to disclose fully his reasons
for .making this statement, but from
other sources it was learned that the
operators are expecting that some sort
of an offer will be received from the
companies within a short time.
In view of the determined stand
taken by both corporations against
dealing with the' strikers collectively,
this report was viewed with skeptic
ism in many quarters.
Says Companies Weaken.
It is said that many of the strikers
would be willing to return to work
upon the promise that they be given
free use of typewriters and a moder
ate wage increase. Recognition of the
union, it Is declared, would not be
Insisted upon.
The statement of Mr. Likes concern
ing a possible crisis was made during
a dispute concerning the advisability
of holding a strikers' meeting tomor
row. "There may be Important disclosures
to make tomorrow," said Mr. Likes.
"It is entirely possible that a crisis
may be reached."
When questioned later regarding his
statements, Mr. Likes said:
"Wo have information that the com
panies are weakening a little and it
looks as though there would be a con
ference between all parties concerned
next Monday. Our information Is that
the companies are now intimating that
an adjustment of the dispute may yet
jl)U reached."
t Small's Trip Starts Ituirtor.
Further color to the various' rumors
afloat was given by the departure in the
afternoon of International President S. J.
Small for New York. Mr. Small declared
that he was "on a tour of Inspection'
and had made no arrangements to meet
United States Commissioner of Labor
Nelll, President Samuel uompers of the
American Federation of Labor, or any
other possible peace envoy while in New
York. It Is believed; however, that he
entertains! hopes of opening negotiations
for a settlement while there.
The attitude of both Superintendent
Cook of the Western Union Company and
Superintendent Capen of the Postal Com
pany yesterday was the antithesis of that
of Mr. Likes and others In the strikers
ranks.
"The problem before us Is to handle our
telegraph business," said Mr. Cook. "I
might add that we are doing It. We are
not oniy receiving an Business, but send
ing out all messages as well. The strike
Is not bothering us."
XeiU Still Negotiates.
A dispatch from Washington tonight
stated that the officers of the local union
there predict a settlement of the struggle
before next Wednesday. Not more than
passing notice would probably be given
the statement were It not for the fact
that Mr. NeiU since he left Chicago has
been conducting all his negotiations
through the officers of the Washington
union. The Washington union officials
declared that the settlement would be
"honorable" to the union. Mr. Nelll
would not admit that he had information
that the end of the strike was at hand
While It is said that Mr. Nelll has- been
unable to make any progress In the direc
tion of arbitration, it is bci.eved in Wash
ington union .circles that the strike may
be ended by other means.
STRIKE WHEX "BOSS" LEAVES
Macon, Ga., Operators Walk Out
During Manager's Absence.
MACON. Ga.. Aug. 24. Manager W. B.
Stuart, of the local Western Union office,
left Saturday morning to reopen the Al
bany, Ga., office. When he returned here
he found only the chief operator and one

Historic Palace to Be Leased.
LONDON. Aug. 24. The "old palace" of
Klchmond has come Into the lease mar
ket. It was formerly part of the royal
palace at Sheen, once the home of Anglo
Saxon monarchs, and has history almost
as interesting as the Tower of London.
Edward III died there in 1377. After his
death the palace was "pillaged by the
servants. Richard II, with Geoffrey
Chaucer as Clerk of Works, added greatly-
to the building, and Edward IV settled
It on Queen Elizabeth. At the end of the
year 1497 It was burned. It was rebuilt
in 1501, and Henry VII died there In 1509.
leaving, it is said, treasure to tiie value
of $9,000,000 hidden In vaults which have
not yet been discovered. The last royal
person to reside In it was yueen Char
lotte, to whom a lease was granted In
1817. The palace faces Richmond Green.
It contains five reception-rooms, ten bed
rooms and two bathrooms, with stables
and coachhouses.

NAUGHTY
RECKS
DEMANDS HUGE FORTUNE
American Claimant's Step to Secure
$25,000,000 in England.
NEW YORK. Aug. 24. Special.)
Fresh from making a formal demand on
the Coutts Bank of London for (25,000,000,
Edward A. McShane, a Manhattan attor
ney, asserted that he was confident of
getting that amount for his client, L. A.
H. Heavlslde, of Flatbush. The man in
whose name he presented the claim Is not
to have any part of it save such as he
may receive through his wife.
The real claimant Is Heavlside's father-
in-law, William Fitzherbert. of Parkville,
and as he Is 79 years old, those who prob
ably will have the spending of the money
are his nine daughters and 38 grandchildren.
All of Fitzherbert's daughters are mar
ried. Three of them live in Brooklyn. If
they inherit almost 3, 000, 000 each from
their father they will have to thank the
foresight of Lady Fitzherbert, morganatic
wife of King George IV of England, who
Invested so shrewdly. Those millions she
deposited In the Coutts Bank, and they
grew tenfold.
Lady Fitzherbert, when she was merely
Mrs, Fitzherbert. a young widow with two
promising sons, attracted the attention of
the Fourth George, when he was Prince
Regent. Prince George wooed the comely
relict as only the first gentleman of Eu
rope could do. but his wiles didn't win
her until he consented to make her his
wife. As her marriage with the Prince
Regent was recognized as regular by
Rome, that satisfied her. Of course, as
soon as he found the union menaced his
right of succession to the British throne.
Prince George assured Charles Fox. Whig
leader of the Commons, there never had
been a morganatic marriage.
Mr. Fitzherbert. of Parkville. asserts he
Is a. lineal descendant of one of the two
sons Mrs. Fitzherbert had before she met
the Prince. The other son died without
heirs, he asserts. Edward VII, on ascend
ing the throne, ordered that the Fitzher
bert money In the Coutts Bank be ad
vertised, and thus it came to the Brook
lyn ite's attention.
That his claim might not lapse In the
event of his death before getting the
money, Mr. Fitzherbert assigned his in
terests to his son-in-law. Heavlslde, for
purposes or litigation, and all his daugh
ters did likewise. So It was that in Lon
don Mr. McShane demanded the money.
ATTACK NONUNION DRIVERS
Sew York Teamster' Strike Marked
With Xunierous Acts of Violence.
NEW. YORK, Aug. 24. Numerous
clashes marked the strike of drivers
of meat wagons today. Several non
union men were badly beaten. Most of

police, but in a few instances tin

tion, and claim matters will be In

NEW YORK, Aug. 24. Seventeen thous-
and machinists In Greater New York will

MONEY IN GETTING-HURT
Young Italian Purposely Gets- in
Way of Automobiles.
NAPLES, Aug. 24. (Special.) The
Duke of Aosta was motoring the other
day with his mother on the Via Roma,
when his automobile collided with a
young man named Russo. The Duke
stopped and took the man to a hospital,
where It was found that he had only a
slight flesh wound. 'The Interest taken
In the noble automoblllst's victim proved
to be unfortunate for htm, because It was
discovered that Russo for'a considerable
time had been living on compensations

practice and remarkable agility enabled
him to sustain a motor accident suffi
ciently serious to make sure of a hand
some indemnity from motorists, wno al

Witnesses Tell of Catching Wor
shiper of Multl-Mlilionalres in -Act
of Carrying Out His
Amorous Principles.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24. (Special.) Judge
Chetlain today granted a dlyorce to Mrs.
Oscar L. Triggs, wife of the eccentric
former University of Chicago professor,

combe free love colony and whose lec

much notoriety. Mrs. Triggs is permitted
to resume her maiden name-Laura Star
rette McAdoo, and secures the custody of
their son, Edmund Triggs. She is now in
Paris and her deposition was read.

mony as showing Triggs.' disregard for
the marriage vow. Herman Kuehn told

a quilt, was the form of a woman. One
pink barefoot protruded. Other witnesses
told of his escapades with various women.

tion by denouncing all church hymns as
doggerel and classing Rockefeller and

REPEATS KOEPENICK TRICK
Bogus Russian Soldier Uses Troops
to Guard Plunder.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 24. The fame
of the cobbler of Koepenlck seems to
have penetrated as far away as Harbin,
Manchuria. A few days ago a man In
an officer's uniform presented himself
armed with a power of attorney at the
treasury of the Trans-Amur division and
demanded 66,656 rubles, the estimated ex
penditure of the First Brigade for the
month.
The papers were in perfect order and .
the supposed officer received a check on
the Russo-Chinese Bank for the amount,
which was duly paid. Part of the money
was counted out In sliver coin, which
seemed to annoy the man, but as the bank
had a legal right to make part of its pay
ments In silver he consented grumbllngly
to take the heavy stuff, but telephoned for
a convoy of three privates, who escorted
him to the railway station.
There the supposed officer ordered the
men to stand guard over the bags of sliver
and left, carrying off the rest of the
money himself. The guard kept watch for
24 hours without any relief coming and
would probably still be there had not the
garrison commander made Inquiries from
the staff of the First Brigade, where noth
ing was known about the officer, his mis
sion or the money.
