Three-Picce Suits With Waists ol Colored Embroidered Chiffon Net Will Be Correct Style. NEW YORK, June 28. (Special.) Woman's skirts are to be tighter than ever around the bottom, but looser at the top. They will have an eight-Inch slit in front to eke out their inches of width. Notwithstanding their scantiness, they will be elaborately draped. A stitched turned-up cuff, like those on a man's trousers, will -finish the skirts around the bottom. Three-piece suits with waists of col ored embroidered chiffon net will be correct. Many of the waists will have straps of skirt material In suspender effects. The coats will be cutaway 36 to 41 inches long. Evening coats will be 42 to 43 Inches, street and automo bile coats 48 to 52 inches long. All will be' draped. Coats and waists will show deeply sloping Japanese shoulders. Charmeuse cloth, peau de plche, ve lour de laine, brocaded eponge and woven moire will be the favored mate rials. ' " At 4 o'clock this morning the Na tional Association of Women's Tailors emerged, worn and weary, from a 24 hour session with the foregoing edicts. The wrangle over the width of the Fall skirt had prolonged the meeting six hours. Thirty-four states were represented by the delegates, and 22, led by New York and Massachusetts, stood Arm for narrow skirts. - An enterprising dele gate from Boston had figures to show that the stride of American women, while longer than that of French women,' Is not more than 15 inches, and the 36-lnch skirt accordingly won, with Louisiana and Delaware dissenting to the last. Along with the exceedingly narrow skirt comes of necessity the slit, but elaborate draping and easing over the hips will make sitting down a possi bility, since the skirt will be prevented from pulling up in front. HARTLEY HOME IS BURNED Mother With Children In Arms Leaps lYom Window to Safety. Cut off from any exit except a rear window, Mrs. Randolph Hartley, 1384 Moreland avenue, grasped her two small, children and jumped through the window, when " the explosion of an oil lamp at 11 o'clock last night turned her small cottage into a fur nace. .

VESUVIUS SPOUTS FIRE; LAVA FLOWS SOUTHERN" ITALY SHAKEN BY EXTENSIVE EARTHQUAKES. Professor Mercalll Regards Two Oc currences as Coincidence Only, Though Remarkable One. NAPLES, June 28. For the first time since 1306 flames were observed to day shooting up from Mount Vesuvius. Three slight earth shocks occurred prior to this, and the uppermost cratei of Vesuvius emitted a dense column of smoke, which frequently showed striking reflections of flames lower down, with an occasioned eruption of ;ire. . Professor Mercalll, director of the observatory, reports .that the lava streams which were recently observed are becoming continuous. He expressed the opinion tonight that the seismic movement on Mount Vesuvius had no connections with the earthquake in Calabria district, although he consid ered the coincidence surprising. He said the Vesuvius eruption was due to the recent heavy rains filtering through the cracks in the crater. ROME, June 28. Extensive earth quake shocks occurred in the southern part of Italy this morning, with the result that exaggerated reports. were circulated describing the disturbances as a grave disaster with a large num ber of victims. Official information was received by the minister of the interior tonight that the earthquake caused no dam age In the province of Catanazaro and was scarcely felt at Messina. Some houses were damaged, however, in the villages of Paola, Rossano-Marlna, San Marco and other small places near Cosenza. Some of the inhabitants of these villages are reported to have been slightly injured. 'LAZY HUSBAND' ARRESTED Walla Walla Man Prosecuted for Neglecting Family. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. June 27. (Special.)

SALMON PRICES ARE FIXED Snmll Run and Strong Demand Send Market Up. ASTORIA, Or., June 28. (Special.)

Ms jr r i l TO TERRORS OF HEAT Death List in Middle West Growing. INFANT MORTALITY IS LARGE Fatalities Will Increase Until Temperature Falls. OATS CROP IS DAMAGED Experts Say Grain Is Vlrtuallv Ruined In Four States Price In creases on Reports Many Prostrations Recorded. CHICAGO. June 28. (Special.) Twelve deaths of adults and 60 pros trations in Chicago in the last 24 hours Is the record of the protracted heat wave now general over the Middle and Central West. Fifteen persons were bitten by rabid dogs today and their fate probably will not be as merciful as that of the heat victims. In addition to the deaths in Chicago, two died In Indiana harbor, two at Gary, three at Cleveland, three in Milwaukee, three at Cincinnati and ten others at scatter!; points. There were numerous prostrations, a majority of them serious, in cities where no fatalities were reported. Oata Crop Thought Knlnrd. Reports received today at the office of large grain concerns from their agents in the fields say the oats crop has been practically ruined In Illinois. Missouri, Indiana and Iowa by the in tense heat and lack of moisture. Experts say the crop, already .-hort and heading at about H inches from the ground, cannot survive the 'recent siege Bf hot weather. Estimates place tne loss in the four states at $20,000,- 000. The price of oats has advanced 3 cents a bushel in this market in the last three days. Forty-two cents was quoted today, the highest price since two years ago, when there was a short crop. Predictions were made tonight that prices wjll jump when the Board opens Monday and more complete re ports of the damage aro at hand. Win ter wheat seems to be standing the heat fairly well and corn has escaped material damage. Infant Mortality Large. In addition to the death of 12 adults since 10 o'clock last night, 21 infants perished today as a result of the heat. Officials of the health del artment say this number will bo increased daily until there is a general drop in the temperature. A ray of hope was seen In dispatches from Salt Lake City and Duluth. Minn., where furs and over coats were much in evidence because of remarkable drops in the tempera ture. In Sal, Lake City rain and snow fell, and the temperature was 53, or 29 degrees below normal. At Duluth the thermometer registered as low as 42. With accommodating winds these chilly breezes would be wafted across the lake Into Chicago, but the predlc- Hons are for fair r.nd continued warmer, with south winds. A breeze off the lake this afternoon brought great relief to residents within half a mile of the water but it was swallowed up by hot blasts from the gulf region within a half mile. This explains why Chicago proper shows temperature of 89. while the suburbs and parts of the city not on the lake registered 96 to 105. At Rockford the hottest day of the year was reported, (Concluded on Page 2.) o C LS t AD DOGS ADD
