4 ANARCHISTS IN DIABOLIC PLOT 10 MURDER AND LOOT i NEW YORK CMtlnned Proa* Flrat Pas*. and had discussed with him, and others, the police assert, the details of the widespread plot. From Baldo the police learned that the anarchists plans were to be developed in separate phases by groups of two and three men working together. Detectives were assigned to wati-h these groups and two men from eentral office were shadowing Carbone ttfbeii he wai afrented. Execution of Plot Delayed According to Baldo, Abarno had planned to wreck the cathedral a week ago late in the afternoon, but had post poned execution of the idea, partly at Baldo's suggestion. To-day, when he left his room with Baldo. half a dozen detectives, some of them disguised as la-borers and carrying dinner pails, trailed him to the church. The bomb was made of scrap iron in side a plaster of parts body. Inspector Egan, of the Bureau of Combustibles, said it was the deadliest he ever had Been. Most of the scrap iron was round knobs which had been wrenched from iron fences in front of the houses of New York City's wealthy residents. Where the Plot Was Hatched According to the police, the plot was centralized in the group of anarchists known as the Bresci group, so named because of t'he admiration which its members expressed for Gaetano Bresci, the man who killed King Humbert in Italy in 1900 At the time of this assassination it «was reported that a group of anarchists in New York and Patcreon, X. J., shared the plot. An unusual development of the case upon which Police Commissioner Woods Baid he did not care to comment for the present was the detention at police headquarters of Frank Baldo, the de tective through whom headquarters had learned of rhe gang's alleged activities. Baldo was placed under arrest —tech- nical arrest, it was assumed. Baldo is the assumed name for the -dete-tivc. His real name, Mr. Woods says, is .Eiuilo Polignani. It was announced at police head quarters this afternoon that Albarno had made a confession in which he ad mitted the existence of a plan to begin a reign of terror in this city which would include the a-*<assinatiou of Au drew Carnegie, John 1). Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt and other wealthy men. 15 GIRLS LED FROM BLAZE BY BLUBCOAT Continued I'roin l'lrit Fage. tograph studio, operated by W. W. Weeks, in the sum*- building.

LATE WAR NEWS SIiMMRY Continued From Flrnt Pace. several points near the Prussian border have failed. Washington is considering to-day what step shall be taken by this coun try following the announcement by the British and French governments that they would attempt to cut off trade to and from Germany. Great Britain's re ply v to the American proposals respect ing this general situation, however, is yet to be received. Germany has ac cepted the proposals in the main, in a reply which probably will be made pub lic in Berlin in a day or two. The attack of the Anglo-French fleet on the Dardanelles has been interrupted by uniavorable weather but a dispatch from Athens states that before the operations were suspended the two Turkish forts at the narrowest part of the straits had been silenced. It is stated that the Turkish army massed on the peninsula for defense of Constan tinople consists of 100,000 men. In Pcland the Russians are on the offensive along the "utire front. In the most important operations around Przasiiysz the Germans are said to have been defeated decisively and forced back across the border. Of the land operations the most im portant at present under way are along the East Prussian frontier, in Northern Poland, and in Champagne, on the western front. Concerning the latter engagement French and German re ports disagree sharply. Berlin states that the allies have been driven back while Paris claims that the French have repulsed strong German counter attacks and gained more ground.

OF INTEREST TOWOMEN FASCINATING SPRING MODES Boleros and Sliort Skirts Combine In Jaunty Costumes Turkish Trous er Skirts \ New York, March 2. With the first breath of Spring weather, costumes begin to take on springlike colorings. Hats in gayer colors or trimmed with bright flowers ami feathers announce to the world that Spring has returned, even when the suit or dress remains of the somber colors of winter. <'overt. cloth* has been the novelty in winter suits and is very popular in the spring, for it is light in color and com bines with many things. A new cloth called buck-skin covert is the newest of this type. A few days ago I received announce ment cards from a Fifth Avenue dress making establishment, of a private view of their newest models. Front the gen eral salesrooms 1 was guided into a gray and gold elevator and from there to an artistic room also in gray and white and gold. The simplest of small stages occupied one side of the room. A few chairs were placed carelessly around the room, and we made our selves comfortable for the review. A Smart New Coat on Empire Lines Boleros were the most striking feat ures showu. Short little bobby, sleeve less jackets, some cut square and straight around, others scalloped or slashed. These were worn over full blouses which bloused a trifle over the belt or girdle instead of being pulled straight down. Most of these wgre long-sleeved, while others had the bell sleeves, three-quarter or half-length, wide and unbound to the lower edge. The skirts were full and short, most of them being built on peasant lines, with full apron-like overskirts front and back, divided on the sides and showing a plain or ruftled underskirt beneath. j Another noticeable feature in these' dresses was the fact that they were all made with a normal waistline, an in teresting fact when one thinks of all the long-waisted and Empire lines which are shown as forerunners of Spring and Summer fashions. It is a fact that the frocks made on Empire lines are decidedly for the girlish figure while the rourid-waisted frocks suit all styles of figure more or less. Another type of costume shown here was taken from the 15th Century French costumes. The waist was in doublet effect, slashed several times front anil back through which the creamy white chiffon blouse peeped. A short pleated peplum finished the lower edge of the waist. This was worn over a full skirt with a pleated ruffle on the bottom. An interesting thing to re member is that these pleated ruffles which are used on the bottom of so many skirts are pressed flat and put on the lower c<]jje without a heading of any kind. In these dresses the long tunic was shown in many different styles. Some times with a pleated lower skirt show ing just below, and again with an un derskirt of filmy lace. One of these frocks I will describe in detail. The skirt had a long blue tunic striped with a thread of yellow and crossed with a satin stripe. This was slashed up about eight inches and faced upon the upper side with plain MEN ENTERTAIN YOUNGSTERS Three Hundred Boys Attend Feed at Stevens Memorial Church The Men's Clul> of the Stevens Me morial Methodist church gave a recep tion last night to three hundred boys of the Sunday school. It was without doubt the largest social affair of its kind ever held in the church. As early as 0 o'clock the boys be gan to arrive and from then until 7.30 they came in large numbers. A hot baked bean dinner with ice cream ahd cake was served! to tihie boys. A pro gram of good music and entertainment made the evening a very pleasant one for the crowd. On leading the church at the close of all the doings each boy was given a big red apple as a souvenir. Struck Face on Curbstone William Turbett, an engineer on the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was adimitted to the Harris burg Hospital at 12.30 o'clock this morning, suffering from a laceration a.bove the right eye. Turbett, who re sides at 1216 Fifteenth avenue, Al tooiia, says he fell and struck his face on a curbstone. blue. The pleated underskirt of plain blue just peeped out from beneath tho tunic. A short bolero jacket also slushed and bound with plain blue is worn over a white chiffon blouse with a narrow pleat down the center having a narrow frill on either side. The long sleeves had deep flaring cuffs of the stripnd silk with a frill of the chiffon around its edge. The collar of the blouse was very high with a frill of chiffon above and below. Another little dress which sported a short bolero jacket and chiffon blouse having deep bell sleeves of the chiffon, had a skirt which showed a new evolu tion of the tunic skirt. The skirt was of blue chiffon taffeta with two box pleatings around the bottom. The skirt was the full length in the back, but the front was the depth of the two box pleated ruffles shorter, and benoath were two box-pleated frills of white chiffon. The effect was stunning. Contrast is a strong note in the color combinations of the season. Many dark jackets were shown with white or light colored skirts. Wide leather belts were used on some of the dresses. One white serge dress had a red patent leather belt which was very effective indeed. A white chiffon afternoon dress showed the raglan sloeves with surplice fronts of filet lace and a loose panel of the filet lace in the back. The unusual skirt was made of chiffon with three graduated bands of shirred silk applied. Kach band was shirred jutpon a cord top and bottom which gave the band <a very pretty finish. A mode which is having quite a vogue and is both graceful and effect ive has been inspired by the Turkish trousers. This dress, however, is not a trouser skirt, far be it! There is a foundation skirt made shorter than the outside skirt and the lower edge of the outside skirt is gathered and caught to the lower edge of the underskirt and the skirt itself is bloused, if that term can be used, all around the bottom. The dress which 1 saw having a skirt like this had a very wide belt with large round disks on moons embroiedered on it in red and silver and jjojd. The New Basque Effect the Feature of This Costume A coat and a dress showing the long and the short-waisted effects aro shown in the illustrations. The coat in diagonal blue serge, with full skirt and belt with pockety upon each side is a late and practical model for the Spring coat. In the illustration the coat is worn with a sand-colored skirt. In plain and moire taffeta is the dress illustrated made in the latest basque effect. The bodice is given the long-waisted appearance by a panel front which is cut in one with a wide crushed girdle. This fits around the waist and hips rather closely combining very well with the full flarihg skirt. On many of those dresses where a little color is needed to give the proper note for contrast a corsage bouquet was used. There are many different kinds of these flowers, those made from vel vet or silk or chiffon and those made of ribbon. The newest ones show a pieot edging and are often made of picot-edged ribbon. The trimming on some of the early spring hats is very simple, often being but a strip of nar row ribbon, usually grosgrain, with a strand of beads, in dull white, blue or other dull color which will form a pleas ing contrast placed just above it. New handkerchiefs are showing nar row-colored frills around their edge of pink or blue or violet. The very sheerest of linen is used for those hand kerchiefs and the result is fluffy and dainty. | SUMMERDALE GOSPEL FEAST Total of $lO4 Raised Sunday at the Methodist Church Summerdale, March 2.—The M.
