Boston, Jan. 10.—The Supreme
Court of Massachusetts declared ille-
gal the issue of $67,500,000 6 per cent.
convertible debentures proposed by
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad.
The decision deprives J. P. Mor-
gan & Co. of the $1,687,500 (2% per
cent.) commission they were to get
for underwriting the issue.

ard Elliott and his colleagues on the
New Haven Board while théy were in
session at the Grand Central Terminal
offices, New York, preparing to com-
promise the dissolution order of the
Federal authorities.
The decision leaves the New Haven
for the time being without the means
of meeting $45,000,000 in short-time
notes which fall due May 18.
These notes are held by J. P. Mor-
gan & Co. Kidder, Pcabody & Co.
and Lee, Higginson & Co., of Boston. »
It was reported that anticipating
an adverse decision Chairman Elliott
had secured a pledge from these bank-
ers that the notes would be renewed
for three years and his administra-
tion financed for that period.
Even if the $45,000,000 of maturing
debts is taken care of, the New Haven
will not have the $22,000,000 with
which it had hoped to buy modern !
equipment.

New York, Jan., 9.
That New York is dance mad was
proved Yew Year’s Eve when at
nearly sll the restaurants people of
all ages ¢ inced out the old, and in
the inc.' ing year. The new dances
are so erty and graceful when prop-
erly da ced by the right kind of peo-
ple tha' one wonders at the fuss they
have occasioned until a glimpse is
had of the same dances done by the
other sort in another way. How it
will all end time only will tell but
just now the middle aged and older
dancers outdo their children and
grandchildren in enthusiasm.
SHO (T DRESSES THE RULE.
No doubt this craze is responsible
for the fact that almost everyone is
wearing vither short dresses, or little
whisps of trains, that are made to
catch up at one side into the draper-
ies, quite out 6f the way when danc-
ing is indulged. This fashion like
many orhers net designed for her
benefit, is turned to account by the
woman whose few gowns must do
service for many occasions. A black
satin frock that is short and practi-
cal enough to be worn on foot in the
street, under a smart warm coat
when that garment is put off, emer-
ges, with a dainty transparent bod-
ice, and fishtail train, drapded at a
touch from its concealed fastening.
Black taffeta is exceedingly smart
just now for afternoon wear, and
all the colored taffetas including
changeables follow a close second.
White and the paler tints are regu-
lated to gas light as a rule, though a
long all enveloping wrap makes
even these fgo at the popular after-
noon tea dances.
TRANSFORMATION GOWNS.
‘“Transformation gowns’’ is an apt
name for dresses that, worn with
a gamp are suited for afternoon wear
and without this separate appendage,
are correct for evening occasions. A
number of excellent models for such
frock are to be had and most of them
are easy to construct.
Dresses and suits of string color,
beige and similar tints are lately no-
table at the fashionable restaurants,
also pastel pinks and ivdry whites.
Such delicate colors need a tduch of
fine dark fur to save them from in-
BLAME CITY FOR CRIME WAVE
Up-State Police Authorities Say New
York Drives Crooks Into
Country.
Middletown, N. Y., Jan. 10.—The Up-
State police authorities are becoming
disgusted with the policy adopted re-
cently by the New York City author-
ities, which is driving criminals out
of the city into the country. The lo-
cal authorities state that within the
last two weeks more crooks have been
operating in Orange County than at
any other time in years.
The safe in the Chester post office
was blown and about $3,000 stolen. A
safe in the Erie station at Monroe also
was blown.
Clairvoyants in this city swindled
two women out of $710.. Another clair-
voyant got $400 by selling worthless
mining stock to a woman. One man
posing as a physician got $300 by bad
checks. Stores in Sloatsburg and
Cocheston were robbed.
J. C. SPOONER’S KIN KILLS 2
Ex-Senator’s Nephew Shoots Woman
and Then Kills Himsélf for
Cause Unknown.
Madison, Wis., Jan. 10.—John Spoon.
er, a nephew of John C. Spooner,
former United States Senator, who is
now practicing law in New York, shot
and killed Miss Emily McConnell, thir-,
ty-five years old, a Madison school
teacher, and then turned the revolver
on himself: Spooner, who is a son of
Roper Spooner, a brother of John C.
Spooner, was forty years old, married
and had two children. He was taken
to a hospital, where he died.
He called Miss McConnell into the
hallway at the school where she was
teaching, and without enagaing in con-
versation killed her. Nothing is
known as to the cause of the shooting,

FASHIONABLE WRAPS.
Supple wraps of fur in dolman or |
coat form are the choice of the wom-
an who understands the art of good:
dressing. These if of seal, broadtail

the woman who spends moderately
for her dress but there are beautiful

are lacking, but it is reported that
9,000 natives have risen in revolt, brok-
en out of the compounds where they
have been housed and sacked the town
of Jagersfontein. Several persons
are said to have been killed, while the
natives are said also to have lost sey-
eral in the fighting. :
The inhabitants of the town are re-
ported to have left their houses and
concentrated in a laager.
