PAGE SIX THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1912. OOOOOOOGCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Women's Column OOOOOOOOOOOCXJOCOOOOOCOOOOO PADS THAT HA VIS "CAUGHT ON" Approbation of Fashion Secured by a Number of Striking Innovations. Waists of real lace, notably those In Veniso and Irish, are much seen, and Irish laco coata nro being reviv ed. Long handbags of theso mater ials are much in evidence, being Bwung from long cords and carried with lingerio dresses. Nenrly all of the latest lingerie dresses aro of pure white. That is, they show practically no colored em broidery. Tho color is usually added in tho garniture of girdle, sash, tunic, coat or princess slip. Cotton ratine is having a great popularity for misses' suits, with crystal or ball ivory buttons for trim ming. It is one of tho now tube ma terials In demand for Bhirtwalsts. Laco trimmed and laco covered parasols aro nmong tho spring and summer novelties. Laco covered fans aro also having a reign of popu larity. Thero is a new red srade, known as "primrose red." It originated in Paris, and seems to bo a combination of wine, fralso, grosiollo and cerise shades. It Is claimed that the com bined tints aro more artistic than a distinct color. Uso of lllnck Hibbon. Black ribbon Jewelry is tho strik ing contribution to smartness made now by tho designers of fashionable gowgaws. The ribbon chosen is of tho watered or moire kind, and In all cases is allied to precious stones. A watch for tho wrist is a fas cinating trifle. Tho band is compos ed of ribbon, and tho watch is mounted in platinum set with dia monds, the combination of black and whlto making a very striking orna ment for tho wrist. Such a wrist rwatch is not heavy to wear nor over whelming in appearance; indeed, quite the reverse. Us of Hrluht Colors. Though gray is again to bo in great favor, yet there are to be some lovely bright colors seen in dress this season, and our modistes are unlike ly to forget that tho success of all such bright colors lies in the mod eration with which they are used. At a sensational dress show last week the draped skirt and the bunch ed pannier were features of many of tho models, and the modified color touch proved once more how telling it is. For instance, a fawn colored, embroidered tussore coat and skirt had a Chinese red collar, which gave it a cachet. From this exhibition wo learned that black patent leather is again in favor for belts, and that oriental embroidery is in greater de mand than over. Fashion Notes. Brown, which is not usually class ed as smart, is much worn this sea son. One sees brown chiffon coats and overdresses, veils, hats and plumes. A new shade with a pur plish tinge to it Is especially effective and becoming. Tho pannier has met with an en couraging reception. Tho panniers aro not bunched upon tho hips, as of old, but tho traperles descend to the hem of tho gown, whero they aro caught up with a handsome orna ment of somo variety. Very popular for motor wear is tho veiling of shadow chiffon. This veil ing comes In biscuit, cerise, golden brown, gray, a pretty shado of laven der and green. A faint thread of black runs through tho chiffon, mak ing tho veiling peculiarly becoming. Belts, which play an important part in tho summer wardrobe, are seen in stunning combinations of both material and color. Ono of black kid, studden here and there with gilt nail heads, has shaped pieces of soft red kid run through eyelets. The square buckle of black kid Is perfectly plain. To be absolutely In touch with tho present season's fashion tendencies, ono must bo more than careful to avoid too great severity In one's frocks and afternoon gowns, or even in one's tailored suits. Touches of hand embroidery, braid trimmings, hand-bound scallops, hand-embroidery yokes and revers of real lace all of theso are among tho good feat ures of tho modes of today. For evening dress tho very tight long sleeve, with a square decollet age, predicted somo time ago, has made its appearance. For tho decoration of tho garden party or country hat, wreaths of liowers, berries, or fruit aro now moro often applied round the edgo of the brim, than as heretofore about tho crown. Ono charming example In natural color straw was trimmed with little black and red cherries with foliage, a black ribbon velvet passing round and over tho crown. tho strings knotted loosely under tho cum. Nearly every gown of tho lingerie description Is trimmed with ribbon, but tho ribbon In a'most every in stance Is threaded through tho foundation, and only appears as a kind of shadow, gleaming through tho interstices of tho laco or em broidery. Tho color is usually re peated in tho caso of tho walstbolt. and a pretty fashion is that of lin ing tho sash ends of tho latter with another color, tho palest shell-nlnk being chosen In tho majority of cases. A now hatpin 1b in Ivory, tinted to look like a roso, sometimes pink, sometimes yellow, sometlmos deep red. Ostrich feather bows aro worn in Taris with white satin gowns. Bands of sablo trim white inous Eollno do solo dresses. Now styles in middy dresses aro shown Tor littlo girls. Somo of tho newest hair oma ments aro of marabout. Tho ono-nlcco dresses buttoned all tho way dawn aro as popular as ever. Crazy In Moderation. Wife If I woro to dlo. Phil, what would you do?

IT takes a big thing to bo talked nbout for moro than 0110 day lu New York. By Uila token tho Ro senthal cnno 1h a very big tiling, for tho Gothnmltcs luivc been talking of it for porno weeks now and bccui more interested than ever. Tho metropolis has not been eo stir red by the murder itself, although that was sufficiently sensational, but by tho evident conspiracy behind it. In a word, the chargo heard from every lip is that Rosenthal was killed bocautx) he wna nbout to expose tho corrupt al liance between tho gamblers and tho police. Clrcumstnntlal ovldouco of po llco graft will nlways start New York to seething, and It haa certainly been busy in tho seething lino during these hot weeks. Tho papcra havo had mul tiplied columns and first pago scroam heads every day, tho mayor and police commissioner havo been writing let ters and Gotham has been humming with tho matter nil the "way from tho underworld to Fifth avenue and from Connecticut to Jersey. The publicity of tho caps is stirring other cities. Stories of pollco graft are heard in Chicago nnd Philadelphia. It is not impossible that the Bhooting of this gambler may start a wave of in vestigation tliat will not only sweep over New York, but will reach other American cities. In this aspect it Is of vital importance to tno cutiro nation. Tho story of the crime itself is now ancient history and needs but a brief reforence hero. At about 2 o'clock on the morning of July 1C, Herman Ito sonthal, a New York gambling house proprietor, was sliot to death In front of tho Hotel Metropole. Rosenthal had been dining In the hotel, -which was filled with peoplo. On the Great White Way. The Mctropolo is situated on Forty third street Just n step from Broadway and in tho very heart of the city. This is the famous Times square section at the upper end of the Great White Way. Within a block are tho Hotel Astor, tho Knickerbocker and other ho tels, lobster palaces nnd famous thea ters. Even at 2 o'clock in tho morning tills section Is as light as day nnd the streets arc still alive with automobiles and people. There were said to bo fifty persons within sight of tho shoot lug when It occurred, and several hun dred gathered a few moments later. Seven pollcomen havo posts within a block. The shooting was done by four men, who ran to a gray automobile standing across tho street and by It were whisked nwny. A plain clothes man eating n few tabloa from Rosen thal heard tho sliootlng, ran out and, Jumping into a taxicnb, tried to catch tho fleeing motor, but soon lost the trail. None of the pollco got tho cor rect number of tho gray car, but one private citizen did get It, and he was arrested for his pains. The events preceding and following the nrrcst were equnlly significant Rosenthal had boon in consultation with Charles & Whitman, district at torney of New York county, and had given Information both to him and to tho press concerning police protection for gamblers. The day following his murder lie was to havo furnlBhed Mr. Whitman tho namoa of many of thoso paying for such protection. Rosenthal assorted that LleutennntCharles Beck er, bond of tho "strong arm squad," to whom had tecn Intrusted tho raid ing of gambling eotablishmcntR, bad advanced him money, had boon his partner in tho gambling business and had received a certain percentago of tho profits. Despite the fact that Ikj had paid for IKtlico protection, Rosenthal complain ed that his plnco had locn raided by Becker and tliat a policeman had boon posted In his hooao for months, al though tlw usual procedure was to wltiulraw tlw "coo in nbout twenty four liours after n raid. This determin ed tho gnmblcr to fight or, In tho lan guage of the fratcnUty, to "squeal." Whitman on the Job. Following tho murder of Rosenthal, the pollco boo rood strangely inactlvo in making arrests. When a citizen, as ulready stated, reported tho correct number of tho gray car tho owner nnd drivor woro apprehended. From them were learned tho names of thoso who did tho Bhooting, yet, with ono exception, Uiceo men remained at largo for wooks. Jock Roso, who had hired tho car; "Bridgey" Webber; a gambler in wltow lionso tho gang had met prior to tho murder, nnd Frauk Vallon, or Vallnsky, a go-between, voluntarily gnvo themselves up. "Da go Frank," ono of thoso alleged to havo dono tho shooting, was found in u flat stupefied by opium. Jacob A. Reich, who Is known as Jack Sullivan, tho "king of tho nowBboys," was iden tified as ono of thoso at tho sccno of tho critno ami wob arrested. Roso confessed, implicating Lieuten ant Becker as tho actual instigator of tho assassination, and Docker was ar rested while still In his pollco uni form. Rose's confession was corrobo rated by Wobbor and Vallon. Tims matters stood moro than two weeks after tho shooting. Many of tho arrests were mado by District Attorney Whitman and his Gre&i Scandal Probe May Show Alliance Between Police and Outlaws. small corps of detectives, nnd nil of tho confessions were obtained by him. Whitman was the man on tho Job. Not only has ho mado practicnlly all of tho progress that has been mado in unraveling tho conspiracy and ap prehending thoso guilty, but now is In n fair way to find the "men higher up" nnd to bring about an exposure that has not been equaled since tho dnys of the Iexow Investigation. Yet, despite nil that ho has accomplished and is in a fair way to accomplish, he has boon assailed while on thin case, nnd that by no less parsonages than Mnyor Gay nor nnd Police Commissioner Waldo. Graft of Millions. Jack Rose did more than to impli cate a police lieutenant in the murder of Rosenthal. He also told In doixll of tlie collections made by the iwllee from the gamblers and other law breakers. Ho said that ho had acted ns Becker's collector and therefore was familiar with conditions. He gave It ns his opinion that 2,-100,000 was col lected yearly by tho pollco from Il legal resorts. Others claiming to bo Photos of murder cur and Waldo by American Press Association. 1.

POLICE COMMISSIONER WALDO. familiar with conditions are now say ing that this Is n consorvntivo estl mato; that indeed It is but a drop in tho bucket compared to tho total po llco graft These sny that Rose knows nothing of conditions in certain parts of Manhattan Island. General Theodore A. Bingham, for mer police commissioner, onco stated In a magazine artlclo that tho pollco graft In Greater New York amounted annually to tho enormous sum of $100, 000,000 and added that this was under rather than over tho truo amount Others on tho inside aro said to have laughed when they heard that Roso placed tho figure at $2,400,000. Tho underworld of Now York evi dently has sonvo news to tell that part of tlw inhabitants living in the sun shino. Probably all of It will never be told, but even these few little hints havo given tho big town such a Jolt ns it has not received In years. Now for tho other sldo of the story, for there is another side, although It Is not being bilked of much in the news papers. Whatever wo may believe of tho truth of any given situation, It is only fair that everybody bo given a heariug. Pollco Commissioner Waldo does not bcliovo thero Is any grafting, at least none on a largo scala. Ho lias gone Into rather elaborate details to provo that protection money would do nobody any good oven if paid. Ills ar gument in brief is that ho has several squads raiding tho gambling houses and that theso work Independently of each otlicr, tho head of ono squad knowing nothing of tho activities of tho others; therefore money paid to ono man would bo no protection against tho other raiding squads. The "System." So far as I know, nobody questions Rhlnelander Waldo's honesty or his word. The only thing tliat is ques tioned is his knowledge of actual con ditions under him. It Is a popular mot to among tho New York pollco that "commissioners como and commission ers go, but tho 'system' goes on for ever." That is tho Gotham namo for it tho "svstcin." It wns tho "system" In LexowB day, and it is tho "system" now. Tho knowing ones nllego that it is essentially tho same "system" now ns then. A few littlo angles havo been knocked off, but tho body remains. Yet Mr. Waldo's statement is worthy of respectful consideration nnd nt least in part is borno out by known facta. For example, It Is truo that thorn nro different raiders working In dependently of each other. Thero Is also n peculiar confirmation lu Rosen thal's own story. If It is truo that ho was paying Becker, why did Becker raid his place, nnd why was n iwllco man kept In the houw for months, contrary to custom? The wols-wnliclm-crs say that Becker's raid of Rosen thal's place was a fake, but that tho placing of the "cop" on the promises was not. This was tho work of Waldo, or, rather, of Mayor Gaynor. Tho story haR been published In several of tho newspapers that when Gaynor nnd Magistrate Corrlgan had their row a year or more ago over Corrlgan's al legation of n "wide open town" and graft conditions Gaynor got tho Idea tliat Rosenthal had Informed Corrlgan; therefore Rosenthal's plnco must bo closed. Some of the mayor's feeling ngalnst the dead gambler was display ed in recent letters, in which ho descrll cd Rosenthal In nnythlng but compli mentary terms nnd expressed his sur prise nud grief that Lieutenant Beck er should have dined with such a man. Are There Only a Few Crooks? Tho Waldo statement throws somo light on this whole Rosenthal nffair, for if the gambler did pay for protec tion which ho did not recclvo the ex istence of the independent raiding squads would explain why he did not recclvo It. This would make It ap pear that If thero was graft omong tho police it was confined to a few in dividuals and did not affect the activ ities of tho force generally. Thero is nothing lu the confession of Rose that would disprove this theo- ry, for his dealings were nil with Bockor. Even if Becker divided with men "higher up," as Roso alleges, this still might be true without affoctlng tho force generally, for nmong 10,000 men thero may bo a number of crooks and yet tho vast majority romain hon est On behalf of our faith in human nature let us believe that this or some thing like it is tho truo explanation. Waldo Is not nlono In nsscrting tho absence of graft among tho police. Many other high officials of tho de partment have mado similar state ments. It Is hardly possible that graft could exist wltlwut these men having Bomo inkling of the fact that Is, un less it was confined to a few crooks who covered their tracks. Mayor Gay nor has also expressed his faith in tho honesty of tho pollco, whilo ripping it into tho newspapers and most every body clso. So If Gaynor, Waldo and high pollco officials havo faith in them selves nnd in each otlicr why should wo not have faith in them also? Yet against nil this pleasant opti mism stands tho ono grim fact that Herman Rosenthal, gambler, was shot down at the Hotel Metropole only a few hours before ho was to glvo cvl denco against police graft And now, ns ever, one fact is worth a thousand theories. WOULD LIMIT APPEALS. Wlckersfiam Advises Congress Regard ing Commerce Matters. Attorney General Wickersham has advised congress that ho does not ap prove uny proposition to giro shippers a blanket right of appeal to tho corn merco court from nil so cnlled negntlvo rulings of tho interstate commerce com mission, no favors appeals only from such decisions ns involvo questions of law. Mr. Wickersham make It plain that shippers should not bo permitted to appeal on questions of fact as to tho reasonableness of their requests for re ductions in rates in cases whero tho commission denies tho relief. Tho ap peal should Ho only when tho commis sion refuses to decrenso n tariff be cnuso of its supposed want of Juris diction. Tho luwful power of tho in terstate commerco commission to act in tho premises should, tho attorney general says, bo determined by a court Honesdale National Bank Honesdale, Pa.
