NEW YORK, April S.—Anothsr
wave of reform has struck and com-
pletely engulfed. New York city, and
nowhere its effect is more keenly felt
than in the Tenderloin district. By
order of the mayor the licenses which
permitted a large number of places
where liquor la sold, to keep open all
night, have been revoked and the po-
lice have received strict orders to see
to it tbsi all such places be closed
upon the stroke of 1 in the morning.
Just what prompted the mayor to is-
sue this order is not known, but it is
believed that he was driven to it by
the numerous complaints he received
Fads and Fashions
NEW YORK, April 5.—The pre-
vailing style of afternoon go was, with
its infinite variety of materials and
combinations enables designers to
give full sway to their taste and in-
genulty. Charmeuse and serge, char-
mouse brocade and chiffon, taffeta,
erepe and embroidered chiffon
combined on the same gown.

conclusion that the only way he could
stop these performances without
showing partiality was to treat all
alike and compel all drinking places
to close st I o'clock In the morning.
Most important new features are .
those providing absolute riding
comfort. No jolting, no vibration.
The Cradle Spring Frame
is the greatest of all improvements. Riding on the Indian it like riding on air, so
smooth is its running. There’s no strain on the nervous system and no unneces-

increased by the new spring system.

Ready for Spring
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The case of Henry J. Klotz, who
was arrested a few days ago upon
the charge of having killed a woman
known In the Tenderloin district as
Helen Taylor, by means of a bomb
which be sent to her apartment on
February 3, 1912, presents an inter
sting psychological problem. It
seenis to be another case of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde. Klotz is a draughts-
■nan and for 17 years he has held a
sosition in the topographical bureau
if the city, enjoying the absolute con-
fidence of his superiors and friends.
Ie was a skilful worker and faithful
in attending to his duties. An invess
ligation by the detectives is said to
have established the fact -that this
side of Klotz’s nature formed 3
trong contrast with the Individuality
he presented outside of office hours.
After leaving the office Klotz was in
the habit of returning to his father’s
home in the Bronx. There he se-
eluded himself in an electrically
ruarded loom, where he spent his
time manufacturing bombs and infer-
ial machines, or he slipped out of
' the house unseen, to drink and car
rouse with the dissolute women of
the White Light district. There he
was known as "Crazy Henry,"and
had a large circle of acquaintances
among the men and women of the
underworld.
While at work in his well-guarded
room about a week ago a bomb with
which he was experimenting exploded
and Klotz was seriously injured. He
was taken to the Fordham hospital
and the police began to investigate
the cause of the accident. The de-
tectives found certain evidence which
made them suspect that Klotz had
been responsible not only for the ex-
plosion which killed Helen Taylor,
but for a number of other bomb ex-
plosions which resulted In the death
or Injury of several persons, Klotz
was arrested at the hospital and will
be carefully guarded there urttll he
shall be able to leave that Institution
to go to jail.
Queer Ordinance
At last the board of aldermen has
seen fit to modify by the passage of
an ordinance one of the most objec-
tionable features of the stupid Suli-
' van low. The ordinance permits any
reputable householder or storekeeper
to keep a loaded revolver in his
home or store, provided he obtain a
permit to that effect from a magis-
trate, the police commissioner, an In-
spector or lieutenant. The fee fol
each permit is $1 and the money
shall go to the police fund.
Queer Predicainent *
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch is one
Of the leading suffrage workers in
this part of the country and has
always been extremely active in agt-
agitating and proselyting for “the
cause." It Isa rather interesting
, and somewhat peculiar fact that Mrs.
Blatch is a British subject. She was
born from American parents at Sen-
eca, N. Y., but married an English-
man, who is engaged in the broker-
age business on Wall street. By her
marriage she became a British sub-
lect Some time ago Mrs. Blatch ap-
plied for admission to American citi-
zenship, but the federal district court
decided that she could not be ad-
mitted because she is married to a
British subject. So long as her hus-
band remains true to his British al-
legiance Mrs Blatch cannot recover
her native citizenship. It is not ex-
peeted, however, that this decision
of the court will interfere with Mrs.
Blatch’s activity in the suffrage
cause.
seasons past. The printed and em
broidered chiffons are excellent
holes. The designs are large and
the colorings bright, Cabbage roses
are outlined in black, and are seen on
tan or old blue marquisette, chiffon
and silk crepe. Crepe de Chine and
crepons are printed, and many of
them show * rough finish. Callot
has introduced a plaid chiffon in pas-
tel tones An iridescent moire taffeta
plays * conspicuous part in the ma-
terials for the afternoon models.
Bodices are transparent, in many
instances all white. Blouse and bole-
ro are both good style and their ef-
recta is youthful. Frequently waist
and sleeve are one. The kimono
sleeve and dropped shoulder seam Is
still much used, also the bishop
sleeve shirred in tightly at the wrist
with frills of lace or tulle at the
hand..,
Balkan buttons are a novelty. They
are large and jeweled to match the
costume. Collars resembling the
Elizabethan ruff are new. They are
high at the back and roll Into revers
In the front All of the afternoon or
theater gowns have a gemi-decollette
neck, round or V-shaped. Few traines
are shown in this informal frock. Al-
most’ without exception these models
are slashed and an illusion petticoat
may be worn.
Sashes are an interesting feature.
They are applied in every manner,
draped on the waist line or about the
hips. They hang from the ahouldor,
cross In the back and fall in a knot
over the deft hip. The treatment of
the sash, ranges from the severest
bands to the softest folds, and it may
be a mere piping encircling the waist,
or it mayrextend to the armpits.
Evening gowns this spring, though
lighter in tone and less barbarte to
character than formerly, are just as
elaborate as ever The simple little
gown is no more, except for the dance
frock. Colors are varied In one fab-
ric and several fabrics, differing in
and almost dull in tone. This la
essentially a color period, although
black or black and white is always
in demand. Sometimes a touch of
black or very dark green appears as
a contrasting note to give character
to a gown of color.
Laces of soft texture, also those
of gold and silver thread, nets, bead-
od, embroidered and bulged, artificial
flowers, festoons of French ribbon
and chiffon rosebuds, crystal banding
and velvet ribbons are the accepted
materials for trimming.
Drapery is a feature of all the
gowns and is very beautiful, that fol-
lowing the diagonal lines being most
used. Trains of different shapes and
lengths are still a part of the conven-
tional dinner gown. The newest train
is cut square, although there are also
many pointed trains. Dumay has In-
vented an Ingenious way of booking
up the train when dancing, so that
it seems naturally draped in a cas-
cade effect, as a part of the gown.
The old method of having a loop on
the end of the train, which must be
held on the finger is both ugly and
troublesome.
Once upon a time the sleeve ruled
the world of fashion; today it is ig-
nored. The sleeveless gown or wrap
is spoken of, which means thst if a
piece of lace or drapery somewhere
in the vicinity of the shoulder should
resemble a sleeve it is accepted as
such, but trouble is not even taken
to make the two sleeves of the same
gown alike. Often enough one arm
boasts of a sleeve, while the other
has none.
Scarfs with ends banded with wide
printed borders in Bulgarian colors
and design give an Interesting touch
of color to the light or white eve-
ning frock. One of a deep golden
yellow shows a design in blocked
squares, crescents, cirries and dots in
clear green, red, blue, black and
white. A black scarf shows a similar
design printed in blue, red and white.
Rich red and a light and vivid shade
of green form the foundation colors
for other scarfs which are bordered
with contrasting bright designs.
Sashes in red, green, black, white
and yellow, combined in stripes, are
made of wide silk ribbon with a cen-
tral wide stripe of velvet. These
sashes are finished, with black silk
tassels four or five inches long. They
would supply character and style to
white frocks of crepe or ratine.
A popular use for the rich Bulga-
rians silks and ribbons, which are so
plentiful this spring, is in trimming
hats, Hany dark strawa nave silk-
covered crowns. Shirred facings of
silk or ribbon are also used. Flat,
wide bows of figured silk trim wide
shade hats and pert, upright wired
bows on small hats. Ribbon stream-
ers are used on a few big bate.
The oldest and most striking of
color and design and combined In one
garment: lace of every conceivable
kind and- material is use-1 as trim-
ming. Brocade is still In high favor, the artificial flowers used on spring

ones being made in brocade designs.

Silent Twelve
Justice Jaycox of the Queens coun-
ty supreme court evidently thinks
that there is a great deal in a name.
The other day an organisation re-
cently “formed in Long Island city
under the name of “Silent Twelve,"
applied for incorporation. The arti-
cles of the organization stated that
It was intended to promote social In-
tercourse and entertainment for its
members. Justice Jaycox refused to
grant the application upon the
ground that the name of the organi-
zation “indicated some necessity for
some persons Is almost beyond be-
lief. The ether day a man named
Brinkman Of Newark, N. J., called at
police headquarters and asked for the
arrest of Arthur M. Taylor, who be-
came Brinkman’s son-in-law about
six months ago. It seems that Tay
lor, who is only 23 years old, has
been posing as a lawyer, although
as a matter of fact, his name is not
to be found in any bar directory.
A short time ago Taylor asked his
father-in-law for a loan of $400. He
explained that be intended to go to
Washington to meet the "head judge
and buy a judgeship in New Jersey"
with the money Brinkman hesitated
at first, bat finally gave up the
money, after Taylor had given to
him, as “collateral security" for the
loan a document Purporting to be
Taylor's will and in which Taylor
devised to his wife a ranch of 960
acres in Apache county, Arizona, and
an alleged deposit of $5,000 in the
First National Bank of Apache town-
ship. with the $400 in his pocket
Taylor departed and has not been
seen since then Te deal for the
judgeship probably has not yeetbeen
closed. T
Muzzle Cats
A woman residing in Montclair, N.
J., sent a letter to Mayor Hinck of
that town, to issue an order requir-
ing all the cats in the town to be
muzzled. - The writer of the letter
stated that the nightly serenades by
the cats in her vicinity were extreme-
ly annoying and interfered with her
sleep. She did not state how the
muzzling should be done so as to In-
terfere with the vocal efforts of the
cats. Mayor Hincks does not con-
green roses with salmon rim and cen-
ter, lilac roses with lemon edge and
rich blue roses which show crimson
center and rims.
Flowers are used for hat crowns.
A hat of fine red straw, small, close
fitting and well shaped, with curleu
brim, faced with velvet of a deeper
shade, was crowned with wine red
silk poppies. The flowers were also
used to cover an upright wire orna-
ment.
Ostrich feathers made into fancy
shapes have taken the place of ai-
grettes on the new spring millinery.
Sulphur yellow is a very popular,
new shade. For one who prefers a
less sombre coloring, the raisin shade
may be preferable...
The long pointed slippers of the
Parisiennes are expected to be ex-
tremely fashionable this spring.

ST LOUIS, Mo., April 5.—As an
after effect of the Eastern floods the
entire Southwest is threatened with
a stamp famine, the first of its kind
in the history of the United States.
The startling discovery was made
at the St. Louis postoffice today,
