London, Oct 5—A dispatch from Bucharest by way of Rome as given out by the wireless press today denies the statement of the German and Bul- arian war offices that Austrian mon- itors have destroyed the bridge across the Danube, south of Bucharest, over which the Roumanians passed to in- vade Bulgaria. It is said the passage of troops, munitions and stores con- tinues, The dispatch also says the battle in Dobrudja is increasing in_ violence and that the Germans and Bulgarians are suffering enormous losses. While the foregoing inferentiall contradicts the official German-Bul- garian reports of the complete defeat of the Roumanians who in+aded Bul- garia, it is possible the dispatch was sent from Bucharest before the Bul- garians began their attack on the in- vaders, whose defeat was first an- nounced by the German war office on October 3.

One banner said: “No working women need gwly on the Hughes millionaire special.” Another read: “We want Wilsorf and the eight-hour day.” The campaigners greeted with cheers as'they were driven through the streets to a hotel where luncheon was served. The women will femain in Chicago wuntil early tomorrow momlnt Republican women waiting to wel- come the travelers hurried them into automobiles and to a hotel, where they were welcomed by May Thompson and other republican of! cials.

Few of the more ex- pensive eltinlb places have raised their charges, but several have adopt- ed the European custom of imposing a cover fee, which means that the prospective diner pays 10 cents or more for the seat he occupies at a ulglc.

Democratic Policy New York, Oct. 5.—(Special Tele- gram.)—That the United States is m- dustrially and economically helpless under democratic legislation, and that nothing short of a change of adminis- tration and a speedy return to the protective_system can save the coun- try from great financial loss and mis- ery, is set forth by United States Sen- ator Sherman of 0is ir. a com- munication to Chairman Willcox of the republican national committee, Senator Sherman says: “It must be constantly remembered in this cam- pu:rn that the vast imports of 1916 under war conditions but illustrate what they will be under a democratic free trade tariff when peace is re- stored in the world. Our exports are relied upon by the democratic party to mitigate the evil wrougl the enormous complete analysis of our export trade. “The exports of commodities classi- fied as peace merchandise, tegregated from our total exports, their total of 1916 compared with 1913 shows a de- crease of approximately $100,000,000. ll"lia exports o‘: :::hmirc andise fo? . cu:mre the exports o /mery war for 1913, show an increase in 1916 of war merchandise exports of nearly 3!,500,%0,?”. - | undertake the Certain Disaster for the Country THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1916. —i HOW FIRST KING AK DRESSED HIS LADIES Mystifying Description of the ., Unique Gowns Worn at the Jubilee Ball in 1895. SOCIETY EDITOR LAUGHS By A. R. GROH. This is an article strictly for the ladies. It is a description of some of the gowns worn at the first Ak-Sar- Ben ball, back in 1895. What would you think, gentlemen, of a ball dress of “white mousseline de soie over yellow corded, satin-striped moire, trimmed In passementerie and with red and white guimpe?” 5 Huh? You can’t make head 'er tail of it? Well, neither can 1. But the ladies understand all that language, like Homer understood Greek. So, you men may turn to the sport page while I entertain the fair ones with the fashions of the reign of King Ak-Sar-Ben I When | showed the society editor the description of these gowns, ladies, she said they would certainly make in- teresting reading. We had a good laugh over them. That is, she did the laughing and 1 joined in, though 1 wouldn’t know a passementerie from a guimpe if | met them on the street. She tells me that berthas, which were all the rage in 1895, are not worn ln‘vm.ore. i hile these dresses “sound funny’ to us now they were “au fait” in 1895, and the ladies who wore them then looked just harming as the ladies will look w "f the styles of 1916/ at this year’s ball. Here, then, are the gowns that some of the ladies wore at the ball of 1895, as reported in The Bee: Green Velvet Sleeves. “Mrs. William S. Poppleton was fascinating in a gown of white taffeta with green velvet sleeves and bodice profusely trimmed in lace.” “Mrs. Clement Chase was charm- ingly attired in pink corded satin, trimmed with a bertha of pink crepon and made with a godet skirt, dancing lenfi Al : “Mrs. W, L. Dickey wore a dainty gown of white china silk, trimmed in uttercup yellow velvet and white and gold guimpe.” i “M VVglli&m A. Redick wore white brocaded silk, with a yellow chiffon waist trimmed handsomely in jet.” “Mrs. Henry Estabrook was digni- fied in an elegant gown of white mousseline de soie over yellow corded silk, trimmings of yellow moire rib- bons and i of the valley.” “Mrs, Walter Jardine, fancy waist of changeable black and red silk with satin skirt.” “Mrs. Elmer E. Bryson was gowned ily in a simple white dotted s, profusely trimmed in lace.” Oriental Silk. “Mrs. Gilbert M. Hitchcock wore a costume of oriental figured silk tlatlly trimmed in lace and forget-me-nots.” “Mrs. Charles W. Hull wore white muslin with blue satin ribbons.” “Mrs, J. M.

Haller wore an import- ed Brusa gauze, made in the Sultan’s harem, with green satin trimmings.” Miles Wants Western League Franchise For Hastings Team Hastings, Neb.,, Oct. 5.—(Special Telegram.)—C. J. Miles, former presi- dent of the state league, has written President Frank Zehrung of the West- ern league offering to organize a com- pany 'in Grand Island and Hastings to maintain a club in the Western league, provided a franchise for a combination club can be secured on ctory terms. His plan is to the home games equally be- tween Grand Island and Hastings, both .of which are liberal supporters of base ball. Mr, Miles has received assurances of support from people in both citiis and will immediatel i ~rmation of a stoc{ company if Zghrung sends back favor- able word. Continued Means “This abnormal demand will cease when peace is concluded. Our ex- ports will then shrink to their normal volume, while our imports will not only maintain the present high fig- ures, but will be immensely increased by the return to industrial activities of the countless legions now on the bat- tlefield. “Not in the history of the demo- cratic party has it ever written a tar- iff bill that contributed anything to the treasury but a deficiency. ‘I‘he normal condition of the national finances with the democratic party in power is bankruptcy. The democrats can neither protect the markets of our country, nor supply revenue to meet the expenses of government econorgncullfif administered, even on rep nes. The staggering im- possibility of raising enough revenue to meet own profligate expendi- tures drives the democratic party to despair and a $130,000,000 bond issue. “It was reserved for a democratic administration to discover the neces- sity, in time of peace, for a legion of direct taxes heretofore resorted to only in war times. So we have a free trade tariff act without any permanent trade, a revenue tariff without any revenue, and a war tax withont any war,’ NINE PERSONS DIE STRIKERS' WIVES WOMEN STORM NEW INCOLLEGEHALLFIRE| BATTLE N.

The president in reply criticised O'Leary. O'Leary announced through his counsel that he also intended to bring libel suits against newspapers through- out the country who have questioned his right and abused him for sending what he considered to be a perfectly proper telegram to the president of the United States.

They hurled stones, shattering win- dows and drove the motorman and conductor from their posts. A battle with the few policemen on hand en- sued. The officers used their clubs freely.

Fast Passenger Hits Live Stock Train Altoona, Pa., Oct. 5—One man was killed, another is missing and twenty- two persons, including eight mail clerks, were more or less injured when the Mercantile express onthe Pennsylvania railroad crashed into the rear of a stock train at the west end of the Lewistown yards, The express was attempting to make up fifty minutes’ lost time between Pits- burgh and New York a‘ the time of the wreck, it is reported, and the en- gineer failed to see a red signal, ow- ing to a fog. Traffic was blocked for more than four hours. The man killed was Scott Eichelberper, Altoo- na, Pa, conductor of the stock train. His body was recovered from beneath a mass of twisted steel by a wrecking crew. The missing man, supposed to have been cremated when out in the debris of seven cattle cars, was a drover. The express was com- posed of steel cars, and this was re- sponsible for the fact that there were no fatalities among the passengers. Those injured suffered prineipally from the shock and bruises sustained in being hurled about the cars by the force of the impact.

New York, Oct. 5—~The Borden Condensed Milk company, which sup- plies one-fifth of all the milk sold in this city, announced today that it would meet the demand of the Dairy- men's league for an increase in the prices paid to farmers of 45 cents per 100 pounds.

The women had . previously can- vassed stores in the neighborhood in search of milk for their children and finding none for sale thep\gathered at the city stations, A few were admit- ted. Those on ‘the outside fearing that the supply would be exhausted before they could be served, rushed to the doors of the building. Officers in charge of the stations said that their supply today was less than half of that received yesterday. Demands Partly Met. Efforts to compromise the contro- versy between the milk producers and the city distributers having failed, consumers today pinned their hopes upon the state investigation, which is to begin before a referee here tomor- row, Some indication of a settlement also was seen in an offer by one of the big distributers to give the farmers an ad- vance of 35 cents per 100 pounds over the prices heretofore prevailing. The Dairymen's league insists upon an ad- vance of 45 cents a 100 pounds. It was rumored thay one of the distributers had decided to withdraw from the conference over the price and to make a separate peace with the producers. From upstate counties and New Jersey came news of more rioting and raids by masked farmers, Jersey City, N. {..
