Hla conference with the pretddenr.
Yoakum Sees President.
B. Jf.-Yoakum. chairman of the board
of directors of the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific, also conferred with Presi
dent Roosevelt yesterday and an
nounced himself unreservedly In fav ir
of close co-op*ration between the rail
road Injereste and the Federal govern
ment In order that public confidence In
railroads might be restored and radical
legislation by state legislatures
abated.
Mr. Yoakum Is not the first railroad
leader to express.to the president his
fear of the effect or radical slate legis
lation. In an Interview he advanced
the opinion that white It Is well within
the province of a state to reduce rates
on roads entirely within the state, yet
It Is not the power of a stale under the
guise of a local taw 1 to make a reduc
tion on an Interstate road, which would
have the effect of reducing aiv Inter
state rate.
To Avoid Uncertainties.
“I feel sure that when we have es
tablished regulations governing our
traffic, thereby avoiding the uncer
tainties under w hich we are now oper
ating." said Mr. Yoakum. "It will have
the effect of making railroad property
more stable In Its market values, both

New $1.00 Embroideries
49c a yard
Unusual as the record for distinct offerings in the Embroidery, section, asked
today which sale is the most remarkable we have ever presented, the finswer would
come squarely and without a question of doubt, the one here announced for Wcdnes-
tlay.
49c for brand, new Embroideries—the exact counterpart in quality of some of
the choicest we’ve shown at $1.00 yard. That of value, now—*
The Embroideries—and'this is the most interesting part yet:

Inches and Wider; Including Great Varieties of
Patterns—-All New and Perfect .(

Most of the beautiful effects are 18 inches wide—none less, but some wider, 20 inches. The majority are
Swiss, a few of Nainsook. In variety of styles the showing is,simply superb. There are dainty patterns, scores
of them, anti others equally pleasing but more elaborate, both blind and openwork, of course.
What charming corset covers they will make; what beautiful shirt waists, and for children’s dresses there
are many that seem designed for the purpose. JuBt as fine as were ever sold at $1.00.
They came from an importer who represents manufacturers in Switzerland. As we bought them—well,
that is our good fortune, and yours. The Embroideries are of such qualitv and effect that the most critical
taste will admire and, no doubt, buy. Every yard is perfect aud not a piece lias been shown before. The whole
center aisle section is devoted to the sale—that tells what the assortment is like. Choose freely, there are plen

• BY RULES OF COURT
New York. March 1!.—Harry Ken
dall Thaw, on trial for klllng Stanford
White, was a maxed and amused Mon
day afternoon when Police Captain
Hodglna. called as a witness In re
buttal for the prosecution, tee tided that
on the night of klllng Thaw’s "actions
were rational but his looks were Just
as they are now; he had a stare In
his eye."
Detmas moved to strike out the ans
wer and was sustained. The question
was put In another form and the wit
ness testtded that, ft> his opinion. Thaw
was more rational than Irrational.
Henry Blaise said Thaw appeared
rational. Myer Cohen, the song writer,
said that when he saw Thaw the latter
appeared rational. At the time of the
killing he and Blaise were sitting at a
table together. Thaw's face, he said,
wan pale. Thaw's eyes, he said, look
ed rational to him. They were not
bulging out.
Profeeor R. A. Wlithau*. the chemist,
was callsd by Jerome.
The calling of this witness caused
surprise. It was evident that Jerome
meant to controvert the testimony' of
Evelyn Thaw about being drugged by
White.
