President, Thousand Miles Away,
Will Flash Signal to National
Conservation Exposition.
MONDAY IS DEDICATION DAY
Managers Fulfill Promises to Have
Exhibits Ready as Scheduled,
Opens Free of Debt.
KNOXVILLE, Aug. 30.—Promptly
at 10 o’clock Monday morning In
Washington President Wilson will
flash a wireless telegraph message to
Knoxville. The message will be picked
up by the wireless station in the
grounds of the National Conservation
Exposition in this city.
The receipt of the message from the
President of the United States to T.
A. Wright, president of the exposi
tion company, will be the signal for
the formal opening of this exposi
tion, the first in the history of the
world devoted to the cause of con
servation and designed to teach by
concrete example the necessity of
conserving all material resources if
the country Is to grow and prosper.
Manner of Opening Unique.
Even as the National Conservation
Exposition is unique in history, so Is
the manner of opening it unique. No
exposition ever before has been
opened by a wireless message sent
by the President. Ben W. Hooper,
Governor of Tennessee, and his staff
will be present on the opening day.
The exercises will be Impressive.
There will be speeches by Governor
Hooper, Mayor Heiskell of Knoxville
and President Wright of the exposi
tion.
The new buildings on the grounds
will be dedicated; there will be an
automobile parade, the formal open
ing of "Joy Street,” as the midway
will be known; fireworks, band con
certs and a general good time. The
official program starts the fun going
at 8 o’clock in the morning, and It
will continue without a break until
late at night. Two promises made by
the directors months ago will be kept.
These were:
The exposition would open on time
and be complete down to the last de
tail.
The exposition would open free of
debt.
Buildings All Are Ready.
Opening day will see the exposition
grounds looking more beautiful and
more attractive than ever before.
Eleven great exposition buildings, all
snowy white, are filled with exhibits
of all kinds, Government, State, mu
nicipal and private. Flower beds dot
the landscape. Flags are flying. The
lakes are alive with motorjDoats. The
grounds present a gala appearance.
But it is in carrying out the idea
of the exposition itself—the idea upon
which it was founded—and in teach
ing the lessons of conservation that
this exposition, projected by the South
and brought Into being by men of
the South, stands out as different
from any other exposition. From
start to finish, from one building to
another, the main idea of teaching
conservation lessons never has been
lost sight of for a moment.
The big mines and minerals build
ing is an example. Here the displays
have been so arraanged as to em
phasize the fact that in the South
nearly every mineral is found, and
also to emphasize the fact that all of
these ores have a commercial value.
A model coal mine dug into a hill
forms a feature of this exhibit.
The exposition will run until No
vember 1.

Half the Nation Stares, Other Half Shudders-
and Stares, Too.
Slit skirts, X-ray gowns, diapha
nous dresses, kneeless stockings, ank
lets, and kneelets, back-to-Eve cos
tumes, all in one mighty array have
swept the country, leaving one-half of
the nation staring and the other half
shuddering, although the shudderers
also have stared.
Back in the prehistoric days when
Roosevelt was President and Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw still beautiful, the di-
rectoire gown made its appearance
and the public felt th e first thrill and
a premonition of what was to come.
After the dlrectoire came the hob
ble and the harem and modistes be
gan to rank with statesmen and slay
ers in public interest.
The diaphanous dress has been the
greatest boon to the newspaper cor
respondent since the man invented
the stor> about the bell buzzard and
the genius thought out the yarn about
the eagle that flew away with the
baby as the mother stood in frozen
horror.
In one day last week, August 24,
correspondents came in with slit
skirt stories and they were from
cold New England, the Sunny South,
the great West and the Golden Coast.
Here they are:
Slit Skirt One
Sign of Insanity.
PEORIA. ILL., Aug. 24.—Miss Edna
Kay, 22 years old, who yesterday cre
ated great excitement as she prom
enaded through the principal thor
oughfares of the city dressed in
clothes of the latest cut and design,
including a slit skirt of the extreme
variety, was to-day sent to an asy
lum.
Crowds of old and young men fol
lowed and looked until she was ar
rested by a policeman. She was put
in Jail and later turned over to Judge
Stone for a hearing.
After hearing the evidence the
judge decided to send the woman to
the Bartonville Insane Asylum for
treatment.

VANCOUVER, Aug. 30.—Thirty-
five years ago Mrs. W. C. Springer
and Mrs. Herman Funk were young
married women and were close
friends. When their first babies were
born they took them out In baby
buggies for daily rides. In time they
had a regular route they would take
on their dally walks.
That was 35 yeas ago. and the
children who were then babies have
grown up and married. Recently a
daughter of Mrs. Springer became a
mother. A daughter of Mrs. Funk has
a baby a few months old.
As soon as the infants are old
enough, the grandmothers will take
them for a ride over the course they
were wont to wheel the children's
mothers when they were babies.

Alderman Exposes
Calves for Coolness.
Los ANGELES, Aug. 24.—P.
J. Durbin, City Trustee of Vernon,
appeared before the Board of Public
Works to-day in the first pair of “slit
trousers" to be introduced into offi
cial circles. The slit in the trousers
runs halfway to th eknees, and a
corresponding slit in the sleeve ex
tends halfway to the elbow.
“I intend that Vernon shall have the
latest styles,” said Durbin. “Slit
trousers have come to stay, and with
in a few years everybody will be
wearing them.”
Diaphanous Gowns
Bring Out Reserves.
HARTFORD, Aug. 24.—A crowd of
men gathered at the busiest corner of
Asylum street, gazing raptly in one
direction and emitting every now and
then a ripple of sound—applause or
ridicule, the policeman on the beat
couldn’t tell which.
The policeman joined the crowd and
soon discovered it wasn’t t he glorious
setting sun at the foot of the street
which the men were admiring, al
though it was the sun that was fur
nishing the show.

parent skirts were tripping down the

reserves to disperse the audience.
Kneelet Is Latest;
Skirt Cut to Show.
ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 24.—
The “kneelest” to-day made its ap
pearance upon the board walk, cir
cling the legs of two young women,
who acknowledged they came from
Pittsburg. The "kneelet” is worn with
the slit skirt and is the twin to the
anklet, with the exception that it is
worn Just abov© the knee instead of
around the ankle.
Also, the slit in the skirt extends
much higher, to show th© “kneelet.”
Bride’s X-Ray Gown.
Surprise to Husband.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24.—Los An-
geles to-day had its first X-ray bride.
Sfhe wore a diaphanous wedding gown
of white charmeuse and lace through
which the light shone with startling
effect. Miss Belle Hassler, of Waco,
Texas, who has been living with
friends in Los Angeles, w’as married
to J. M. Pitcher, a well-known Spring
street merchant.
When Miss Hassler told Pitcher
that she would become his wife, she
also told him that their w’edding must
be the latest thing in dress and a
little ahead of the times. Pitcher says
he knew nothing about the gown until
he w r alked up the steps of the cler
gyman’s house with Miss Hassler and
the light struck the skirt.
Garden of Eden Clad
Pair Run Out of City.
FARRELL, PA., Aug. 24.—Wearing
a splendid creation of the diaphanous
gown, Miss Helen Garden Harvedge,
who is visiting this city, appeared on
the streets to-day with an escort, j
Henry Burton, who wore trousers that ’
were slit from the bottom to the knee.
Before they had traversed two
blocks "trailers” were behind them in
constantly increasing numbers. When
the pair reached the center of the
business section they were hemmed
in by a howling, Jeering mob.
They appealed to the police for pro-
tectibn, were placed in an automo
bile and told not to come back to
town unless they were fully clothed.
DENVER Aug. 80.—Mrs. Lena Stoi
ber-Reed, the most successful woman
mining operator In the world, has quit
this city to make her home in Europe
and enjoy the million she has made
in mining.
She is credited with “cleaning up”
a fortune from the celebrated Silver
Lakes group of mines In the San Juan
field, Western Colorado. Her first
husband had turned to this field when
the gold excitement was at its height
there about twenty years ago. In
order to “help out” his wife kept
boarders, and when the group of pros
pects w’as secured, assisted in the
active w’ork of development. She soon
became a familiar figure in the West
ern mining w'orld.
She thought nothing of donning
miner’s attire and working with the
men in the mine when she deemed It
necessary to assist Mr. Stober in
overseeing the work personally. The
mines were located in a high and
almost inaccessible part of the San
Juan Mountains.
After she had made a big fortune
at mining, Mrs. Stoiber turned to
Denver, where she made a social con
quest of the Colorado capital. Mr.
Stoiber died and a few r years ago his
widow married Hugh Reed, a Pacific
Coast capitalist. Mr. Reed went down
with the Titanic.
Mrs. Linda Hazzard’s Conviction
Upheld, and She Must Serve
From Five to Twenty Years.
OLYMPIA. -WASH., Aug. 30—The
Supreme Court has affirmed the con
viction of Linda Burfleld Hazzard,
hunger specialist, cm a charge of man
slaughter after the death of Claire
Williamson, an Englishwoman who
took the starvation cure at the Haz-
zard sanitarium at Olalla, in Kitsap
County.
Overruling the defendant on each of
the twelve points raised in the ap
peal, the Washington Supreme Court
announced that the lower tribunal
had “tempered Justice with mercy” in
fixing Mrs. Hazzard’s sentence at
from five to twenty years in prison.
The Hazzard case was one of the
most notable in criminal jurispru
dence. Throughout the trial and since
her case has been on appeal to the
Supreme Court, Mrs. Hazzard has
been regarded by her friends as the
founder of a new school fon the treat
ment of disease. The sanitarium at
Olalla has thrived, and Mrs. Hazzard
has not lacked for patients anxious
and willing to Undergo the terrible
ordeal of the hunger cure.
The death of Miss Williamson
aroused a storm of protest against
the cure. Mrs. Hazzard was charged
with first degree murder, and the Jury
found her guilty of manslaughter in
February, 1912. She appealed to the
Supreme Court, setting forth that the
low'er tribunal had erred on twelve
points.
Gives Six Epigrams
On Equal Suffrage
California Congressman Sayt Vote
Will Be Granted Women In
Every State.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Con
gressman John E. Raker, of Califor
nia, delivered the following epigrams
on woman suffrage to-day:
Women are early birds wlien It
comes to voting in California.
Their influence keeps perfect order
around the poll®.
Suffrage has come to stay not only
in California, but all over th© United
States.
In two years women win vot© in
every State in the Union.
There Is no reason why one-half the
ability and integrity of the country
should be deprived of the vote.
Father can hold the baby while
mother votes, the same as mother
holds it while father votes.
Child’s Heart Found
Under His Left Arm
Best Canvases Will Be Shown,
Whether Work of Master or
of Unknown Toiler,
Hospital Physician Reports That the
Displacement In No Wise In
conveniences th© Boy.
KANSAS CITY. Aug. 30.—A case
which is puzzling the physicians at
the General Hospital Is that of a 7-
year-old boy whose heart is located
under his arm. Charley Butera and
his mother, Mary Butera, 23 years old,
are both patients at the hospital suf
fering from typhoid fever.
When the physicians attempted to
listen to Charley's heartbeats by
placing the instruments on the usual
spot, they could hear nothing. In
vestigation showed the heart to be
several inches from normal position,
on the left side and directly under the
arm.
v’uarley is perfectly normal other
wise and is making a good fight
against typhoid fever.
They sav the new location for his
heart is Just about as good as normal.
Never in the history of art has such
an opportunity been presented to the
unknown and unrecognized artist as
that which will be offered to the
world at the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition In 1916.
The works of art shown in the clas
sical Palace of Fine Arts in 1915 will
not he merely the work of the great
masters, either ancient or modern.
The best will be shown, whether it is
the work of the master who is loaded
with diplomas and financial fortune
or whether it is the accomplishment
of the silent, unseen worker.
Committees of eminent artists are
now searching the continents for such
artists that they may have the oppor
tunity which they have yearned for—
the opportunity of letting the world
see what contemporaneous artists can
do. It is conceded that there are
many artists in the world who are
doing wonderful work, but who a**©
not recognized merely because no op
portunity has been given them. The
Panama-Pacific International Expo
sition will present that opportunity.
Some of the most famous artists
and art critics are engaged in different
parts of the world searching for aucn
men. In Europe the committee of
discovery Is headed by such famous
artists as Sargeant and McEwen, and
all over the United States artists have
been deputed by the exposition art
commission to make a thorougn
search for the best work In painting,
sculpture or the other departments of
art which are to be represented la
the Palace of Fine Arts.

year-old Maltese cat which apparently
pot only has the allotted nine lives, but
Is also In possession of its third set of
teeth.
Some time ago the feline became weak
ind thin and it was feared that the
ninth life would soon be ended. How
ever, the physician, noting that the
tat was toothless, fed it for several
months on ground steak.
A week ago a change for the better
was noted, and the animal became
plump and fat and its fur thick and
glossy.

FULTON, KY., Aug. 30.—Voters of
Fulton County nominated a dead man
on the Democratic ticket. All of the

Feast at Cheyenne.
CHEYENNE. WYO., Aug. 30.—The
big tribe of Arapahoe Indians which
will arrive in Cheyenne Sunday for
the annual celebration of Frontier
Days, reauested permission to enjoy
its tribal feast of stewed dog, but the
humane society has made a vigorous
protest to the Frontier committee.
Stewed dog is an Indian delicacy,
and the Arapahoe looks upon the dish
in much the same manner as the
wealthy New Yorker does his dish of
diamond-backed terrapin.
On the reservation, the squaws do
not even take the trouble to kill the
dogs, throwing them, yelps, hair and
all into the hot water.
