Chicago Domestics Are Singing Real Music Now CHICAGO. These days the parlor maid, as she wields her duster, trills as sweetly as if the drawing room were a comic opera stage. Her sister maid of the upper floors hums a haunting little melody that fall3 pleasantly on the ear. Out in the kitchen the
cook, who used to be the worst offender of them all whose voice, as a
matter of fact, was sometimes taken by guests as the wailing of a jusl too dear and frightfully novel Chinese bull fiddle occasionally gives vent to a snatch of song in a well-modulated contralto. The house, where discord once reigned, where chokings. squeakings and bellowings once accompanied the performance of each household duty,
has become one of melody; Thus, through the quiet and quieting efforts oi the Civic Music association, a goodly number of housewives have been made happy. The association has undertaken to train a "domestic girls' chorus." Every Sunday from fax and wide maids of all descriptions have come to attend the classes which are under the direction of Miss Albie Sladek. Fifty-six girls, most of them from the north shore suburbs, attended a recent class. The quality of their voices, in solo and in chorus, gave evidence of great improvement. How the voices had sounded at first Miss Sladek described by placing her hands over her ears and wrinkling her nose. "They had the" music in them, these girls," she said, "but they didn't know how to get it W.. They had knowledge neither of rhythm nor scale, but their lungs certainly were in excellent condition. The first time they sang together the building shook. Now they can sing as softly as a summer breeze humming through the trees. "Among the girls one has been discovered who plays practically every musical instrument by ear and until last fall she never had touched one. . Another, Bessie Kvis,. may some day develop into a grand opera star."

Interned Germans Are Enjoying Life at Norfolk NORFOLK, VA. -The crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz. Wilhelm, interned at this port, are enjoying life, to its fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews, the men are living a life of luxurious idle-
ness. Their chief vocation at this time is pleasure pleasure day and night. They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day. In the afternoon they go to Virginia
Beach, Ocean View and other nearby I JE LftIGER JE resorts. They smoke good cigars, eat IJCttUMMfR J .... - . , r. V
tlie best, and appear to nave piency or money. Barring a few cases of beri
beri on the Kronprinz, they are a healthv lot. The men have been taken
into the homes di a number of citizens and entertained, and special services have been held for' them in Protestant churches. They are made to feel at home. They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blue stripes and white hats. They are as neat as new pins and their conduct is perfect. They roam the streets arm in arm with American bluejackets and visit the best theaters and other public resorts. They are beginning to love the great American 'game. Several hundred of them attended a baseball game in Portsmouth and rose up and cheered a nlayer who drove the ball over the fence for a home run. Whether they
understood the same or just followed the Americans who stood up and
cheered, no one but themselves knew. But there is a movement tfn foot to organize two baseball teams out of the crews one on the Eitel and another
on the Kronprinz, and some of the men are practicing daily. They have
spent over $200 for equipment. A little short chap whom the American
sailors call "Buelow" drove a ball over the sea wall m a practice game.

A telephone screen is the latest device for concealing this instrument from view in the home. The screen is so simple in construction that it need not le purchased ready-made unless one has plenty of money or does not
know how to use needle and thread, writes Helen Howe in the Washington Post. The foundation or framework is of heavy wire, in threefold effect, although the screen does not really fold. The wires are shaped merely to suggest folding; and this, of course, makes the screen stand firmly. The filling may be anything to suit the fancy. One of the prettiest fillings shown is of thin India or China silk, shirred upon the wires top and bottom. The decoration is a strip of gold lace backed with a color contrasting with that of the screen. This is caught
around the lower edge, the border of the lace pointing upward. A similar but narrower band trims the top, the edge of the lace pointing downward. A soft olive-green silk for the screen and
old pink under the lace make a very t
pleasing color combination. Any odd bits of pretty fabric, however, may be utilized, because it is not necessary that all the panels be alike. The center one could be of embroidery or tapestry, and those at the sides of a plain
color, shirred or laid in plain, this de- j
pending upon the kind of material employed. It goes without saying that sheer goods must be gathered. Cretonne for the entire screen is not
to be despised. It should be finished top and bottom in fact, all around, if one prefers with a furniture gimp not more than one inch wide. If the room is furnished in cretonne, the same can be used with good effect for the screen. Bits of brocade or silk that contrast or harmonize make a beautiful screen. Should the scraps of these goods on hand be insufficient for a screen they

Omaha Indians Have Great Time at a Banquet
MAHA. Fifty Indians of the Omaha tribe driving their own automobiles
U and headed by White Horse, oldest Indian in the West, came down from
their tribal reservation on the Missouri river to attend a banquet at the new
11,000,000 hotel that has just been
completed in this city and named in
honor of Fontenelle, the greatest chief
the Omahas ever had.
It was 52 years ago that Fon
tenelle was killed while defending the
small white settlements along the Mis
souri river from an attack of Sioux Indians, but his birthday is celebrated each year on the Omaha reservation.
A majority of the Indians iu the party had never seen a house .with
more than two stories and the sight
of an lS-story hotel was marvelous to them. But if the hotel was a wonder,
the menu, to them, was a miracle. It has been a long time since the Omaiias ate dotr. They graduated out of that class many years ago. But hors
d'oeuvres marseillais, creme de volaille logan. cassolette de crabbe et homard fontenelle. fromase assorti et netits grilles, and pastilles lucien are things
that the Omahas do not have every day when they are at home up on the
reservation.
But the way the red men went fter those things, as well as the other
items on the menu, was worth seeing.
After the demi-tasse came the speeches and probably their equal has never been heard in a modern hotel. They were all in the Omaha tongue.
When the time came for old White Horse to talk, he used the difficult
"Chief Talk," so called by the Indians because it is the formal language used
by the. chiefs in addressing a grand council of the tribe.
Telephone Screen.
can be used in constructing a very dainty sewing basket. To make such a basket:
Cut a foundation of cardboard in a
long egg-shape, about eight and a half
inches in length and four or five
inches across its widest part. A strip
of cardboard an inch or so in width is
glued all around, and the basket covered inside and outside with the silk. Another short strip of cardboard is covered and set in the basket, dividing it into two compartments of equal
size. One of these compartments is filled in completely with a pincushion,
the other forms a receptacle for a cou
ple of spools of thread and a thimble.
The "edge of the basket is finished with
rosebud trimming, or inch wide lace
can be laid all around, the edge of the
lace placed upward. The handle of the
basket is a strip of covered cardboard
fitted with a loop, which holds a pair
of small scissors.
Behold black now as the fashionable color of the interior decorator. The liking for it arose in Vienna, where interior decorating is an art much thought of. There some. of the new houses, or rooms which had been re
decorated, showed wall papers with black backgrounds, on which huge, bright flowers are printed. Carpets, too, are of black. The idea of this method of decorating is, apparently, to make the room strictly a background for the furniture and persons in it. The brightly flowered paper, of
course, detracts from this effect, but
the sort of paper more often used does not have the bright flowers. It shows
a black ground, with a gray or misty
white figure. In a room thus grounded pictures framed in black are hung. The effect is startling. The pictures stand out in reality from their somber sur
roundings. White enameled furniture
is looked on with favor for uje in
black rooms. Surely such a setting
would give the persons in it a chance
to shine forth in all the glory of color
lent them by skin and eyes, hair and
clothes. On the other hand, wouldn't
a room so furnished cast a depressing spell on the woman who found herself shut within its four walls for many hours in a day? There is an outgrowth of this craze for black which is interesting, especially to those who live in apartments, or other crowded quarters, where the kitchen as well as other rooms of the house, come under occasional inspection of guests. This is the black enameled jar or box for cakes, bread and grocery supplies of various sorts. It is painted brilliantly with big red
roses, and makes an interesting note of color. Six boxes or jars of this sort ranged in orderly array on shelves give a distinctive note to the most uninteresting pantry or kitchen.
El Paso, Tex., June 28. Charges of
conspiring to incite a revolution against a friendly country were filed
yesterday against Gen. Victoriano Huerta, former President of Mexico,
who was placed under arrest at New
man, N. M., by federal officers. Similar ehanres were filed against Gen.
Pascual Orozco, who was arrested at
the same time. Huerta was released
tonight on $15,000 bond. Orozco's bail was fixed at $7,500, and he also was
released.
Instead of being given an enthusi
astic welcome by his supporters, many
of whom had gathered at the border,
Gen. Huerta reached El Paso in cus
tody of Federal officers and under
guard of twenty-five United States
troopers.
The former executive and Gen.
Orozco were taken to the Customs
House here and later removed to Fort
Bliss, where they were held until their
bonds had been provided. Gen. Huer
ta, in answer to a question, denied ho had intended to re-enter Mexico at
this time.
Gen. Huerta had planned to leave the train at Newmon and motor twenty miles to El Paso accompanied by Major. Louis Fuentes, his son-in-law, and Gen. Orozco, who had been one of his most active commanders in the fighting against the Constutionalists. That portion of his plan was carried out, but his party was augmented by the addition of the Federal officials and a detachment of the Fifteenth United States Cavalry.
The coming of Gen. Huerta to h,l Paso had been predicted here, but news of his detention came as a surprise to the public. The developments here at Ei Paso caused a sensation in Mexicon quarters, both the Carranza and Villa agencies issuing statements rejoicing that the United States had checked an effort on the part of the so-called reactionary interests to regain control of the Mexican affairs. Both agencies had repeatedly called to the attention of the State Department the movements of the Suerta group, although yesterday's action, it was said at Washington was entirely on the initiative of the Department of Justice. After the formal charges issued on instructions from the United District attorney at San Antonio had been filed, the accused were taken before George Oliver, United States commissioner, their bonds approved and their hearing fixed for Thursday, July 1. Surety was provided by Isaac and Frank Alderete, Max Moe, P. E. Thompson and Rudolfo Cruz. Gen. Huerta was driven to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Luis Fuentes.
Orozco was taken to the home of
friends.

Elevated Playgrounds the Latest In New York
tew YORK. The more congested New York becomes, the more necessity
11 there is to provide suitable breathing spaces and grounds for recreation. In just the communities where they are needed the most, as on the East side,
it is becoming increasingly difficult to set aside any land for playgrounds. Already in New York there are playgrounds on the piers, on the roofs of schools, on fashionable apartments and, recently, there was opened to the public the , first elevated, playground at the Manhattan end of the Williamsburg bridge. To Hugh E. McLaughlin, civil engineer, belongs the credit for this innovation. The first elevated recreation ground measures fil hv 4 HO feet and in the center
Is a bandstand, around which on summer evenings the neighboring tenement:
dwellers can enjoy band concerts and dances. Mr. Mclaughlins complete scheme includes the erection of probably a mile of these elevated play
grounds on the congested East side, the same to occupy the center of tho
street. Along the entire street length elevated parking spaces with trees, Hnwers. shrubs, fountains and benches for the older people will alternate
with elevated plots set aside for haseball, football, tennis and playground pniiinment for smaller children. In the winter it is tho intention to flood
these spaces for skating and hockey games. Mr. McLaughlin's laudable plmn is meeting with universal approval and he has the support of several Influential friends in erecting playgrounds along the center of East side
The embroidered hat, which resem
bled nothing more nor less than a table centerpiece (and sometimes really was) made into a bit of millinery,
is, to all appearances, "nil" this season. A different type of embroidered
hat is to be worn that of georgette
crepe or some similar semitransparent
material (occasionally opaque materi
als are used), embroidered in white or
colors, principally the latter, in large,
bold stitches of coarse silk. The em
broidered hat of this season is not so
"fluffy" as in former years, but is
drawn over a buckräm or stiffened net frame into trim smoothness, so that it is exactly the shape of the frame
and entirely without ruffles. The ma
terial is sometimes embroidered be
fore being applied to the frame and at
other times embroidered after being
drawn over the buckram or stiffened net, the threads being taken right
through to the wrong side of the
frame. Some of the smartest models
are embroidered in conventional de
signs at equal distances apart, and as symmetrically arranged as the designs upon wallpaper.
If there is no time to really em
broider the "embroidered" hat, voiles
of georgette crepes by the yard hav
ing wonderful machine embroidery
upon them can be substituted very ef
fectively. The "centerpiece" hat is
considered quite correct for kiddies..
however, though even in these juve
nile instantes the stitches are not so
painstaking- as in former years. The
RETURN TO THE PRACTICAL Modern Fashions Are Drawing Away From the Type of the Extreme and Unusual.
Many periods of history and many
countries are contributing their quota
to modern fashions. Although we all
know that "there is nothing new under the sun," none the less this maxim seems particularly applicable to fashions and dress. After all we cannot wonder at our resourceful artists "searching past records for good
copy," especially at a time like the present. It Is a curious and interesting fact that we see in the most recent phases of La Mode quite a distinctive femininity, such, indeed, as we had not seen for many a long day. This tends to prove how everything goes by the law of contrasts; as man returns to primitive hand-to-hand fighting, so do women return to the primitive in dress and decoration. In mute opposition woman suddenly returns to flounces and absurd attractive frills and furbelows. In spite of this tendency we mut not imagine that women do not still retain a taste for practical clothes as well as a modicum of common sense. Those who admire the practical in dress have turned with avidity to the stripes and checks which are offered In such great profusion this season.
Atlanta, Ga.,. June 28. No untow
ard incident occurred yesterday at the suburban home of former Governor Slaton, and, so far as the authorities could learn, there were no further rumors of attempts at violence by those opposed to the commutation of Leo M. Frank's death sentence. The military guard was maintained, however, and there was no intimation when it would be withdrawn. The former Governor tonight said he would request the Fulton county authorities not to prosecute the twenty-six men arrested at his home Saturday and held in the county jail. He said no good could come from prosecution, and that the men probably were directed by persons who had not been apprehended.
YAQUIS LOOT VILLAGE.
Guaymas, Mexico, June 27. (by radio to San Diego, Cal.) Advices received here today 'by messenger from the interior state that 200 Yaqui Indians raided the mining town of Sauze, 100 miles inland from Guaymas, assembled the 300 inhabitants and stripped every one naked, then, while a detail guarded the gathering, others looted the town, packing everything transportable on mules. When the raiders departed, they took with them four young girls. No casualties are reported.

NIAGARA, N. D., June 27. -Workmen excavating under the bouse oc-
I cupied until a few years ago by Eu- : o-ene Butler, who died in 1913 in1 the
State Hospital for the Insane, unearthed the remains of six men, lieved by the authorities to have been murdered by Butler while employed by him as farm hands. The skull of each had been crushed. Butler became violently insane nine years ago, but had never been suspected of the crimes disclosed today.

resented, met in convention nere.
These officers were elected: A. v.
Rftelhler. Garrett, president; Bert
Wells, Montpelier, vice-president;
Charles Willis, Union City, treasurer. G. F. Rogge, Fort Wayne, secretary. Berne was selected as the next convention city. Marion. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Leach of Marion were severely injured when the automobile they were driving turned completely over three miles north of Fairmount. Mrs. Leach's left elbow was dislocated and the bones were broken near the joint. A piece of the windshield was forced into the calf of her leg. Mr. Leach's injuries consisted chiefly of bruises. Evansviile. Simon Winfrey, a life prisoner at the state prison at Michigan City, who has asked the state board of pardons for a parole, is a colored man. On September 21, 1913, he shot and killed George Hines, another negro. The men were hod carriers and Winfrey killed Hines because Hines did not carry a union card. Roanoke. Mrs. Ralph Bump, age thirty-three , committed suicide by shooting herself through the head with a small pistol. She had been in poor health for several weeks. When Mrs. Bump lived in Allen county six years ago she gave her baby three poison tablets and took some herself. She was tried and acquitted. The tragedy preyed on her mind and Is believed to have been the cause of her suicide. Sheridan. Jealousy is said to have prompted a shooting affair here, in which Miss Marie Kirby, her mother, Mrs. Madison Kirby, and Lester Brandenburg were the targets. One shot was fired but the bullet went wild. The weapon seemingly waa aimed at all three. Mace Remson was later arrested by Marshal McCarty. The latter's theory is that Remson fired the shot when he discovered Brandenburg talking to the mother and daughter. Remson has been attentive to Miss Kirby.' McCarty declares that Remson had been drinking and that the piBtol, which was later found in a pile of weeds, showed that a second cartridge had been snapped but had failed to explode. ! Evansviile. Inspired by a story that appeared in a paper here,
gold hunters for the last several days have been digging at nights beneath large poplar and oak trees on Coal Mine hili, two miles west of the city, in the hope of finding a pot containing $5,000 in gold coin. No lost treasure has been recovered, but about twenty-five trees, each one hundred years old, have been ruined by the fortune seekers. The gold seekers read of a man who died In Kentucky, across the river from Evansviile, many years ago, and of how, before he died, he pulled across the )hio river in a skiff and buried $5,000 in gold in a pot tho roots of a large tree. Own
ers of Coal Mine hill have found holes in the ground as large as graves or cisterns, and it will require considerable work to fill them. Gary. The arrival in Lake county of E. M. Wolcott, James Hauch and Travis Scales, state tax commissioners, is expected to be followed bysome increases in tax valuations, particularly at Gary. The commissioners, who are silent about their plmi, were to inspect the Gary steel mills. it is reported here the commissioner! came to Gary at the request of Governor Ralston. Gary valuation if practically the same as last year, $21,259,295. Though the quadrennial revaluation of real estate was mads tW year, the local situation remains um-
