Marshall Field A Co., In tbelr weekly review of tbe dry foods trsde. say: "Business in staple lines n dry goods continues on a conservative basis. An increased interest In novelties betokens the approach of Easter. Collections are about normal and a comparison of aoundness of credit in all sections of tbe country with tbe same period a year ago shows a decided Improvement. Tbe demand for laces, embroideries and women's neckwear Is unususlly strong. The call for wash laces In widths up to six Inches verifies tbe prediction that sheer materials, both in laces and white goods, would be the most popular during tbe present season. This trend Is especially noted in tbe orders for sheer materials, like marquisettes, chiffons, chiffon cloths snd kindred veiling materials for afternoon aud evening wear. Salesmen's orders from all sections of the country Indicate that tbe tendency toward this type of material is not 1 oca fired. Ribbons are being used very exclusively 00 tbe early sprtiiv huts and promise to become more promineut as tbe season advances. Wide plnlu sstin snd tneasallne. funcy warp print flowered designs, blsck and white combinations, are especially favored." SMALLER RECEIPTS EXPECTED. Chicago yards review by Poole: Hog valuea rebounded violently Friday. Thla occurred in face of liberal recelpta. There was no loglcsl explanation except that bogs are worth current prices. Anyhow, tbe Increased supply this week has met a warm reception, even Armour being an avid buyer. Prices are 10tf15c higher than a week ago. so tbat packers have not redeemed their promise to put prices materially lower whenever they got a decent run. The marketward movement this week looks like a cleanup by way of preparation for spring work in the country. Osts seeding Is st hand and corn planting will follow. After both crops are in another big run or two may be expected, but a gap la supply is more than likely meanwhile. Quality Is not as good as recently, which Is suggestive, and msy be regarded aa a atgn that the winter crop o2 barrows has been closely marketed. SUIT ON ACCOUNT Frank 1. Burr and W. S. Garner, contractors doing business under the firm name of Burr & Garner have filed suit in the Wayne circuit court against A. H.

SGWIST FERRET VVATCHESVESUVIUS Records Every Activity of

Most Famous Volcano Often in Danger. Boston, March 11. Perret, of Veauvius. ig here. Perret is one of the most interesting men in the world. In one particular, at least, he is unique among men his profession is represented by only one man, and he that one. He spends his life on volcanic mountains and regions where earthquakes are most frequent. His tools are the seismograph, the microphone, the barometer, the telescope and the camera. Like an eagle he hovers on and around Vesuvius, Stremboli, Etna, Messina and Teneriffe. During the eruption of Vesuvius in 1906 Perret waa associated with Professor Matteucci, of the Vesuvius observatory. Throughout the entire eruption Perret was close to the mouth of the crater, making observations, capturing and testing the various gases, photographing the eruption and enduring hardships comparable to the tortures of the infernal regions, and through it all he was as happy as a boy. Watches tha Volcanoes. Frank Alvord Perret, officially, is an associate of the department of geology of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; he is also the representative of the Volcanic Research socieay of Springfield, Mass. His visits to America are few and always brief. Perret watches the active volcanoes of the world with all the care that a mother bestows upon a sick child, and when he is away from Vesuvius or Stromboli for a few weeks at a time he chafes and worries lest some new symptom of renewed activity develop and he is not near to observe and diagnose it. He Was In Messina. Perret was in Messina. He suffered hunger and thirst and exposure with the rest. And he was there of his own accord, for he had predicted that eruption. Hard were his trials, but they were scarcely comparable to what he en dured in the eruption of Mt. Etna in 1908. Then Perret ensconced himself in the Alpine hut just below the cra ter. The main lava stream, a hundred and fifty feet wide and at this point ten of twelve feet deep, swept within a hundred feet of the hut. The slightest deflection in the current of this stream would have swept the hut, Per ret, his instruments and records into eternity. Day and night he stuck to his post, although at times the irrita tion produced by the fumes of the gases made him groan aloud, and he never has succeeded in healing some of the spots in his throat which were burned by the poisonous gases. Foretold the Earthquake. At least six months before the Mes sina earthquake Perret had predicted a disturbance in the vicinity of Messina. During Christmas week he was away from Italy, and returned to Naples the night before Christmas in order to be there for the disaster which he felt confident was imminent. On the 28th, at 5:25 o'clock in the morning, tbe earthquake occurred, and Perret was one of the first to arrive in Messina. His Volcanic Start. Frank Alvord Perret was not always a volcanic expert. Years of close application in the laboratory broke down his health and as a victim of nervous prostration, he went abroad for health. Ever since then Perret has lived in the vicinity of Naples. His reason now for continuing his residence in that vicinity is the fact that this is the one spot in the world nearest to several centers where internal disturbances occur with greatest frequency. Vesuvius is just before him; Stromboli only a few hours distant and Etna and Messina a night's journey away. They are his pets, and he lives where he can watch them. MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGES DEMANDED (American News Service! Memphis, Tenn., March "11. Suits asking for a million dollars damages for false and malicious arrest in connection with the sale of stolen cotton a year ago were filed in the United States district court today by Charles M. Cole, against the Illinois Centarl St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern and Frisco lines. A seperate suit for $250,000 was field by the same complainant in the circuit court against J. L. Lancaster, president of the Memphis Union Station company, claiming that Lancaster entered into a conspiracy with the said railroads to have Cole arrested and connect him with the thefts of cotton which has ruined his business. Cole was a prominent cotton factor in Memphis. A year ago the railroads in question began missing bales of cotton from their shipping platforms. The thieves were found and the cotton discovered in Cole's warehouse. His arrest followed. TEACHERS' VICTORIOUS In tlfc volley ball contests at the Y. M. C.

(American News Service) Chicago, March 11. Officials of the Pullman company today made public the arrest of Benjamin Barnes, of Du buque, Iowa, who is accused of at tempting to enter the berth of Miss Cecil Hill, 19 years old, adopted daughter of Prof. William Hill, of Chicago university. The alleged offense was committed in Madison county, Indiana, Miss Hill decided to brave publicity as a prosecutor because she believed it was her duty to other women who might suffer the same thing. The incident occurred at midnight, January 27th. Miss Hill had been asleep and shortly after the train left Anderson, she was awakened by a man's voice. When she realized what the man was saying she rang for the porter, who in turn called the conductor. Barnes was permitted to sleep in a berth across the aisle from Miss Hill and when she reached Chicago she not! fied her foster father who reported to the Pullman company with tbe result that the man was arrested. Barnes denies the charge. AN EARLHAM STUDENT. Miss Hill Is a Freshman at the Local College. Miss Hill is a freshman at Earlham college. She has been attending her classes regularly since January and is considered an exceptionally bright student. She refuses to discuss the affair. None of her classmates have noticed any lack of composure on her part, it is said. Barnes, who Is connected with the National Cash Register company at Dayton, O., in the capacity of traveling salesman, maintains his innocence and declares that he will be able to prove an alibi. He is in jail at Anderson, but expects to be released on bond furnished by tbe National Cash Register company. Attorneys have been retained by Barnes and the case will be contested. On the afternoon of January 27. Miss Hill received a telegram from her father requesting her to take the 11:57 Pennsylvania train out of Richmond for Chicago tnat night where she was to go to receive treatment for her eyes. Shortly after entering the Pullman car she proceeded to retire. She was awakened later by a man whom she first thought to be the conductor inquiring for her berth check, but found that it was some intruder. As soon as possible she states, she rang for the porter, who upon seeing a man In her berth hastened away without rendering any assistance whatever. Miss Hill severely censures this action on the part of the porter. It is said tbat the conductor identified Barnes as the man who entered Miss Hill's berth. Prof. Hill is a well known reformer and declares he will push tbe matter to the extreme for the purpose of exposing the alleged laxity of protection afforded women on Pullman cars.
