WOMEN'S TAILORED SUITS
IN NEW FALL STYLES,
$29.15
I. are displaving X(T\Y a line of Women's Tailored Suits that is notably comprehensive. All of the new style innovations of which you've been
reading, and, of course, curious about; arc to be seen here. Especial attention is invited to the window display. You will note that the rough fabrics
arc most conspicuous. Also that coats are longer and tit the figure more closely. Also that skirts are cut full and most effectively pleated.
These are the main characteristic differences, but only by seeing the display can one realize how variety of treatment gives an almost unbeliev
able number of cttect: virtually different stvles. The plainly tailored styles arc most favored. Colors are mostly confined to subdued tones, such as faded
roses. mustard green, olive green*, blue-grav. sunset blue, walnut, seal brown, artichoke, raisin, and of course, the staple blues and black.

Republicans of Maryland Will
Meet in Baltimore.
WILL ALSO NAME JUDGES
Denunciation of Proposed Elective
Franchise Law Expected.
TO INDORSE INCOME TAX LAW
Views of an Independent Democrat
Regarding the Disfranchisement
Measure.?Warfleld Talks.
S ? istl i i:. i1'*'* "t The S!*r.
BAI.TTMOKE, Md.. August 21, !:???!>.
T ? republican slate convention will
? ft i.<-\ Wnln'sday to adopt ?
.;i ??? ? i. ;?ii?| nominate a candidate for
..Hid thrn candidates for the
;? > ?? i : . i). i, of Baltimore city. The
1 plank u. tli*-- platform will be a
denunciation of the proposed tran
? ipe amendment. Thut amendment has
been made the paramount issue in the j
campaign by the democrats after the j
leaders had become thoroughly convinced '
that the republicans would force the is-1
sue The amendment will be handled j
without gloves and the alleged trickery1
to be play ed by the democrats in the;
event of success will l>e fully exposed.
Prior to the meeting in the Auditorium'
there will be a conference of the state'
and city leaders at the ll>>t?*l Rennert and j
the entire platform to be adopted will be i
thoroughly discussed. There .are sume dif. i
ferences of opinion on certain features tn i
be incorporated In the platform, but these!
differences will all be adjusted before the;
convention meets and when the delegates
are called to order by State Chairman
Hanna it will be a harmonious body,
ready to act for the best interests of the
party.
The platform will in all probability fol
low closely along the lines of that adopt-'
>-d by the city republicans at the conven
tion this week. The platform ueclares for
Increased representation in the general
assembly for Baltimore, proportionate to i
population, and In this the republicans are i
much more specific than are the demo-1
crats; reassessments in the state is urged
where it is necessary to equalize taxation;
the selection of municipal employes for
their honesty and capability is favored;
the passage of a pure drug and food bill
is advocated; support Is pledged to a
public utilities commission; the "tendency
and practice of public service corporations
to interfere in public affairs" condemned.;
and the relief of financial institutions ?
from oppressive taxation and changes in |
the laws that Baltimore city may hold)
out inducements to manufacturing and In-j
dustriai plants to locate here, arc urged.
Income Tax Indorsed.
An important feature of the platform
to be adopted will be the pledttins of the
legislative candidates to the support of
the income tax amendment to the federal
Constitution. Taxation of incomes was
originally a democratic doctrine, but the
recent democratic state convention passed
up the subject. President Taft. having
adopted it as a republican doctrine, the
Maryland republicans will support his at
titude on the question.
Opposition to the disfranchisement
amendment continues to grow day bv day
and the opponents of the measure report
recruits in large numbers. One of the
best known members of the bar and a
prominent independent democrat. John
Hinkley, said 'to The Star correspondent
today:
"I think the whole form and scheme
of the amendment is un-American. There
is no other instance, so far as I can
recall, of any citizen of the state of
Maryland acquiring any political rights
by reason of descent, as would be the
case under the clause allowing the privi
lege of voting to descendants of per
sons entitled to vote before January 1,
18fi9. The provisions of the amendment
would result in the disfranchisement of
a large number of our citizens of for
eign parentage.
"The educational test proposed,
while not so grossly unfair or uncer
tain as in the amendment formerly pro
posed. does not appear to me us being
at all a proper one. The applicant for
registration is required, among other
things, to state the name in full of the
President of the United States, one of
the justices of the Supreme Court, the
Governor of Maryland and the mayor of
Baltimore or one of the county com
missioners in the counties.
But Few Able to Comply. #
"Now, T feel that outside of the mem
bers of the bar there would be a very
small percentage of citizens able to
comply with this requirement except
by i-pccia! coaching or memorizing for
the purposes of the test, a true educa
tional test should not be of this char
acter, but should be one that would be
a fair test of the ability to read and
wri^e aud to answer some simple quesr
tions relating to the character of our
government and the principles of Ameri
can democracy.
"As a political measure, 1 think the
disfranchisement of the colored race
and the complete control <>f the state
by the dominant party would be a grave
mistake. It is true the negro vote is
almost solidly republican and is cast
with very little judgment or discrimina
tion. At the same time, the situation
in Maryland is such that the parties
are nearly evenly divided, wliiPh as all
lovers of good government know, makes
for efficiency in administration and hon
est and creditable nominations. While I
am a democrat, and believe in all the
fundamental principles of the democrat
ic party, so far as it does not surrender
to Bryanlsm. I should be very sorry
to see the hold of the democratic party
on the state made so firm that it could
not be called to account for unworthy
measures or discreditable nominations."
Former Gov. Warfleld Talks.
Former Gov. Warfleld is of the opin
ion that a grave injustice w:u? done
Senator Rayner at the recent demo
cratic convention by not giving him its
indorsement. In discussing the squab
ble, Mr. Warfleld said to The Star cor
respondent today:
"Senator Rayner was entitled to the
indorsement of his party by his record
in Washington, and liis friends should .
have, and I believe "rould have, forced'
such action. Maryland is a democratic
state naturally and will vote so ihis j
fall?if the leaders behave themselves? '
but it is such politics as was played i
against Rayner that makes the result!
doubtful."
ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.
No Flies in Porto Rico.
Former Major ;tn<I Brigade Surgeon
George G. Groff, 17. S. v.. has wrlteen a
paper calling attention to the singular
fact that there were no houseflies in
Porto Rico before the invasion of the
United States-- Army in 1898. The house
fly accompanied the army to the island,
and was as numerous in the camps there
as in the camps of the United States,
but when th" army left the flies disap
peared. Files that bite horses and cattle
do not exist in Porto Rico. In the hand
book prepared for the United States Army
of invasion it was asserted that a fly
"?ailed vomitorum existed in Porto Rico,
and if a fly of that kind was swallowed
it caused immediate vomiting. After two
years spent in Porto Rico 1ji\ Groff savs
he never saw the vomitorum fly nor
heard any one on tlie island mention It.
He thinks the strange absence of house
flies in Porto Rico is worth investigation
by a scientific institution, The presence
of some fly-destroyng agency might be
revealed, and through it the fly might be
banished from other places, especially
military camps, where it is the causc of
much sickness.
20 Destroyers Under Const ruction.
The launching of the torpedo boat de
stroyer Rcid makes the liftli of a series
of twenty such destroyers thus fur
launched this year on the Atlantic coast.
The other four were the Smith and Dam
son. which wore launched at the Crainp
yards. Philadelphia, and the Preston and
Flusser. building at Fore River.
The Newport News Company has two
of the same type, flu* Roc and Terry,
and is just starting another, not named,
which has just Ijeen laid down, out < t
the last group of five for which con
tracts have been let.
All of these destroyers are to be large
and very seaworthy. They will be tur
bine propelled and burn oil as fuel.

Conversation by Wireless.
Admiral Schroeder has issued an
order to his fleet captains that a sharp
surveillance of wireless operators mus'
be observed, and that ev.-ry word sent
or received must be kept account of, and
all unconventional talk with other op
erators must be stopped. Wireless is not
to be used between ships that ar ? in sig
naling distance of each o her, but if the
commander-in-chief calls by wireless for
reports or for information such reports
will be made by individual ships, ordi
narily by signal. When any ship is with
in reach of shore wirel ss stations the
apparatus on board ship will not be
used except in urgent cases and for a
period of five minutes before noon each
day, when the wireless noon signal from
the naval observatory at Washington is
expected to be received. In using the
wireless Admiral Schro**d *r urged that
conciseness in framing messages be stud
ied, and adds that "the air is getting too
busy to admit of messages being ex
pressed in a conversational way."
A Pan-Angled Telescope.
After years of patient experimenting j
Dana Dudley of Wakelicld, Mass., has
just had tin- .satisfaction of having hi;

Department. The invention is simple ir
construction. yet. it is said, may revolu

r. fleeting lenses so arranged at antics ir

from a place of concealment. The devic?
as constructed f<?r use in warfare is ar
ranged so that even <?n disapp aring gun*

any point invisible from the exterior the
operator may ascertain the location oi
