M1DD1J5TOWN -DAILY TIMES-PBESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1915. 3 Daily Letter from the State Capital By Frederic' T. Cardoze. (Albany Manager of the In ternaUonal Service). PANTALETTE, 'NEW FASHION CRAZE, REALLY ORIGINATED BY LOCAL WOMAN50 YEARS AGO Albany, Aug.

5--If you should hap- en to ask the question while attend- ng a session of the Constitutional Convention, "Where does the Hon. Villiam Berri sit?" a dozen in the 'onvention hall would reply with vidity. "Down near the desk of the 'residing officer. He is that distln- ruished gentleman In the black silk oat." Looking in that direction you i'ould see a dignified, kindly apper.r- ng delegate with a small imperial, observing eyes and learing. Aside from the fact that he is a lelegate-at-large, is the owner, of r.

arge Brooklyn newspaper, is widely for his philanthropic ucts; Is deutified with the Sunday school hildren of his city, is the chairman tf the committee on printing of the Constitutional Convention, is im- densely popular, is able and modest, may be sai-1 that he is to be the most royal host among he delegates. The last tribute is in tself sufficient to single him out for bservance and it does. When Mr. Berri came to Albary attend the sessions of the Con- entien, he arrived at the conclusion hat come of the idle of the lelegates could be whlled away pleos- ntly; he went about whiling," as it were. "The first little ileasantry he conceived was to make he members of the printing com aittee, some chosen friends and a mall army of newspapermen his per- onal guests for a four days' sojourn the Fort William Henry Hotel, jake Gecrge.

"tt'hen his secrets ry ubrnitted his tentative arrangements or ths trip," Delegate Berri raised is hand and smiled ever so faintly, Make it a private car, Jo," he aci lonished. A private car was sub- tituted. The private car was followed by rivate launches which merrilj ching, Tired, Tender, Smarting, Swollen nd Corns, Callouses and Bunions nd Feet that feel as though they ever would get rested and give you ny peace are promptly relieved by hot foot bath with A I I FOOT SOAP, i a a and ready for instant use.

But Mr. Eerrl was not satisfied with one rnero illustration of his hospitality.

Little dinner parties here und there, when the guests numbered a score or more and none of whom had been selected because of dispep- tic disqualifications, followed with a regularity which made practically tho entire delegation at Albany at ono time or other a participant. "1 enjoy being in good company," was the comment of the bountiful host when he was mildly cautioner, by his associates that he was doinsr trifle more than his share to alleviate the wear and tear of after e'- fect of too close an application to the needs of the people. And is nobody who does not believe that the remark js true. Mr. Berri is ac ideal host because he enjoys betns one.

But it was not always that the generous Brooklyn delegate could laugh at expense. He is another illustration of sturdy American manhood anl tireless application to the setting 01 the cornerstone of his business enterprises. Time was when he filled more than one position in connection with the znodeet sheet which since has been guided to its proud and influential station through his energy and ability. And there was also a time when Mr. Berri was now and then the guest of someone else, sampling the pleasures which he novv dispenses with a lavish hand.

One of the delegates quotes from Shakespeare and likens the words of the Bard of Avon to him thus: "I do not profess to be less than I seem; to serve him truly that will put me in trust; to love him that is honest; to conveise with him that is wise and say little. A very honest fellow." USES OWN CAR FOR BIG THEFT New York. Aug. $22.000 from the Liberty National bank as the weekly payroll for workmen on the new subway section at the Battery Edward C.

When in need of anything, use tho Times-Press want tlseuieni. Despite the striking contrast shown In the above pictures they can l-o said to furnish Indisputable evidence that a stylo originating In this city BO years ago has become generally adopted by tho women of today an'l that the originator, once lookod upon the people of Middletown as woman of very advanced Idens, has been vindicated In bor Judgment by the designers of feminine apparel of the present time. The most modern of the pictures shown herewith Is that of Miss Ruth Sturtevant wearing what Now Yorkers are- pleased to call the "now" single pantalette. The other picture, taken from an old history of Orange county, is that of or rathr-r Doctor, Lydla Sayer Hasbrouck, wlio in 1SG4 and 18G5 was president rf the National Drees Reform Association, and who wore tho costume shown In the picture Just 50 years ago. In 1SG4 the annual convention ot this organlaztlon was hold In Mlcl- dletown and a large number of worn eu wearing the "reform" dress crowded Gothic Hall where the sessions were held.

The pantalette. In those days, created more of a sensation on the streets of Middletown than is credited to the present day garment which has been generally adopted by the fashionable sot In Now York and which, In a more exaggerated form. Is seen In the bathing costumes at nearly all of the beaches. Dr. Hasbrouck was a leader In the feminine movement In her day and her dress reform idea was only one of many which are now being followed by the women of today.

Bhe contributed numerous articles to the Press of this city and to other newspapers on tho Fubject of equal rights and tho present day "Suffragettes'" are merely fighting for many of the things she" first claimed to bo within the rlerhts of womankind. To Middletown. therefore, belongs credit rliero IB in "Panto- Tetles for Women" and Dtr. Hasbrouck, and not the present designers, should be hailed as the real originator. NEW HUERTA PLOT NIPPED EJ Paso, Aug.

arrest of twenty Mexicans has effectually halted a second attempt to start a Huerta- Orozco revolution. They were captured near Fort Hancock and are held hero on a charge of conspiracy to violatn the neutrality laws by going on an armed expedition to Mexico. The Mexicans were arrested while going in tho direction of the border. They bad forty rifles, a quantity of ammunition and a wagon filled with commiHsury supplies. Alpine Farias, one of the prisoners, is related to General Pascual Orozco.

Washington, Aug. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, after conference with officials of tho state department, has issued orders directing General Funston, who Is In command of the Mexican border forces, to rush an additional battery of artillery from Fort Sill, to El Paso, Tox. It IH understood the government Intends further to strengthen Its forces at this point to prevent filibustering expeditions from crossing the border. These Instructions were due to tho recent skirmish in which one United States soldier was killed and another wounded. General Calles of Cnrranza's forces Is reported to have attacked Nogales.

United States troops with machine guns are rendy to use them If bullets comes across the border. Representatives of the Latin-American republics were In conference to- dny with Secretary Lansing, and It is expected they will ngrpe to the plan outlined in these dispatches of mnk- Ing a working base for Mexican peace by restoring to power fhe remnants of thp last regular or Madero administration. It Is probable that a sixty days' ultimatum will he Issued to the warring chieftains within the next few dnys, counseling them as to the to be pursued. PUBLICITY MANAGER. Poughkeepsle, Aug.

Meetings wore held Tuesday and will be continued through today. The sessions are being hold In the Veterinary Coilogo Cornell University ajid uro occupied with number of papers, lectures, clinics and entertainments for tho wivoH nml families of the veterinarians in attendance. At o'cloolc Tuesday niBht the veterlnarlann dlnod In the Ithaca Hotel and thereafter listened to several addresses, the principal ouo of which was given by Charles S. Wilson, Stato Commissioner of Agriculture.

Tho commissioner omphaslred tlws 1m- portnnco of veterinary work by ro- forrlng to the ravages ot tho foot and mouth dlsonoo during tho last yetir and by giving tho following fUjures: 5,440 cattle lout fit an appraisal value of 498 swine lost at a value of ir.O ehoop at a value of and 38 swits valued at $210. This with the property damage makes a total loss of $449,591.90. of which the State's apportionment was In addition to this, miscellaneous tixponsos realtivo to tho sulxlulnK of tho ravagros of tho disease brought tho entire cost to tho state up to $800,000. Work of Department Veterinarians. Concerning tho work of tho state veterinarians In tho department of agriculture ho said: "In ono yoar tho department has employed about 80 different veterinarians--seven aro on regular salary, the others aro employed by tho clay.

I am In doubt as to whether tho per dlom employment of veterinarians Is productive of tho best results. It is tho plan of the department to employ more veterinarians by tho year, requiring such mon to devote tholr entire time to departmental mutters and perfect thomHolvos along those lines of wofk to which Uioy may be assigned. "Tho problems on which these veterinarians have been working aro. In thf main, tuberculosis, fflanderu, hog cholera, anthrax, blackleg, ratios, Infectious abortion, and, more recently, tho foot and mouth disease. "It seems to me that our present method of treating bovine tuberculosis IB not Rolng to solve tho question.

While tho total percentage of reactors Is slowly decreasing, It Beams to me I hat this decroaHO Its not proportionate to the money expended. Is it rlwht for the state to continue each year to spend noarly to reimburse owners for cattle slaughtered? Our present Inw seems Inadequate In tho.t It. encourages tho killing of desirable animals that are valuable to Now York for the purposes of breeding. Under tho Bang system, at present, the commissioner of agriculture Is permitted to experiment so as to determine the best methods or means for ths control, suppression or eradication of tho disease, and under that permission tho department has adopted a policy whicb may be outlined as follows: Policy as to Bovine Tuberculosis. "First.

Tho cattle may bo retained under Bang system toy owner, under conditions proscribed by this depart- raont. "Second. The cattle may be turned over to any state, county or other pub- lic- Institution, providing; such Institution compiles with certain regulations flu to care and treatment, "Third. Tho owner of such cattle may contract for their sale or tranefer to a prlvalV Individual or corporation, with permission of the department providing tho general Are compiled with." Slaughter Failed. Tho commissioner of agriculture workiuR under the present regulations does not believe he can Ktyo over free of charge any Individual or corporations animals that have been paid for by tho state.

"Tho present plan, therefore, controls tho disease by slaughter. I cannot seo that -we aro going to rid ourselves of the tabcr- culoHU by slaughter. On the contrary I realize the value of Individual effort on the individual farm. Is it not possible for under the present law to help wreatly by Inducing- tho owners to keop and segregate dofilrabJe stock? In the lust four or five years the state has been obliged to pay Increasing Indemnities for animals ulatigb-tored because of glanders. "I think from the point of view of.

a layman that our veterinarians ought to face those facts and. If possible, work out some plan whereby this disease may bo controlled BOfflciently to Insure safety to tho public health and for less sums of money than are expended at the pro.sont time." Tho commissioner then cited several canes In which veterinarians In tho employ of tho state had, in some cases adopted crooked measures and had Inefficient. In this respect he asked tho aid of tho society In assisting to stamp out each, practices. "I thliik your organization should know those facts," he said, "and I believe It "behooves you, la tlio host Interests of. veterinary work, to eliminate such actions from, the veterinary practice." WARSAW DEFENSE BROKEN AT LAST London, following npon a report from Tho that the Bniwlan embauBy there bad announced the evacuation of-Wnrnaw by the forces of the tbero came tho onlclnl nln foment from Berlin thnt tho army under I'rlnco Leopold of Bavaria had driven tho Russians back from tho Hlonlo lino Into the fortrosecs of 'War- Haw proper.

Thin In tho flrirt statement Indicating an actual break In the immediate defenses of Warsaw, and the fact thnt it WBH nccompllfihod a more desperate struggle Is taken to mean that the main hodlca of troops have been withdrawn from the city. Tho German drtvo In Courland continues, and announcement IB made that the baokn, the public offices, the schools and other institutions are being moved from Riga. That does not indicate a military evacuation, but rather that tho nnHBlnn fleet will bombard Its own city, should the Germans enter the place.
