The FUR blouse of the moment is be-
widering in its manifold charms, snd
here again does Dame Fashion show
her fidelity to the useful as well as the
beautiful The handsomest of these
blouses are further embeHished by
means of elaborate trimmings of em-
broidered galoon, or of rare old lace.
A jaunty fur toque trimmed to match
the blouse is the invariable accom-
paniment of all the highest priced
models hailing from that center of
tashion-gay Paris.
Speaking of hats reminds me of
omething a bright little friend told
me yesterday. She declared that on
certain days she can wear a certain
hat and look perfectly charming in it,
while on another day she will feel
hoPelessly wrong in the same head
gear. Personally, l do believe that
the hat more than anything else is
liable to these phases, or whatever you
may be pleased to call it, and thus can
make or mar toilette; and therefore
let me advise every woman who can
to lay in a goodly supply of hats
against the day of need.
And what of the headgear of the
moment? 1t is just as charming az
the rest of fashion, and you can have
hat for every occasion. The Toreador
in felt, white for preference, with a
band of black velvet ribbon and
pompons, black velvet bandeau at the
back, fitting it over the eyes, is essen
tally smart wear, admirably adapt
ing itself to the demands of the tailor
made frock. There is a decided ten-
dency for the wearing of peacock's
breasts, coque feathers and queer
feathers of every description. Coy
little turbans of velvet in pale shades
are surmounted by white birds, with
an elaborate draping of lace over the
brim, forming a curtain at the back.
This curtain of lace is apparent on
many of the newest winter hats, and

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 22.-The commit
tee appointed by the convention of United
Mine Workers of America to investigate
Miss Merediths charges against President
Mitchell and Secretary-Treasurer Wilson

the committee indicated that they thought
there is enough in the case to warrant
them in going to the bottom Of the whole
matter.

Miss Meredith was before the committee
for more than an hour and gave detailed
statement of the actions and utterances
of the accused men which were not in
corporated in her statement Some OF
Nitchells friends were in consultation
with members of the committee after the
first session, and it was learned that the
charge was freely made that Miss Mere
dith was in the pay of the coal operators
and that an effort was making to dis
rupt the miners organization
some of the committeeman appeared to
accept this theory. but others rejected it
and said the investigation would go on.
To Dfscreutt MISS MereuIth.
Mother" Jones proved strong parti-
san of the accused officers and is making
a special effort to discredit Miss Mere
dith among the delegates. She declared
that there has never been an eruption
in a human family since the days of Adam
unless a woman was at the bottom of it,
and she added that she was sorry the del
egates had admitted Miss Meredith to the
hall.
The scale committee met today and be-
gan hearing delegates from various sec
tions of the country in regard to what
shall be incorporated in the instrument
for the present year. All the reports favor
an increase and the demands ranged from

scale.

John P. Rees. chairman of the commit
tee, reports that the final conclusion will

SENATE CONFIRMS
OTERO AS GOVERNOR.
An Overwhelming Vote in
His Favor.
THE OPPOSITION FALLS THROUGH

Governor otero. OF New Mexico, was con-
frmed yesterday afternoon by the Senate
by what amounted to a substantially
unanimous vote.
This result was interesting, in view of
the long and stubborn opposition of vari-
Gus persons from New Mexico and the
position taken by Senator Morgan of
Alabama against Mr.. Otero.
Senator Morgan completed long speech
against the New Mexico Governor at u
late hour yesterday afternoon.
Senator Patterson of Colorado followed
with a short but earnest talk in favor of
Governor Otero. He bore personal testi-
mony to the Governors character and
ability, speaking from long acquaintance
with the Governor and his father and his
family which is one long distinguished
in New Mexico.
He also discussed the evidence against
Otero somewhat from legal standpoint
and found little or nothing OF Importance
in it.
Senator Eikins Speaks.
Senator Elkins of West Virginia spoke
briefly. but did not oppose Mr.. otero per-
sonally. He simply spoke well of exDel-
egate Catron, who has been considered the
head and front of the opposition to the
Governor.
Senator Beveridge, chairman of the Com
mittee On Territories. closed with a short
statement of the attitude of the commit
tee, already expressed by its unanimous
report in favor of the Governor.
The Senate then voted. and by a fatter-
ing vote on both sides of the chamber.
amounting to over four-fifths of the Sem
ate Governor Otero was confirmed and
the long and stubborn New Mexico contest
was over.
Nomination Held Up.
At yesterdays session Senator Teller
caused the holding up of the nomination
of Ben Daniels as marshal Of Arizona.
Daniels has the advantage of having been
a member of President Roosevelt's Rough
Riders. Against him is the charge of hay
ing been a gambler. a saloonkeeper, and
he is also accused OF having killed a man.
