LATE FANCY SENT FROM PARIS
Large cIoaks and Wraps Are in Order
in the Gay Capital.

The ample enveloping cloaks of the
regency which were much worn in
Paris last summer are again in order.
and second-empire cloaks and wraps
of shawl-like draping are considered
extremely chic. One sees Louis XIV.
and directoire models and there is
host of fantastic little wraps and short
coats which will be worn over sheer
summer frocks and not only over the
lingerie materials but over chiffons,
sheer yoiles and similar stuffs. White
chiffon broadcloth was used in the
construction of this model and brown
velvet ribbon is drawn through large
buttonholes in the two upper capest
falling in a loop and end at the bot
tom of lowest cape The closing is
made with brown silk braid and small
velvet-covered buttons.

Garnet bracelets are being bought

with three or five rows of stones set
quite close together are liked by
many. while others prefer bracelets

these rich red stones. A single orna-

GOVERNMENT OF CANAL ZONE.
Change Proposed Does Away With All
Municipal Officers.


Washington, March Changes in
the local government on the canal
zone, which will abolish all the munic
ipal governments now in existence
and result in the harmonizing of vari-
GUS pa1ts of the zone, are to become
effective April Is. President Roose-
welt has signed executive orders pro-
viding for wholesale changes and
Richard Rogers, general counsel for
the isthmian canal commission, will
go to the canal zone with Secretary
Taft and remain there for some time
to assist in reorganizing the govern
ment.
All the municipal councils, the may
ors and other municipal officers will
be done away with and the five munic.
1pal governments in the canal zone
will be replaced by four administra-
tive districts which will be under the
direction of the canal commissioners.
These districts will be known as An
con. Emperador, Gorgona and Cristo
BAL Under the old organization the
five municipal governments were in
control of officers nameI by the com,
mission and not elected by the people
Consequently the abolition of the mu
inequalities will not in any way limit
the voice Of the people in their gov.
ernment, but will make it possible fol
the commission to give the various
administrative districts ordinances
and regulations which are in complete
harmony. ,...-

at the Fourteenth avenue crossing by
a Michigan Central railway train. The
fatally injured are James c. Smith,
aged fifty-fve, and Miss Charlotte
Martin.
There were twenty-five passengers
on the car, majority Of them girls on
their way to business. The car stopped
at the railroad crossing and the con-
ductor ran ahead as usual, but ap-
parently did not see the approaching
train. Just after the car passed un-
der the gates and out on the crossing
the gateman sighted the approaching
train and lowered his gates, but the
car was already on the track. The
train struck the car, which had
stopped, in the middle, splitting it in
two and throwing the wreckage fifty
feet away against trolley pole. A
few of the passengers sighted the on
coming train just before the collision
occurred and tried to escape through
the rear door, There was not time
enough, however, and they were
hurled into heap among the wreck

CONTEST over REGISTER
CASS LAKE LAND OFFICE
Position of Register at Cass Lake Land
Office is the Point of
Contention.

Washington, March -(spe.
cial to the Pioneer. )-Congress-
man W. A. Lindbergh of Little
Falls has been making a strong
effort in behalf of former Con.
gresham F. M. Eddy for the
position of register of the Cass
Lake land Office to succeed Bert
S. Oakley.
Mr.. Oakley's four-year term of
service will soon expire, but it
has developed that Congressman
C. B. Buckman, the retiring
member, arranged a nice little
plan whereby Mr.. Oakley will
continue to serve two years
longer if he SO desires. When
the Cass Lake Office was created
Buckman named J. D. Jones as
register and Egbert S. Oakley as
receiver.
Their com missions were to run
for four years. After serving a
little more than two years Jones
resigned, owing to i'll health.
Buckman then had Oakley ap-
pointed register to succeed Jones
and named Nicholas Kohl, a new
man as receiver.
AS Oakley has served but half
of his new term it will be diff.
cult to supplant him, although
Mr.. Lind dbergh is putting up a
good fight for his friend and
staunch supporter, Frank Eddy.
