c OAK MODELS TO
co? THE IDEA!
NEW YORK CIVIC FEDORA ION
REFoRMERs SIMPLY
HORRlD.
JUST CATS; so THERE, NOW!
DECLARES ONE lNDlG-
NANT GIRL.

The trials and tribulationS Of Nellie,
the beautiful cloak model, are reach
ing head in New York, and the out
! look is dark for Nellie, indeed. Today
the calcium was turned on the west
ern Nellie, and, with all the lndlgna-
ton attendant upon outraged dignity,
she had few things to say in regard
to the latest affront that has been Of
fered to her kind.
To begin with, the Industrial en-
ployes welfare committee of the ma
tional civic federation in New York
has decreed that Nellie ought to and
eventually will be forced to obtain
other means of livelihood. Just what
feeling this announcement has stirred
up in New York is not known, but it
has provoked an outburst of feminine
wrath elsewhere.
That the employing of girls as mod
girls themselves and on the employ
ers and purchasers as well is the
opinion of New York.
"Why, the ideal" declared one
young lady cloak model. It's shame,
and somebody ought to tell those
New York people the facts of the mat
ter. Cloak models are no more i'm
moral than any other employees IN
drygoods store, and I think anybody
who says they are is perfect cat
so there, now!"
If anybody thinks clay figure can
answer the purpose OF the cloak
model, as the New Workers intimate,
models generally will tell him or her
just in what way it cannot and how
| it will be as impossible to abolish the
cloak model as it would be to Danish
the floor walker.
81 suppose hazarded another
young lady, sarcastically, that they
want us to stop chewing gum and eat
ing bonbons and going to matinees."
IF l were a New York girl l
! wouldn't submit to it," exclaimed an
other.
"Why. there hasn't been man
purchaser here since I've been a
| cloak model" said one.
) The cloak models are backed up IN
this storm Of protest by their en-
ployers. too. Their general opinion is
that it would be difficult matter to
find a more thoroughly ladylike per-
sonage than the cloak model.
81 don't know what the conditions
| in New York are" said a manager OF
one store, ''but do know that as
general thing our cloak models are re
spectable and most refined"
1.-THE civic federation's protest
against the cloak model in New
York" declared a Chicago merchant
mentions especially those OF lac,
tories and showrooms. Now, the
conditions in store are vastly dlner
ent from those in a showroom or
factory. can assure you that oul
models are respectable and any nue.
and cry against them is unfounded.,
What the civic federation's move
ment in New York will accomplish Is
of course a matter that only time
and Investigations into real condl
tons will tell. If the body takes VI
the matter in the west, cloak models
are prepared to give it a warm argu
ment.
"Cloak model to go? Not in 1000

stitution that the complete store can
not do without. Not only are w
cloak models, but in the majority o
cases model women as well ana III
civic federation will have hard tim
proving us otherwise observed on
merchant, with some feeling.

 This telegram contains the first au- thoritative statement that the revolu- tionary party will not accept as pres ident of Nicaragua any one who has any affiliation with Zelaya. The selec- tion of either Madriz or Irias for this post. therefore. means a continuance of the revolution with all the energy and effectiveness at the command of the Estrada party.

 stunned.
 Washington Dec. 2O.-Secretary of State Knox let it be known today that the attitude of this government to- ward Nicaragua would not be changed by the election of Madriz to the pres- idency as the successor of Zelaya, re- signed. Madriz will have to show that he is capable of directing a re- sponsible government which is pre- pared to make reparation for the wrongs which it is claimed have been done to American citizens in the Gen. tral American republic.
 It was announced at the state de- pertinent that the attitude of the Unlleu SIaCes IoWdru MddrlZ WOulu De just as 1t was outlined in the note which Secretary Knox directed to MT. Rodriguez. at that time the Nicarag- uan charge in this city several weeks ago, severing all diplomatic relations with Nicaragua.

DR. JOSE MADRlZ ELECTED
 PRESIDENT OF NICARAGUA
By Unanimous Consent of Congress
 Session Stormy One.

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 20.-Dr. Jose Madriz, former judge of the Gen. tral American court of justice at Car tage, and Zelaya's candidate, was elect ed president of Nicaragua today by the unanimous vote of congress. The session was a stormy one, but there seemed to be perfect unanimity with regard to the election of Madriz and when the official announcement was made there were vociferous cheering and cries of Viva Madriz," 'Viva Leon," Down with monopoleis, D Down with tyranny" Long live the constitution"
 Dr. Madriz will assume the presiden- cy at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. He was escorted to the balcony of his ho- tel, where he was greeted by crowds which had gathered around the build ing and made a brief speech urging harmony and cooperation. He pledged himself to uphold the rights of the cit izens, granting free elections and es- tablishing a policy of equal opportuni- ties for all.
 It is known both to Zelaya and Mad rig that General Estrada, the leader of the revolutionists, who are ready to fight the government forces at Rama, is strongly opposed to the new presi- dent, for it is well understood that Estrada himself aspires to fill the pres idential chair. The hope is cherished however, that Dr. Madriz in his new capacity would be able to smooth out many of the rough places and bring about such an amicable condition among the people themselves that he will not be compelled to withdraw from office. What Zelaya and his supporters most feared was rising in the de- partments around Managua.
 The morning sitting of congress was given over to dissensions and angry exchanges between the deputies. A motion that congress sit in permanent session was vigorously opposed and was characterized by recriminations on all sides. The motion eventually was defeated.

Brussels, Dec. 20.-Baroness Waugh an, whom Leopold made his queen in fact if not in name, quietly left Bel gium today, her reign ended, her pow CT collapsed, accepting the hint of the government that if she did not depart voluntarily she would be expelled from the country.
 Took a Train for France.
 The baroness packed up those mag nificent furnishings of her chateau which were the personal gifts of King Leopold and forwarded them across the frontier. She herself took a train for France. To the Belgians this good looking young woman with brown hair and gleaming black eyes was always a great mystery, but they accepted her determined and self-willed king. They have thought for years of her resi- dence beside the kings, of the famous floral bridge linking the two domains They have discussed with unconcern her absolute dominion over the kings private life. Yet now, with the king dead. they have been driven to deep resentment that as the kings body was borne through the streets and was lying in state at the palace, her photographs were exhibited and sold in the Brussels thoroughfares and her name shouted out by hawkers as Car oline. the queen"
 Marriage Gossip Continues.
 Despite despatches from Italy and other countries, asserting that King Leopold and Baroness Vaughan were married according to the rites of the church, the kings personal friends persist in their disbelief of this, while they characterize the stories of civil union as pure nonsense. They say that Leopold, whatever his faults in private life would never destroy the official dignity of the kingdom.
 The semi-official Twentieth Century points out that the Belgian code stipu- istes that the rights of succession to the throne pass to direct descendants of legitimate birth. If there was civil marriage in Italy it might create potential rights, but it is argued the absence of all records, all publication of such a ceremony, and especially the

She was conducted with royal honors to the chateau Bel vedere, which henceforth will be her official home.
 Vast Crowd at the Palace.
 Again today a vast crowd viewed the body of the late king. Many of the people who came in from the prov inces were incensed that the gates were closed at three o'clock and they tried to force an entrance. In the panic people were trodden on, gar ments were torn and women fainted. Quite a number were injured. Finally the palace was re-opened.
 Funeral Arrangements.
 Arrangements for the funeral and the swearing in of the new sovereign are proceeding rapidly. An army of workmen has taken possession of the cathedral, which is being draped. and the chamber of deputies is being re- arranged for the ceremonies on Thurs day, when Albert will triumphantly enter Brussels on horseback. Dele gatfons are arriving from the Europ- can courts. The United States will be represented by Henry l.. Wilson, the minister to Belgium, and U.

Lawyers here look for much litigation over the property.
