bronze green hue. TIE upper portion
was OF finely tucked white net. the
sleeves OF similar hlmy material lightly
yelled with black tulle. A very large
black plumed hat completed an en-
semble OF which every woman tried
hard TO get a glimpse"
The same correspondent euIarges on
the subject Of the new toques. which
she describes as the queerest looking
things Imaginable. Some remind one of
the Paris chestnut mans rabbit skin
cap around the corner. others Of Ma
poleon's Grenadiers. while others, again.
suggest the North Pole and Lapianders.

mSurgent Republican
 COngreSSn1en Confer

Washington, December u.-Nineteen sinsurgent'' republican congressman met in the room of Representative Hubbard of Iowa In the House office building and for three hours discussed ways and means of forwarding the fight berrun at the extra session against the House rules.
 It is surmiAed tha. ether topics beside this were discussed. rus alter the meeting broke up the participants refused to ad- init that any other propositions than the one to amend the Cannon rules" were considered
 Representative Hays of California acted as chairman of the meeting and Repre- sentative Nelson of Wisconsin was sec retary. The net result of the meeting, it is said, was the appointment of two committees of five members each.
 One committee is to map out a plan of action regarding further procedure, and presumably to sound out the demo- is declared, and the other is to take care of the subject of publicity.
 The following members were present according to the list furnished the press by Chairman Hays, Gronna of North Dakota, Haugen, Hubbard, Pickett, Good, Woods and Kendall of Iowa, Hay of California. Hinshaw and Nelson of Ne hraska. Madison and Murdock of Kansas, Polndexter cr Washington, Lindberg of Minnesota, Livering of Massachusetts and Carey, Cooper and Nelson of Wiscon- sin. /
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-12-12

It was stated that letters were received from several others. including Davis of Minneapolis, Gardner Of Massachusetts. Halstead of Minnesota and Fowler of New Jersey. It was insisted tonight that the attendance tonight did not reflect the full strength of the movement in the present. Congress.
 Representative Hays said if a vote were tsker in the House today 5e rcpub- lican votes could be mustered.
 He said the movement has been on the increase since the last session, and he added every member present was prac- ticslly unanimous in his support of the principles they advocated 'It should be understood" said he, s'that we are only aiming at the amending of the House rules In the case of various other propo- sitions where the members have been classed as insurgents our views vary. But we are unanimous to the last man on this proposition"
 The insurs ents were reticent on the subject of publicity regarding tonight's meeting. Wien the members emerged from Congressman Hubbards office after the three-hours conference each of them lodged the waiting newspaper correspond ents. and the reporters were referred to Representative Hays for the news of the meeting.
 MT. Hays was also reluctant about discussing the question of the recalcit- rants plans. He declined to give the names of those present and refused to make public the names of the members of the two committees, but subsequently, said an address to the public would is- sue from the insurgents camp within short time on the subject of the House rules

ELLIS CHANGES
 PLEA IN TRIAL

' Little Rock, Ark, December 11.-w. Y. Ellis of Pine Blun, Ark. whose trial on charge of murder in connection with the killing of N. P. Willis of Indianapolis, Ind, resulted in a mistrial. late this evening, entered plea of guilty of vol- untary manslaushter, appealing to the mercy of the court for a minimum prison term.
 The case was reopened before Judge Lea in circuit court at the instance of the attorneys for Ellis because of the lat ter's health. which, it is asserted. is failing.
 Sentence was withheld, Judge Lee in- structing that Ellis be examined by To- cal alienists, who will determine as to whether he is now suffering from the hereditary tendencies of insanity, as tes- tifed to during the trial.
 Temporary insanity was set up in the defense of Ellis. The examination will probably be conducted Monday by Dr. E. P. Bledsoe of Little Rock and Dr. J. F. Sheppard. superintendent of Pu- lash County hospital
 The minimum sentence possible is two years in the state penitentiary, and the maximum ten years. Tonight a petition was started in clr- euiation seel<ing to secure nllis' pardon.
