ICE IS CAUSE OF
 BAD ACCIDENTS

Meridian, Miss, December 20.-(Spe- cial.)-Two severe accidents occurred in Meridian today as the result of the ice-covered ground. After a heavy rain of Saturday night and the freeze that followed, Dr. O. A. Harrison, one of the oldest and one of the most prominent physicians of Meridian and physician and surgeon for the Queen and Crescent system for the past dozen or more years, while walking from hk residence on Twenty second avenue to- ward his office in the business district slipped on the ice and sustained a frac- ture of the right thigh. At late hour tonight Dr. Harrison is resting easy and the half dozen or more local physi- clans who attended him believe that lie will recover. The second similar ac- cident was sustained by Mrs. S. F. McNeil, a prominent lady of the High lands, who slipped the ice and broke her right hip. She, too, is expected to recover.
 The city is experiencing the coldest weather since 1895. A number of horses fell on the paved streets, sustaining broken legs. They were shot to re- lieve them of their misery.

Views of Mrs. Belmont.

New York, December 20-Mrs. o. H. F. Belmont, who has recently transferred her interests from society to suffrage, gave out statement tonight of her impressions of the justice meted out to unfortunate women in the night court. In answer to numerous requests from tho women who are managing the shirtwaist strike, that some of us, who are also trying to assist, would be present at the trial of the girls arrested" says Mrs. Belmont q went Saturday night to Jefferson Market court. I was pres ent from 9 o'clock, when the night court opened until three in the morning.
 During the six hours spent in that police court saw enough to convince me and all who were with me beyond the smallest doubt of the absolute ne- cessity for woman's suffrage for the di- rect influence of women over judges, juries, policemen. over everything and everybody connected with the so-called courts of justice.
 "A hundred fold was it impressed upon me in the cases of the women of the streets who were brought before the judge. Every woman who sits compla- gently amidst the comforts of her home or moves with perfect freedom and in- dependence in her own protected socis 1 circles and says I have all the rights want should spend one night in the Jefferson Market court. She would then know that there are other women who have no rights which man or law or so- ciety reeognizes.'

Excited by the enthusiastic meetings of the previous evenings the members of the union had difficulty in applying themselves to their work until the time agreed upon for strike had ar rived. Promptly at the appointed time they left their work benches and ma chimes and reported at strike head quarters
 Recognition of the union is demanded and 20 per cent increase in wages.

INAUGURATION BAL
Magnificent Decoration and Lighting
Effects in Pension Building.

Washington, March 5.-The great
court of the Pension building where
the inaugural bali was held was a pic
ture of rare beauty.
President Taft arrived at the ball
at $50 o'clock
The decorations for other inaugural
balls have been greatly admired but
there can be little doubt. that the com
mittee of architects and decorators
who had charge of the present work
secured wonderfully beautiful effects
rarely. If ever, before accomplished.
The great height OF the roof of the
building was q serious obstacle to
satisfactory treatment by the decora-
tors. and to overcome it ii was found
necessary TO reduce it some 40 or so
feet. This was done by skillful use
! of bunting forming a canopy or vault
arching across the entire width and
length of the building. about 100 by
/ 800 feet
The music stand, which was in the
form Of a half Octagon amphltheatre,
filed the east end Of the large hall
! for about IS feet. The seats of the
stand rose in tiers toward the east
wall, where large masses Of tropical
plants and flowers rising to a height
of 40 feet, framed in the decorative
vista at that end Above the music
stand large trophy of American
flags was suspended from the vaulted
ceiling overhead
The presidents box was the most
ornate and very pleasing feature of
the whole scheme and occupied the
width of three sections of the arcade,
about thirty feet in extent and depth
had been made by opening the cen
trail one of the sections and draping
it so as to form a loggia This log
gia was lined with scarlet and was in
directly lighted to produce a soft
glow
The illumination of the great ball.
room was carried out on radically diff.
ferent lines from those followed hith-
erto.
Suppementing the provision for
general illumination, half octagon
brackets each with a cluster of TWEEN.
ty small lamps suspended singly from
it, were placed over each of the first
story columns of the arcade The
supporting frames for these served as
receptacles for large blooming plants
The large branches of rambler roses
aZaleas and yellow forcythia present
ed the appearance of huge bouquets
and as there were hundred or more
of them, extending around the -four
sides of the great interior, the effect
was extremely pleasing, and at the
same time gave the needed strong
color in the decoration of the arcade
AS seen from an upper gallery, the
scene below was entrancingly beauti
full, the soft lights. the perfect har
mony and binding colors, the rich
ness Of the decorations, and the fra
GRANGE of the flowers combining t
make it memorable.
