RESERVOIR HAT FOR
USE OF THE WOMEN
Scheme to Permit the Wear
ing of Natural Flowers
in the Bonnet,

LONDON. Sept. 10.--hn ingenious
foreigner has patented a contrivance
which he calls the reservoir hat.
which will enable the ladies in his
country to wear freshly plucked fiow-
ers on their headgear when they take
their walks abroad. Our leaders OF
fashion may surprise us in the near
future by appearing In public with
hatful of sweet-smelllng Gloire de
Dion roses nodding saucily on their
heads. or lovely spray OF giant car.
nations and lilies of the valley scent
ing the railway carriage in which
we have the pleasure of travelling
with them.
The possibilities of artistic color
schemes are unlimited. II would
seem that all our women folk will
have to do II they want to match
or harmonize the color of the frock
they are wearing with the natural
decorations on their heads Is to go
into the conservatory and pluck
whatever flowers they consider APP
propriate. Some little difficulty may
be experienced by the lady who is
devoid of taste. but. as 1t was ex.
planned, all she would have to do
would be to send her reservoirs
round to the nearest florists, with
particulars of the dress she was GO
inc IN uaa. uith.
A well-known West End expert.
however spoke unfavorably of the
latest novelty. which he described as
'impractlcable and abusrd.
"The chief objective with the real
artist in millinery" he said. sis to
combine elegance with iightness.
And then they talk of asking the
poor creatures to wear bath OF
water on their heads! Why, it's ri
dlculous!

court dame who met royal ac-
quaintance and gave him gratui-
tous cold douche from her reservoir
hat as she bent low In her greeting,

who. bending down to manipulate a
refractory shoe lace as she sat in

BALLlNGER'S HEAD COMES
OFF, SIGNS INDICATE
Committee Meets and Interior
Secretary's Friends Are
Absent.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. Cit ap-
pears to be all over but the actual
casting OF the black balls In tlfe
Ballinger case. The Investigating
committee will meet tomorrow In
Minneapolis.
II IL most significant that the prin-
cipal absentees are the members OF
the Ballinger committee who have
been known as most sympathetic
with Ballinger's side of the case.
Flint OF California and Senator
Root OF New York, usually number
ed with the regular Republican ma
jority of seven, counted on to apply
the whitewash, are not here and are
not expected. Flint is In Europe.
He Is said to be slated for the secre-
taryship as soon as Balllnger can be
pried loose from the portfolio.
On the assumption that this re-
port is true, a natural delicacy would
forbid that Flint would be active In
Ballinger's excelsior from the Taft
osficial family.
This leaves the supposedly pro-
Ballinger division OF the committee
reduced to Ave. OF whom two are
still absent from Minneapolis. The
missing members are Representatives
olmstead OF Pennsylvania and Denny
OF Michigan.
An urgent call has been sent to
them to hurry to Minneapolis. II Is
possible the meeting OF the commit
tee will be postponed until Thursday
to enable them TO be present.

COOPER KILLED IN RIOT
No Evidence of Death Cause d

Paducah, KY. Aug. Eight men
were charged with the murder of
Axiom Cooper at a barbecue near
Lamasco last Saturday by eoro-
ner's jury at Lamasco Wednesday. OF
these eight, six are under arrest and
it is believed the other two, Bob and
Bart Kretmer, are still in hiding in
this section. The two Kretmers,
Roy Mock and a man named Mitch
ell. are accused of the actual shoot
ing.
Evidence at the inquest did not
tend to show that Cooper was the
victim of night rider plot. even
though his life had been threatened,
but indicated that he was shot dur
ing a general drunken brawl.
Following the inquest the civil and
military authorities held a confer
ence at the end of which it was de
clared there were no differences be-
tween the two authorities and Col
Bassett turned his six prisoners ovei
to the sheriff who took them to Ed
