MRS. M'CRATH
MAY HOLD ON
Probability Now That JanitOr
will Serve City in Some
Other Capacity
REPUBLICANS SUPPORT
BILDERBACK IN POSITION

Before the regular meeting of City
Council last night, the members of
that body held conference relative
to Mrs. Mary McGrath, janitor Of the
Council chambers. Mrs. McGrath was
dismissed by the public building COM
mittee on August 1, but she still re-
tains her place.
The Democratic members last night
wanter her retained but the Repub-
licans thought they should stand by
Chairman Bilderback, of the public
building committe who notified Mrs.
McGrath that her services would not
be needed after August /.
Councilman Conner, of the Second
ward, who voted with the Democrats
at the beginning of the present Coun-
Gil for city Offices announced last
night that he would stand by the
chairman of the public building com
mittee in the McGrath matter. AS a
result, this leaves the matter, should
1t come to vote, seven against rein
stating Mrs. McGrath and six votes
in the affirmative. 1t was said, how
ever, that while Mrs. McGrath would
lose her present position, she might
be taken care of in another.
In the regular meeting of Council
President of Council Benson answered
the question asked by Councilman
Zimmerman Of the First ward, who
wanted to know whether a chairman
of a committee could hold a meeting
without notifying all the members OF
that committee.
Mr.. Benson said that chairman
of a committee could hold a meeting
with majority Of the members Of his
committee
Mr.. Zimmerman did not think such
procedure was proper He thought
every member Of the committee
should be notified.
The question was brought up sew
eral meetings ago when Mr.. Kane, the
Democratic member of the public
building committee, said he had not
attended any meeting Of that commit
tee in which Mrs. McGrath's case was
discussed.

A DAINTY GOWN OF SILK.

Soft thin silks promise to be favor
ite materials for indoor wear through
ont the coming season Here is a
gown that is trimmed with ribbon
frills and that is dainty and charm

withal and should appeal to the home
dressmaker with peculiar force. The
little blouse is made all in one piece.
II can be cut out to form a round
neck or a square neck or 1t can be
made with an applied yoke. The
skirt is five gored, narrow without
exaggeration. In this instance. it is
finished at the high waist line and is
made with a habit back, but one Of
its great advantages is found in the
fact that women who prefer fullness
at the back can cut It with inverted
plaits, and those to whom the high
waist line is not becoming, can nm
ish it with a belt. II gives long
slender lines. yet 1t is not exagger-
atedly narrow. This skirt is made
plain, with Just the little frills Of rib
bon as trimming and these frills can
be arranged at any preferred depth.
II two materials were used, the skirt
could be cut of and Joined to a slight
ly circular founce. Gowns such as
this are always most attractive for
simple afternoon wear and every wo-
man likes to have a generous supply
OF the wardrobe. Pretty simple silks.
challis, wool wolfe. cashmere and all
materials of the kind are appropriate
for this model, but Powered and bro

SOME DOUBT WHERE
CHAIRMAN MURPHY STANDS

gart could consistently take this posi-
TO admit that he has had a candidate
for state chairmn There has been talk
for some time among the Democrats to
the effect that the Democratic state off,
cials ought to have a hand in he cleo
tion of a state chairman because they
will be candidates again and ought to
have the right to say who shall direct
their campaign and spend their money
still be Taggart victory. because the
state officials who will be on the ticket
again are all Taggart men and they
could be counted to pick state
chairman who would be entirely salts
factory to Taggart.
A dispatch from Fort Wayne yester-
day quoted Senator steve Fleming as
still predicting that Edward G. Hoff-
man. of Fort Wayne. will be elected
state chairman. There is belief here
the state officers might possibly pick
Hoffman for the chairmansiiip and that
il would not be at all unsatisfactory to
Taggar In fact. the report even goes
so far as to say that there may be an
understanding among all parties con-
cerned tht such a plan shall be put
through On the face of 1t. this looks
like ridiculous story. but one can

TINES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind. Dec 29.-This is
the day when the Democrats decide
whether Tom Taggart is to continue In
control of the Democratic state COM
mittee or whether the ontrol will pass
TO the anti Taggart faction which has
had its long. cleaning knife out ready
for him. The district conventions are
being held today all over the state for
the election of district chairmen who
will compose the state committee.
Present Indications are that Taggart
will be found to be in control. 1t is
believed that he will have eight os
the thirteen members of the state COM
mittee, and this number can easily elect
the chairman selected by Taggart.
There is report that after the mem
bers of the state committee are elected
today and the smoke of the battle has
cleared away, Taggart Will issue a
statement to the effect that he has ,
candidate for state chairman. and that
in his opinion the selection of state
chairman should be left in the hands of
the Democratic state officials, who viii
be candidates for re-elecdon.
This would be smooth move on the
part or Taggart. 1t Is admitted. and I
would, probably meet with the approval

Does the fireman ever get any of your

OF course he does if you are human.
but it is wasted sympathy when you
are comparing his winter hardships
with those he encounters in the sum-

out of a man sooner than the cold.
Now every fireman is a lightning
