doomed man to rise and get out of the

flaming letteds in his brain: Thou
shalt do no murder" And after 1t an

enemies, bless them that curse you, do

Something gripped HIM and before
he realized what he was doing he was
running, gasping, tripping and falling
headlong, only to spring up and run
again. with all thoughts trampied out
and beaten down by one: Would he
still be in time?
There was something wrong with the

Gordon had not breath wherewith 10

Suddenly the frenzy, so alien to the

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMES

The newest trimming In millinery

mothers or grandmothers knew moth.

doubly grateful for the efforts of milli.
ners
Garlands Of plumes are used on
broad, low hats. They are spotted and
flecked with color, and some are made
OF layers of different shades, giving a
wonderfully irridescent effect.
On velvet turbans the use of a sin.
gle plume attached at the front, and
extending toward the back in a slant
Ing line, Is quite evident. This line for
the plume Is used on large hats as
well. And speaking Of the wide. fiat
shapes leads us to the introduction OF
ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two
successful Paris milliners have done
this with great effect.
Feather rosettes are made of ostrich
plumes. Concentric circles Of cut
feathers are placed around jeweled
center. At the side of turban or on
the upturned brim of large velvet
hat this new type of ornament Is ex.
tremely chic.
A feather band is being used on
many large hats. Black and white
plumes are favored for these orna.
ments. They are detachable, hooking
at one side. This idea is attractive.

BRYAN IS FLAYED
UNDERWOOD IN SPEECH SAYS
NEBRASKAN Is FALsIFIER.
Charge of Delaying Iron and Steel
Tariff Revision by Committee
Is Cause of Attack.

Washington.-In one of the most re
markable scenes in the house since
the beginning of the extra session
Representative Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama, the Democratic leader of
the house, fred a verbal broadside at
William Jennings Bryan for the lat.
ter's criticism of his position on the
extension of the tariff revision pro.
gram. Mr.. Underwood's Democratic
colleagues wildly cheered him as he
made his vitrolic attack upon the
Nebraskan.
Excoriating the three times candi-
date Of the Democratic party for pres
idential honors, Leader Underwood d.
nounced Mr.. Bryan's statements as
false, defended his (Underwoods at
titude as to revision of the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
member implications unfounded in
fact
He called on his colleagues of the
ways and means committee for cor
roboration of his attitude.
Mr.. Underwood was ba ,kcd up in a
similarly striking speech by Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
long devoted friend Of Bryan. Mr..
Kitchin expressed surprise that any
Democrat should so malign Mr.. Under
wood and the party, and through all
this arraignment not a voice was
raised in defense of Bryan.

interview, which purported to be "au.
thorized" by Mr.. Bryan, declaring It

Washington.-The congressional re-
apportionment bill passed the senate
by an undivided vote, but the meas.
ure, as it came from the house, was
SO amended as to safeguard against
gerrymandering Of congressional dis
tricts by the state.
The measure gives the house 433
members, an increase of AZ over the
present representation. This does not
include the new members which will
be sent from Arizona and New Mexico.
The Democratic cotton bill cutting
an average of 21 per cent. from the
present duty passed the house, all the
Democrats and thirty insurgents vot.
ing for it. The total vote was 202 to 81.
The bill cuts the average tariff on
cotton manufactured goods from 4S to
q per cent. ad valorem, 21 per
cent. reduction in duty that the Demo
cratic leaders estimate to reduce rev.
enue by about $3,O00,000. Not an
amendment was offered to the bill.

NATIONS FOR PEACE
ARBITRATION TREATIES ARE
SIGNED BY UNITED STATES,
FRANCE AND BRITAIN.
PRESIDENT TAFT is VICTOR
compaets Result From Suggestion of
United States Chief Executive
Made In Speech Made in Wash
Inaton Last December.

Washington.-Three of the great
world powers have taken long
stride toward the goal of universal
peace. Arbitration treaties binding
the United States and Great Britain
and France, respectively, were signed
at the White House in Washington in
the presence of a notable gathering
OF officials and at the ministry of for.
eign affairs in Paris.
Secretary of State Knox signed the
two treaties in behalf of the United
States. James Bryce, the British am.
bassador, affixed his signature in be-
half Of Great Britain, thus completing
the Anglo-American pact, with the ex.
ception of ratification by the senate.
The French treaty was signed in
duplicate in Paris six hours earlier
by ]. ]. Jusserand, ambassador to the
United States.
AS soon as the copies of the two
treaties had been signed President
Taft affixed his signature to two
measures for transmittal to the senate.
~ WAC NhOu6hI dJ ulbI Ildl dIl ca"
change on the Franco-American treaty
would be necessary before it could
be sent to the senate. Later on Off
cial notification from Paris of the
signature there, President Taft de-
cided to rush the treaties at once to
the senate in the hope of securing ac-
ton at this session.
The general features of the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally justi
ciable shall be submitted to The
Hague, unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Sc
lected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justicable shall be re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry
composed of nationals of the two gov.
ernments, empowered to make recon-
mendations for their settlement.
Should the commission decide that
the dispute should be arbitrated, such
decision will be binding.
Before arbitration is resorted to,
even In cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscep-
tible of arbitration. the commission Of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with view Of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration.
The commission. at requestof either
government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for diplo-
matte settlement.
The convention grew directly out Of
President Taft's speech in Washing
ton, December IS last, before tho
American Society for the Judicial Set
tlement of international disputes, in
which he said:
III now we can negotiate and put
through a positive agreement with
some great nation to abide the ad.
5udication of an international arbitraI
court in every issue which cannot be
settled by negotiation, no matter what
1t involves, whether honor territory,
or money, we shall have made a long
step forward by demonstrating that it
Is possible for two nations at least
to establish, as between them, the
same system of due process of law
that exists between individuals under
government"
