AND POLICIES
WILL Be THRESHED OUT
important Democratic Confer
ences Will Be Held This
Week.

Two important events in democfau6
politics are scheduled for this week. the
big harmony dinner in Baltimore to-
morrow night and the conference. of the
democratic members Of the House Thurs
day night. The democratic dinner prom
ises to bring together the largest as
| senrblage Of prominent politicians, rep
resenting all wings Of the party, in many
years.
Many of the guests will come to Wash
| ington to attend the conference Of demo-
cratic members-elect Of the next House
to discuss policies for the party In the
next Congress.
Proposed Tariff Revision.
! Nearly all of the democratic leaders
| favor the selection now Of the member
ship OF the ways and means committee,
| in beginning work on the tariff revision
program to which the democrats are
pledged The majority OF the commit
| tee intends to begin work at once, al
| though the republican minority OF the
committee probably will not be CHOSEN
until the new House is organized next
winter. This delay will not be handi-
| cap to the democrats, however, as they
intend to follow the custom Of excluding
| the minority from the committee during
the framing Of bill. just as the re-
publicans, when they were the majority
excluded the democrats until their bill
was ready to report.
New Ways and Means Committee.
The slate which seems to find favor
with most of the democratic leaders
gives the Craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee to Underwood OF Ala
bama, and disposes OF the remaining
places as follows: Peters of Massa.
chusetts, Harrison OF New York, Pal
mer of Pennsylvania, Dixon OF Indiana
James Of Kentucky, Hammond of Min
nesota, Hughes OF New Jersey. Shackle'
ford of Missouri, Ransdell Of Texas
Brantley Of Georgia, Kitchin OF NORTH
Carolina, Hull of Tennessee and Rainey
OF Illinois. The selections aside from
reasons of fitness, have been made
along geographical lines.
| The method Of selecting committees Il
not expected to be disposed OF without
a contest, although the deetai alton Is
freely made by many leaders that two
thirds of the democrats OF the next
House favor the selection by caucus Of
q committee on committees.

Text of Document Made Public at

BOSTON. January 16.-A statement
embodying six reasons why the Panama
canal should be neutralized bearing the
signatures of men and women prominent
in the United States and abroad, was
made public yesterday. Richard Olney.
former Secretary of State; David Starr

Faunce. president of Brown University;
Jane Adams of Hull House, Chicago;
George +. Holt, justice of the United
States district court, and George Foster
Peabody. the New York banker. are
among the sponsors Of the document. The
statement follows:
why the Panama canal should be
neutralized, not fortified:
- Because the canal would be safer
in wartime without fortification. Accord
ing to the agreement signed by The
Hague conference in 1901 unfortified coast
places cannot be bombarded
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-01-16
Fortifications Not intended.

Because the original intention of
our government. as distinctly expressed
in 1900. and previously, was to prohibit
fortiiications on the canal Though this
prohibition was omitted in the finally re-
vised Hay-Pauncefote treaty. signed in
1909, this in no wise implies that we
ought to fortify it. nor was its construc-
ton proposed as primarily q military
undertaking.
"3. Because, though the Suez canal
was built with English money. England
agreed to its naturalization. The Straits
Of Magellan are also neutralized and the
Interparliamentary Union in 1910 de-
clared in favor of the naturalization Of
all interoceanic waterways.
-. Because the United States in all
its history has never been attacked
and began every foreign war it ever
had. and is too important a customer
for any great nation at this late day to
wantOnly attack. Though an enemy
might in stress of war be tempted to
break it's pledge to US. no nation would
dare break its naturalization pledge
with the combined powers, as the pen
atty of non-intercourse, which could
be included in the general treaty,
would involve commercial ruin.

An Act of Insincerity.

%. Because, with the experience OF
nearly a century's peace with England.
insured by our undefended Canadian
border line. until we have asked for
complete arbitration treaties with all
possible future enemies and have been
refused. we should be insincere in in
creasing our war measures. This is
especially true in view of the facts
that since 1902 the nations have signed
100 arbitra ton treaties and President
Taft has made the impressive declara-
ton that he sees no reason why any
question whatever should not be arbi-
trated: that the second Hague confer
ence in various ways diminished the
likelihood Of war; that not only the
prize court but the court of arbitral
justice is practically assured, and that
in the summer of 1910 Congress unani-
mously passed a resolution asking the
President to appoint a commission of
five to consider the utilization Of exist
ing agencies to limit the ornaments of
the world by mutual agreement of the
nations apd to constitute the world
navies an International force for the
preservation of universal peace and to
consider other means to diminish eX-

es of the lighter sort are eminently de-
sirable for many purposes, as are the
clever limitations of them. Never has
the imitation or copying of real laces
reached such perfection as il has this
year, and it is often difficult even for
an expert TO distinguish some of the
machine-made reproductions from the
real thing.
The heavy filete. Venetians and
combinations are used upon the fill
miest of stuffs. and though guimps are
as rule exceedingly sheer. the breat
makers do not hesitate TO introduce
a guimpe of heavy lace when their
fancy suggests such a whim. The col
lars shown in the shops are worthy of
careful study this year and many of
might easily be duplicated. especially
as the importers show collars of lace
on embroidered muslin in a great var
iety of shapes. They also show col
lars of these materials so designed
that they may be separated into sec
tons and changed in shape or size
without impairing the design of en-
broidery or lace. Girdles, sashes, ja-
bots, guimpes, all these details are i'm
portant and one can obtain a host of
valuable hints aconcerning them from
the French model frocks in the var
ious fashionable shops.
AS was TO be expected, the tailored

very high in front, and among the

The skirts for these suits are still

this is true of the severity tailored
suits; semidressy models are also in
favor, however. Many of these are in
satin and some in surrah. The jac-
kets are from 20 to "a inches long,
and though many have been cut in box
effect, the raised waist line character.
| istic of the Empire styles is also in
evidence.
This Empire effect is gained in var.
ious ways. Sometimes the coat is cut
shortwaisted and is joined to pep
lum. Again, the front and back forms
are cut straigt, but the side forms
have a raised seam several inches
above the normal waist line. AS a
third variety, the Empire effect is
gained by the manipulation of trim
mings. Paris also favors Elton jackets

EADS AND FASHIONS

Except in the very dressiest suits,
skirts are Of walking length. Nearly
all the French suits are made with an
inside belt, / Il to inches wide,
which gives the raised waist line. The
few separate skirts shown are quite as
wide as we have ever known them, "a
to 21a yards at least, and of walking
length.
Peplum jackets are decidedly preva-
lent among the spring suit importa-
tons. from Paris. The French wo-
men have never taken kindly to our

considered too mannish. All sorts OF
Clever little ruses are used to intro
duce the individual and feminine note
in Partisan apparel, the present meth
cd being the peplum or skirted coat,
which may be long, short, plain or
fancy, according to the general style
of the suit. Many of the semi-tailored
models have the peplum attached to
the jacket from one to four inches
above the waist line. Often it is cut
to fit the figure. following the lines
of the plain coat. The reason of it's
popularity is that the suggested waist
line admits of many style develop
ments, such as buttons, braiding and
stitching. The peplum will be popu-
lar because it no more belongs to the
slim woman than ii does to the wo-
man Of embonpoint. though both may

that II gives touch Of individuality
