ALEXANDER IN
 DYING CONDITION Slayer of J. P. Kelly Re- ported Near Death in Pu-
 laski County Jail.
IS ORDERED REMOVED
Sheriff Brewster Will Take Some Steps Today to Move Him-At-
 tOrney May Act.

w. c. Alexander, slayer of J. P Kelly, a popular Cotton Belt. em- ploye, whose death sentence was stayed until June 30 by former Gov ernor George w. Donaghey, is dying in the Pulaski county jail at Little Rock This information was receiv- ed by Sheriff Edgar Brewster yester- day from Sheriff w. G. "Bill' Hutton and the Jefferson county sheriff was asked to. make some arrangements whereby Alexander could be taken from the Pulaski prison before the end came. Sheriff Brewster does not know what to do with Alexander, as it is impossible at this time for him to bring him back to the county jail here and the state authorities will not receive him for safe keeping at the state penitentiary.
 It is likely that Attorney w. B. Sor- rells through whose efforts Alexan- der was saved from the gallows, will go to the capital today to mkae some arrangements whereby Alexander may be moved from the county jail and cared for elsewhere. It is not thought that Governor Robinson will enter tain any request to pardon him.
 Alexander was placed in the county jail at Little Rock on December 20, when Sheriff Brewster was requested by the state authorities to "take him back" from the state penitentiary, where he had been held for months, pending varidus Enquiries into his sanity. Since he was placed i'll the Pulaski jail Alexander has maintain ed that same silence and demeanor that characterized his confinement in the pne. He has walked the floor of dis cell constantly. His fingers have played with each other for hours and hours and he has never spoken word to fellow prisoner since he was declared insane by a jury in Pine Bluff many months ago. In re- cent weeks Alexander has refused to eat. Self starvation has gradually wrecked his weakened physical condi- tion and he is now lying helpless on cot in the jail cell. 1t was stated yesterday by Sheriff Hutton that Alexander could not live but few days longer. He suggested to Sher- if Brewste to remove him from his ia'l at the earliest possible time.
 Alexander cannot be taken to the state asylum, as is customary in ln- sanity cases, because he is still un- der death sentence and has never been adjudged insane by county court It would also remove legal proceedings against him for crime if he was incarcerated ill the state asy- lum as an insane patient.
 Sheriff Brewster will probably take some steps today 10 removed AleXan- der from the Pulaski county jail.

GRACEFUL, CONSERVATIVE
MODES ARE PREVAILING
suTN COLOR GREATER LATITUDE


{ for evening wear, but in dressy wraps,
and sports coats now frankly adopted
by the younger generation for almost
every occasion, vivid colors are of
not infrequent occurrence. We have
noted recently a number of evening
wraps made of plain-colored velour in
orange, green, bright blue and purple.
These are not trimmed in any way,
and are made high of neck, long of
sleeve, and of sufficient length to cover
the entire gown with the possible eX-
ception of the train, thus obviating
any clash of color between the cos
tune and the bright-hued coat.
One of the most artistic color
schemes which we have seen this sea
son appeared in the gown represented
in the first illustration. The costume
was of blue silk faille, with conven.
tional floral design in the new brick
red. The upper waist section was of

RY. COMMISSION
ISSUES ORDERS
STRUGGLED AT FOUR POINTS
IN STATE.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. Among the
most important business transacted
by the railroad commission yesterday
afternoon with the issuance of orders
for the construction of several depots,
or engagements of depots, at several
points.
The commission has ordered the H.
linois Central to put in a side track and
a freight shed at Boyett in Attala

work at the next meeting of the COM
mission, and it must be completed
within 30 days thereafter, or the road
will be subject to a fine of 800 a day
until the work is finished.

senger depot at Enondale in Kemper
county. Plans and specifications must
be filed at the next session of the COM
mission on october 90.

shoulders tapering to the extreme of
narrowness at the top. Many beauti-
full effects are seen in combination of
velvet and cloth with fur. This ap-
plies alike to wraps and to sets Of muff
and neckpiece.
Extreme elegance prevails in the ac-
cessories of the toilette. The scarf is
being revived for all purposes. A very
charming gown for a young girl, of
soft champagne-colored satin embroid-
cred in brown-andgold thread, had a
wide scarf three yards long to go with
1t, also embroidered in brown and gold,
and with a deep silk fringe at the ends
to give it weight. For the woman
who is naturally graceful the scarf
possesses delightful possibilities, as it
may be worn in so many different
ways, She may drape it to add height
to the figure, to give breadth to the
shoulders, or to contribute an indie
scribable touch of quaintness when
drawn close and crossed in front, after
the fashion of our grandmothers.
Another lovely scarf was made of
black marquisette, embroidered at the
ends with chenille in faded rose, pur-
pie and blue, and with a deep fringe
of jet silver.
Beaded trimmings are much in evil
dence, especially on evening gowns,
jet and pearl passementeries being in
the lead. Oriental headdresses, made
up of strings of pearls, with perhaps
an aigrette at the front or side, are
seen in the important shops.
Metal laces, especially in antique
patterns and furnished effects, are
used for tunics and bretelles The
most delightful little caps for evening
wear are fashioned of gold and silver
lace, plain and spangled tulle These |
serve to keep the couture in place, |
and are so airy that they need not be |
removed even at the theater.
