REPUBLICANS HAVE
REASONS TO FEEL.
HOPEFUL--H|L
Chairman of National Com
mittee Speaks at Washing
ton Banquet-Members
Urged to Get Together

Washington, December 15-Although
the republican national committee will
not decide the question of whether It
shall call an extraordinary party conven-
tion until its formal meeting tomorrow,
many of the arguments for and against
such action were made tonight at a din
ner given to the committeeman by the
chairman, Charles d. Hilles In a speech
to the diners that preceded the discus
sion of the merits of the question, Mr.
Hilles outlined at length the matters
which the committee, and a convention
if called, will be asked to settle, gave
some of the arguments on each side and
declared that in any event the republican
party should get together.
This conference" he said, 'is not a
council of despair. Republicans have
every reason to feel hopeful"
The national chairman did not disclose
his personal views on the advisability of
an extraordinary convention, but called
upon other committeeman to debate it's
merits.
I'm order that we may again triumph y
said he we must have some motive
other than desire to win. For the sake
of mere success at the polls we must not
discard or undermine the sound prin-
ciples which our predecessors thought
ought and fought and wrought out We
are the trustees of the republican party
fact which should inspire in us a sense
of cogent responsibility. Republicans and
former republicans can go very far in a
protocol of union If a surrender of prin-
ciples is not involved. We will not en-
brace theories of government that are de-
structive of all that we hold essential to
the maintenance of liberty regulated by
law"
Mr.. Hilles referred to the meeting of the
national committee as abnormal" but
directed by the executive committee and
warranted by conditions.
He announced that five important ques-
tions to be decided by the committee to-
morrow involved the recognition of state
laws as to the manner of choosing dele
gates; minimizing the number of contests
for seats in conventions; terminating the
tenure of committeeman automatically
upon the election of their successors; the
creation of a new tribunal to hear con-
testants, and changing the basis of rep
resentation.

Montgomery, December 15.-(Special)
Argument in the special counsel fee case,
which questions the eonstltutionality of
an amendment to section sol of the code,
will be heard by the supreme court to-
morrow. The case was appealed from
the Montgomery city court, where 1t was
decided that the governor was without au-
thority to employ special counsel under
the act in question
The case was instituted by Daniel W.
Troy, special counsel for the governor in
the collection of foreign corporation fees
in the form of petition for a mandamus
to compel Auditor c. Brooks Smith to
draw his warrant for $125 on the COVER
nor's certificate for the amount. The
auditor declined to draw his warrant for
that amount because the Question had
arisen as to the constitutionality of the
act
A number OF lawyers have been EN-
ployed as special counsel and have been
paid under the statute which is now
being questioned. The auditors reports
show that to date there has been ex-
pended on the governors certificates the
sum of s41 ,149. OF this amount about

SHERIFFS TO TRY
TO STARVE MEXICAN
Sheriffs After Ralph Lopez Seal Up
Mine and Again Adopt Wait
ing Game

Bingham, Utah, December 15.-With all
the upper workings of the Utah-Apex
mine sealed up with bulkheads, the pur-
suit of Ralph Lopez settled down to a
waiting game again today. The sheriffs
look for no developments until the mine
is opened, which will be after they are
convinced Lopez has died from starva-
ton or committed suicide.
Every part of the mine except the
Andy and Minnie levels was searched
before being sealed up. The lowest levels
were left open and in these restricted
mining operations are being carried on.
Letters from all parts of the United
States and from Canada and Mexico pur-
porting to be from Lopez have been re-
ceived by the sheriffs. One received today
from Vancouver, B. c. bore a striking
likeness to his handwriting.

There are Oriental bordure stuffs

translated by way Of the old Jouy

Even where the Oriental idea is
lost, brilliant color is frequently used,

exploited. Partisan dressmakers and
milliners revel in this sort of thing,
but such revels are dangerous for the

FLOWERS FASTENED TO FAN
Bunch of "Futurist" Blossoms Just
Now in Such Favor.

A new place has been found for the
distinctive bunch of futurist flowers.
They have been used at the corsage,
gu the hat, at the belt and on the
neck ruff Behold them now fastened
pertly to net, lace or ivory fan. They
are effective, too, the gaudy, stiff flow
ers, against the dainty white fan.
They are generally caught about the
stems to the outside stick of the fan,
and one of the flowers Is fastened Sc
curely in place farther along the stick.
Arranged in this manner they do not
interfere with the opening and shut
ting of the fan.
The woman who can use paint
brush can make a futurist fan Of
different sort by decorating a net or
lace fan with spots and blotches or
brilliant color, cerise, orange, purple
and bright green, in oil paints. Such
a fan, further trimmed with a bunch
of flowers emphasizing the colors al
ready used, is worth possessing.

For a Wedding Breakfast.

To arrange a simple and yet dainty
table decoration for a home wedding
breakfast take a shallow silvered bas-
ket and fill with lilies Of the valley
and delicate ferns and a few pink
rosebuds Place this basket on cir
cular mirror in the center Of the table
and conceal the frame with wreath
of ferns, lilies and pink rosebud
here and there.
Lay at each table a small bunch oil
lilies Of the valley with one pink
rosebud tied together with silver
gauze. Mark the brides place with
a wreath of pink rosebuds and ferns,
and one can be tilted to the back OF
her chair with silver gauze. At each
plate put small silver baskets filled
with pink and white sweets. Use
pink candles in silver candlesticks,
with white shades decorated with 9
wreath of pink silk rosebuds.

Shaded Effects.

At college dance recently given in
the college theater every one mar
veled at the pretty girls. the fine
looking men and the general air OF
happiness and enjoyment that prevail
ed. other dances given in the same
room had been successful, but there
had always been a sort of barnl1ke
atmosphere which no amount Of gay
ETY. could dispel. One Of the members
of the committee explained the
change. The girls on the comittee. six
of them, had bought several rolls of
deep pink crepe paper, ball of twine
and some pins. On the tops of STEP
ladders and chairs they had made and
fastened on ruffled paper shades over
every electric bulb in the room. The
result, for which the dancers could
find no reason, was an air of festivity
which every one noted. 1t was all
due to the soft yellow pink light.

WESTERN CANADA MAKING RE.
