"Oh, You Beautiful Doll"
Bewdering Display of Dolls At Holy Innocents BazarOd
Fashioned Southern Barbecue Dinner Today
By CHARLES II. MANDY

Parents are sometimes at loss to Sc
lect a present for little Percy William.
but rarely experience the slightest diff
ficulty in selecting one for little Susan
Kate.
What a boy himself most desires his
parents are not always willing for him
to have. for his taste generally runs from
"sure-enough" pistols to a steam engine,
or one of those diabolical instruments
whose principal function is creating noise
and lots of 1t.
1t is not SO with a little girl: every
normal girl child the world over dotes
on a doll, and Furthermore, she dotes on
lots of them. When she becomes At
tached to them, which she invariably
does, they are to her an ever-constant
source of pleasure.
Give a boy a pair of skates or base
ball bat and for the nonce he is happy,
but he soon gets the habit of leaving
them just where his parents will stumble
over them in the dark, having found some
newer or to him more interesting play
thing But the little girl clings to her
dolly she takes a maternal pride in it,
and often where the morning sunlight
kissed the little dimpled face as she lies
asleep, she is found with her doll clasped
close to her breast. 1t seems to be just

as natural for little girl to take a doll
for plaything as it is for little boy
to catch hop-toads or to play hockey.
Just when girl loses her fondness for
dolls is as problematical as when a boy
loses his fondness for pie or a circus
When you hear a man say he does not
care anything for the circus himself but
he Is going Just to take the kids" it's a
safe bet that he is just as eager to see
the show as they are. So it is with the
girls. Why, yesterday, at the doll ba-
zar, given under the auspices of the Holy
lnnocents' Hospital, where a bewildering
display of dolls is on exhibition, many
of the girls present, some of them with
families, fondled the dolls and fairly went
into ecstasies over some charming bit of
waxwork, covered, or partially covered,
with the daintiest of lingerie. The chances
are that each one of them had slowed
away somewhere, a battered doll that
was nothing more than "a rag. bag, and
a wisp of hair but around which clung
the tenderest and fondest memories.
But of the dolls at the bazaar. You
never saw such a display in all your life,
and what is more, they represent a Won
derful amount of work cone by the ladies
interested, for every one was dressed in
prevailing styles from a gingham apron
to wedding gown, and every stitch was
done for Sweet charitys sake There
were a few dolls dressed "a la Septem-

Then, there are wonderfully constructed
dolls houses and elaborately furnished

in fact, all the accessories that go to COM

housekeeping. The dolls bazar is well
worth visit and those informed ON sucn
subjects state the prices are very mod

In addition to the bazar the ladies of
the several denominations are serving
dinner and a most elegant dinner ar
that Yesterday the ladies of the Pres
byterian church served bounteous re-
past of which the Thanksgiving bird was
the ''piece de resistance" Today the ladies'
of the Episcopal church will serve a
southern barbecue dinner. The Methodsts
ladies VIII serve tomorrow. But the best
part or 1t all is, that the entire proceeds
of the dinners and the bazar go to the
Holy Innocents hospital for the treatment
of the diseases of children. 1t is indeed
hard to conceive a more worthy cause.
Yesterday, through the kindness of Mr..
G. III. Nabb the ladies' orchestra from

SENATE AND HOUSE
HEAR FIRST ANNUAL
MESSAGE DELIVERED
Continued From Page one)


in their comments on the message and
its recommendations. They liked the
emphasis placed by the President on
the need for early action on the cur
rency, for dealing with monopoly
through antitrust legislation, the i'm
portance of rural credit legislation to
benefit the farmers, the recommenda-
tions for government construction of
railroads in Alaska, the development of
the nations resources by conserva-
ton policy alike acceptable to the
states and the federal authorities, the
enactment of employers liability legise
lation and the selection of presidential
candidates by the primary system.
The suggestion of the President that
party conventions as at present con-
stituted be abolished. won striking ap-
plause.
AS Mr. Wilson declared that the party
convention should be held only to ratify
the verdict of preference primaries;
that the personnel of the conventions
should, for the most part, be chosen
from those members of Congress and
congressional nominees upon whom
would devolve the duty of carrying out
platform pledges, there was wave of
hands clapping in which Secretary Bry-
an and members of the cabinet Joined.
FINE SPEECH, SAYS
SPEAKER CLARK
TT was q fine statesmanlike speech"
said Speaker Clark, afterwards, cover
ing points that 1 have been agitating
for years. particularly presidential pri-
maries."
II think" said Representative Oscar
w. Underwood, the Presidents message
was the address of a broad statesman
covering the scope of the necessary
legislative action for this session of
Congress 1t was in accord with the
principles and policies of our party as
declared at Baltimore and I have no
doubt 1t will meet with favorable ac-
tion by the House of Representatives"
For nearly all of. the Legislation out
lined in the message, the ground work
has been laid, and the President plans
to speak further to Congress with re-
lation to antitrust reforms Alaskan
railroad legislation now is before both
Houses; a workman's compensation act
has been favorably considered In each
house and bills on the other important
subjects are in a position to receive
immediate attentin.
The declaration for legislation to pro-
vide for primary elections for presi-
Dental nominees without the interven-
ton of nominating conventions bore
immediate fruit in the House. Repre-
sentative Rucker of Missouri, chairman
of the House committee on privileges
and elections. tonight began framing
a bill to cover all the Presidents sug-
gestions. He will introduce 1t immedi-
ately with a view to getting action by
his committee before the Christmas
holidays If possible. Interest in this
recommendation was manifested in
both houses. Several bills of this char
acter have been introduced in the SEN
ate and advocated on the floor by re-
publicans and progressives.

BELIEVED. MEXICAN
DESPERATE DEAD
Lopez, Shut In Mine, Is
Though to Have Sue
cumbed to Gases

Bingham, Utah, December mo sound
since last night has come from the Utah
Apex mine In which Ralph Lopez. Mexi-
can desperate, is confined. Today the
exits except that in the lowest level
were sealed with double bulkheads, and
tonight 1t was believed the gas filled
mine had become the fugitives tomb.
The watchfulness of seven sheriffs and
more than 200 deputies who expected a
break for liberty on the part of Lopez
was relaxed, although the number of
guards was not lessened. It was consid-
cred impossible for the Mexican to ap-
proach any of the exits without being
overcome.
The crowd of miners which has stood
awaiting vengeance since two of their
number were killed in the underground
battle on Saturday dispersed tonight.
They felt satisfied that the poisonous
fumes pouring into the mine since yes
terday had done their work. However.
the jaunty Mexican who killed a fei-
low countryman because of a woman's
favor and subsequently five peace Of
ficers may be alive, although this is
not a probability. His one chance for
some distant slope against the inva-
sion of the gases.
Gas Deadly
Before erecting the outer bulkhead
In the main tunnel late today six men
went to the inner bulkhead, 900 feet
from the mouth, to examine 1t. Short
ly afterward one of their number stag
gered out, overcome by the gas that
has leaked through the partition. Dep
NIT nd i,as ~
the other five, all of whom had dropped
within the tunnel. They were revived,
but 1t was striking testimony of the
deadliness of the gases that fill the
mine
The gases tonight were being gener-
ated only in the lowest level of the
mine Here various compositions were
being used in the smudges which were
kept burning directly beneath shafts
leading to the upper workings, where
Lopez took refuge last Thursday night
after eluding his pursuers in the open
for nearly a week.
Gunpowder Consumed
Thousands of pounds of wet gun
powder were consumed to generate
what is known and feared by miners
as 'black damp" Sulphur, coal, tar
formalide and black oil were the chief
ingredients used in addition.
Two hundred men are out of work
in the lower level as result of the
smudging operations. The operators are
said to be suffering a net loss of more
than $1,000 day. They announced, how
ever, they would gladly remain idle
month in order to bring about the
death of Lopez. The smudging will
continue for 12 hours more, perhaps
for "a hours. 1t is thought the deputies
will not be able to enter the mine be-
fore Friday night.
Thousands of persons today attend
ed the funeral of Deputy Tom Man
drich. who was shot by Lopez on Sat
urday. The feeling against the Mex
ican miners is strong and speakers ut
the funeral counselled those of other
nationalities to be law abiding.

FIRST FATALITY OF
TRANSFERS STRIKE

rests. Among those taken In custody
today was Henry Friedman, pronii-
nent labor and political leader and
wealthy. He was charged with inter-
fering with an officer. The cases of
all the persons arrested yesterday were
continued in police court today until
next Monday so that the arresting Of
ficers could appear.
A proposed parade of strikers did
not materialze. Mayor Wallace, as soon
as he heard of the plan, ordered the
police to stop any attempted demon
stration. The police kept the crowds
constantly on the move and did not
give the parade chance to form.
More Wagons Operating
According to employers of teamsters
more wagons were operating today
than yesterday. Thomas ]. Farrell, gen
eral organizer of the union, contends
that the union ranks are holding firm
and that more than 1000 men are still
out.
While food supplies are still plenti-
tul. as retail merchants anticipated the
strike and stocked up their stores
literally. the accumulation of garbage
is becoming serious question. No
garb bage had been collected in the city
Ssnce Saturday. One hotel notified the
ely board of health today that 1t had
100 barrels Of garbage on hand an
asked what to do with 1t. City SAM
tartan Herman Morgan has asked tina;
all residents sprinkle lime over the
garbage to prevent the possible out
break Of disease.
Fifty business men, with horses
were sworn in as the citizens cavalr,
today. They volunteered to assist tbs
mounted police. Thus far the regular
police have been able to handle this
situation without calling out the busi-
ness mems reserves, numbering more
than 700. who were sworn In Sunday
night and Monday.
An appeal for congressional investi.
cation into labor conditions, in Indian
apolis was teegraphed to United States
| Senators John w. Kern and b. F. Shive-
| ley tonight. The action was decided
upon at meeting Of the special com.
| mittee appointed by the Central Labor
| union to try to find peaceable solution
| for the teamsters' strike here. The mes
| sage was signed by F. r. Miller. vic'
| president, and L. A. Barth, secretar:
Of the Central Labor union.
