CITY LIGHT ISSUE
NOT YET SETTLED
WeISbaCh People May Yet Com
pete With Ind. & Mich. Along
BouIeVardS and Dark Places
Agent Here.

Reopening of the city lighting prob
lem promises to occupy the attention
of the board of public works in the
near future, with the return to South
Bend 'of r. W. Bingham, agent of the
Welshbach St. Lighting Co, of Chi
cago, who wants to install a number
of Welsbach lights in dark places. Fol-
lowing a conference with Pres. Z. NJ.
Morris of the board, the posts on w.
Colfax av. and S. Main St, are to be
re-equipped with mantels, and the gas
again turned on for demonstration
purposes.
1t develops that the contract made
with the Indiana & Michigan Electric
Co. for electricity, only calls for 400
lights, while the city lighting requires
coo. according to the board. This
leaves an opening for 200 gas lights,
should the board see fl to install them.
The Welsbach system is being particu-
iarly urged for boulevard lighting and
for shady sections Of streets, where
the trees limit the reflections from
electric arc lights TO small sections.
The bids submitted by the Welsbach
people. at the time the electric con-
tract was submitted, would admit Of
about ID gas lights at the expense
Of one electric light. The rate was
S24 for the gas lights as against $50. .
for overhead. and $72 for under
ground electric lights. Most Of the
gas lights being advocated would come
within the underground district,
where three could be installed TO one
Of electricity
Mayor Keller, Monday in speaking
Of the matter. suggested that competi-
tive lights after such manner, would
Oe competition for efficiency as we'll as
Tor financial saving. The two lights,
Of gas and electricity, in close prOxin1-
ity. would encourage both 10 maintain
q high standard OF light" he says
"and by putting the gas lights in the
underground district il would leave
the electric lights used mostly Of the
over rate"
The Welsbach people claim a large
patronage in many Of the larger cities
Of the country, especially IN boulevard
and park lighting, counting among
them New York city. Chicago. Boston.
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and st. Louis.

COUNTESS BERNsToRFF.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Alyn Will
liams, the noted English miniature
painter, has selected the eight women
Washington society. They are: Ma
dame Havenith. wife of the Belgian
minister; Countess Ton Bernstorff,
wife Of the German ambassador; Ma
dame Naon, wife OF the Argentine
minister; Miss Genevieve Bauchamp
Clark Miss Gladys Hinckley, Mrs.
Peter GOelet-Gerry, Mrs. Paul $.
Pearsall and Mrs. Bird Segel Mcclure.
Mr. Williams points out in each in
stance why he placed these women in
the national gallery of beauties. OF
Nine. Havenith, he said: 'She has
beautiful eyes and a we'll shaped head
which she carries beautifully"
The stately patrician air and regal
beauty Of Countess Won Bernstorff is
what won her a place, while of Miss
Genevieve Clark he enthusiastically
states:
Natural Intellectual piquant. in
quiring and unconventional. Her
face reflects a mind that intends to
do something"
Mrs. Peter Goelet-Gerry. who was
Miss Matilde Townsend. Mr.. Williams
calls the essentially aristOcratic type
with exquisite coloring and regular
features"
Mr.. Williams declares that the
blonde IS fascinating but not true.
THE most reliable type is the
brunei" he continues, "and the older
a man gets the more he appreciates
brunets. The blonde satisfies the eve.
but the brunei appeals more to the
soul of the mature man.

STORMY SCENES AS
PARLIAMENT OPENS
SuffragetS and Anti Home
Rulers Threaten to Raise
Merry Havoc.

LONDON, Feb. All Great Britain
is awaiting with intense interest the
opening of parliament Tuesday. The
session is regarded as one of the most
important in the history of the coun-
try.
Heavy forces of police will be on
duty in and around the parliament
buildings when the members meet to
take up the Home Rule bill and other
big measures that are to be settled.
LADDERS of the militants threatened to
inaugurate the greatest campaign of
violence that England has ever seen
because of the refusal Of the govern
ment leaders to consider any measure
for suffrage.
All the members Of the cabinet met
Monday at the residence Of Premier
Asquith to make the final arrange
ments for the opening of parliament
and the program to be followed. Later
in the day King George conferred with
Premier AsQuith. The final draft Of
the speech TO be delivered from the
throne at the latter meeting.
The speech will deal chiefly with
the Home Rule bill, but Will also refer
to the settlement OF Balkan affairs. the
proposed reformation OF the House OF
Lords naval estimates and other fl
nancial measures.
Upon the eve Of the great session
there was no indication that efforts for
compromise on the Home Rule bill
would be successful. John Redmond
declared that the measures giving Ire
land self government would be press
ed TO a successful conclusion despite
the threats Of revolt in Ulster.

POINT Of HONOR
BEFORE PLATFORM
President Says He is Firmly
Set Against Exemption of
CoaStWiSe Ships From Canal
Tolls.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 9.-That a
platform pledge cannot interfere with
the settlement Of an international
question involving a point OF honor
was the declaration made Monday by
Pres. Wilson in making clear his at
titude regarding Panama canal tolls
and the democratic platform which
declared in favor Of the exemption OF
American coastwise ships from the
payment OF tolls. His position is
firmly fixed against the exemption.
The president said that a change
OF circumstances over which the Unit
ed States has no control had changed
the situation since the Baltimore plat
form was adopted. This declaration
is interpreted TO mean that the British
protest has assumed a new phase
Pres. Wilson said. however, that he
has not discussed the Panama tolls
question with the British ambassador,
Sir Arthur Cecil Spring-Rice, and has
not taken up the question with the
British government since James Brice
left Washington.
The president stated that he had no
present plans OF sending a message TO
congress on the subject. believing
that the announcement OF his atti-
tude would be sufficient To get action
repeating the exemption az the pres
ent session OF congress. There is no
question that Pres. Wilson regards
the Panama tolls question as inter-re-
lated with the various foreign en-
tanglements in which the United
States now finds herself. and that he
is anxious 10 clear up the question be-
fore pressing the others for final So
luton.

A Washmood, who has a record be-
hind him that is of interest to many
now living in what was the Indian
Territory.
In 1904 Ben Collins, a dasIing
young Indian citizen, carrying a com
mission as United states Ceputy mar
shal, while in the performance of his
duty as such officer, shot ard severe
ly wounded Porte Irultt. Hrultt was
an intermarried citizen, having a
pretty and accomplished Chickasaw
for his wife. PIuitt came from a
wealthy family of pioneer cattlemen,
and for months his life was despaired
of. He partly recovered, but WAS
never able to walk after being shot
by Collins, and some time after died
from the effect of his wounds.
In the indictment of Washmood the
prosecution claimed that Pruitt had
hired Washmood and the notorious
Jim Miller, who was hanged, together
with four of his associates, by a mob
at Ada in 1909, to assassinate Ben
Collins. Jim Miller was known to be
hired killer, and one of the worst
men in the southwest, ready at any
and all times TO put a man out of
the way for a consideration, and it
was averred that Washmood acted as
agent for Miller in the prosecution of
his crimes.

the woods one night in 1907, and with

No Excesses countenaneed.
Officials here were greatly pleased
by Carranza's friendliness toward the
United States. They indicated that
while the American government would
have preferred peace conferences no
step will be taken by the United States
to interfere with the triumphant
progress of the revolution. The con-
