Make Junket Dress Affair.
Copenhagen, Jan. 5. No. Henry
Ford will not pay for new gowns for
certain Of the women peace delegates
who desires to make a brilliant show
ing at next weeks conference at The
Hague.
CASTOR Plaintiff. New York auto
mobile manager for Ford and now in
charge OF the enterprise. SO informed
several women who put the question
to him yesterday. They must wear
the gowns they brought along on the
Oscar II. or stay in their hotels.
Plaintiff put his foot down on an
other suggestion yesterday. Several
delegates wanted to stay in Europe for
a while longer and wanted to know II
Ford would pay their way home any
time they wanted to go.
Plaintiff declared that delegates who
fail to sail with the main party on the
liner Rotterdam, Jan. IL, will pay their
own fares home.
It was learned that Nine. Schwim-
mer, Hungarian peace advocate, was
largely instrumental in obtaining per-
mission for the party to cross Germany
papers agree that this fact has
wrecked the last possibility that the
allies might look with favor on the
peace expedition
Stockholm is generally favored as
the seat for the permanent peace
tribunal Ford plans to establish. 1t is
understood Miss Jane Adams will be
one of the members.

Chicago Horse m arket.

Chicago. Jan. spa good. demand for
most grades Of offerings prevailed on
the horse line Tuesday and gave the
market fair tone. This followed the
better market Of Monday so that Of
ferings have been able to make a good
clearance SO far this week. Prices have
remained fully steady for offerings and
the broader demand has added tone to
the selling Of horses.
AS expected. the receipts are now
showing a good increase over last
week. while the shipping demand has
increased greatly, which helped ma
terially in effecting a clearance. Quail
ity of horses offered this week so far
is proving better than last week and
this fact is causing shippers to buy in
liberal numbers, as they are looking
for good grades Of horses. French in
spectors are working steadily on the
horses offered in the army class, but
during the past week or ten days there
has been only small number of army
type offerings on hand. ~ r. ST..
Receipts for the first two days of the
week total about 1000 head against
$50 for same days last week, 1858 a

years ago. ---HE
