Another lad, answering the same

"By two civilian Commissioners
and an emergency commission"
Another one said: by everyone
except those who live here"

MD. VOTE TO
Be COUNTED
Not Fair to Fine Electoral Mes
senger, Says Vice Presi-
dent Marshall.

Maryland's electoral vote will be
counted.
Although it was presented in 9
"patched-up" form to Vice President
Marshall yesterday by William G
Albrecht, president of the Maryland
Electoral College, and Charles j.
(Buck) Taylor, secretary, it was ac-
cepted and will be counted with the
other electoral votes on February 10.
NOT FAIR, HE SAYS.
In explaining his opposition to fin
ing Taylor the 81 900 penalty for fall
ure to deliver the Maryland vote In
proper form and before Monday mid
night, the time limit required by law,
the Vice President stated that he did
not consider it, fair to impose on
those poor devils messengers who
failed to deliver on time their States
electoral vote) such fine when they
were merely the tools of some igno-
rant election officials"
Declaring further that IF he want
ed to be ugly, he could have causeu
much worry and trouble to election
officials," the President OF the Sen
ate said that "if the Republican lead
ers were better lawyers than polite
ians they would not have been guilty
of the most stupid and reprehensibie
blunders in submitting the electoral
returns of many of the states. MOI
only was Maryland's electoral vote
late in reaching Vice President Mar
shall, but so were those from North
Carolina, Indiana. Utah and oregon.
Marshall is from Indiana.
EXEMPT FROM FINE.
The Senate yesterday passed a res
olution introduced by Senator Smoot'
o. Utah, exempting the belated mes
sengers from the 81 900 fine, Which
also provides for their mileage TO
Washington. Under the present law.
the messengers who failed TO deliver the
electoral vote in proper form and on
time are liable to the $1,000 fine and
deprivation of the mileage. The
House will pass on the resolution to-
day. 1t is expected 1T will be enacted
into law.
There is still a chance. however.
that a suit will grow out of the meet
ing of the Maryland Electoral Col
lege on January 10, at Annapolis.
James w. Owens, Annapolis citizen
and former secretary to the Demo-
cratic Electoral College, who had
been pressed into service as assistant
to Taylor when the Republican cleo
tors met, has threatened to sue two
members of the latter college for
$50.
FAY NOT RECEIVED.
Mr.. owens declared this morning
that he had not received tho 800
which the Republican electors prem
Used him for his services. In addition.
he said that the electors borrowed
a stenographer from his office and
that just before adjournment one OF
them told her (the stenographe-) he
had some work for her to do. would
return with 1t and pay her thea. Mr.
Owens said the electors didn't return,
so the stenographer wasn't paid.

designed entirely for outdoor games

that are bright and decorative. The
practical note that has been brought
into even these bright-hued things is
really surprising.

at all necessary in their frocks to
follow any one silhouette. While
the preference is for the slim,
straight-line things, wide-skirted
models are worn. Lanvin, who ca

strongly for Goya effects. 1t might
be we'll to describe some Of the
fuller skirted models, as many young
women prefer this type.

Partisan FrOCks for the Sub-DeI
Showers Of Jewels

NNE might suppose that after
the continued craze for the
wearing Of so much jewelry
there would be reaction. But this
reaction has not come. The vogue for
a great deal of jewelry does not fit in
with the present-day standards Of
dress, which are of the simplest. It
would appear that the love of bar
barrie ornamentation of the cave !
woman must find expression to-day
as it did long ago. Jewelry, both
with the Parisienne and the American
woman, becomes more and more
elaborate and an increasing number
Of pieces are worn at one time.
The demand for novelties of all
sorts as well as for jewelry still is
great. 1t seems that no piece Of
jewelry can be too fantastic to find
favor. The snake design still con-
tinues very fashionable. The new
est snake bracelets are made of dia-
monds and colored enamel. It is
considered smart to wear a set of
snake ornaments consisting of
bracelet and belt made of gold and
enamel, or the belt may be made en-
tirely of gold.
Beautiful necklaces also are shown
in this same form composed entire
ly OF diamonds with a huge diamond
pendant suspended from the snakes
mouth. The necklaces and bracelets
are very flexible.
Novel Leather Purses
In Striking Colors
THE ideas exploited in purses are
legion, not only in regard to the
shape, the size and the material but
the way in which different feathers
and silks are put together. Flat en-
velopes are made almost like small
writing cases. These may be of the
softest of feathers completely COW
cred with elaborate silk embroidery.
Both sides of the purse are alike.
Black and white combinations fro
quently are seen in this type of
purse; that is, the case NAV he n

Practical Models in

in THE panel on this page is
sketched an afternoon frock of
this type from Lucien Lelong, of
Paris. The material used is fine
blue serge trimmed with dark green
cloth. 1t is somewhat of depar-
ture from the straight-line dresses,
but withal welcome one, as it gives
variety to ones wardrobe. Further
more, it has none of the bizarre
touches so often seen in clothes that
are out of the ordinary. The blous-
ing waist is we'll suited to a slender,
girlish figure.
