In remarking about the prevalence of facial hir-

“One would not have thought that the coming
of King C.eorge to the throne would have made
notch difference to the fashion of current hair-
dressing. In view of tlie fact that hla father wore

It ha*, and a very great difference at that.

quality of a voice. A harsh, high pitched voice

Commissioner Clements said he had
opposedlthe measure to regulate the
issuance, of securities because be did
not belipve It embodied all the feat-
ures such a law should have. He ob-
jected to the provision that uo new
road should be allowed to sell it*
stocks and bonds below pur. Home
new roads had to do this, he said, in
order lo obtain funds for construction
work.

Judson of Ht. Lout*. Frederick Hlrauss

ison, WIs., the other four members of
the commission, -were present. They
asked the members of the interstate
commerce commission whether the .
body had lltadtf plans for' a general *■
valuation of Hie property of all the
railroads. Mr. Clements said It had i
nol, but that experts could be em-
ployed who would be able to fix a
value that would give thlppej-s and
government authorities a basil tor the
defense or condemnation of rales. 1
The commission will not attempt to '
agree upon any plan for stock and i
bond control until it has discussed the
situation thoroughly with 4hw federal '

the western towns seemed to have much mure self-
importance than common sense. In Denver two
of the camera men were left behind when th«
colonel an.I hi* party went to the auditorium nnd
arrived to find that building packed lo the doors
an.I *urroun.le.| by it ring of mounted police. To
one of these they appealed In vain. “Rut we are
*up|x)*ed to be with Mr. Roosevelt'* party." said
one of them finally. “Well." *u the chilly re-
ft|H.nse, "If you are supposed to be with them, why
aren’t you?" And the otfic.-r'* horse scornfully
switched hi* tall In their faces.
It was In Denver, too. that one of the most
amusing scenes of the trip was witnessed The
Pres* club gave a "chuck-wagon" luncheon to the
colonel In a park "Here." satd the camera men.
“Is our chance for *oine good stuff ” they put
In fresh film* or plates and hustled oui there by
the dozen. The colonel. In the midst of a throng
of self invited Colorado deputy slit riffs, stood at
the rough board table and every time he reached
for a bit of meat or put a morsel of food 'Into hla
mouth there was a perfect fusillade of click* from
the camera* that surrounded him. The photog-
rapher* were ranged In a triple ring about tha
chuck wagon, those with little camera* In front,
stooping low; next, the men with the larger hand
cameras, and In the rear the local artists, who
had big machines on high tripod*. It waa In truth
n comical sight, hut the colonel did noi seem lo
mind It a bit, and went on eating and talking with
the utmost enthusiasm.
The visit to Cheyenne, of course, gave the *nap-
sholiera their best chances for picturesque view*,
for there the colonel could be caught almngt any
time shaking hands with the cowboys, cowgirls and
gaudily painted Indiana, or applauding the worli
of the broncho-busters.

One Man Survives Shock
the Explosion
Auilers. Okla.—Six hundred person* ■ t
were gathered ut the mouth of the
Jumbo mine*, twenty miles north of i
thl* city, Monday ufternoon, |lart of
them mourning for relatives who are
entombed In Ihe mine*, and part of
them working with might and main,
to recover the bodies from their 290-
foot grave. At 6 o'clock Monday af- ‘
ternoon the bodies were recovered,
and the greater part of the crowd
(li*per*ed. One tnan was taken out
alive. "
Nine men were entombed in the .
Mine-when an explosion w recked,It at
7:20 o'clock Monday inoming, and live
others, just starting down to work, i
were hurled 200 feet above tho abaft I
into the air, and came down mere
wreck* of humanity.
How the exploHlon occurred Is a
mystery. The only plausible expMie
at Ion is a combination of the forma- j
liou of gas anil a bad lamp, but no ,
danger from Mil* source ever had beeh 1
considered, -nnd runny claim to doubt !
