Wilson's CORONATION GOWN. . New Queen of Hungary Plans Elab- orate Apparel. London, Dec. 27.—A dispatch to the ' Exchange Telegraph from Amsterdam . .says preparations for the Hungarian coronation are almost completed and that the indications are the ceremony will be carried out with all the pomp of the days before the war. “The dress of Empress Zita,” says ! ¥the correspondent, “is ready. It is of | white satin covered with golden orna- ments, after the model of the robes worn by the Hungarian Queens at all coronation celebrations. It sents the efforts of fifty workers, who | devoted fourteen days in making It | at a cost of 50,000 kronen. The dress | will be handed to the Queen by a deputation headed by the Archduchess Augusta. “On the ground that the corona- tion should not be celebrated lavishly w In such times of stress, the Croatian | Oppositlon Party, according to a dis- patch from Agram, has declined the official invitation to the ceremony re- ceived by the Croatian Diet. Dr. Pa- velio, leader of the Opposition, mally declined the invitation in the name of the three opposition parties and the members of the Opposition then left the House.” LS METHODIST COMMISSION MEETS. Southern Church to Consider ‘With Other Branch. Baltimore, Dec. Methodist members of the joint com- ion on Union with the Methodist Episcopal church met here today for organization. Bishop Warren Cand- ler of Atlanta was selected as chair- man, succeeding the late Bishop A. W. ‘Wilson of Baltimore s The joint commission will begin its deliberations here tomorrow in an ef- fort to agree upon a definite basis of co-operate union of the two bodies, representing more than members, The meeting of the commission regarded as ranking almost with the Baltimore Christmas conference 1704 at which American Methodism was born. If the commission agrees upon a plan of union it will be submitted to the general conferences, then to the annual conferences and finally to the individual congregations. + BIBLE STUDENTS GATHER.

Delegates are present from many sections and numerous addresses by Biblical schol- ars were on the program.

Conceding seats to candidates in possession of certificates of election, because they are certain to participate in the organization of the house, the personnel now stands: republicans | 214, democrats 213, independents 2, {eprogressives 2, prohibitionists 1, so- | cialist 1, contested 2. A majority is 218, | hence, should either democrats or re- publicans win both of the contests, they still would be short of a majority. All of the independents are main- taining strict silence regarding their attitude on the speakership, but the democratic and republican leaders i are agreed on how most of them will vote, provided caucuses are held and solidarity maintained by the two old parties. Kelly of Pennsylvania, a Progres- sive, who formerly was a democratic member of the house, is listed as a democratic probability. So is Ran- dall, prohibitionist, of California, who voted for Speaker Clark the last time, and London of New York, socialist, sits on the democratic side now and however, the “liberal” element should show its ability to control the situa- tion, it is felt that Mr. Mann will have to adopt certain liberal polic or be eliminated from consideration. Re- vision and liberalization of the rules will be discussed at the conference. TAKING TORNADO’S TOLL Score May Have Lost Lives in Central Arkansas—Negro Settlement Wiped Out—Fears For Convict Farm. Little Rock, Dec. 27. day from Central Arkansas which was swept by a tornado yesterday, show that ten persons are said to be dead and a score of others may have lost their lives. Of the known dead, five are white and fivo negroes. Wire com- munication with parts of the district swept by the storm has been cut off and it may be a day or two before the exact number of dead is known and the property loss established. Much apprehension was felt here today regarding the fate of the state convict farm at Tucker, southeast of this place, where 325 state prisoners were'at work. The farm was believed to have been directly in the storm'’s path and all wire communication with it was lost when the tornado first de- scended. J. R. Burkett, warden of the state penitentiary here, is on his way to the farm with a strong detachment of guards. Passengers arriving here today brought further reports of the wiping out of a negro settlement at Keo, be- tween here and Tucket with a loss of seventeen lives. The tornado struck the ground a few miles north of Pine Bluff and, cutting a path four miles wide, @ sumed a northeasterly course and fi- nally wore out itself in the vicinity of Duvall Bluff. Many homes were set on fire hy the Reports to- has received favors from democratic leaders. Schall of Minnesota, progressive, the leaders agree, probably would lean to- ward a republican candidate if con- vinced of his progressivism. He cam- paigned for the republican national ticket during the last campaign, al though opposed by the regular organ- ization in his state. Fuller, independ- ent, of Massachusetts also is classed as a republican hope. Martin of Louisiana, progr e, comes from a large sugar district in Louisiana, and has indicated that as- surance of protection of the sugar in- terests will be his first concern in vot- ing on the organization. He formerly was a democrat, however, and demo- cratic leaders hope to get his vote. At the same time, republicans think he can be convinced that their party is the only one which has his sugar in- terests at heart. Contests in which certificates have not been issued are in the thirty- second Pennsylvania district, where Representative Barchfeld, republican, is contesting the election of Guy E. Campbell, democrat, who on the face of the returns won By forty-si and the third New - Jersey district, where Representative Scully, demo- crat, is opposing the election of Rob- ert Carson, republican. Scully now is reported have a lead of 1 votes on the recount but there still arc about 3,000 votes to be passed upon by the courts. At least twenty seats, it is said, 1 be contested in the House after it has organized. Should the republicans seat both of their contestants and hold their mem- bership solid for their candidate, they would need only two independent votes to win the speakership, while the democrats would need five. On the other hand, should the democrats win the contested seats, the republicans would need four independent votes while the democrats could win with three votes. Dissension in G. O. P. Ranks. There no question about the democrats voting solidly for Speaker Clark, but there are some signs of strife among the republicans. Repre- | sentative Gardner already has an- i nounced his opposition to Represen- | tative Mann for speaker. Every effort | will be made by leaders, however, to have the solid support of republicans | assured in conference before voting | starts. Representative Gardner, who an- | nounced that he would seek to obtain | & republican conference to “formulate policies” for the future activity of the | party in the House, did not visit the | capitol yesterday. Mr. Mann was there, however, and last night he ex- pressed the view that the republicans would stand united at least in the or- ganization of the House. “I have nothing to say about the | speakership matter or the Gardner | episode,” he said, “except that I still hope that the president in some way through God’s providence may aid in bringing about a peace which shall be lasting and permanent and provide for disarmament and the removal of | heavy burdens of military and nav- | a1 preparedness, and if I can in the | slightest degree assist to bring about such a result I would rather do that than to be speaker. “The charge of Mr. Gardner that | T am for Prussia and Prussianism is, of course, utterly untrue. I am for America first, last, and all the time, and do not take sides in the Europ- ean war. In Mr. Gardner’s opinion, that is my offense. “I suppose it is inevitable that in the present situation in regard to po- litical control of the house every man who gets a grouch will be tempted to bluster around and say that he will not play unless he can have his own | way. That is always one of the re- sults of a very narrow margin of votes. But in the end I think the re- | publicans will have the good sense to | get together and act a united party, | at least in the organization of the | hous Representative Lenroot of Wiscon- sin, whom Mr. Gardner says he will support for speaker, had no com- ment to make. Plans for h votes, to ving an early confer- ence of house republicans are yet in a purely formative stage, but it is d the supporters of both Mr. Mann nd Mr. Lenroot will attend. The main object of the conference will he to place the house organization under | the “liberal banner,” the Mann-Len- | | | | | lightning which attended the storm. JOFFRE RECOGNIZED. And All France Welcomes Revival of Marshal. Dec. , 4:45 a. m.—In ad- dition to a decree creating General Joffre a marshal of France, President Poincare has signed another revoking the decrees of Dec. 2, 1915, and Dec. 13, 1916. The first of these appoint- ed Marshal Joffre commander-in- chief of all the French forces, except those in the colonies and Morocco. The second said: General Joffre, commander-in-chief of the French forces, will act as tech- nical advisor to the government in all concerning the direction of the war. The high command, as now settled, consists of the war committee com- posed of Premier Briand, General H. Lautey, minister of war; Rear Admir- al Lackse, minister of marine; Al- bert Thomas, minister of national manufactures; Alexander Ribot, min- ister of finance, and President Poin- are. The duty of the minister of war s to notify the other ministers and commanding generals concerning the decisions of the committee and to take measures to insure their con- certed execution. In addition he is responsible for everything rning the preparation and malintenance of the nations military resources. There are two generals commanding, Gen. Nivelle of the armies of the north and northeast, who also assures a liaison with the allied stafts, and Gen. Sar- rail, of the army of the Orient, who, as already announced is no longer an- swerable to grand headquarters but directly to the minister’of war. The press and public are unanimous in welcoming the revival of the dig- nity of marshal in favor of Gen. Jof- fre. All agree he broke the German power for all time at the Marne and saved the capital of the country from humiliation. and despair. . Paris, cong PROF. BAILEY TO LECTURE.
