NEW YORK, Nov. 19-In an interview,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton said, regarding
the new steps she would wish to see
women take in their progress toward re-
form and equality.
''Eirst we must see that the canon
laws, Mosaic code, scriptures, prayer
books and liturgies be p1rged of all in
vidous distinctions of sex, of all false
teachings as to woman's origin, charac-
ter and destiny.
Second, we must demand an equal

ness matters, aud in the synods.

Third, We must insist that all un-
worthy reflection on the sacred character
of the mother of the race, such as the
alIegory of her creation and fall, and
Paups assumption as to her social status,
be expunged from our church itera-
ture. Such sentiments cannot inspire
the rising generations with respect for
their mothers.
Fourth, we must demand that the
pulpit be no longer desecrated with men
who read these invidious passages of
scripture and preach from texts that
teach the subordination of one half the
human race to the other"

HE MAY DIE.
Richard De Barrows Slayer of
j. d. Ross,
Probably Fatally Hurt on the
Union Pacific Track
WHILE HE IS AT WORK
On a Section Car Near Ross
vile.
An Engine Strikes the Car
Wrecking 1t.

Fate seems to have marked Richard
De Barrows, the slayer of J. D. Ross. He
was yesterday probably fatally injured
while working as a section hand on the
Union Pacific railroad in this county.
The trial of De Barrows is fresh in
the minds of nearly every one in To-
peka. He killed Ross on the Fourth of
July while the latter was trying to eject
him from house on the Mulvane ranch
near Rossvilie. The sympathy of the
community was with De BArrow5 be-
cause it was supposed that he killed
Ross in defending his home and family.
On this plea the jury brought in YER
dict of not guilty and De Barrows was
released.
The trial occurred early in the present
term OF the district court and was made
more interesting because a special at
tempt was made to convict him, and Dav
i'd Overmyer was employed to assist the
county attorney.
After his acquittal De Barrows went
back TO Rossville. He made an attempt
to get work in the Santa Fe shops
but failed, and then began
work as section hand between
Topeka and Rossville. Though
he wept often during his trial, after
said that he would do the same thing
again if an opportunity offered
The section force was on their way to
work when the accident occurred. De
Barrows was riding with the rest of the
men on the section car between Ross
Will and Kingville where there is deep
cut.
Just at the time the men were coming
from out the steep embankment they be-
held the engine of a rapidly approach
ing stock train shoot around tho curve
only few yards away. The engineer
blew the whistle and yelled. The section
| hands jumped from the car and endeav-
ored to lift it from the Track. but the en-
CINE was TOO near upon them. In an
instant it struck The Car, com oletelY de-
molishing it.
De Barrows was struck and thrown
several feet to the right OF the track. He
was picked up in an unconscious condi-
ton The skin was torn from his thighs,
his right knee was unjointed and it is
feared he has internal injuries from
which he will never recover. Charley
Roskins and Rule Walters. two others of
the section hands, received slight in
! jures.
De Barrows, who was the only one of
the men seriously injured. was put on a
passenger train and taken to Kansas
City and placed in a hospital. He was
| able to tell how the accident occurred
but the physicians say that the internal
injuries he received will probably re-
suit fatally.
De Barrows is Portuguese and is of a
rather low order of intelligence. He is
married and his family lives at Rossville.

WON'T ASK AS A FAVOR
Tho U. s. VIII Not Ask Walters ReIease
as an Ao6 of Grace.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19.-It is not true
as has, been stated in dispatches sent
from Washington that the United States
government has indicated "a purpose of
asking the release as an act of grace of
ex-Consul Waller.
On the contrary the state department
has refrained thus far from acting on an
intimation from France that the prison
of comfy, provided Waller surrender all
claim for indemnity for false imprison-
ment
This proposition has been submitted
by the state department 10 the family
and attorneys of Mr. Waller and they are
considering the advisability of submit
ting it to Waller himself
Regarding the matter as one entirely
personal to Waller and taking the pre-
carious condition of his health Into oon-
sideration the attorneys agree that he
should have an opportunity to decide
whether to accept release upon such
conditions. Mrs. Waller has advised
against the course.
Il is understood that the terms sug-
gested bear no relation to Walters NADIA
gascar land claim. 1t is also understood
that France persists in Withholding the
material part of the report in the Waller
court-martial which has been demanded
by the government.
The French government takes the po-
sition that the United States has no righ
TO make demand for the document, but
has intimated that nevertheless it would
be furnished upon friendly request
for it.

The streets are covered with over
three inches of mixed mud and snow;
street traffic in the city is hampered, and
pedestrians are having terrible time.
Telegrdphic and telephone wires are
covered with a mass of slush and are
swollen to four times their usual size.
As a result of this storm telegraphic
communication with the northwest and
many points west is seriously interrupt
ed, wires having been broken and in
some places pulled down by the strain.
Trains are delayed on several railroads
west and north, the storm having been
most unexpected and of such a nature as
to render the pulling of heavy loads very

then quickly disappeared. This is the

B. 7. Lewis Tells About Mr..
Ripley Whom He Knows.

CHICAGO. Nov. IA special to a
morning paper from New York says:
w. II. Rossingtou of the Santa Fe road
who is at the Holland house said nothing
had been definitely settled in regard to
the presidency of the road.
The company has been organized
under the laws OF Kansas and the char
ter gives the incorporation thes right TO
choose board of directors, which will
elect the president and other officers.
The incorporators viii meet this after
noon in the Mutual Life building in this
city and choose a board of directors,
which will in all probability at once elect
a president.
As TO the choice of a president, he
thought it would not be for the interest
OF the company to select man who is
unfamiliar with 9,400 miles of road,
which he will have to conIrJl
That objection applies directly to Mr.
Ripley it is said. Asked who would
probably be elected president he au-
swered that he could not tell, though he
had no objection to naming the man of
his preference. that man he said is D. B.
Robinson, the resent vice president,
aud he added ne believed MIR. Robinson
was also the preference of all the west
ern men who will have a voice in the
matter.
