PROBABLY AFRAID.
Raymond Verani Pays a Fine Rather
Than ImpliCate Woman.

Raymond Verani, charged with hav-
ing beaten Remigia Peralta in a down
town restaurant, and who had entered
a plea Of not guilty yesterday morning
withdrew his plea, entered one Of guilty
and was sentenced to pay a fine of S25
or serve twenty-five days in the County
Jail.
While the defendant refused to make
any statement duplicating the woman
the facts are well understood by the
police and court officials The Peralta
woman has a violent temper. and is said
to have been in serious trouble before
For about two years she has lived with
Verani as his wife, and when the two
met in the restaurant it is understood
that the woman drew a hat pin and did
all in her power to stab Verani to the
heart. In self-defense he knocked her
down.
In speaking of the matter after court
had adjourned, Judge Davis stated
that had the case come to trial Verani
would probably have been discharged.

THE conditions obtaining in my coun-

INDIGNANT RAILROAD MEN.
They Resent the Imputation That They
Are COerCed.
The Denial VIII be Publicly Pro-
claimed at Saturdays
Meeting.

The wage-earners in the railroad
shops in this city are up in arms.
Some malicious persons have been in
dustriOusly circulating report that the
railroad employees had been "coerced'
Into organizing Mckinley, Johnson,
protection and sound money clubs and
into parading in Republican demonstra-
tions.
No viler slander was ever uttered
against manly, independent, American
citizens than this, and those who have
been engaged in the work have made
no votes for their double headed party
by indulging in it.
Last evening there was a meeting|it
might be called an Indignation meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Consolidated Railroad Employees Sound
Money Clubs. These clubs are COM
posed of men who are fighting for their
best interests and those of their families
They know that only by protection to
home industries, the maintenance OF
fair wages and honest money for their
work can they hope to live like men and
support their families. Hence these
men could not rest under the imputation
that the position they had taken in this
campaign was the result of coercion and
one in which they are not honestly en-
gagged.
The meeting of the Executive Commit
tee was presided over by Chairman F..
l.. Requin, assisted by Vice-President
Charles Joy, Secretary D. J. Davis and
Treasurer c. NJ. Trouby. The several
clubs We're represented by the following
named well-known citizens:
Rolling Mill, Duncan Grant; Black
smith Shop, John McCaslin; Foundry,
Richard Fountain; Car Shop, No. ., r.
Halves; Boiler Shop, John West; Round
House, J. S. Clark; Machine Shop, JAS
Camp; Paint Shop, M. L. Jenkins; Cabl-
net Shop, L. w. Grothen; Shipping De-
pot, J. Norris; Car Machine Shop, Ben
Miller; Saw Mill, George Gray; Car
Shop, No. 3, E. Dundas.
It was a very enthusiastic gathering
and the deepest interest was mani
tested by all present.
After there had been a thorough dis
cussion of the subject on Which the
meeting had been called to take action,
1t was resolved as the sense of the com
mittee that person be selected to pub
licly repudiate, at next Saturday 5
meeting in the Old Pavilion, the charge
that the railroad employees had been
coerced or improperly influenced against
their convictions into voting for the Re
publican nominees. organizing clubs, or
appearing in Republican parades.
1t was also resolved that committee
be selected to frame an address to the
voters in the employ of the railroad COM
pany on the Importance of the issues
involved in the present campaign and
pointing out how the interests of wage
earners will be affected by the result OF
the election.
1t was expressed as the sense Of the
meeting that George G. McMullen was
the choice of the committee for Grand
Marshal of the parade on next Saturday
evening and that Thomas Warmly
representing the railroad shopmen, act
in conjunction with him.
The committee will hold another meet
ing on Friday evening to make final ar
rangements for the clubs participation
in the Saturday night parade.

MorHERLEss INSTITUTIONS.

Harriet Taylor UptonD
In most states In this union women
cannot be appointed trustees Of public
institutions, because such trustees
must be electors.
There have been men who kept house
for themselves or had only men ser
wants in their bachelor quarters, and
yet neither they. nor their friends ever
thought OF these houses or fats as
homes: men have kept house but they
never have made homes. Women are
the home-makers and home-keepers
This characteristic OF woman Is Just
as important In the state as In the
family. Men would think It a grave
error II no one but women served on
the board OF trustees OF soldiers homes
II only women were physicians in. and
superlntendents OF such homes. The
writer smiles as she imagines what a
furore would be created u all public
institutions should suddenly be taken
out OF mems hands and put into wom-
ems. No woman would want such
thing to happen.
The writer believes that all public
institutions. schools, Libraries, lunatic
asylums. soldiers homes, etc, should
have women trustees. directors. or
whatever the term may be. for
such officers but she is little
more radical than many women. How
ever she cannot see how any woman
cun cease from making effort 10 have
women trustees on boards Of all public
institutions, where women and children
live. whether II is n lunatic asylum or
children's home, A most pitiable
sight is number OF motherless chill
dren. whose father alone is trying TO
plan for their future. Yet just such
man who knows that some woman must
help him oGt with his family cares,
does not seem to think that the prin-
ciple applies as well to the state.
In many states women have besieg-
ed legislatures until boards OF visitors
nave been appointed These boards,
however, have neither responsibility
nor authority. They visit the institu-
tion when they are expected and must
report or make suggestions in writing
to the trustees The trustees need take
no notice OF such report. They occupy
about such position as formal caller
would TO the motherless family above
mentioned. Such a caller might be
sympathetic and interested but her
help would be OF little value because of
the relation she bore to the family. The
writer doubts II a board of visitors
does any good except to accustom men
TO seeing women about such institutions
and to accustom women TO serve on
such boards
The time is surely coming when wom-
en- and men will serve together as trus-
tees, then will all the details Of the
home be understood by all the members
of the board, Then will womans ten
derness, her mother heart be felt, then
will many unfortunate women and chill
dren be happier and healthier Then
will the state find that the small econ
omies which women practice in the
home will be practiced in the state,
