these onetwentieth or 10000 were females. These
were engaged chiefly In clothing factories. cotton

say that the woman mentioned Is either native
OF Spain OF Spanish parentage and not or

that in spite Of Miss Haisi's protests. which were
supposed TO be in fun some insisted on PIN
ming small American flag to her dress. She was
afterward seen to burn 1t over flame. and upon
being expostuated with said that she did II be-
cause she did not like the flag.
