THE APPALACHIAN PARK
BILL.

IT is not surprising that opposition
to the great Appalachian Park en-
terprise should have developed, but
it would be deplorable if the opposi-
ton should fail, or even prove
strong enough to delay this most
commendable movement.
It is said that the opposition
comes mainly from lumber interests
in western North Carolina.
One of the principal objects of the
proposed establishment of the park
is the preservation Of the timber at
the headwaters of many important
streams from indiscriminate cutting
and waste, and some of those who
are engaged in this ravage are exert
ing themselves to keep the way wide
open for it.
In his message to Congress last
December President Roosevelt pre-
sented the reasons why the govern

the case so convincingly that it re-
ceived the hearty appreciation of the
press in all parts OF the country,
especially the South, the region that
would be most benefited by this
grand work.
The appalachian Park bill has al
ready passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, but an attempt is being
made to defeat it in the Senate.
We cannot believe that it will re-
ceive any considerable support from
Southern Senators.
The bill should be passed at the
next session of Congress, for the
longer the establishment of the Ap-
palachian Park is delayed the fur
ther the stripping of the forests in
the region to be included in the pro-
posed reservation will be carried,
the greater will be the damage by
consequent floods and drouths and
the more obstacles will be placed in
the way of this, one of the most COM
mendable public improvements ever
undertaken by the national govern
ment.

WOMEN AT THE BAR.

Maryland is known as one of the
most conservative of all the States Of
our Union, but Maryland has taken
her place among the States that rec
ognize WOman's right and fitness to
engage in the practic of law
A few days ago q woman was ad-
mitted to the Baltimore bar and the
newspapers Of that city have COM
mented extensively on the event.
This woman shows truly feminine
peTsistency in her efforts to become
an accredited lawyer. She graduat-
eel FROM law school two years ago,
taking high stand ia her class. But
when she applied for admission to
the Baltimore bar She WAS rejected.
She appealed to the legislature
and found so MANY supporters in
that body that i; passed at its last
session law authorizing the Hcens-
ing Of all women in that State to
practice law who might apply for
that privilege and pass the requisite
examination.
The advocates of equal rights for
women are much elated over this
distinct advance of their cause in
one of the oldes6 and most conserva-
tive of our cOmmOnWealths.
But in the light of a historical fact
that is not generally known it does
not seem SO strange, after all, that
Maryland should have permitted
women to become lawyers.
The right Of woman to participate
in politics and government was as
serted in 1IaryIand before it was in
any otter part of this country.
Before the Revolution, woman
whose name we have forgotten, ap-
peared at the opening of the legisla-
ture Of that colony demanding her
right to sit in that body and eXer-
else full representative rights. She
had the property qualification which
was then sufficient to secure her
that privilege and the seat she de-
mandei could not be denied to her.
A brief statement of the advance
of women toward equal political
rights with men is impressive.
They nov have county and partial
municipal suffrage in England and
Scotland; suffrage at all elections ex-
cept fol parliament in Ireland; mu-
nicipaI suffrage in Kansas, Manitoba
and Nova Scotia; school suffrage in
Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois,
Ohio, the Dakotas, Arizona and Mon
tana; suffrage on all questions Of
taxation fer such of them as are tax
payers IN all the towns and villages
of New York and likewise in Louis
lana; full suffrage in Utah, Colorado |
and Idaho, and-most notable of all |
full suffrage at all elections, in
Guiding parliamentary, throughout
the new commonwealth of Aus
tralia.
The political progress of women is
one Of the most notable develop
ments Of this generation.

LuTGd Men to Her House to
 Be Robbed
MANY CRIMES EXPLAINED
Gang Was Composed of White Men and Negro Women and Commit ted Many Murders and Rob-
 berries at Beaumont, Tex.

Beaumont, Texas, March 12.-Mattie Bennett confessed today to Sheriff Lind ley that she was at the head of a gang of negro women and white men who had been for months turing men into her house and beating and robbing them. If they were only stunned they were taken out of the house to remote part of some street and left for pedestrians or police to find.
 A fear is felt that more than twelve men among those who have come to Beaumont and were afterwards reportea as missing have been murdered, and that their bodies are now at the bottom of the river. In the last three months at least fifty inquiries for missing men have been received, and while no one supposes the gang has murdered so many as fifty, there is fear that some of the disappearances are due to their work.
 Five bodies have been found in the river since the first of the year. The Ben nett woman was arrested Sunday on sus- picion of being connected with the murder of Benjamin Pearson, one of the five known victims. She denies being guilty of this crime, but admits that one of the gang of which she is a member discussed the circumstances of the deed. On the strength of her confession a white man, Punch" Prim, and a negro woman, Mary Jane," have been arrested All of them have been "sweated," and Sheriff Lindley states that he expects a full con- fession, not only of the murder ot Pear son, but of others.

May Organize Insurance
 Co. With Million Capital

strong that it will be able to cope with the Southeastern Tariff Association, which at present controls the business of most of the companies in this part Of the country. Should the company be formed on so large a scale it is believed it can effectually combat the other com panies and control the insurance situa- tion Tn Alabama.
 It is also stated the company will be so organized, as not to allow any person, or any company, to buy up the stock and then sell out to the opposition. MT. John w. Tomlinson, attorney for the board, said yesterday that in his opinion the company should be strong enough to hold its own with the big corporation which at present controls rates.
 He said it would be comparatively easy to secure a capital stock of $1,0OOOOO in Alabama on the mutual basis, and that a number of merchants in Birming- ham would be willing to go into the organization for large sums. Others out side the city would also be anxious to get the lower rates which would be guar anteed by the new company.

From present indications the insur- ance company which the Board of Trade proposes to organize will be on much larger scale than was at first thought. Talk is now heard among the members of making the company a S1,0OO,OO0 affair, and the suggestion seems to meet the approval of nearly every one concerned.
 It is believed by the members of the Board of Trade that if the matter is properly taken hold of it will not be difficult to get that amount of capital on a mutual basis. Plans for the com pany are being considered by the com mttee to look into the matter, but they refuse to make public their proceedings.

 The negro ran up to Second avenue and Twenty-second street, where Po- liceman Richardson was standing. He had heard the shots and called to the negro to halt. He refused, and the policeman fired at him. The negro fell, but quickly regained his feet and escaped between some negro houses.

 As is usual at every street fair or circus there are a number of men called graft ers'' or confidence men, and pickpockets. They have not arrived here yet in large numbers, but more will come as the time draws nearer.
 Evidence of these men being in the city are the two cases of confidence worked on men on the railroad trains one of $50 and the other of $17.50. This work was done by a gang who came to Birming- ham to work" the circus and fair.
 Any men arrested and unable to give an account of themselves will be locked up and held until after the pleasure seek CTS have all left the city.

They pro- pose to build this cable from the coast of California to Manila by January 1905, without a single dollar of cost or sub sidy from the government. They have entered into a contract to build this cable from San Francisco to Honolulu and to complete it by the first day of January 1903. They have already expended s1sO,- 0O0 It will cost them to build to Hono- lulu something over $2,0O0,00O. This is an absolute guarantee that it will proceed and build the line to Manila where the business will pay.
 "The Commercial Pacific Cable Com pany proposes to build an all-American line if possible. It proposes to take goV- ernment messages at half rates; and not only that, but that the postmaster general shall regulate the rate and the security of state when an emergency arises; shall have the right in the name of the gov ernment to take possession of that line and to use it and operate it for the gov ernment until the nee essity is passed"
 MT. Richardson then proceeded to read from the testimony of MT. Clark of the Vest ern Union Telegraph Company the statement that q government cable would give his company its share of the busl- ness, while if the Commercial Cable Com pany constructed tho Pacific cable 1t would get nothing.
