Mrs. Willoughby Rodman of Los An
geles Issues "Handy Book"

Los Angeles, Oct Believing
that the women of California should
be thoroughly informed as to the best
methods for securing divorces and the
proper charges to bring. Mrs. Will
loughby Rodman, president of the Wo-
mems Civic Federation and one of
The best-known club women in the
state, has compiled a book on divorce
laws. which she vii distribute at cost.
Mrs. Rodman does not advocate pro-
miscuous divorce. but she holds that
when women are wronged by their
husbands they should know how to
proceed. Attorneys and judges of the
superior courts express the belief that
the book will increase the number of
divorces in Los Angeles, which now
crowd the court to such an extent that
additional facilities for trying the
cases have been secured.

PUTS LID ON NEWS

THE NEWS.
President Forbids Cabinet Members
to Talk Tbout What Is Done
at Meetings.

Washington, Oct 20.-President
Roosevelt has addressed personal let
ters to all members of his cabinet re-
curing that they refrain from discuss
ing with newspaper correspondents
the proceedings at cabinet meetings
and that they Sive out no news what
ever about any matters of admins
trative policy.
1t is unders1 God that the letter says
that "self-respecting newspaper cor
respondents have felt a hesitancy
about approaching cabinet officers con-
cerning cabinet matters. The new
system makes Mr. Loeb. private secre-
tary to the president, the one source
of information for news of this char
acter.
The effect of the order will be to
"bottle up much information that un-
til now has been finding way to
newspaper columns.
The custom of several of the cabinet
officers has been to discuss cabinet
matters and broad questions of policy
rather freely with the accredited rep
resentatives of the newspapers of the
country. Information thus secured
las been considered available for pub
lication, though, of course, it has al
ways been used impersonally. In this
way, it has been believed that cor
respondents were enabled to acquire a
more comprehensive understan anding of
the new developments from day to
Gay than would be possible if informa-
ton were dribbled through one source
in purely formal terms.

HEN PUT FORWARD TO DEposE
THE EAGLE.
Tyrant Of tre Air Has No Claims on
Our Gratitude and Esteem, While
the Humble Barnyard Fowl Has
Many.

The suggestion may seem radical,
but why not depose the eagle and
choose a more appropriate national
bird? The eagle is a bird of prey,
destroying many more useful birds;
he is not beautiful, except when soar
ing at great heights, in which distance
lends enchantment to the feathered
pirate, and he is an emblem Of the
most tyranaical monarchieS in the
world. Russia had adopted him long
before our republic was born. Aus
iris used him SO long that he became
shopwsrn. Ancient Rome robbed and
ravaged, using him as its appropriate
emblem. In the Continental Congress,
when national bird was selected, the
eagle won over the turkey by but one
vote. Washington and Franklin fav-
ored the turkey as a bird of peace dis
tinctiyely American, not at war with
everything else wearing feathers, in
cluding its own kith and kin. Why
should country like ours adopt sec
ond-hand emblem already stained with
the deeds of tyrants and the misdeeds
of despots?
Why not adopt the plain, useful,
peaceful and practical American hen?
While not a singer, her 'lay" is pleas
ing and preferable to the shrill scream
OF an eagle with its talons dripping
innocent blood. The hen is indus
trious, unassuming and devoted TO
usefulness. She is an exponent Of the
simple life in all its beauty and seduc-
tiveness. She fills 0sp beds with
feathers, our departments Of the inter
lor with omelets and OUT souls With
satisfaction. Her eggs ufing millions
of dollars monthly to our people, ex.
elusive of those her owners consume,
Her spring chickens, though the
spring in them sometimes resembles
rubber, have fancy price-marks at
teched and are justly esteemed. You
cannot eat eaglets nor get rich on
eagles eggs. The cackle Of the house
hold hen is musical, though not en-.
trancing She Is sociable and does
not, like the eagle, hold herself aloof
She is immortal, for her son never
sets. She is brave, and for her little
brood will fight anything from a nam.

Express and Store Drivers Vote to
Keep Up Contest in Chicago at
Least Until August.

Chicago, July 19.-Both the railway
and express and the department store
drivers having voted to continue the
struggle, union leaders predicted to-
day that the teamsters' strike would
be prolonged until after the conyen-
tion of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, which opens in Phila-
delphia on August 7th.
The department store drivers decid-
ed by an almost unanimous vote to
continue the strike after they were
informed that the railway express
drivers had taken similar action. The
railway express drivers vote resulted
in count of 163 for war and 121 for
peace. There are more than 700
members in the organization, and the
light vote that was cast was due, 1t Is
said, to the fact that nearly half the
members of the union have obtained

gold dust in and about Fairbanks,
Alaska, as the result of almost daily
hold-ups of miners by armed bandits.
the secretary of war and the Wash

have been asked to send troops to the
scene of the trouble. Albert White,
secretary of the Miners and Prospect
ors' Association, has telegraphed Sec
retary Taft that the necessity for
troops is imperative. General Viii.
liams, commander of the Department
of the Columbia, has been ordered to
make an investigation. Alaska men
who have just arrived in this city from
Fairbanks say that the lawless ele-
ment from Nome, attracted by the
amount of gold in the Tanana, are re-
sponsible for the trouble. Armed
guards of miners accompany all gold
trains. A fear is expressed that Fair
banks will next be attacked.

Belle Fourche, S. D., July 19.-Work
under progress on the irrigation pro

forty horsepower boiler will be uti-
lized to furnish steam for pumping
water to the various engines and also
to pump out the coffer-dam, which will
be constructed by placing two rows of
sheet steel piling the full length of the
permanent dam which will be over
400 feet in length. On the ground is
seventy-ton self-propelling steam
shovel, which has already been trans
ported to the sixty-foot cut near the
Giles ranch: also two large elevator
graders, propelled by powerful trac-
ton engines. and which are followed
by dozens of dump wagons, which re-
ceive the dirt from the graders in the
same manner that the wagons are
used to gather the wheat heads from
the headers. Then there are thirty-six
four-horse buck" scrapers, the same
number of two-horse slips and ten
two-horse wheelers.

! st Petersburg, July 19.-Judgine
| from the spirit of the Russian press
the Russians are not anxious fol
peace negotiations unless VladivostocI
can be saved. One of the Russian min
listers, who has the ear of the cZar
said this week:
Suppose the very worst that can
happen. We can abandon Manchuria,
liau Tung Port Arthur, the Kharbin
railway and agree to pay war indem-
nifty, but what We will refuse at all
costs is the dismantling of Vladivo.
stock and the surrender of Sakhalin.
Not that Sallhalin is intrinsically so
valuable, but its possession is invalu.
able to us if we intend that Vladiyo
stock shall remain what it always has
been, namely, the outpost of Russia in
Siberia. We have never had any ma.
tional existence in Manchuria. Port
Arthur is an accident. Let them take
both if they like-take both away from
us, let them ask for money, but let
them go no further. If Japan is bent
on asking for the dismantling of Vladi.
vostock and the promise not to main
tain a fleet in the far eastern waters,
it is futile to lose time in vain talk"
Asked what would be the Russian
policy if peace negotiations fell
through, this authority said that the
following plan had been adopted. At
ter the defeat of the Russian armies
in Manchuria Russia would fall back
to the Siberian frontier, leaving Vladi-
vostock W its fate. Birileff is there,
and it is figured that he can hold out
for at least one year.
This will give Russia time to mass
on the frontiers a million men after
putting down all instructions within
her own borders. Neither men nor
money will be lacking, for it will no
longer be a colonial war, but giant
struggle between two peoples, war
rendered national by the cara war
which will become as much struggle
for existence as when Napoleon invad- |
