which his name was given as Metz, which
proved his connection with the three rev

Brand Whitlock, Mayor of Toledo, in
welcoming the national council of women
took advanced ground in declaring that
the problems of the race could never be
solved by male intelligence salone. He
thought that men could not be all that
they should be as long they denied
women what they have a right to become.
Women had too long surrendered their
real rights to masculine gallantry such as
theater tickets and seat in a street car,
and it was time for them ito do away
with the fictions and absurdities of society
life and come out and take their places

an equal standard of morals for men and

President Recommends Restriction
of Water Diversion.

of Water Diversion.
President Roosevelt Monday sent to
Congress the report of the international
waterways commission ON the preserva
ton of Niagara falls. The report con
tains recommendations for the restriction
of the amount of water to be diverted for
power purposes and suggests that the
amount of water to be diverted be limited
either by treaty or legislation. The linn
itation is placed at $4,000 cubic feet per
second from the Canadian side and 49,,
800 cubic feet per second from the Amer
lean side, in addition to 10000 cubic feet
second authorized for the Chicago drain
age canal. The effect of the diversion of
water by the Chicago drainage canal upon
the general navigation in this section of
the great lakes system will be considered
in separate report. The American mem
bers are of the opinion that the enuncia
ton of principles to govern the making of
a general treaty is not within the scope
of their functions moreover, the juris-
diction of the American members of the
commission is restricted to the great lakes
system.

FIRE IN STEEL PLANT.
Valuable Dies and Models Are De-

A fire apparently due to sparks from
an electric motor caused loss of $780,

Steel Company's plant in South Chicago.
The private fire department of the com
pany proved insufficient to control the
flames, and fearing that the fire would
spread to other parts of the building the
South Chicago department was summon
ed. Sixty men were at work liz the shop
when the fire started and were so ousily
engaged that the flames had made consid

Gals of the company said the loss would
probably reach $4,000. Valuable dies
and models were destroyed or so badly
damaged that they would have to be re-
placed.

May Prove Fatal.
AT a farmhouse four miles from Leb-

age, was perhaps fatally shot, and the
authorities have arrested Ethel Sturte-
want, II years old, for the crime. The
trouble occurred at the home of the young
woman. Charles Barden, well known in
Grange circles, is the victims father.
Young Barden in deposition declared
that the Sturteyant girl had shot him.
The young woman denies this, asserting
that the shot was fired by one of two
young men who were also at her home
that evening. 1t is alleged that Barden
had been paying the girl marked attention
for several months up to December last,
when these attentions suddenly ceased.
When search of the Sturtevant house
was made a 32-caliber revolver with one
chamber empty was found under pillow
on the bed in the girls room.
