Marriage Declared to Be Minor
incident in Life.
NAN APPENDAGE TO WOMAN
Woman's League Holds That Marriage
is Merely Minor Consideration
There Being 0other More I'm

CHICAGO, June 9.-Marriage has be.
come a mere incident in the life of wo.
an; man is but an appendage, an al.
junct, corollary of woman. In short
man is not nearly as important as she
with fatuous self conceit imagines him
self. So speakers at the session of the
National Business Woman's League in
the Palmer House declared yesterday
all the speakers being women.
In art, in music, in literature, in
medicine, on the stage, as nurses, as
court reporters and in numerous other
vocations professions, trades or crafts
men are by no means the whole thing.
Most startling of all man as hus-
band does not summarize the entire uni

TELEGRAM SENT ROOSEVELT
San Francisco Residents Suggest Plan
For Government to Loan City
Money, Taking City Bonds
as Security.

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a tele
gram was sent President Roosevelt to-
day setting forth the conditions in SaI
Francisco and offering suggestions as te
the means by which aid may be obtained
from the national government, through
action by Congress. 1t pointed out that
the disaster was not purely local as it
involves great national port closely
related to interstate and foreign COM
merce, the regulation of which as well
as all measures affecting the general
welfare, is entrusted by constitution to
Congress. Therefore, it is asked that the
precedent established in the cases of the
Pacific railroads, Cuba, National Expo
sitions, and other instances, be followed.
It is suggested that Congress authorize
first, loan to the national red cross of
ten millions to aid to re.establish the
homeless in houses before next winter,
and that the secretary of the treasury
be authorized to accept the twelve mil.
lions of bonds now unsold in the city
treasury, as security for the deposit of
national moneys with the banks and
that such other. measures be adopted as
may be deemed appropriate. The Presi-
dent was informed that committee
had been appointed TO confer with him
and the secretary Of the treasury on the
subject,

ELECTION D0DCES.

MANILA. June 9.-Governor Ide to.
day set aside the election of Luna as
Governor of the Province of La Union
This action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the governments attor-
neys. Evidence was taken to show that
Luna had voters of the opposite party
arrested on false charges of bribery,
thus intimidating them into voting for
him. Governor Ide finds that majority
of the charges have been proved. There
fore he has ordered another election.

to its truth in the proportionate scale
of things and is becoming an incident.
Marriage is but an incident in the life
of man, why should it not be so in
the life of woman! Women of today
must have other interests in life besides
the hearth, and think it is very good
thing for woman herself and for the
nation as whole that we are becoming
weaned to some extent from the idea
that marriage is the all-an-all of wom-
ans career"

ASTORIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash

felt for many big numbering enterprises
