There are married women work
ing in laundries and other places
whose husbands are earning good
wages. These women who have
homes are the real handicaps that
girls and women thrown on their
own resources have to compete
with.
If the married man will keep his
wife at home where she belongs it
would help the working women
more than the best union ever Or
ganized. Every married woman
with husband earning good
wageswages, that goes out to work,
is detriment to the single work
ing woman. Yours truly, Laundry
Worker.

By gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
President Roosevelt's determine
ton to lend his powerful influence
to secure the passage of ship sub
sidy bill at the coming session or
congress makes it more than prob
able that this long pending legisla-
ton will be enacted into law be-
fore the 4th of March, 1907.
The bill Endorsed by Secretary
Root, in his speech before the
Trans Mississippi Commercial con-
gress at Kansas City, is not the
familiar graft-tainted measure
which has become familiar to the
public as the embodiment Of the
American ship trusts chronic crav-
ing to connect with the United
States treasury.
This bill cults out the trans-At-
lantic ferries from their lions
share in the spols and proposes to
contribute money from the public
treasury for the establishment of
lines to South America, Central
America, China, the Pacific islands
and South Africa-to lands where
We have no markets and no means
for getting our goods to them.
1t remains to be seen whether
the people-particularly the people
in the great inland Mississippi val
ley, where the opposition to sub
sides has been strongest-will
: take any different view of subsi-
dies when they are thus limited.
The bill will not pass without a
sharp debate.
The bill which was stamped by
Secretary Root with the approval
of the administration, proposes
these subsidies for new lines to be
established:
From port on the Atlantic
coast in the United States to Bra.
I'll, monthly service, not less than
IA knots speed, S150,000 year.
From a port on the Atlantic

Cape Hatteras, and from a port on

DEAD MAN PROMINENT
JURlST OF SEATTLE
Ante-Mortem Statement Shows
DeIiberation on the Part OF
the Slayer.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 9.-Murder
in the first degree Will be the charge
against Chester Thompson. 20 years
city, who shot G. Meade Emory 10
death at his home Saturday night at
9 o'clock.
Yesterday 1t was discovered that one
bullet from young Thompson's re-
yolyer went clear through the BODY
from left to right. entering few inches
below the armpit on the left side ana
perforating both lungs.
Judge Emory literally bled to deatn
from this wound, his physicians being
unable to stop the hemorrhages, which
we're both internal and external and
very severe.
Victim Bled to Death.
Judge Emory yeserday gave to his
former law partner, Daniel helleher'
a complete statement of the events
prior to the shooting, saying Satur-
day evening, about dinner time, chester
Thompson called up my home by tele-
phone and talked to Charlotte Whlttle-
sey, my niece, With whom he was des-
perately in love. He asked permission
could not see him, as she was going out
for the evening. Moreover, she had
told Chester she did not wish his at
| tentions Some time later, Chester
| again called up my home. This time,
| at Charlotte's request, l answered the
! telephone and talked with the boy.
| told him that Charlotte did not wish
| to see him and that furthermore L
did not wish him to come to the house
again, nor did l wish him to continue
| his attentions. He replied, ON, no.
| You don't want me to como TO see her,
| eh?'
Shot Without Warning.
This was In tone of voice indicat-
ing bitter hostility to me. That ended
the conversation. An hour later Ches-
ter came running UP the steps to our
house. He entered the hall, passing
| Mrs. Keith, my wife and myself on
| the porch Instantly l jumped to my
feet and followed him. Then he turned
! and shot me down.
It Is clear that when Thompson en-
tered the house OF Emory 1t was for
the purpose of begging Charlotte Whit
| tlcsey to make up with him and possi-
bly, TO kin her and then himself II she
refused,
The plea of the defense will be In
sanity, based on the mad lnfatuation OF
the accused youth for Charlotte Whit
tIesey and also on his eccentric ac-
tions during the past two years.
Young Thompson Is the son OF
prominent local attorney and nephew
Of Maurice Thompson, tho author.
