EER'S WAS A SAD CASE
Shut Out from the Country of Her
Adoption, Robbed of Her In
heritance, She Suicides.

nCEAtdHCS, SiO 5uLCLAcSs
New York, Feb. Disappointment
over the loss CT her share Of the family
fortune, and fear that she would be
deported, is believed to have caused
the suicide of Rosa GonSalzes, of San
Francisco, at Ellis Island. The wOm-
mn arrived here a few days ago from
Portugal, whittier she had gone four
months ago to claim her Inheritance,
only to find that it had been squander-
ed by a brother who had afterwar s
died in an asylum for the insane at
Lisbon.
On her return to this country she
was accompanied by her son-in-law,
Emanuel G. Estrella. The pair had
only $40 between them, aud as neither
one could recolIect the address of Their
home in San Francisco the immigra-
ton authorities detained them, but de-
cided to permit them to land The wo-
man, however, feared that she would
be sent back to Portugal, and this,
coupled with the loss of her property,
is said to have weighed heavily upon
her mind.

WOMEN TACKLE THE SENATOR'S
Suffragists Have a Hearing and De-
mand the Voting Privilege.

Suffragists Have a Hearing and De-
mand the Voting Privilege.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Delegates to
the number of fifty attended a hear
ing on woman suffrage before the
house committee on judiciary. Mrs.
Florence Kelly, secretary of the Con
sumers' eague, New York, was in
charge of the hearing. Mrs. Rudolph
Blankenburg, of Philadelphia, ex-
planned the part women played in
bringing about the reform movement
in Philadelphia. She said politics en-
tiers the home and must be partici-
pated in by women. AS politics plays
an important part in city water, gas,
and even the air of smoky city, Mrs.
Blankenburg said women must newt
ably be drawn into politics, and should
be permitted to exercise the franchise
that they may protect the home prod
uct, children.
Miss Kate NJ. Gordon, of Louisville,
spoke for southern women and said it
is not true that women of the south
do not desire the ballot. Senator Bev-
eridge was made the subject of much
of the remarks of Mrs. Harriet Taylor
Upton, of Ohio. Referring to the joint
statehood bill she thanked him for tax
ing women out of the class of lunatics,
paupers and criminals She said that
it is only young sprigs of men who
are willing to declare themselves open
y against equal rights for women"
Reveridge replied to Mrs. Upton by
saying that the committee on terri tories
had done only its simple duty in
amending the statehood bill Mrs.
Shaw replied that the women wanted
not only to be out Of the bill, but in
It, and thus turned the applause which
had been awarded the senator to a
hugh at his expense. Mrs. Susan Fes-
sender, of Massachusetts, said that
"God never intended that there should
be any especial use in being a man..
Mrs. Shaw closed the presentation
Of the case with an argument for the
passage of the bill giving women the
right to vote for members Of the house
of representatives In closing the
meeting Senator Bacon expressed the
hope that they might see the ladies
again, and Mrs. Shaw replied that;
UNLESS the bill is passed you will ces.
tainly have that pleasure"

ALBERS IS AT HOLE AGAIN
Man Who Was Given Fifteen Days
to Leave Nicaragua, Tells
His Story.


New York, Feb. 16-William A. Al
bers, the United States citizen who was
imprisoned in Nicaragua last summer
and served about six months of a three
years and a half sentence, has arrived
at New York, and told his story of the
arrest, conviction ana release. Albers
was released after efforts had been
made i'll his behalf by the United States
government, and was given fifteen
days in which to leave the country
II did not resist arrest" Albers said.

Affairs of the Prior Case.

Cleveland, Feb. 16.-The bankers
committee which has had charge of the
financial affairs of Denison, Prior &
Co. since the suicide of L. w. Prior
and the discovery of his forgeries, has
issued a statement in the form of a
circular letter to the creditors. The
bankers give notice to the creditors
that they will not serve longer as a
committee, it being apparent, they
say, that litigation over many Of the
claims will have to be gone through
before a final settlement of the tangled
affairs of the firm can be Strengthened
out.

Senate Committee on Commerce
Continues to Not Know
Where 1t Is "At."
CULLOMs VIEWS ARE A FACTOR
Committee Majority Would Like to
Have His Help.
Judicial Review the Point of Dis
pute-WOmen Talk to Sena-
etors About Suffrage.

Washington, Feb. 16. = Agreement
to vote on a railroad rate bill today in
the senate committee on interstate
commerce is an issue that neither fac
ton, on the question of judicial review
of orders of the interstate commerce
commission, seems inclined to force
Neither knows the strength of the
other, and unquestiOnably the Demo
cratic members Of the committee are
the balance Of power. Neither Of the
Republican factions has issued a for
NAL statement setting forth the diff
ferences, but the / emocrats, in an
authorized statement from Bailey
have made it clear that IAN adequate
bilI' must be reported CT tie minority
will have measure Of its own In
this statement however, it is admit
ted that the Democrats are divided on
the question of judicial review.
CuIIom's Position Is Important.
The members of the committee insist
ing upon an amendment to the house
bill-EllIins, Aldrich, Foraker, Kean
and Crane-dO not believe the amend
ments providing for any change in the
court features of the bill can be voted
upon today. Dolliver and Clapp, the
champions Of the house bill in it's pres
ent form, are not disposed to insist up
on a vote. They desire to have CuIlom
paired against amendment, but the
conservative faction will not permit
this. If the vote is postponed, as
seems likely, CullOm may return to
Washington before a vote is taken.
Different reports are circulated con-
corning his position, the conservatives
admitting the allegation that he is
against an amendment that would sus-
pend an order of the commission pend
ing a review by the courts, but insist
ing that he is not opposed to a more
moderate amendment
Presidents Advisers Differ.
The positions will be outlined clear
Il today, even though a vote is not
obtained. Republican senators on both
sides Of the question were asked to say
just what the differences are. The re-
EpOnses were directed to show what
the differences are not. Aldrich, Adli-
son and Secretary Taft conferred with
the president concerning the alleged
necessity of an amendment providing
for judicial review. The secretary of
war has joined forces with conserva.
tive senators in declaring that such
an amendment is required to make the
bill constitutional. Attorney General
Moody does not agree to this, and the
president. so far as is known, has not
committed himself unalterably.
