WOMEN IN FUTURE TO

President of Business Women's
Club in New York Says Time
Is Bound to Accord
New "PriviIeges."

New York, May IF they nave
money or the ability TO support hus-
bands, the young ny of the future
are to be allowed to propose marriage
10 young men without violating the
non of conNentionality.
OF this the club women of New York
feel absolutely certain.
The number OF women who are sup
porting their husbands is increasing all
the time, according to the latest t
iistics in club circles.
Mrs. Harriet Johnston Wood, attor-
ney and president of the Business
Women's club, is a strong advocate
for woman's right to propose.
This CUSTOM" said she, granted
exclusively to man is only another OF
the numerous prerogatives he has re-
served to himself which timid woman
has never had the courage to dispute
But time is bound to give it to her
and the change will be a good thing
for Society."

Boise, Idaho. May 1.-William ID.
HAYWOOD, secretary-treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners. will be
placed on trial for his life at Boise II.
a few days. With Charles n. Meyer
president of the Miners union. n
George A. Pettibone. AN honorary mem.
Der of the union, he is charged with
instigating the assassination of former
Governor ~Steunenberg, at Caldwell,
Idaho.
The special prosecutors have decided
to try Haywood first. as he is consid-
cred the most influential man in the
labor movement in the mining states.
and his activities in the movement
have brought upon him the bitter
hatred of the mine wners
Meyer and Pettibone We're caught
with Haywood in a dragnet handled by
James Mcfarland, head of the Pinker-
ton detective agenc at Denver, and the
sole evidence SC far known against the
accused is an alleged confession made
by Harry Orchard, who is reported by
Mcfarland to have admitted killing
~Steunenberg. Orchard, according to his
reported confession (Which has never
been published), declares that the
crime n many other atrocious acts
were instigated by Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone.
Public Interest Grows.
President Roosevelt has increased
public interest in the forthcoming trial
by unqualiiedly denouncing the miners
officials in advance Of the testimony in
court.
Labor organizations throughout the
country are more deeply Interested in
this case than in any other subject now
confronting unionism. If the accused
men are not guilty, the people of the
nation are interested to learn why
these three men We're kidnapped, under
the guise of law, from their homes in
Denver, taken to Idaho and held in Jail
fora year without trial.
So far as the newspapers have been
able to get inside of the case, it appears
that the prosecution is not confident OF
securing q verdict against the accused.
Harry Orchards confession, standing
alone as it does, is not sufficient. the
lawyers for the state admit, to convict
Haywood or his associates.
Prosecuted Riot Gases.
President Roosevelt's condemnation
of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, at
this time, just on the eve of trial, may
seriously interfere with the securing OF
a jury at Boise. Governor Gooding OF
Idaho has repeatedly and often pro-
ounce the accused men guilty, and
now the president declares they are
undesirable citizens"
Judge Wood. who will preside, was
United States attorney during the
Occur d'Alene strikes, when the miners
were herded into the "bull PEN by
troops and kept there. He prosecuted
the miners for conspiracy.
