MAKE A FETISH OF SOLDIERS.
Rabbi Gives Reasons Why Women
Should Be Allowed to Vote.

Chicago,-Rabbi Emil G, Hersch.
addressing an audience at mass
meeting ander the auspices Of the Ma,
uonal American Women's Suffrage as.
sociation on Sunday, scored the ten
dency which he declared prevails, both
in this country and abroad, to make a
fetish OF the soldiers and glorify
agents designed for the destruction Of
human beings.
THE military idea" he asserted,
(which among the earliest civilized ma
tions caused war gods and the war
riors to be so absorbingly worshipped
that female children, because of the
unfitness of the sex for war service,
were destroyed at birth, is the reason
why today man has not granted and
refuses to grant 10 woman the right
to vote in matters OF public policy"
His conception of the ideal govern
ment. he said was one founded on
the home, in which the mother and
other women were endowed with the
right to a vote at the ballot box on all
questions pertaining TO the govern.
ment of that home and its children
as well as on the larger questions.

COLLISION Of
TWO STEAMERS
One Goes Down and Fourteen
Persons, Including Captain,
are Drowned.
The Vessel Which Escaped Serious In
jury Drifted AWav Without Offer
ing Assistance to the occu-
pants Of the Steamer She
Had Sunk.

Cardiff.-The British steamer He'll.
opolis collided Saturday at midnight
with the British steamer Orlando, out
ward bound from Penarth.
The Orlando sank and fourteen per-
cons, including her captain, were
drowned.
The night was clear, but there was \
gale blowing and a heavy sea running.
The Orlando, which was coal-laden for
Spezzia, was struck between the ell
gipe room and the stoke hole and was
SO badly damaged that she began I'M
mediately to fill and heeled over, sink
ing in half an hour.
The Heliopolis drifted away without
rendering any assistance.
The captain mustered all the ORR
anda's nineteen men on deck. Each
was given a life-belt and jumped into
the sea. Six of them reached water
logged lifeboat, the only boat it was
possible to launch the other having
been smashed at the time of the col
lision, and all of them, with the ex
ception OF one who died from exhaus
ton, We're rescued by a pilot boat,
after suffering greatly from exposure.
The Heliopolis had been chartered
to convey 1000 Spanish emigrants to
Honolulu. In letter to Lloyd's Ship
ping Gazette the ship brokers said
they had arranged the charter in be.
half of the American government, but
it was stated elsewhere that the Span
iards had been engaged by Hawaiian
sugar interests to replace Japanese
laborers. The Heliopolis was at Bar
ry, Wales, Saturday and was to pro-
ceed thence to Malaga for the immi-
grants.
The Orlando was built in 1879 at
Liverpool. She was of 1900 tons dis
placement and belonged TO the ORR
entail Steamship company of Liver
pool.

Japs Are Not Satisfied.

the agreement reached between Presi.

authorities, but should it he effected
on that basis the government must be
prepared for violent attacks. The au-
thorities are assuming calm and

CROWDED CARS JUMP TRACK.
Awful Wreck in Which Twenty-Five
Are Killed and Fifty Injured.

New York. Eighteen passengers
were killed outright, four others nave
since died of their injuries, and al
least fifty more were more or less
seriously injured in the wreck of the
White Plains and Brewster express on
the Harlem division of the New York
Central G Hudson River railroad near
Woodlawn road, in the Bronx borough
OF Greater New York. Saturday night
At Woodlawn road the four tracks
run through rocky cut and take
sharp curve. When the train reached
the curve it was running at a speed
estimated by some at sixty miles an
hour. Both motors and the smoking
car swung safely around the curve,
but the other cars left the rails and
plunging over on their sides with a
terrific crash, tore up the tracks for
hundred yards before they collapsed.
OF those instantly killed, by far the
greatest number were women. Many
were mangled beyond recognition.
Many of the injured were quickly ex-
tricated from the wreckage, while
others were so pinioned that they
could not be taken out for some time.
The cause of the wreck has not been
officially determined At the Grand
Central station there is inclination to
blame the accident to spreading rails,
but later it was said that it was be-
lieved that the axle of the first pas
senger coach broke.
