MRS. LEASES VERSION.
She Pays Her Respects to the Anti
race Suicide Agitators.

New York, Jan. 2s.-Mrs. Mary E.
Lease said some scorching things about
the men in an address on the subject
Equal Wage for Equal Work"
THE world" said Mrs. Lease, Eyes,
not only the world, but President
Roosevelt, calls on us to bear not one,
not two, or three. but many children
many children, 1 say, to protect the
race from suicide and fill up the ranks
of workers for the benefit of men.
I'VE do not foolishly complain. But
we want ballot. 1t is the only weapon
that will remove from the women all
the thousand injustices and inequalities
placed upon them.
There are million women workers
in the country. Fifty-six per cent of
them have been abandoned by their
husbands and have nothing else to do
except work. Oh, what q spectaclel
And here, right here in your proud
metropolis, the latest statistics show
that $4,000 men are supported by wo-
men. oh, what an example of the JUS
tice and chivalry of man! And yet
these drones of industry, VIGOROUSLY
unfit to protect the home, have the
right to go to the polls and cast their
ballots to Cypress the women who are
supporting them"

"NIG" WANTS MORE MONEY.
Objects to Going to = Larger League
on the Same Salary.

Kansas City, Jan. 2S.-"Nig" Per-
rine, who held down the keystone sta
ton for Jimmy Burke's Blue Legs last
season and who is scheduled to play
the same position for Washington in
the American league next season, re-
cefved his contract from Manager Joe
Cantillon yesterday and returned it inn
mediat ely--unsigned. however. Can
'tiET5n offered mig the some terms
he received here last year. AS the
association season lasts only five
months and the major league season a
month longer mig" wants to know
the wherefore.
Perrine said last night: whats the
use of a fellow going up to the big
league if he don't get a raise in salary?
It's a promotion. isn't it? They'll have
to come through with some more
dough for me before I'll attach my J.
Grover to a contract"
This looks like a scheme for Can
tilion to send Perrine back to the
minors, in fact to. Minneapolis which
club is owned by the Cantillons. Joe
knew Perrine would refuse to sign this
contract and it will give him a reason
for disposing of the infielder. If he
does send Perrine back to the minors
the American league will be disposing
of a player who is fast enough for the
best team in the country.

GOES AFTER MOORE.
Phil CHmpben Denounces Weather
Chiefs Utterances About Kansas. ,

Washington, Jan. 8.-Representative
Campbell in a speech in the house de-
nounced the utterances of Willis Moore,
chief of the weather bureau. He de-
clared Moore had slandered Kansas and
. said II the weather bureau chief is no
more correct in his views concerning
other states the department should be
abolished. To make opening for his at
tack, Mr.. Campbell moved to strike out
or the agricultural appropriation bill the
item carrying the salary of the chief OF
the weather bureau. Mr.. Campbell said:
If the information generally given
out by the bureau is no more accurate
than that relative to weather conditions
in Kansas, the bureau is a wholly uses
less and even harmful department of tho
government. A few days ago the chief
OF the bureau soemnly gave the eoup@
try the inforTnatio that weather eondlS
lions in Kansas have not changed
There is not farmer in Kansas who
doesn't know more about weather con-
ditions there than the chief of the bu-
reau Everybody who knows anything
about the state and its present condi-
tions known the velocity of the wind
has materially decreased and rainfall
has materially increased within recent
years. In all probability the gentleman In
charge of the weather bureau entertains
the delusion about Kansas weather that
is entertained about Kansas generally
by people who have never been there.
He has visions of savages still roam
ing the prafries and buffaIoes disporting
themselves in wallows over the great
SNotC" ZIG llA1hS we SUN nave CHlnCn-
bugs and grasshoppers and probably In
dulges in the delusion that we havo
nothing but hot winds, cyclones and oth-
er incidents of the desert.
I'VE have no more cyclones in KAN
sas than they have in Massachusetts;
we have seasonable rainfall, and have
had for many years. IT is SANDER upon
great state to have government ofIl-
cial publish soiemnly the wild statement
that conditions have not changed, and
that the wind still howls there as 1t was
supposed to do when the gov
eminent said 1t was a part of the great
American desert"
II should like to ask the gentleman
If they have any cyclone cellars in Kan
sas?" said McNary. o+
why, there is another delusion," re-
piled Campbell. There are no more
cyclone cellars in Kansas than in Mas
sachusetts."
from Kansas how he determines the
rainfall has increased the way he
states?" said Soothard.
aside from the fact that at the state
we have been making month";
ly tests for more than 80 years showing
the rainfall mas materially increased, the
farmers there know 1t has increased. We
get as much water in Kansas today per
capita as they get anywhere else in the
was the reply.
Campbell continued:
II have made this motion for the pur-
pose of calling the attention Of the house
to the fact that official statements
should not be made on transformation.

detriment to the people of Kansas"

DONATION DAY RESPONSE
flL~FlLl OOI QRl MI KEW St. Francis Orphan Asylum Gifts in Excess of Last
 Years Mark.

Yesterday was donation day for the St. Francis Orphan asylum and though the parishes will not report for several days the results as judged from the fund received at the asylum itself are fully up to if not in excess of last years mark One thousand, six hun dred dollars was taken in at headquar- ters and the hearty cooperation of the city in the support of the big work being done by the institution is a source of much qualification to the managers. That the charity is consid- cred worthy of support by the people of New Haven Is shown by the ready response to the call for assistance.
 During the afternoon two hundred visitors looked over the orphanage from cellar to roof and were enter tained by the recitations, songs and drills of the children.
 The following officers are in charge of the association's work for the en- suing year: James A. Fogarty, presi- dent; William J. Cronin, secretary; Father Cochran, treasurer, and Thom- as J. Leddy, assistant treasurer.

SECOND SONG RECITAL.
Dr. Carl Dufft Pleased Large Audience
 at Foy Auditorium Yesterday.


 The auditorium was filled withNa very appreciative and enthusiastic audience yesterday afternoon to hear the song recital given by Dr. Carl Outfit, which was the second of the series arranged by the Elm City branch of the Tri- bune Sunshine society. pr, Dufft's singing was treat indeed, and he held his hearers through the entire pro- gram. Indeed, 1t was only because the songs took the entire length of time at his disposal that Dr. Duft did not respond to repeated. demands for en- cores.
 The program contained a delightful variety of songs and gave excellent op- portunity for the singer to prove the beautiful quality and wonderful range and possibilities of his voice.
 MT, IRiehard Percy, who accompan- jed Dr. Dufft, is well known to many New Haveners and it was a pleasure to have him at the plano. He was so absolutely in accord with the singer and his playing added a charm to the very enjoyable afternoon.
