WOMEN WRESTLERS
FURNISH NEW FAD

ST. Petersburg. July 26.-The wrest-
ling of the duma with the government
has not produced half as much emotion
in st. Petersburg as the wrestling OF
lady champions"
The international championship of
women wrestlers proceeding on Kres-
'tovsky Island. to the north OF the city.
has created a new society craze. The
manifesto of October 80 is completely
forgotten in discussions OF the relative
advantages of the shoulder grip and
the hand grip. Hundreds of carriages
mt automobiles. including the automo-
bile OF the minister Of education, crowd
he road to the island. Inc fierce
struggles take place for even the worst
seats.
Society ladies' bring blocks Of wood,
wrapped in brown paper. on which to
stand. ana peddlers sell mirrors
screwed to sticks for the use of specta-
tors Of small stature.
The audience twice got so excited
that 1t raided the platform to save a
Russian lady champion from defeat.

NO MORE WOMEN AS
PRIVATE SECRETARIES

Washington, July zt.=A-~s sensation
has been created in Washington by
an order issued by Secretary Wilson
prohibiting the employment Of women
In the agricultural department as pri-
Vate secretaries to heads OF bureaus
and chiefs of division.
The women in the government de-
partment who have been pointing with
pride to reports from the civil service
bureau and to interviews with promi-
nent officials commenting their eff
ciency. are shocked that Wilson at this
time should step in and restrict their
employment.
Some of them assert that he in try
ing to protect them from temptations
TO which they have been exposed as
private secretaries, has gone too far.
They declare the records prove that
women are more efficient and in ali
respects more satisfactory as govern
ment clerks than men.

JAPAN REPORTED
HOLDING UP HER COAL

Vancouver, July 26~.-According to
British naval officers VINO arrived from
the orient on the Empress of China
Sunday night ell route to England from
the China station the japanese govern
ment has placed a positive embargo on
the export of coal from Japan. Oper-
ators have been ordered to load no coal
for export and steamers are supplied
with only sufficient to complete the re-
urn voyage to Japan.
This is said to be why the Canadian
Pacific railroad. which had several
shiploads of coal ordered during the
Canadian coal strike, received but one.
1t is also stated on the best authority
that the government has been inquir-
ing for large shipments of Australian
and Welsh coal. the latter designed for
coaling stations remote from Japan
and probably in the vicinity of the Phil
ippines.
The officers say positively that the
Japanese going to Mexico through
Hawaii are all service men and veter-
ans of the late Russian war.
