'W0RKINe SISTERS, FIX YOUR OWN
HOURS Of LABOR" Is STIRRING APPEAL

is just S inviolable as mans; she
has his responsibilities; she must
suffer the same penalties. The idea
of her physical inequality with man
is a matter OF sentiment.
All these things being recognized
and declared by the highest judicial
authority of the state, is it not short
of criminal that she has no voice in
her own government?
Does Judge Gray's decision really
mean the right of free contract to
woman? The words of free con-
tract" remind me Of the open shop"
question. We know from the past
few years that the right of free con-
tract means the employers right to
exploit every employee individually.
The same might be applied to the
present question. Free contract
now means that woman not having
the protection of union will be
compelled to work all hours of the
night or lose her job, and when we
are told that women want to work
after 9 p. m. the truth Is because
the pay is so miserably small that
she has to do it in order to exist.
There are 2 classes of men who
object to the right Of suffrage for
women. The 1 class is that of the
professional politician. the "bood
ler,' who fears to lose the upper
hand The other class is that of
men who have sentimental ideas of
women, who think that they. the
men, are the tall oaks which should
protect the weaker sex from the
gale.
Woman's inequality is myth!
She is just as strong, just as sensi-
bic, Just as capable a man. She is
willing to be on the same basis of
responsibility and liability to the
law as man. She suffers the same
punishments and penalties. She
wants the same privileges!
Working sisters fix your own
hours of labor! Organize! You will
need to work before and leaving

The Scutcheon farm had apparently al

cloud which the sons invalidism cast.
over the family.
Today while no warning as far as is
known, Scutcheon suddenly murderously
attacked his son with an axe. He crushed
the boys head frightfully. When mis-
wife interfered he turned on her and pur-
sued the frightened, screaming woman
from the house to the road, where ne
knocked her down with his weapon.
He then rushed back to the house and
murdered his foster father-in-law.

mission Within a

By Associated Press.
BREMERHAVEN, Germany, July 2.-
The North German Lloyd steamship Kali
ser Wilhelm II, while coaling last even
ing, suddenly listed. The water poured
into her bunkers and boiler and COM
partments through the open coal ports
and the vessel careened and lay on her
side on the bottom. When the tide was
low her bow rested on bank, but with
the rising of the tide she slipped from
that position and keeled over.
The first impression was that strikers
had damaged the vessel in some manner
so as to cause the accident, but the COM
panys officers, after an investigation,
affirmed that this was incorrect and that
the accident occurred as described
After some delay the steam pumps were
set to work to free the vessel of water.
The cabins do not appear to be much
damaged, as little water reached them
but the ship cannot be ready to sail, the
company announces, for several days at
the best.
In the meantime the Kaiser Wilhelm's 8
full list of passengers for Tuesdays sail
ing must be transferred to other liners.
Arrangements have not yet been fully
made, as it is not easy in this crowded
season to place the Kaiser Wilhelm
400 first-class passengers.
In explanation of the accident, 1t Is
said that the inspectors of coal slowing
had not perceived that the vessel was
not properly trimmed because, as she
was partially aground she kept her equil-
ibrium. When, however, she began to re-
float with the rising tide, she suddenly
went over on her side until hundreds of
tons of water rushed In.

Special to The Herald.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 21.-Lying on
her deathbed with no earthly possession
but her months old baby, Mrs. Oscar
Temanos of Monessen, Pa, has adver-
tised the child for sale for $50 in order
that she may pay her medical and drug
bills, a small debt for food, and leave
this life without a creditor.
Three months ago the father disap-
peared leaving his wife and child desti-
tute. For several weeks the mother sup
ported herself and the baby by washing,
but fell victim of an incurable disease.
Believing that any one able and willing
to pay $50 for the baby will give 1t a
comfortable home, and hoping by this
means to ease her creditors and die in
peace with her debts paid, the woman
inserted the following advertisement in
the newspapers:
FOR SALE-A 4-MONTHS-OLD BABY;
healthy and easy to manage MRS. OSCAR
TEMANOS, Moneseen Price $50.
Creditors, realizing the helplessness of
the woman, have agreed to cancel her
indebtedness, but she insists on offering
for sale her sole and dearest possession
in order that her debts may be fairly met
and the child assured of a home before
she is compelled to leave 1t.

FENCERS OF GOVERNMENT
LAND FACE PROSECUTION
Secretary of Interior Warns Such
Usurpers That Special inspectors
Will Be Abroad In the
Land
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July H-In state
ment issued today Acting Secretary of
the Interior Woodruff says prompt action
will be taken wherever cases of illegal
fencing of public lands are discovered,
but that inspectors and special agents
are especially occupied this summer with
preventing fraudulent requirement of pub
lie land. The statement follows:
my attention has been called to
articles in several western papers to the
effect that the department of the interior
will not prosecute any illegal fencing this
year. 1t would be unfortunate that such
an idea should get abroad, but 1T is not
true, and If any depended upon 1t, they
might get into serious trouble. I might
explain that the special agent force of
the general land office and the special in
spectors of the interior department will
be especially occupied during the summer
with the more paramount and immediate
duty of protecting the public land being
acquired contrary to law. For that rea-
son few of them can be detailed to search
specifically for illegal fencing"
