A Woman
Debater
CAUSES ASTIR
The Presence Of a Plucky
Girl on CorneHs Team
Doubles Interest in 1omor-
row Nights big Debate.

Ithaca, N. Y. Feb. 27.-Owing to
the opposition of the Columbians to
the presence of a woman on the Cor
nell team, the debate between Cor
nell and Columbia tomorrow night.
in which Miss Elizabeth Ellsworth
Cook. Cornell co-ed, will take part,
is today the principal subject of dis
cussion at this seat of learning.
While the orators of the metropolitan
university, in a sulky mood, have
consented to the appearance of Miss
Cook, the matter is not yet settled.
Both Cornell and Columbia are men,
bers of the Triangular Debating leag-
ne, which includes Pennsylvania, and
lit is certain that the matter of wo-
man debaters will be brought before
the next meeting.
While Pennsylvania took a neutral
stand in the matter of Miss Cook, it
is believed that the Quakers will
side with Columbia in asking for a
rule to exclude coed debaters. Nor
is Cornell entirely free from "sore-
heads" opposed to equal rights for
both sexes in debate, and Miss Cook
has many enemies ii her own camp.
This is the first time since Miss
Gail Laughlin was a speaker, some
ten years ago, that a coed has been
chosen member of the inter-colle-
giate team. There were ten or a
dozen men who competed against
Miss Cook, but the committee of
judges picked her above them. Five
professors were members of the COM
mittee.
The subject debated, which Is also
the subject for the intercollegiate de-
bate, deals with the Federal licensing
of corporations engaged in interstate
commerce. Miss Cooks home is in
this city. She has spoken on the '94
memorial debate stage, but has been
hitherto unsuccessful in competition
for intercollegiate contests. She is
now a senior in the College of Law.
She is serious-minded, capable
young lady who is used to work, likes
1t, and sticks to 1t. Her career in
speaking and debating is quite re-
markable for girl. In her fresh
man year she went in for speaking
and debate work. She joined this
Cornell Congress, the general debat-
ing organization of the university
and though the atmosphere here Is
usually anti-co-ed, she persisted, and
was chosen to compete for the con-
gress medal. She went out for inter-
collegiate teams and failed, but she
persisted, and after three years she
obtained her reward and was chosen
to speak on the "'94 Memorial
Stage" last December. 1t was con-
ceded that she spoke better than any
girl in recent years. She then COM
peted for the intercollegiate team
that Is to speak against Columbia,
and she won.
Miss Cooks pluck and courage are
remarkable. She staid out of col
lege a year and worked in New
York office to make money to finish
her course. She Is about five feet
in height. of slender build, has a
serious face of the intellectual type,
with soft, brown eyes and hair, and
a rather pale face. Her voice is soft
and musical. She is clever writer
as we'll as a good speaker. in short,
a self-contained, well-balanc d, COM
nonsense girl.

MAKE HEAP BIG WAR ON TAFT.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 27.-
While Oklahoma has been placed
safely in the Taft column by the
Washington Republican campaign
managers, The spirit of doubt ,s now
lowering over the political situation.
The administration supporters are
becoming alarmed and have ionned
their war paint to do battle with the
enemies of the war secretary. The
Republican clans are gathering in
Oklahoma City today for the Second
district convention, which will be
held tomorrow. The state convention
is now less than two weeks distant,
having been set for March IL. 1t Is
likely that both conventions here will
be productive of many sensational
skirmishes between the opponents
and friends of Taft.

THESE ARE ANXIOUS DAYS

+ + + + + = q 4.
A year ago at the wage conference
held here the men were granted ad-
vances in the scale amounting to
100000. Since then rates have
been lowered in many states and
traffic has fallen off to such an ex-
tent that railway managers declare
they will be unable to continue the
prosperity" scale of wages. Labor
leaders on the other hand declare
they will fight to the last ditch rather
than consent to cents reduction In
pay. This promises some lively ses-
sions for the wage conferences which
will take place in Chicago In April.
Headquarters are already being es-
tablished here by the engineers, fire
men, conductors and trainmen and
word has been sent to all the local
unions to select delegates to con-
vention which may be held at a later
date. In the meantime matters will
be further complicated by the inves-
tigation into the question which will
be undertaken by the interstate COM
merce commissions, at the recent re-
quest of the president. The serious
ness of the situation may be realized
when it Is remembered that there are
now 1,640.000 men employed by the
railroads of the country. If any
large number of these men were call
ed out on strike 1t would paralyze
commerce and probably lead to an
other panic, more disastrous than
that of last fall.

Estimates as to the loss have been
made all the way from 100000 to
100000 but is probably more or
less guess work, as the management
OF the company has given out no
figures.
The report as to the cause of the
explosion has not been made public
and Mr.. O'Donnell had no personal
opinion to give when questioned, ex-
cept that spark from the pipe of
one of the Greeks might have ignited
the gilsonite dust, though there is
nothing certain about that, as it was
not proven that either of the two
Greeks was smoking.
Some of the telegraphic dispatches
sent out from Grand Junction, Colo
rado, regarding the explosion were
highly colored. in fact they were re-
diculous. One imaginative cores
pondent estimated the number of
men employed at the mine to be 800.
On the three shifts about forty-five
or fifty men have been employed.
The same correspondent declared
that 103 men had Just gone off shift
when the explosion occurred and that
they were not more than 100 yards
away from the mine at the time. The
fact of the matter is that seven men
had gone off shift at midnight and
the explosion occurred more than an
hour later.-Price, (Utah) Advocate.
