subject Is covered in admirable fash

said in my last message to congress.
Even though it were possible,

It is my purpose as soon as may be
to submit some further recommends

sphere of federal authority. A very
recent decision of the supreme court
of the United States rendered since
this message was written, in the case
of Adair versus United States, seem

very serious probable consequences,
has modified the previously enter

CHAPTER XVII.
The End of the Matrimonial Wooing

Sadie's discovery led to one great
change in her conduct. Perceiving that
the only really effective means of pro-
tecting Eva was to separate her from
Lord BroadstOne. she no longer sought
TO avoid him. If he recognized her. the
explanation would follow as matter of
course; and in his panic, she would GER
tainy be able to force him to do what
ever she deemed best.
1t was about this time that she began
to grope her way. to decision as to the
problem of Evas child. Her own son
was the rightful heir, of course. but she
was very unwilling that he should ever
come in persOnl contact with his father
Better to sacrifice fifty peerages than
bring the boy under the ban of such an
association. She had ample wealth, and
in time it would he his: but her ambi-
tons for him were American. not British.
The life of a rich young American was
wasteful enough: but that of rich
young English nobleman was in her eyes
infinitely worse.
She wished her child to be a man in
the fullest sense; able to hold his own i'll
the strenuous struggle of life; and she
purposed to make him prove his worth
and capacity before he was intrusted
with riches.
She would rather have sacrificed her
fortune than have brought her husband

believed his father dead. and she would
not have that belief disturbed if she
could avoid it.
That consideration helped her to decide
that If Eva's child proved to he son
that child should inherit Broadstone and
Eva herself never know the truth
Only one man stood in the way-Gilbert

could be bought, luckily; and as Sadie
knew the secret of Gladys Llewellyn. she
did not doubt that she could manage him

that Eva's life happiness should be

the action taken at its meeting Monday
evening on the question of suffrage for
the District of Columbia:
John H. Brinkman representing the

proposed resolution which favored the
granting of suffrage to the people of the
District of Columbia. At the conclusion
of the reading of the resolution, Emmett
l.. Adams, representing the International
Association of Machnists, took the floor
and suggested that as the Central Labor
Union had previously acted along the
lines indicated in the resolution. in fact
was the first organization to take cogni-
Zance of the report made by Mr.. Jam IS
Bronson Reynolds to the President, and
had at that time declared in favor OF
suffrage. 1t might be we'll to appoint d
special committee to which the resolution
should be referred with instructions to
report to the Central Labor Union a rec
concentration for Il basis for suffrage
which would most nearly meet the re-
quirements of the working people
The suggestion as offered by Delegate
Adams was agreed to by Delegate

action no heated or pointed remarks were
made nor was any interest that favorS
or opposes the views of this body al
