FOR RIGHTS OF SEX
New York Member Declares the
Workshop Is Alma Mater of Some
of the Worlds Grandest
Characters

II UFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 1S.-What
X woman with the ballot in her
~ hand could do toward alleviating
the hardships and suffering in the in
dustrial world, due to injustice and in
equality, was told to an Industrial
mass meeting at the Star theater to-
day by delegates to the fortieth annual
convention of the National American
Woman Suffrage association.
President Anna H. Shaw said that
every human being should be given the
opportunity to toll; that Gods greatest
gift to the human race was when he
sent man forth into the world to earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
Miss Jean M. Gordon, factory in
spector for the parish of Orleans, New
Orleans, was introduced by President
Shaw as an industrious young woman
whom the political ring of New Or
leans sought to have removed, but who
still retains her in Office, doing splendid
work for the poor.
Makes Eloquent Plea
Harriet Stanton Blatch of New York,
made an eloquent plea for more at
young girls who are going out into the
world to work.
She took exception to the expression,
clover class" and said that some OF
the grandest characters she knew had
the workshop for their alma mater,
and the trade unions for a post gradu-
ate course.
The report of the committee on IN
dustrial problems affecting women and
children was given by Florence Kelley
of New York. She spoke in part as
follows:
.'Votes for working women mean
shorter hours. Eight hours for men,
ten hours for children, unlimited hours
for women-such is our practice TO-DAY
in an Increasing number of states.
Favors Eight Hours
Eight hours for all workers would
do more to reduce tuberculosis than all
the crusades against it that are going
on in the world today.
working women have the working
day of eight hours only in the rouf
states in which they vote-Colorado'
Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
Eight hours for men, ten for chli-
dren, unlimited hours for women VIII

men themselves help to eject the

RUSSIA URGED TO INTERVENE

ST. PETERSBURG PRESS DE-
PLoREs TRADE PARALYSIS
Constitutional Leader and Brigand
Followers Said to Contemplate
Revolt In Southern Section.
Success Probable
[By Associated Press.7 ,

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 1S.-The
Novoe Vremya in an editorial today
raises the question of Russian inter-
vention in northern Persia, asserting
that this may soon be necessary to
prevent all of Persia falling a prey to
anarchy, and to safeguard Russia s
commercial and other interests in
northern Persia.
The Novoe Vremya sees no hope of
the shah's forces restoring order in the
province of Azerbaijani
Hatar Khan, the Constitutionalist
leader, and his brigand followers, the
paper says, intoxicated with victory,
have established an autonomous gov
ernment at Tabriz and are about to
carry the standard of revolt into
southern Persia, with fair chances of
success.
Russian trade has been completely
paralyzed and the outbreak threatens
to cross the frontier into the Caucasus.
In conclusion the Novoe Vremya
says
Great Britain and Russia have tried
to play the role of disinterested ad-
visers to the shah, but without sue
cess. Russia, in justice to herself.
though unwittingly, may be forced to
assume the task of restoring order in
Azerbaijani."

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., Oct.
1S.-William j. Bryan's final swing
around the country, which will carry
him to the Atlantic coast, was begun
here today, when he left at O'Clock
over the Burlington for st. Louis,
where early in the morning he will
make an extended speech previous to
crossing the Mississippi, and speaking
to the employees of the National stock
yards at East St. Louis.
The Democratic candidate concluded
his Nebraska and Colorado trip here
this morning at 10:S0 o'clock, and he
devoted his six hours stay at Fair
view to making preparations for his
long journey, which calls for an al
most limitless number of speeches.
From East st. Louis Mr.. Bryan and
party will travel in special car for
the remainder of the trip, which will
conclude at Lincoln on the night of
November 2.
Accompanying him are Mrs. Bryan,
Private Secretary Ross, Mayor Brown

WAR AvERTED; PEACE
DOVE HOvERS CLOSE
continued from Page one


donia is regarded here as due to
mistake on Bulgaria's part in calling
out three series of reservists.
Some days ago the government sum
moned to the colors some $4,000 con-
scripts belonging to the same series
who for various reasons had been re-
tired from service.
These men were to join the army
on October 10, to undergo a course of
elementary training for enlistment.
Apparently the Turkish government
interpreted this as a grand levy, and
Turkeys nervousness is ascribed TO
this cause.
On learning of the bad effect the call
had upon Turkey and the other powers,
the Bulgarian government counter
manded the proposed enlistment.
The ministers profess serene conf
dence in the maintenance of peace, and
it is now evident that Bulgaria has not
the slightest thought of an aggressive
war.
Bulgaria is in position to mobilize
her forces thoroughly and speedily, and
therefore no active measures will be
undertaken unless Turkey gives evil
dence of manifest intentions to make
war by the transfer of any consider
able bodies of troops from Asia Minor.
In the meantime the situation Is un-
deniably precarious. 1t is reported
there will be intervention of the pow
ers in the commerce of Bulgaria for
the payment of Rumelian tribute, and
this is a disturbing factor. Business
is at a standstill here and the situation
is liable to drag until the conference
has been concluded.
Two delegates representing the Gem
trail Young Turks committee of Con-
stantinople arrived here on a peace
mission and have been received. Gar
Ferdinand returned here today from
Bistritza.

TERRIBLE TALES BROUGHT
OUT OF BURNED DISTRICTS

ALPENA, Oct. 1S.-Out of the burned
districts are now coming some of the
stories of the suffering and dangers
endured by those who survived the
flames.
Miss Cassie Howland had twenty-six
little children in her school near Mil
lersburg on Friday afternoon. At the
afternoon recess the air was smoky.
Half an hour later the woods about the
little school house were blazing
fiercely.
The children started for their homes,
but were compelled to go to a neigh
boring house for SHELTER.
Miss Howland says she could hardly
face the wind during the walk of a
quarter of a mile to her own home.
intense that the women were COM
PEELED to seek shelter in the cellar while
the men fought to save the house.
"Then," said Miss Howland, "refu-
gees who had escaped with their lives
by lying in the plowed field with their
faces buried in the dirt, began to ar
rive. They kept coming all through
the night all more or less burned in
their fight through the woods.
Brings Ashes of Sister
"a boy named Dust, one of the faTni-
ly of children which on Saturday was
reported burned, brought in the
charred remains of his little sister i'll
his pocket handkerchief.
His father and mother had already
arrived at our house.
Then another of their children; a
little girl, arrived, carrying a baby.
"The child's dress was completely
burned off, and her little body was a
mass of blisters."
But one fresh report of loss of life
came into Alpena today.
Henry Hines, his wife and two chill
dren are believed to have been cre-
mated on their farm near Cathro. Be
tween Metz and Rogers City seven
more bodies have been found, making
total of twenty-seven lives lost in
Presque Isle and Alpena counties.
Rogers City and South Rogers have
been saved. The village of Posen has
been in grave danger, but it's chances
to escape destruction are tonight
thought to be better.
Alpena Now Safe
Alpena is still surrounded by fire,
but is not in danger, unless the wind
shifts to the north.
Between 500 and 1000 men are con-
stantly on the fire line working to pro-
tect the city. Up to noon today forty
four dwelling houses and sixtyfiv
barns have been reported destroyed in
Alpena county alone.
Added to this is the loss in this
county of several thousand head of
live stock, sheds, Implements boats
and thousands of acres of hardwood
timber.
The smoke here today was so thick
that it was impossible to see across
the street
At a public meeting today a general
relief committee of twenty-five mem
bers was formed to take charge of
relief measures
The Detroit & MaclSinac railroad has
practically turned over its system to
the relief of the fire victims.
In addition to carrying free of charge
all supplies, every carpenter IN the EN-.
ploy of the road has been rushed into
the burned district to help build tenn
porary shacks for the homeless people.

Will Be Paid for Famous
CaraVansary

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 18.-Negotia-
tions are proceeding, it is said, for the
sale of Hotel Del Monte to syndicate
of English capitalists for a considera-
ton of between $2,5OO,O00 and $3,O00,0 900.
The deal as contemplated embraces
the purchase of the picturesque tourist

ground.
The prospective purchasers desire, it
is said, to operate the hotel in connec-
ton with a chain of tourist establish
ments in Canada.
The negotiations on behalf of the
syndicate have been conducted by De
Putron Glidden, British capitalist,
who, after spending several days in
this city, went to Del Monte last Fri
day.
Owners OF Estate
The Crocker estate owns a half in
terest in the Del Monte property and
the greater part of the remaining hold
ings are vested in the Stanford and
Searles estates.
On the board of the Pacific Improve
ment company, which controls the
property, H. G.. Platt and c. e. Green
have acted for the Crocker estate, 9.
G.. Lathrop for the Stanford estate and
Gen. 4. II. Hubbard for the Searles
interests.
Although all parties concerned are
observing great secrecy in the matter,
it is stated an agreement has almost
been reached.
1t is understood the completion of
the deal rests on the decision of the
prospective buyers as to whether they
can see profit in the operation Of
the hotel without too great an ex-
penditure in rehabilitation and adver-
tisement.

Candor

The colonel had demonstrated vigor-
ouslv with Uncle Eph about the old
darky's persistent excursions into the
state Of inebriation.
Uncle Eph, though he promised faith
fully to refrain from frequent dips into
the flowing bowl, failed to live up to
the colonel's expectations.
ON numerous occasions the colonel
saw Eph under the influence of liquor,
but the darky when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation, affirm
ing emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the colonel met Uncle
Eph in a condition which made it plain
