TROUSERS BETRAY, HER
Suffragette, Disguised as Messenger
Boy. Almost Reaches Asauith.

London, Dec. 15.-The suffragettes
are deeply disappointed by their fail
ure to interrupt yesterdays great lib
eral meeting. The discovery just at
the inner door of Albert Hall of one of
their members disguised as a messen-
ger boy, calmly walking in, was a
bitter blow, she was SO nearly trium-
phant, being only found out because
she forgot to have red stripes on her
trousers, as the usual messenger boys
have.
Mr.. Asquith's feeble allusion to
woman suffrage has not allayed any
of the suffragette wrath against him.
they refusing to consider it seriously.
Even liberal women are indignant,
and desperate plans are being made
to defeat the liberal candidate at any
cost.
Many families are divided against
Themselves. In some cases a father
Is running for parliament and his
wife and daughters are working
against him. The new society, "the
younger suffragists," now numbers
100 girls under 20. With Lady Betty
Balfour as guide, they bad their first
public meeting Friday.

Lopdon, Dec. &5.-That Count Ber-

lomat and courfter, is assiduous in his
attentions to Mrs. Elsie French Van
derbllt, there isano doubt. Whether
these attentions fare considered ser:
iously by her remains to be seen. !
Mrs. Vanderbilt spent a couple of
days at Windsor after visiting her
sister, Lady Cheylemore, and on the
evening Of her return she dined and
went to the theiter with the count.
It is said that she is contemplating
a visit to Berlin,for about Christmas,
and her. friends ARE, of course, busily
limiting that there is more than dip
lomacy in general in the visit. :

MARTYRS TO SCIENCE
MANY BRAVE, MEN DIE FOR
CAUSE of WORLDS
PROGRESS.

London, Dec. 15.-The heoric story
Of the death of DR.. John Herbert
Wells, who recently. succumbed to
glanders, after eighteen months of
suffering, adds another name to the
ever-growing list Of MEN who have
laced martyrdom In the cause Of sci
sntific knowledge for the welfare of
heir fellow-men.
Early scientists, like. Calico, suffer-
sr prosecutions for their enlighten-
nent. and various seekers after the
Iecret Of the transmutation Of metals
Or Of perpetual motion are said to
have blown themselves to pieces in
heir search for scientific truth. But
with the vast strides which, science.
Ind in particular medical science--has
made in more recent years the roll of
martyrs in the cause of knowledge
has rapidly increased. Nowadays
every research student in a hospital
,arries his life in his hands, and here
and there science is claiming her
,acrifice.
Died Like q Soldier.
Less than three months ago the
death was recorded in Paris, of DR..
Jacques Antoine Regnier, son of a
leading member of the Academy of
Medicine. who contracted blood pois-
oning while conducting a post-mor-
tenn examination in the Necker hos
pital. On his deathbed he urged his
friends not to grieve, for" he said,
II die like soldier on a battlefield; /;
when you take up the medical career
you are aware of the dangers, and
must be ready ever to face them" /"
Such are the sentiments which ami
mate most of the men who devote
their lives to the cause of science,
which is the cause Of mankind.
Eighteen months ago patient in
quarantine at Sinapore died, and a
post-mortem examination became nec-
essary to determine the cause of
death. Two doctors-Dr. Raikes and
DR.. Wray-both government medical
officers. and therefore bound by the
duty as well as by the call of science
discharged the perilous task. Both
men contracted the plague. Both men
died. Death on q battlefield might
seem more merciful.
The death Of DR.. Allan Macfadyen,
the bacteriologist, in London. two
years ago, was due to combination
of two diseases which he contracted
in the course of his search for q pre-
ventitiye of disease. Dr.. Macfadyen
was connected with the Lister Insti-
tute, and was conducting a series Of
experiments with the bacteria Of ty-
phoid and Malta fever, with the view
Of discovering q vaccine to prevent
these diseases. BY an accident. 1t is
believed, he contracted both. and his
name was added ta.the roll Of mar

"JOKER" FOUND IN MEAT
INSPECTION ORDINANCE

Although the health board recon-
mended meat inspection ordinance
passed by the council Tuesday. Mayor
Alexander refused to sign the ordi-
nance yesterday and will withhold his
signature until further investigation is
made. An unntentional Joker" in the
ordinance limits the powers of the
health department.
The ordinance provides for the in
spection and condemnation of meat and
fish. 1t contains sanitary regulations
and these sanitary regulations are in
terwoven with the matter of inspec-
ton.
Section 10 declares provided, that
none of the provisions of this ordi-
nance shall apply to smoked and salt
meats and fish"
The intention of this section was
that the same sanitary regulations
were not required for cured meats that
were necessary for fresh meats but Ii
has the effect of limiting the powers of
the health department to inspect cured
meats and to condemn such meats thai
are unfit for food.

STATE SENATOR SUED
FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL
ACTION CAUSED BY REMARKS
MADE IN LEGISLATURE
Suit Is Instituted by Thomas {. Glib
bon, Whose Explanations and
Demands for Retraction
Were Ignored

w. H. Savage, state senator was yes
terday made defendant in an action for
criminal libel, instituted by Thomas E.
Gibbon. The action is the outgroWth of
alleged libelous statements made by
Senator Savage in the state senate in
February, in which he attacked Mr..
Gibbon. whose efforts to set Mr. Savage
right and demands for a retraction
were alike ignored.
The statements were made by Sen
ator Savage February Is last, and were
contained in the senate journal of that
date under the caption, Question of
Personal Privilege" Mr. Gibbon was
accused by the senator of having sold
secrets and robbed the Salt Lake road
in the purchase Of land for right-of-
way purposes, and. in addition, Savage
asserted, Mr.. Gibbon, while a stock
holder of the City bank of Los Angeles,
placed hiSnote for thousands of dollars
in that institution, stating that when
the bank failed, the note was sold for
$40 to a school teacher who was com
PEELED to sue Mr.. Gibbon for collection
of this money.
Three days after the statements were
made, Mr. Gibbon wrote to Senator
Savage denying the latter's accusa-
lions, which he designated as absolute
ly and unqualifiedly false and consti-
tuting a criminal libel off the most ag-
graYated character, against which he
would be forced to protect himself I'M
less the senator rendered the simple
justice of having the remarks eX-
plunged from the senate records.
Mr.. Gibbon also explained fully his
connection with the Salt Lake rail-
road as attorney. denying that he had
any interest In any land sold to it or
that he had betrayed any secrets of
the road.
There was absolutely no foundation,
said Mr.. Gibbon in his letter. for Sen
ator Savage's statements concerning
his connection with the City bank; that
he was never a stockholder of the in
stitution, and that the only note given
by i'm to the bank was fully paid and
the cancelled note returned to him.
Nh Gibbon also referred Senator
Savage to persons who would corro-
borate what he said in his letter, but
the communication was utterly ignored.

TRIAL OF CITY OFFICIAL AT
OAKLAND ENLlVENED
STAR WITNESS SAYS HE HATED
TO GIVE MONEY
Important Testimony Brought Out Re-
Veals Nature of Transactions
Between Official and
Corporation
rBy Associated Press.l

STOCKTON, May 12.-In the trial of
City Councilman w. 7. Shepard, VINO
is charged with malfeasance in office,
the prosecution apparently made little
progress this morning.
c. D. Clark, manager of the Califor-
MIA Navigation and Improvement com
pany, a corporation which Shepard is
alleged to have coerced into buying a
share of worthless stock in a company
in which he was largely interested, re-
sumed the tsand as the first witness
of the day. He was cross examined
briefly by counsel for the accused and
referred to as the star witness of the
prosecution.
The cross-examination did not elicit
any additional facts. on redirect eX-
animation the district attorney drew
from the witness the statement that
when he loaned Shepard 500 last Sep
TENDER the transaction was distastefui
to him.
Other witnesses were Sidney Newell.
president of the navigation company,
and A. P. Frazer, cashier of the same
company.
Both denied that their company had
any interest in the share of stock.
1t was brought out by the prosech-
ton that Notwithstanding the 500 paid
Shepard by Clark was in the naturef OF
a loan, the amount had not been with
nelQ Dy OldIk rum IIoACy Peiu DHSP
ard for work performed for the naYiga-
ton company.
A. p. Frazer, secretary of the navi-
cation company, explained his failure
to enter up the amount at the time the
so-called loan was made, and his entry
of the amount at the time the grand
jury was investigating, by declaring
that he put it on the books then, as the
grand jury took the stock as evidence,
thus leaving him without voucher for
the amount.
Secretary *. c. Brueck of the Clark
and Henery Construction company tes-
titled that he had loaned Shepard 5000
of the companys money on his note.
Shepard being in sore need of the
money to save his home being unable
to get coin from the banks.
