Ignore Privileges-The failure
of women to use the cars reserved for
them on trains in the McAdoo tunnel

principle can be proved with scientific

BY this power most of our so-called
faith cures are made"

Defends MEMORY OF
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
NOTED NOVELIST DEN0UNCES
STATESMAN'S CRITIC
Gertrude Atherton Says Senator john
son Is TOO Insignificant to De-
serve Reply-Discusses
Attack

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4,-Alexan-
der Hamilton, whose memory was as
sailed in the senate yesterday by Sen
ator Johnson, has a stout defender IN
Gertrude Atherton, the novelist, VINO
made him the hero of her novel, The
Conqueror"
In a statement issued this morning
the author makes the following reply
to the structures of the North DaKotd
senator. ~
Really, this Senator Johnson is too
insignificant to deserve notice. ne
probably is radical and talking LOT tne
benefit of his constituents-they always
are when they say things of this sort.
1T do not believe he cares Two Genus
about the character of Alexander HAM
ilton. 1t is more than likely that ne
doesn't know anything about Hamll-
ton. He is the sort of man VINO tnlnks
this a good chance to have his yep
heard. 80, :
Jas to Alexander Hamilton being a
rake, well, every man was rake a. az
that time That was the convention OF
the time. and 1t was perfectly accepted
everywhere. In these days 1T happens
to be the convention not to be raklsn'
hut whether or not men are less raklsn
IS quite another question. There IS no
use combating the convention OF an
age, but you must not be found out.
Sins Buried with Him
alexander Hamilton has been 100
wears dead; his sins might be buried
with him. And posterity has lndorseo
him. The country today runs on HAM
iltonian wheels. A.. F..
Being rakish didn't detract from the
usefulness of Hamilton. Any nttle az
fairs he may have had were incloental ;
he never allowed them to interfere with
his career His wife condoned these
few little things and adored him. he
was a devoted husband and father.
''All the great men of his time looked
upon Hamilton as their great leader
He became famous in Europe long be-
fore Washington, and in Europe today
he is regarded as the greatest man
America has produced.
"The enemies of Hamilton made
abominably shocking plots to attack MS
financial honesty, but found 1t unas-
sailable. Surely if his integrity Is UNI
impeachable nobody has the right TO
attack his private life.
Really this latest attack is too con-
temptible to require answer. Must
man of Hamiltons time conform to the
convention of today? To doubt that
convention is justifiable; it prevents
Young men from plunging into dissi-
patton.
But at what cost is it enforced! A
scandal twenty-five years old has abb
solutely ruined the career OF Sir Charles
Dixie, acknowledged by all to be the
man of men in England to lead the
Liberal party. A convention has de-
stroyed him Parnell was ruined in
vtthe same way We have become so
deadly proper in the last fifty years."

TONOPAH, New, May 4.-The arrest
of w. f. Ford at Berkeley yesterday
on a Geographic request from the
sheriff here, followed the finding of a
secret indictment against him by the
Nye county grand jury last Friday. 1t

Indians, Peavine Johnny and Jim Har-
rington, who discovered mine in the
clifford district. Under the state law
the Indians were unable to locate and
hold the discovery and took two broth
ers named Clifford into a partnership.
Later the Cliffords sold the property
and the Indians brought suit for their
share of the proceeds.
A compromise was affected, the In
dams receiving notes for $500. These,
it is alleged, were placed in Ford's
hands for collection. 1t is charged
that after making the collection last
September, Ford departed for Berkeley
with the money.

FEARS HIS COUSIN
EL0PED WITH WIFE
VIM. II. Lane of Colorado Here to
Hunt Her and His Babies
Disappeared Sunday.

William II. Lane. a wealthy con-
tractor in charge of $1,000 900 con-
struction work at the great Standley
Lake reservoir, in Colorado. arrived in
Salt Lake City this morning from Den
yer, and asked the sheriff's office and
the police to assist him in locating
his wife and two children, aged y
and years. He believes that his wife
has run away with his cousin, James
g. Prudy, OF this city. who recently
listed Lane at the latter's home at
STANDBY Lake. for two weeks.
Mr.. Lane says that the only reason
he can assign for his conviction that
his cousin and his wife eloped Is that
both disappeared last Saturday.
II want TO find my wife and children.
l Will take her back, without even an
unkind word She is the mother of
my babies. That Is enough for me-"
he said.
Lane said that he learned from the
policemen OH duty at the Den. cr
Union depot that a woman and two
children of the ages of MT. Lanes S
passed through the depot gates last
Sunday, They were accompanied by q
man who answers the description of
Lanes cousin. Lane could not learn
positively where they went. but he
got hold of three strong clues which
led him to believe that Prudy had
returned here to settle up his affairs.
According to Lane. his wife and
children left their home at Standley
Lake last Sunday morning for Den
yer, his wife saying that she intended
visiting relatives at 144S Raleigh
street in that city. Mrs. Lane and the
children drove to Broomfield, Colo,
where they boarded a Denver & Inter
urban car for Denver and her hus-
band was able to trace her definitely
that far.
Lane says that mis- wife told him that
she would be home at 5 o'clock that
night. and when she failed to como
home, he went to Denver. On in
quiring at the home of her relatives,
whom she mad said she intended visit
ing. Lane learned that his wife had
not appeared there at all. His relatives
also told him that his cousin had
disappeared.
"Prudy will learn that my arm is
long. / shall follow him to the ends
of the earth. My business is nothing
to me now. 1 Will have but two OBJ
jects from now on. until both are
attained l shall f1nd my wife and
babies. I will never rest until 1 hunt
