JANE ADDAMs FOR PRESIDENT.
suffraests Suggest Woman as Ma
tlonal Housekeeper

BOSTON, August 10.-Jane Adams
future. president of the United States.
This will he the slogan before many
months have passed, according to the
advocates of equal suffrage and Bos-
ton has been chosen as the starting
point of startling and novel COM
paign.
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell says
that no better national housekeeper
than Jane Adams of Chicago could
be found, and her opinion is shared
by Boston suffragists, who are prepar-
ing to work with might and main or
the election of Miss Adams.
"A woman president would be quite
as competent to attend to the national
duties as a man." said Miss Blackwell.
There have been women rulers of
countries before now and many Of
them stand out in history as notable
for their good judgment and strong,
intelligent minds"
Miss Blackwell is very much in
earnest in her advocacy of Jane Ad-
dams for the presidency and is sure
that the National Suffrage Associa-
ton would turn out in a body for a
torchlight parade and stump speeches
to help about her campaign.

$173, 126,075 in 1902 and in 1907 $244,-
607 900. The outstanding par value
in 1902 was $162, ,525, and in 1907,

ed for salaries and wages S17,S0S. 249,

1907, only II paid dividends, although
| the total receipts of the telegraph
companies exceeded those for 1902 by
$40, 659,S90 There were but five COM
pantes not operated at a profit, and
their combined loss was only $1S,652.
The report shows the extent to which
this industry is controlled by a few
companies, there being six reporting
97.7 per cent of the total income and
945 per cent of the operating ex-
pense. In 1902 the six largest COM
panies reported SO per cent of the
total income and expenses.
The ocean cables increased their
nautical mileage 1776 per cent from
1902 to 1907, owing to the laying of
the Pacific and the New York-Ha-
vana cables.
Telephones and Train Dispatching.
The statement is made that the use
of telephones by railroads exclusively !
in connection with the operation of |
the roads has increased rapidly since /
1902. Although the electric interur-
ban roads early recognized the ad- !
vantages of the telephone for dis
hatcping purposes, the larger steam |
railroads have been disinclined to |
substitute the telephone for the long |
established telegraph, the general OBJ
lection bling that of the liability to !
mistakes through the similarity in !
sound of different words when trans
mitted by telephone.
Wireless Systems.
The bulletin points out that it gives
the first statistics for the commercial
wireless systems already established,
and states that they we're operated at
a loss of 1928 in 1907.
There were six commercial wireless
telegraph systems in 1907. operating

CAMP MITCHELL
 IS NOW DESERTED
ENCAMPMENT COMES TO END ONE DAY EARLIER THAN WAS PLANNED-oFFIcERs PLEASED WITH EVERY FEATURE.

Anniston. July 4.-(special)-Due to the objection of Gov. B. B. Conner to breaking camp on Sunday, and to the call of the men to the fields, Camp R.. A. Mitchell came to an end today, one day earlier than had been planned, the various companies of the Third regi- ment returning to their homes to re- sume business duties next week.
 The Gadsden Albertville Blrming- ham, Woodlawn, Decatur and Athens companies left on the early train at 6:45. The Florence company left over the Southern at 10 o'clock, the Talla- dega, Sylacauga and Alexander City companies leaving over the southbound Louisville and Nashville at 10 o'clock.
 Colonel McKleroy said this morning that he considered the encampment at Oxford Lake the best that has ever been held in the state, and he says this view was shared by every member of the governors staff. Major Thurston, U. S. A, spoke particularly of the sanita- tion, which he considered unparalleled in any camp he has ever visited. Tn ere were about 800 men and officers In the camp, Oxford having the largest com pany with S2 enrolled. Excellent order was maintained throughout the en- campment it being a particular aim of Colonel Mckleroy to maintain high moral standing among the men under his command. He has been eminently successful in this respect in the past, and the encampment here was no exception, there being only one or two incidents of an untoward char acter during the outing.
 Owing to the early decampment the proposed practice march was aban- doned and the field day exercises were given only in part, John Hugar, cor poral of the Anniston company, being awarded the prize for the best drilled man in the camp. The drill was con- ducted by Lieutenant Bennett, U. S. A. Majors Smith, Gregory and Long.
 The men received their money yes terday afternoon from Gen. Bibb Graves, who left this morning with Major Thurston to join Governor Co., mer and staff at Eufaula, where the cavalry squadron Is enoamped. Imme- diately after the camp broke up Colonel McKleroy removed to his home for the day the strenuous labor of camp life having caused a slight indisposition.
 Several members of the regiment were entertained at supper last night by w. A. Darden, lieutenant of Com pany D, and afterward a dance was given for the officers at the lake pavilion.
