engaged in other thrilling stunts

awarded at least $4,000 to spend
on their hospital. And after
they had extended their energies,
and not little money, working
for the success of the enterprise,
they were CURLY informed by the
circus men that the receipts had
been too small to leave anything

BARNARD TO WOMEN
Stands for Them as Members
of Education Board.

Otto T. Barnard told the members OF the
Womans Republican Club at the meeting
which followed their luncheon at the Wal
dorf-Astoria yesterday that he stood for
women on the Board of Education.
If competent ones can be found to
serve he said, and I know they can.
knew Of the work of women on the dis
trtct school boards when I was member
OF the Board Of Education, and II was
splendid work. 1 can't say now just how
many women there should be on the board.
but certainly there should be some"
Mr.. Barnard urged his hearers to see
that their husbands voted in the COM
ing election. The East Side man. he
said. lis keen about getting out and
casting his vote. The Fifth avenue man is
apt to neglect that duty. The way that
clean men will stay away from the polls,
saying, oh, there's no use; we can't beat
Tammany, is sickening to me. If I had
my way I'd impose a fine of 800 on every
man who failed TO vote, and send him to
jail for at least ten days. Now, you have
a responsibility in this election. II any one
OF you finds your husband inclined TO shirk
the function of voting you can show him
his mistake.
Il expect to be your Mayor the speak
er added, expect it because I believe in
the intelligence of the people. I haven't
much time, but want 10 tell you that We
stand for good schools and we don't want
10 keep the children standing. We stand
for clean streets I know you women
won't clean streets, but 1 think it's more
important to keep Rivington street clean
than it is to keep Fifth avenue clean. II
you had gone down, as I have. TO Riving
ton street and seen how the street is, the
Gh!ldren's home and playground there, you
would say So too"
Mr. Barnard had an enthusiastic vel
come from his audience, which he recipro-
Gated by telling them how glad he was to
have this interval of rest in the midst
of his strenuous campaign.
Edward r. Finch. chairman of the Vol
unteer Watchers Committee who was on
the programme to tell the women how
bad men rolled up false majorities, came
in very late and a trif1e flustered. 1t APP
peared that Mr.. Finch, not being learned
in the earmarks of the different women's
clubs had strayed by mistake into the
meeting of the College WomenS Club on
the other side of the hotel and sat there
for an hour patiently waiting to be called
to the platform. Some kind person set
him on the right track in time TO enable
him to tell the Republican women the
great need there IS for honest watchers
at the polls.
Mrs. William Cumming Story presided.
Mrs. Robert Z. Mckee, daughter OF Presi-
dent Harrison, an honorary member OF the
club, occupied a seat on the platform.

pathy. Perhaps Prince Ito's death
causes more widespread grief because
he was idolized by the masses as the
great counsellor OF the Elder States
men, the creator of the Cabinet and the
friend Of the Emperor himself.
The boy Crown Prince of Corea is re-
ported to have been inconsolable when
the news OF the assassination Of his
aged grand tutor by Coreans was broken
TO him. For the last two years tie
Crown Prince has been a resident Of
japan and the frequent companion Of
Prince Ito, who formed an affection for
him which was warmly reciprocateI.
The fact that he was assassinated bv
Coreans was especially shocking to the
youth, who was well informed as 10
Prince Ito's plans regarding Corea.
When the Foreign Office received the
news it Immediately informed the mem
bers OF the Cabinet, many of whom,

included General Terauchi Minister ~

inquirers, these including all the dipIo-
mats accredited TO Japan, among whom
the prince was highly popular.
Late in the afternoon the foreign am
bassadors and diplomats, with members
of the Cabinet, gathered at the Foreign
Office. One Of the first Of the .dipIo-
mats to reach the Foreign Once was the
American Ambassador, Mr.. O'Brien. He
was Immediately followed by the Rus
sian Ambassador, NJ. Malevitch. Am
bassador O'Brien said: L have always
regarded Prince Ito is a really able man
and of great influence in Japan for the
last thirty years. Even among the high
est individuals his Influence has always
been for peace and progress I regard
the loss Of him at this particular iunct-
ure as particularly unfortunate"
Premier Katsura and Field Marshal
Prince Yamagata were among the high
officials who gathered in the reception
room Of the Foreign Office Count Ko-
mura, the Foreign Secretary, said that
he was unable TO express in words his
sorrow and the shock that the awful
tragedy had given him. Count Komura
went to the palace late in the afternoon
and carried the tidings TO the Emperor,
who showed unusual emotion and imme-
diateIy summoned the court chamber
lains and others Of the imperial house
hold. The Emperor sent a special mes
senger 10 DISC. charged with the duty Of
breaking the news to the Princess Ito.
Count Inouye. who is the Oldest and
closest friend Of Prince Ito, had remained
in Count Komura's room throughout the
afternoon awaiting further information.

said tomorrow for Tairen, where 1t will
receive the body Of Prince Ito and bring
