WOMEN NEED VOTES.
DECLARES LECTURER
MISS TWINING OF COLORADO
SPEAKS ON SUFFRAGE
Experience In Denver and Many Other
Cities Shows the Benefits of
New System, She
Declares

Miss Luella Twining of Denver spoke
last evening before large audience at
Roosevelt hall, Walker theater build
mig, on MY Experience as a Voter in
Colorado" She was enthusiastically
received. She said in part:
"The idea of the emancipation of
woman has been born as a necessity
of existing conditions. Woman Is a
part of our industrial life. She con-
tributes her share to the betterment of
society. 1t is a fact that almost as
many women are employed as men.
She should have the ballot and voice
in determining the conditions under
which she shall work.
1.-THE Socialist party is the only par
ty that has always stood for womans
suffrage. We want the ballot not for
it's own sake, but for the emancipation
of the working class. Many ask IL
woman suffrage is a success in Colo
RADIO. There woman suffrage is a mat
ter of course. Just as well ask in
Colorado, rs manhood suffrage sue
cess?
Women in Colorado comprise As per
cent of the population and contribute
so per cent of the vote. No senator
nor representative in Colorado would
dare to work for the abolition of
woman suffrage. He would commit po-
litical suicide by so doing. In Colorado
states where they cannot vote.
Frances Willard became Socialist
because she saw it was of no use to
build homes to rescue fallen girls with
the system making them by the thou
sands every day The great machine
is displacing labor rapidly. Thousands
of men and women are thrown cut of
employment every day. The only hope
is for the working class to take pos
session of the factory, mines and mills
and run them for use and not for
profit This change must come through
the ballot Therefore the ballot is a
necessity for woman"

such a fund being established, but in
spite of the fact that such was one of
the preliminary purposes of the organ
ization of the league, recently and over
her vigorous protest the league has in
sisted ON collecting licenses from the
poor and in many instances overlooking
the unlicensed dogs of the rich.
For these reasons we respectfully
resign from the league, TO take effect

Calls Charges Ridiculous

According to young Archer, his step
mother left between $4,000 and $4,000 in
real estate at the time of her death,
and Mr.. Archer, her husband, was ap-
pointed administrator after a bitter
fight on the part of the two daughters
to prevent the appointment.
Mr.. Archer stated that at the time
in their endeavors to prevent his ia
theirs appointment the daughters made
ridiculous charges.
Judge Rives, before whom the case
was heard, overruled all objections
made by the daughters and gave Mr..
Archer his papers as administrator of
the estate. The settlement of the es-
tate is now under way.
Mr. Archer, the husband, is real
estate dealer with offices at Pico street
and Harvard boulevard, and is per-
turbed over the dispatches emanating
from Galesburg. The only source of in
formation received by Mr.. Archer his
sons or his attorney, Edwin A. Me-
serve, has been from newspaper dis
patches, and for that reason he will
not discuss the case until he has re-
ceiVed some official word
Mrs. Archer had been i'll about six
months prior to her death. Following
the death the body was embalmed and
was sent to Oneida, near GaleSburg, for
burial. Mr.. Archer did not accompany
the body, owing to his advanced age
and the severe eastern climate.
Mrs. Archer had lived in Los Angeles
three years, at 1406 Harvard boulevard
The affair has not been reported Of
ficially to the Los Angeles district at
torney's office, so that no action in Los
Angeles as yet is being taken in the
matter. Whatever Investigations or
legal steps contemplated are being car
ried out by the district attorney Of

WOMAN HOLDS LAND
AGAINST COMPANY
CORPORATION IN DIFFICULTY
NEAR LAUREL CANYON
Mrs. chaIender Has Barriers Erected
and Supervisors and District
Attorney Are Drawn
into Controversy

Lookout Mountain Park, Land and
Water company, which has extensive
real estate holdings in the country ad-
| Jacent to Laurel canyon, is in a predic-
ament owing to shotgun guard said
to be maintained by Mrs. A. NJ Chal-
ender, who owns adjacent property The
matter was carried to the superior
court yesterday when the land compa-
ny filed an action to restrain Mrs. Chal-
ender from interfering with it's agents,
who are seeking to pipe water from a
spring, half of which, it is claimed, lies
in the territory controlled by the COM
pany.
The land company's property fronts
on Wonderland avenue, part of which
was constructed by the company and
the remainder by the county. That por-
ton built by the land company was
turned over to the county and accepted
by the supervisors in December of last
year. but when an effort was made to
use the roadway Mrs. Chalender caused
barriers to be erected and when the
land companys men essayed to scale
these it is said they were met with an
order to desist reinforced by the con-
vincing muzzle of a shotgun.
Refusal by Supervisors
The matter was taken to the super
Visors, who were asked to take some
action because the road over which
the guard was maintained had been
decided by the company to the county.
The supervisors refused on the ground
that they did not know whether the
title claimed by the company was val
id. Then the district attorney was in
formed. He told the land company
agents to take the matter back to the
supervisors. The board again refused
to take any steps until an abstract OF
title to the roadway could be shown.
The injunction suit filed yesterday
was the next step taken by the land
company, and in addition to the re-
quest for a restraining order Mrs.
Chalender will be asked to prove her
title to the land in dispute.

SAYS HE is NOT CONNECTED
WITH RAILROAD COMPANIES.

Frank MacKean, who is in Water
vile this week with surveyors with
the purpose of taking over the
building and operation of the Wa
terville-Douglas line, in a letter to
the Daily World states that he is in
no way connected with any trans

World, in little story from a resi-
dent engineer of this city, stated that
Mr.. MacKean was thought to be con-
nected with the North Coast road.
The letter from this gentleman is as
follows:
To the Editor of the Daily World.
/ note in your issue of Tuesday,
September IA, an interview purport-
ing to come from a resident engineer
of your city whereby he accredits me
with being a representative of the
North Coast railway.
While / appreciate the acumen of
the aforesaid engineer and will ad-
NIT that his logic is fairly good in
the premises, / am sorry to state
that at this time, and at no time dur
ing my operations relating to the
acquisition and development of the
several projects which are now In
process of consummation, have I
been associated in any way what
soever with either the North Coast
railway or any of it's affiliated inter-
ests, either financial or otherwise.
The splendid work that Mr.. Rob-
ert Strahorn has done in the field of
railroad promotion and engineering
h. ,@n4o of hi rrf@ hoe
stamped him as one of the foremost
railroad promoters of the northwest,
and / would consider it an honor
and esteem it a very profitable ar
rangement If ! could truly say that
the allegations and differences con-
tanned in your article above referred
to were correct, but l will be COM
PEELED in truth and candOr to again
state that such is not the case. The
kind words of your engineer as to
my past affiliations I accept with the
proper appreciation. but / beg to
state that I am in no way connected
with any of the present transconti-
mental Or trunk line railways in the
projects that / now have on hand.
I am making this statement to you
| for the purpose of placing myself
squarely before the public in this
matter. and I thank you in advance
for the favor of giving it the same
publicity which you gave the item
above referred to.
For your further i Information /
would state that the Brown-Chelan
| Falls proposition is only Sc foot
head instead of 100 foot head as
stated in your article.
Very truly yours,

FORMER DANISH
MINISTER
COL. CLARKE E. CARR, NOTED
CITIZEN OF ILLINOIS, SPENT
YESTERDAY IN CITY-MAY BE-
COME A RESIDENT OF COUNTY

Wenatchee yesterday afternoon en-
tertained Col. Clarke E. Carr, an ap-
pointee of President Harrison as
minister to Denmark, where he
served a number of years. Colonel
Carr, who has spent some time at
the Seattle exposition. came over to
Chelan county with the idea of max
ing it his summer home anyway. A
son spent some weeks this summer
in hunting and fishing on Lake Che
Ian and he became so enraptured
over the Chelan country that he
wrote his father to make visit with
the idea of building summer home
on Lake Chelan. Colonel Carr left
his wife and daughter in Seattle and
went up on the boat this morning
for the purpose of investigating the
merits of the Switzerland Of Amer
ica."
Colonel Carr is one of the old time
politicians of Illinois. He knew inti-
mately Lincoln, Douglas, Stanton,
Logan and other noted men who have
helped to make American history. His
later years have been devoted to
writing. One of his best known
works is entitled "Illini," a remin-
iscence of the state of Illinois.
DR.. D. w. King of this city has
known of Colonel Carr for great
many years. Twenty-eight years ago
when DR.. King was delegate for the
first time to state convention, he
was a fellow member with Colonel
Carr of the Peoria, Illinois, conven-
tion. Richard Oglesby was candi-
date for a third term of governor OF
Illinois. The tide seemed to be turn
ing against Oglesby and strong oppo-
sition developed from all over the
state. At the opportune moment
Colonel Carr, then in the prime OF
life AMI a magnetic orator, addressed
the convention and turned it towards
Oglesby. DR.. King stated that since
he heard him in this convention for
the first time he has kept in touch
with Colonel Carr and has a great
respect for his ability.
Mrs. Carr and daughter will ar
rive here next Monday from Seattle
and will be met by Colonel Carr, who
will come down the river and go back
with them to Chelan.
