FEW WOMEN BOXERS.
Jiu-Jitsu Said to Be More Efficient for
Feminine Defense from
Rowdies.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-"Girls
should be taught boxing so that they
may be qualified to defend themselves
against attacks by men, which have be-
come so common of late. Woman has
the same weapons for defending herself
that man has, and a little instruction
in the manner of using them would en-
able her to beat off brutal assailants. ~
This statement, recently made by Dr.
Maude GLASGOW, a New York physician
was challenged yesterday by Wilma
Berger, a teacher of physical culture for
women.
Miss Berger, who lives at $50 South
port avenue distinguished herself q
short time ago by throwing a highway

the ground with such force that he was
willing to let her escape.
She is master of jiu-jitsu, and she
believes that this is the logical art fol

son to cope with stronger and heavier
opponent.

enter into vigorous sport to develop the

necessary to fist fighting, and unless q
woman were exceptionally strong she
could not hit a man hard enough tc
injure him.
''Jiu-j itsu, on the other hand, is a
science of leverage. 1t teaches the

value to a woman.

back in his old haunts almost before
the soldiers had returned. The govern

house and there he remained until death.
His wife was a saving woman and 1t

The second stage Of the pilgrimage was

navigation of the Wisconsin river before

people made the frontier village a live

his holdings high, where the railroad de-

miles above. He bought tract Of land

CHINAMAN IN PROTEST,
Montana Laundryman Objects to Tax
Law and Supreme Court Will Pass
Upon the Case

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 81
The constitutional right Of a state to
enact laws discriminating against the
humble Chinese laundryman is to be in
yestigated by the supreme court of the
United States and the test is to be made
by Quiog Wing of Lewis and Clarke
county, Montana.
The Montana law to which Quong
takes exception provides for a license
fee of $40 per quarter for hand laun-
dries run by men. It does not mention
the Chinese race, but 1t exempts steam
laundries and laundries conducted by
gagged.
Quong paid his license under protest
and then appealed to the courts. The
Montana supreme court sustained the
law.

Engages Milwaukee Attorney to Collect
Money Received from Sale of His

field in February, 1907, and was sup
posed to have been a victim of Belle
Guinness, the Indiana ogress, is alive.
He has turned up at Fairfield. Clay
county, Neb., and has made claim in
county court here for money due him
from the sale of the farm, which is In
the hands of the clerk of courts. In his
affidavit as to his identity, filed in coun.
ty court, Riedinger names Judge Emil
Wallber, Milwaukee, as his attorney and
empowers him to collect the money for
him
In December. 1906, Riedinger bought
an SO-acre farm in the town of Delaheld
from John Williams. Jr., for $500. To
secure the unpaid balance he executed
three mortgages, one to John Williams,
,Jr., for 5000 one TO Mrs. Williams, ST.,
for $1,000, and one to Mary Jones OF
Wales, for $4,000. On February 3,
1907, he disappeared.
Whereabouts Were Mystery.
His whereabouts were mystery, but
he had confded in neighbors that he in
tended going to some town in Indiana to
marry a woman with whom he had be
come acquainted through a matrimonial
advertisement. A few days later a
neighbor, Gabriel HeinZelman, who was
caring for his livestock during his abb
sence, received letter postmarked Chi
cago, purpOrting to come from Rledlnger,
stating that he had changed his mind
about getting married and had gone
west The letter was unsigned and
HeinzeIman was of the opinion that
Riedinger was not the author: Before
leaving Riedinger borrowed $500 from
friend and collected several milk
checks. Following his disappearance
an investigation was made by the Ger.
man consul, Chicago but no trace OF
him could be found.
When the tragedies of the Guinness
| farm came to light, friends of Riedinger
| felt sure that he had fallen victim to
| the wiles of the Indiana murderess and
| he had been mourned as dead. Two OF
! the mortgages on his farm were fore
| closed and July 81, 1907, the farm was
sold for 5000. Out of the proceeds OF
the sale interest, costs and other ex.
penses were paid and a balance OF

Riedinger also authorizes his attorney tc
