SOME MEN NEED

Statement of Miss 0'ReilIy at
an Equal Suffrage
Demonstration"

New York. Feb. 2S.-Throughout the
United States today, in every city in
which meeting could be arranged, there
was an equal suffrage demonstration
under the auspices of the Socialist party
and the Socialist women's societies. The
meetings were provided for at the nation
al conference of the Socialist party in
Chicago, which set Feb. Is aside as a
-womaB's suffrage day"
Two meetings were held here, one in the
Murray Hill Lyceum in Manhattan. the
other in Brooklyn. Prominent Socialists
and suffrs gists were present, and great
enthusiasm was manifested.
In the Manhattan meeting Miss Leona
O'Reilly, the Girl of the Tenements''
and prominent member of the Womsn's
Trade Union, denounced the women who
oppose equal suffrage
Miss O'Reilly was one OF those who
spoke before the judiciary committee Of
the assembly at Albany last week. She
said one of the legislators had spoken
flipDantly Of the quality OF women's
brains

expression by those who, while ready
to attack men in public, still have a re-
gard for the libel laws and seek to dis
credit without assuming the RESPONSE
bility for simple and direct accusations

Questions Higgins Honesty.
"As to the criticisms Mr.. Higgins
makes of the rules and the administra-
ton of them by the speaker, l need but
say his letter shows he knows moth
ing of what he writes. That will be
evident to any one who has ever stud
led the rules or observed carefully end
honestly their administration A man
who, without having studied the law or
pTacticed in the courts. should criticise
and denounce indiscriminately the law
and the courts, simply because he had
heard the complaints of lawyers who
had lost their cases, would receive from
the community the attention to which
his ignorance and his presumption fair
ly entities him. But it seems that any
one. after having sat at the feet of
persons dissatisfied with legislation, or
disgruntied because of the failure of
proposed legislation, may become a pa
triot and a molder of opinion by de-
nouncing the rules which adjust the

X. Wyman, of Port Huron. was injur-

The train left this city at 632 and
was bound for Saginaw and Bay City.
Rolling along at about 80 miles 1

made at Wadhaps, few miles awav,
It suddenly left the rails and plunged
into deep ditch. The locomotive

car and first coach. The last coach
was practically unchanged.
All the passengers, 30 in number.
were thrown from their seats amid
flying glass and splintered tlmbers
and irons They soon managed 20
extricate themselves. however.
How all but two escaped injury is
miraculous. Fortunately only three
or four women were aboard the train.
The injured man WAS picked from
the ruins and hurried TO Port Huron

Then the doors were locked, while

money on the tables-about $4,000.
He then proceeded to take the names
and addresses of verybody present,
and announced that prosecution

NEW MYSTERY IN THE
SARGENT FOUNDLIN0S

PARIS, March 24.-The latest de-
velopment in the famous Sargent case
came when a mysterious stranger ar
rived from Brussels and claimed little
Stephanie, who was supposed to be the
daughter OF washerwoman at Yer
sailes, as his own child, confided to
Josephine Savin Sargent in the Bel
gian city
As has already been stated, all tho
children given TO the Sargents have
been identified, so the Judge of instruc-
ton. Monsieur Bourgeuil, who L. con-
Quoting the case, was nonplussed at
the advent OF the Brussels woman.
She demanded to see the prisoner
and when. brought before Josephine
Sargent said:
Yes. that is the woman TO whom
gave the child. | recognize her per.
fectly"
To which Josephine replied:
THAT is very strange, for | never
have seen you before and never have
been in Brussels In my life"
The judge then opened a new inves-
tigation. which proved that the woman
from Brussels was either mistaken or
simply an impostor. and the child
really was the daughter of the washer
woman Of Versailles.
The public feeling, which once ran
high against the Sargents. is subsiding.
owing to the splendid work Of the
police in so quickly tracing and
proving the identity of all the unfo--
tunate little ones.

0RMSBEE LIQUOR
BILL IS PULLED
BACK IN HOUSE
VOTE IS REcoNsiDEREp AFTER
COLBY SAYS ACTION Is NEcEs-
sARY so SUBJECT MATTER CAN
BE LeoIsLATED UPON.

LANSING, Mich. March 25.-The
statement by Rep. Colby that unless
the vote on the Ormsbee liquor bill
was reconsldered II would be a ques-
ton under the new constitution wheth-
er the same subject matter could he
legislated upon induced the legisla-
tors TO lay the measure on the table
after reconsidering the vote. Several
members declare they Will draft a
bill that will not show the influence
OF outsiders, prohibition or liquor. The
LIQUOR interests arc in a position -
stop the passage of any radical meas
ure. The prohibitionists, on the other
hand, do not want any regulation Of
the liquor traffic beyond that which
now obtains They prefer to hamper
anything that does not provide for
prohibition.
The defeat OF the Ormsbee bill is
charged principally to the failure or
the state administration to keep It's
promises TO the liquor interests when
the bargain was arranged whereby the
| liquor interests supported Gov. War
ner at the last primary and election.
Bad management Is also said to have
resulted disastrously to the liquor peo-
pie. They were anxious to secure leg
| islation that would keep the trafiic
within reasonable limits. and to de-
wise means to eliminate undesirables
from the business.
The house passed the following
bills on third reading: Increasing the
powers of trustees of religious organ
izations and providing for the incor-
poration OF the Eastern Star associa.
