FEMALE BANDITS ROB
VICTIMS IN SEATTLE

Seattle, June 30.--Lured into an al
ley between Sixth and Seventh ave-
nues and Seneca and University streets
early yesterday morning, Fred Shaw.
who lives at 2S19 First avenue. was
attacked by two female footpads, stab
bed several times by one of them, and
robbed of his money. The two wo-
men made their escape. Shaw was
sent to the city hospital. His conditl-
on is not serious, however. He sus-
tanned several cuts that may disfig-
ure him for life
Shaw was passing the alley when.
he says, a woman called to him. He
did not know what was the matter
and thought that possibly she might
be in distress. He went into the alley
and was accosted by the woman. She
grabbed him and proceeded to go
through his pockets.
He resisted, but she secured s95
and passed it to a second woman who
was with her.
Shaw grappled with the woman.
who showed she had the strength of
an ordinary man. He clung to her.
however, and she drew a knife from
her clothing when she saw that she
might be held.
1t was dark in the alley, and Shaw
lid not know the woman had the
Knife until he felt the steel cut into
he flesh of his face. Before he
'ouid get out of the way she had cut
linn several times about the head and
ace. He was put out of the fighting
emporarily. and before he could get
way the woman had disappeared.

others, however, the government is
made the defendant and it will be
necessary for him to make argu-
ments in these.
1t is McCourt's intention to clean
up all the old business in his office
before the first of next year and
this Indian business comes under
that head. This determination on
the part of the federal attorney will
necessitate some hustling on the part
OF himself as well as the many at
torneys who represent the hundreds
Of clients who are interested.
Some of the land that is held up
by litigation is among the richest
and most desirable wheat land on
the reservation. The ending of the
litigation will result in a smpllfica-
ton of tine work of the Indian agent
in the matter of making payments.

New York, June 30-Sudden ac-
tivity of the police detailed to search
for Leon Ling, the supposed slayer
of Elsie Sigel, was learned today to
be due to the belief that six China
men are implicated in the crime, four
actually participating. and two act
ing as accomplices.
Some of these are supposed to be
in hiding in New Jersey, and forty
detectives were sent among the ori-
entails in that state yesterday. One
report says the girl became too IA

the Chinese secrets and probably
was killed on that account.

say they will help clear out the tene-
ment districts Of the cities and move
them to rural homes where they can
develop in mind and body? Slum
life IN the cities begets criminals be-
cause of the environment. In the
country the children of the slums
can be developed into strong physical
and mental manhood and woman
hood with no greater percentage of
criminals than are usually found in
the rural regions, because of the lack
Of criminal environment.
Mr.. Brisbane refers to Lincoln who
was raised in a cabin, but Lincoln is
only one of thousands of great
Americans who lived in poverty on
the farm in early life. That is, they
thought it poverty, but few of them
ever went hungry. People in the
rural regions do not go hun
CRY. They are too close to
natures supply to go hungry.
But suppose that Lincoln and other
great Americans who lived in coun-
try log cabins, wore coonskin caps,
and filled their stomachs with Johnny
cake had lived in the slums of the
cities, such as you describe in New
York, Mr.. Brisbane, how many of
them do you suppose the country
would ever have heard of? How
many statesmen, scholars, poets, law
yers, historians and men of great dis
tinction in any line of human en-
deavor came up from the slums of

pie pretend to be Christians and
that perhaps two-thirds of those who
do pretend to be, are hypocrites, who
never put any Christianity in their
lives further than parading them
selves once week in the church con-
gregation. My point is that we ought
not to carry to foreign people what
our own people so distressingly need.
Did you know that one of the for
eign boards has recently published a
report in which they boast of the fact,
that they gave free medicine and
free medical and free surgical at
tentiOn to one hundred and twen-
ty-seven thousand heather last
year? Did you know that they are
furnishing free medicine, and free
medical attention of the very best sort
to the sick people throughout the
Orient, and throughout Central and
South America and throughout Mex
leo and Cuba? Did you know that
they are giving free secular educa-
ton to heather children, in mission
schools and colleges, when the gov
ernments of heather countries are
extending to their children splendid
facilities for education, and that,
therefore, the mission schools take
away from the governments of Japan,
of China and of India the privilege
of educating their own children?
Did you know that they take these lit
tie heather children away from their
destitute parents-just as early as
parental care is no longer a physical
necessity-and that they support
these little heather children in all
of the comforts of the best of cloth
ing and food? They train the minds
and bodies of these little heather
children until the girls are married
off, and until the boys are given good
jobs. Don't you think that it is a
shame that we have no such establish
ment in our own land, or, at least,
that we need ten thousand of such

WHY MIR. WATSON DID NOT GIVE.
Concluded from Page y

bic to make any contribution, the
Board, it would seem, gave out the
facts at once.
My losses, this year and last, have
been heavy For the first time in
many years, it has been necessary
for me to borrow large sums. Fas-
tened to my literary and editorial
work, it has been impossible for me
to get out and earn money, 1ecturing
Or practising law. Consequently, at
the time the Atlanta Board" made
it's application to me, had no funds
at all. But during this year l have
given away more than $500, every
cent of which was borrowed money.
It seems to me that each of us has
the right to decide how much he
can afford to give. We should also
be permitted to select those objects
of charity which appeal most power
fully to us. No one can know our
circumstances and our expenses. as
we ourselves know them; and no one
can so we'll select the objects of be-
nevolence as we ourselves can do it.
In addition to the money that I am
constantly giving, L GIVE MYSELF.
This reform work done by the two
Jeffersonians, is Home Mission work.
In a high, noble and literal sense,
have devoted my whole time, for five
years, to Home Missions.
A friend remarked to me, the 9TH
err day, "Some people believe that you
will go to preaching"
"What else have I been doing, but
preaching?" I asked.
That's just it. There are various
ways Of preaching, and one of them
is my way. 1t is on that account that
such clergymen as E. J. Forester, A.
J. Lazenby, J. A. Scarboro, and many
others, realize that my conservation
to my work is akin to their conse-
Grafton to theirs.
During the five years which have
been devoted by me to this kind of
labor, could easily have made from
$4,000 to 100000, at lecturing and
at law. Every one who knows a
thing about it, knows that.
Therefore, you might say that, i'm
labor, I have given to Home Missions
at least $4,000 during the last five
years.
There is no money in such periodi-
calls as mine. They expose and COM
bat too many persons and things.
They will never make me any money,
for as fast as they earn clear profits,
these shall be used in widening the
field in which The Jeffersonians work.
So you see, / not only give freely of
cash to Home Missions, but I give
myself.
What more could any man do?
Calmly and kindly consider all
these facts, and then tell me what
you think of that Atlanta Board,
which classed me as a hypocrite, be-
cause I would not send them money.
At that very time, my bank &C
count had been so heavily overdrawn,
several times, that the cashier wrote

Some day not very far distant, 1t Is
hoped, exporters and importers in the
United States will awaken to the rea-
lization that South America offers
them exceptional business opportuni-
ties, and then probably a systematic
and determined effort will be made to
wrest from Europe the trade which,
geographically speaking, belongs to us.
Why this rich field has not been culti-
waited is one of the mysteries which
for decade has puzzled citizens who
visited the continent to the south. Per-
haps the explanation is that we have
been too busy extending our trade to
Europe and Asia, but whatever the
cause, the time has passed when
American merchants can any longer
afford to ignore the possibilities appar-
emit to the well informed.
