STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 81
Sweden began to feel the paralyzing
grip of the strike today when mem
bers of the Sailors union struck and
a complete tie up of shipping in Swed
ish waters will probably result. The
strike committee today decided to call
out the printers and railroad EN-
ployes. The printers will likely obey
and newspapers will suspend. with
traffic at a standstill Within as
hours it is feared that all great in
dustries and activities in the city will
be suspended. Additional troops ar.
rived today.

Paris People Turned Out at an Early
Hour This Morning to See Butch
er Get His own Head
Cut of.
JEERED AT THE MAN
The Execution Was over In a Flash
and the Murderer's Head Fell
From His shiverns
Shoulders Q

PARIS, Aug. 5.-The sudden official
announcement that public beheading
would take place at 4:30 this morning
in boulevard fronting the state pris-
on created sensation in Paris,
which has not seen an execution in
fifteen years. Immense crowds gath
cred, but were unable to get within
two blocks of the guillotine, being
kept back by police guards. Partisan
sentiment has long been opposed to
public executions, for in part they are
accompanied by scandalous scenes Of
revelry.
Despite this, parliament refused to
abolish the death penalty and in view
of the revolving crime of the man
executed this morning. the president
refused to commute the sentence to
life Imprisonment.
The victim was one Duchemin, aged
23, butcher. In 1908 he stabbed his
mother. and this not resulting in her
death quickly enough, he finished her
by strangulation. The motive was
robbery.
There were some 1eers as the closed
wagon containing the condemned man
left the prison yard, by side street,
then drove up the boulevard two hun.
dred yards to the guillotine. The only
spectators were officers and crowd
Of Journalists.
AS the trembling wretch stepped
out Of the wagon, followed by priest
who was holding tho cruclfix. 1t was
seen that, according to the law deal
ing with parracides. he was barefoot
ed and his head covered with trans
parent black yelling, while a cape OF
crude material half concealed his
naked chest.
Before the on-lookers had time to
express wonderment at this strange
garb, which gave the impression that
the victim was woman and not a
man. the flowing yelling fell from the
head. the cape from the shoulders and
the victim was seized and thrown un-
der the knife.
In a fash all was over and the
crowds dispersed.

Of so-called labor leader, can long

There Is a new type Of leader COM

to help US most are the men who
have come up from the ranks, or.
better still. who are yet In the ranks.
Slowly but surely such men are
emerging from among the masses.
Sometimes unappreciated by the very
ones whose battles they are fighting,
and whose destinies they are working
out. they are coming up just the same
to take the places which" belong to
them by virtue Of their fitness for
the job. They aren't the men who
have the gift Of CAB. -,
Some of the best men we've got
today are not great orators We
don't need the spellbinder as much as
we need men with patience and en-
durance. There Is no Job which re-
qufres these virtues more than that
of a leader of laboring men. For
workingmen are en- ungrateful lot,
and they expect perfection In the men
that they elect as their leaders.

AUSTRALIA NOW, SOLID
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

Victoria Is the last of the Australian
states to give women the right to
vote for members of the State Par
lament. Fourteen times the woman
suffrage bill was thrown out by the
Legislative council after it had been
passed by the lower house. Each
time the hostile majority steadily d.
1ninished. and the women kept up
their courage.
At the last meeting of the house
the bill went through by majority
Of more than 4 to 1. the opposition
breaking like the giving way of a
dam.
For years the women in other states
of Australia have stood on the same
footing with the men. The gaining
OF the ballot by the women OF Vic
toria has been the cause OF great re-
joicing among the suffragists both in
England and America. They point
to 1t as proof that had the pre-
! dicted disasters befallen the other
Australian states the ballot would not
have been given to the women Of
Victoria even at this late date.
