NIGHT IN POLICE COURT.
Convinces Mrs. Belmont of Necessity
for Woman Suffrage.

New York, Dec 21.-Mrs. o. H. P.
Belmont of Newport and New York
who has recently transferred her inter-
ests from society to suffrage, has given
out a statement of her impressions of
the justice meted out to unfortunate
women in the night court.
I'm answer to numerous requests
from the women who are managing the
shirt waist strike that some Of us who
are also irving to assist would be pres
ent at the trial of the girls arrested.
Mrs. Belmont says: 81 went Saturday
night to Jefferson market court. ] was
present from o'clock. when the night
court opened, until 8 o'clock in the
morning.
During the six hours spent in that
police co--t, I saw enough to convince
me, and all who were with me, beyond
the smallest doubt of the absolute
necessity for woman's suffrage-for the
direct influence of women over judges,
jury and policemen, over everything
and everybody connected with the So
called course of justice.
"a hundred fold was it impressed
upon me in the cases of the women of
the streets who were brought before
the judge. Every woman who sits COM
placently amidst the comforts of her
home, or who moves with perfect free
dom and independence in her own pro-
tected social circle, and says L have
all the rights want should spend one
night in the Jefferson market court.
She would then know that there are
other women who have no rights which
man or law or society recognizes.

Destroyed.


London, Dec. 21.-A disastrous fire
involving SO far as has been ascer-
tanned the loss of three lives and the
destruction of the big drapery store Of
Arding and Hobbs at Clapnam, a.
southwestern quarter of London. oc-
Cured today The fire was due to the
breaking of an electric bulb. which
started a blaze among cellulofd arti-
cles beneath. 1t occurred about 4:30
p. M. when the store. covering an
acre of ground and having five floors
and a hundred departments, was
crowded. The Christmas trade was in
full swing. but in little moro than
an hour the building was mass of
ruins. The damage is estimated at
s2.5O0.oO0.
All the customers made their way
in safety out of the store and there
was. little panic. While girl en-
ploye was trying to reach the ground
the ladder took fire and she fell and
was killed. The two men then jumped
and also were killed.
John Burns, president of the local
government board, was early on the
scene and assisted in directing the
firemen's operations with sack over
his shoulders to protect him from the
water. Many persons were assisted
from the windows by the firemen and
several cf the employees were serious
ly injured, few possibly fatally. At
midnight it was still impossible to
search the ruins and some employees
are unaccounted for.

BUEN0S AYRES CUT OUT
Cable Quotations on Wheat No Longer
Posted on Change.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-As to a finale to
series of highly fuctuating quota
tions received recently in dispatches
covering the Argentine grain market,
the board of trade here today posted
the following notice:
"Buenos Ayres cables discontinued
until further notice.
Last Saturday prices jumped 2 Il to
25s per bushei owing to a dispatch
from Buenos Ayres telling of an ad-
vance of II Is to II u in wheat. At
tempts at confederation were appar-
emily successful This tremendous
bulge seemed to confirm previous fears
of big crop shortage in Argentine re-
sulting from unfavorable weather
there while the new crop was in the
ripening state. Subsequent inquiry
disclosed yesterday that the advance in
Buenos Ayres, had been approximately
only / ", and the explanation was
made that the discrepancy arose from
a use of currency and quantity meas
ures other than the American dollar
and the standard bushel.
Secretary Stone of the board of
trade said
1.-The irregularity and uncertainty of
the dispatches from Argentine caused
US to discontinue posting the quota
tions for the present The quotations
have been irregular for some time and
have disagreed with other advices both
here and in Europe.

Once inside the prison walls Charles
appeared relieved, and, in contrast
with the spirit which led him to COM
NIT the awful crime for which he is
now paying the penalty, he was as
meek as child, doing as he was bid
den with a1acrity and a light of real
pleasure upon his face. For more
than two months he had been haunted
with the secret of his crime, and his
confession and sentence appeared to
guilty conscience, weighted down with
secret too great for him to keep,
had carried.
Charles crime was one of the blacklist
in the history of Kansas. In the still
ness of the night. while his employer
slept, unsuspecting, in the hay loft of
his barn on his farm, Charles stole in
with an axe and crushed his head. With
wheelbarrow he took the body to the
sandhills in the pasture and buried it.
Neptune was missed by the neighbors,
but it was believed for a time that he
had disappeared Intentionally.
Soon afterward Charles loaded the
stock and other farm property in a
ped them to Dalhart, Tex. where he
disposed of them and then took refuge
at the home of his mother at that place.
A brother of Neptune, physician liv-
ing at SaIna, Kan becoming SuS-
picious, started an Investigation. Bloody
garments belonging t. the dead man
was the first clue and the arrest of the
murderer came soon afterward. Charles
at first denied the crime, but later, un-
able to bear the strain longer, made a
full confession.
Last Saturday he was arraigned and
bou-1 over to the district court. He
was led directly to the court house, but
contrary to his promises. he refused to
plead guilty. He was led to his cell,
and after a conference with his lawyers
returned, pleaded guilty and received

Corbett- I'm all his career Johnson has
not defeated any good man of heavy

Johnson may swing and jab, but the big
fellow will brush his blows aside and
force his way through the barrier. JEFF

bue when he lands it means the finish.

fighting in the training camp. We shall
strip and fight 20 rounds. This may
happen three times or more. 1t will be
the severest test that any. fighter ever

L TOLD YOU so.
That Is the Substance of Peary's Com
ment on Cook.


Washington, Dec 81. = Three
months ago from the Labrador coast
1 sounded an explicit and deliberately
worded warning to the world, based
upon complete and accurate informa-
ton in regard to the Cook claims. In
doing so 1 accepted the responsibility
devolving upon me and fulfilled my
duty to myself and to the world
With these words Commander
Robert E. Peary today pointedly ex-
pressed his sentiments regarding the
failure of the University of Copen-
hagen to find any proof of the discov-
cry of the North pole by DR.. Cook. In
his apartments on Columbia road,
Commander Peary received an Asso
ciated Press representative who ap-
prised him of the decision by the Den
mark scientists against DIR. Cook. Not
so much as a suspicion of a smile il
Illuminated his stern face, but his eyes
lighted up with the welcome of a vim
dication which had come to him after
difficult trials.
II have known the outcome of this
since weeks before ! reached this
country on my return from the pole,
he said. at was not a matter of be-
lief with me. but of absolute knowl-
edge
However, I shall not discuss this
matter in detail for publication. 1t is
not necessary.
"The warning which 1 sent to the
country before lanQeQ is sun SuIIl-
cient. If you remember my cablegram
from Battle Harbor: here is the exact
wording of it: Cook has not been to
the pole April 21, 1908, or any other
date He l1as simply handed the pub
lie gold brick
With this Commander Peary de-
clined further to discuss DR.. Cook or
his affairs and it was evident that he
regarded the controversy as ended.
He declined to say whether he consid-
cred it possible for DR.. Cook to pro-
ceed further In presenting additional
evidence or in submitting his data to
other courts of authority.
my friends may consider this de-
cision a complete vindication of their
attitude on this whole subject. but as
for me do not care to comment"
said Mr.. Peary in conclusion.
