High-broWed Female With AS
pirationS to Vote Given a
Frosty Glare by Club Wom-
en- of This City.
MRS. FRANK STEVENS
AIRS HER OPINIONS
Local Club Leader Thinks the
Place for Women Is the
u Home Hasn't Heard of
Mrs. BeImont's Plans.

Notwithstanding the strenuous ef-
forts of Mrs. O. H. p. Belmont. New
York society leader. member of the
400 and suffragette, to sweep the
country with the woman suffrage
wave and secure a petition with mil
lion names to be sent to congress.
Mrs Frank Stevens. president of the
club in this city and one of
the most prominent club women in
this section of the country. states that
she has received no intimation that
such a movement is on foot. There
fore Mrs. Belmonts exertions are ap-
parently wasted so far as Eastern In
diana is concerned, and more espe-
cially, Richmond.
Gives Her Opinion.
When asked what she thought Of
woman suffrage and whether she be-
lieved that women should have the
same rights as men, Mrs. Stephens
stated that she was not in favor Of
itin it's entirety. She declared that
while she was in favor of women's 8
rights in some things she did not be-
lieve they should take part in govern
ment affairs and that the proper
place for a woman was at home. How
ever, she declared in a case where a
woman owned considerable property
she believed she sould have the right
to state what kind of improvements
should be made around her property
and should have voice in the gov.
ernment of the city in that particu-
lar.
But when it comes to national pol
itics." said Mrs. Stephens. II am in
favor Of surrendering to the sterneT
sex l think they have done very well
up to the present time and I see nc
reason why women should seek inter.
fere. There are certain rights which
should be demanded by women. but
the thing can be carried altogether too
far 1 think and in some ways the idea
of woman's suffrage is absurd
Are Not Interested.
Mrs. Stephens stated that she
J. "Oulu UC cOAuC IAuS al
least before the various women's clubs
of this city would take up with the
idea. She declared that it covered al
together too broad a field and most oi
the women she knew did not demand ]
the right to vote for president or ma
tional politics, but simply thought they
should have a voice in regard to mat
ters pertaining to the city government,
in affairs which effected their own in
terests.
According to Mrs. Stephens, an ef-
fort was made last winter by several
prominent woman suffragettes in the
aest to lecture in Richmond but their
attempts were futile and they could
find no place in the city to deliver
their lectures. The movement did not
arouse much interest at that time. II
is said. and at present the matter is
not meeting with unbounded enthusi-
asm among local club women.

Four Foreigners Start Riot

WERE DRINKING HEAVILY
MEN WERE STRIKE BREAKERS
AND WERE ENROUTE TO THE
PRESSED STEEL PLANT-oNE 10
BADLY WOUNDED.

Four foreigners, John Valeski, Mich
olas Uarn, John Tagnaski and Peter
Snorski. all of Chicago, who have been
employed at the Elwood tin plate
mills as strike breakers, and who were
enroute to McKees Rocks. Pa. to &C
cept positions at the Pressed Steel
Car company's plant as strike break
ers, were arrested at the Pennsylvania
depot last evening and placed. in the
city bastile, charged with drunk and
rioting. The men arrived in the city
on Pennsylvania passenger train No.
40 and soon afterwards started trouble
among themselves. while loafing on
tween the baggage and express rooms
of the depot.
The police were notified immediate
ly when trouble broke out and Ed
wards, Hebble and McManus answer
ed to hurry up call. The patrol soon
arrived on the scene, into which the
foreigners were bundled.
In the tuning up" process for
their duties as strike breakers. fists
and other weapons, such as whisky
bottles, were freely welded. One of
the men. who was the drunkest. was
the instigator, it is alleged, and was
so badly beaten up that he was bleed
ing from numerous wounds about the
head and face. None of his wounds
or those of his three companions are
regarded as serious.
Depot Was Crowded.
The depot was crowded at the time
the riot took place. Even the strong
est-hearted men did not care to inter-
fere while the women rushed to the
waiting room and other places of SAT
ETY..
One of the men, but just which one
is not known, was placed in a private
cell at the Jail. He was in ferocious
fighting mood and considered too dam
gerous to be allowed to run at large in
the large cell with his companions
and number of negroes who were
arrested In a crap game.
Among the effects taken from the
men, the police secured one quart bot
tie. one pint bottle and one half pint
bottle of whiskey. all of which had
been used frequently, judging from the
amount of liquor still in them. The
quart bottle must have been a most
effective weapon In the hands of one
of the men as it was covered with
blood. Each of the men had tickets
dated Aug. % from Elwood to Pitts
burg. Each was also we,l supplied
with money.
It was reported that the men had

STRIKE AT CAR COMPANY

Pittsburg, Aug. 2S.-The federal
probe into affairs at Schoonville to-
day developed more sensational fea-
lures. The government investigators
were astounded by the forceful.
straight forward stories told by the
various witnesses.
Man after man said that it had been
for him to leave the Press
ed Car company's plant.
Blow after blow was given the COM
pany's alleged methods of peonage.
So sensational and damaging was the
evidence that United States Attorney
John r. Jordan, left his office and
went to the circuit court room where
the hearing is being conducted. to
help his assistant, Harry Lydick.

Jacob H. Schiff, prominent
New York Banker, States
Millionaire Is Now Improv-
ing Very Rapidly.
MAGNATE CHEERFUL
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE
However Veil of Secrecy Over
Everything Connected With
Hartman Has Been Drawn
Much Closer.
(American News Service)


Turner, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-E. H. Harri-
man has not been operated upon. He
will not be operated upon.
This statement, authoritative and
positive, was made this afternoon by
Jacob II. Schiff. the New York bank
er and head OF Kuhn, Loeb & Co., aft
er he had spent two hours with e. H.
Hartman at his mountain top home.
It was the first bit of definite news
concerning the sick railroad king that
came down to the correspondent camp
today. II just left Mr.. Hartman on
his veranda," said Mr.. Schiff," and it
seems to me that he is improving rap
idly. He was in excellent spirits.
cheerful and discussed various top
les"
Mr.. Schiff was reminded that two
tanks of oxygen and an operating ta-
BILE had been hurried by automobile
up the inclined railway to the noun
tain top.
Had No knowledge.
II didn't know anything about that"
he said. Mr.. Schiff spoke as though
he were very earnest in wishing to
allay apprehension about Mr.. Harri-
mans condition.
The visit of the banker gave rise to
a report that Mr.. Hartman had called
him for consultation concerning his
IMr. Harriman's) immense financial
interests.
THAT Is not the case" said Mr..
Schiff. II am an old and warm per-
sonal friend OF Mr.. Hartman and my
visit today is merely social one"
Schiff was the only visitor to arrive
during the day. He reached Arden on
the 1852 train and was taken in Mr..
Harriman's automobile to the Noun
tain top.
Ex-Judge Lovett, to whom all in
Quiries are directed. is still silent The
only thing he would say today was:
"Dr. Grille is not here"
Refused to Admit.
He would never admit nor deny that
the famous Cleveland surgeon is ex.
pected. None of the medical looking
gentlemen who disappeared up the
Hartman Hill yesterday have been
seen to get away and this leaves the
impression that consultation of ply
sicians occurred either last night or
today.
The veil of secrecy over everything
connected with Hartman has been
drawn closer. The sick man on the
hill top owns nearly all the land as
for as his eye can travel and his
word or that of his lieutenants is law
in the committees Of Turner and Ard
en-. This was evidenced when William
Mcclellan. superintendent OF the Har-
riman dairies, drove to the postof-
flee and general store and gave orders
that no newspaper men. in fact. no
strangers at all. should be allowed to
use the telephones. This order it
was found applied to the whole line.
The telephones In Arden and Turner
are all on this line. which is a private

has taken place in this city in years
occurred last evening at about $50
O'Clock at the pool room of Charles
Profit. colored. on Fort Wayne avenue
near North e street.
The game was in full blast on the
pool table on the second floor when
officers Edwards, Lawler, Hebble,
Lamberson, Remmert and Menke in
terrupted the proceedings and butted
in on the party. There was a wild
scramble for exits, an overturning OF
chairs and tables. an effort to appear
unconcerned-and then it was all over.
Fifteen loyal members Of the roll
call last night and it was necessary
for the patrol to make two trips to
convey the crowd to police headquar-
ters. The following were arrested:
John Russell. Sam White. Arthur Tay-
lor, OFT Burton. Henry Smith. Lacey

raigned in the city court Monday af-
ternOon.
Credit to Edwards.
Patrolman Roy Edwards is respon-
sible for the raid being made. For
some time he states there has been
numerous complaints registered
against the pool room, which has
borne bad reputation. It is alleged
that there have been crap games go
ing on in the room up stairs on Sat
urday nights for the past few months
and the wives of the men who. in
dulged in the games have repeatedly
complained that their husbands would
lose their entire weeks wages at the
place A raid has been contemplated
for some time. but owing to the diff
ficulty in securing evidence. because
of the fact that there was a buzzer
near the front door. which was used
to warn the players at the first ap-
pearance of the cops" the raid has
been postponed until its success was
practically assured.
The time was ripe last evening.

August. 1908. startled the world by a
similar message sent from Indian Har-
Dor, Labrador. There was no qualiti-

u~nequivocally that he had reached the
top of the world. Thus two flags with
the stars and stripes of the United
States are floating in the ice packs,
proving the courage of intrepid AmeIi.
cans.
With but a word from Peary, the
world waits breathlessly for details,
hut until he arrives at Chateau Bay,
Labrador, waiting must suffice.
First word of Peary's success
reached New York at 1888 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon in a dispatch to the
Associated Press. 1t contained the
bare announcement of his finding the
pole. Almost simultaneously he had
transmitted the news to London, re-
peating dramatically and simply,
STARS and Stripes nailed to the North
Pole" At the same time he similarly
advised the governor of Newfoundland.
Both old and new worlds were thus
appraised of his great achievement
practically at the anne moment and
the excitement which followed attests
Ia the high pitch of interest aroused
over this climax Of mans persever-
ance. Newspaper extras were rushed
from the press and those who read
marveled at the twist Of the universe
which had snatched the ice mask from
the north in so strange a manner
Like DR.. Cooks first message
Peary's was tantalizing in its brief.
ness and the waiting public, stimulated
by Cooks success was left unsatiated.
For. as did Or. Cook, Peary resumed
his homeward voyage Immediately
after filing the curt news of discovery.
This gave assurance that the vessel
in which Peary departed had passed
through the ice u~nscathed, but details
of his home coming and the date Of
this discovery of the pole were still
lacking. II was not until the New
York Times had received a dispatch
later in the afternoon that these vital
points were cleared up. The message

From out the Arctic darkness there
vas flashed this message which
stunned the scientific world and
thrilled the heart of every laymdn.
From the bleak coast of Labrador
Peary gave to the world the news that
he had attained his goal in the far
north. while at the same moment in

of Brooklyn was being dined and lion
lied by royalty for the same achieve
ment.
Undeniably Yankee grit has con
quered the frozen North and there has
been created a coincidence such as the
world will never see again. Two
Americans have planted the flag of
their country in the land of ice which
man has sought to penetrate for four
centuries; and each, ignorant of the
others conquest, has flashed within a
period of five days, a laconic message
of success to the waiting world.
Cook in his first message to his
countrymen was brief but non-commit-
tai; Peary was I've briefer but spe-
cific. STARS and stripes nailed to the

before have so few words conveyed to
a people a greater meaning or a great
