Taft DISCUSSES
W0MEN'S RIGHTS
PRESIDENT PROMISES TO BE SUI
FRAGIST IF ALL OF FEMININITY
ASK FOR VOTE.
OPENS WAY FOR SELF-SUPPORT.
Executive Declares No Girl Should Be
Compelled to Marry Simply to
Have a Home.
WILL DISINHERIT HIS SONS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Taft announced himself as favoring
woman's suffrage, when all the women
desire to vote, and said no girl should
be compelled TO marry to gain a liveh-
hood, in his address Tuesday afternoon
at Columbus, Miss. He strengthened his
statement on the marriage question by
promising to disinherit his sons and
leave his entire estate, upon his death,
to his daughter
Eight hundred students at the AIissis-
sippi Girls Industrial institute called
forth the Presidents remarks. He said:
Il am not rabid suffraGist. The
truth IS, l am not in favor of suffrage
for women until l can be convinced that
all the women desire it and when they
desire it | am in favor of giving it to
them, and when they desire it they will
get it. But | do believe that one of the
advantages in giving them that kind of
influence will be more certain to open
avenues of self-suppOrt to them than has
heretofore been done.
Favors Women in Professions
81 wish that every woman in the
world was so situated the President
said, that she should not think it nee
esSary for her to marry IT she did not
want to-
Mr.. Taft said that he would be the
last man in the world to put anything In
the way of matrimony, but he believed a
girl should be so situated as to her flu
ture as to be able to make a free choice
and to look forward to life of unmiXed
happiness.
Il venture to think" he went Oh, that
the best legacy that can be left to a
young man is a good education and a
good character by training in a family
to good moral standards and nothing
else
''fhe same thing is true with respect
to the young women, who are given a
tar chance in life in earning and carving
out their own futures. The great trou-
bic has been that we have not given the
woman fair show. We have not opened
all the avenues to livelihood that they
are quite as well able to fill and in GER
tain respects better able to fill than we
are.
To Leave Estate to Daughter.
Il shall be glad that | shall not have
any property to leave to my boys, of
whom have two, but only good char
acter and pride in themselves and a
good education, but for my daughter [
am going to scrape together as much as
L can give her and as good an education
as L can, so that she shall take in the
lesson which | first sought to announce
as the text of my discourse that she
shall marry only when she chooses to
marry and not because of circum-
stances"

ARMY OFFICERS IN
RECORD AIR TRIP.
Lieuts. Humphreys and Foulois Come
Within Ten Minutes of Passing
Worlds Mark.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Nov. s.
Lieuts. Humphreys and Foulois today
surpassed by 314 minutes the best record
made by any pupil of the Wright broth
ers in the United States The two lieu
tenants remained i'll the air over the
government aviation field here 61A min
utes. A stiff wind then made descent
necessary. The best previous endurance
record by a pupil of Wilbur Wright in
this country was $50 minutes, and was
made by Lieut.. Lahm alone Monday
last. The previous best record for a
two-man flight was by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, when with a passenger he
remained in the air l hour and u min
utes. The fight today was made at a
low elevation and had it continued !
minutes longer would have broken the

NEGRO NOT DISENFRANCHISED.
Maryland Votes Against Amendment
Majority VIII Be About $4,000

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 3.-The con-
stitutional amendment drafted to keep
Maryland permanently in the Demo
cratic column by putting the negro out
of the voting business has been again
defeated in Maryland. Four years ago
there was majority of 10000 against
similar amendment, which this year is
considerably reduced. The fight has been
one of the hottest ever waged here.
An interesting feature is the loss by
Gov. Crothers of Cecil, his home county,
which has given a majority for the Re
publican candidate for comptroller, but
gave majority against the amendment
and has defeated the governors nephew,
who was a candidate for the state SEN
ate.
In Baltimore city the Democrats man
aged to save their ticket with the excep-
ton of the sheriff, the most profitable of
all, which went to the republicans.
Another interesting f ature is the COM
paratively good showing made by Mrs.
Lang, the first woman to appear as
candidate for political Office in Maryland.
Mrs. Lang was a candidate for the Leg
islature on the Socialist ticket, and her
husband was a candidate for Judge Mrs
Lang ran ahead Of her ticket, beating
her husband and the rest of the Social
lists by ratio of to II.

lines of plans he has had drawn it
will be the finest structure in the Har-
ward group. In this event he said he
has promises of rich gifts from members
of the royal family of Germany.

Loses Pioneer

PORTAGE, Wis, Nov 3.-Cyrus
Washburn, the oldest engineer on the
Lacrosse division of the Milwaukee road,
is dead, aged 80 years. He had been an
engineer on the Milwaukee road since its
organization, had served it for fifty

He came to Milwaukee in 1853. In
1861 he went to Watertown, Wis, and
became an engineer on what was then
called the Milwaukee and Watertown
railroad.
Several years ago his engine ran
against an old soldier, who was thrown
up against the headlight and bounded off
into the ditch, landing head foremost in
bed of soft mud, his feet sticking up
in the air. When he was pulled out #
was found that no bones were broken.
and in a few days the old soldier was up

plorer's Records and Votes Him
Gold Medal.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 81
Commander Robert e. Peary was today
voted a gold medal by the National
Geographic society for having reached
the north pole. The board of managers
of the society at a meeting accepted
unanimously the report of its subcom-
mittee of scientists, who had examined
the explorers record and proofs, and
found them to be corroborative of his
claim that he had reached the pole.
The society adopted a resolution that
the question of whether or not any ex-
plorer reached the north pole prior to
1909 shall be referred to subcommittee
of experts with authority to send for
papers or make such journeys as may be
necessary to inspect original records.
This indicates that the society proposes
as soon as possible to pass upon the rec
ords of DR.. Frederick A. Cook.

Barnard, 1862; Hearst, 153, S43. Gay

the complete vote tabulated today, which
gives Hearst 81 more votes than Ban
nard in the boroughs of Manhattan and
the Bronx. In Kings county the Demo

5000 to 1000.
The pluralities for the fusion candi-

S. Whitman, the fusion nominee for dis
trict attorney, received over George
Gordon Battle. the Democratic candi-
date. John S. Shea, fusionist, was
elected for sheriff by plurality approx

the board of estimate and apportionment
he would resign as Tammany's leader at
the December meeting of the county and
