POWER IS VESTED N WOMEN
JANET RICHARDS HAS PLAN
FOR SECURING SUFFRAGE.
Convert the Wives and Daughters,
She Declares, and Men May
Then Be Won.

The most effective method OF bringing
our cause before the bodies which can
made our ideals possible is to seek the
support of the men through the medium
of the women. In other words. convert
the women to our cause first and let them
work TO influence the men in their
homes" declared Miss Janet Richards
last night in an address before the local
branch of the Woman's Suffrage Assc-
citation at 1893 II street
A woman I'm household is a power We
must recognize. she continued. We
should never make the mistake of trying
TO convert the men first, for the reason
that we need the stronger and more pow
erful influence of the everyday home life.
which can only be exerted by thu women.
A gradual campaign of conversion ~hy q

Why She Wants to Vote.
Votes for women are desired only as a
means to an end. | would not for a mo-
ment favor the work il | thought the
ballot box was desired merely for itself.
1t is the path open to us through votes
that We seek
Miss Richards referred to what she
termed the excellent work in the cause of
wcman's suffrage in the state of Mary
land, and especially Baltimore. The secret
of the success. she said, was the winning
OF women first to the cause, who in turn
made suffrage advocates of the male
members of their families
The result at present IS that we have
fine hopes OF the movement sweeping the
state at no late date, said Miss Richards.
At the request of Mrs. Helen NJ. Tin

of the recent annual convention of that
body held at the Alaska-Yukon EXPOSE

CONDITIONS OF TRADE.
Dun Agency Reports Show General
Improvement.

NEW YORK, August 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
"All branches of business affected by
the new tariff law are rapidly adjusting
themselves to the amended schedules and
the ending of the period of uncertainty
as to the rates of duty to be imposed
has already had the effect of stimulating
trade. Reports from all the important
cities in all the leading trades are most
encouraging.
I'm the iron and steel trade each week
serves to bring an increased volume of
business to the mills, and labor Is in
greater request. Advices from the princi-
pal industrial centers indicate that work.
ing forces are being enlarged whenever
possible, and retail trade shows more
activity as pay rolls expand.
1.-The trend toward fuller demand in the
dry goods trade has been steady and con-
sentative. many retail buyers being regis
tered in the large central markets, and
jobbers report q more general call for
Ready-to-wear and speciality
houses are particularly busy, but piece
mand than at any time since the middle
of the spring jobbing season. In the pri-
mary markets on cotton goods and yarns
the uncertainty of prospects in raw cot
ton is still a factor in causing delay in
naming prices on late delivery goods.
There is more animation in the silk piece
goods division. and woolens and wersteds
show no sign of recession from a very
strong position.
1.-The footwear market continues in
waiting position. but the adjustment of
the tariff schedules will lead to more ac-
tfvity. as some buyers have not supplied
their fall wants.

No Water in It's Stock Nor Is In

LOUISVILLE, August 15-What is the
first utterance from an official OF the
Louisville and Nashville railroad In an
swer to reports following the sensational
rise in that corporations stock, quota
tions in Wall street since the rise this
week is printed in the Courier-Journal
today 1t is in the form of letter from
President Milton H. Smith of the rail-
road in which he takes exception to
call of newspaper writer to commercial
boards in Southern states to prosecute
suits ito prevent stock watering OF the
capital stock Of the Louisville and Nash
Vile"
Agreeing that this call is predicated
upon news dispatches that the railroad
has accumulated such a surplus that II
proposes to Increase the capital stock
from $6O.OOOOOO to $75,OOJ.OO0 or 500.
0GO.Oo0' and that the present stock IS
largely water, Mr.. Smith says: The
results of operations Of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad are matters of public
record and it Is known to all who have
investigated that there is no water in
its stock and there is not the slightest IN
timation that the management has ever
considered an increase in the capital
stock in the manner indicated.
Mr.. Smith further cites reported de-
crease of $1,000. 6S5.0S in the gross re-
ceipts of the road for the fiscal year end
ing June, 1909. from those during the
fiscal year ending June. 1907.

Accepts Japan's Attitude in An
tune-Mukden Railroad Dispute.

PEKING, August 1.-THE Chinese gov
eminent, in formal communication to
Japan, has agreed to negotiate at Muk-
den the various points in the Antung-
Mukden railroad controversy not already
settled.
The position taken by Japan In this
matter is accepted in principle by China.
Baron Ijuin, Japanese minister to China,
is of opinion that the trouble is at an end
so far as the legation is concerned.
The Chinese government views the pres
ent situation in the Chen-tao district, be-
tween Korea and Manchuria, with con-
siderable uneasiness. For several days
past this matter has eclipsed the various
Manchurian questions in interest.
officials here declare that justice in
Chien-tao, when Japanese are concerned
in it's administration. is impossible, citing
as an example among other things the
fact that Japan refuses to punish certain
OF her gendarmes who recently killed an
unarmed Chinese police officer in Chen
tao.
Further trouble at any moment In this
district Is feared.

Reports just received by the Portland

ranges look to be at least partially
cleared of wild beasts.
One hunter employed on the Fremont
national range In a report made to the
forest service tells that in the period be-
tween March Is and June 30 he killed
12S coyotes and ten wildcats. Another
hunter on the Wallowa national forest
reserve during the month of May killed
six large bears. while still another on
