BORN
WOMEN
IN JAIL
Society Leaders in London
Get Prison Terms for
Participation in
Riots.
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

\by Onlteu IFeSS le&Seu WITc.
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Suffraget-
tes of the highest social position
in the United Kingdom today were
sentenced to terms In Jail for par
ticipation In the demonstration of
yesterday when scores of women
attempted to obtain a hearing
with Premier Asquith.
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, one of
the leaders who was arrested ear
ly yesterday, was convicted and
sentenced today.
Lady Constance Lytton, sister
of Lord Lytton; Daisy Solomon,
daughter of the former premier of
South Africa, and others of equal
rank were given terms OF from
one to two months In jail.
Thirty suffragettes in all were
araigned in court. They refused
to give bonds for their good be-
havior and chose jail sentences.
The women have become more
and more obstructive and desper-
ate. They threaten stronger
measures and declare that they
value neither life or liberty in the
fight to win the voting privilege
for women.

How the Council
Does Business

Are the city councilmen who
tried to kill off the civil service
getting "cold feet?"
Last night Wilkeson asked IL
the council could not take the
matter up again. He said the
council should settle whether or
not they intended to go through
with the proposition and submit
the charter amendments to the
people and If not they might as
well cut out the expensive adver-
tising bill which will run on at an
expense of several dollars every
day for the next 80 days.
Wilkeson realized that unless
more votes could be secured than
were secured. last week the thing
would fail anyway and he thought
the adcertising bill might be
saved.
But President Lynn did not
care to take the matter up and it
was dropped. In the meantime
the advertising is going on and
the people are paying the bills.

NO TABLES
IN RUSSIA
SCARED
Trying to Muzzle Gossips
Who May Involve
Them in Azef
Scandal.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 25.--
Desperate efforts are being made
by several men high in Russian
official and court life, it is learn
ed through duma gossip, to secure
possession of the unpublished
diary of the late Director Novitsky
of the department of gendarmes
at Kieff, enough of which has
been made public by the few who
have seen it to furnish ground for
the. fear that 1t may implicate
many still living notables in the
Azef scandal or in others of a
similar character.
The extract from the diary
which has gained the widest pub
licity is the account of Director
Noyitsky's efforts to save Cover
nor Begdanovitch of Ufa, from as
and Of his failure
through Minister of the Interior
Plehve's disregard of his warn
ings.
Novitsky's story Is that infor-
nation of the plot was brought to
him by the daughter of a tailor In
WnDSt ldully 1cTSH uul, Tie Ia
nous revolutionist, who had been
chosen to manage the assassina-
ton. was a boarder.
The director instantly tele-
|graphed Plehve, waited four hours
for reply, telegraphed again and
finally received order to "investi-
gate" but not to act and to keep
his information absolutely secret.
skor rs days, Novitsky's diary
sag. Gershuni and his assistants
wee kept under surveillance,
PTs3ive meantime receiving ex-
hat stive reports concerning their
movements and plans.
Three days before the date
fixed for the assassination, No
vitsky notified the minister that
the terrorists had left for Ufa and
were therefore outside his juris-
diction. The next news he receiv-
ed was that the party had met
Bogdanovitch, shot him to death
and escaped.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 25.-Should
bubbles wear wedding rings and
have a distinguishing title by
which they may be introduced
when they are turned loose In
society?
Several legislators at this ses-
sion have been approached by
/ number of unmarried women,
who declare that men are con-
stantly imposing on them be-
cause 1t is impossible. from an in
PRODUCTION, to tell whether a man
Is married or single.
1t is always embarrassing and
sometimes dangerous, they de-
clare, for single women to attend
functions where comparative
strangers are present, for some
man Of their acquaintance Is like
ly to present a man friend and
forget to mention that he may
have wife and several children
at home. Then. should the maider
be at all susceptible, she runs the
danger of falling in love at frs
sight and enduring hours o
wakefulness and sorrow when th'
horribl truth comes out.
One senator declares that mar
ried men ought to be segregated
like Japanese school children. An
unmarried woman is a Miss, =
while a married woman is a
Mrs." but men are all "Mr."
Some of the senator's fellow
Legislators have suggested change
of title to Misery" or Missed. "
But that was done in a playful
spirit, and, as they are all mar
ried men, the suggestion hasn' I
been taken seriously. One solon
who has been married four times
says he wants an amendment to
the bill, in case 1t is introduced,
applying the same rules to wild
ows.
"Size up the average married
man." he says, "and you'll find
he's tagged"
The question Of tagging mar
ried men has come up before the
Illinois legislature and a bill
carrying the provision into effect
may possibly be passed by that
body.

WOMAN ON
RAMPAGE
SHE ROUTS CHIEF OF SECRET
SERVICE, USING PASTE POTS
AND INK BOTTLES.

T. B. Foster, chief of the secret
service, in this district, was put to
flight by a woman yesterday at
the office of United States Com
missioner McMillin.
Lottie Jeffries and Earl Jeffries
were arraigned for hearing on a
charge of passing counterfeit
money. The pair had been pick
ed up by Detectives Wiley and
Geary with about $50 in spurious
gold coin in their room.
When the case was over yester-
day they had been bound over, un-
der $500 bail the woman was
very much angered at the activity
of Mr.. Foster in tn case.
AS she and her companion were
being led away she stopped for a
moment, made a sweep over the
table and grabbed everything In
sight. In moment there was a
fusilade of paste pots, ink wells,
paper weights and other office
paraphernalia around the head of
Foster. He lodged as long as he
could, then beat a retreat to the
back office.
The stenographer tumbled un-
der the desk to escape the crash
ing glass and flying ink and for a
moment there was considerable
excitement in the court room.
I Deputy Marshal Statter grab
bed the irate prisoner as soon as
he could, but already she had
made a couple of bullseyes on
Foster. He had his coat covered
with paste and his hat was we'll
mixed.
Later the woman apologized
and wept copious floods of tears.

STATE'S
MONEY
Reckless Expenditures
for the Printing of
Worthless State
Documents
fTimes Special service.)

(llInCS ORCClfAA oSA AvANSsy
OLYMPIA, Feb. 25.-Members
of the printing committee of both
the house and senate are begin
ming to wonder just how many
thousands of dollars have been
literally thrown away in useless
printing by the state. Since
Washington became a state, state
printing has been done on a law
ish scale and now it requires $45,-
600 year to satisfy the state
printer.
Tons and ton OF state literature
have been burned; offices of the
capitol are loaded down with
books, pamphlets and the like
that have never been opened and
never will be. Every time there
is a house cleaning wagon loads
of books are taken to the furn-
ace. The money could not have
been wasted more effectively had
1t been takeu down to one OF
Olympia's rickety docks and
heaved into the bay.
$4,000 in Hole.
At the last session of the legis-
lature $4,000 was appropriated
to provide the state printing for
two years. Today the state is in
debt $4,000 for excess printing.
Every state institution has to
have book of it's own; state Of
fees have to print their reports,
the laws passed by the legislature
are all printed in book form un-
der the title of Session Laws, and
they are never used because a
private printer gets them out three
months ahead Of the state. Three
thousand volumes of the last ses-
sion laws were printed and there
are still 1900 volumes left.
Gets His 5000 Alright.
Whenever the printing appro-
priation was exhaused, the state
officials trotted to the governors
office and received a requisition
on the state printer. The state
printer had to deliver the goods.
The only act Of graft in the whole
business is the 5000 a year al
lowed the governors secretary as
y odldly y lol ChCChih6 up tuC pun
lie printing. The governors sec
retary has always carefully drawn
the 5000, but there is no record
of his having done any checking.
The public printer has had to pay
an expert to do this.
Aside from the amount actually
expended in the printing of the
musty tones, there is big ex-
pense attached to their compila-
tion. The books and reports had
to be written; many of them are
complicated In the extreme. The
state had to pay for all of this.
Half Million Waste.
The state printing had been
done on q system as idiotic as can
be conceived and in the past ten
years a half million dollars of the
taxpayers money has been frittei
away in a manner which II done
by a private citizen would result
in his having a guardian appoint
ed.

MAN WHO BURIED
BODY Is STILL
UNKNOWN

The identity0 she young man
who last MOI buried the body
of an infaT a a vacant lot in
the West I'D is still unknown
but the 1olice, after making a
thorough investigation, have come
to the conclusion that no crime
was committed. They hold, how
ever, that no one had right to
bury the body so uncermoniously,
even though the infant had died
a natural death.
The body of the infant after be-
ing exhumed from its rude grave
was taken to an undertaking es-
tablishment and will be buried
in q cemetery.
Officials of st. Joseph's hospi-
tai today admitted that the child's
body was given to the young man

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10.
AN intense feeling Of nm
rest is manifested I'm the long
drawn out Calhoun trial to-
day and rumors Of impend-
ing trouble are heard ON
every side. Heney and his
bodyguard are on the alert
today as never before and no
person comes into the court
room without being care
fully scrutinized. Heney APP
parentIy is prepared for trou-
BILE and expects It any mo-
ment.
1870 Veniremen Summoned.
The prospects of getting a jury
to try the indicted trolley mag
nate on charge of ofering .
bribe seems as remote today a.
ever. Up to date 1870 veniro-
men have been summoned In ff-
teen different patches.
OF this number ten men sit tenn
porarily sworn in the Jury box
and 1t is likely that David Holx-
berg, one of the Jurors, will be
excused. 1t is said that follow-
ing his dismissal the prosecution
will challenge other jurors from
the box for cause.
Examination Postponed.
The examination of Holzberg,
which was to have been continued
this morning. was postponed un-
til this afternoon so that his ex-
partner, Harry Kallman, who ID
witness for the prosecution,
could be. produced In court. ,rhe
prosecution claimed that Kal1man
would testify that Holxberg said
wien he heard OF the shooting
Of Heney by Haas that II he had
been Haas he would have done
the same thing. 1t has further
developed that Holzberg Is Z
in the United Rail-
roads. This alone is taken AZ
being sufficient ground for his
disqualification.
The morning session was slow.
During the first hour and q half
Judge Lawlor examined q new
venire of sixty and retained IS
for examination by counsel.

two-tenths of an inch an hour and
is expected to reach the 55-foot
