Suffrage Movement in Iowa.

Woman suffrage in Iowa during the
last year, Mrs. Iona Ingham Robinson
declared, had shown more popularity
and genuine vitality han ever before.
Schools and clubs not committed to
suffrage, she said. were constantly
sending for literature. and Mrs. Robin
son declared that Iowa had now twice
as many believers in woman suffrage
a sthe state had five years ago.
The ~suffragists In Iowa propose to
accomplish something at the next ses-
sion of the Iowa legislature and have
a. plan for a quiet obstruction OF all
other legislative business until the bills
they want are passed. Resolutions
adopting the plan were adopted at the
last Iowa state convention in October.
This extreme resolution" declared
Mrs. Robinson, twas due to a giving
"S, IF Patience after forty yaars nf
persistent rejection Of our bills, to-
gether with evaporation at h pecul-
lar insolence with which our bills were
rejected"
"Cluhs are responding to the rec
concentrations that candidates or
would be candidates for the legislature
be interviewed with a view to support
ing actively before election those who
are favorable to our cause and oppos-
ing those who are against US. A elk
weeks experiment In putting a gifted
young woman in the field with q 0uf-
frage play IS Just now under prepare
tion."
Enclosing her report Mrs. Robinson
declared that In Iowa, "the spontane-
Gus unoreanixed propaganda - OUT
running It's deliberately planned organ
ixation work"

German Industrial Insurance..

New York Tribune.1
1t is not merely a law which DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg proposes for the
fulfillment of the great Work OF
Peace" conceived by Count Posadow-
sky many years ago, but really a
whole code of legislation. At the pres
emit time the state insurance of the in
dustrial classes is. divided into three
departments and is provided by means
Of eight separate and not particularly
simple laws. The Chancellor in the
bill which has just been introduced pro-
poses considerably to extend the scope
and h complexity of the system and
to have 1t all administered under a
single statute. The proposed law IN
sists, however, of no fewer than LISA
clauses, some of them elaborate and
complicated. sufficient to fill q good
sized volume.
Under the existing system there Is
insurance against illness, accident and
old & and infirmity. The new system,
if adopted, will provide pensions for the
widows and orphans of workmen, and
it will also extend insurance to var
ious classes Of workmen who hither-
to have been outside the scope of the
laws operations. Among these are
tSIlCulluld anu loltSl Wof hIlSI, uo-
nestle servants, theatrical employees,
clerks. musicians, teachers, and to some
extent those who work in domestic
shops of their own. The benefits of the
new law are. however. to be given only
to those whose total incomes do not
exceed $500 a year.. For the present,
too, it is intended to grant pensions to
only those widows who are infirm or
incapable of workings Orphans will re-
ceive aid until they are fifteen years
old.
1t is. of course, required, as It should
be, that the persons to be insured, or
whose widows and orphans are to be
insured, shall contributee toward the
pension fund, and that their employers
shall equally contribute. while the state
is to contribute about as much as both
the former classes put together. The
new law will increase by about FIVE
millions the lumber of potential or &C
tual b~enefciaries. and will increase the
yearly bounty from all sources for their
benefit from a little more than SiS2-
5000 to nearly s215, o00, 200. It IS a
~stupendous proposal, which goes very
far towards universal provision.

Especial correspondence

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-I
was early in 1906 that some re
markable pitching attracted at
tention to youngster up il
Maine, and half a dozen manager
tried to sign him. Some though
they had him, but there was
heartburning one day in June tina
year when Connie Mack told &
group of reporters:
Wen have a new man tomor.
row. His name is John Coombs oil
Colby college, Maine"
One of the reporters nearly
| tainted. He was an official of the
Phillies and thought Hugh Duffy
then manager, had Coombs as
good as signed. 1t later developed
that Mack had signed the young
ster almost a year before.
The average collegian fails to
deliver in the big leagues, but
Coombs was different. Big and
strong, with great speed, but not
the best of control, a good head
and ability to bat, he wrote his
name high in base ball chronicles
by pitching a 24-inning victory
over Boston, Sept. 1, 1906.
Coombs won that game, but the
strain weakened him, and the
next season his pitching arm broke
down. The Athletics trainer
worked hard on the arm, and in
a few weeks Coombs had> more
speed than ever, but no control.
His batting caused Mack to play
him in the outfield part of 1908,
and he was kept on the pay roll
during 1903, although his pitch
ing was unimpressive.
Last spring Coombs' hard work
told. One afternoon he pitched a
few innings without issuing a
pass, and folks who had asked
why Mack kept him knew the an
swer. From that day Coombs has
been sensation, and his perform
ance of tanning IA Browns proves
his class. Among the feats credit
ed to Coombs is a 16-inning run
less game against the White Sox,
with Ed Walsh opposing him.
Coombs is an out-of-doors man.
He was a farmers boy and sports
have been his hobby. He played
on the Colby college eelven, and
took part in other sports. He
spent the falls in the Maine woods.
He is a good golf player. When
ever he can get away for a cou-
pie of days he spends his time fish
ing off the Jersey coast.
Coombs is a bachelor. When in
the south a couple of years ago, a
wealthy widow became attached to
him. She owned thousands of
