NO ADAM IN SOUTH SEA EDEN
Western Australia the Scene of An
other Anti-Man Effort. English
Women at Head of 1t.

sNS AAN@A Va ne
MELBOURNE.-As a result of the
efforts of Mrs. Emily Crawford, Mrs.
Victoria Woodruff Martin and other
eminent suffragists the new indus
trial colony for British women in
Western Australia was formally open
ed today The colony is a veritable
"Adamless Eden" as no mere men
are permitted to take an active inter-
est in any of the industries or to own
a foot of land.
The colony is within forty miles of
Albany on a great rock facing the
sea. The land has been secured
from the government Of the common
wealth by number of British wo-
men as freehold property. Among
the number are Mrs. Emily Craw-
ford, president of the Householders'
League; Miss Crooke, an expert wo-
man gardener, now chief of the Wo-
mems Agricultural College estab-
lished by Mrs. Victoria Woodruff
Martin at Bredon's Norton in Wor-
cestershire; Miss Hetty Sawyer, M
D., a successful London medical prac-
titioner, and the owner of great
wooden mills, who is too modest tc
allow her name to be mentioned.
The moving picture is Mrs. Craw-
ford, who is a novelist, an artist and
woman of wealth. Much of the
capital is being supplied by Mrs. Mar.
tin, who is better known as Victoria
| Woodruff, the noted advocate of wo.
mems rights, and who married the
late John Biddulph Martin and set
| tied in England.

tons more, were sunk by the upheaval

water and debris was thrown up and
a number of people watching from

Senator Rayner Invites lnsurgent
Republicans to Come
Aboard His Cart
AMUSING TILT IN THE SENATE
Bailey, in Speech of Reply, Admits
There Are Some Jackson
ianS Among G. O.. P.'S
Associated Press ]

WASHINGTON, April 27-Insur-
gents of the senate, through Senator
DolliVer, today spurned an invitation
to quit their party associates and join
the Democratic party, which invita-
tion had been extended by Senator Ray
ner in the course of a speech in OPP
position to the administration railroad
bill.
The exchange of mock compliments
and aspersions amused the senate and
galleries for several hours, and finally
resulted in political debate that goaded
Senator Bailey into a sharp defense
of the minority party.
MAKES a HIT
Mr.. Rayners invitation to the in
surgent" senators made a general hit
with the insurgents" themselves,
quite as much as with the Democrats
and regular Republicans. Mr.. Rayncr
had not resumed his seat before Mr..
Dolliver was recognized.
Before replying to Mr.. Rayner's in
vitation Mr. Dolliver entered upon a
discussion of the capitalization of rail
roads. He advocated the right of the
national government to scrutinize the
issue Of the stocks and bonds of rail-
roads. He said the states could in no
way interfere with the federal control
of interstate commerce, and argued
that the control of the capitalization
might be used for that purpose.
Mr.. Dolliver then declined Mr.. Ray
ner's invitation with thanks in the
course of a comparison of the par
ties.
Senator Bailey outlined his view of
the attitude of the protectionists. He
never had looked upon them as devoid
of patriotism, but he could not UNDER
stand how men accepting the principle
OF protection could wrangle over the
degree of protection.
LAW OF GRAVTTATION
Expressing the conviction the insur-
gents were sincere and patriotic he
intimated they might be drawn toward
the Democratic party by the law of
gravitation.
Referring to the fact that the de-
feated Republican candidate In the
Massachusetts election had been an
insurgent, and had denounced
"Aldrichism and Cannonism," he de-
clared the insurgents could not hope
to win if they undertook TO antagon-
iZe the regulars a the same time they
fought the Democrats.
Mr.. Bailey concluded with the ad-
mission that there were some Demo-
Gratis in the Republican party, and
vice versa. but he denied there were
any Republicans serving in the senate
as Democrats. He said the Republi-
cans would not say there We're no
Democrats serving on the Republican
side of the chamber

copy Of her work to Mark Twain. Here is
his reply:
You write that this little story came to
YOU in a dream. I think it is a remarkable
dream for a girl Of l3 to have dreamed be-
cause it moved by regular grade and sequence
from the beginning to the end which Is not
the habit of dreams II is good piece Of
