ed by the Era club, leading woman's
organization of Louisiana, which has
received pledges of support from 9TH
er similar organizations throughout
young woman. The Era club has an
nounced that it will depend upon the
'unwritten law" in defense of the girl.
In a resolution on the subject the club
declares that men have been invaria-
bly, acquitted on grounds of the un-
written law and there is no logical
reason why this law should not apply
to women. Another ground for ap-
peal which will be prosecuted by the
club in the event the girl is convict
ed on her first trial, it is said, will be
the invocation of the aid of the Fed
eral courts on the ground that Miss
Mclaughlin was not tried by jury
of her peers in the absence OF feml-
nine members on the jury. A well
known constitutional lawyer is said to
have advised the club of the possibil-
tiles of this situation.
johnson City, Tenn, August p:
The movement inaugurated by the
Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio railway
to bring back home" native born Vir-
ginians, Tennesseeans and Carolinians
now living in the west has, in only two
weeks time, proved a most popular
undertaking. Newspapers in the three
states, people who have absent rela-
tives and public officials are impressed
with the value of the plan and are
doing all they can to further 1t. Re-
plies to inquiries at over 500 postof-
fees in southwest Virginia, east Ten
nessee and western North Carolina,
made by the industrial department OF
the railroad, show that probably To-
900 Young men removed from these
sections in the five years preceding the
building of the railroad. Their ad-
dresses are now being obtained by the
railroad, and information concerning
the new opportunities it has made pos
sible, especially for farming, fruit and
stock raising, is being sent them. AS
an immigration plan southern editors
are saying that 1t is the most practi-
cal of any yet undertaken in the south;
that the most desirable population for
any country is the native born stock
in these mountain sections.
Washington, August %: The treaty
between Japan and Korea, by which
the hermit kingdom is annexed as a
sovereign part of Japan with an agree
ment entered into with the department
officials and Baron Uchida, the Japan
ese ambassador to the United States.
In addition to the text of the conVen-
ton a declaration of the Japanese
government concerning the effects OF
the annexation upon powers enjoying
treaties with Japan is made public.
Existing Korean schedules covering
imports from foreign countries, and
regulations governing coasting trade.
will be continued for ten years. The
United States specifically is acquaint-
ed with the fact that the copyright
and patent laws of Japan will be eX-
tended to Korea. The treaty declares
that the failure of the two countries
to proceed as rapidly as was desirable
toward a closer union led to the coal
ition. The Korean imperial household
is to be given peerages under the ia
panese regime, with annuities suffi-
cient to maintain the dignity of their
new honors. Titles and annuities also
will be conferred on leading Korean
officials. This instrument is lengthy
one.
1t has been announced that the
postoffice department would issue a
new form of domestic money order in
the near future. A principal feature
of the new form will be a detachable
coupon, to take the place of the ad-
vice on the present slips. and which
will be presented with the money or
der by payee or endorsee at the pay
ing office. It is stated that the names
of the remitter and payee will not ap-
pear in the body of the order, but the
will serve to acquaint or remind the
payee of the name of the person enti-
tied to credit for the remittance. The
order and coupon together are some
what longer than the order now in
use, but may be handled conveniently
with commercial paper by banks and
business houses. The width is the
same as that Of the present order.
Beginning with the earliest date at
which the government printer at
Washington will be ready TO print and
ship such forms, domestic money or
ders of the new styles will he furnish
ed to all postoffices in the United
States 1t is stated that the orders
now in stock at the various postoffices
in the country will be used up before
the new ones will be asked for.
