Opportunity of sufraaist.

Baroness A1etta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace oy doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

ACCUSED OF. Theft
ALLEGATIONS MADE EDWARD C..
RlTsHER TOOK MONEY RUN.
MING INTO THOUSANDS.
BELoIT COLLEGE IS VICTIM
Said to Have Been Mulcted of $4,000
Money Sunk in Wall Street
Client and Partners Lose-Suicide
is Hinted At.

Chieago.-Edward C. Ritsher, per-
konal counsel for John R. Walsh DUR
ing his fight against government
prosecution and who died last June. is
accused of being a defaulter to the
extent of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The accusation made public Thurs
day comes upon the people OF Chicago
as suddenly as did the news of the
death of John r. Walshs favorite
counselor. The charges which attack
the good name of the dead lawyer are
many-branched and involve double
dealing with his law partners, appro-
pr1ating fee from one of them, en-
bezzling from Beloit college trust
funds, of which he had the custody,
and robbing Mr.. Walsh at the time
when he was the most trusted con-
fidant in the defense of the banker.
Trustees of Beloit college, of which
Ritsher was custodian of securities,
and the deceased attorneys legal as
sociates decided to suffer whatever
losses they may have sustained in
silence and not to air the charges
against the noted lawyer.
Discovery of Ri.sher's alleged
duplicity was made shortly before his
death. While in New York he was
summoned to Chicago by his partners
and asked to make restitution and ex-
PLANTATION. Ritsher left New York.
making an appointment to meet his
partners in Chicago. He arrived here
two or three days before the date
Of the appointment. He died sud
denly, within less than twenty-four
hours of the time set for his meeting
Here are some of the allegations
that are made gainst the dead attor-
ney:
That securities belonging to Beloit
college and valued at $4,000, which
were in Ritsher's keeping, disap-
peared. John r. Walsh came to tho
rescue, giving Ritsher $4,000, which
was turned over to the college.
Ritsher then gave a note for $780, 900
to the college secured by Is of his
best friends
That, after Ritsher's law firm had
done vast amount of work on the
Walsh case his partners asked If
some finaLciaI return could not be OBJ
tanned, and Ritsher told them that
Walsh was hard up" and could not
give them any money at the time.
Walsh, however, had paid him fee
of s170, 900 and an additional fee of
$50, 900, which Ritsher concealed from
his partners.
That Ritsher converted to his own
use the securities given by Mr.. Walsh
to secure the two notes Of $4,000.
That Ritsher double crossed" his
client. John r. Walsh When arrange
ments were being made for sweaSng
out the writ of certiorayi in the United
States Supreme court Walsh gave his
note for S25, 900. and with it 5000
worth of securities as collateral At
the same time he made out note for
$4,000. payable to John s. Miller, an
other of his attorneys, and gave
Ritsher $4,000 worth Of securities for
the note which the attorney was TO
turn over to Miller.
