FOR WOMEN'.S PRISON.
4ppeal To Be Made for Nc7c
Federal Building.

Tie Woman's Forum is going to write
another letter. Mrs. j. Ellen Foster spoke
at yesterdays meeting Of that organization,
at No. q West 44th street, on the need of
a federal prison for women, and after her
speech a committee was formed to asitate
the matter and to ask Attorney General
Wickersham if such building could not be
erected.
Before the letter is sent to Mr., Wicker
sham it Will he passed around to the vari
Gus women : clubs of New York for their
Endorsement
If Mrs. Fosters advice is taken the Con-
gressmen from New York will get letters
on the same subject. ASK YOUR Congress
men, said Mrs Foster. where the govern
ment keeps its women prisoners. and they'll
tell you they don't know. Then you can tell
your Congressman that no provision is
made for these women-that they are
boarded out in various prisons in the states,
in most of which there is absolutely no
work for them TO do.
IF You could see some OF these women,
as | have-bis, animal women. shut Up with
nothing 10 spend their animal energy on
and If you knew some of the abuses in
prisons TO which his state of things gives
rise, you'd realize how pressing is the in
dustrial question in this matter of the gov
ernment's women prisoners. There ought
TO be prison for these women with plenty
of land around II, where thev could be
kept at work from o'clock in the morning
until noon, and from o'clock until night.
raising corn, potatoes and onions Work
these women so hard that they will sleep
healthily at night. ana the vices that are
made rampant in them by the present hot
house treatment will die out
Every woman In the clutches Of the law
ought TO be taught trade. so that when
she goes out into the world again she'll
have something to sell besides herself"

LIFTING BRIDGE ACROSS
CHANNEL, NEW RR. PLAN
Southern Pacific Wants Change,
and U. S. Engineer Calls
Public Hearing

The Southern Pacific company ana
the Southern Pacific railroad company
have submitted to the government a
plan for a direct lifting bridge across
the navigable channel on the northerly
side of Smiths island between the
turning basin and the west basin in
Los Angeles harbor.
The railroad companies desire 1t TO
be used in lieu of the plan submitted
by them at the public hearing on the
matter October g. Their new PROPOSE
tion calls for a direct liftin- bridge OF
$50 feet clear span, lifting to a height
of $50 feet above mean low water.
Captain w. p. Stokey of the corps OF
engineers, United States army, has is
sued a notice to all interested persons
to the effect that there will be public
hearing on the plan before him at 10
o'clock the morning of. November 30,
at the office of the United States en-
gineer. 72S Central building.
All persons who have anything 10
say on the matter will be given an
opportunity to be heard that day and
as all papers will be laid before the Sec
retary of war for his decision, Captain
Stokey suggests that 1t perhaps will be
advisable for those desiring to offer
opinions and suggestions to do so in
writing.

PERFORMER IN BLAZING
SUIT SUFFERS INJURIES
Eugene Savage Burned on Face
as He Slides Down Gable
at Long Beach

LONG BEACH, Nov. 24.-Eugene
Savage, sliding down a cable to a
buoy in the ocean tonight, dressed in
a blazing suit, was in greater hurry
to reach the water than any of the
great throng which saw him suspected.
Savage arrived at his destination
minus his eyebrows and some of the
hair on his head. If the flames had
not been extinguished promptly he
might have suffered more serious in
juries. AS it was his face was badly
scorched.
Dressed in an asbestos suit, and with
an asbestos mask and hood to protect
his face and head, Savage touched a
match to his oil smeared suit and
started on his thrilling slide. His alb
bestos mask came off, and Immediate
ly Savage tried to hurry. Meanwhile
he held his eyes and mouth shut to
save his sight and avoid inhaling
flame. His presence of mind in this
respect probably saved him from
serious injury.
There was a strike tonight among
the women who had arranged to put
on hen pheasant and similar cos
tunes and accompany their Chante-
cleer escorts along the Pike. They
discovered that the lower portions Of
their costumes were not practicable.
Miss Daisy Johnson won the first
prize for the best feminine costume
She was dressed as "a peacock John
McNally, dressed as Chantecleer,
took first prize among the men. d.
T Fuller, as a white owl, took second
prize.
