PRESIDENT INSULTED
BY THE SUFFRAGETTES

this subject somewhat. In the nrst
place, the proper republican govern
ment we approve and support because,
on the whole. every intelligent elias
that is, every set of individuals simil-
arly situated in a community, inteill-
gent enough to know what their inter-
ests are-is better qualified to deter
mine how those interests shall be
cared for and preserved thany any
other class, however altrustic
There is another qualification,
which is that the class which has SUIT
rage should care enough for their In
terests to take part in the exercise of
political power If conferred upon
them. If they do not, then it seems
to me that the danger is if the pow
er of suffrage is granted, 1t will be
exercised by that part of the class
which is less desirable"
That was the signal for the up
heaval. The leaders of the conven-
ton who sat on the platform sur
rounding the president, blushed as the
Kisses burst from their comrades lips.
Those in the audience who did not
hiss frantically endeavored to restrain
their sisters when the president took
the situation in his own hands and
told the ladies what he thought of
their action. He did not speak at all
angrily.
IF / could be sure" he continued,
that woman as a class would exercise
the franchise, l would be in favor of
it. At present there exists in my
mind considerable doubt. Permit me
to say that the task before you in
establishing your political rights is
not in convincing the men, but in
convincing your own class. Even If
I disagree with you. not in principle.
but in the application of it to the
present situation, l will hope you will
not deem me ungracious in saying as
much as I have. I came here with
an understanding by your committee
as to what 1 probably should say
They knew that 1 would not subscribe
to all you advocate"
When the president concluded he
shook hands with Rev. DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the asso-
citation. and other leaders. He then
left, accompanied by his military aide,
Captain Archibald Butt. The dele
gates rose as Tie pTeSlueHt Was eScOTl-
ed from the hall.
At the conclusion of the session
many of the delegates expressed
themselves as Inundated over the his
sing incident.
Officers of the association expressed
deep regret that the president of the
United States should have been treat
ed so deplorably' but they pointed to
the fact that a majority of the audi
ence was made up of outsiders, not
delegates to the convention and claim
ed the outsiders were responsible for
the kissing.
Senator owen of Oklahoma endors-
ed the suffrage movement and dared
any man to get upon the floor and an
sWer his arguments. Some man who
did not rise, shouted Tyranny" and
the delegates laughed.
At the conclusion of the session it
was announced that public demon
stration will be made by the delegates
in the open air tomorrow. 1t will be
held in front of one of the public
buildings, probably the capitol.

FIRES BARN AND THEN TELLS
Little Morris Elliott Sets Barn on
Fire and Then Tells His Parents
to Call Department.

After ~piling an armful of straw
against the side of the barn and touch
ing match to it, Morris, the little
3-year son of William Elliott, a
prominent farmer living on South Pa
louise street. ran in and told his par
ents what had been done and to call
the fire department. BY that time the
blaze had caught the lower woodwork
and the barn was afire. An alarm
was Immediately sent in and was re-
sponded to by chemicals from both
stations. The blaze was soon under
control and only one end of the barn
badly damaged. No stock was in the
barn at the time and very little dam
age done.

REVENUE STAMP
NOT BIG ENOUGH

home and started a real distillery.
Everything went along smoothly for
time and Cureton was making money
as we'll as whiskey The government
storekeeper and gauger visited his
place from time to time and verified
the amount of liquor that he was max
ing and saw that his account of mate
rial used was correct. His neighbors
/ had their regular supply of mountain
dew" with the government 90. K" on
it, and voted Cureton good fellow.
But this peaceful scene could not
last forever After some months the
state authorities learned of this far
violation of the state laws. and they
rent a sheriff to- investigate. Cureton
was arrested and brought to trial in the
course of which the government store
keeper and gauger, 3. P. Thompson by
name. was called upon to testify as to
what was in Cureton's workshop.
Thompson refused to give any informal
ton on the ground that government
regulations prohibited a revenue officer
from disclosing any knowledge gained
in the course of his business He was
promptly sent to Jail for contempt of
court.
About the same time deputy collector
w. E. Crockett broke off and removed
the lock which had been placed on the
distillery by the sheriff, and he was
placed in prison.
The national government was ar
rayed against the state government,
agents of the one upholding the treas
ury departments regulations and off,
Gals and others supporting the
trampled dignity of the state laws and
courts. There were habeas corpus and
other court proceedings brought and
sides refused to recognize the authority
of the other and a really ugly situation
was created
The row started early last fall and 1t
was not Until day or two ago that an
amicable adjustment was reached.
The government revenue agents plead
ed guilty of technical contempt of
court and the cases against them were
at once dismissed.
But poor Cureton. who had pinned
his faith to the government stamp, was
fined $1,000 with the alternative of going
to state prison for year.

WASHlEG'f0 ON, April 1.-THE
president of the United States the
first chief executive of the nation ever
to greet a convention of women suff-
ragists, tonight had the courage to
confess his opinion and was Kissed. So
great was the throng that sought ad-
mission to the hall that hundreds
were turned away.
President Taft was Wyoming to
Washington the delegates to the con-
Yention of the National Woman Stuff
rage association. He told them frank
ly he was not altogether in sympathy
with the suffrage movement and was
explaining why he could not subscribe
fully to it's principles. He said he
thought one of the dangers in grant
ing suffrage to woman was that wo-
men, as whole, were not Interested
in it and, the bahot, as far as women
are concerned. would be controlled by
the less desirable class"
When these words fell from the
presidents lips. the walls of the hall
echoed chorus of feminine Kisses. 1t
WAS no feeble demonstration of pro-
test. The combined Kisses sounded as
if "a valve of steam engine had bro
ken.
Taft Rebuked Women.
President Taft stood unmoved in
the demonstration of hostility-for the
misses continued for but a moment
and then, smiling, as he spoke, he an
severed the unfavorable greeting with
this retort:
Now, my dear ladies. you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage
by exercising that degree of restraint
which is necessary in the conduct or
governmental affairs by not Kissing"
The women who had Kissed were
rebuked The presidents reply ap-
parently had taken hold. There were
no more Kisses while the president
continued his address. which he char
acterized as my confession" on the
woman suffrage question. At the con-
clusion of his talk, he was applauded
and some of the leaders of the con-
ventiOn expressed to him their sin
cere regret. over the unpleasant Incl
dent.
President Taft assured them his
feelings were not injured in the lesat.
Words That Evoked Kisses.
II am not entirely certain" said
the president, after he had been cour-
teousIy presented to the convention by
Rachel Foster Avery, vice president
at the association, that I ought to
lave come here tonight, but your COM
nlittee assured me | should welcome
even if L did not support all the views
which are advanced in this conven-
ton. But, cunsider this movement
represents q sufficient part of the in
telligence, of the community to justify
nay coming and welcoming you to
Washington.
The difficulty L expect to encount-
er is this: At least the difficulty
which occurs to me as judge of my
own feelings when my interest in
campaign is aroused, to wit:
When l was Is years old and was
graduated from the Woodward high
school in Cincinnati, 1 took for my
graduation subject Woman Suffrage
and that time I was as strong an adj
Yocate of woman suffrage and my
father was a suffragist.'
The women cheerel at this point in
his address. The hall was a mass of
waving of handkerchiefs but the Wav-
ing ceased when the president said
it'll emphasis:
Taft Was Young Then.

GRANITE PLATFORMS.
(Tombstone ProspectorJ l,

'
 By a recent order of the F.. P. & IS. W. officials. all high platforms abutting the man line tracks of that road have been ordered removed and in their place d walk even with the rails is being laid. composed of cin- ders and sand as a foundation. and then a heavy layer of decomposed granite is laid over this, which when packed down makes an excellent walk. being entirely free from mud, and when it ans the water imme- diately peroolates the granite and in time practically solidifes it and makes an ideal walk
 The granite. which as stated before lis of the decomposed variety. is se- cured in cut or quarry just outside the Tombstone city limits. It is be- ing shipped at the rate of two cars a day to alI stations where the sta ton platform changes are being made as well as to stations where cinder platforms or walks have heretofore been laid. and the cinder walks are being covered with the granite. Two care were sent to Hachita this week.

EMBROIDERY ADVICE.

If you are thinking of doing em- broidery for your men friends, make sure that they do not dispise such frills as feminine. If you must em- broider. whether he likes it or not at least make sure that your work is suitable.
 It is folly for any girl to waste her time on bureau scarfs, draperies table covers or pin cushions for men. They will think it lumber and give it to the wash woman. if they dare. The ubiquitous pillow is no longer appreciated. even by the college boy. They are much less used than for merly and should be distinctive. to please.
 Never give man a frilly pillow. It should be substantial; aot too per ishable in shade, and unless you arc very much in love get effect with least work.
 A pillow that is in good taste Is a gray or tan colored linen taffeta or art canvas, with the seal of the college embroidered on it in heraldic coloring.
 This is newer than the more garish embroideries fin college tones of ma terial and if the case is made to button. laundering is easy. But that reminds me that l was not able to secure art canvas in our stores. when I last tried. but no doubt any of our merchants would be willing to get it for you, if you ask them
 Do not use white moire or satin with rich embroideries in gold or silver thread when working for a man. If he does not use it for a footstool some of his friends will. Also avoid ruffles. lingerie materials. or delicate blue pink and violet. which are unsu table for a mans room. Do not, however. make the mistake of thinking that any sort of pillow will do for a man. Most of them. particularly if in college. will

PULLMAN RATES
 ORDERED REDUCED

WASHINGTON. Aprl 16.-The h. terstate Commerce commission in a decision today holds it to be unjust and unreasonable" for the Pullman company to charge equally for the upper and lower berths in it's sleep ing cars Differential charges are or Gered in several instances and the Pullman rates from Chicago to the Pacific coast are ordered reduced.
 While this ruling of the commis- son orders reductions in rates which were specifically and formally com plained of. it is recognized as the opening wedge for a readjustment of sleeping car rates wherever they ex- ceed the average which the commis- sion has found to be just and reason able In these instances. The Pull man company it is stated, will carry the decision of thecourts.
Bisbee daily review., 1910-04-19

Le Just as scornful of cheap tinted beauties as will a woman of good taste.
 Where insignia are not 10 be psed or special society colcls. one of the best des' 'gns for a mans pillow is a large monogram in medallion form worked in raised satin stitch. This looks well done in self tones with the cover: that is, Ia the mate. rial Is a dull blue rep or cotton Eaoire. The monogram can be in three other colors. A blncx outline VII often heighten the effect.
 For young men. pennants in col. lege or athletic colors are liked These may be worked either in a fine French flannel brnadcloth or what is handsOmer. heavy corded silk. The lettering may b- done in satin stitch or the outlnes can ha corded and the interior filled with seeding.
 Another suitable gift for your friend is a half dozen or a dozeu initials or monogram embroidered in the corner, they are always in good taste and will be used.
 Again, if your husband or friend wishes h's clothing marked you may embroider. where they will not show when worn, his initials on his shirts socks and neckties.

CHICAGO PLANS ISLAND
TO BE BUILT OF REFUSE.
Lake Michigan Resorted to as Solution
of Dumping Problem.

What will Chicago do with its street
sweepings. ashes and other rubbish
few years hence?
That Is the question which is puz-
zling those who have charge OF the dis
position Of the city's waste. Within
three years, It is estimated, every clay
hole and abandoned quarry In the city
will be filed. Suitable dumping places
are becoming scarce. Soon all will
have been utilized.
Several plans for the disposition OF
the city's refuse after all holes have
been filed have been discussed. Among
them are:
The burning OF all rubbish and waste
matter.
The filing In OF excavations or low
places outside the city limits.
Construction OF an island In Lake
Michigan.
Building an island In the lake Is an
idea formulated by Robert NJ. Coch-
rane. acting superintendent of streets.
He declares that II could be done east
ly.
Rikers island, In the East river, OPP
posite One Hundred and Thirty eighth
street, in New York. was built of the
city's refuse. An addition of 173 acres
is now being made. and when IT Is com
pleted 1t Is estimated that the made
island" will be worth 100000. Mr..
Cochrane thinks such an island should
be built In the lake and transformed
into park.
The problem Of disposing of the
city's refuse is getting to be serious, "
said Charles 1. Smith, assistant super
intendent OF streets. Chicago will be
facing a big problem IN n few years.
took an automobile trip around the
city a few days ago in a search for
suitable dumping grounds, and l found
that they are very scarce"
In the outlying districts ashes gath
cred in the alleys during the winter
are used in the construction OF new
streets. Filling OF the lowlands In the
Calumet lake industrial plant district
may be considered when all clay holes
have been utilized.
