RECRUIT AGED 50
Madam Severance, Mother of
Women's Clubs, Joins the
Equal Rights Crusade

Though in her 91st year, organizer
OF many of the women's clubs and as
sociations of California and of Amer
lea and a member of many more,
Madam Caroline Severance, 806 West
Adams street, often called "the mother
of women's clubs" yesterday found
time to join one more association that
has as its cause equal rights for wo-
men, the United Suffragettes Of Amer
lea.
1t was through the request of Alice
L. Park of Palo Alto, who is visiting
with Madam Severance while in Los
Angeles, and who is one. of the leading
spirits In the womsn's cause in Cali
fornia, that the new member of the
United Suffragettes was induced to be-
come a member and aid that organiza-
tion with her ripe years of experience.
Alice Park, In her letter to the main
eastern office of the organization, an
nouncing Madam Severance's enlist
ment, wrote as follows:
"She has in her life of 80 years stood
in the lead In all lines of progress from
the old days when she organized the
first woman's club in New England to
this, the day she joins the United Suf-
fragettes of America.
"She has advanced dress reform, d.
rect ventilation, early kindergartens,
votes for women, all work of women
OOClhllS1Ilp every AA1OFO-
ment, peace, and with all these she
has consistently kel keen eye on the
relation of all educational reforms to
each other. 1t Is a joy to add her
name to the hoonraple roll"
Madam Severance'S veteran expert
ence in woman's causes was enlisted
in the United Sutfragettes organiza-
ton in the office of the Political Equal
ity league, 512 Story building. Several
noted workers in the suffragette move-
ment in Southern California were
present. among them Mrs. Charles
Farwell Edison.
The office of the Political Equality
league in the Story building, which
opened recently, is elegantly furnished
in an artistic manner. On the walls
are oil paintings and crayon work
loaned by members interested in the
cause that in value amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars.
The pictures of Lucy Stone, Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Madam Caro-
line Severance are especially interest
ing. Each is a reproduction of these
famous women when they were at the
zenith of their careers.

FRANCE TO FAVOR
j. s. DRIED FRUIT
Complaint of Southern California
Growers Procures Favorable
Change in BoraciC Tests

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Restric-
tive regulations on the part of the
governments of France affecting the
products Of the dried fruit producers
of California have bee modified, ac-
cording to information supplied the
state department by Robert Bacon,
the American ambassador at Paris.
The California dried fruit producers
complained-to this government some
time ago that their trade in France,
particularly in peaches and apricots,
recently had been interfered with on
the ground that the products contained
boracic acid.
The matter was taken up by the
American ambassador with the French
authorities, and the state department
was informed today In a message from
Mr.. Bacon that he had been advised
by the foreign office that recent analy-
ses had shown that boracic acid ex-
listed normally in nearly all fruits.
In consequence, he said, the Califor-
mia. dried fruits in the future would
be subjected by the French govern
ment to an analysis less stringent than
formerly-one which would show bo-
racic acid only when present in the
fruit from other natural causes.
A certificate of origin for dried
fruits which had been offered by the
California fruit growers will not be
required by the French government.

GIRL IS
H0LD-UP VICTIM
BuSinesS-Like Thief with a Gun
RobS Woman in Orange
Street Near Figueroa

Within two minutes after alighting
from a street car at 6:45 o'clock last
night, Miss Alice Corvell, q pretty
young woman living at 615 Loomis
street, was held u by lone highway
man while she was walking In Orange
street, less than half block from her
home, and robbed of SO and gold
stick pin. The robber ordered the vic
tim to close her eyes, then ran across
the street to vacant lot and made
his escape in the direction of Seventh
street.
Miss Corvell was walking west in
Orange street and was nearing Loomis
street when a slim young man attired
in dark clothes and wearing black
slouch hat sauntered toward her In a
leisurely manner. Just as the young
woman reached point near a large
tree the bandit quickened his steps.
walked up to her, pressed small
nickel-plated revolver to her body and
ordered her to keep quiet.
The sudden move greatly frightened
Miss Corvell, and she stepped back
and attempted to scream. The roboer
followed her and again pressed the
weapon to her side, warning her
against making any outcry.
The highwayman then seized the
handbag carried by Miss CorVell,
opened 1t and took SO and gold SUCK
pin. After making sure that she had
nothing else of value in the purse, he
ordered her to close her eyes, count
twenty-five and then hurry on her way
without raising an alarm.
MAKES GIRL CLOSE EYES
Miss Corvell hesitated on obeying
the command, fearing that the man
would attempt to harTD her. The ban
dit flourished his revolver and again
ordered her to close her eyes, stating
that he wished to get away and did
not want her to see which way he
went. This time the young woman
shut her eyes, but opened them In
time to see the man hurrying across a
vacant lot on the opposite side or the
street.
Miss Corvell watched the robber until
he disappeared in the direction or
Seventh street. She then hurried TO
her home, lust around the corner, and
telephoned to the police.
Two detectives were detailed to IN
vestigate the matter. They inter-
viewed the young woman, mace d
search of. the neighborhood and re-
turned within a short time without
having obtained any clew as to the
identity of the bandit.
According to the description given by
the victim, the highwayman is a
young man, about 25 years of age, of
slim build and about feet inches
in height He has a narrow face, a
prominent nose and extremely large
eyes. He has dark hair and is smooth
shaven. He was wearing dark suit
Of clothes and a black hat.
From the description the police be-
Iieve the bandit to be victim of the
drug habit. The officers say the ban
dit probably was under the influence
of some drug at the time, which ac-
counts for the bold manner in which
the robbery was committed at such
an early hour of the evening
1t was learned that number OF
persons were passing along Figueroa
street, within a half block of where
Miss Corvell was robbed, and were ig-
norant of the fact that crime was
being committed less than fifty yards
away.
