LET WOMEN JOIN THE
IMM0RTALS, YELLS PARIS
Barring of Academic Honors Is
Called DepIorabIe

PARIS, April 30-Parisians are dis
cussing a suggestion made by M.
Emile Faguet-when M. Rene Dominic
was received into the Academic Fran
caise last week-that women should
be received into the company of the
immortals
"A law which I consider deplorable.' -
he said, prohibits the admission to
academical honors of persons of the
sex of Nine. de Sevigne, the famous
letter writer of the seventeenth CEN
tury."
These words have aroused much COM
ment and have revealed the fact that
out of the total of forty members near
ly one-third are in favor of sharing
their laurels with women who have
won high distinction in literature.
Following are the views of some of
the Immortals on the subject:
M. Paul Hervieu: 'In my opinion
an equitable solution of the question
would be to create section of the
institute which would be devoted to
feminine merit in letters, arts and sci
ences."
NJ. Emile Faguet "It is quite sim
pie, convinced as 1 am of the intel
lectual equality of man and woman.
/ am in favor of equal rights, and at
the academy more than anywhere
else"
M. Maurice Donnay: 'I think that
the academy should retain the char
acter conferred on 1t by the founder.
Besides, at the present moment, wo-
men have to make conquests other
than the fauteuil beneath the DOME -

WATER TUNNEL PIERCING
ALL EUROPE NEAR END
Monster Project Will Be Com
pIeted in Three Years

GENEVA, April 30.-A waterway
through the heart of Europe, joining
the North sea to the Mediterranean
and passing through Holland, Ger
many, Switzerland and France will be
an accomplished fact within the next
few years.
The Paris municipality has given the
first impetus to the international
scheme by deciding to open naviga-
ton on the Rhone between Geneva and
Marseilles and has decided to construct
a barrage and parallel canal to the
Rhone at Genissiat, an hours journey
by train from Geneva. The work will
be commenced this summer and COM
pleted in 1918.
The Swiss association for navigation
of the Rhohe to the Rhine has pledged
itself to prolong the river route from
Geneva to Basle via the lakes of Neu-
chatel, flows into the Rhine. The North
sea is already connected with Basle
by the Rhine highway.
1t would cost little to construct a
few short canals and deepen the river
beds in Switzerland and this would
have been done long ago. but on ac-
count of the opposition of the railway
companies in France, Switzerland and
Germany. The opposition has now been
counteracted and in the near future a
motor boat or steam yacht will be able
to steam through the heart of Eu-
rope. 4

RIGHT MERRY TIME IS
THIS ON GREEN ISLE
Bishop Takes Hand to Stop the
Driving of Cattle Off the
Grazing Lands

DUJBLIl; April 30-Cattle driving has
again become almost an everyday occurrence
Within the last week or two cases have been
reported from various parts of the country
and several devotees of the hazel have been
sent to jail. In some instances the object
has been to coerce the owner of the land into
selling It for distribution; in others the drive
has been merely an incident in the prosecution
of the hated grazer.
Only the other day several large grazing
farms in the Ballyvaughan district of Galway
were simultaneously cleared of stock On
the previous night a farm near Athenry was
raided with a similar result; and last week
the cattle and sheep belonging to two large
farms in Mayo were driven a distance of
several miles.
In some districts there have been offenses
of a graver character. Compensation has been
claimed from the Glare county council for
the shooting of a bullock and a heifer be-
longing to two tenants in the Curren district
farmer at Ruan, in the county, has
also lodged a claim for the loss of a bullock
which was found with one of its arteries
severed.
DRIVE AT MEATH
case of cattle manning is reported from
Meath At Oristown there a drive in
volving seventeen bullocks and number of
sheep, and the tails of four of the cattle
were cut off. At the recent Meath quarter
sessions counsel for a claimant who was
awarded compensation for the driving of
forty four animals stated that a few houds
before the drive took place Mr. Gnnel M.
p, made a speech in the neighborhood "en-
couraging the practice"
In the adjoining county of Westmeath,
where Mr.. Ginnell originated his campaign,
the implacable hostility displayed against a
farmer named Boyne has drawn a strong re-
monstrance from the Roman Catholic bishop
of Heath There have been five or six drives
off Boyns's farm at Taughmon, for of
which four were sent to prison a fort
night ago. The latest exploit of the kind is
said to have beeen carried out by number
of women, who early in the morning drove
the cattle into the owners yard.
BISHOP INTERVIEWS
The immediate cause Of the bishops inter-
vention was a hostile demonstration directed
against members Of Boyne's family at Taugh-
mon chapel after mass. In letter to the
parish priest Bishop Gaughran remarks that
in the past those who committed great crimes
fed to the church for protection and found
safe asylum in the sanctuary. The bishop
says:
Now those who are guilty Of no crime, but
who are simply defending their Just rights,
won't be allowed to come TO fulfill their duty
to God on Sunday without being insuted in
tba- church porch and treated outside as IL

HERE LIES JOHN FLECKT;
HE DIED OF NEGLECT

BERLIN, April 3O-A tombstone on
the grave of John Fleckt who died
lately at Heligoland has resulted in
an extraordinary lawsuit.
The widow had the following legend
inscribed on the tombstone:
Neglect shortened your life, my be-
loved, when you were in the prime of
manhood"
DIR. Woltersdorf, who attended the
patient, regards the inscription as a
reflection on himself, and he is bring
ing an action for libel against the
widow.
She, on the other hand, maintains
that the inscription refers to her alone.
and that she wishes it to remain as
an everlasting reproach of her own
negligence.

GOOD ROADS FOR LoMITA

Lomita sales the past week aggre-
gated $1O.975. This has been a very
popular subdivision. Interest continues
to increase. A part of the $3,5OO, 900
good roads fund to be spent by the
highway commission will be used on
bo levard that will run through Lo-
mita from Redondo to Wilmington,
connecting with the main boulevard
from Los Angeles to San Pedro.

persons have played a joke on the
dilatory municipal administration of
Paris. Early in the morning they

DR.. Handley'S Anniversary

The Rev. Dr.. Human S. Handleys an
ni,,ersarv celebration, which begins to-
night. will be an occasion of more than
ordinary interest. As pastor in Birming-
ham for Sc years and as pastor oil the
Central Presbyterian church for 20 years
DIR. Handley has endeared himself not
only to those of his own communion, but
To the people of this city without regard
to creed.
The faithful pastor is a great moral IN
euence in every community. And ~heh
that pastor combines as Dr. Haioies
does sturdy manhood, broad human SYM
nathies. grace of character and Christ
lilo tenderness his power for good can
not be overestimated. Birmingham mas

owing to his longer service here. Dr.
Handley's position is almost unique. HIS
religious leadership mas 49,
unassuming, but because of those very
qualities it has impressed itself all the
more upon Birmingham's citizenship.
In his own congregation DR.. Handiey

those in affliction. And to every man anu

The Summer Concerts
lahoma City

Park concerts during the summer under
the auspices of the Music Study club
are practically assured, but the fund
which the ladies of the club are collect
ing has not yet reached a total which
will Justify them in engaging a band for
a term extending into September. These
good women are striving to make Br-
mingham attractive to the people who
cannot afford vacations or summer out
inrs They have received several large
contributions and numerous small ones,
but they lack something like $1,000 If they
are To provide open air music throughout
the remainder of the warm weather.
The Music Study club has asked the
City Council to assist by appropriating
$500. In most cities the size Of Birming-
ham the municipal government provides
all the money for park music-and there
is scarcely a city without such music;
but here the city is asked to give only
small part. 1t is hoped tina. the council
may see it's way clear to appropriate 500
for this cause.

Oklahoma'S New Capital

The question of removing the capital
~ Ollahona was referred by the legisla-
ture to the people, and when the referen-
aur went against Guthrie and in favor
of Oklahoma City the former at once
nrocured an injunction from the district
federal court forbidding Governor Haskell
and other state officers from removing
their offices to Oklahoma City. Governor
Haskell at once decided that the federal
court was meddling with the affairs of
an American state, and he decided, there
fore to disregard its injunction. He also
decided that the capital was instantly
and automatically changed as soon as the
votes were cast in the referendum.
The state records still remain in Guthrie,
and Governor Haskell is about to call
ont regiment of the state militia to
seize them and to carry them away from
all injunctions, state or federal
This is probably one case that the in
junction business does not fit. An ener-
setic and strenuous executive of SOW
ereign state does not propose to wait upon
iniunctions from inferior courts, and the
Injunction getters will no doubt have
to pay their lawyers and let the battle
fall into desuetude, for no power in Okla
homa can carry Governor Haskell back
to Guthrie while he prefers TO stay and
do the states business in hotel in Ok
lahoma City.

Improvement In the Crop Outlook

The condition of crops throughout the

good crops. Dry May and wet June al
ways make en-" This may be said to
be a condition that covers all the cot

crops including cotton promise about 10
per cent better than they did last year.
Allscrops look well in the two states, and
as one scans the states further east no
conditions are found pointing to minimum
crops.
A careful survey of agricultural con-
ditions in the northwest point to a win
