VOTES OF WOMEN
Some Of the Details Of Their Work at
Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. Elm their
work at the polls yesterday the wo-
men of Los Angeles justified the san
guine expectation of the officers and
members of the Woman's Progressive
League. Every woman who had been
assigned a part in the campaign re-
ported for duty on the instant, and
filed the day with yeoman service.
Not a single precinct Captain was pre-
vented from taking charge of her ter
ritory and $500 women under the di-
rection of the league participated in
the days work.
Today many men who had opposed
the granting of suffrage to women
we're loud in praise of their work at
the polls.
The wonder of the day lay in tho
percentage of women's votes cast out
of the total registration. 1t was esti-
mated by Miss Converse last night
that from 80 to IS per cent Of all the
women registered went to the polls.
In Precinct l, which is at Garvanza,
every woman on the registration
books voted except one who is dang
erously sick In No 1877 only one
vote was lost. No. 81 lost only six
votes among the women. Only nine
failed to vote in No. 1875 and in No 81
only three did not appear. II is doubt
full II such a record was ever before
made in an election anywhere.
Election Board members declared
that the women not only outvoted the
men in nearly all the precincts, but
showed more aptitude in handling
their ballots. They cast their votes
more quickly, they did not need as
much coaching and explaining as the
men, and they worked harder than the
men for their favorite candidates.
The vote Of the women on the city
ordinances showed discrimination.
There were three of them. the most
important being the drastic prohibit
ton measure. designed to make the
city dry as bone" The women vot.
ed overwhelmingly against that. but
they declared for a municipal news
paper.
Predictions that reduction in Joseph
SCOTS vote would show the effect OF
the Mcnamara case even more con.
clusively than the defeat Of Hartman
were practically verified. Scott, who
was one of the attorneys for the dyna-
miters, is President of the Municipal
School Board. He was a candidate
for reelection on the Good Govern
ment ticket. and ran more than 1000
votes behind the rest OF his ticket.

JOSEPHINE JOYS CAREER
AS Revealed by Dispositions Made In
Case In Plttsburg, Pa.

New York, Dec. 7.--A,s special dis
patch to the World from Pittsburg,
Pa, states that several startling de-
positions were heard Tuesday before
Federal Judge Charles p. Orr, in that
city relative to the $4,000 alienation
suit brought by Alma V. Sturteyant Of
Passaic, n j. against w. b. Sterling
of Erie, Pa. Sturtevant not long ago
brought suit against Sterling, alleging
alienation of the affections of his

the stage as Josephine JOY, who form

short time ago appeared in q yaude-
vile act in that city. According
to the dispatch the case OF Sturtevant

positions. and counsel for the plaintiff

REAL WILSON IDENTIFIED
Fraudulent Subscription Agent Who
Vctimized Residents Of Bennington.

G. p Endress, who was one of the
victims of the travelling subscription
agent who operated in Bennington
under the name of Wilson" has re-
ceived letter from the Curtis Pub
fishing company to whom Mr.. En-
dress forwarded the receipt given by
Wilson" The company writes Mr..
Endress that it will share his loss and
will take his subscription to the Sat
urday Evening Post at the half rate
of rs cents.
Enclosed with the letter is circu-
lar with photographs of Frederick
Raster whom Mr.. Endress Identifies
as the man who under the name of
Wilson" took his subscription to the
Saturday Evening Post. The identi-
fication is made all the more complete
by the reproduction of one of the re-
ceipts given by Raster while operating
in the middle west and which tallies
in every particular with the receipts
given to the fraudulent agents vic
tins in this village with the single ex-
ception of the signature.
Raster has a prison record, having
been arrested in Michigan some time
ago. The Curtis Publishing company
offers reward of 500 for Kasters
arrest and conviction.
1t is not believed that Raster oper-
ated for any length of time in this
village. He is known to have taken
at least four fraudulent subscriptions,
the latest victim announced being Cal
vim Endress. There are undoubtedly
others.

FAKE VETERAN IS
HEARD FROM At
COLERA|N
Got Sis From Edgar Cope
land There.
CLAIMED WAS JESSE JONES
Same Man Who Under the Name Of !,
Rogers Obtained Money Re-
Gently at Rupert.

The clever swindler who gets mon
ey from veterans by claiming to be
an old soldier has been heard from In
Colerain where he secured SIS from
Edgar Copeland, prominent farmer
and stock grower.
The man said his name was Jesse
Jones" and that he was member Of
Company X, Ninth Vermont regiment
of infantry. Mr.. Copeland was vet
eran of that company and remembered :
Jesse Jones as young man, but az
he hadn't seen him for thirty years,
did not question the mans story.
The faker put up his usual story
that he had been to the funeral Of a
daughter and was on the way back to
the soldiers home here at Bennington.
He said he was Ill and Mr.. Copeland
took him in and kept him for week
and then started him on his way with
S15 in his pocket.
Col Thomas Harmon, superinten-
dent of the soldiers home was also
member of Company X Of the Ninth
and this morning Mr.. Copeland called
up the Home to see If Zones" had ar
rived safely. The man is undoubted-
ly the same who victimized people in
Rupert recently He there. claimed
his name to be Rogers"
Mr.. Copeland told Col. Harmon that
he would come to Bennington and
would make an effort to run down the
swindler. Mr.. Copeland is a well-to-
do man and can afford to lose the
money, but objects to having other
veterans swindled. An interesting
feature OF the case is that the real
Jesse Jones is still living in Jamaica,
this state. Col Harmon suspects that
the swindler has probably sometime
called on Mr.. Jones and so knows
something about him as in his talk
with Mr.. Copeland he told some things
that showed knowledge of Jones' life.

CHICAGO PACKERS
TO STAND TRIAL
At LAST
Have Fought It Off For Eight
Years.
HEADS OF BEEF TRUST
All Pleaded Not Guilty and Work OF
Getting a Jury Was Begun
Yesterday

Chicago, Dec. AFTER eight years
deviation in the way of grand juries
and special pleas, the cases of 10
Chicago meat packers, indicted for al
legged violation of the criminal provis-
ions OF the Sherman antitrust law,
reached trial yesterday. Indications
were that the early stages of the trial
at least would be rapid, for the govern
ment's examination of the first panel
of jurymen was brief. BY agreement,
each side is entitled TO 80 peremptory
challenges. BY night the government
had exercised 10 of these. None OF
the veniremen had been questioned
by the defense.
Questions by Attorney Sheean, for
the government, indicated that the &C.
ceptability Of juror hinged chiefly on
his willingness to accept as part OF
the governments functions regula
tons of the affairs of private business
The personal relations of each pros
pective juror might have had with any
of the defendants we're also gone into
carefully. All of the defendants were
in court Immediately after the case
was called Personal pleas of not
guilty were entered and the examina
ton of yeniremen began.
Richmond Dean, general manager Of
the Pullman company, fellow-clut
member of most of the defendants
who was passed in the morning ses
sion, was challenged by the govern
ment in the afternoon, notwithstand
ing his assertion that his friendship
with the defendants would not prevent
his rendering an impartial verdict
Robert Grant, an official of the Nation
al hinge company, was also challenged
when he said he would have con
scientious scruples against enforcing 9
penalty for violation of the Sherman
law. Other veniremen who expressed
doubt OF the propriety of the govern
ment exercising control of business
conduct peremptorily were challeng
ed.

G. o. Abbott, Grocer, Finds Machine
Runs Smoothly and Sweetly.

BrattIeboro, VT, Dec 6.-Following
the Federal Dissolution of the Stan
dard Oil Company, another blow has
been struck at the oil octopus. Maple
syrup is found to be a substitute for
automobile oil The machine runs
smoothly and sweetly las it were, on
maple syrup.
G. o. Abbott, grocer, who has an au-
to, keeps his spare oil in an old maple
syrup can. His son put can of real
syrup in the cellar. near the oil can.
Mr. Hudson filled his crank case with
syrup by mistake and ran his car
twenty miles before anything went
wrong Then after coasting down
grade with the clutch thrown out, the
motor cooled and the syrup crystaliz-
ed on the piston.
Mr. Abbott says II he had kept the
engine running he would have finished
the run on syrup without trouble.
